LAKE FOREST, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--STAAR Surgical Company (NASDAQ: STAA), the global leader in phakic IOLs with the EVO family of Implantable Collamer® Lenses (EVO ICL™) for vision correction, today announced that it will release financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 27, 2024, on or about Wednesday, February 19 after the market close.
“Our industry-leading EVO ICL technology and market-building initiatives supported our ability to achieve double-digit year-over-year ICL sales growth globally in fiscal 2024, with the exception of China,” said Tom Frinzi, Chair of the Board and CEO of STAAR Surgical. “The pervasive and well-documented economic conditions and lower levels of consumer confidence persist in China. Dynamics during the Chinese New Year in late January is historically a good proxy for consumer confidence and demand. It could be an important indicator this year, especially in light of the recent stimulus, which will further inform our fiscal 2025 outlook. We look forward to providing our 2024 results and 2025 outlook during our upcoming earnings call.”
