Cynosure Reports Record Quarterly Revenue of $86.3 Million for the Fourth Quarter of 2014
1 hours 35 minutes ago - DJNF
WESTFORD, Mass., Feb. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Cynosure, Inc. (Nasdaq: CYNO), which designs, manufactures and markets medical devices for aesthetic procedures and precision surgical applications worldwide, today reported financial results for the three and 12 months ended December 31, 2014.
Financial Highlights
-- Q4 revenue up 16 percent year-over-year to $86.3 million
-- Q4 GAAP net income of $23.0 million, or $1.05 per diluted share,
reflecting the release of income tax valuation allowance
-- Q4 non-GAAP net income of $7.9 million, or $0.36 per diluted share,
excluding the release of income tax valuation allowance, acquisition
costs and amortization expenses
-- Q4 cash from operations of $22.2 million; $133.4 million in cash and
investments at December 31, 2014
-- Full-year 2014 revenue of $292.4 million, up 29 percent
"We capped an outstanding year in 2014 with a solid fourth quarter, driven by record revenues and continued profitability," said Cynosure Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Michael Davin. "Equally important, we continue to generate strong operating cash flow and strengthen our balance sheet, while at the same time stepping up R&D and marketing investments as we focus on accelerating the pace at which our products are coming to market."
"For example, we recently submitted, two months ahead of our original schedule, the 510(k) premarket notification to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for our newest flagship technology, a 1060 nm laser for the non-invasive reduction of fat, with a goal of introducing the product in the second half of 2015," Davin said. "We have expanded our engineering team and are investing in other product development initiatives. To address growing demand and new markets, we continue to broaden our distribution network, entering 2015 with the largest North American direct field sales force in the Company's history. To serve physicians in the women's health market, we are adding a 13-person specialty sales force to market MonaLisa Touch(TM) in North America."
Management's Comments on 2014
"Demand for our flagship picosecond laser, PicoSure(R) , remains a key driver of our North American laser business, which was up 29 percent in the fourth quarter of 2014 from the fourth quarter of 2013," Davin said. "PicoSure has become the gold standard for tattoo removal and benign pigmented lesions since its U.S. introduction less than two years ago. Over the past two quarters we have seen increasing orders for PicoSure's disposable FOCUS lens array, spurred by recent regulatory clearances for the treatment of wrinkles and acne scarring. We expect to introduce a 532 nm wavelength laser delivery system for PicoSure at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology in March which will be upgradable to the installed base. We also expect to introduce a third wavelength delivery system for PicoSure in the second half of the year. Internationally, our Asian subsidiaries and third-party distributors contributed to our top-line growth in the quarter, partly reflecting the addition of the new radiofrequency surgical assets we acquired from Ellman International in the third quarter."
"The Ellman transaction is just one of several major accomplishments for Cynosure in 2014, a year of growth, expansion and diversification," Davin said. "We completed the integration of Palomar Medical Technologies, an acquisition that helped us become one of the world's premier energy-based aesthetic companies. We secured new international regulatory clearances for certain of our products, including PicoSure and Smartlipo Triplex. We introduced MonaLisa Touch, a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser for the treatment of vaginal atrophy, a condition that affects primarily postmenopausal women, breast cancer survivors and women who have undergone hysterectomies. In addition, we demonstrated continued scientific leadership with 35 clinical research presentations at the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery Annual Conference."
Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2014
Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2014 were $86.3 million, an increase of 16 percent compared with $74.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2013.
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $23.0 million, or $1.05 per diluted share, compared with net income of $7.3 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2013. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2014 included an income tax benefit of $19.6 million, or $0.89 per diluted share, resulting from the release of the income tax valuation allowance relating to net deferred tax assets.
On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the income tax benefit relating to the release of the income tax valuation allowance, acquisition costs and amortization, fourth-quarter 2014 net income was $7.9 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $9.2 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, in the same period of 2013.
Cynosure had $133.4 million in cash and investments at December 31, 2014, compared with $113 million at the end of the third quarter of 2014 and $129 million at year-end 2013.
Recent Highlights
-- Submission of 510(k) for Non-Invasive Fat Reduction: Cynosure has
submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration a 510(k) application
to market its newest flagship product, a 1060 nm laser for the
non-invasive reduction of fat. The application is supported by clinical
data from approximately 100 patients treated with the device at two U.S.
sites.
-- Exclusive Agreement to Market MonaLisa Touch: Cynosure signed an
exclusive agreement with El.En. S.p.A. to market and distribute in North
America the MonaLisa Touch, a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser for the
treatment of vaginal atrophy, a condition that affects primarily
postmenopausal women, breast cancer survivors and women who have
undergone hysterectomies. Cynosure launched the MonaLisa Touch in
January.
-- Favorable Clinical Data: A multi-center trial showed a statistically
significant improvement in the vaginal health of women treated with the
MonaLisa Touch. The multicenter trial assessed the use of CO2 fractional
laser therapy on 30 women with menopause-related symptoms such as dryness,
pain, itching, painful urination and painful intercourse. Preliminary
trial data was presented in December at the 2014 Pelvic Anatomy and
Gynecologic Surgery Symposium.
Business Outlook
"We achieved 29 percent revenue growth and solid profitability in 2014 by successfully executing on our strategy of organic growth, complementary acquisitions and prudent balance sheet management," Davin said. "Today, we are financially and operationally stronger than at any point in our history. With the rollout of MonaLisa Touch and the planned introduction of our new non-invasive technology for fat removal in the second half of this year, we believe we are well positioned for momentum in 2015 and beyond."

WESTFORD, Mass., Dec. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Cynosure, Inc. (Nasdaq:CYNO), which develops and markets laser- and light-based aesthetic treatment systems for high-volume applications, today announced that it will receive $10 million plus future royalty payments under a comprehensive settlement agreement with Tria Beauty, Inc. that ends the patent infringement litigation between Tria and Palomar Medical Technologies, which Cynosure acquired in June 2013.
"This agreement resolves the litigation involving certain Palomar patents, eliminating potential future legal expense to enforce those patents," said Michael R. Davin, Cynosure's President and CEO. "Equally important, the settlement fully values our intellectual property rights by fairly compensating Cynosure and its shareholders for sales of products based on our proprietary hair-removal technology."
The settlement includes two non-exclusive patent license agreements between Cynosure and Tria:
•The first agreement grants Tria a non-exclusive, worldwide license to U.S. Patent Nos. 5,735,844 and 5,595,568 and foreign counterparts for consumer hair removal products. These patents were acquired from Palomar by Cynosure. As part of the agreement, Tria will pay Cynosure $8.5 million. The first payment of $3.4 million is to be made by December 20, 2013. The second payment of $5.1 million is to be made on the earlier of September 15, 2014 or five business days following an initial public offering by Tria or a change of control of Tria. In addition, Cynosure will receive a royalty-free license to certain Tria patents outside the consumer field.
•The second agreement grants Tria a non-exclusive, royalty bearing, worldwide license to the claims of certain Palomar patents, including but not limited to U.S. Patent Nos. 8,182,473, 8,328,794, and 8,328,796, for consumer hair removal products. These patent claims cover the hair removal products that were the subject of the second lawsuit between Palomar and Tria. As part of the agreement, Tria will pay Cynosure $1.5 million covering sales made prior to October 1, 2013. The first payment of $600,000 is to be made by December 20, 2013. The second payment of $900,000 is to be made on the earlier of December 20, 2014 or five business days following an initial public offering by Tria or a change of control of Tria. In addition, Cynosure will receive a 3% royalty on U.S. sales made after October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2021 with respect to U.S. Patent Nos. 8,182,473, 8,328,794, and 8,328,796 or through the expiration of any other licensed Palomar patent if such expiration is after September 30, 2021, unless the second agreement is terminated earlier.
