FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Oculus Innovative Sciences Reports Record Fourth Quarter, Beating Quarterly Guidance; and Reports Year-End Revenue for Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2011
Conference Call Begins at 4:30 p.m. (EDT) Today
PETALUMA, Calif. (June 2, 2011) – Oculus Innovative Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: OCLS) today announced financial and operating results for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, ended March 31, 2011. Total revenue was $2.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to $2.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010. Product revenue was $2.5 million, up 27%, from $2.0 million in the prior year’s fourth quarter with increases in the United States, Mexico, Europe and China while partially offset by a decline in the Middle East and India. Net loss minus non-cash expenses for the quarter was $931,000, compared to $1.0 million in the same quarter last year.
“The combination of the planned increase in animal healthcare royalties to approximately 30 percent, effective July 1, and the continued sales ramp in these animal healthcare products, will generate larger revenue growth for Oculus in fiscal year 2012,” said Hoji Alimi, founder and CEO of Oculus. “At the same time, we look forward to the launch of Microcyn-based prescription products in dermatology and podiatry markets during the year by our U.S. partners, which will present robust revenue opportunities that further support our growth.”
Product revenue in the United States increased $269,000, or 45% compared to the same quarter last year, with growth in animal health care resulting from national advertising programs and sales initiatives sponsored by Oculus’ partner, Innovacyn, as well as professional human wound care and dermatology. These increases were partially offset by a small decline in sales from Oculus partner, Union Springs Pharmaceuticals.
Revenue in Mexico increased 29% from the prior year period with 28% growth in sales for the smaller 120- and 240-milliliter units, and 32% growth in sales of the 5-liter units. Most of this growth occurred as a result of price increases, improved product mix and a strengthening of the peso. The unit sales of the 120- and 240-milliliter presentations, which are primarily sold to pharmacies in Mexico, increased 6% from the prior year to a monthly average of 47,100 units compared to 44,300 in the same period last year
Europe and Rest-of-World revenue decreased $10,000, down 2% over the prior year period, caused by a decline in sales to the Middle East and India, mostly offset by increases in Europe and China.
Service revenue decreased $46,000 when compared to the prior year period due to a decrease in the number of tests provided by Oculus’ services business.
Oculus reported gross profit from its Microcyn products business of $1.9 million, or 75% of product revenues, during the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to a gross profit of $1.2 million, or 61%, in the prior year period. The improved gross margins represent higher margins in the United States, Europe, Mexico and Rest-of-World. The higher margins in the United States are due to higher units sold and product mix for certain U.S. sales. Mexico’s margins were 78% during the quarter ended March 31, 2011, compared to 75% in the prior year.
Total operating expenses increased $592,000, or 22%, to $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $2.7 million in the prior year. Operating expenses minus non-cash expenses during the quarter were $2.7 million, up from $2.4 million in the same period last year. Research and development expense increased $310,000, to $630,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $320,000 in the prior year period. Most of the increase was attributable to a non-cash $152,000 write-off of research equipment, studies needed for regulatory approvals and the development of new products.
Selling, general and administrative expense increased $282,000, or 12%, to $2.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011, from $2.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase was primarily due to higher-sales-related costs in the United States and Mexico, partially offset by lower sales and marketing costs in Europe.
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $1.7 million, up $242,000 from $1.5 million for the same period in the prior year. Net loss minus non-cash expenses for the quarter was $931,000.
The interest payments for the fourth fiscal quarter increased $93,000 due to the higher debt position when compared to the same period last year. Stock compensation expenses for the quarters ended March 2011 and 2010, were $527,000 and $288,000, respectively.
As of March 31, 2011, Oculus had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $4.4 million, compared with $6.2 million as of March 31, 2010, and $4.7 million as of December 31, 2010. The company’s total debt position was $3.1 million as of March 31, 2011, compared with $3.2 million as of December 31, 2010 and $0.3 million as of March 31, 2010.
Results for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2011
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, Oculus reported total revenue of $9.8 million, up $2.4 million from the $7.4 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010. The worldwide product revenue was up 40% from the same period last year with increases in the United States, Europe, Mexico, Middle East and China. The gross margin on product revenue in the fiscal year 2011 was 67%, compared with 58% in the fiscal year 2010, due to an improved product mix in U.S. sales.
The net loss in the fiscal year 2011 was $7.9 million, or $0.30 per share, compared with the net loss of $8.2 million, or $0.36 per share, in the fiscal year 2010. The non-cash stock-compensation expense for the fiscal year 2011 was $2.4 million, compared with $1.4 million for the same period last year.

Net loss minus non-cash expenses is a non-GAAP financial measure. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position or cash flow that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company defines net loss minus non-cash expenses as GAAP reported net loss minus depreciation, stock-based compensation, a change in the fair value of derivative liabilities, and non-cash interest. The Company uses this measure for the purpose of modifying the net loss to reflect only those expenses, which do not reflect a direct cash payment during the measurement period.
|
|
(2)
|
Operating expenses minus non-cash expenses is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines non-operating expenses minus non-cash expenses as GAAP reported operating expenses minus depreciation and stock-based compensation. The Company uses this measure for the purpose of identifying the total operating expenses, which involve direct cash payments during the measurement period.
