Iridex Reports Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

 

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., August 8, 2024 -- Iridex Corporation (Nasdaq: IRIX), a worldwide leader providing innovative and versatile laser-based medical systems, delivery devices, and procedure probes for the treatment of glaucoma and retinal diseases, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 29, 2024, and provided a business update.

Second Quarter 2024 Financial and Recent Highlights

Generated total revenue of $12.6 million, representing sequential growth of 7% from the first quarter of 2024
Cyclo G6® product family revenue was $3.3 million, representing sequential growth of 13% from the first quarter of 2024
o
Sold 15,100 Cyclo G6 probes, compared to 13,300 in the first quarter of 2024 and 15,500 in the prior year period
o
Sold 28 Cyclo G6 Glaucoma Laser Systems, compared to 22 in the first quarter of 2024 and 41 in the prior year period
Retina product revenue was $7.3 million, representing sequential growth of 8% from the first quarter of 2024 and growth of 6% from the prior year period
Cash and cash equivalents as of June 29, 2024 was approximately $4.1 million, a reduction of $1.3 million in the quarter
Strengthened balance sheet with net proceeds of $3.4 million through convertible note offering funded August 7, 2024

“Our second quarter results demonstrate stabilization of the business. We drove solid year-over-year growth in our Retina business while growing glaucoma probe units 14% over the first quarter. We have observed a firmer capital environment as we closed on more extended-cycle equipment sales but generally cycles remain elongated. In glaucoma, stabilized procedure reimbursement in the U.S. supported sequential improvements in glaucoma probe shipments as expected,” said David Bruce, CEO of Iridex.

“I want to reiterate we are prioritizing pursuit of our strategic review process and seek to reach a transaction this fiscal year. The recent convertible note funding provides discounted prepayment options that can be utilized in the event of transaction completion, and when combined with further prudent expense reductions, maintains solid liquidity runway to continue growth recovery and reach completion of our strategic process. .”

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Revenue for the three months ended June 29, 2024 was $12.6 million, representing sequential growth of 7% from the first quarter of 2024, and generally flat compared to $12.9 million in the same period of the prior year. Retina product revenue increased to $7.3 million, representing growth of 8% compared


to the first quarter of 2024 and growth of 6% compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by higher Pascal system sales and conversions from longer purchasing cycles experienced in the first quarter of 2024. Total product revenue from the Cyclo G6® Glaucoma product group was $3.3 million, an increase of $0.4 million compared to the first quarter of 2024, primarily driven by 12% growth in probe sales, and a decrease of $0.3 million compared to the second quarter of 2023, due to softness in system sales impacted by the ongoing capital purchasing constraints. Other revenue decreased $0.3 million to $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by reduction of royalty revenue from expired patent licensing.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2024 was $5.1 million or a 40.7% gross margin, a decrease compared to $5.4 million, or a 41.7% gross margin, in the same period of the prior year driven by shifts in product mix.

Operating expenses of $7.8 million in the second quarter of 2024, decreased $0.5 million compared to $8.3 million in the same period of the prior year due to cost reduction initiatives, despite higher general and administrative expenses related to the company’s strategic process not seen in the prior year period.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2024 was $2.7 million, or $0.16 per share, compared to a net loss of $2.8 million, or $0.17 per share, in the same period of the prior year.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $4.1 million as of June 29, 2024, not including $3.4 million in net proceeds from the convertible note offering funded August 7, 2024. Cash use in the second quarter of 2024 was $1.3 million.
