Management Commentary:
“We delivered second quarter revenue results at the high-end of our preliminary revenue range announced on July 15th,” said Domenic Serafino, Chief Executive Officer of Venus Concept. “As expected, our second quarter revenue performance was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 global pandemic, but we were encouraged by the improving business trends in key markets beginning in May, which resulted in a significant improvement in sales trends in the month of June, particularly in the U.S. and EMEA. Our new commercial targeting strategy, enhanced messaging for key product lines, including our Venus Bliss, and leveraging our unique pricing and payment options via our subscription model are providing us with early evidence that our strategic focus-areas represent multiple drivers of improving sales performance in the future. The strong second quarter results for our ARTAS iX® and NeoGraft hair restoration systems, including strong adoption of our ARTAS iX® by new customers, and, improving year-over-year procedure growth from existing customers, give us confidence that the new commercial strategy in the hair restoration market is on track as well.”
Mr. Serafino continued: “While the near-term outlook has been challenged by this global pandemic, we continue to believe the long-term opportunity remains extremely compelling for us as a leading player in both the global minimally invasive/non-invasive medical aesthetics market and the minimally invasive surgical hair restoration market. Importantly, our efforts to reduce the operating expense profile of the combined company are progressing well. We continue to expect our restructuring program, combined with previously announced synergies and cost reductions, to result in cost savings of approximately

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined as net loss income before foreign exchange loss, financial expenses, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and non-recurring items for a given period. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of our financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA along with other financial performance measures, including net income, and our financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently or not at all, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure. We understand that although Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, lenders and others in their evaluation of companies, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are: Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and although depreciation and amortization are a non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure for analyzing the performance of our core business because it facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period and company to company by backing out potential differences caused by changes in foreign exchange rates that impact financial assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, tax positions (such as the impact on periods or companies of changes in effective tax rates), the age and book depreciation of fixed assets (affecting relative depreciation expense), amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense (because it is a non-cash expense) and non-recurring items as explained below.
