North America Body Shaping Division Highlights:

  • Generated strong double-digit sequential growth of per procedure Focal Treatment Zones (FTZ).
  • Strong acceptance of Syneron's unique combination treatment with VelaShape and UltraShape contributes to VelaShape III sales and generates superior body shaping clinical outcome.
  • Advanced clinical trial activity in support of expanding UltraShape's FDA cleared indications for use.

Amit Meridor, Chief Executive Officer of Syneron, said, "We achieved another solid quarter in our North America Body Shaping Division, driven by the expansion of our sales team and marketing initiatives. We remain on track with our UltraShape revenue plan for the year. We are also investing in clinical trials to expand our FDA UltraShape clinical indications for additional body areas."

North America Aesthetic Division Highlights:

  • Generated strong PicoWay™ sales.
  • PicoWay received FDA clearance in the U.S. for treatment of pigmented lesions.
  • Launched Profound™ RF micro-needle technology for minimally invasive sub-mental and face lift treatments, generating positive initial traction.

Mr. Meridor added, "Growth in the North America Aesthetic Division was driven by the ongoing launch of PicoWay, good results from the Gentle Pro family of dual wavelength laser systems, and launch of the Profound minimally invasive micro-needle RF system. FDA clearance of PicoWay for treatment of pigmented lesions further expands its market opportunity and strengthens our confidence in its growth potential. PicoWay also has strong potential growth trajectory outside of North America. We were pleased to receive regulatory clearance in the important Korean market in late July."

Revenue: Second quarter 2015 revenue was $73.5 million, up 14%, compared to $64.6 million in the second quarter 2014. Second quarter 2015 constant currency revenue growth was 19%, when excluding the negative impact of $3.1 million related to the change in foreign currency exchange rates as compared to the second quarter 2014.

Mr. Meridor said, "We achieved three consecutive quarters of double-digit revenue growth, demonstrating strong momentum in our global business. This includes another quarter of robust product growth in the EMEA and Asia-Pacific regions driven by our global sales infrastructure and broad product portfolio. Looking forward, we see significant growth potential with the re-launch of UltraShape in international markets and the launch of three new facial and body shaping products in 2016 based on our Candela and ELOS™ proprietary technologies."

Shimon Eckhouse, Active Chairman of Syneron, said, "Our development team is focused on bringing highly innovative products to our aesthetic doctor customers. The Profound launched in the second quarter offers a revolutionary single treatment - 30-minute face and neck procedure based on our proprietary RF micro needle technology. In recently published clinical studies, the Profound demonstrated clinical results equivalent to 50% of face lift surgery in face and neck treatments. In 2016 we also plan to launch two additional products for facial aesthetic applications based on Candela's pulsed dye laser and solid state laser technologies combined with Syneron's proprietary ELOS™ technology. Additional product launches planned for 2016 include significant enhancements to our body shaping portfolio."
