  • Revenues of $17.7 million, up 175% from $6.4 million in third quarter 2010; up sequentially from $17.4 million in second quarter 2011
  • Installed base increased 29% to 812 units as of September 30, 2011, compared to 629 units as of June 30, 2011

PLEASANTON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 16, 2011--ZELTIQ Aesthetics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZLTQ) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011.

Gordie Nye, CEO of ZELTIQ Aesthetics said, “Our revenue growth demonstrates the continued demand for CoolSculpting® from physicians and consumers. CoolSculpting represents a strong value proposition, especially in our current economic climate. Patients experience appreciable reduction of diet and exercise-resistant fat in a single, one-hour, non-invasive treatment with limited downtime, pain, bruising, scarring or anesthesia.

“Our successful initial public offering underscores investor confidence in the CoolSculpting growth opportunity and our ability to execute on our marketing and sales initiatives. The approximately $89 million in capital raised, net of expenses, allows us to aggressively move ahead with these initiatives. We look forward to expanding our product offering, raising consumer awareness of our highly differentiated procedure, and building the CoolSculpting brand globally.”

Third Quarter Financial Review

Total net revenues for the third quarter of 2011 were $17.7 million, consisting of $13.2 million of systems revenues and $4.5 million of procedure fees revenues. This compares to total net revenues of $6.4 million, consisting of $5.3 million of systems revenues and $1.1 million of procedure fees revenues in the third quarter of 2010. Second quarter 2011 revenues were $17.4 million, consisting of $12.0 million of systems revenues and $5.4 million of procedure fees revenues. The sequential growth in systems revenue was attributed to an increase of our installed base from 629 units as of June 30, 2011 to 812 units as of September 30, 2011. As anticipated, both systems and procedure fees revenues during the third quarter of 2011 were negatively impacted by seasonal trends during the summer months in the United States and Europe due to vacations taken by our physician customers and their patients.

Gross profit was $10.4 million, or 58.9% of revenues, in the third quarter of 2011, compared to gross profit of $3.4 million, or 52.5% of revenues in the third quarter of 2010. The year-over-year increase in gross profit was driven by an increase in procedure fees as a percentage of total revenues. Second quarter 2011 gross profit was $10.7 million, or 61.4% of revenues. The sequential decline in gross profit was driven by a modest decline in procedure fees as a percentage of total revenues due to seasonality in the third quarter.


Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2011 were $13.2 million, compared to $6.3 million in the third quarter of 2010 and $10.8 million in the second quarter of 2011. The year-over-year and sequential increase was primarily the result of growth of the North American direct sales force, certain costs associated with preparing for an initial public offering, costs to develop marketing materials and collateral for planned marketing initiatives and increased research and development costs.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2011 was $2.9 million, compared to $3.0 million in the third quarter of 2010 and $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2011. Included in the net loss for the third quarter of 2011 was $0.6 million of stock-based compensation expense. Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2011 was $3.17 per share, compared to $4.69 per share in the third quarter of 2010, and $1.60 per share in the second quarter of 2011.

About ZELTIQ Aesthetics

We are a medical technology company focused on developing and commercializing products utilizing our proprietary controlled-cooling technology platform. Our first commercial product, the CoolSculpting System, is designed to selectively reduce stubborn fat bulges that may not respond to diet or exercise. CoolSculpting is based on the scientific principle that fat cells are more sensitive to cold than the overlying skin and surrounding tissues. CoolSculpting utilizes our patented technology of precisely controlled cooling to reduce the temperature of fat cells in the treated area, which is intended to cause fat cell elimination through a natural biological process known as apoptosis, without causing scar tissue or damage to the skin, nerves, or surrounding tissues. We developed CoolSculpting to safely, noticeably, and measurably reduce the fat layer within a treated fat bulge without requiring the patient to diet or exercise.
