STAAR Surgical Company (NASDAQ: STAA), a leading developer, manufacturer and marketer of implantable lenses and companion delivery systems for the eye, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 1, 2021.
Fourth Quarter 2020 Overview
Full Year 2020 Overview
“Our 2020 performance reflects the continued momentum behind STAAR’s commercial growth and product innovation. Consequently, we achieved strong fourth quarter results and met our original sales targets for the second half of 2020, despite the unprecedented global pandemic. Our momentum has continued into the first weeks of 2021,” said Caren Mason, President and CEO of STAAR Surgical. “For the full year 2020 ICL unit growth was up 11% as compared to a 21% decline in industry-wide refractive procedures.1 STAAR’s positive growth affirms the increasing adoption for our EVO ICL family of implantable lenses and illustrates that our lenses continue to capture refractive market share. We believe our lenses are likely to grow the overall market demand for refractive procedures. In 2021 we are confident that our strategies will continue to expand the ICL’s position as a transformational pathway to Visual Freedom for patients seeking a life independent of glasses and frequent replacement contact lenses as we support a lens-based future of refractive vision correction.”
Financial Overview – Q4 2020
Net sales were $46.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, up 18% compared to $38.9 million reported in the prior year quarter. The sales increase was driven by ICL revenue and unit growth of 20% and 13%, respectively, as compared to the prior year period. Other Product Sales increased 10% compared to the prior year quarter due to increased injector parts sales. ICL revenue was 87% of total Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2020.
Gross profit margin for the fourth quarter of 2020 was 74.6% compared to the prior year period of 74.1%. Factors impacting gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2020, as compared to the prior year period, include geographic sales mix partially offset by inventory reserves taken on certain lower margin IOL products which are being discontinued, and manufacturing projects.
Operating expenses for the fourth quarter were $30.2 million compared to the prior year quarter of $26.5 million. General and administrative expenses were $9.5 million compared to the prior year quarter of $7.9 million. The increase in general and administrative expenses was due to increased salary-related costs, variable compensation, corporate insurance and facilities costs. Selling and marketing expenses were $11.8 million compared to the prior year quarter of $11.2 million. The increase in selling and marketing expenses is due to increased salary-related costs and advertising and promotional expenses, partially offset by decreased travel, sales meetings and trade show expenses. Research and development expenses were $9.0 million compared to the prior year quarter of $7.4 million. The increase in research and development expenses is primarily due to increased clinical expenses associated with our EVO clinical trial in the U.S., and increased salary-related expenses and variable compensation.
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $3.3 million or $0.07 per diluted share compared with net income of $6.4 million or $0.14 per diluted share for the prior year quarter. The year over year decrease is attributable to higher provision for income taxes as the result of a $0.07 per diluted share tax benefit in 2019. Adjusted Net Income for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $6.8 million or $0.14 per diluted share compared to $5.5 million or $0.12 per diluted share for the prior year quarter. The reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial information is provided in the financial tables included with this release.
Financial Overview – Full Year 2020
Net sales were $163.5 million for full year (“FY”) 2020, up 9% compared to $150.2 million reported in the prior year. The sales increase was driven by ICL revenue and unit growth of 9% and 11%, respectively. Other Products Sales increased 6% compared to the prior year. ICL revenue was 87% of total net sales for FY 2020.
Gross profit margin for FY 2020 decreased to 72.4% of total net sales compared to 74.5% of total net sales for FY 2019. The decrease in gross margin for the year is due to geographic sales mix, a voluntary pause in manufacturing at the Company’s principal manufacturing facility commencing in March due to the pandemic, and period costs related to manufacturing projects.
Operating expenses for FY 2020 were $111.6 million compared to prior year of $100.1 million. The increase in operating expense is due to increased salary-related costs, variable compensation, corporate insurance and facilities costs, and increased clinical expenses associated with the Company’s EVO clinical trial in the U.S.
Net income for FY 2020 was $5.9 million or approximately $0.12 per share compared with net income of $14.0 million or $0.30 per diluted share for the prior year. The year over year decrease in net income is due to lower operating income and a higher provision for income taxes as the result of a $0.07 per diluted share tax benefit in 2019. Adjusted Net Income for FY 2020 was $16.7 million or $0.35 per diluted share, compared with an Adjusted Net Income of $21.7 million or $0.46 per diluted share for FY 2019. The reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial information is provided in the financial tables included with this release.
Cash and cash equivalents at January 1, 2021 totaled $152.5 million, compared to $120.0 million at end of the fourth quarter of 2019. The Company generated $21.0 million in cash from operations for FY 2020.

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. “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”): gain or loss on foreign currency transactions, stock-based compensation expenses, and valuation allowance adjustments. 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.
Management has also excluded gains and losses on foreign currency transactions 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. Valuation allowance adjustments can occur from time to time based on forecasted changes in operating results until all net operating loss carryforwards are fully utilized. In calculating Adjusted Net Income, STAAR excludes these expenses because they are non-cash expenses and because of the 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.
The Company also uses Constant Currency as a Non-GAAP financial measure to exclude the effects of currency fluctuations on net sales. 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. 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.
