EXHIBIT 99.1


STRATA Skin Sciences Reports Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results

HORSHAM, Pennsylvania, November 10, 2020 -- STRATA Skin Sciences, Inc. (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 announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.
 
Recent Highlights

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2020 was $5.6 million, a decrease of 25.0% over the third quarter of 2019
-
Recurring revenue for the third quarter of 2020 was $3.8 million, a 35.9% decrease over the third quarter of 2019 and a 37.2% increase over the second quarter of 2020
-
Gross domestic recurring billings were $4.7 million, a 155% increase over the second quarter 2020 (See Reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures below)
Total gross margins in the third quarter of 2020 were 57.5%, a 4.3% decrease over third quarter 2019
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at September 30, 2020 were $18.5 million
Concluded the quarter with a global recurring revenue installed base of 837 XTRAC devices, an increase of 31 from June 30, 2020
Results of our sponsored, 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, issued a new medical coverage policy insuring the previously uncovered condition of vitiligo

“We are pleased by our performance in the third quarter, underscored by strong growth in both recurring revenue and gross domestic recurring billings over the second quarter of 2020, commensurate with broader trends in regional recovery. We are confident that these results demonstrate the measures we implemented in 2018 – to strategically focus on driving recurring revenue – are resonating once again, picking up from the meaningful momentum that we built in 2019,” said Dr. Dolev Rafaeli, Chief Executive Officer of STRATA Skin Sciences.

Dr. Rafaeli continued, “While we are encouraged by these positive trends, we remain cautiously optimistic with variability expected from COVID-19 resurgences and rising cases across the U.S. and the world. Despite this continued level of uncertainty, we remain confident in the core strength of our business and the resiliency of our team and partner clinics. We believe that we are strategically poised to deliver durable growth over the long term, as we continue to lead the way for improved patient care with XTRAC.”

Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results
Revenues for the third quarter of 2020 were $5.6 million, as compared to revenues of $7.5 million for the third quarter of 2019. Recurring revenues for the third quarter of 2020 were $3.8 million, as compared to recurring revenues of $6.0 million for the third quarter of 2019. Equipment revenues were $1.8 million for the third quarter of 2020, as compared to $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2019.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2020 was $3.2 million, or 57.5% of revenues, as compared to $4.6 million, or 61.8% of revenues, for the third quarter of 2019. Gross profit on recurring revenues for the third quarter of 2020 was $2.5 million, or 64.3% of revenues, as compared to $4.0 million, or 67.2% of revenues, for the third quarter of 2019. The decrease in gross profit is the result of lower sales due to the COVID-19 pandemic, fixed costs in manufacturing and the impact of the change in deferred revenues.



Selling and marketing costs for the third quarter of 2020 were $2.1 million, as compared to $2.9 million for the third quarter of 2019, primarily as a result of lower tradeshow costs, travel costs, compensation costs and direct to consumer advertising costs. General and administrative costs for the third quarter of 2020 were $1.9 million, as compared to $2.2 million for the third quarter of 2019, as a result of lower legal, accounting and consulting costs partially offset by higher insurance and stock compensation costs. Other expense for the third quarter of 2020 was $21,000, compared to $153,000 for the third quarter of 2019, as a result of lower interest expense due to refinancing of the Company’s long-term debt in December 2019.

Net loss for third quarter 2020 was $1.3 million, or a loss of $0.04 per basic and diluted common share, as compared to the net loss for the third quarter of 2019 of $0.9 million, or a net loss of $0.03 per basic and diluted common share.

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 Gross 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):
