  • International revenue of $40.8 million, up 8%
  • North America revenue of $19.3 million, up 1%
  • EBU1 segment revenue of $6.9 million, up 37%

  • PAD2 segment non-GAAP operating margin of 9.1%
  • Non-GAAP EPS of $0.03
  • Cash and investments portfolio of $128.4 million at September 30, 2012

2012 YTD Year-Over-Year Financial Highlights Include:

  • International revenue of $128.2 million up 16%
  • North America revenue of $62.7 million, up 11%
  • EBU segment revenue of $19.9 million, up 42%
  • Non-GAAP gross margin of 54.7%, up from 53.8%, or 52.6% up from 50.7% on a GAAP basis 
  • PAD segment non-GAAP operating margin of 9.6%, or 3.7% on a GAAP basis 
  • Non-GAAP EPS of $0.10

Louis P. Scafuri, Chief Executive Officer of Syneron, commented, "During the third quarter we continued to execute on our strategic initiatives and achieved another quarter of year-over-year revenue growth, improved gross margin, and non-GAAP profitability. In the PAD segment, international sales were solid. In North America, we completed a restructuring of our U.S. sales force in July in order to improve our market coverage and enhance full product line sales, including a focus on body shaping. While this restructuring had a short-term impact on North American sales, it positions us for improved penetration across market segments from the U.S. team. We are off to a solid start in North American in the fourth quarter, and we also expect to benefit from the recent launch of the elos Plus™ next generation multi-platform system in the U.S. and the transition of the UltraShape business to our direct sales and marketing team in Canada. At the end of the quarter we also announced the global launch of the Gentle Pro-U series of upgradeable aesthetic laser systems, providing another driver for our sales force in the fourth quarter."

Mr. Scafuri continued, "In the EBU, we had another good quarter with elure Advanced Skin Brightening, the me home-use hair removal system and the Tanda family of products. We also gained CE Mark for our new dental laser system, the LiteTouch II, and began sales during the quarter. In October, we were pleased to receive FDA clearance for the me home-use, elos based hair removal product, marking the first home-use product cleared by the FDA for all skin types. The commercialization plan for the me system is in place and we are working towards a launch through prestige retail partners and direct to consumer channels in the first quarter of 2013.

"During the third quarter we developed a strategic plan to improve the operating performance of the EBU segment. Our goal is to focus the EBU's growth investments on initiatives that will drive higher margins in order to improve the EBU's contribution to our consolidated financial results. We expect this plan to begin yielding results in the fourth quarter."

Mr. Scafuri concluded, "We are also pleased to have Hugo Goldman join our team as Chief Financial Officer and Jonathan Pearson join as Executive Vice President of Business Development, Topical Products. Both of these additions strengthen our management team and position us to better capitalize on our significant growth opportunities."

Revenue: Third quarter 2012 revenue was $60.1 million, an increase of 5.5% compared to $57.0 million in the third quarter of 2011. The year-over-year revenue growth was driven by ongoing new product adoption and new products in the PAD segment, combined with continued growth in EBU segment revenue.

Non-GAAP Financial Highlights for the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2012:

Gross Margin for the third quarter 2012 was 55.3%, compared to 53.8% in third quarter 2011, primarily due to a higher production and sales volume and recently implemented costs cutting and efficiency measures, partially offset by a slight year-over-year decline in EBU gross margin.

Operating Income for the third quarter 2012 was $1.7 million, up from $1.2 million in third quarter 2011, representing 2.8% of revenue in the third quarter 2012, compared to 2.2% in the third quarter 2011.

The year-over-year increase in non-GAAP operating income was primarily related to the revenue growth and the 150 basis point improvement in gross margin, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses associated with the growth in EBU segment revenues. The EBU currently incurs higher relative operating expenses compared to the PAD segment due to start-up costs associated with developing and significant investment in marketing its emerging technologies and products.

Net Income was $1.0 million in both the third quarter 2012 and 2011.

Earnings Per Share was $0.03 in both the third quarter 2012 and 2011.

Net income and earnings per share for the third quarter 2012 are adjusted to exclude the following items, which are detailed in the Company's financial tables:

  • Amortization of acquired intangible assets of $2.0 million
  • Stock-based compensation of $0.9 million
  • Other non-recurring costs of $1.0 million
  • Income tax adjustment benefit of $0.5 million

GAAP Financial Highlights for the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2012:

Gross Margin for the third quarter 2012 was 53.2%, compared to 50.6% in third quarter 2011, primarily due to a higher production and sales volume and recently implemented costs cutting and efficiency measures, partially offset by a slight year-over-year decline in EBU gross margin.

Operating Loss for the third quarter 2012 was $2.1 million, compared to $37.0 million in third quarter 2011.

The decrease in GAAP operating loss was primarily related to a one-time payment of $31.0 million in the third quarter 2011 to Palomar in settlement of the litigations against Syneron and Candela and the corresponding increase in legal expenses associated with the Palomar settlement, as well as revenue growth and the 260 basis point improvement in gross margin.

Net Loss for the third quarter 2012 was $2.3 million, compared to $40.1 million in third quarter of 2011.

Loss Per Share for the third quarter 2012 was $(0.06), compared to $(1.14) in third quarter 2011.

Cash Position: As of September 30, 2012, the Company's cash and investments portfolio was $128.4 million.

David Schlachet, interim Chief Financial Officer of Syneron, commented, "We continued to deliver solid operating results in the PAD segment in the third quarter.  PAD segment gross margin reached its highest levels since our merger with Candela, and operating margin remained solid at 9.1% despite the lower than anticipated revenue in North America. On a consolidated basis, we delivered another quarter of non-GAAP profitability and remain well positioned to continue improving our gross margin and leveraging our fixed cost base to achieve an enhanced profitability profile."

Mr. Schlachet added, "We finished the quarter with $128.4 million in cash and investments and no debt. We have the strongest balance sheet in the industry and continue to evaluate potential opportunities to leverage our cash position to enhance our growth trajectory and build value for our shareholders."

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
This press release provides financial measures for gross margin, operating margin, operating income (loss), net income (loss), earnings (loss) per share, which exclude one-time expenses relating to the mergers with Candela Corporation and Primaeva Medical Inc, an expense charge related to stock-based compensation and amortization, one-time severance and other one-time charges and non-recurring costs, and non-recurring costs associated with the voluntary field action regarding the LiteTouch Dental Laser Product in Europe, and are therefore not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance because it reflects our ongoing operational results, operating margin, operating income (loss), net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management uses non-GAAP measures when evaluating the business internally and, therefore, felt it important to make these non-GAAP adjustments available to investors. A reconciliation of each GAAP to non-GAAP financial measure discussed in this press release is contained in the accompanying financial tables.
