BeautyHealth completed the year with an estimated active install base of 34,735 units, as compared to 31,446 in the prior year, resulting in growth in consumable net sales. The decrease in overall revenue resulted from fewer units placed year over year, impacted by a challenging macroeconomic environment and the prior year international launch of the Syndeo Delivery System ("Syndeo"). The Company continues to evaluate its strategic footprint, exiting its third-party manufacturing arrangement in 2024, and is expected to convert its China market from a direct sales to distributor model in 2025.

Fourth Quarter Financial Highlights

Net sales were $83.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, a decrease of (13.8)%, compared to the prior year period ("Q4 2023"), due to lower delivery systems net sales.
Gross margin was 62.7% in Q4 2024 compared to 47.2% in Q4 2023. Adjusted gross margin was 67.1% in Q4 2024 compared to 54.6% in Q4 2023. The improvement in gross margin and adjusted gross margin was primarily due lower inventory related charges and favorable mix shift towards consumable net sales, partially offset by lower average selling price of equipment net sales.
Net loss was relatively flat at $(10.3) million in Q4 2024 compared to $(9.4) million in Q4 2023.
Adjusted EBITDA was $9.0 million in Q4 2024 compared to $3.4 million in Q4 2023. The improvement in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower operational spend and higher gross margin, partially offset by lower net sales.
The Company placed 1,087 delivery systems during the quarter compared to 1,551 in the prior year period, reflecting a challenging macroeconomic environment in addition to the prior year international launch of Syndeo.

Full Year Financial Highlights

Net sales were $334.3 million for 2024, a decrease of (16.0)%, compared to the prior year due to lower delivery systems net sales.
Gross margin was 54.5% in 2024 compared to 39.0% in 2023. The improvement in gross margin was primarily due to the absence of charges and inventory write-downs associated with the Syndeo Program of $65.2 million in 2023 and favorable mix shift towards consumable net sales, partially offset by higher inventory related charges and $8 million of manufacturing optimization related costs incurred in 2024.
Adjusted gross margin was relatively flat at 62.0% in 2024 compared to 62.8% in 2023.
Net loss was $(29.1) million in 2024 compared to net loss of $(100.1) million in 2023. The change compared to the prior year was primarily due to costs associated with the Syndeo Program in 2023.
Adjusted EBITDA was $12.3 million in 2024 compared to $24.3 million in 2023. The decline in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower net sales, partially offset by lower operational spend.
The Company placed 4,907 delivery systems in 2024 compared to 8,287 in the prior year, reflecting a challenging macroeconomic environment in addition to the prior year international launch of Syndeo.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash were approximately $370.1 million as of December 31, 2024 compared to approximately $523.0 million as of December 31, 2023. The change was primarily due to the repurchase of convertible senior notes during the first half of 2024.
The Company had approximately 7 million private placement warrants and approximately 124.9 million shares of Class A common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2024.

Conference Call

BeautyHealth will host a conference call on Wednesday, March 12, 2025, at 4:30 p.m. ET to review its fourth quarter and full year 2024 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, adjusted gross margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin 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, share-based compensation expense and other items such as manufacturing optimization costs; write-off of discontinued, excess and obsolete product; Syndeo Program; Syndeo product optimization logistics & service costs; and Go-to-Market restructuring. Adjusted gross margin represents adjusted gross profit as a percentage of net sales.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net loss excluding the effects of (benefit) expense for income taxes; depreciation expense; amortization expense; share-based compensation expense; interest expense; interest income; other (income) expense, net; change in fair value of warrant liabilities; foreign currency loss (gain), net; manufacturing optimization costs; write-off of discontinued, excess and obsolete product; Syndeo Program; Syndeo product optimization logistics & service costs; Go-to-Market restructuring; litigation related costs; transaction related costs; and severance, restructuring and other. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales.

The Company does not provide a reconciliation of its fiscal 2025 adjusted EBITDA guidance to net loss, 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 share-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 2025 adjusted EBITDA 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.
