Our ICL unit growth exceeded refractive industry growth by over 25 points for the third year in a row.1 Our 22% global ICL sales growth in the quarter included 30% growth in China and 18% in EMEA. As we enter 2024, we see encouraging end-market ICL sales trends and are affirming our fiscal 2024 net sales outlook of $335 million to $340 million.”
Mr. Frinzi continued, “With healthy margins, no debt and a record $232 million of cash, cash equivalents and investments on the balance sheet we will continue to strategically invest in our growth opportunities. We are also enhancing the surgeon experience, both in the clinical environment and in driving practice efficiency. EVO ICL is the next logical step in refractive innovation with clear differentiators in patient outcomes and patient satisfaction. We are pleased with the increasing interest our lens based technology is garnering and look forward to sharing more about our progress, partnerships and innovation investments in the coming weeks and at the ASCRS meeting in Boston.”
Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Net sales were $76.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, up 19% compared to $64.0 million reported in the prior year quarter. The sales increase in the fourth quarter was driven by ICL sales and unit growth of 22% and 19%, respectively, as compared to the prior year period. Other Products sales decreased 43% compared to the prior year quarter.
Gross profit margin for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 79.6% of total net sales compared to the prior year quarter of 77.7% of total net sales. Product mix favorably impacted gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2023 as compared to the prior year quarter.
Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $50.3 million compared to the prior year quarter of $48.8 million. General and administrative expenses were $16.9 million compared to the prior year quarter of $14.8 million. The increase in general and administrative expenses was due to increased outside services and facilities costs. Selling and marketing expenses were $22.6 million compared to the prior year quarter of $24.2 million. The decrease in selling and marketing expenses was due to decreased compensation-related expenses and marketing, promotional and advertising activities. Research and development expenses were $10.9 million compared to the prior year quarter of $9.8 million. The increase in research and development expenses was due to increased compensation-related expenses.
Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $10.4 million or 13.7% of net sales as compared to $1.0 million or 1.5% of net sales for the fourth quarter of 2022.
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $7.8 million or $0.16 per diluted share compared with net income of $6.8 million or $0.14 per diluted share for the prior year quarter. The year over year increase in net income was attributable to higher gross profit, partially offset by a higher provision for income taxes, lower other income and increased SG&A expenses.
Fiscal Year 2023 Financial Results
Net sales were $322.4 million for fiscal year 2023, up 13% compared to $284.4 million reported in the prior year. The increase in net sales was driven by ICL sales and unit growth of 18% and 19%, respectively. Other Products Sales decreased 80% compared to the prior year.
Gross profit margin for fiscal year 2023 decreased to 78.4% of total net sales compared to 78.5% of total net sales for fiscal year 2022.
Operating expenses for fiscal year 2023 were $224.6 million compared to $179.6 million in the prior year. The 25% increase in operating expense was primarily due to higher compensation-related expenses, marketing, promotional and advertising activities, outside services and facilities costs.
Operating income for fiscal year 2023 was $28.1 million or 8.8% of net sales as compared to $43.8 million or 15.4% of net sales for fiscal year 2022.
Net income for fiscal year 2023 was $21.3 million or $0.43 per diluted share compared with net income of $39.7 million or $0.80 per diluted share for the prior year. The year over year decrease in net income was due to increased SG&A expenses and provision for income taxes, partially offset by higher gross margin and other income.
Cash, cash equivalents and investments available for sale at December 29, 2023, totaled $232.4 million, compared to $225.5 million at end of the fourth quarter of 2022.
Outlook
The Company expects the following for fiscal year 2024:
- Net sales of $335 million to $340 million.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per diluted share are non-GAAP financial measures. For further information on non-GAAP financial measures, please refer to the “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of this press release. Please also refer to the tables at the end of this press release for a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. |
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the Company’s financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying tables include certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its evaluation of Company operating performance and believes investors will find them useful in evaluating the Company’s operating performance, including cash flow generation, and in analyzing period-to-period financial performance of core business operations and underlying business trends. Non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to, not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is calculated by adding interest income and expense, net; provision for income taxes; and depreciation and amortization to net income. In calculating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per diluted share, the Company further adjusts for stock-based compensation expense. As stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense that can vary significantly based on the timing, size and nature of awards granted, the Company believes that the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense can assist investors in comparisons of Company operating results with other peer companies because (i) the amount of such expense in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations and (ii) such expense can vary significantly between periods as a result of the timing of grants of new stock-based awards, including inducement grants in connection with hiring. Additionally, the Company believes that excluding stock-based compensation from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per diluted share assists management and investors in making meaningful comparisons between the Company’s operating performance and the operating performance of other companies that may use different forms of employee compensation or different valuation methodologies for their stock-based compensation. Investors should note that stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to employees whose efforts contributed to the operating results in the periods presented and are expected to contribute to operating results in future periods. Investors should also note that such expenses will recur in the future.
The Company also presents certain financial information on a constant currency basis, which is intended to exclude the effects of foreign currency fluctuations. 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 the Company’s results when reported in U.S. dollars. 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.
In the tables provided below, the Company has included a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per diluted share to net income and net income per diluted share, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as supplemental financial information with net sales expressed in constant currency. The Company has also provided a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per diluted share to net income and net income per diluted share. This represents forward-looking information, and actual results may vary. Please see the risks and assumptions referred to in the Safe Harbor section of this press release.
