Exhibit 99.1
STAAR Surgical Announces Preliminary Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021 Results
Achieves 40% Growth Y/Y with Full Year 2021 Net Sales of Approximately $230 Million
Fourth Quarter Net Sales Approximately $59 Million
LAKE FOREST, CA, January 10, 2022--- STAAR Surgical Company (NASDAQ: STAA), a leading developer, manufacturer and marketer of implantable lenses and companion delivery systems for the eye, today provided preliminary results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. The Company expects total net sales for the fourth quarter to be approximately $59 million and full year net sales to be approximately $230 million. GAAP earnings per share is expected to be approximately $0.10 for the fourth quarter and approximately $0.50 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
“STAAR’s preliminary sales results for fiscal 2021 highlight the robust demand for our lenses as our ICLs are elevated within the ophthalmic community. For fiscal 2021 we achieved 40% growth in net sales year over year. ICL units for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 were up 36% globally, year over year, including China up 44%, Japan up 45%, South Korea up 35% and India up 74% with growth partially moderated by an increasing number of Covid cases in Europe,” said Caren Mason, President and CEO of STAAR Surgical.
“During the second half of 2021, production output was lower than planned due to Covid-related employee absences, modest supply chain challenges and throughput running lower than plan. This resulted in a continuing backlog of over 20,000 lenses in house, mostly made-to-order toric lenses, that usually would have shipped in the prescribed timeframe. We are committed to continuing to push hard to overcome these challenges and are doubling the footprint at our principal manufacturing facility through movement of non-production floor space requirements to other facilities. We are also purchasing and upgrading our tooling and systems to dovetail with the expansion. As we look forward in 2022, we remain focused on advancing our strong growth trajectory for our EVO ICL lenses. In the U.S. our submission of clinical data for STAAR’s EVO ICL family of myopia lenses remains under customary interactive FDA review. For fiscal 2022, we anticipate our net sales will grow to approximately $295 million subject to no unforeseen impact from Covid on our business.”
STAAR expects to report complete fourth quarter and fiscal year results on or about February 23 and provided today’s information due to investor meetings taking place January 10-11, 2022. The financial information in this release is unaudited and subject to adjustment in the final audited financial statements to be filed with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
