Cash and cash equivalents were $105.6 million as of December 31st, 2014 compared to $42.8 million as of December 31, 2013. The increase in cash and cash equivalents is primarily due to proceeds related to our IPO and shares options proceeds, $15.0 million cash flow generated from ongoing business activities, partially offset by cash payments to Bank Hapoalim of $15.0 million related to annual loan repayment and $6.0 million related to the completion of the IPO and achievement of a profitability milestone as well as to additional IPO-related payments of $1.2 million.
Business Highlights
- Our new innovative products, released since Q2'13, show great momentum and already accounted for 18% of product sales in the fourth quarter
- In Aesthetics, our portable and upgradable LightSheer DESIRE hair removal platform experienced great market acceptance with sales ramping up quickly. The full commercialization of LightSheer INFINITY, our premium hair removal offering with dual wavelength (805nm,1060nm) for treatment of all skin types, should take place during 2015. In addition, we recently announced the new ResurFX, a stand-alone, fractional, non-ablative skin resurfacing solution, which leverages the existing superb M22™ technology and builds upon the successful launch of ResurFX module for the M22™ multi-application platform.
- In Surgical, our flagship premium offering in Urology, the Lumenis Pulse 120H, has been well-received among physicians and we are excited by the early market response to this innovative technology. After a successful initial market evaluation, which demonstrated the product's clinical superiority, we anticipate this will be a major contributor to our Company's growth in the future.
- In Ophthalmic, we are starting to see positive results from the move of the R&D team from Salt Lake City to Israel with good progress on the development of products with improved cost structure and features.
