Insights

The reported financial results for Cutera, Inc. reflect a significant revenue decline of 26% for the fourth quarter and 16% for the full year compared to the previous year. This downturn is primarily attributed to a decrease in capital equipment systems sales, which plummeted by 32% and a lesser yet notable decline in recurring revenue streams, which fell by 16%. These figures are concerning as they may indicate a shrinking demand for Cutera's products or potential saturation in the aesthetic and dermatology market segments.

The company's gross profit margins have also taken a substantial hit, dropping from over 55% to approximately 28% for the full year. This reduction in profitability could be due to several factors such as increased production costs, pricing pressures, or inventory write-downs. The latter is evidenced by the reported non-cash expense related to excess and obsolete inventory, which negatively impacted gross profit by approximately $8.4 million, or 16.9% of revenue, for the fourth quarter.

Investors should note the company's operational restructuring, which, while potentially beneficial in the long run, has likely contributed to short-term financial stress. The restructuring includes a reduction in workforce, bringing manufacturing operations in-house and transitioning the Skincare business. These changes could result in cost savings and improved operational efficiency in future periods.

From a financial perspective, Cutera's cash and marketable securities position decreased notably from $317.3 million at the end of 2022 to $143.6 million at the end of 2023. This reduction in liquidity could raise concerns about the company's cash burn rate and its ability to sustain operations without additional financing, especially in light of the projected revenue decline for 2024.

The company forecasts a further decrease in annual revenue for 2024, with expectations ranging from $160 million to $170 million. This outlook suggests that management anticipates continued challenges in the market or within the company's operational framework. The projected ending cash and marketable securities for 2024 between $55 million to $60 million may also indicate significant cash usage, which could be a red flag for investors regarding the company's financial stability.

Despite these challenges, the limited commercial release of the enhanced AviClear product could represent a potential growth opportunity. However, with only $3.9 million in revenue for the fourth quarter, it remains to be seen whether this product can significantly contribute to a turnaround in the company's financial performance.

The financial results for Cutera, Inc. suggest potential strategic misalignments or market pressures within the medical aesthetics industry. The substantial decline in capital equipment sales could be indicative of increased competition or a shift in consumer preferences towards non-invasive procedures that do not require costly equipment. Additionally, the decline in recurring revenue streams might hint at a saturation of after-sales service contracts or consumables, which are typically stable revenue sources for medical device companies.

The restructuring efforts, including the in-house transition of critical manufacturing operations, may be an attempt to regain control over production costs and improve profit margins. However, such transitions can be complex and may not yield immediate financial benefits. The decrease in gross profit margin is particularly stark and suggests that the company's cost of goods sold has risen or that it has had to offer substantial discounts to maintain sales volumes.

With the medical device industry being highly regulated and competitive, Cutera's ability to navigate these challenges while investing in innovation, such as the AviClear product, will be important to its long-term success. Stakeholders should closely monitor the company's strategic initiatives and market response to new product offerings.

BRISBANE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cutera, Inc. (Nasdaq: CUTR) (“Cutera” or the “Company”), a leading provider of aesthetic and dermatology solutions, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2023.

*Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this press release, to supplement the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP, management has disclosed certain non-GAAP financial measures for gross margin, gross margin rate, and operating income. Non-GAAP adjustments include depreciation and amortization including contract acquisition costs, stock-based compensation, enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) implementation costs, certain legal and litigation costs, executive and other non-recurring severance costs, retention plan costs, expenses related to manufacturing agreement termination, and Board of Director legal and advisory fees. From time to time in the future, there may be other items that the Company may exclude if the Company believes that doing so is consistent with the goal of providing useful information to investors and management. The Company has provided a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure used in this earnings release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

The Company defines non-GAAP financial measure, also commonly known as adjusted EBITDA, as operating income before depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, ERP implementation costs, costs related to certain litigation, executive and non-recurring severance costs, retention plan costs, expenses related to manufacturing agreement termination, and legal and advisory fees related to litigation and shareholder activism.

Company management uses non-GAAP measures as aids in monitoring the Company’s ongoing financial performance from quarter to quarter, and year to year, and for benchmarking against other similar companies. Non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, the operating performance measure as prescribed by GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures for the statement of operations and net income per share exclude the following:

Depreciation and amortization, including contract acquisition costs. The Company has excluded depreciation and amortization expense in calculating its non-GAAP operating expenses and net income measures. Depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges to current operations;

Stock-based compensation. The Company has excluded the effect of stock-based compensation expenses in calculating its non-GAAP operating expenses and net income measures. Although stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to the Company's employees, the Company continues to evaluate its business performance excluding stock-based compensation expenses. The Company records stock-based compensation expenses related to grants of options, employee stock purchase plans, and performance and restricted stock. Depending upon the size, timing, and terms of the grants, this expense may vary significantly but will recur in future periods. The Company believes that excluding stock-based compensation better allows for comparisons to its peer companies;

ERP implementation costs. The Company has excluded ERP system costs related to direct and incremental costs incurred in connection with its multi-phase implementation of a new ERP solution and the related technology infrastructure costs. The Company excludes these costs because it believes that these items do not reflect future operating expenses and will be inconsistent in amounts and frequency making it difficult to contribute to a meaningful evaluation of the Company’s operating performance;

Certain legal and litigation costs. The Company has excluded costs incurred related to its litigation against Lutronic Aesthetics, which is not part of the Company’s ordinary course of business. The Company’s complaint against Lutronic alleges misappropriation of trade secrets, violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), interference with contractual relations and other claims. The Company excludes these costs because this litigation is a result of a discrete event that was not part of the Company’s business strategy, but has a significant effect on the results of operations. Its costs are incidental to and do not reflect the efficiencies and effectiveness of the Company’s core operations;

Executive and other non-recurring severance costs. The Company has excluded costs associated with restructuring activities and the separation of its officers and other executives in calculating its non-GAAP operating expenses and non-GAAP Operating Income. The Company has excluded restructuring costs because a restructuring represents a discrete event that signifies a change in the Company’s strategy, but its costs are not indicative of the ongoing financial performance of the business. The Company excludes executive separation costs because executive separations are unpredictable and not part of the Company’s business strategy but could have a significant impact on the results of operation;

Retention plan costs. The Company has excluded the expense related to a retention plan implemented in April 2023. Approximately $11 million was made available to sales personnel and key employees and will be paid in quarterly installments through October 2024. The Company has excluded expense related to this retention plan as such costs are not considered part of ongoing operations;

Expenses related to manufacturing agreement termination. The Company has excluded expenses related to a manufacturing agreement termination incurred as part of a settlement agreement related to the non-renewal of a manufacturing service agreement with Jabil Inc., a third-party manufacturing provider that manufactured excel V+ and AviClear devices for the Company. The Company excluded these costs because it believes that these items do not reflect future operating expenses and will be inconsistent in amounts and frequency making it difficult to contribute to a meaningful evaluation of the Company’s operating performance; and

Board of Director legal and advisory fees. The Company has excluded costs associated with the litigation and shareholder activism related to its 2023 annual meeting of shareholders. The Company excluded these costs as the costs do not relate to ongoing operations.

The Company believes that excluding all of the items above allows users of its financial statements to better review and assess both current and historical results of operations.
