Cynosure Reports First-Quarter 2014 Financial Results

Board of Directors Increases Share Repurchase Program to $35 Million

Westford, MA – May 6, 2014 – Cynosure, Inc. (Nasdaq: CYNO), which develops and markets laser- and light-based aesthetic treatment systems for high-volume applications, today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2014. First-quarter 2014 financial results incorporate the acquisition of Palomar Medical Technologies, which was completed in June 2013.

First-Quarter 2014 Financial Highlights

“Total laser revenue rose 46% to $49.7 million in the first quarter from $34.1 million in the same period of 2013,” said Michael Davin, Cynosure’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “This increase primarily reflected our June acquisition of Palomar and the continued success of PicoSure™, our new flagship workstation for the removal of tattoos and benign pigmented lesions, as well as year-over-year growth from our direct subsidiaries in Asia and Europe.”

International markets accounted for 57% of total laser revenue for the first quarter of 2014, compared with 52% for the comparable period of 2013, while laser revenue from North America accounted for 43% of the total compared with 48% in the 2013 period.

“In North America, the quarter started slowly and picked up in March,” Davin said. “Although we ended 2013 short of our North American target number of sales personnel, during the quarter we successfully added nine reps and managers as we continue to focus on the growth of our direct distribution channel.”

Palomar Integration on Track

“The remaining steps in the integration of Palomar are nearing completion, and we’re on track to exceed the planned $8 million to $10 million in transaction synergies,” Davin said. “Excluding transaction costs and amortization expenses, our gross margin improved in the first quarter of 2014 over the same period last year. By the end of June we expect to fully transition the Palomar product line to our contract manufacturing model and complete the expansion of our Westford facility. These initiatives are expected to further contribute to the improved operating leverage as a result of the acquisition.”

Board Increases Share Repurchase Program to $35 Million

Cynosure also announces that its Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $10 million of the Company’s common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, bringing the total authorized to repurchase up to $35 million. Following this increase, approximately $19.6 million remains available to repurchase shares under the program.

The timing and amount of any shares repurchased will be determined by the Company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. Repurchases may also be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which would permit shares to be repurchased when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws. The repurchase program, which is the only repurchase program currently maintained by the Company, may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Any repurchased shares will be available for use in connection with its stock plans and for other corporate purposes. The share repurchase program, which is being funded using the Company’s working capital, expires on November 1, 2015.

Business Outlook

“With a broad distribution network, comprehensive product and technology offerings and strong balance sheet, we believe we are well positioned to expand our leadership in the aesthetic laser market,” Davin said. “In the quarters ahead, we expect to continue to broaden our reach by pursuing additional international regulatory clearances for current treatment indications cleared in the United States and FDA clearances for new treatment indications for our products.”

The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release exclude costs associated with the acquisition of Palomar and amortization of intangible assets acquired, for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
