(NASDAQ: SSKN) (“STRATA” or the “Company”), a medical technology company dedicated to developing, commercializing, and marketing innovative products for the treatment of dermatologic conditions, today announced financial results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2020.

-

Total gross margins in the fourth quarter of 2020 were 67.6%, a 1.2% decrease over the fourth quarter of 2019
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at December 31, 2020 were $18.1 million
Concluded the quarter with a global recurring revenue installed base of 860 XTRAC devices, an increase of 30 over the fourth quarter of 2019
Results of peer-reviewed study entitled, “Therapies for Psoriasis: Clinical and Economic Comparisons,” published in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology; XTRAC® was found to be most effective and economical treatment for plaque psoriasis compared to other therapies
Cigna, a global health company insuring over 20 million people in the United States, added medical coverage policy statements, effective September 2020, insuring the previously uncovered condition of vitiligo

“I am excited to join the STRATA Skin Sciences team. There is a large unmet need to treat the estimated 31 million people in the U.S. alone that are affected by psoriasis, vitiligo and atopic dermatitis. I believe that our XTRAC excimer laser is a clear solution for both patients and providers to safely and effectively treat these conditions,” said Bob Moccia, Chief Executive Officer of STRATA Skin Sciences. “While this past year has been unquestionably challenging, we plan to continue to focus on driving awareness and improved utilization with recurring revenue, which we believe will lead to durable growth over the long term.”

Fourth Quarter 2020 Financial Results
Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2020 were $6.7 million, as compared to revenues of $8.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. Global recurring revenues for the fourth quarter of 2020 were $5.1 million, as compared to global recurring revenues of $6.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. Equipment revenues were $1.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, as compared to $2.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. Revenues were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $4.5 million, or 67.6% of revenues, as compared to $6.1 million, or 68.8% of revenues, for the fourth quarter of 2019. Gross profit on recurring revenues for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $3.8 million, or 74.4% of revenues, as compared to $5.0 million, or 76.5% of revenues, for the fourth quarter of 2019. The decrease in gross profit is the result of lower sales due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and unapplied costs partially offset by lower depreciation on laser placements.




Selling and marketing costs for the fourth quarter of 2020 were $2.6 million, as compared to $3.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, primarily as a result of cost management due to lower revenue, lower tradeshow costs, travel, direct to consumer advertising and compensation. General and administrative costs for the fourth quarter of 2020 were $2.0 million, as compared to $2.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, as a result of lower legal, consulting and accounting fees.
 
Other expense for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $0.02 million, compared to $0.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, as a result of lower interest expense and additional cost in 2019 for the extinguishment of long-term debt.

Net loss for fourth quarter 2020 was $0.4 million, or a loss of $0.01 per basic and diluted common share, as compared to the net loss for the fourth quarter of 2019 of $0.5 million, or a net loss of $0.02 per basic and diluted common share.

Gross profit on recurring revenues for the full year 2020 was $11.6 million, or 66.5% of revenues, as compared to $16.7 million, or 70.3% of revenues, for the full year 2019. The decrease in gross profit is the result of lower sales due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and unapplied costs partially offset by lower depreciation on laser placements.

Selling and marketing costs for the full year 2020 were $9.0 million, as compared to $12.0 million for the full year 2019, primarily as a result of cost management due to lower revenue, lower tradeshow costs, travel, direct to consumer advertising and compensation. General and administrative costs for the full year 2020 were $7.9 million, as compared to $10.3 million for the full year 2019, as a result of lower legal, consulting and accounting fees.
 
Other expense for the full year 2020 was $0.06, compared to $0.9 for the full year 2019, as a result of higher interest income, lower interest expense and additional cost in 2019 for the extinguishment of long-term debt.

Reconciliation of 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, including non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and Gross Domestic Recurring Billings.
 
The Company’s reference to these non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared under current accounting standards, but is 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 of the GAAP measures of net loss to non-GAAP measures included in this press release is as follows (in thousands) (unaudited):
