BIOLASE REPORTS THIRD QUARTER, NINE-MONTH RESULTS

Guidance for Q4: $9.5 Million — $10 Million in Gross Revenue; Forecast Profitable Bottom Line

IRVINE, CA (November 2, 2010) — BIOLASE Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:BLTI), the world’s leading dental laser company, today reported operating results for its third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Net revenue for the 2010 third quarter was $6.2 million compared to $12.1 million in the same quarter for 2009 and $5.9 million in the 2010 second quarter. Revenue excluding license fees and royalties for the third quarter of 2010 was $6.0 million, up 27 percent sequentially from $4.7 million for the 2010 second quarter, due to BIOLASE selling direct during the month of September. The majority of sales in this year’s third quarter were from the sale of the Company’s flagship Waterlase MD™ laser. Net revenue in last year’s third quarter was $12.1 million. Net revenue for the first nine months of this year was $16.5 million, a 50 percent decrease compared to $33.0 million in the prior year period. The year-over-year change in revenue in the third quarter and the first nine months of this year was driven by minimized domestic laser purchases by Henry Schein, Inc. (NASDAQ:HSIC), however sales to Henry Schein worldwide decreased as a percentage of product revenue from 51 percent in the 2010 second quarter to 39 percent in the 2010 third quarter and is expected to decline to a minimum of 11 percent of product revenue in the fourth quarter of 2010.

As announced at the end of the third quarter, BIOLASE entered into a new North American distribution agreement with Henry Schein, changing the distribution relationship from exclusive to non-exclusive. BIOLASE is now selling on a direct and multi-distributor basis.

Federico Pignatelli, new Chairman and CEO as of August 27, 2010, said, “We believe we have passed the low point in sales and are well along the pathway of renewed growth. The improved commercial and operational metrics in the third quarter are just the beginning of the results of a company-wide restructuring and turnaround. The changes at the Company are many. We have positively impacted cost structure, commercial momentum, and employee morale and have reinvigorated the overall spirit of invention that has been a hallmark of this Company through its initial success and growth periods.”

Recent Highlights

With a new executive team and Board, and under the leadership of newly appointed CEO Federico Pignatelli, a series of accomplishments were made during the third quarter and in the weeks following the period that Mr. Pignatelli believes have put the Company on firmer financial footing and on a path towards a return to growth and profitability. Those milestones include:

• The completion of a corporate-wide reorganization that achieved the goal of reducing, by approximately 30 percent, its total sales breakeven level to approximately $32 million on an EBITDA cash basis, or $8 million on a quarterly basis, in the current quarter.

• The regaining of compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

• An expanding sales force.

• The first multi-product order from Benco Dental, the largest privately owned, full-service dental distributor in the United States.

• The receipt of a $9 million open purchase order by Henry Schein for BIOLASE products, $6 million of which will be for the purchase of the revolutionary iLase™ personal laser, with an option for an additional $3 million of iLase or for other laser systems, including the flagship Waterlase MD Turbo™.

• The appointment of Dmitri Boutoussov, Ph.D., to Chief Technology Officer.

• The award of two new patents that strengthen intellectual property position in core Waterlase^® technology and diode lasers, bringing total issued and pending patents to 286.

• The shipment of the initial limited delivery of the iLase to Henry Schein against the recently announced $9 million order.

Pignatelli continued, “We expect the rapid pace of change at the Company to continue during the current quarter and into the new year, as we anticipate additional expansion in our sales and marketing organization, new distribution partners, and an acceleration of the positive sales trend that began at the end of the third quarter. Our goal is to be profitable and cash flow positive in the fourth quarter and our guidance on the top line is from $9.5 million to $10 million in gross revenue, including a minimum of $1.1 million of equipment sold to Henry Schein.”

Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue for this year’s third quarter and first nine months was 29 percent and 24 percent, respectively, compared to 48 percent for both prior year periods. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to the lower revenue numbers, in comparison to fixed and unabsorbed manufacturing costs in cost of revenue. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue, excluding license fees and royalties, improved by 9 percent from 17 percent in the 2010 second quarter to 26 percent for the 2010 third quarter.

Operating expenses in the third quarter and first nine months of 2010 were $4.2 million and $15.8 million, respectively, compared to $4.9 million and $17.3 million in the year-earlier periods. The year-over-year decrease was due to recent restructuring activities. The loss from operations declined significantly on a sequential basis by $1.7 million to $2.4 million for the 2010 third quarter compared to $4.1 million in the 2010 second quarter.

Net loss for this year’s third quarter was $2.7 million, or $0.11 loss per share, compared to net income of $859,000, or $0.04 per share, in the 2009 third quarter. Non-GAAP net loss was $2.2 million, or $0.09 loss per share, for the 2010 third quarter compared with non-GAAP net income of $1.5 million, or $0.06 per share, for the similar quarter in 2009.

Net loss for the first nine months of 2010 was $12.2 million, or $0.50 loss per share, compared to a net loss of $1.5 million, or $0.06 loss per share, in the first nine months of 2009. Non-GAAP net loss was $10.7 million, or $0.44 loss per share, for this year’s first nine months compared with non-GAAP net income of $791,000, or $0.03 per share, for the similar period in 2009.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The non-GAAP financial measures contained herein are a supplement to the corresponding financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The non-GAAP financial measures presented exclude the items summarized in the below table. Management believes that adjustments for these items assist investors in making comparisons of period-to-period operating results and that these items are not indicative of the Company’s on-going core operating performance.

Management uses non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share in its evaluation of the Company’s core after-tax results of operations and trends between fiscal periods and believes that these measures are important components of its internal performance measurement process. Management believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures allows investors to view the Company’s financial results in the way that management views the financial results.

The non-GAAP financial measures presented herein have certain limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of the Company’s business as determined in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures presented by the Company may be different from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
