Cynosure Reports Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2011

Westford, Mass., July 26, 2011: Cynosure, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYNO) today announced financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Financial Highlights

Second-quarter 2011 revenues increased 23 percent to $26.3 million from $21.5 million for the same period in 2010. The net loss for the quarter was $1.3 million, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share, which included $1.2 million of expenses associated with the acquisition of the aesthetic laser business of HOYA ConBio^®. On an adjusted basis, excluding the acquisition expenses, the Company’s net loss narrowed to $151,000, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, compared with a net loss of $1.5 million, or $0.12 per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2010.

“Laser product sales grew more than $4 million in the second quarter of 2011 as compared to the second quarter of 2010, fueled by a 42% increase in our international business,” said Michael Davin, Cynosure’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our international distributors and European subsidiaries, in particular, saw robust revenue gains in the quarter, reflecting our investments in these regions. Pricing in both domestic and overseas markets was stable. North American laser sales grew 9% year-over-year, despite the economic uncertainty and challenging credit environment that continue to hamper the U.S. aesthetic laser market.”

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was 57.2 percent, compared with 57.8 percent for the same period of 2010. The change in gross margin reflects a larger revenue contribution from international markets, particularly the Company’s third-party distributors, which carry lower average selling prices and margins than products sold through direct distribution channels.

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2011 were $16.3 million, or 62 percent of revenues, which included $1.2 million of expenses associated with the acquisition of HOYA ConBio’s aesthetic laser business, which has been rebranded as ConBio™, a Cynosure Company. Operating expenses totaled $13.3 million, or 62 percent of revenues, for the second quarter of 2010.

Launch of New Cellulite Reduction Technology

“During the quarter, we launched our new platform of non-invasive and minimally invasive products to treat the appearance of cellulite,” Davin said. “We began global revenue shipments of SmoothShapes XV, the non-invasive cellulite and body-shaping solution acquired this year as part of our asset purchase from Elemé Medical. SmoothShapes XV has received a positive response from customers and physician luminaries. We expect to begin shipments in the third quarter of a new ‘Petite’ laser handpiece that will enable practitioners to use the SmoothShapes XV to treat smaller areas including the arms, neck and calves.”

The second quarter also marked the European rollout of the Company’s Cellulaze™ workstation, the world’s first minimally invasive aesthetic laser for long-lasting reduction of cellulite in a single treatment. The product, which includes Cynosure’s proprietary SideLight 3D™ side-firing technology, is marketed through the Company’s direct sales offices in Europe. In the second half of 2011, Cynosure is expanding Cellulaze to include third-party distributors in Europe as well as in Australia, where the product recently received regulatory clearance.

The Canadian regulatory agency Health Canada issued a Medical Device License in July 2011 authorizing the sale of Cellulaze in that country. “Canadian regulatory approval is another key milestone in our strategy to broaden the global reach of our new cellulite reduction platform,” Davin said. SmoothShapes XV also was approved for marketing in Canada earlier this year.

The Company’s 510(k) application for marketing clearance of Cellulaze in the United States is currently undergoing review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

ConBio™ Acquisition

“The ConBio integration is moving ahead smoothly, and we expect the initial phase of the integration process to be completed in the third quarter,” Davin said. “We see significant revenue potential in ConBio’s current products, as well as cross-selling and marketing opportunities. ConBio currently has an installed base of more than 3,200 systems, strong brand equity, excellent physician relationships, and an outstanding sales organization that spans more than 30 countries.”

Business Outlook

“We begin the second half of 2011 encouraged about the prospects for our business,” Davin said. “While the North American environment remains challenging, total revenues through the first two quarters of the year are up 19% over 2010. Looking ahead, our goal is to ensure that we optimize the newly acquired Elemé and ConBio assets, successfully complete the ConBio integration and further expand the geographic penetration of our cellulite reduction platform. While we would expect to see the traditional seasonal pullback in business in the third quarter, we believe that Cynosure remains well-positioned in the marketplace with numerous long-term growth opportunities.”
