BIOLASE Reports 2024 Second Quarter Results; Achieves 40% Gross Margin as Global Consumable Sales Strengthen

LAKE FOREST, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 8, 2024 / BIOLASE, Inc. (NASDAQ:BIOL), a leader in dental laser technology, today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

"We experienced another strong quarter in consumable revenue, recording our second-highest mark ever and achieving over 600 recurring subscriptions," commented John Beaver, President and Chief Executive Officer of BIOLASE. "This success translates to over $2 million in scheduled shipments over the next twelve months. Our gross margin increased to 40%, up from 33% in the first quarter of 2024, due to cost reduction efforts implemented earlier in the year. Despite ongoing revenue challenges due to higher interest rates, I believe our performance shows that we are well-positioned for greater gains once our market returns to normal and dental practitioners have the purchasing power they have historically been accustomed to in the past. The positive response to the U.S. launch of our Waterlase iPlus Premier laser system last quarter underscores the strong interest in our industry-leading products and our commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction."

Second Quarter Financial Results

Net revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, was $11.6 million compared to net revenue of $14.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. U.S. laser revenue was $3.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to U.S. laser revenue of $6.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. U.S. consumables and other revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, which consists of revenue from consumable products such as disposable tips, decreased 5% year over year. International laser revenue was $2.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to $2.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. International consumables and other revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, which consists of revenue from consumable products such as disposable tips, decreased 12% year over year.

Gross margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, was 40% compared to 43% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. Total operating expenses were $7.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to $10.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, a 22% decrease year over year. Operating loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, was $3.2 million, compared to an operating loss of $3.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, an improvement of 17% year over year.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $5.3 million on June 30, 2024.

Net Loss and Adjusted EBITDA

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.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, was $2.8 million, or $0.08 per share, compared to a net loss of $14.2 million, or $26.14 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, was a loss of $2.5 million, or $0.08 per share, compared with an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.3 million, or $4.24 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Full Year 2024 Financial Guidance

Based on six months of operating and financial results, current market uncertainty, as well as the outlook for the remainder of the year the Company is updating full-year 2024 financial guidance. The Company now expects 2024 full year revenue to be similar to that achieved in 2023, reflecting the headwinds the Company experienced in the first half of 2024 and a somewhat lower capital equipment revenue forecast for the last half of 2024.

The Company is also updating its Adjusted EBITDA expectations for the full year of 2024 based on the performance in the first half of 2024 to a loss of between $6 million and $8 million, an improvement over the full-year 2023 Adjusted EBITDA loss of $12.8 million (Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, severance expense, stock-based and other non-cash compensation, stock warrant issuance costs, gain or losses on warrants, and the change in inventory reserves and allowance for doubtful accounts).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, stock-based and other non-cash compensation, severance expense, change in allowance for doubtful accounts, increase in inventory reserves, stock warrant issuance costs, and loss on warrants. 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.
