STAAR Surgical Reports 16% Third Quarter Revenue Growth

Revenue Grows to $15.3 Million
Visian® ICL™ Revenue Increase of 31%, or $1.9 Million
Improvement of 570 Basis Points Drives Gross Margin To 68.5%
$2.5 Million in Cash Generated from Operations; Cash at a Record $16.9 Million
PMDA Clarifies Pathway for Japanese Approval of Toric ICL

MONROVIA, CA, October 24, 2011 -- STAAR Surgical Company (NASDAQ: STAA), a leading developer, manufacturer and marketer of minimally invasive ophthalmic products, today reported strong financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011.  Revenue for the quarter grew by 16% or $2.1 million over the third quarter of 2010 to $15.3 million, fueled by a 52% mix of Visian ICL sales.  Sales of Visian ICLs increased 31% or $1.9 million to a total of $7.9 million for the quarter.  The higher contribution to mix and price of Visian ICLs combined with improved margins in IOLs generated gross margin of 68.5% as compared to 62.8% during the third quarter of 2010.

Operating income for the third quarter grew to $0.7 million as compared to a $1.2 million loss in the third quarter of 2010.  This represents a $1.9 million improvement at the operating income line from a $2.1 million increase in revenues year over year.  During the third quarter, the Company was negatively impacted by over $0.4 million as a result of exchange losses as the dollar gained strength against the euro and Swiss franc, and the fair value adjustment of outstanding warrants due to the increased price of the Company’s stock.  In total, the Company experienced a $0.8 million negative swing in other income as compared to the year ago period and a $0.6 million negative swing as compared to the second quarter of this year.  Net income totaled $77,000, or $0.00 per share, compared with a net loss of $1.2 million, or $0.03 per share, in the third quarter of 2010, representing a $1.2 million improvement.  This marks the first time the Company has reported three consecutive quarters of profitability since 1999.  Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at September 30, 2011 increased to $16.9 million from $13.1 million at the end of the second quarter as the Company generated $2.5 million in cash from operations.

“We again have generated very strong growth from our high margin Visian ICL products as a result of our focus on the top global refractive markets,” said Barry G. Caldwell, President and CEO.  “In our top 10 targeted markets the Visian ICL grew by 33%, with five of those ten markets accounting for 85% of the total ICL revenue growth.   During the third quarter we celebrated over one quarter of a million Visian ICL implants and we believe the Visian ICL is the fastest growing refractive technology in the world.  The history of refractive surgery has evolved over time through several technology eras, including RK, PRK and LASIK.  We believe that we can now see the momentum forming for the beginning years of the next era, that being the era of the ICL procedure.”

“The gross profit margin in the quarter of 68.5% represents a 570 basis point improvement over the third quarter last year and a 170 basis point sequential improvement.  This reflects a stronger mix toward higher margin ICL and IOL sales and a reduction in our lower gross margin product sales,” continued Mr. Caldwell. “Due to the operating leverage in our business model, most of our revenue and gross margin gains fall directly to the operating income line.  Based on the free cash flow generated by these gains, we feel comfortable that our growth plans can be funded from current cash level and future operating cash flow.”

“Due largely to non-operating related accounting items; our net income was below our expectations for the quarter.  The high income tax rate you see in our results is one of the key reasons behind our plan to consolidate all STAAR manufacturing operations to Monrovia, California.  We expect the transition to take two years to complete and provide a savings of over $100 million in taxes and labor during the period of 2014 to 2020,” Mr. Caldwell concluded.

“During September we had a very strong presence at the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) Meeting, where the number of presentations on the Visian ICL doubled what they were in 2010,” added Hans Blickensdoerfer, President of EMEA Region.  “There was very significant interest in the new CentraFLOW technology from both current ICL users and from surgeons who are not current users of the technology.  The CentraFLOW technology eliminates a step that typically requires an additional procedure and visit to the surgeon’s office, making the new, one-step ICL process more convenient for the patient and surgeon.  That momentum has continued this week at the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) Meeting, as surgeons from throughout the world are able to hear and see STAAR’s new technologies.  We also made our first shipments of the nanoFLEX™, Single Piece Collamer® IOL, to Europe late in the quarter and began training surgeons in France, Belgium and the Netherlands.”

Recent Visian Implantable Collamer® Lens (ICL) Highlights

·
Third quarter Visian ICL sales grew to $7.9 million, a 31% increase from $6 million in the third quarter of 2010
·
Sales in STAAR’s top 10 targeted markets increased 33% in the third quarter with five of the ten markets posting a total sales increase of nearly $1.6 million. Japan, China, Korea, India and the Middle East led the strong performance.  The first four markets also accounted for very strong growth during the second quarter of this year.
·
The expanded range of treatments available with the V4b ICL accounted for a 7% increase in Visian ICL revenues in the markets where it was sold during the quarter.
·
ICL unit volume increased 26% while average selling prices increased and a stronger mix of Toric ICLs was achieved.  There were also cost improvements in the product.  All of which contributed to an overall 300 basis point improvement in gross margin.
·
The marketing prelaunch plan for the new Visian V4c ICL was completed during the quarter and shipments to markets in Europe began in October. The V4c design provides more comfort for the patient and a more convenient, efficient and cost-effective procedure for both the patient and the surgeon.  It allows the ICL technology to now compete head to head for every LASIK procedure in those markets in which it is approved.
·
STAAR announced last week that the application with PMDA for Visian Toric ICL approval in Japan will not have to go before the Approval Committee.  The Japan market is a significant opportunity for the Visian ICL given the higher than normal prevalence of myopia and astigmatism.  STAAR is working closely with PMDA to complete the process for final approval.

Recent Intraocular Lens (IOL) Highlights

·
Third quarter IOL sales were unchanged at $6.6 million when compared with the third quarter of 2010. The sales of lower priced non-preloaded silicone IOLs continued to decline.
·
Foreign exchange had a favorable impact on IOL sales of $379,000, primarily due to preloaded IOL sales in Japan.
·
Preloaded IOL sales increased in volume and price with some improvement in cost of goods while nanoFLEX units slightly declined while price increased and cost declined.
·
Preloaded acrylic IOL sales increased by 47% during the quarter compared to the third quarter of 2010.
·
Overall, IOL gross margins improved by nearly 400 basis points as average selling prices increased, costs improved, and mix continued to shift to higher margin IOLs.
·
The initial shipments of the nanoFLEX IOL to select European markets began during the final week of the third quarter.

Third Quarter Financial Highlights

 
·
Total net sales in the third quarter increased 16% or $2.1 million to $15.3 million from $13.2 million in the third quarter of 2010.  Foreign currency changes had a favorable impact on sales of $436,000, primarily affecting preloaded IOL sales in Japan.
 
·
Gross margin increased to 68.5% of revenue compared with 62.8% in the prior year’s third quarter.  The increase reflected a 52% mix of ICL sales to total sales and improvements across the board in price and cost of goods.
 
·
Operating expenses totaled $9.7 million, a 3% increase over the third quarter 2010 total of $9.5 million.  Foreign currency changes unfavorably impacted operating expenses by $174,000.
 
-
General and Administrative spending increased approximately $229,000 due to increased bonus accruals based upon performance and costs associated with the Company’s project to maximize future profits through revised manufacturing and tax strategies.
 
-
Marketing and Selling expenses decreased as a result of the transition of the Company’s Australia business to a distribution model.
 
-
Research and Development expenses increased due to higher headcount and patent related costs.
 
·
Other expenses totaled $446,000, compared with other income in the third quarter of 2010 of $390,000.  This $835,000 swing is due primarily to foreign exchange losses of $277,000 recorded during the quarter compared with $446,000 in exchange gains which were recorded in the third quarter of 2010.  In addition, other expense increased approximately $150,000 as a result of the fair value adjustment of outstanding warrants.
 
·
Net income in the third quarter of 2011 was $77,000, or $0.00 per share, compared with a net loss in the third quarter of 2010 of $1.2 million, or $0.03 per share, a $1.2 million improvement.
 
·
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $16.9 million at September 30, 2011 compared with $13.1 million at July 1, 2011.  The Company generated $2.5 million in cash from operating activities and received approximately $1.8 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options during the third quarter.

Nine Months Financial Highlights

 
·
Total net sales in the first nine months of 2011 grew 14%, or $5.8 million, to $46.4 million from $40.6 million in the first nine months of 2010.   Foreign currency changes favorably impacted sales by $1.4 million.
 
-
Visian ICL sales totaled $23.1 million, 30% above sales of $17.8 million reported for the first nine months of 2010.
 
-
IOL sales totaled $20.8 million, a 2% increase over $20.4 million reported during the first nine months of 2010.
 
·
Gross margin increased to 66.7% of revenue from 63.5% for the first nine months of 2010. The increase was largely attributable to a higher mix of ICL sales and improved margins in IOL sales.
 
·
Total operating expenses were $28.8 million, a 4% increase over the first nine months of 2010 of $27.7 million.  Foreign currency changes unfavorably impacted operating expenses by $688,000.  Increases in operating expenses were partially offset by a $700,000 decrease in severance costs.
 
-
General and Administrative spending increased approximately $1.2 million due to increased bonus accruals based upon performance and costs associated with the Company’s project to maximize future profits through revised manufacturing and tax strategies.
 
-
Marketing and Selling expenses increased $581,000 due to increased headcount, partially offset by decreased expenses as a result of the sale of the Company’s Australia distribution business.
 
-
Research and Development expenses declined slightly.
 
·
Other income was $110,000, compared with other expense of $945,000 for the first nine months of 2010.  This swing is due to reduced interest and other expense resulting from the repayment of the Broadwood note in 2010, foreign exchange gains, increased royalty income, and income from the fair value adjustment of outstanding warrants.
 
·
For the first nine months ended September 30, 2011, income from continuing operations and net income totaled $1.2 million or $0.03 per share.  For the nine months ended October 1, 2010, the Company reported a loss from continuing operations of $3.4 million, income from discontinued operations of $4.2 million, and net income of $744,000, or $0.02 per share.

These statements are based on expectations and assumptions as of the date of this press release and are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties include the following: our limited capital resources and limited access to financing; the negative effect poor global economic conditions on sales of products, especially products such as the ICL used in non-reimbursed elective procedures; the challenge of managing our foreign subsidiaries; backlog as we ramp up production to meet rapidly growing demand for our products; the risk of unfavorable changes in currency exchange rate; the discretion of regulatory agencies to approve or reject new products, or to require additional actions before approval; unexpected costs or delays that could reduce or eliminate the expected benefits of our consolidation plans; the willingness of surgeons and patients to adopt a new product and procedure; patterns of Visian ICL use that have typically limited our penetration of the refractive surgery market, and a general decline in the demand for refractive surgery particularly in the U.S., which STAAR believes has resulted from both concerns about the safety and effectiveness of laser procedures and current economic conditions.  The Visian Toric ICL and the V4c are not yet approved for sales in the United States.
