"Despite the ongoing challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the developments in the quarter and more recently position BIOLASE for success," commented Todd Norbe, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our Epic Hygiene dental laser meets the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines to minimize the risk of COVID-19, while our all-tissue Waterlase dental lasers already create 98% less aerosol than traditional dental handpieces, meeting the American Dental Association’s recommendation of reduced aerosol production to limit the spread of infectious pathogens, such as COVID-19. I believe these unique attributes will meet the rising needs of dentists and patients and will contribute significantly to our success as dental practices reopen and procedures return to pre-COVID-19 levels.
"I also believe the oversubscribed rights offering we recently completed and the registered direct offering in June demonstrate investor confidence in our growth strategy. We believe our current liquidity position and our cost containment efforts provide us with sufficient capital to effectively execute on our growth strategy."
