| Statement |
|---|
| Our consumables segment represents a growing predictable and high-margin recurring revenue stream |
| Third, they recognize and value the unmatched efficacy of our treatment and the power of the HydraFacial brand to bring consumers through their doors |
| We grew Bluemercury to nearly 200 stores with 2 private label skin care brands, a healthy e-commerce business and strong loyalty penetration before a strategic sale to Macy's in 2015 |
| While my passion for the sector and knowledge of products and formulations served me well, it was operational excellence, financial rigor and a clear commitment to the consumer that made Bluemercury a success |
| Revenue was driven by steady consumables growth in the Americas and strong international performance with nearly 43% of sales coming from APAC and EMEA |
| The performance was driven by strong delivery system placements, reflecting our success in penetrating the market and the significant potential to grow our nascent presence as well as a partial COVID shutdown during a portion of Q4 2022 |
| The levers that we expect to improve upon over the long term is we think there's opportunity in gross margin |
| We have a magnificent brand, terrific products, strong partner and customer relationships, healthy underlying market trends and ample resources |
| So as we continue to grow our systems base in APAC, we believe there is a large opportunity to drive consumable revenue in the future |
| As we continue to build and rebuild the foundation of BeautyHealth, I'm confident we will soon be able to leverage the opportunities ahead of us to deliver long-term value to our employees, partners and shareholders |
| We see this in the steady consumables revenue growth in the Americas and in indicator metrics like Google Search trends which show an uptick in interest globally of 21% in 2023 versus 2022 |
| Increasing penetration in existing markets to achieve scale is something we are confident we can execute on |
| We see an attractive opportunity around consumables to drive further penetration |
| Our training and education team is best-in-class, supporting providers in their craft and helping them to build profitable revenue streams for their businesses |
| We will bring increased transparency and consistency to our financial results through improved forecasting |
| And so that's something that we are -- feel like we have time and are in a good position where we sit today |
| I'm excited about the opportunity and I'm confident about the future of the company |
| We also see a clear opportunity to grow our device installed base by leveraging the specific value we bring to each provider channel, whether in medical practices, med spas, hospitality locations, retail or with single-room [esthes] (ph) |
| It's better than 1.0 and 2.0 |
| We plan to increase consumable sales per system, stabilize the business and complete our Syndeo 3.0 replacement program and drive profitability |
| Consumable sales increased 19.9% year-over-year to $191.4 million, reflecting continued and growing consumer interest in the HydraFacial treatments |
| Total active machines in the field increased 24% to 31,446 units over the course of the year as we grew our provider base |
| We will drive sales excellence, operational excellence and financial discipline |
| EMEA Q4 revenue grew 8.4% year-over-year to $18.8 million, with strength coming from consumables |
| These 3 near-term priorities, sales excellence, operational excellence and financial discipline, are foundational and necessary to operate from a position of strength and leverage the opportunities in front of us |
| The early feedback regarding Syndeo 3.0 is positive |
| But -- so I would say with Syndeo 3.0, we're encouraged by what we're seeing |
| For the full year, we expect to improve slightly year-over-year with supply chain efficiencies later in 2024, partially offset by pricing pressure as we transition away from our trade-up program and support our sales efforts with lower average selling prices for our systems |
| For the quarter, APAC revenue grew 17.3% year-over-year to $18.7 million |
| We are fortunate to have an experienced and tenured sales team who have developed deep relationships with our providers |
| Statement |
|---|
| We saw Americas revenue decline 8.5% year-over-year, primarily driven by soft device sales due to customer caution around Syndeo and higher interest rates |
| Normalizing for non-cash items and certain discrete charges, our adjusted EBITDA was $3.4 million, primarily due to gross margin pressure |
| Revenue for the quarter declined by 1.3% year-over-year to $96.8 million |
| On the system side, we saw a 12% decline year-over-year in revenue to $44.6 million, driven by lower system sales in both the Americas and EMEA, partially offset by 66% revenue growth in APAC |
| APAC consumables revenue is down 30% year-over-year in the fourth quarter |
| As a result of some of the challenges with Syndeo, we saw pressure in the back half of '23 |
| It's important to note China consumable sales which are mostly sold directly, were down a couple of percentage points year-over-year |
| We expect revenue to be down year-over-year in the first quarter of 2024, primarily driven by soft equipment sales in the Americas as we regain provider confidence in Syndeo 3.0 with a return to growth in the back half of the year |
| These shows and events are important lead generators and training for the year but the spend versus revenue puts pressure on the quarter's EBITDA |
| That was primarily driven by softness in the distributor channel which we're in the process of -- there's often some timing relating to the distributor channel but we're in the process of addressing and researching right now |
| I mean the Syndeo 3.0 issues aren't the same issues we've had in the past, right? We have some noise issues, some issues with ship -- with the Syndeos getting damaged in shipping |
| Just first, your worldwide consoles, I believe they were down roughly 35% year-over-year |
| Additionally, we expect to face a challenging year-over-year comparison for system sales in APAC and EMEA in the first half of 2024 with our international Syndeo launch in the 2023 comparable period |
| I think for us, some of the challenges we saw in equipment sales really had to do with some of the issues we had with Syndeo overall |
| Global equipment revenue was relatively flat for the year, up 0.2%, primarily driven by lower provider adoption in the Americas due to Syndeo challenges |
| The primary drivers of the decline on a GAAP basis were the Syndeo 3.0 program and higher charges related to other discontinued excess and obsolete products |
| Adjusted EBITDA came in at $24.3 million or 6.1% of revenue versus $46.1 million or 12.6% of revenue in the prior year, representing a 47.2% decline year-over-year |
| Some of the -- there has been some aesthetic like problems with scratches or issues with the machine itself |
| So there's a couple of anticipated drivers of pressure in the first half of the year that I can talk through |
| So it's creating noise |
