PLEASANTON, CA (July 30, 2015) –ZELTIQ^®, (Nasdaq: ZLTQ) a medical technology company focused on developing and commercializing products utilizing its proprietary controlled-cooling technology platform, today announced financial results for the second quarter 2015.

Mark Foley, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “The second quarter of 2015 was an exceptionally strong quarter across all areas of our business. We reported over $64 million in revenue, up 37% year-over-year, driven by strong global system placements, an increase in account utilization and the launch of our CoolSmooth Pro applicator. We are very pleased with our second quarter results and the year-over-year growth we generated, particularly when normalized for the revenue and utilization associated with the launch of our initial CoolSmooth applicator in the second quarter of 2014. This performance has led us to once again increase our full year 2015 revenue guidance to a range of $245 million to $247 million.”

Mr. Foley continued, “As our sales and marketing teams broaden the adoption and utilization of CoolSculpting, our R&D team is working diligently to ensure we have a strong pipeline to further enhance our position as the market leader in non-invasive fat reduction and to expand the applicability of our cold-based platform. The recent success we have had with CoolSmooth PRO™ and the pending launch of CoolMini™ are two examples of our ability to successfully leverage our technology. The CoolSmooth PRO™ applicator has received exceptional feedback from physicians and patients who are very pleased with the shorter treatment times due to its ability to deliver colder temperatures. We are also on track to launch CoolMini™ during the fourth quarter, designed to treat the submental fat area, or “double chin”, and other smaller pockets of fat. Thus far, we have seen very favorable results in our clinical trials as well as excellent outcomes and feedback in our pilot launch in Europe. Of particular note, patients are reporting very high satisfaction following just one or two treatments with little, to no, discomfort or downtime. We are incredibly excited about the significant new market opportunity the submental category provides, as well as its ability to bring new patients into the aesthetic channel. Lastly, we just completed a 3 month brand awareness pilot program across 4 U.S. cities and we are encouraged by the early results. This direct-to-consumer advertising pilot materially increased both the traffic to our website and actual patient treatments in these markets. We believe the ongoing

success of our marketing, practice enhancement and brand awareness initiatives, combined with our R&D strategy to leverage our unique, proprietary technology, will lead to sustained high growth and further extend our leadership position in the non-invasive fat reduction category.”

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, and provides an additional 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 the ZELTIQ’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measure provided in the schedule below.

About ZELTIQ^® Aesthetics

ZELTIQ is a medical technology company focused on developing and commercializing products utilizing its proprietary controlled-cooling technology platform. ZELTIQ’s first commercial product, the CoolSculpting^® System, is designed to selectively reduce stubborn fat bulges. CoolSculpting is based on the scientific principle that fat cells are more sensitive to cold than the overlying skin and surrounding tissues. It utilizes patented technology of precisely controlled cooling to reduce the temperature of fat cells in the treated area, which is intended to cause fat cell elimination through a natural biological process known as apoptosis. ZELTIQ developed CoolSculpting to safely, noticeably, and measurably reduce the fat layer.
