EXHIBIT  99.1


STRATA Skin Sciences Reports First Quarter 2021 Financial Results
 

Horsham, Pa, May 12, 2021 —STRATA Skin Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: SSKN), 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 ended March 31, 2021.
 
Recent Highlights
Total revenue for the first quarter of 2021 was $5.8 million, a decrease of 13.4% as compared to the first quarter of 2020
-
     Recurring revenue for the first quarter of 2021 was $4.7 million, a 17.9% decrease over the first quarter of 2020
-
     Gross domestic recurring billings were $4.6 million, a 6.8% decrease over the first quarter 2020 (See Reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures below)
Total gross margins in the first quarter of 2021 were 63.7%, a 1.7% decrease over first quarter 2020
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at March 31, 2021 were $17.5 million down from 18.1 million at December 31, 2020
Concluded the quarter with a global recurring revenue installed base of 871 XTRAC devices, an increase of 11 from December 31, 2020
Results of a study on patients with refractory vitiligo published in the Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venerology demonstrated satisfactory regimentation in five treatments using the XTRAC excimer laser
Appointed William D. Humphries to the Company’s Board of Directors

“Our first quarter results reflected the continued impact of COVID-19 on dermatology offices, where staffing challenges persisted, patient access remained curtailed and patient willingness to return to offices for a full treatment regimen was weak. In addition, we had an unfavorable impact of deferred revenue. Internationally, certain sales and placements came in too late to ship in time to be recognized in the first quarter. As a result, the revenue and placements will be recognized in the second quarter,” said Robert J. Moccia, Chief Executive Officer of STRATA Skin Sciences.

“Since joining the Company in March, I have spent much of my time meeting and speaking with our territory managers and customers. These meetings have reinforced my belief that XTRAC delivers one of the safest, most effective treatments available in the market today for treating psoriasis, vitiligo and various other skin conditions. With the vaccine rollout well under way and states easing COVID-19 restrictions, I see an exciting opportunity to re-engage with dormant accounts and expand dermatology group placements,” continued Mr. Moccia. “Commercial execution and pursuing opportunities to drive recurring billing revenue is our primary focus in 2021. Currently, we are evaluating our operating profile to develop and promote key strategies that will enable us to capture the greatest market share and drive further utilization in our partner clinics.”

First Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Revenues for the first quarter of 2021 were $5.8 million, as compared to revenues of $6.7 million for the first quarter of 2020. Recurring revenues for the first quarter of 2021 were $4.7 million, as compared to recurring revenues of $5.7 million for the first quarter of 2020. Equipment revenues were $1.1 million for the first quarter of 2021, as compared to $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2020.



Gross profit for the first quarter of 2021 was $3.7 million, or 63.7% of revenues, as compared to $4.4 million, or 65.4% of revenues, for the first quarter of 2020. Gross profit on recurring revenues for the first quarter of 2021 was $3.2 million, or 67.9% of revenues, as compared to $3.9 million, or 68.4% of revenues, for the first quarter of 2020. The decrease in gross profit is the result of lower sales and the unfavorable impact of $0.8 million in deferred revenue, as compared to the first quarter of 2020, partially offset by lower depreciation expense.

Engineering and product development costs for the first quarter of 2021 were $0.4 million, as compared to $0.3 million for the first quarter of 2020 as a result of certain engineering projects. Selling and marketing costs for the first quarter of 2021 were $2.9 million, as compared to $3.0 million for the first quarter of 2020, primarily as a result of lower trade show costs and travel, partially offset by higher compensation and consulting costs. General and administrative costs for the first quarter of 2021 were $2.8 million, as compared to $2.1 million for the first quarter of 2020, as a result of the CEO transition in the first quarter of 2021 including accruals for severance, recruiting fees and stock compensation.

Net loss for first quarter 2021 was $2.4 million, or a loss of $0.07 per basic and diluted common share, as compared to the net loss for the first quarter of 2020 of $1.0 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):
