Insights

STRATA shows modest revenue growth but significant operational improvements with expanding margins and reduced losses, though remains unprofitable.

STRATA Skin Sciences posted marginal revenue growth of 1% in Q1 2025, reaching $6.8 million. While top-line growth appears anemic, the company has made substantial operational improvements that deserve attention.

The most impressive metric is the gross margin expansion of 790 basis points year-over-year, reaching 53.5% compared to 45.6% in Q1 2024. This significant margin improvement demonstrates enhanced operational efficiency and potentially better pricing power.

Disciplined cost management is evident with operating expenses declining 5% to $5.7 million, with notable reductions across all categories � engineering & product development (down 60%), selling & marketing (down 1%), and general & administrative (down 5%).

These operational improvements have substantially narrowed STRATA's losses. Adjusted EBITDA improved by $732,000 to negative $547,000 (versus negative $1.3 million in Q1 2024), while net loss decreased to $2.4 million from $3.4 million a year earlier.

The company's XTRAC business shows a mixed performance. While domestic recurring revenue declined 4%, international growth of 27% helped offset this weakness. The average revenue per domestic XTRAC system increased 3% to $4,776, indicating better monetization of the installed base despite fewer treatments.

STRATA's international expansion is becoming increasingly important, now representing 36% of total revenue. With 8% growth in Q1 (following 41% growth in the previous quarter), this segment appears to be a key growth driver that could help stabilize the overall business.

With $7.8 million in cash and improved operating cash flow (though still negative at $550,000), the company has some financial runway, but continued progress toward profitability is essential for long-term sustainability.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

STRATA has determined to supplement its consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP�), presented elsewhere within this report, with certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP gross profit, which excludes the non-cash expense of amortization of acquired intangible assets classified as cost of revenues, and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, “Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization.�

These non-GAAP disclosures have limitations as an analytical tool, should not be viewed as a substitute for Gross Profit or Net Earnings (Loss) determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. STRATA considers these non-GAAP measures in addition to its results prepared under current accounting standards, but they are not a substitute for, nor superior to, U.S. GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance readers� overall understanding of STRATA’s current financial performance and to provide further information for comparative purposes. This supplemental presentation should not be construed as an inference that the Company's future results will be unaffected by similar adjustments to Gross Profit or Net Earnings (Loss) determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Specifically, STRATA believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to 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, STRATA believes non-GAAP measures enhance the comparability of results against prior periods.
