STRATA Skin Sciences Reports First Quarter 2017 Financial Results

Licensing of Two New Products Demonstrates Execution on Corporate Strategy

Conference call and webcast, today at 4:30 pm Eastern Time

HORSHAM, Pa., May 11, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  (NASDAQ:SSKN) STRATA Skin Sciences, Inc. (“STRATA”) a medical technology company in Dermatology and Plastic Surgery dedicated to developing, commercializing and marketing innovative products for the treatment of dermatologic conditions, today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.

First Quarter and Recent Corporate Highlights

  • First quarter total revenues of $7.3 million, which included recurring XTRAC® revenue of $5.7 million, accounting for 78.8% of total revenues
  • Recurring XTRAC revenues were $5.7 million, up 3.7% year-over-year
  • Installed base of XTRAC systems in the U.S. expands to 791 systems placed, up 8.4% from 730 at the end of the first quarter 2016

“The first quarter saw continued progress on the commercial front as we continue to position STRATA for further growth. Both recurring revenues and XTRAC placements were up year over year.  Business development is a key element of our corporate strategy and we were pleased to announce in March that STRATA is now the exclusive U.S. distributor of the differentiated best-in-class Ellipse line of lasers, with the Nordlys representing the latest in non-ablative fractionated laser technology,” stated Frank McCaney, President and Chief Executive Officer of STRATA. “This agreement is consistent with our goal to become The Dermatological and Aesthetic Practice Partner, leveraging our existing infrastructure, including our current group of sales representatives, strong field service group, reimbursement capabilities and call center.  We expect that the Nordlys laser will have an immediate positive impact on STRATA’s financials and will contribute to overall sales and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for the balance of 2017.”

“We have also added the STRATAPEN Product, which we have licensed from an OEM.  This is a highly advantaged aesthetic dermatological product that is specifically developed for micropigmentation,” added Mr. McCaney. “The STRATAPEN utilizes the patent-pending Biolock™ cartridge, which greatly reduces the risk of contamination, and also the patent-pending removable and autoclavable nosecone, further improving safety. Both the Nordlys laser and the STRATAPEN are excellent complements to our XTRAC system, where we continue to fine tune our business with the goal of better serving the needs of our customers and the marketplace.”

Reported Financial Results
Revenues for the first quarter of 2017 were $7.3 million compared with revenues for the first quarter of 2016 of $7.6 million.

Net loss for the first quarter of 2017 was $2.2 million or ($1.03) per diluted share, which included other expense of $0.1 million for the change in fair value of warrant liability, $1.3 million in interest expense, $1.5 million in depreciation and amortization expenses and $0.1 million for income tax expense. This compares with a net loss for the first quarter of 2016 of $1.4 million or ($1.30) per diluted share, which included other income of $2.0 million for the change in fair value of warrant liability, $1.2 million in interest expense and $1.7 million in depreciation and amortization expenses.

As of March 31, 2017, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3.8 million, compared with $3.9 million as of December 31, 2016.

Non-GAAP Measures

To 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. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA.

The Company’s reference to these non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared under current accounting standards, but are 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 both 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 to the most directly comparable GAAP measure of all non-GAAP measures included in this press release is as follows:
