Insights

Venus Concept's Q2 2024 results paint a mixed picture. While revenue declined 17% year-over-year to $16.6 million, it met the company's expectations. The gross margin improvement to 71.5% and 13% reduction in operating expenses are positive signs of operational efficiency. However, the net loss of $20 million is concerning, largely due to a $10.9 million loss on debt extinguishment.

The debt-to-equity exchange transaction reduced debt significantly, improving the balance sheet. Cash burn reduction is noteworthy, with cash used in operations down 37% year-over-year. The company's focus on profitability and sustainable growth is evident, but challenges remain in the aesthetic capital equipment market due to macroeconomic headwinds.

Venus Concept's strategic moves in Q2 2024 show promise. The Venus Versa Pro system's approval in Canada expands their market reach. The new partnership with Skin Laundry for skin resurfacing and tightening devices could drive future growth. Their NEXThetics events gaining popularity indicates strong practitioner engagement, important for medical device companies.

However, the 30.3% decline in system sales is concerning, reflecting broader industry challenges. The shift towards leasing models (now 34% of system revenue) may provide more stable revenue but could impact short-term cash flow. The company's strategic exit from unprofitable markets shows a focus on sustainable growth, but it's impacting current revenues. Overall, Venus Concept is adapting to market challenges, but recovery may take time.

TORONTO, Aug. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Venus Concept Inc. (“Venus Concept” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: VERO), a global medical aesthetic technology leader, announced financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Second Quarter 2024 Summary & Recent Progress:

  • Company continues to execute against Transformational Plan
    • Cash used in operations of $1.3 million, down 37% year-over-year and down 54% quarter-over-quarter
  • Total revenue of $16.6 million, down 17% year-over-year, but in-line with second quarter estimate of at “least $16.5 million”.
    • Gross margin up 62 basis points year-over-year to 71.5%, combined with a 13% decrease in operating expenses year-over-year, drives 3% reduction in GAAP operating loss year-over-year
    • Adjusted EBITDA loss of $4.1 million, up 4% year-over-year, despite 17% revenue decline
  • On May 28, 2024, the Company announced a $35 million debt-to-equity exchange transaction, significantly reducing the Company’s debt balance and bringing the Company back into compliance with the Nasdaq Minimum Equity Requirement.
  • On June 3, 2024, the Company announced that it received a medical device license issued by Health Canada to market the Venus Versa Pro system in Canada.
  • On June 17, 2024, the Company announced that that it has entered a new strategic skin resurfacing and skin tightening device supply arrangement with Skin Laundry Holdings, Inc.
  • On June 27, 2024, the Company announced the successful completion of its NEXThetics events held across several major cities in North America. NEXThetics events bring together Venus Concept’s network of aesthetic leaders and practitioners and have seen a significant increase in popularity and attendance.

Management Commentary:

“Second quarter revenue results met the expectations we outlined on our first quarter report,” said Rajiv De Silva, Chief Executive Officer of Venus Concept. “Aesthetic capital equipment sales continue to be challenged by macroeconomic headwinds and as expected, our revenue results outside the U.S. continue to be impacted by the strategic initiatives to exit certain unprofitable direct market. However, we importantly continue to see evidence that our efforts to reposition the business over the last eighteen months have been proving successful. We are enhancing our cash flow profile – as evidenced by the 47% reduction year-over-year in cash used in operations over the first six months of 2024 - and remain focused on enhancing our balance sheet condition and enhancing the Company’s foundation to support long-term, sustainable, profitability and growth in the future.”

Total revenue for the second quarter of 2024 decreased $3.5 million, or 17%, to $16.6 million, compared to the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in total revenue, by region, was driven by a 29% decrease year-over-year in international revenue and a 5% decrease year-over-year in United States revenue. The decrease in total revenue, by product category, was driven by a 30% decrease in products – systems revenue and a 4% decrease in services revenue, offset partially by a 5% increase in lease revenue and a 2% increase in products - other revenue. The percentage of total systems revenue derived from the Company’s internal lease programs (Venus Prime and our legacy subscription model) was approximately 34% in the second quarter of 2024, compared to 26% in the prior year period.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2024 decreased $2.4 million, or 17%, to $11.8 million compared to the second quarter of 2023. The change in gross profit was primarily due to a decrease in revenue in our international markets driven by the accelerated exit from unprofitable direct markets and the effects of tighter third-party lending practices which negatively impacted capital equipment sales in both the U.S. and international markets. Gross margin was 71.5% of revenue, compared to 70.8% of revenue for the second quarter of 2023.

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2024 decreased $2.5 million, or 13%, to $17.4 million, compared to the second quarter of 2023. The change in total operating expenses was driven by a decrease of $1.3 million, or 16%, in selling and marketing expenses, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 10%, in general and administrative expenses and a decrease of $0.2 million, or 12%, in research and development expenses. Second quarter of 2024 general and administrative expenses included approximately $0.2 million of costs related to restructuring activities designed to improve the Company's operations and cost structure.

Operating loss for the second quarter of 2024 was $5.6 million, compared to operating loss of $5.8 million for the second quarter of 2023.

Net loss attributable to stockholders for the second quarter of 2024 was $20.0 million, or $3.05 per share, compared to net loss of $7.4 million, or $1.35 per share for the second quarter of 2023. Second quarter net loss attributable to stockholders includes a pre-tax loss on debt extinguishment of $10.9 million related to the debt-to-equity exchange transaction. Adjusted EBITDA loss for the second quarter of 2024 was $4.1 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA loss of $4.0 million for the second quarter of 2023.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $5.7 million and total debt obligations of approximately $46.0 million, compared to $5.4 million and $74.9 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2023.

Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Outlook:

Given the Company’s active dialogue with existing lenders and investors and the ongoing evaluation of strategic alternatives with various interested parties to maximize shareholder value, the Company is not providing full year 2024 financial guidance at this time. The Company expects total revenue for the three months ending September 30, 2024 of at least $17.0 million, representing a 3% decline year-over-year and a 3% increase quarter-over-quarter.

Management will host a conference call at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time on August 13, 2024 to discuss the results of the quarter with a question-and-answer session.

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 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.
