BIOLASE COMMENTS ON RECENT DECLINE IN STOCK PRICE
IRVINE, CA (June 5, 2015) BIOLASE, Inc. (NASDAQ:BIOL), the global leader in dental lasers, announced today that it is not aware of any fundamental reason for the recent decline in the price of BIOLASE common stock.
President and Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey M. Nugent said, We believe we are continuing to make excellent progress in the transformation of BIOLASE. In the first quarter of this year, we continued to revitalize our core dental laser franchise on multiple fronts: worldwide unit sales of our WaterLase® product line increased year over year by 9 percent, the first increase in two years; domestic unit sales and revenue of our EPIC diode lasers grew year over year 44 percent and 38 percent, respectively; customer satisfaction improved significantly; and we introduced two new dental laser systems and our breakthrough Practice Growth. Guaranteed initiative.
We are encouraged by the Companys progress to date, and I believe in 2015, BIOLASE will achieve its twin goals of beginning to drive long term improvements in top and bottom line performance, Nugent added. I look forward to welcoming Harold Flynn when he becomes our new President and CEO on July 13 of this year, and I am committed to helping him during the transition.
