PhotoMedex Raises Fourth Quarter 2012 Revenue Forecast

PhotoMedex, Inc. (NASDAQ and TASE: PHMD) announces that it expects revenue for the fourth quarter of 2012 to increase by more than 80% year over year and to be between $52 million and $54 million. This compares with previous guidance for fourth quarter revenue to increase by more than 60% over the same quarter of 2011, and to be between $46 million and $48 million. The Company attributes the quarterly revenue outperformance to the efficiency of holiday advertising in the Consumer business segment that is yielding sales above prior forecasts, as well as better-than-expected results in the Company’s Physician Recurring and Professional business segments.

“We are pleased that all of our business segments are producing better-than-expected revenues and we are particularly delighted with the consumer response to our holiday advertising. Furthermore, I am proud of our team, which is producing record revenues in 2012. For the first time these revenues will exceed $200 million, and at an anticipated range of $218 million to $220 million, represent a gain of more than 65% over last year. We believe the operating initiatives put in place this past year position us well for continued growth in 2013,” said Dr. Dolev Rafaeli, chief executive officer of PhotoMedex.
