Management Commentary
Dr. Dolev Rafaeli, PhotoMedex CEO, commented, “We are reporting record revenues for both the quarter and the year, and we achieved these results without any consumer sales from Japan in the second half of the year. Our North American Media Efficiency Ratio was outstanding during the fourth quarter, with MERs as high as 3.86 during certain weeks. In addition, we were successful in cross-selling Neova products to our direct-to-consumer customers, with consumer sales from this skin care product line up 21% over the third quarter of 2013. Our direct-to-consumer revenues were up 34% on a sequential quarter basis and were up 31% over the prior year. Recently, a clinical study by Emanuele, et al. published in the March 2014 edition of Journal of Drugs in Dermatology about indications for prevention of sun damage associated with skin aging and non-melanoma skin cancer reported that Neova DNA Total Repair and DNA Damage Control ACTIVE SPF 44 were shown to be the most efficient repair and protect product combination among the commercially available products compared. Also, we initiated pre-launch activities for our Kyrobak® product for the treatment of lower back pain, with initial media testing that resulted in positive indications that will be further expanded in the first quarter of 2014.”
Dr. Rafaeli continued, “We have made excellent progress in broadening awareness of XTRAC for the treatment of psoriasis and vitiligo as demonstrated by the 12% sequential increase in treatment revenues and the 80% increase year-over-year. XTRAC is a source of recurring revenues to the treating physician and to PhotoMedex once a patient has been acquired. As a recent endorsement for the efficacy of XTRAC, a clinical study published recently in the Journal of Dermatological Treatment by Dr. John Y. M. Koo, M.D. of the Department of Dermatology, Psoriasis and Skin Treatment Center, University of California, San Francisco and a member of our scientific advisory board and others shows that the XTRAC Velocity excimer laser when used in combination with a topical therapy is as effective as biologics, but without the systemic immune suppression or other potentially harmful side effects for the treatment of moderate to severe psoriasis. We are optimistic for continued rapid growth in the physician recurring revenue side of our business, and look forward to gaining revenue from XTRAC treatments and Neova product sales from the underutilized LasikPlus infrastructure and professional staff, upon completion of our acquisition of LCA-Vision.”
“International expansion is a significant component of our growth strategy for our no!no! brand,” he added. “In the fourth quarter we initiated media testing in Brazil with encouraging results. In addition, we continue to build our brand awareness in Germany and Great Britain and are confident we have the pieces in place for a very successful year ahead with each major business segment making significant contributions to our growth in 2014.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement PhotoMedex’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, PhotoMedex provides certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP adjusted income and non-GAAP adjusted income per share.
PhotoMedex’s reference to these non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared under current accounting standards, but are not a substitute for, nor superior to, GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of PhotoMedex’s current financial performance and to provide further information for comparative purposes.
Specifically, the Company believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to management and investors by isolating certain expenses, gains and losses that may not be indicative of the Company’s core operating results and business outlook. In addition, PhotoMedex believes non-GAAP measures enhance the comparability of results against prior periods. Reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure of all non-GAAP measures included in this press release is as follows:
