IRVINE, Calif., May 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- BIOLASE, Inc. BIOL, the global leader in dental lasers, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020.

"Our go-to-market strategy was demonstrating meaningful progress prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, reflecting the changes we made throughout 2019 to better align our business and operating infrastructure," said Todd Norbe, President and Chief Executive Officer.  "However, we  had to adjust our operations in response to the closure of most dental offices during the second half of the quarter, and this business disruption had a significant negative impact on our financial results, as we sold a limited number of lasers in March, which is historically our strongest month of the quarter.  In an effort to maintain our presence with key constituencies to preserve these revenue opportunities, we quickly pivoted to increasing the number of online educational forums to showcase our industry-leading products, which have been extremely well attended.  Based on the enthusiasm and positive feedback received, we are hopeful that these educational events will result in additional sales leads that we can capitalize on once dentists resume their normal business practices.

"Additionally, we recently announced a partnership with an intensive care unit (ICU) equipment manufacturer to supply ICU-grade portable ventilators through BIOLASE's FDA-registered manufacturing facility. We have experienced a steady rate of activity and to date we have received over $14 million in orders."

2020 First Quarter Financial Results

Net revenue for the first quarter of 2020 was $4.7 million, a decrease of 54%, compared to net revenue of $10.3 million for first quarter of 2019. U.S. laser revenue was $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2020, a 62% decrease compared to U.S. laser revenue of $2.6 million for the first quarter of 2019. U.S. consumables and other revenue for the first quarter of 2020, which consists of revenue from consumable products such as disposable tips, decreased 28% compared to the first quarter of 2019. Outside the U.S., laser revenue declined 68% to $1.1 million for the first quarter of 2020 compared to $3.4 million for the first quarter of 2019 and consumables and other revenue decreased 28% year over year.

Gross margin for the first quarter of 2020 was 28%, compared to 34% for first quarter of 2019. The lower gross margin reflects the impact of the decline in revenues relative to our fixed costs. Total operating expenses were $6.7 million for the first quarter of 2020 compared to $7.9 million for the first quarter of 2019, a decrease of over 15%. Operating loss for the first quarter of 2020, was $5.4 million, compared to an operating loss of $4.4 million in the first quarter of 2019, an increase of 23% year over year. Net loss for the first quarter of 2020 was $6.0 million, or $0.19 per share, compared to a net loss of $4.9 million, or $0.23 per share, for the first quarter of 2019.

Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash totaled $1.8 million as of March 31, 2020.

After the end of the first quarter, BIOLASE applied for and received a $3.0 million loan from the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"). The PPP was initiated to help small businesses defined as those businesses in the US with under 500 employees. BIOLASE has approximately 150 employees and is well under the 500 employee defined maximum. In addition, BIOLASE believes the PPP was intended to help small businesses like BIOLASE mitigate the impact of significant lost business during the COVID-19 economic shutdown and to help keep as many people employed as possible. Given the existing market environment, BIOLASE did not believe that it could access public equity markets to raise cash to help make up for the significant lost revenue BIOLASE experienced during the first quarter of 2020 and likely to continue into the second quarter of 2020.

Additionally, both BIOLASE's President and Chief Executive Office and Chief Financial Officer took temporary 40% salary cuts in connection with COVID-19 cost reduction measures.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

The Reconciliation of GAAP Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA at the end of this news release provides the details of the Company's non-GAAP disclosures and the reconciliation of GAAP net loss and net loss per share to the Company's Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per share.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2020 was $3.6 million, or $0.11 per share, compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $3.2 million, or $0.15 per share, for the first quarter of 2019.

Non-GAAP Disclosure

In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("GAAP"), this press release includes certain historical non-GAAP financial information. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures assist investors in making comparisons of period-to-period operating results and that, in some respects, these non-GAAP financial measures are more indicative of the Company's ongoing core operating performance than their GAAP equivalents. In 2019, the Company revised its non-GAAP financial measures to include the change in allowance for doubtful accounts in an effort to better align its Adjusted EBITDA with its loan covenants and how management evaluates business performance.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, change in fair value of patent litigation settlement liability, and allowance for doubtful accounts. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA in its evaluation of the Company's core results of operations and trends between fiscal periods and believes that these measures are important components of its internal performance measurement process. Therefore, investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, the non-GAAP financial measures presented by the Company may be different from similarly named non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
