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 ResultsRevenues 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 GuidanceAs 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 MeasuresTo
supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements,
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the Company
provides certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance,
including non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and Gross Domestic Recurring
Billings.
The Company’s reference to these non-GAAP measures should be
considered in addition to results prepared under current accounting
standards but is not a substitute for, nor superior to, GAAP
results. 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. In addition,
the Company believes non-GAAP measures enhance the comparability of
results against prior periods. Reconciliation of the GAAP measures
of net loss to non-GAAP measures included in this press release is

revenue from prior quarters recorded as revenue in the current
quarter, the deferral of revenue from the current quarter recorded
as revenue in future quarters, adjustments for co-pay and other
discounts. This excludes international recurring revenues.
