Solta Medical Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2010 Results

Full Year 2010 Revenue Up 12% from Prior Year

Company Generates Record $10.2 Million in Cash Flow from Operations for 2010

Preliminary Outlook for 2011 Provided

HAYWARD, Calif., February 22, 2011 — Solta Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLTM), a global leader in the medical aesthetics market, today announced results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2010. Revenue for the fourth quarter was $30.1 million, an increase of $1.7 million, or 6%, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2009. The improved results for the quarter were driven primarily by a 19% year-over-year increase in sales of treatment tips and consumables.

GAAP net loss for the quarter was $0.2 million as compared to GAAP net loss of $0.3 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2009. Non-GAAP net income was $1.7 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for both the current quarter and for same period last year. Cash flow generated from operations for the quarter was $3.4 million.

Revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 grew 12% to $110.9 million, as compared to revenue of $98.8 million for the full year 2009.

The GAAP net loss for the year was $2.0 million, or a loss of $0.03 per share, as compared to a net loss of $11.2 million, or a loss of $0.23 per share reported for the full year 2009. Non-GAAP net income for the full year was $6.8 million, or $0.11 per diluted share as compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $0.8 million, or a loss of $0.02 per share reported for the full year 2009. Cash flow generated from operations for the full year was $10.2 million.

Solta Medical’s GAAP results for the fourth quarter and full year 2010 include non-cash amortization and other acquisition related charges of $1.3 million and $6.3 million, respectively, and non-cash stock based compensation charges of $0.6 million and $2.5 million, respectively. The Company provides additional non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these charges and expenses. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the tables included in this release.

“Solta accomplished key operational milestones in 2010 under challenging economic conditions. We grew top-line revenue by 12%, expanded our gross margin by more than three percentage points to 63%, produced positive non-GAAP EBITDA every quarter, and generated record cash flow from operations of $10.2 million,” said Stephen J.


Fanning, Chairman, President & CEO. “Earlier this month, we received positive response to the introduction of our two new products at the American Academy of Dermatology meeting, Clear+Brillant and the Fraxel 1927. In 2011, we will continue to pursue strategic initiatives that address the needs of physicians, clinicians, and consumers with technologies that provide superior aesthetic and therapeutic benefits delivered in a simple, elegant, and cost effective manner.”

Financial Outlook for 2011

The company provided a preliminary financial outlook for 2011 as follows:

 

   

Revenue for the full year 2011 in the range of $118 million to $123 million, representing an increase 6% to 11% from 2010 revenue. The company expects year-over-year revenue growth of high single digits for the first six months of 2011 to be followed by year-over-year revenue growth in the range of 10% to 15% for the last half of 2011. The higher rate of revenue growth in the second half of the year is projected to be driven by the introduction and expanded distribution of products.

 

   

Non-GAAP gross margin in the range of 66% to 68% for the full year 2011. Non-GAAP gross margin excludes non-cash amortization charges, non-cash stock based compensation charges, and acquisition related adjustments. For 2010, the company’s non-GAAP gross margin was 66%.

 

   

Positive non-GAAP EBITDA for every quarter and for the full-year 2011. Non-GAAP EBITDA excludes non-cash amortization charges, non-cash stock based compensation charges, and acquisition related adjustments. For 2010 non-GAAP EBITDA totaled $9.9 million which included a one-time legal settlement gain of $2.2 million.

Non-GAAP Presentation

To supplement the condensed consolidated financial information presented on a GAAP basis, management has provided non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share measures that exclude the impact of acquisition related adjustments, severance costs, acquisition related costs, and stock-based compensation expenses. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with insight into what is used by management to conduct a more meaningful and consistent comparison of the Company’s ongoing operating results and trends, compared with historical results. This presentation is also consistent with the measures management uses to measure the performance of ongoing operating results against prior periods and against our internally developed targets. There are limitations in using these non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. Investors and potential investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures only in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures attached to this release.
