SSKN

Conference call and webcast, today at 8:30 am Eastern Time

HORSHAM, Pa., April 02, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- STRATA Skin Sciences (NASDAQ:SSKN) (“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 fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.

Full Year and Recent Corporate Highlights

  • Total revenues for the year were $31.4 million, an increase of 2.4% over 2016 revenues.
  • Installed base of XTRAC systems in the U.S. was 753 systems at year end, down 3% from 775 at the end of 2016, as a result of the Company’s strategy to redeploy underperforming XTRAC systems in more productive accounts. 
  • Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA increased by 67% to $4.8 million in 2017 versus $2.9 million in 2016
  • Revenues for the first quarter ended March 31, 2018 will be in the range of approximately $6.3 million to $6.6 million, down 7 to 11% over first quarter 2017 revenues.

“We made several important strategic decisions in 2017 that position STRATA for the long term,” stated Frank McCaney, President and Chief Executive Officer of STRATA. “These include the simplification of our balance sheet with the exchange of convertible debt for convertible preferred stock, which provides us with greater financial flexibility.”

Full Year 2017 Financial Results
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2017 were $31.4 million, an increase of 2.4%  compared with revenues of $30.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2016.  

Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $18.8 million or ($2.85) per diluted common share and ($1,061.25) per diluted Series C share (the significant loss reflects in part the conversion of debt to shares), which included other expense, net of $16.3 million, consisting of $4.6 million in interest expense, net, $0.1 million for the reduction in fair value of warrant liability, and loss on extinguishment of debentures of $11.8 million.  This compares with a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2016 of $3.3 million or ($3.77) per diluted share, which included other income, net of $0.5 million, consisting of $4.9 in interest expense, net, $5.4 million for the reduction in fair value of warrant liability, and no loss on the extinguishment of debentures.

Fourth Quarter 2017 Financial Results
Revenues for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2017 were $8.6 million, an increase of 3.2% compared with revenues of $8.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016. 

Net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 was $1.7 million or ($0.10) per diluted common share and ($36.36) per diluted Series C share, which included other expense, net of $0.3 million, consisting primarily of $0.3 million in interest expense, net. This compares with a net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 of $0.9 million or ($0.41) per diluted share, which included other expense, net of $1.2 million, consisting primarily of $1.3 million of interest expense, net.   

As of December 31, 2017, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $4.1 million, compared with $3.9 million as of December 31, 2016.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA

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:
