MONROVIA, CA, April 28, 2014---STAAR Surgical Company (NASDAQ: STAA) a leading developer, manufacturer and marketer of implantable lenses and delivery systems for the eye today reported revenue for the first quarter ended April 4, 2014 of $20.2 million, a 12% increase over $18.0 million reported for the first quarter of 2013. On a constant currency basis, revenues grew 15% during the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013. The effect of foreign currency exchange reduced sales by $0.6 million during the quarter. The results included record quarterly sales of $12.2 million of the Company’s Visian ICL product portfolio, and $6.6 million of its IOL products. Lower margin Other Product sales were $1.3 million, a 29% increase compared to the first quarter of 2013.

“We are off to a very good start in 2014 with revenue growth of 12% and 15% growth in constant currency, which was driven by both ICL and IOL new product sales,” said Barry Caldwell, President and CEO. “Visian ICL growth continues to be fueled by the expansion and penetration of the ICL with CentraFLOW® technology, which makes the procedure more convenient and cost effective for both the patient and the surgeon. The CentraFLOW technology drove a revenue increase of 27% in our EMEA region with deeper penetration in Europe and expansion to our Latin America markets. CentraFLOW helped to drive a 17% revenue increase in our APAC region as we increased penetration in both Korea and India. Global ICL revenue growth was 15% in the quarter and procedure growth was 14%. We continue to gain market share globally as LASIK procedures remain under downward pressure.”

“IOL revenue increased by 4% during the quarter, or a 12% increase in constant currency. This growth was driven by the expansion of our KS-IOL products in the European markets and growth of preloaded silicone IOL sales in Japan. IOL revenue in Japan increased 23% in local currency (2% growth as reported) and units increased 22%. IOL revenue increased by 64% in Europe while units increased 59%. Increased supply of the KS-IOL products allowed us to grow revenue in our European markets and start to return consignment account levels in Japan to where they were a year ago. We now feel more confident about our supply levels for the rest of the year,” continued Mr. Caldwell.

“As previously discussed, our expenses related to the FDA Panel Advisory meeting were expected to be higher during the quarter as a result of the postponement of the February 14th panel meeting due to weather and the re-scheduling to March 14th. These costs associated with the Advisory meeting were nearly double our original forecast and led to the GAAP net loss for the quarter,” concluded Mr. Caldwell.

Gross profit margin for the quarter was 68.8% compared to 70.3% in the first quarter of 2013. The transition of production of ICL’s from Switzerland to the U.S. had a negative impact on gross margins of approximately 140 bps. The increase of sales of low margin IOL injectors to a third party manufacturer had a negative impact on gross margin of approximately 90 basis points. Overall average selling price on IOLs declined based upon the geographic distribution of sales, although each market increased price. This had a negative 77 basis point impact. Increased average prices on ICLs had a positive impact on gross margin which should continue and expand during the year.

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2014 were $15.2 million, up 32% from $11.6 million in the prior year. This includes a $2.1 million increase in R&D expenses driven by the cost of the FDA Advisory Panel meetings, which was $1.4 million in the quarter. Investments in Sales and Marketing increased by $0.9 million which includes cost related to the expansion of the U.S. sales team in anticipation of the potential launch of the TICL and increased promotional spending. General and Administrative expenses increased by $1.4 million primarily due to compensation and recruiting costs.

The income tax provision was $219,000 during the first quarter of 2014 compared to a provision of $314,000 during the first quarter of 2013. This tax provision partially benefited by the increased production in the U.S. of products previously produced outside the U.S. Based upon current projections the Company expects the effective tax rate for the year will be approximately 30%.

The GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2014 was $1.4 million or $0.04 on a per diluted share basis, compared with a net income of $471,000, or $0.01 on a per diluted share basis, in the first quarter of 2013. Adjusted net income (excluding manufacturing consolidation expenses, distribution transition expenses in Spain, gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions, fair value adjustment of warrants, stock-based compensation expense and Toric ICL FDA panel expenses) for the quarter ended April 4, 2014 was $1.6 million, or $0.04 per share versus adjusted net income for the year ago quarter of $3.2 million, or $0.08 per diluted share.

Cash and cash equivalents at April 4, 2014 totaled $21 million. During the quarter, the Company used $2.6 million in cash for operating activities including: $1.1 million for ICL inventory build related to consolidation and planned launch of the TICL in the U.S., $1.0 million for FDA panel costs.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes supplemental non-GAAP financial information, which STAAR believes investors will find helpful in understanding its operating performance.

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 our results when reported in U.S. dollars. When preparing its financial statements in conformance with GAAP, the Company translates foreign currency sales and expenses denominated in Japanese yen to dollars at the weighted average of exchange rates in effect during the period. As a result, the Company's reported performance may be significantly affected by currency fluctuations. 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. Because changes in currency are outside of the control of the Company and its managers, management finds this non-GAAP measure useful in determining the long term progress of its initiatives and determining whether its managers are achieving their performance goals. The Company believes that the non-GAAP constant-currency sales results measures provided in this press release are similarly useful to investors to give insight on long term trends in the Company's performance without the external effect of changes in relative currency values. The table below shows sales results calculated in accordance with GAAP, the effect of currency, and the resulting non-GAAP measure expressed in constant currency.

“Adjusted Net Income” excludes the following items that are included in “Net Income” as calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”): manufacturing consolidation expenses, Spain distribution transition expenses, gain or loss on foreign currency transactions, the fair value adjustment of outstanding warrants issued in 2007, and stock-based compensation expenses.

Management believes that “Adjusted Net Income” is useful to investors in gauging the outcome of the key drivers of the business performance: the ability to increase sales revenue and our ability to increase profit margin by improving the mix of high value products while reducing the costs over which management has control, and FDA TICL Panel expense.

We have excluded manufacturing consolidation, Spain distribution transition expenses, and FDA Toric ICL panel expenses because these are non-recurring expenses and their inclusion may mask underlying trends in our business performance. Expenses associated with the Company’s plans to consolidate its manufacturing operations to the U.S. are largely expected to be completed by the middle of 2014 and the Spain distribution transition expenses were completed at the end of the first quarter of 2013.

We have excluded gains and losses on foreign currency transactions and the fair value adjustment of warrants because of the significant fluctuations that can result from period to period as a result of market driven factors.

Stock-based compensation expenses consist of expenses for stock options and restricted stock under the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718. In calculating Adjusted Net Income STAAR excludes these expenses and the fair value adjustment of outstanding warrants because they are non-cash expenses and because of the complexity and considerable judgment involved in calculating their values. In addition, these expenses tend to be driven by fluctuations in the price of our stock and not by the same factors that generally affect our other business expenses.

We have provided below a detailed reconciliation table, which is useful to investors in providing the context to understand our Adjusted Net Income and how it differs from Net Income calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Safe Harbor

All statements in this press release that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements, including statements about any of the following: any projections of earnings, revenue, sales, profit margins, cash, effective tax rate or any other financial items; the plans, strategies, and objectives of management for future operations or prospects for achieving such plans; metrics for 2014; statements regarding new or improved products, including but not limited to, expectations for success of new or improved products in the U.S. or international markets or government approval of new or improved products (including the Toric ICL in the U.S.); future economic conditions or size of market opportunities; expected IOL backorder position; expected costs of Monrovia facility expansion; expected costs and savings from business consolidation plans and the timetable for those plans; statements of belief, including as to achieving 2014 growth plans or metrics; expected regulatory activities and approvals, product launches, and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Important additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements are set forth in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 2014, under the caption “Risk Factors,” which is on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available in the “Investor Information” section of the company’s website under the heading “SEC Filings.”

These statements are based on expectations and assumptions as of the date of this press release and are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties include the following: our limited capital resources and limited access to financing; the negative effect of unstable global economic conditions on sales of products, especially products such as the ICL used in non-reimbursed elective procedures; the challenge of managing our foreign subsidiaries; backlog or supply delays as we prepare for our manufacturing facility consolidation; the risk of unfavorable changes in currency exchange rate; the discretion of regulatory agencies to approve or reject new or improved products, or to require additional actions before approval (including but not limited to FDA requirements regarding the TICL); unexpected costs or delays that could reduce or eliminate the expected benefits of our consolidation plans; the risk that research and development efforts will not be successful or may be delayed in delivering for launch; the purchasing patterns of our distributors carrying inventory in the market; the willingness of surgeons and patients to adopt a new or improved product and procedure; patterns of Visian ICL use that have typically limited our penetration of the refractive procedure market, and a general decline in the demand for refractive surgery particularly in the U.S. and the Asia Pacific region, which STAAR believes has resulted from both concerns about the safety and effectiveness of laser procedures and current economic conditions. The Visian Toric ICL and the Visian ICL with CentraFLOW are not yet approved for sale in the United States.
