Company to Host Conference Call and Webcast Today, November 14, 2023, at 4:30 PM ET

HORSHAM, Pa., Nov. 14, 2023 (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 financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Third Quarter 2023 and Recent Business Highlights:

  • Total Revenues were $8.9 million compared to $9.4 million for the third quarter of 2022, a total decrease of 6.0%.
  • Non-GAAP EBITDA improved to $1.0 million compared to $0.6 million for the third quarter of 2022.
  • Dr. Dolev Rafaeli, named new Vice-Chairman, President and CEO, effective October 31, 2023.

“I am pleased to have rejoined the STRATA Skin Sciences team,” commented Dr. Dolev Rafaeli, Vice-Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer. “As a significant and long-standing shareholder, I am committed to ensuring that we maximize the inherent growth potential in the business by re-establishing our previous successful initiatives focused on driving utilization and average revenue per device in our domestic recurring partnership model. As we move forward, we will seek to drive value with our clinical partners and solidify our continued leadership in the market.”

Third Quarter Financial Results
Revenues for the third quarter of 2023 were $8.9 million, compared to revenues of $9.4 million for the third quarter of 2022.

Global recurring revenues for the third quarter of 2023 were $5.3 million, compared to global recurring revenues of $5.8 million for the third quarter of 2022. Equipment revenues were $3.6 million for the third quarter of 2023, as compared to $3.6 million for the third quarter of 2022, staying flat.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2023 was $5.0 million, or 56% of revenues, compared to $5.8 million, or 62% of revenues, for the third quarter of 2022. The decrease in gross profit percentage was primarily the result of higher depreciation due to more XTRAC lasers and new TheraClear devices placed into service, higher material costs, and a change in product mix with lower dermatology recurring revenue procedures during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Selling and marketing costs for the third quarter of 2023 were $3.0 million, as compared to $3.8 million for the third quarter of 2022. The lower selling and marketing costs can be attributed to a reduction in advertising costs. General and administrative costs for the third quarter of 2023 were $2.3 million, as compared to $2.6 million for the third quarter of 2022. The reduction in general and administrative costs are primarily attributed to the decrease in employee-related expenses, such as salaries and stock-based compensation expense, and lower computer-related costs.

Other expense for the third quarter of 2023 was $0.4 million, compared to $0.2 million for the third quarter of 2022. The increase in other expenses for the third quarter was primarily attributed to the result of a higher interest rate on the variable rate Senior Term Facility entered into in September 2021.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2023 was $1.1 million, or a loss of $0.03 per basic and diluted common share, as compared to the net loss for the third quarter of 2022 of $1.0 million, or a net loss of $0.03 per basic and diluted common share.

For the period ending September 30, 2023, the company had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $8.5 million, compared to the balance on December 31, 2022, of $6.8 million. This increase was primarily attributed to additional proceeds received upon the refinancing of the Senior Term Facility on June 30, 2023, offset by an increase in inventories, and a decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

Suspension of Guidance
As a result of the recent management change, the company has suspended guidance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, and until further notice.

“We look forward to Dr. Dolev Rafaeli’s execution and proven business development experience on steering the Company back towards strong organic and inorganic revenue growth and profitability,” stated Dr. Uri Geiger, Chairman of the Board. “Given his successful track record, the Board is enthusiastic about the opportunities ahead.”

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of our current financial performance and to provide further information for comparative purposes.

Specifically, the Company believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to management and investors by isolating certain expenses, gains, and losses that may not be indicative of the Company’s core operating results and business outlook.
