PLEASANTON, CA--(Marketwired - May 05, 2015) -
- First quarter 2015 Adjusted EBITDA margin of 5.8% versus 15.0% loss in Q1 2014
- First quarter GAAP net loss of $2.1 million, or ($0.06) per share, compared to GAAP net loss of $7.3 million, or ($0.20) per share in Q1 2014
- Shipped 347 systems in Q1 2015 compared to 179 systems in Q1 2014, bringing total system installed base to 3,523 systems
- 207,287 revenue cycles shipped in Q1 2015, up 64% compared to Q1 2014
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 first quarter 2015.
Mark Foley, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We began the year with another strong quarter of execution on our strategic initiatives and maintaining our position as the market leader in the growing non-invasive fat reduction market. We delivered exceptional revenue growth in the first quarter with a 66% year-over-year increase, driven by very strong system placements, a record quarter for revenue cycles shipped and the strongest contribution from our international business to date. Further penetration into key international markets is a significant driver for our global expansion strategy and I am pleased with our early success. With the impressive results we continue to deliver both domestically and across our international markets, we are raising our full year 2015 revenue guidance to the range of $235 million to $238 million which includes an approximate $2 million negative impact related to currency headwinds.”
Mr. Foley continued, “During the first quarter, we began to leverage the innovation of our controlled cooling technology through our R&D efforts, further establishing our leadership position in the market. In January, we launched our next generation CoolSmooth PRO™ applicator which incorporates use of our recent FDA clearance for treatments at colder temperatures. This enhanced version of our original CoolSmooth™ applicator will have reduced treatment and set-up times that should create a better overall patient experience. Early demand since its launch has been tremendous with nearly 1,000 already pre-sold prior to commencement of shipping last week. We expect to expand the innovative R&D work done on colder temperatures across other applicators as we move into 2016. The much anticipated launch of our CoolMini™ applicator for smaller fat pockets and the submental area, or chin fat, remains on track for a fourth quarter 2015 clearance with enrollment fully complete and final follow-ups finishing up in the next two weeks.”
Mr. Foley concluded, “Finally, we held the grand opening of our CoolSculpting University East Coast Training Center which was overwhelmingly successful and generated outstanding physician customer feedback. We received the following feedback from Susan Hughes, M.D., of Cherry Hill, New Jersey, ‘This course blew me away. As a cosmetic surgical M.D., I was very skeptical about really needing to attend this course and giving up 2 days of my practice during the week. I got tired of my staff who previously attended knowing more than I did. After attending this great training course, I now understand Treatment to Transformation very well. The marketing and commitment of ZELTIQ to help promote this technology is commendable and appreciated. I’m upset that I didn’t come sooner!’. We are very pleased with the positive impact CoolSculpting University is having on our customers and our CoolSculpting business and expect this dual-coast approach to further drive improved outcomes and increase practice revenues.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
ZELTIQ has supplemented its GAAP net income (loss) with a non-GAAP measure of Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding the performance of ZELTIQ, and provides an additional meaningful comparison of results for current periods with previous operating results, and assists management in analyzing future trends, making strategic and business decisions and establishing internal budgets and forecasts. A reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss) in the most directly comparable GAAP measure is provided in the schedule below.
There are limitations in using this non-GAAP financial measure because it is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. Investors and potential investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures only in conjunction with the ZELTIQ’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measure provided in the schedule below.

About ZELTIQ® Aesthetics
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 bulges. 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.
