    MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Aug. 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Iridex Corporation (Nasdaq: IRIX) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended July 3, 2021.

    • Gross profit of $6.1 million, also a 14-year quarterly high, on gross margin of 45.5%
    • Cyclo G6® product family revenue of $3.6 million, an increase of 70% year-over-year
      • Record 16,000 Cyclo G6 probes sold, a 103% year-over-year increase
    • 47 Cyclo G6 Glaucoma Laser Systems sold, compared to 42 in the prior year period
    • Retina product revenue nearly tripled year-over-year to $7.6 million
      • 28% of revenue from PASCAL® products acquired from Topcon
    • Cash usage of $1.7 million leading to cash at quarter-end of $26.3 million
      • Paycheck Protection Program loan forgiveness of $2.5 million contributed to net income of $1.4 million

    “Sales records this quarter demonstrate that Iridex is achieving new highs of performance, and we’re proud of the results our team has delivered,” said David I. Bruce, President and CEO of Iridex. “The measures we implemented more than a year ago to secure our business during the pandemic have enabled us to emerge even stronger today. We saw strength in both our glaucoma and retina markets, demonstrating the impact of our investments in sales and marketing, a broader distribution partnership, and product enhancements.”

    Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results
    Revenue for the three months ended July 3, 2021 increased 116% to $13.4 million from $6.2 million during the same period of the prior year. Excluding newly acquired PASCAL products, revenue increased 81% over the second quarter of 2020.

    Gross profit for the second quarter of 2021 increased to $6.1 million, a 45.5% gross margin, compared to $2.4 million, a 38.7% gross margin, in the same period last year. The gross margin increase was primarily attributable to the impact of production efficiency initiatives, greater overhead absorption due to higher revenue and continued increase in higher margin probes within the product mix.

    Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2021 increased 40% to $7.2 million compared to $5.2 million in the same period of the prior year, mainly due to additional expenses related to PASCAL operations and higher level of business activities and investments compared to the prior year quarter that was greatly impacted by the pandemic.  

    The Company recorded a $2.5 million non-operating gain in Other Income, net, in the second quarter of 2021 in connection with the forgiveness by the U.S. Small Business Administration of the total outstanding amount of its Paycheck Protection Program loan.

    Net income for the second quarter of 2021 was $1.4 million, compared to a net loss $2.8 million in the same period of the prior year. Net income on a per share basis was $0.09 in 2021 versus a loss of $0.20 in the second quarter of 2020.

    Cash usage in the second quarter was $1.7 million, which resulted in cash of $26.3 million at quarter-end.

    Updated Guidance for Full Year 2021
    Iridex now expects total revenue for fiscal year 2021 to range from $50 million to $52 million, reflecting growth of 38% - 43% over fiscal year 2020. This compares to the previous range of $48 million to $51 million. Cyclo G6 probe sales are expected to increase to 58,000 to 60,000 from prior guidance of 56,000 to 59,000. Glaucoma Laser System sales expectation of 250 to 275 for 2021 remains unchanged.
