IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- BIOLASE, Inc. (NASDAQ:BIOL), the global leader in dental lasers, today reported its financial results for its second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2017.

Waterlase Express™ placements continued to ramp up following its February launch; however, overall revenue fell short of internal expectations and declined when compared to the 2016 second quarter. This was due in part to nearly $400,000 of OEM imaging backorders at quarter’s end, a year-over-year decline in current customer upgrade revenue and a lower price point for Waterlase Express. Last year’s second quarter also included a large shipment of Epic lasers to a Dental Service Organization (DSO) which did not repeat this year. Second quarter 2017 revenue increased 16% from $10.9 million in this year’s first quarter.

2017 Second Quarter key metrics with comparisons to 2016 Second Quarter include:

  • Worldwide revenue declined 9% to $12.6 million, which included a 9% decline in the U.S. and an 8% decline internationally, driven by slower laser systems sales
    • Worldwide Waterlase® revenue declined 18%, driven by a 31% decline in the U.S., partially offset by a 6% improvement internationally
    • The international improvement was driven by a 34% increase in Waterlase placements propelled by the launch of Waterlase Express
    • Waterlase Express placements in the U.S. during the second quarter increased from this year’s first quarter
    • Quarterly average selling price of flagship Waterlase® iPlus™ continued to improve
    • Worldwide imaging systems revenue increased 39%, despite an OEM supplier backorder
    • Worldwide consumables and other revenue increased 19%
    • Worldwide services revenue increased 2%
  • Restructured the sales team, including the initiation of an enhanced training and development program for field-based sales leaders and each U.S. sales representative
  • Successfully completed a $10.5 million private placement in April
  • In August 2017, further streamlined operations, reducing payroll-related and consulting-related expenses by approximately $2.5 million on an annualized basis and reducing planned discretionary spending for the remainder of 2017 and 2018

President and CEO Harold C. Flynn, Jr. said, “Clearly, revenue in this year’s second quarter was not what we had planned, even in light of previous commentary regarding ‘unevenness.’ Last year’s second quarter revenue growth was strong, bolstered by current customer upgrades and a large shipment of Epic lasers to a DSO. That makes it a difficult year-over-year comparison, but that is no excuse as our expectation was for a higher ramp of sales of new products to compensate. As noted earlier, we have taken immediate steps to strengthen and reorganize our sales organization. We need to get much better at selling the value of our laser technology as a solution that effectively addresses the everyday challenges of modern dentistry. Not only does our expanded portfolio of laser dentistry solutions provide better outcomes for the patient, but it also helps dentists build a sustainable and thriving practice with higher efficiency and production. We have also taken steps necessary to cut our operating costs to get to cash flow breakeven sooner and lower the quarterly revenue required to do so.

“While we are not satisfied with the steepness, I am pleased that we saw a positive ramp in sales and individual customer reception of the Waterlase Express laser and that it continued to facilitate conversations that resulted in upselling to additional flagship Waterlase iPlus systems,” Flynn added. “It’s a brilliant example of a laser technology solution that is winning us new customers and newcomers to laser dentistry. We believe Waterlase Express is the simplest and most elegant laser tool ever designed for dentistry and a great example of our product innovation capabilities.

“We know what we need to do, and we are getting after it. Our technology continues to prove its value case-by-case, practice-by-practice, but we must generate higher demand, better convey the value more broadly and educate the clinicians. We are convinced we will be successful transforming BIOLASE into a growing and profitable enterprise. While it will take some time, we have a great sense of urgency to accelerate our progress.”

2017 Second Quarter Financial Results

Net Revenue. Net revenue for the second quarter of 2017 was $12.6 million, as compared to net revenue of $13.8 million for the second quarter of 2016. The quarter-over-quarter decrease of 9% was driven by decreases in worldwide laser systems sales and license fees and royalty revenue, partially offset by increased worldwide imaging revenue, consumables and other revenue, and services revenue.

Net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $23.5 million, as compared to net revenue of $24.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The year-over-year decrease of 5% was driven by decreases in worldwide laser systems sales and license fees and royalty revenue, partially offset by increased worldwide imaging revenue, consumables and other revenue, and services revenue.

Gross Profit. Gross profit typically fluctuates with product and regional mix, selling prices, product costs and revenue levels. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the second quarter of 2017 was 37%, as compared to 41% in the second quarter of 2016. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was 37%, as compared to 38% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The declines in gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the second quarter and first half of 2017, as compared to the second quarter and first half of 2016, reflected an increase in imaging revenue, which typically has lower product distribution margins, as well as a change in international product mix.

Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2017 were $9.2 million, as compared to $9.0 million for the second quarter of 2016. Within operating expenses, sales and marketing expenses increased by $46,000, primarily due to higher convention related expenses, and general and administrative expenses increased by $185,000, primarily due to increased provision for doubtful accounts. These increases were partially offset by a $90,000 decrease in engineering and development expenses, primarily due to a decrease in payroll and consulting related expenses.

Total operating expenses for the first half of 2017 were $17.2 million, as compared to $17.0 million for the first half of 2016. Within operating expenses, sales and marketing expenses increased by $426,000, primarily due to higher convention related and media, advertising, and printing expenses, and general and administrative expenses increased by $334,000, primarily due to increased patent fees and increased payroll and consulting-related expenses. These increases were partially offset by a $547,000 decrease in engineering and development expenses, primarily due to a decrease in payroll and consulting related expenses and operating supplies.

Net Loss and Net loss per share attributable to common shareholders. Net loss for the second quarter of 2017 was $4.3 million, or a $0.06 loss per share, compared to a net loss of $3.5 million, or a $0.06 loss per share, for the second quarter of 2016. Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2017, which includes a deemed dividend on convertible preferred stock of $4.0 million, was $8.3 million, or a $0.12 loss per share, as compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $3.5 million, or a $0.06 loss per share, for the second quarter of 2016. The increase in net loss was primarily attributable to a $952,000 reduction in gross profit and a $141,000 increase in total operating expenses, partially offset by a $343,000 increase in gain on foreign currency transactions. After adding back net interest income of $10,000, removing the income tax provision of $36,000, removing the non-cash depreciation and amortization expenses of $287,000 and removing the non-cash stock-based compensation of $761,000, the non-GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2017 totaled $3.2 million, or a loss of $0.06 per share, compared with a non-GAAP net loss of $2.3 million, or a loss of $0.04 per share, during the second quarter of 2016.

Net loss for the first half of 2017 was $8.4 million, or a $0.12 loss per share, as compared to a net loss of $7.8 million, or a $0.13 loss per share, for the first half of 2016. Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the first half of 2017, which includes a deemed dividend on convertible preferred stock of $4.0 million, was $12.4 million, or an $0.18 loss per share, as compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $7.8 million, or a $0.13 loss per share, for the first half of 2016. The $599,000 increase in net loss was due to a $643,000 reduction in gross profit and a $213,000 increase in total operating expenses, partially offset by a $271,000 increase in gain on foreign currency transactions. After adding back net interest income of $19,000, removing the income tax provision of $76,000, removing the non-cash depreciation and amortization expenses of $577,000 and removing the non-cash stock-based compensation of $1.1 million, the non-GAAP net loss for the first half of 2017 totaled $6.6 million, or a loss of $0.10 per share, compared with a non-GAAP net loss of $5.5 million, or a loss of $0.10 per share, for the first half of 2016.

Non-GAAP Disclosure

In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“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.

Non-GAAP net loss is defined as net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation. Management uses non-GAAP net loss 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.
