HORSHAM, Pa., Aug. 09, 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 second quarter ended June 30, 2023.
Second Quarter 2023 and Recent Business Highlights:
- Revenues in the second quarter of 2023 were $8.3 million, compared to $9.1 million for the second quarter of 2022.
- Secured up to an additional $12 million financing with MidCap Financial.
- Placed 73 TheraClear®X devices as of June 30, 2023.
"Throughout the second quarter, we achieved significant operational milestones, including the JCAD TheraClearX publication, the initiation of Dr. Ablon's clinical study for acne, and the placement of 73 TheraClearX devices. Regarding second quarter revenues, we expect international sales to improve sequentially, as anticipated sales during the second quarter have shifted into the second half of the year," stated Bob Moccia, Chief Executive Officer of STRATA Skin Sciences. "Furthermore, our recent financing will allow for the continued implementation of our strategic initiatives which are focused on profitable revenue growth."
Second Quarter Financial Results
Revenues for the second quarter of 2023 were $8.3 million, as compared to revenues of $9.1 million for the second quarter of 2022.
Global recurring revenues for the second quarter of 2023 were $5.5 million, as compared to global recurring revenues of $5.6 million for the second quarter of 2022. Equipment revenues were $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2023, as compared to $3.5 million for the second quarter of 2022, which included a $1.5 million one-time equipment sale to China.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2023 was $4.3 million, or 52.3% of revenues, as compared to $5.0 million, or 54.8% of revenues, for the second quarter of 2022. The decrease in gross profit percentage was primarily attributed to higher depreciation and material costs during the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Selling and marketing costs for the second quarter of 2023 were $3.4 million, as compared to $4.1 million for the second quarter of 2022. The lower selling and marketing costs can be attributed to a reduction in advertising costs. General and administrative costs for the second quarter of 2023 were $2.5 million, as compared to $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2022. The higher general and administrative costs are primarily attributed to higher legal and accounting and sales tax costs.
Other expense for the second quarter of 2023 was $1.2 million, as compared to $0.2 million for the second quarter of 2022. The increase in other expense for the second quarter was primarily attributed to a loss on debt extinguishment of $0.9 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.
Net loss for the second quarter of 2023 was $3.1 million, or a loss of $0.09 per basic and diluted common share, as compared to the net loss for the second quarter of 2022 of $1.9 million, or a net loss of $0.05 per basic and diluted common share.
For the period ending June 30, 2023, the company had a cash balance of $10.4 million. The increase in cash and cash equivalents is due to the financing with MidCap Financial. The new debt facility consists of a refinancing of the existing $8.0 million term loan and an additional $7.0 million tranche funded at closing. STRATA also has the option to receive an additional $5 million tranche in 2024.
For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, we are revising guidance in the range of $35 million to $38 million. This adjustment is attributed to a slowdown in capital expenditure spending and macroeconomic factors that have impacted our equipment sales. While the company recognizes potential upside within this guidance, the company believes this updated projection offers a conservative perspective on its anticipated performance, ensuring stakeholders have a balanced view of the year ahead.
