IRVINE, CA (March 8, 2012) BIOLASE Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:BLTI), the Worlds leading dental laser manufacturer and distributor, today reported unaudited operating results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2011.
As previously announced, net revenue for the 2011 fourth quarter was $13.2 million, up 36 percent from $9.7 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by BIOLASEs exit from an exclusive distribution arrangement in August 2010 with Henry Schein, Inc. (NASDAQ:HSIC) and the Companys return to a direct sales and selected-distributor business model. Net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $48.9 million, up 87 percent from $26.2 million in 2010.
Excluding equipment sales to Henry Schein to satisfy its irrevocable purchase orders, the repayment of a liability in product, net revenue for the 2011 fourth quarter was $13.2 million, compared to $7.2 million for the 2010 fourth quarter, an increase of $6.0 million, or 83 percent. Net revenue was $43 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, excluding equipment sales to Henry Schein to satisfy its irrevocable purchase orders, compared to $23.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $19.9 million, or 86 percent. When excluding equipment sales to Henry Schein to satisfy its irrevocable purchase orders of $5.9 million and $3.1 million in fiscal year 2011 and 2010, respectively, and royalties of $439,000 and $1.6 million in fiscal year 2011 and 2010, respectively, net revenue increased $21.1 million, or 98 percent, year over year.
Federico Pignatelli, Chairman and CEO, said, Growth for the year and quarter continued to be strong through year end despite the unforeseeable challenges from an intense and aggressive selling campaign by our former exclusive distributor that resulted in approximately 180 Waterlase MD Turbo laser systems being sold out of its previous inventory in the fourth quarter. Based on information provided by this distributor, it sold approximately 260 systems during fiscal 2011 from its 2008 and 2009 inventory purchases. By purchasing the remaining inventory of Waterlase MD Turbo laser systems held by this distributor at a fraction of its original purchase price, we have now eliminated the great uncertainty and disruption of our direct sales effort that has significantly affected us this past year.
During 2011, Pignatelli continued, BIOLASEs revenues were driven by the newly released Waterlase iPlus all-tissue laser system. Taking in consideration that we started delivering the iPlus in quantity very late in the first quarter, giving us effectively nine months of deliveries, I feel that BIOLASEs ramp up is progressing successfully. More recently, in February at the Chicago Midwinter Dental Show, we launched our new Waterlase MDX line of all-tissue lasers. This is the technological evolution of our very successful Waterlase MD Turbo, with more than 4,200 units sold since 2006 when introduced. The MDX 300 and MDX 450 provide an alternative price point and laser performance in speed, making it ideal for specialists including endodontic, periodontic and pediatric dentists.
Approximately 69 percent of BIOLASEs revenues for the 2011 fourth quarter and 60 percent of revenues for fiscal year 2011 were from the sale of its all-tissue Waterlase systems, the vast majority of which have been the sales of the flagship Waterlase iPlus. Sales of BIOLASEs diode laser systems made up approximately 12 percent and 19 percent of total revenues during the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2011, respectively.
BIOLASEs turnaround through 2011 was quite an accomplishment and we are poised to continue that progress and momentum into 2012, said Pignatelli. We continue to expand our offerings of internally developed dental lasers and, as a distributor, of imaging devices while strengthening our intellectual property and patent portfolio in other areas of medicine, including ophthalmology, orthopedics, podiatry, aesthetics, and pain management.
On a GAAP basis, the net loss for the fourth quarter of 2011 totaled $2.0 million, or a loss of $0.06 per share, compared to net income of $174,000, or $0.01 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2010. After removing non-cash depreciation and amortization expenses of $133,000, and non-cash stock-based, equity instrument and non-cash compensation expense of $638,000, this years fourth quarter resulted in a non-GAAP net loss of $1.3 million, or a loss of $0.04 per share, compared with a non-GAAP net income of $869,000, or $0.04 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2010.
The Companys net loss for fiscal year 2011 totaled $4.5 million, or a loss of $0.15 per share, compared to a net loss of $12.0 million, or a loss of $0.47 per share, for the prior year. After removing interest expense of $305,000, non-cash depreciation and amortization expenses of $695,000, and non-cash stock-based, equity instrument and non-cash compensation expense of $2.1 million, the non-GAAP net loss for fiscal year 2011 was $1.4 million, or a loss of $0.05 per share, compared with a non-GAAP net loss of $9.8 million, or a loss of $0.38 per share, for fiscal year 2010, an improvement of 86 percent year over year.
The percentage of net revenue in the 2011 fourth quarter from the U.S. and international markets, including unit sales and consumables, totaled approximately 69 percent and 31 percent, respectively, as compared to approximately 74 percent and 26 percent of net revenue in the prior year comparable period. The breakdown of U.S. and international revenues for fiscal year 2011 totaled approximately 67 percent and 33 percent, respectively, compared to approximately 64 percent and 36 percent, respectively, for 2010.
Recent Highlights
A series of recent actions, developments and key accomplishments include the following:
| BIOLASE and Henry Schein entered into an agreement for BIOLASE to purchase, for an undisclosed but at what the Company believes is a very advantageous price, approximately 180 Waterlase MD Turbo laser systems, the remaining inventory of such lasers held by Henry Schein. The product sold to Henry Schein for the repayment of a liability during 2011 and 2010 is not a part of the repurchased equipment. The majority of the repurchased equipment is expected to be remanufactured into Waterlase MDX systems and some will be used as a source of parts to service the Companys large installed base of approximately 8,700 Waterlase systems. In connection with the agreement, Henry Schein will release all liens on BIOLASEs assets upon closing, as all obligations of repayment of the prepaid purchases were entirely fulfilled in the third quarter of 2011. |
| The introduction of the Waterlase MDX line of all-tissue lasers, the technological evolution of the highly successful Waterlase MD Turbo, expanding the Companys product offerings and complementing the flagship Waterlase iPlus. |
| BIOLASE and Cefla Dental Group, a leading European dental equipment manufacturer, entered into a definitive three-year agreement making BIOLASE a distributor of Ceflas NewTom Cone Beam 3D imaging products in the U.S. and Canada, thereby complementing the large family of BIOLASE DaVinci Imaging products. |
| The declaration of a one-half percent stock dividend payable on March 30, 2012 to stockholders of record on March 15, 2012, and the adoption of a two percent annual stock dividend policy by the Board of Directors for 2012. |
| The award of a new patent covering the architecture and techniques for treating an ocular or related tissue site utilizing laser energy to affect one or more physiological properties mitigating the effects of presbyopia and improving the way a person sees. |
| Receipt of regulatory approvals to sell the Waterlase iPlus throughout several international markets, including South Korea. |
For the 2011 fourth quarter, gross profit as a percentage of net revenue was 42 percent compared to 50 percent for the prior year comparable period. The gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2011 increased from 41 percent in the third quarter of 2011 primarily due to the higher volume of U.S. sales revenues during the quarter. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue for fiscal year 2011 was 44 percent compared to 34 percent for the prior year due primarily to higher sales volumes.
Operating expenses in fiscal year 2011 were $25.3 million compared to $20.3 million in the prior year. As a percentage of sales, operating expenses improved to 52 percent for fiscal year 2011 from 77 percent for the prior year.
As of December 31, 2011, cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately $3.3 million, accounts receivable totaled $8.9 million, and shareholders equity was $12.6 million.
The Companys revenue guidance for the first quarter of 2012 is approximately $11 million, an increase of approximately $3.3 million, or 43 percent, compared to the first quarter of 2011, after removing $2.9 million for the repayment of a liability in product to Henry Schein during the first quarter of 2011. The Companys revenue guidance for 2012 is $57 million to $60 million. Excluding equipment sales to Henry Schein for the repayment of a liability in product of approximately $5.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2011, the midpoint of this guidance of $58.5 million represents an increase of 36 percent.
