Quarterly sales included $10.6 million from the company’s Visian ICL product portfolio, down from $10.7 million during the same period last year. The company also reported $5.8 million in earnings from IOL products and $1.8 million of lower-margin other product sales, according to the release.
Third-quarter results also included a GAAP net loss of $2.7 million, or $0.07 on a per diluted share basis, compared with a net income of $525,000 or $0.01 on a per diluted share basis, in the third quarter of 2013.
Gross profit margin was reported at 65.3%, compared with 70.5% in 2013. This decrease was driven by factors including higher distribution costs and increased inventory reserves, as well as higher ICL unit costs, according to the release.
