Record Revenue of $10.6 Million in Quarter

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Feb. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- IRIDEX Corporation IRIX today reported financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 28, 2013. 

  • Revenues were $10.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, up 15% from $9.2 million in the prior year comparable period and up sequentially from $9.5 million in the third quarter of 2013.
  • Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2013 was 48.6%, up from 47.0% in the prior year period and down from 49.6% reported in the 2013 third quarter.
  • For the fourth quarter of 2013, operating income was $0.6 million compared with an operating income of $0.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2012.
  • Net income from continuing operations was $0.4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to a net income from continuing operations of $0.3 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2012.
  • Guidance for first quarter of 2014: The Company expects to achieve revenue between $9.8 million and $10.1 million, representing growth of between 9% and 13% over the prior year period. Gross margin is anticipated to come in between 48% and 50%, operating expenses between $4.3 million and $4.5 million, and the Company anticipates generating operating income.

President and CEO Will Moore said, "We saw strong sales in the fourth quarter, exceeding our revenue guidance. The trend of stronger system sales continued in the quarter as buying patterns trend up in the US, Micropulse™ adoption steadily improves, our recently launched TxCell™ pattern scanning delivery device has been met with strong demand and we continue to be successful in international tenders."

"After finishing 2013 on a very strong note, we think 2014 will show these trends continuing and you will see us focus on bringing our Glaucoma product offerings to the forefront. We see the glaucoma market as one that we can penetrate using both MicroPulse technology for MLT procedures to drive system sales and we are developing a family of consumable products that can further improve patient outcomes. These steps will further enhance the IRIDEX brand and business model and consequently increase shareholder value," continued Moore. 

Revenues for 2013 were $38.3 million, up 13% from $33.9 million in 2012. Operating income for 2013 was $2.6 million, up $3.5 million from an operating loss of $0.9 million in 2012. Net income from continuing operations for 2013 was $2.2 million compared to a loss from continuing operations of $0.2 million for 2012, or earnings of $0.22 per diluted share compared to a loss of $0.02 per share on a diluted basis.

During the fourth quarter 2013, the Company continued to execute its share repurchase program buying approximately 38,000 shares at an average price of $6.03. The original $3.0 million repurchase plan approved in February 2013 was for one year. Today the Board approved extending the plan for an additional year and $2.6 million remains available for stock repurchases.
