YOKNEAM, ISRAEL--(Marketwire - May 19, 2011) - Syneron Medical Ltd. (NASDAQ: ELOS), the leading global aesthetic device company, today announced first quarter 2011 financial results for the three month period ended March 31, 2011.
First Quarter 2011 Year-Over-Year Financial Highlights Include:
-- Revenue of $49.8 million, up 15.8% -- International revenue of $33.4 million, up 17.5% -- North America revenue of $16.4 million, up 12.6% -- Non-GAAP gross margin of 53.5%, up from 47.4% -- Non-GAAP net income of $0.2 million and non-GAAP EPS of $0.01, compared to a net loss of $4.9 million and a loss per share of $0.14 -- PAD segment non-GAAP operating income of $3.2 million, or 6.8% of revenue, compared to an operating loss of $4.7 million -- Cash and investments portfolio of $211.4 million at March 31, 2011
Louis P. Scafuri, Chief Executive Officer of Syneron, commented, "Total revenue in the first quarter grew 15.8% over the prior year, driven by the Company's innovative and clinically validated product portfolio, our broad geographical coverage, and record sales of consumables. Over the last several months, we have generated significant interest in our recent product introductions and have leveraged our presence at several of the largest aesthetic industry conferences to support these launches. We are particularly pleased with the early feedback from the initial U.S. launch of the elure™ Advanced Skin Lightning Technology and believe that its proven safety and efficacy profile gives it the potential to become the market leader for skin lightning products.
"During the quarter we announced the formation of a new subsidiary, Syneron Beauty, that is focused on products for the direct-to-consumer, home-use market. Within Syneron Beauty, sales of the me home-use hair removal system and the Tända™ family of home-use light therapy products tracked in-line with our expectations and we believe we are well positioned to continue gaining traction in this important segment of the market.
"In addition to the growth we experienced in the first quarter, we are also pleased with the recent ruling in Candela's patent litigation with Palomar Medical Technologies. The U.S. District Court in Massachusetts ruled that Candela does not infringe eleven of the twelve patent claims at issue, a significant victory for Candela. Yesterday, the judge set October 3, 2011 as our trial date and we feel confident that the single remaining Palomar claim will be defeated at trial once the facts are presented in Court."
Revenue: First quarter 2011 revenue was $49.8 million, an increase of 15.8% compared to $43.0 million in the first quarter 2010. International revenue in the first quarter 2011 was $33.4 million, an increase of 17.5% compared to $28.4 million in the first quarter 2010. First quarter 2011 revenue in North America was $16.4 million, an increase of 12.6% compared to $14.6 million in the first quarter 2010.

The significant improvement in operating income (loss) was primarily driven by: higher sales mix of Syneron products and consumables, which benefit from increased cross selling; higher production and sales volume; and operational efficiency and cost cutting measures implemented since the first quarter 2010.
Net Income (loss): First quarter 2011 net income was $0.2 million, compared to a net loss of $4.9 million in the first quarter 2010.
Earnings (loss) Per Share: First quarter 2011 earnings per share (basic and diluted) was $0.01, compared to a loss per share of $0.14 in the first quarter 2010.

The significant improvement in operating loss was primarily driven by: higher sales mix of Syneron products and consumables, which benefit from increased cross selling; higher production and sales volume; and operational efficiency and cost cutting measures implemented since the first quarter 2010.
Net Income (loss): First quarter 2011 net loss was $2.4 million, compared to a net loss of $22.5 million in the first quarter of 2010.

Cash Position: As of March 31, 2011, cash and cash equivalents, including short-term and long-term bank deposits and investments in marketable securities, were $211.4 million.
Asaf Alperovitz, Chief Financial Officer of Syneron, commented, "Our first quarter 2011 results in the PAD segment demonstrated a significant year-over-year improvement in margins that we believe is indicative of the potential leverage we can drive from the combined Syneron and Candela business. Our PAD revenue included sales from the initial launches of the ePrime™ Energy-Based Dermal Volumizer™ and CO2RE Fractional CO2 Resurfacing System."
Mr. Alperovitz added, "During the quarter we continued to invest in our Emerging Business Units, or EBU, including the U.S. launch activities for elure, the European launch of the me home-use hair removal system and the continued roll out of the Tända LED systems and Light Instruments' dental laser devices. While the costs associated with these activities reduced profitability in the quarter, we feel confident that these activities will drive long-term revenue growth and profitability as we are able to increase adoption of our EBU products. On a consolidated basis, while we will continue to invest in driving growth in the EBU segment, we expect growth in sales of higher margin products from both segments to continue to increase our overall profitability."

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
This press release provides financial measures for gross margin, net income (loss), net income (loss) per basic and diluted share, which exclude one-time expenses relating to the mergers with Candela Corporation and Primaeva Medical Inc, one-time income due to reversal of a deferred gain related to the merger with Candela Corporation, and an expense charge related to stock-based compensation and amortization and are therefore not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance because it reflects our operational results and enhances management's and investors' ability to evaluate the Company's gross margin, net loss and net loss per basic and diluted share. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP measures when evaluating the business internally and, therefore, felt it important to make these non-GAAP adjustments available to investors. A reconciliation of each GAAP to non-GAAP financial measure discussed in this press release is contained in the accompanying financial tables.
