Strata Skin Sciences Inc (SSKN) Q1 2025 Earnings Call Highlights: Growth in Device Utilization ...
Release Date: May 14, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Strata Skin Sciences Inc (NASDAQ:SSKN) reported a fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth in average net recurring revenue per device in the US. The Elevate 360 consulting program has shown dramatic increases in device utilization within participating clinics. International sales achieved a strong quarter with $2.5 million in revenue, up 8% from the previous year. The company has successfully expanded its direct-to-consumer marketing efforts, resulting in increased patient appointments and higher device utilization. Gross margin improved to 53.5% in Q1 2025 from 45.6% in Q1 2024, driven by efficiency gains and the absence of a one-time inventory write-off. Total revenue for Q1 2025 was only up 1% compared to Q1 2024, indicating slow growth. The company faces potential negative impacts from tariffs on international sales, which could affect future revenue. Global recurring revenue for Q1 2025 was flat, only increasing by 1% compared to the prior year. The domestic recurring billing experienced headwinds due to changes in reimbursement rates and challenges in broader indication coverage. The Elevate 360 program requires significant time and resources from sales and clinical staff, limiting its rapid expansion. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with SSKN. Q: Could you discuss the pipeline and numbers for Theraclear placements and any learnings from the marketplace? A: Our install base is growing, with about 250 devices owned and 160 deployed. We've seen a 138% increase in patients going through our reimbursement support team compared to Q1 2024. We aim for full deployment of our install base by the end of 2025 or early 2026. Each patient is valued at $50 to $60 per treatment, with six treatments per patient. Once our current CapEx is fully utilized, we plan to increase CapEx investment. (Gleb, Unidentified_6) Q: Can you elaborate on utilization trends and the time it takes for an account to mature for Theraclear? A: One patient is worth approximately $300, with a break-even point for Theraclear at about $9,000 per year. This translates to roughly 50 procedures per quarter or 200 per year. In Q1, we had 1,000 patients, equating to 6,000 procedures, or 24,000 annually. (Gleb, Unidentified_6) Q: Is there any potential tariff impact on your domestic business? A: Our supply chain is minimally impacted by tariffs as we manufacture and source most materials locally. However, tariffs affect our international business, particularly in Asia, impacting new sales and service support due to increased costs for parts. (Gleb, Unidentified_6) Q: The install base for Eximer devices seems flat. Is the focus now on increasing utilization, or will you also sign new clinics? A: We plan to expand while continuing to remove non-performing accounts. Our Elevate 360 program helps clinics realize their potential, leading to increased productivity and redeployment of devices. We aim to grow both the install base and utilization. (Gleb, Unidentified_6) Q: How many clinics in your install base could benefit from the Elevate 360 program? A: We have 25 territory managers, each managing about 35-37 accounts. Currently, 100 accounts are part of Elevate 360, representing a 10% penetration. The program requires significant consulting work, but we plan to expand it further.

Braless DWTS star Brooks Nader suffers wardrobe malfunction as VERY flimsy dress falls open on red carpet
Dan Cain Published: Invalid Date, DANCING with the Stars' Brooks Nader suffered a wardrobe malfunction at a glam fashion event in Beverly Hills. The 29-year-old beauty looked stunning in a daring white dress on the red carpet at The Daily Front Row's 9th annual fashion awards. 7 7 But the braless effort didn't quite go to plan when the flimsy fabric briefly fell open to expose her nipple as she posed for photographs. Brooks, who wore her hair in a big ponytail, took it all in her stride and worked the camera like a pro, flashing sultry looks at the camera. The high profile event was also attended by pop star Chappell Roan, Tyra Banks and Selma Blair. Supermodel Tyra picked up the Fashion Icon award while American designer Betsey Johnson received the Lifetime Achievement Award. Earlier this month, The U.S. Sun revealed how Brooks 'blindsided' EX-boyfriend Gleb Savchenko with an abrupt breakup as 'revenge' for him dumping her last year. The lovebirds, who met as partners in the dance competition last Summer, have had a tumultuous relationship that ended as suddenly as it began. Gleb, 41, revealed that he learned about his apparent breakup through reports, and Brooks, 29, did not seem to give him a heads-up before the news went public. "Brooks was done with the relationship and I think she just wanted to get her lick back,' an insider claimed. The source continued: 'She went and ended it in the press without talking to him first. She blindsided him the same way she felt he blindsided her when they broke up last year. 'She wanted to get him back and she did, she played the long game. When they first started dating, she seemed way more into him than he did her. 'The roles switched after a couple months together - he became obsessed with her and she grew less interested. 'By the end of it, I think she got 'the ick' from him and that's something no one can recover from. 'Their time together ran its course but she's grateful it happened,' the source said. They added that there is 'no hate or ill-will' and that she is 'just done with him and the relationship and ready to move on.' In November, The U.S. Sun revealed that Gleb "dumped" Brooks over text message in a hasty move however, they soon rekindled their romance. 7 7 After reports surfaced that the couple had called it quits for good, the Russian dancer gave his candid reaction. 'I was surprised to learn through an article published today… that Brooks has ended our relationship. 'The last communication I received from her was a text on April 6th, asking to speak. I called her today in response, but she has not replied. 'The last time I saw Brooks was when I traveled to New York to support her and film an episode of her reality show on March 31st and April 1st. 'And she was sad to see me leave, but I had to return to DWTS to finish my four-month tour at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood,' he said in a statement to UsWeekly. While there's no apparent reason given for their breakup, People claimed that there was cheating involved - leading to Brooks calling it off. After weeks of teasing their romance, Gleb and Brooks, finally confirmed they were dating in a PDA-filled TikTok they posted back in September. The video sent the DWTS fanbase - and fellow cast mates - into a frenze after they flaunted themselves locking lips backstage. At the time, a source told The U.S. Sun that the Sports Illustrated model 'has really started to fall for Gleb.' 'Her friends haven't seen her this giddy or nervous around a guy before,' the insider exclusively told The U.S. Sun. However, the dancer's "playboy" reputation gave her loved ones concern as they began their relationship. 'They are trying to play it somewhat cool even though it's out there that they're a thing now but behind closed doors, they have so much passion. "But her friends are worried Gleb is just using her. In the past there's been rumors of him hooking up with his partner. And he does seem so charming and slick. 'Everyone around her is afraid and warning her that after the season ends, so will his interest in her but she isn't listening to anyone that he's such a playboy.' Brooks was previously married to businessman Billy Haire, 37. The former couple divorced last year after five years of marriage.

Brooks Nader shocks with outrageous nip slip at Fashion Los Angeles Awards after Gleb Savchenko split
Brooks Nader suffered a wild wardrobe malfunction when she attended the Fashion Los Angeles Awards this Thursday evening. The 29-year-old model was part of a parade of boldface names who trouped into the Beverly Hills Hotel for the star-studded knees-up. But she managed to steal the show for a perhaps unwelcome reason, as her structured dress drift forward at one point and exposed her left nipple. Even when the fabric was safely in place, the sizzling frock was a flesh-flashing affair that offered up a generous helping of sideboob and hinted at her taut midriff. Gathering her caramel locks back into a high, long ponytail, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue alum sharpened her unmistakable features with makeup. Her head-turning outing comes less than three weeks after confirmed she has split from Dancing With The Stars pro Gleb Savchenko, 41. Brooks and Gleb started dating while competing as a team on Dancing With The Stars last autumn, triggering allegations they were engaged in a 'showmance.' They briefly broke up late last year but rekindled their romance, until it emerged in early April that Brooks had decided to leave him. Brooks' sister Grace has accused Gleb of being unfaithful, which he staunchly denied, insisting he is 'not a cheater' or a 'f***boy,' via E! News. At Thursday's event, Brooks was accompanied by her sisters Grace, Mary and Sarah, with whom she is slated to star in a reality series for Hulu. Sarah happened to be wearing almost exactly the same dress as Brooks, although the former's was a pale purple while the latter's was off-white.

Brooks Nader puts on a racy display as she goes braless under a busty low-cut white bodysuit while shopping in Beverly Hills
Brooks Nader turned heads as she enjoyed a spot of shopping on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills on Monday. The model, 29, looked sensational as she went braless in a low-cut white bodysuit and blue denim low-rise jeans. She sported a pair of chunky grey trainers and toted her essentials in a leopard print Yves Saint Laurent tote bag, which retails for £4,120, as she made her way to the designer store. The former Sports Illustrated swimsuit model further accessorised her racy look with a pair of trendy black shades and gold hoop earrings. She styled her blonde locks in a voluminous blowout and wore a radiant makeup palette as she browsed items in the store. Brooks appeared in great spirits as she cosied up to a pal in the store while enjoying a glass of bubbly. It comes after she flaunted her incredible figure in a busty cream bikini while on the beach in Miami, Florida, earlier this month. The model looked in fine form as she walked along the shore with a refreshing drink in hand while soaking up the sun during the getaway with her girls. Brooks' trip came just days after she dumped her boyfriend and Dancing With The Stars pro Gleb Savchenko. The beauty certainly appeared to be putting her heartbreak behind her as she frolicked on the beach before posing up a storm in sizzling snaps. The beauty had the support of her sisters Sarah Jane, Grace Ann, and Mary Holland Nader as well as her pal Trinity Greene during the outing. All five ladies showcased their amazing bikini bodies as they strutted along the beach while supporting Brooks through her difficult time. Brooks oozed confidence while soaking up the sun with her pals, teaming the sizzling cream two-piece with a skimpy burgundy sarong. The TV personality added a selection of gold jewellery to her beach look, while her blonde locks were left to loosely fall over her shoulders. She certainly appeared to be kicking back and relaxing on her trip as she happily clutched onto a cocktail while making the most of the sunshine. It comes just after Brooks and her now ex-boyfriend Gleb Savchenko, 41, have once again gone their separate ways. confirmed that the couple, who rekindled their romance late last year following a brief split, have split up after Brooks pulled the plug on their relationship. Brooks and Gleb started dating after getting paired up together on Dancing With The Stars this past September and faced accusations of being in a showmance. Despite splitting in October, Gleb revealed to Extra that they still had plans to spend Thanksgiving together, and during the holiday they confirmed they were on-again with a video of them dancing and Gleb kissing her cheek. Their whirlwind romance saw the duo get matching tattoos on their abdomen (which Brooks revealed in mid-November that she was removing, telling TMZ she got the ink due to a 'lapse in judgement.'). When Brooks and Gleb were eliminated from DWTS, savage fans rejoiced and brought up the showmance accusations. 'Brooks & Gleb deserved to go home for their mediocrity and failed showmance that no one cared about.' 'BROOKS AND GLEB GOT ELIMINATED. WE WON. WE REALLY WON,' another wrote, while one added, 'yall hated brooks and glebs showmance THAT badly, huh?' Another fan shared, 'I'm not sure what Brooks was so shocked about being eliminated. Maybe if you and your partner spent more time actually dancing and stop with the fake showmance maybe just maybe you might learned something.' Brooks previously told exclusively that falling for each other on set was 'such a fun experience.' 'He's an amazing person and I'm really grateful that I was paired with him,' she gushed. 'I couldn't have pictured myself having a different partner, so that was great.' When asked to debunk the rumours that their relationship was just a showmance, the Sports Illustrated cover girl noted that 'there are levels to every relationship.' 'We were spending 6 to 7 hours a day, 7 days a week together rehearsing, so you obviously grow a bond with somebody over that period,' the bombshell explained. 'And, it's such an intimate thing, ballroom dancing. I'm really bad at faking things.' The romance came not long after Brooks split from her husband Billy Haire.
