IRIDEX Reports 2012 Third Quarter Results
Mountain View, Calif. November 1, 2012 IRIDEX Corporation (Nasdaq: IRIX) today reported financial results
for the third quarter ended September 29, 2012.
Interim CEO William M. Moore said, IRIDEX implemented a number of important strategic and operational realignments during the third quarter. This included a management change at the end of August
and the subsequent elimination or reassignment of several senior executive positions. These personnel changes have been accompanied by an assessment of the Company s revenue and spending plans in order to give priority to investments that have
the potential to deliver significant near term shareholder return via either new revenues or improved efficiencies. The combination of changes was designed to improve performance and accountability at all levels of the organization.
Moore continued, Going forward, we plan to deliver shareholder value in three principal ways. First, we will return the
Company to profitability and thereafter operate the business to be consistently profitable. Second, we will take advantage of our strong position in the market to be opportunistic in acquiring or partnering with ophthalmic companies that have
developed excellent technologies. Third, we will deploy cash from our strong balance sheet and profitable operations to directly benefit our shareholders through our share buyback program.
During the third quarter, the Company repurchased 76,429 shares at an average price of
$3.65. In total, the Company has repurchased 241,000 shares at an average price of $3.82. In May 2012, the Board of Directors approved an extension of the Company s share repurchase program through March 2013 and an increase in the amount of
cash available for the program to a total of $4 million. Moore said, We are exploring all avenues open to the Company to make the ongoing buyback program more effective.
The preceding commentary relates to the results of the Company s continuing ophthalmology business. In February 2012, the Company
sold its aesthetics laser business and the financial statements reflect the results of its aesthetics laser business as discontinued operations.
