BeautyHealth Reports Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

LONG BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Beauty Health Company (NASDAQ: SKIN) ("BeautyHealth"), home to flagship brand Hydrafacial, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024 ("Q2 2024"). For the quarter, net sales of $90.6 million decreased (22.9)% relative to the same period in 2023. Second quarter results reflect lower equipment sales partially offset by steady growth in consumables net sales.

"Our second quarter results reflect continued demand for Hydrafacial treatments with growth in consumables sales, offset by a slower-than-expected recovery in device sales, as macroeconomic pressures persist, particularly outside the U.S.," said BeautyHealth Chief Executive Officer Marla Beck. "We have taken aggressive action to address these challenges, including offering our providers lower-priced device options and additional financing solutions. We also continue to make significant progress on our strategic priorities, including enhancing our sales capabilities, driving operational excellence through quality and process improvements, and gaining further expense leverage to improve profitability. Excluding the impact of unanticipated write-off charges related to our continued work in addressing inventory issues, Adjusted EBITDA would have been well-above the high-end of our guidance range, as we continue to drive efficiency and substantial expense savings across the business."

Ms. Beck added, "Although the impact of marketplace dynamics has changed our 2024 outlook, we remain confident in Hydrafacial's growth potential and are leaning in. Hydrafacial is the market leader and category creator for minimally invasive skin health treatments with a brand that consumers ask for by name across the globe. We are also a revenue generator for our providers, which is why we enjoy one of the largest install bases in the world. Our team is doing the work and making the decisions necessary to return to profitable growth as soon as possible. Looking ahead, we remain on plan to exit the year with greater sales efficacy, improved inventory, and lower costs. This will ensure we have the capacity to introduce new product innovation and a more effective go-to-market strategy in the quarters ahead."

Financial Highlights

• Net sales were $90.6 million for the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of (22.9)%, compared to the prior year period ("Q2 2023"), due to lower delivery systems net sales.
• Gross margin was 45.2% in Q2 2024 compared to 57.8% in Q2 2023. Adjusted gross margin was 49.4% in Q2 2024 compared to 64.5% in Q2 2023. Gross margin and adjusted gross margin for 2024 were adversely impacted by higher inventory related charges of approximately $17 million, resulting primarily from inventory write-downs of 13.8 million.
• Net income was $0.2 million in Q2 2024 compared to net income of $3.4 million in Q2 2023. Net income in Q2 2024 was primarily due to the gain on repurchase of $117.3 million of principal amount of the Company's convertible senior notes in Q2 2024 partially offset by inventory related charges.
• Adjusted EBITDA loss was $(5.2) in Q2 2024 compared to adjusted EBITDA of $12.4 in Q2 2023, primarily due to inventory related charges and lower net sales.
• The Company placed 1,285 delivery systems during the quarter compared to 2,822 in the prior year period, reflecting a challenging macroeconomic environment, in addition to the international launch of the Syndeo Delivery System ("Syndeo") in the comparable 2023 period.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

• Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash were approximately $349.5 million as of June 30, 2024 compared to approximately $523.0 million as of December 31, 2023. The change was primarily due to the repurchase of convertible senior notes during the first half of 2024.
• The Company had approximately 7 million private placement warrants and approximately 124.0 million shares of Class A common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2024.
• During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased $117.3 million principal amount of its convertible senior notes at a weighted-average price equal to 84% for $98.3 million.

Conference Call

BeautyHealth will host a conference call on Thursday, August 8, 2024, at 4:30 p.m. ET to review its second quarter 2024 financial results. The call may be accessed via live webcast through the Events & Presentations page on our Investor Relations website at https://investors.beautyhealth.com. A replay of the conference call will be available approximately three hours after the conclusion of the call and can be accessed online at https://investors.beautyhealth.com.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to results determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), management utilizes certain non-GAAP financial measures such as adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin for purposes of evaluating ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes.

Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when reviewed collectively with the Company's GAAP financial information, provide useful supplemental information to investors in assessing the Company's operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP financial information or as an indication of operating performance or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP, and may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in its industry, as these other companies may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently, particularly related to unusual items.

Adjusted gross profit is gross profit excluding the effects of depreciation expense, amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense and other items such as the write-off of discontinued, excess and obsolete product and Syndeo product optimization logistics & service costs. Adjusted gross margin represents adjusted gross profit as a percentage of net sales.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) excluding the effects of benefit for income taxes; depreciation expense; amortization expense; stock-based compensation expense; interest expense; interest income; other income, net; change in fair value of warrant liability; foreign currency loss (gain), net; transaction related costs; write-off of discontinued, excess and obsolete product; litigation related costs; Syndeo product optimization logistics & service costs; and severance, restructuring and other. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales.

The Company does not provide a reconciliation of its fiscal 2024 adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income (loss), the most directly comparable forward looking GAAP financial measures, due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, which cannot be done without unreasonable efforts, including adjustments that could be made for changes in fair value of warrant liabilities, integration and acquisition-related expenses, amortization expenses, non-cash stock-based compensation, gains/losses on foreign currency, and other charges reflected in our reconciliation of historic numbers, the amount of which, based on historical experience, could be significant. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company's fiscal 2024 adjusted EBITDA guidance is merely an outlook and is not a guarantee of future performance. Stockholders should not rely or place an undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. See "Forward-Looking Statements" for additional information.
