BeautyHealth Reports Full Year and Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results


The Beauty Health Company (NASDAQ: SKIN) ("BeautyHealth"), home to flagship brand Hydrafacial, today announced financial results for the full year and fourth quarter ended December 31, 2023. Full year net sales of $398.0 million increased 8.8% relative to 2022, with fourth quarter net sales of $96.8 million decreasing (1.3)% year-over-year. Fourth quarter results reflect lower equipment sales in the Americas, substantially offset by steady growth in Americas consumables net sales and strong device placement in Asia-Pacific.

"To close 2023, we delivered fourth quarter financial results consistent with the expectations we outlined on our last earnings call," said BeautyHealth Chief Executive Officer Marla Beck. "While the results reflect a necessary operational reset, the underlying strength of our business remains?a clinically proven treatment, passionate provider community, unique partner portfolio, beloved consumer brand, and growing addressable market. I am confident in the still-untapped global opportunity for BeautyHealth."

Conference Call

BeautyHealth will host a conference call on Tuesday, March 12, 2024, at 4:30 p.m. ET to review its fourth quarter and full year 2023 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 and adjusted EBITDA 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 write-off of discontinued, excess and obsolete product, Syndeo Program and Syndeo product optimization logistics & service costs.

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

The Company does not provide a reconciliation of its fiscal 2023 adjusted EBITDA margin guidance to net (loss) income, 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 2023 adjusted EBITDA margin 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.
