Ron Santilli, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer stated, “We are pleased that revenue for the fourth quarter has once again exceeded our guidance. These preliminary results constitute the strongest quarter and full-year revenue in Cutera’s history. We achieved revenue growth in both the North American and Rest of the World markets with strength across several of our products, particularly from the enlighten offering, our tattoo and skin revitalization product.”
The Company planned for, and realized, full-year profitability in 2016, with approximately $4.0 million in net income in the fourth quarter of 2016.

The Company believes it is well positioned with its current product portfolio, pipeline of new technologies and strong global commercial team to continue this momentum. It further believes that the market for aesthetic equipment remains strong and Cutera’s continued high rate of growth indicates it is increasing market share.
