Pleasanton, CA., October 30, 2013 – ZELTIQ® (Nasdaq: ZLTQ), a medical technology company focused on developing and commercializing products utilizing its proprietary controlled-cooling technology platform, today announced financial results for the third quarter 2013.

Mark Foley, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our outstanding Q3 performance resulted from a growing leadership position in the market along with the continued execution of our sales team in the large and underpenetrated non-invasive, fat reduction market. We had our second highest system placement quarter to-date and our highest system placement quarter, ever, in our North America market. Our continued efforts to drive utilization were further evidenced in two new practice partnering initiatives that we launched in the quarter – CoolSculpting University and CoolConnect™. The ZELTIQ Training Center, which is the home of our CoolSculpting University training program, and CoolConnect™, which is our connectivity and data management product, have both received very positive reviews from our customers. Our focus on outstanding patient outcomes continues to gain momentum through our Treatment to Transformation clinical protocol and we are very pleased with the progress we are making on our various programs.”

Mr. Foley continued, “Based on our strong third quarter results and year-to-date performance, we have increased confidence in our business and have raised our full year revenue guidance to approximately 40% year-over-year growth, up from 20%. As we look ahead, we are excited about the long-term market opportunity and believe we have the right people, technology and tools in place for continued revenue growth.”

About ZELTIQ®

ZELTIQ is a medical technology company focused on developing and commercializing products utilizing its proprietary controlled-cooling technology platform. ZELTIQ’s first commercial product, the CoolSculpting System, is designed to selectively reduce stubborn fat 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. It utilizes 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. ZELTIQ developed CoolSculpting to safely, noticeably, and measurably reduce the fat layer.
