STRATA Skin Sciences Reports Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results
Conference call and webcast, today at 4:30 pm Eastern Time
Horsham, PA, August 10, 2017 — (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 June 30, 2017.
Second Quarter and Recent Corporate Highlights
| · | Second quarter total revenues were $8.7 million, up 12.5% year-over-year. |
| · | Recurring XTRAC® revenues were $6.2 million, or 71.3% of total revenues. Recurring XTRAC revenues were up 1.8% year-over-year. |
| · | Installed base of XTRAC systems in the U.S. expands to 795 systems placed, up 6.3% from 748 at the end of the second quarter 2016. |
"STRATA made solid progress in growing revenues in both the second quarter and first half of 2017, as we continue to position the company for further growth," stated Frank McCaney, President and Chief Executive Officer of STRATA. "We are continuing to focus on increasing the treatment volume of our existing systems by having our salesforce work with dermatologists to improve their understanding of the value of the XTRAC to their practices, including dermatological conditions that we have not promoted previously. Moreover, our operational initiatives are showing positive results as gross margins have improved by several percentage points."
"We are excited about the early acceptance of the STRATAPEN product, a differentiated aesthetic dermatological product that is specifically developed for micropigmentation, which incorporates a patent-pending technology cartridge which greatly reduces the risk of contamination," added Mr. McCaney. "The licensing 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."
"By working with debt holders, who are also significant shareholders in STRATA, we were pleased to announce, the pending exchange of our convertible debt obligations for new shares of convertible preferred stock," noted Mr. McCaney. "If approved by shareholders on September 14th, the exchange will have the benefits of reducing our interest expense by over $4 million over the next four years and improving our financial flexibility."
"We have had a much slower than anticipated start to our sub-distribution of the Nordlys system from Ellipse USA the distributor, due to contract issues. All of the parties involved, including Ellipse USA, Ellipse A/S the manufacturer, and STRATA met this week, to resolve those issues. While the signatures of the parties are still pending, the issues have been favorably resolved and STRATA will be dealing directly with Ellipse A/S going forward, which will enhance our ability to market and distribute the Nordlys system," added Mr. McCaney.
"Moreover, we are in the process of hiring or reassigning sales professionals to focus on selling this product line. We believe strongly in the commercial potential for the Nordlys system, but currently estimate that we are six months behind our previously announced sales projections."
As a result of the lower than expected Nordlys sales and the issues with the US distributor, Ellipse USA, STRATA is withdrawing its prior forecast of $4.0 to $4.5 million in sales for the device and the contribution of $500,000-600,000 in non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from April 2017 to the end of the calendar year.

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:
