HORSHAM, Pa., Nov. 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- STRATA Skin Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: SSKN), a medical technology company dedicated to developing, commercializing and marketing innovative products for the treatment of dermatologic conditions, today announced strong financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

“We are encouraged by our strong revenues in the third quarter of 2022 of $9.4 million, reflecting a 22% increase over the prior year,” stated Bob Moccia, Chief Executive Officer of STRATA Skin Sciences. “This quarter’s success was due to our continued focus on driving XTRAC usage, refurbishing and redeploying underutilized devices, and our marketing efforts.”

Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Revenues for the third quarter of 2022 were $9.4 million, as compared to revenues of $7.7 million for the third quarter of 2021. Global recurring revenues for the third quarter of 2022 were $5.8 million, as compared to global recurring revenues of $5.7 million for the third quarter of 2021. Equipment revenues were $3.6 million for the third quarter of 2022, as compared to $2.0 million for the third quarter of 2021.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $1.1 million, as compared to $0.9 million for the third quarter of 2021.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2022 was $5.8 million, or 61.6% of revenues, as compared to $5.4 million, or 69.7% of revenues, for the third quarter of 2021. The decrease in gross profit percentage was primarily the result of an increase in amortization of intangible assets due to the Pharos and TheraClear asset acquisitions and a change in product mix with higher sales of dermatology procedures equipment, which has a lower margin than dermatology recurring procedures. Non-GAAP gross profit percentage, which excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets (as noted in the table below), was 67.0% compared to 71.6% in the third quarter of 2021.

Selling and marketing costs for the third quarter of 2022 were $3.8 million, as compared to $3.3 million for the third quarter of 2021. General and administrative costs for the third quarter of 2022 were $2.6 million, as compared to $2.2 million for the third quarter of 2021. Sales and marketing expenses were higher as compared to the same period in 2021 primarily due to investments made in sales and marketing and direct-to-consumer and dermatologist advertising, as well as increased head count and employee-related expenses.

Other expense for the third quarter of 2022 was $0.2 million as compared to $0.05 million for the third quarter of 2021.

Net loss for third quarter 2022 was $1.0 million, or a loss of $0.03 per basic and diluted common share, as compared to the net loss for the third quarter of 2021 of $0.5 million, or net loss of $0.02 per basic and diluted common share.

Financial Outlook
The company reiterated its full-year 2022 revenue guidance in the range of $33 million to $35 million.

Mr. Moccia commented, “We remain encouraged on the financial outlook of the business. This quarter, we announced the U.S. commercial launch of our TheraClear^®X acne treatment device, which we believe well positions the Company in the $5.5 billion acne treatment market with a potential for additional indications. We look forward to our continued momentum for the remainder of the year and believe we are on track to achieve strong, double-digit, year-over-year growth.”
