Management Commentary:
“As previously announced, our third quarter
revenue results reflect better-than-expected performance in the
U.S. where sales increased 14% on a quarter-over-quarter basis,
offset by the impacts of our accelerated restructuring activities
in certain international markets,” said Rajiv De Silva, Chief
Executive Officer of Venus Concept. “We are pleased with the
progress we have made in our strategic turnaround plan in 2023. Our
restructuring efforts to reduce expenses are exceeding
expectations, and repositioning of the business in the US and
internationally supports growth in 2024. Our primary objective for
2023 has been to reduce cash burn by 50% or more year over year,
which we are still on track to achieve due to our cost
restructuring efforts. The recently announced debt restructuring
activities provide Venus Concept with substantial additional
liquidity to support maintenance of ongoing operations, execution
of our near-to-intermediate term strategic turnaround objectives
and funding of priority investments in key R&D initiatives. We
are committed to our stated priorities in 2023 to re-focusing the
business and repositioning Venus Concept to enhance the cash flow
profile of the Company and to accelerate the path to long-term,
sustainable, profitability and growth.”

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2023
decreased $3.9 million, or 18%, to $17.6 million, compared to the
third quarter of 2022. The decrease in total revenue, by region,
was driven by a 34% decrease year-over-year in international
revenue and a 5% decrease year-over-year in United States revenue.
Our international business was impacted by the Company's decision
to exit three unprofitable direct markets in the past year, as well
as general macroeconomic headwinds that impacted customer access to
capital. The decrease in total revenue, by product category, was
driven by a 39% decrease in lease revenue, a 20% decrease in
products - other revenue and a 6% decrease in products – systems
revenue, partially offset by a 15% increase in services revenue.
The percentage of total systems revenue derived from the Company’s
subscription model was approximately 31% in the third quarter of
2023, compared to 41% in the prior year period.
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2023
decreased $1.2 million, or 9%, to $12.2 million compared to the
third quarter of 2022. 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 as discussed
above. Gross margin was 69.2% of revenue, compared to 62.1% of
revenue for the third quarter of 2022. The change in gross margin
was primarily due to significant inventory write-offs in the third
quarter of 2022 which did not repeat this quarter, and a $0.8
million foreign exchange headwind as a result of certain foreign
currencies depreciating relative to the U.S. dollar. Excluding the
inventory write-offs in the third quarter of 2022 and the impact of
changes in foreign exchange, third quarter gross margin was 73.6%,
compared to 72.1% last year, an increase of 150 basis points
year-over-year.
Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2023
decreased $5.9 million, or 24%, to $18.9 million, compared to the
third quarter of 2022. The change in total operating expenses was
driven by a decrease of $2.5 million, or 26%, in selling and
marketing expenses, a decrease of $2.3 million, or 19%, in general
and administrative expenses and a decrease of $1.1 million, or 36%,
in research and development expenses. Third quarter of 2023 general
and administrative expenses included approximately $0.8 million of
costs related to restructuring activities designed to improve the
Company's operations and cost structure.
Operating loss for the third quarter of 2023 was
$6.8 million, compared to operating loss of $11.4 million for the
third quarter of 2022.
Net loss attributable to stockholders for the
third quarter of 2023 was $9.1 million, or $1.64 per share,
compared to net loss of $14.6 million, or $3.36 per share for the
third quarter of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA loss for the third quarter
of 2023 was $4.6 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA loss of $7.7
million for the third quarter of 2022.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had cash
and cash equivalents of $4.9 million and total debt obligations of
approximately $79.0 million, compared to $11.6 million and $77.7
million, respectively, as of December 31, 2022.
Fiscal Year 2023 Revenue Guidance:
The Company continues to expect total revenue
for the twelve months ending December 31, 2023 in the range of
$80.0 million to $82.0 million, compared to total revenue of $99.5
million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined as
net income (loss) before foreign exchange loss, financial expenses,
income tax expense (benefit), 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 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.

income to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented:

(1) For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the
inventory provision represents a strategic review of our product
offerings which culminated in a decision to discontinue production
and sale of certain models and component parts, resulting in an
inventory adjustment of $1.4 million.
(2) For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the
other adjustments primarily represent restructuring activities
designed to improve the Company's operations and cost structure.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the other
adjustments are represented by severance payments associated with a
workforce reduction in Venus Concept S.L. (Spain) and Venus Canada
of $0.7 million.
