- 247,298 revenue cycles, up 55% from third quarter 2014

ZELTIQ
Mark Foley, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "I am very pleased with our ongoing, successful execution and our ability to continue to expand and grow the non-invasive fat reduction market which we believe remains in its early stages of evolution. Our third quarter revenue of $61.2M reflects the significant momentum we are experiencing, our expanding leadership position and our ability to continue to penetrate the largely untapped $4 billion non-invasive fat reduction market. In the quarter, over 50% of our revenue came from consumables and our 34% year-over-year total revenue growth was driven by our ninth consecutive quarter of year-over-year account utilization growth. These results and our expectations for the fourth quarter have led us to raise our full year revenue guidance to approximately $252 million."
Mr. Foley continued, "I am also pleased with the progress we continue to make on our strategic initiatives which include new product introductions, expanded indications, increasing brand awareness, shorter treatment times and increasing account utilization. In the third quarter we expanded our direct-to-consumer pilot, continued the successful roll out of our CoolSmooth PRO™ applicator, received FDA clearance to treat submental fat and launched our CoolMini applicator. Early feedback on our CoolMini applicator and its ability to treat submental fat has been very positive and we are excited about the significant new market opportunity CoolMini opens up and its ability to bring new patients into the aesthetic channel. Our CoolSmooth Pro applicator continues to receive positive feedback as more physicians experience the economic and convenience benefits of a shorter treatment time and better practice efficiency. In addition, we remain on track to introduce colder temperatures to our suction-based applicators in 2016 which we believe will enable our practices to reduce treatment times by almost half. Our direct-to-consumer pilot continues to generate positive results and our expansion into seven additional U.S. cities and one international market is having a measurable effect. Lastly, we are pleased to announce that we entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) for the treatment of acne. The agreement provides ZELTIQ with the rights, on an exclusive worldwide basis, to the intellectual property generated from the collaboration. As part of this, we will be paying MGH a 3% royalty for any future products that are commercialized under this agreement. We have confidence that our technology, strategic initiatives, deep pipeline, marketing expertise and compelling practice economics will continue to drive robust top-line growth."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
ZELTIQ has supplemented its GAAP net income (loss) with a non-GAAP measure of Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding the performance of ZELTIQ, facilitates a more meaningful comparison of results for current periods with previous operating results, and assists management in analyzing future trends, making strategic and business decisions and establishing internal budgets and forecasts. A reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss) in the most directly comparable GAAP measure is provided in the schedule below.
There are limitations in using this non-GAAP financial measure because it is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. Investors and potential investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures only in conjunction with ZELTIQ's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measure provided in the schedule below.
