PLEASANTON, CA--(Marketwired - May 10, 2016) -
- First quarter revenue of $64.5 million, up 25% year-over-year despite shipment of 80 systems to Ideal Image in
the first quarter of 2015
- 256 systems shipped, bringing total installed base to 4,890 systems
- 307,418 revenue cycles shipped, up 48% from the first quarter of 2015
ZELTIQ® (NASDAQ: ZLTQ), a medical technology company focused on developing and commercializing products
utilizing its proprietary controlled-cooling technology platform, today announced financial results for the first quarter 2016.
Mark Foley, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "I am very pleased with our strong Q1 performance and with the
considerable momentum we are experiencing in our business. Our first quarter results reflect the positive impact of our national
direct to consumer (DTC) campaign and further validate our beliefs regarding the significant number of patients that are searching
for a non-invasive fat reduction treatment. The combination of our DTC campaign and our existing sales and marketing initiatives
drove a 26% increase in North American utilization rates, and a 48% year-over-year increase in global revenue cycles. Recent market
research suggests that there are more than 29 million consumers in the U.S. who are interested in the CoolSculpting procedure,
while additional survey work revealed that approximately 85% of CoolSculpting respondents were first-time visitors to the
CoolSculpting provider. Despite the fact that we have performed approximately 3 million treatments to date, we believe we remain in
the early phases of developing this market, and believe that we are less than 1% penetrated in the global consumer market. North
America system placements increased 50%, excluding the shipment of 80 systems to Ideal Image in the first quarter of 2015, as we
continue to penetrate the over 18,000 aesthetic-focused practices in the U.S. We have received very positive feedback on the
CoolAdvantage family of applicators since introducing them at the American Academy of Dermatology Annual Meeting in early March.
During the quarter, we deferred the recognition of $3 million in revenue for CoolAdvantage applicators, which were ordered as part
of a new system but will be delivered separately once the applicators are ready for shipment later in the second and third quarters
of this year. The CoolAdvantage family of applicators reduce treatment times to 35 minutes for the abdomen, flanks and inner thigh
while also enabling a more uniform tissue draw with a significant reduction in suction forces. Based on the ongoing success of our
CoolMini launch, introduction of our CoolAdvantage applicators, national DTC campaign and other ongoing initiatives, we have
increased confidence in our business which is leading us to raise our 2016 revenue guidance to a range of $320 million to $325
million."
Mr. Foley continued, "Based on some of the changes we are making to our international organization and efforts to optimize our
long-term strategy, our international business experienced some disruption in Q1. While economic headwinds will continue to provide
challenges in certain international markets, we view the disruption experienced in the first quarter as transitory in nature and we
expect that our international business will be an important contributor to our success in the second half of 2016. We are making
strong progress in adding the necessary resources to develop the international market and continue to expect it to be a major
component of our long-term growth."
Mr. Foley concluded, "As we look into 2016 and beyond, we are extremely bullish about the future of our business. The
non-invasive fat reduction market remains large and underpenetrated, our sales and marketing initiatives continue to generate
momentum and build the CoolSculpting brand, our product enhancements keep us ahead of the competition, and we continue to expand
the applicability of our technology, including recent FDA clearance to treat fat around bra straps, on the back, and underneath the
buttocks."

Total revenue for the first quarter 2016 was $64.5 million, consisting of $24.7 million of system revenue and $39.8 million of

ordered as part of a new CoolSculpting system but will be delivered separately once the applicators are ready for shipment in late
second quarter and third quarter of 2016. This compares to total revenue of $51.6 million, consisting of $26.2 million of system
revenue and $25.4 million of consumable revenue, for the first quarter 2015. Total revenue cycles shipped increased 48% to 307,418
for the first quarter 2016, compared to 207,287 for the first quarter 2015.

million for the first quarter 2015.

first quarter 2015. Net loss for the first quarter 2016 was $9.9 million, or a loss of $0.25 per share, compared to a net loss of

for the first quarter 2016, compared to weighted average basic shares outstanding of 38.4 million for the first quarter 2015.
On a non-GAAP basis, the company reported adjusted EBITDA of negative $6.3 million, or (9.7%) of revenue, for the first quarter
2016, compared to positive $3.0 million, or 5.8% of revenue, for the first quarter 2015.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
ZELTIQ has supplemented its GAAP net income (loss) with a non-GAAP measure of Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes that this
non-GAAP financial measure provides useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding the performance of
ZELTIQ, facilitates a more meaningful comparison of results for current periods with previous operating results, and assists
management in analyzing future trends, making strategic and business decisions and establishing internal budgets and forecasts. A
reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss) in the most directly comparable GAAP measure is provided in
the schedule below.
There are limitations in using this non-GAAP financial measure because it is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be
different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. Investors and potential investors should consider non-GAAP financial
measures only in conjunction with the ZELTIQ's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and the
reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measure provided in the schedule below.
About ZELTIQ® Aesthetics
ZELTIQ is a medical technology company focused on developing and commercializing products utilizing its proprietary
controlled-cooling technology platform. ZELTIQ's first commercial product, the CoolSculpting System, is designed to selectively
reduce stubborn fat bulges. CoolSculpting is based on the scientific principle that fat cells are more sensitive to cold than the
overlying skin and surrounding tissues. It utilizes patented technology of precisely controlled cooling to reduce the temperature
of fat cells in the treated area, which is intended to cause fat cell elimination through a natural biological process known as
apoptosis. ZELTIQ developed CoolSculpting to safely, noticeably, and measurably reduce the fat layer.
