Restoration Robotics^® Announces Preliminary Unaudited Fourth Quarter 2018 Revenue

Sold 17 ARTAS^® Systems; Anticipates Net Revenue of $6.4 to $6.7 Million

SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 7, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Restoration Robotics, Inc. (NASDAQ:HAIR), a global leader in robotic hair restoration, announced today preliminary unaudited revenue for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2018.

Preliminary unaudited consolidated net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2018 is expected to be in the range of $6.4 to $6.7 million, compared to $5.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2017, driven by the sale of 17 ARTAS^® Systems, 11 of which were sold in the U.S.

Ryan Rhodes, President and Chief Executive Officer of Restoration Robotics, stated, “I am very pleased with our fourth quarter performance and our ability to accelerate commercial momentum both domestically and abroad. During the quarter we sold 11 ARTAS iX™ systems in the U.S, the highest number of systems sold domestically in company history. Additionally, we shipped two ARTAS iX Systems to customers in Europe and sold four ARTAS 9x Systems in our international markets. Overall, we continue to see increased interest and growing demand for ARTAS technology. We look forward to continuing to drive our targeted commercial strategy even further in 2019.”

The preliminary unaudited revenue results included in this press release are prior to the completion of review and audit procedures by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and are therefore subject to adjustment. The Company plans to release its fourth quarter and full year 2018 financial results in early March 2019.
