The preliminary revenue represents the strongest third quarter, and among the highest quarters overall, in Cutera’s history – a remarkable achievement for what is typically a seasonally weaker quarter of the year. We achieved revenue growth in both the North American and Rest of World (“ROW”) markets and saw strength across all of our platforms, reflecting the continued execution of our growth strategies. We are also pleased to have achieved GAAP profitability, indicating the leverage in our business model as we continue to grow. We believe the market for aesthetic equipment remains strong and our continued high rate of growth indicates to us that we are taking market share. We believe that we are well positioned with our products, pipeline, and commercial channels to continue this momentum.”
The Company plans to release actual third quarter 2016 financial results on Monday, November 7, 2016 after market close.
