STAAR SURGICAL REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2024 RESULTS

Net Sales Up 10% to $88.6 Million Driven by Growth in All Regions

Americas Up 14%, EMEA Up 12% and APAC Up 9%

Market Building Initiatives Drive EVO ICL™ Uptake and Reinforce Opportunity

STAAR Surgical Company (NASDAQ: STAA), a leading developer, manufacturer and marketer of the EVO family of Implantable Collamer® Lenses (EVO ICL™) for myopia, astigmatism and presbyopia, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 27, 2024.

Third Quarter 2024 Overview

  • Net sales of $88.6 million, up 10% from prior year quarter
  • ICL sales of $89.1 million, up 10% from prior year quarter
  • Gross margin of 77.3% as compared to 79.2% year ago
  • Net income of $10.0 million or $0.20 per share, up from $4.8 million or $0.10 per share year ago
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $16.2 million or $0.33 per share as compared to $16.5 million or $0.33 per share year ago
  • $236.0 million of cash, cash equivalents and investments available for sale as of September 27, 2024

“In the third quarter, we achieved double-digit sales growth against a macroeconomic environment that softened in the second half of the quarter, particularly in China,” said Tom Frinzi, President and CEO of STAAR Surgical. “STAAR is well positioned to navigate through the current market dynamics, which we believe are transitory. Looking ahead, we are encouraged by the recent shift in fiscal policy and announced stimulus in China and will continue to closely monitor the potential impact on our near to midterm growth outlook.”

Mr. Frinzi concluded, “Our focus on customer engagement and market expansion continues to yield solid results, helping drive industry-leading growth and market share gains. As our surgeon customers perform more EVO procedures, they are increasingly using our technology for moderate myopia, which underscores EVO ICL as the treatment choice for -6D and above and expands our total addressable market.”

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Net sales were $88.6 million for the third quarter of 2024, up 10% from $80.3 million reported in the prior year quarter. This sales increase was driven by ICL sales growth of $8.0 million, up 10%, and unit growth of 6% from the prior year period. Other Product sales declined $0.2 million from the prior year period. Changes in currency, primarily the Japanese Yen, negatively impacted reported total net sales by $0.3 million for the third quarter of 2024.

Gross profit margin for the third quarter of 2024 was 77.3% of net sales as compared to the prior year quarter of 79.2% of net sales. Gross margin in the third quarter was lower primarily due to reduced unit production that resulted in less absorption of fixed overhead.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2024 were $62.8 million, up from the prior year quarter of $57.3 million. General and administrative expenses were $21.7 million, up from $19.3 million in the prior year quarter, driven primarily by increased facility costs and compensation-related expenses. Selling and marketing expenses were $26.6 million – consistent with the prior year quarter. Research and development expenses were $14.5 million, up from the prior year quarter of $11.5 million, primarily due to purchases of in-process research and development, as well as compensation-related expenses, which were partially offset by lower clinical trial costs.

Operating income for the third quarter of 2024 was $5.7 million or 6.4% of net sales as compared to operating income of $6.3 million or 7.8% of net sales for the third quarter of 2023.

Net income for the third quarter of 2024 was $10.0 million or $0.20 income per share, up from $4.8 million or $0.10 income per share for the prior year quarter. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to a gain on foreign currency transactions.

As of September 27, 2024, cash, cash equivalents and investments available for sale totaled $236.0 million, up from $232.4 million on December 29, 2023.

Outlook

The Company maintained its prior outlook for fiscal year 2024 net sales and Adjusted EBITDA.

  • Net sales of $340 million to $345 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $42 million and Adjusted EBITDA per diluted share of approximately $0.80.

The outlook above contemplates EVO ICL sales growth of 17% in the Americas (prior outlook was 15%) including 20% in the U.S. (prior outlook was 25%); EMEA sales growth of 10% (prior outlook was 6%); and APAC sales growth of 5% (prior outlook was 7%), including approximately 2% growth in China (prior outlook was 10%) and all other APAC countries approximately 10-20% growth (prior outlook was flat).

Earnings Webcast

The Company will host an earnings webcast today, Wednesday, October 30 at 4:30 p.m. Eastern / 1:30 p.m. Pacific to discuss its financial results and operational progress. To access the webcast please use the following link: https://event.choruscall.com/mediaframe/webcast.html?webcastid=fmU0YbKB.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company’s financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying tables include certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its evaluation of Company operating performance and believes investors will find them useful in evaluating the Company’s operating performance, including cash flow generation, and in analyzing period-to-period financial performance of core business operations and underlying business trends. Non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to, not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is calculated by adding interest income and expense, net; provision for income taxes; and depreciation and amortization to net income. In calculating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per diluted share, the Company further adjusts for stock-based compensation expense. As stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense that can vary significantly based on the timing, size and nature of awards granted, the Company believes that the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense can assist investors in comparisons of Company operating results with other peer companies because (i) the amount of such expense in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations and (ii) such expense can vary significantly between periods as a result of the timing of grants of new stock-based awards, including inducement grants in connection with hiring. Additionally, the Company believes that excluding stock-based compensation from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per diluted share assists management and investors in making meaningful comparisons between the Company’s operating performance and the operating performance of other companies that may use different forms of employee compensation or different valuation methodologies for their stock-based compensation. Investors should note that stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to employees whose efforts contributed to the operating results in the periods presented and are expected to contribute to operating results in future periods. Investors should also note that such expenses will recur in the future.

The Company also presents certain financial information on a constant currency basis, which is intended to exclude the effects of foreign currency fluctuations. The Company conducts a significant part of its activities outside the U.S. It receives sales revenue and pays expenses principally in U.S. dollars, Swiss francs, Japanese yen and euros. The exchange rates between dollars and non-U.S. currencies can fluctuate greatly and can have a significant effect on the Company’s results when reported in U.S. dollars. In order to compare the Company's performance from period to period without the effect of currency, the Company will apply the same average exchange rate applicable in the prior period, or the “constant currency” rate to sales or expenses in the current period as well.

In the tables provided below, the Company has included a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per diluted share to net income and net income per diluted share, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as supplemental financial information with net sales expressed in constant currency. The Company has also provided a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per diluted share to net income and net income per diluted share. This represents forward-looking information, and actual results may vary. Please see the risks and assumptions referred to in the Safe Harbor section of this press release.
