Pedro Malha
President and Chief Executive Officer
Thank you, Norberto, and good afternoon, everybody. Let me start with a central message from this quarter. We are making progress on the things that matter the most, stabilizing the hydrofacial business and improving the economics of the company. and at the same time, we are developing new opportunities for growth. To be clear, the work isn't done. Equipment sales remain challenging, particularly in EMEA. And utilization in our install base is still below where it should be. But we are making good progress against our plan. And the third quarter results provide tangible evidence that we are operating from a stronger foundation than a year ago. Our third quarter revenue was $69.2 million towards the upper end of our $65 million to $70 million guidance range, meaning that our quarterly revenue declined 2.1% year over year, which is a meaningful improvement from the declines of 7.8% in the second quarter and 6.7% in the first quarter. And importantly, Global consumables returned to growth, up 1.2% on a year-over-year comparison, while equipment remained the primary headwind. But the rate of the overall revenue decline has moderated significantly. At the same time, the earnings profile of the business continues to improve. On a GAAP basis, growth margin was 68.2%, operating income was approximately $5 million and net loss was approximately $1 million. We delivered positive gap operating income for the second conservative quarter and adjusted gross margin was 71.8, our third consecutive quarter above 70%. Adjusted EBITDA was $13.4 million. Some of our quarterly bottom line outperformance benefit from one-time item and expense timing. But we are also seeing the benefits of better margins, tighter cost management, and a more efficient operating model. The priority now is to sustain those improvements while returning revenue to growth. Looking across our regions, we are seeing encouraging signs in the Americas. which grew 1.4%, with consumables growing 4.3% on a year-over-year comparison. EMEA remained challenged, with revenues dying approximately 12% on a year-over-year comparison, reflecting pressure in delivery systems, particularly in Germany, where execution has been below expectations. To address this, we have strengthened regional leadership and we are taking actions to improve field execution and customer engagement. In APAC, revenue declined approximately 4% on a year-over-year comparison, primarily reflecting the transition in Australia and New Zealand to a distributed model. So while our performance varies across markets, we know where the pressure is and we are taking actions to address it. Let me turn now to our three strategic priorities and the progress we are making in building a stronger, more sustainable growth business. Our first priority is strengthening the core hydrofacial franchise. We have a fantastic global brand, a deep customer relationship, but we need to translate those advantages into better commercial execution. So over the past year, We organized our commercial teams, strengthened accountability, and invested in better training, processes, and selling tools. We are also taking a more targeted approach to customers, with a great emphasis on hydrofacial clinical differentiators and the economic value it creates for providers. Additionally, we are expanding our relationships with corporate and multi-location accounts. where we see opportunities to broaden our installed-based and increased treatment volumes. And during the quarter, we introduced a U.S. rental program to address one of the key barriers to equipment adoption, the upfront capital investment. It's still early, but the objective is to make hydrofacial more accessible and bringing more providers into the hydrofacial ecosystem and support long-term relationships with them. We are also advancing our next-generation hydrafacial platform, currently targeted for 2028, with the goal of improving clinical outcomes, provider workflow, and overall treatment experience. On competition, we haven't seen a meaningful change in intensity from what we discussed last quarter. But our strategy isn't simply to compete on price. It's to strengthen our differentiation, improve commercial execution, and deliver greater value to our providers. Our second strategic priority is getting more value from the hydrofacial installed base. Throughout the years, we have built a substantial global network of providers, and that represents one of our biggest competitive advantage. But placing a system is only the beginning of the customer relationship. The real opportunity lies in helping providers perform more treatments, increase utilization, and generate more recurring consumables revenue. We saw encouraging progress in the quarter, with global consumables growing 1.2% on a year-over-year comparison, and the Americas consumables returning to growth for the first time this year, supported by strong signature consumables performance plus a hydrofacial relaunch and other commercial initiatives. But consumable revenues per systems remained below last year, and we believe we can do more to improve productivity across the install base. And that's an important part of our innovation strategy, bringing providers clinically differentiated treatments that address real consumer needs and create more reasons for consumers to come back. So in September, we introduced our treatment enhancers, the HydroGlo pre-extraction peel, and the HydroLock HA biocellulose mask. And in October, we launched a new booster, HydroClear, for blemish-prone skin, which in clinical evaluation showed that a series of HydroClear treatments produce a 38% mean reduction in total blemishes. So these launches are a good example of the direction we're taking with innovation. More targeted, clinical supported products that address specific customer needs. Our hydrosculpt relaunch is another good example of how we are working to expand how providers can use their existing hydrofacial system in the scalp and in the hair health. Equally important is our work in helping providers turn this innovation into greater treatment volumes and we are doing this with education programs like Hydrofacial Impact, which was built to help providers attract more customers and increase repeat visits and improve their treatment economics. The point isn't simply to launch more products. It's to make the systems already in the market more productive. And if we execute well, we can create a meaningful recurring revenue opportunity without relying entirely on new equipment placements. Our third strategic priority is to build a broader skin health business. Our ambition is not to be limited to one product or one category. We want to participate in attractive, high-growth segments of the aesthetic market and offer providers complementary treatments and give consumers more reasons to engage with our brands. Skin stylist is a good example of that strategy in play. Microneedling is an attractive, and growing segments that complements hydrofacial. And SkinStylus gives us a strong platform to compete in that market, offering both microneedling and nano-channel treatments. SkinStylus consumables grew 39% year over year this quarter. And very recently, we expanded SkinStylus into six key European markets, leveraging our existing international commercial infrastructure. We are also making good progress towards a planned introduction of another complementary device in 2027 with more details to come. But what's important strategically is that we believe we already have the customer relationships, the commercial infrastructure, and the clinical credibility that we can leverage those advantages across a broader portfolio. That's how we can build a stronger company. Not by moving away from what made it successful, but by building on it. So let me bring all of this together. The revenue decline has narrowed significantly. Overall, consumables have returned to growth, margins are substantially stronger, and we're making progress on the commercial and innovation initiatives that can drive the next phase of our business. We still have work to do on the equipment sales, Utilization, and EMEA. But when I look at skin health systems, I see a much bigger opportunity than the one we are capturing today. We have a strong global brand, a substantial install base, a more efficient operating model, and an expanding portfolio. Our job now is to turn those advantages into sustainable growth through better execution in the core business, greater productivity from our installed base, and a disciplined expansion into new categories. And that is exactly that what we are focusing on delivering. And with that, I'll just turn the call over to Mike.
Mike Monahan
Chief Financial Officer
Thank you, Pedro. We are pleased with our company's performance this quarter. Our cross-functional teams were able to deliver on our revenue commitments, and we overperformed on driving adjusted EBITDA. The team was able to do this while continuing to invest in future growth initiatives. We're grateful for the hard work that everyone in this organization put into delivering. Thank you to the team. Total net sales in the third quarter were 69.2 million, down 2.1% compared with the prior year. This was primarily driven by decline in delivery system units sold year over year, partially offset by an increase in consumables revenue. Specifically, At the end of Q3, global active systems grew to 37,342. We continue to grow our footprint and provider reach each quarter. Q3 delivery systems revenue was $18.8 million, down 9.9%. We placed 798 systems during the quarter, compared with 875 in the prior year period, a decline of 8.8%. Average selling price was $23,509, down 1.2% year over year. Consumables revenue was $50.4 million, up 1.2% year over year, representing approximately 73% of total revenue. On a year over year comparison, America's net sales were $48.9 million, up 1.4%, with consumables up 4.3%, partially offset by continued pressure on equipment. EMEA net sales were $14.2 million, down 11.7%, with delivery systems the largest source of pressure, and consumables down 6.6%. APAC net sales were $6.1 million, down 4.2%, primarily reflecting the Australia and New Zealand distributor transition. Gap gross margin was 68.2%, compared with 64.6% in the prior year period. adjusted gross margin with 71.8% compared with 68% in Q3 2025, an improvement of approximately 380 basis points, and our third consecutive quarter above 70%. There were several drivers of the year-over-year improvement. First, the prior year period included higher costs associated with elite trade-in systems that did not repeat. As a reminder, we sold through our fair market value elite systems that were acquired prior to 2024. Going forward, this inventory is no longer on our balance sheet. Second, we recorded approximately 1 million of tariff refunds during the quarter, which contributed approximately 140 basis points to adjusted gross margin. This was a one-time benefit. Third, we continued to benefit from improved inventory management, including lower excess, obsolete, and scrap charges. and fourth, revenue mix benefited from a higher proportion of consumables as our consolidated consumables revenue reached 73% for the quarter. For the fourth quarter, we expect adjusted gross margin to moderate from third quarter levels as equipment becomes a larger percentage of the mix and the tariff benefit does not repeat. Gap operating expenses were approximately 42.2 million compared with 51.9 million in the prior year period. Adjusted operating expenses were approximately $36.3 million compared with $39.1 million. The year-over-year improvement reflects the benefit of our APAC go-to-market changes, lower professional fees, and lower commissions, partially offset by increased marketing and event spending. Approximately $1.3 million of planned third quarter expense also shifted into the fourth quarter. roughly 600,000 of marketing, 600,000 of research and development, and 100,000 of G&A. As a result, we are projecting the fourth quarter run rate to be higher than the third quarter expense level. Research and development is expected to increase meaningfully in the fourth quarter as our device development programs, clinical studies, and other innovation initiatives advance. On a gap basis, income from operations was approximately $5 million, compared with an operating loss of $6.2 million in the prior year quarter. This is our second consecutive quarter of positive gap operating income. Net loss was approximately $0.9 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $13.4 million or 19.3% of revenue compared with $8.9 million or 12.6% in the prior year period, an increase of approximately 50%. Cashflow from operations was approximately 11.3 million in the third quarter and capital expenditure was approximately 1.1 million, resulting in free cashflow of approximately 10.2 million. On September 30th, we repaid the remaining 103.2 million principal amount of our 1.25% convertible senior notes due in 2026. Together with approximately 645,000 of accrued and unpaid interest, The related indenture was satisfied and discharged. This completed the retirement of the 2026 notes and delivered on the plan we communicated earlier this year to address the maturity with cash on hand. Following the repayment, we ended the quarter with approximately $112.4 million in cash and cash equivalents. We believe our liquidity position provides sufficient flexibility to operate and invest in the business. We have approximately $250 million in convertible debt remaining that matures in Q4 of 2028. We expect to address this in 2027 and will evaluate all alternatives thoughtfully as we move forward. Turning to our outlook. Based on third quarter results and our current expectations for the balance of the year, we are updating our full year of 2026 guidance. We now expect net sales of $281 million to $287 million compared with our previous guidance of $280 to $290 million. We now expect adjusted EBITDA of $48 million to $50 million compared with our previous guidance of $39 million to $46 million. Our fourth quarter assumptions reflect continued pressure on equipment and further work to improve EMEA revenue performance. We expect adjusted gross margin to moderate sequentially as equipment represents a greater percentage of the mix and the one-time tariff benefit does not repeat. Finally, the guidance reflects increased operating expenses quarter over quarter. This is primarily driven by increased sales and marketing expenses due to normal seasonal commission increases tied to revenue, along with some timing of marketing expenses that are now expected to impact the fourth quarter. Our research and development expenses are projected to increase meaningfully from the third quarter as a number of our 2027 and 2028 projects are beginning to ramp. Finally, we are projecting increased G&A expenses primarily due to increased professional fees, more normalized bad debt expense, and some timing of legal expenses. With that, I'll turn the call back to Pedro.
Pedro Malha
President and Chief Executive Officer
Thanks, Mike. Let me close with a few thoughts. We are not simply waiting for the equipment market to recover. We are taking action to build a stronger, more profitable business with multiple opportunities for growth. This quarter demonstrates that we are making progress. Revenue is stabilizing. Consumables on the overall basis have returned to growth and the economics of the business continue to improve. At the same time, we are investing in the things that will drive our future, strengthen our hydrofacial franchise, getting more value from our install base, and building a broader portfolio of products and treatments. Like Mike mentioned, we also retired our near-term 2026 notes upon maturity as planned while maintaining a meaningful liquidity to continue investing in our business. So while there's still work ahead, we believe we are operating from a much stronger foundation than we were at the beginning of the year. We also believe that we have the brand, the infrastructure, the relationships, and the innovation pipeline to build a substantially better and more diversified business. Our focus now is on execution, translating those advantages into consistent revenue growth, sustained profitability, and long-term value for our shareholders. Operator, you can now open the line for questions.

Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, we will now begin our question and answer session. Should you have a question, please press star followed by the one on your touchtone phone. You will hear a prompt that your hand has been raised. should you wish to decline from the polling process, please press the star followed by the two. And if you're using the speakerphone, please lift the handset first before pressing any keys. We have our first question from Olivia Tong with Raymond James. Great, thanks. Good afternoon.
Olivia Tong
Analyst, Raymond James
Two questions for me. First, can you talk about the growth in consumables? First, do you think you've turned the corner and we can expect continued growth from here or was there anything particularly notable this quarter that doesn't repeat? And then what drove the growth? Was it more treatments, more boosters, pricing, other factors there? And then secondly, can you give us a sense on the delivery, on the system side, what turn looks like? It's a bit difficult to assess now that you've got the leasing program in place, so would love to understand that as well. Thank you so much.
Pedro Malha
President and Chief Executive Officer
Sure, Olivia. So on the consumables, so let me bring you back. Global consumables increased 1.2% in this quarter, and actually the Americas consumables grew 4.2. So good numbers. These are encouraging signals from in terms of performance. To support that, the signature consumables are also performing better. and together with the Hydroscope relaunch that basically added more treatments. So the Americans, specifically the U.S. is looking good and this is the direct result of the execution work, the commercial work, the retraining of the sales force, the marketing resegmentation, remessaging, all that work is starting to pay out in the U.S. We feel also encourage that in the quarter we launch HydroClear, a very promising booster, and also the non-medical channel is supporting that growth. So overall, I think things are starting to shape up on the consumable side, specifically in our most important market, which is the U.S. In terms of the system churn, Mike, do you want to take that one? Sure. I love you.
Mike Monahan
Chief Financial Officer
So we had positive net churn of 59 units if you roll it forward. This was primarily driven in the Americas as we saw a lower fall off of devices and some consumers repurchasing that were previously dormant. So we're encouraged by some of the improvements that we've made specifically around with our outreach to past dormant accounts.

Thank you. We have our next question from Sydney Wagner with Jefferies.
Sydney Wagner
Analyst, Jefferies
Hi. Thanks for taking our question. As wellness becomes a larger part of the med spa offering, are hair health concerns including those associated just with GLP-1 use and the side effects from that bringing new consumers to the ecosystem? And then if we think about Hydroscalp and the opportunity there, are you primarily seeing deepened engagement with existing consumers, or are you seeing incremental consumers coming in through that offering? And then just on EMEA, last quarter you cited personnel gaps in distributor order timing as temporary pressures, and they were expected to improve in the second half, so just curious how those issues are running now and what needs to change for that region to improve further.
Pedro Malha
President and Chief Executive Officer
Thank you. So in terms of scalp health, this is a segment that is getting a lot of attention and a lot of traction from independently of what's driving. Obviously, GLP-1s could be a good contributor for that renewed interest in scalp health. Hydroscope for us and Hydroscope with Keraviv is a particularly good example of the strategy that we put in place of getting more value out of our installed base. and basically the whole premise of this is that we want to extend the use of our existing hydrafacial system beyond just the facial treatments and going to the scalp and going to hair health, which, as I mentioned in the beginning, is getting some good traction as a segment overall in the market. and getting a lot of growing consumer interest. Basically, what is so appealing for us in terms of this treatment is that it offers and combines basically an in-office treatment with a home spray made out of peptides and basically creates another opportunity for providers. And we saw, and as I keep mentioning the first answered to the first question. We saw this being a good contributor to the numbers of the consumables that we have seen in the U.S. in terms of the quarter. So now the opportunity is to expand that provider adoption of Hydrosculpt with KeraViv and just build that recurring treatment volume on top of it. In terms of EMEA, yes, definitely a point of pressure. It has been a point of pressure for our business for some quarters now. We have taken decisive action in terms of leadership and organization design to better address the needs and the dynamics of the EMEA market in the past quarter. I feel very encouraged and very positive with those changes and the tools and the processes that we are bringing in place. And I feel optimistic that EMEA will start providing better results in the future.
Mike Monahan
Chief Financial Officer
The only thing I would add, Sydney, on the numbers, so we did see some improvement, even though in EMEA, we were down 19% year over year, as you might remember, in Q2, and that improved, still down, but was down 11.7% in Q3. So to Pedro's point, even though the changes came throughout the summer, we're starting to see some improvement there.

Conference Call Operator
Great, thank you. Our next question comes from Joe Federico with Stiefel.
Joe Federico
Analyst, Stifel
Hey, everyone. Thanks for taking the question. Maybe just to start a little high level, delivery systems in the corridor placements were actually pretty impressive relative to our estimate. So I know it's now early days for the U.S. rental program, but maybe just any early learnings you're are seeing from that program. And can you give us a bit of color on the economics of those placements from the system side? And I can have a quick follow up. Thanks.
Pedro Malha
President and Chief Executive Officer
Yeah, Joe, I appreciate the comment. So in terms of delivery systems, yes, the numbers were, I won't call it good, but they were less severe than they were in the last quarter. But definitely, and I can be straightforward with this, we still are still below where we needed to be. What we're seeing in the market is that capital decisions, they still remain a barrier. The sales cycles are longer and the competition is there. And as I mentioned before, EMEA is the largest source of pressure that we have right now. But we are focused on making the product easier to access and the value proposition easier to sell. I do believe that devices eventually will return to growth, but we have to improve conversion. We have to bring more discipline to the channel's coverage. We have to reduce the adoption friction and basically give customers and providers a compelling reason to invest. And the rental program, and I will also add to this, the corporate account strategy that we have now in place work on access today. And the next generation platform That is slated for 2028. It will be the long-term innovation driver. So in terms of the U.S. rental program specifically, that program was introduced during the quarter. So it's still too early to kind of attribute a meaningful share. Thank you very much. evaluating the lead quality, we're evaluating the conversion, we're evaluating the provider adoption, and importantly, the treatment activity after every placement. And our expectation is that this program will build contribution over time as it scales in the U.S. right now.
Mike Monahan
Chief Financial Officer
Joe, I would just add on the economics to follow up on that piece. The way the rental program works is our sales team is able to identify the sale. And if the end provider opts to enter into the rental program, we sell the unit to our financing partner who then administrates the program. And so for us, the revenue is booked upfront upon sale very similarly to the way we do it when we go through our normal sale process. For the rental program, it has a slightly lower gross margin, you know, as our financing partner captures some of the economics for administrating the program and taking on the default risk. But, you know, net-net, it works in the same way as if we sell directly to the end provider.
Joe Federico
Analyst, Stifel
Very helpful. I'll keep it to one. Thanks for the color.

We have our next question from Navan Tai with BNP Paribas.
Navan Tai
Analyst, BNP Paribas
Hi, Gretchen, and thanks for taking my questions. I don't know if you can comment, maybe some early thoughts on how growth and margins could trend next year with different factors like the expansion of the corporate multi-accounts, the rental program, and any other push and pulls. Thank you.
Mike Monahan
Chief Financial Officer
I mean, we're not commenting on 2027, Naveen, right now. What we can comment in terms of overall expectations is we're launching a number of initiatives next year. So I would expect our plan is, and we'll give more color when we get to our next call, is that as we start to roll out these initiatives during kind of the latter part of the first half, of the year, you'll start to see the benefits, not just from some of the programs that we started investing in this year, but also from some of the new device and partnerships that Pedro had mentioned earlier that you'll see us start to announce as we get further into 2027. Thank you.

Our next question is from Jonah Kim with TD Collins.
Jonah Kim
Analyst, TD Cowen
Thank you for taking my question. The first one, just curious on what are your key sales and marketing initiatives that you're implementing to drive better system sales going forward? Any color will be helpful there. And then just on the end consumer itself, how is the health of the consumer looking? Are you seeing any sort of delay in treatment just given where the macro backdrop is? Thank you.
Pedro Malha
President and Chief Executive Officer
So in terms of the changes and the work that we're doing in terms of Salesforce accents and corporate accounts within the commercial organization, we have straightened the leadership and invested in more consistent training. The bigger change is basically moving from a relationship-led model to kind of a more deliberative demand generation and conversion model. and that includes better account segmentation, better value-based selling, very disciplined follow-up from the sales force down in the field, very strong oversight from management over the health and the flow of the pipeline. All of that have been initiatives and a great focus of our commercial team and commercial leadership in the past quarter. An example of programs that we drove in the quarter, one of those was the Hydrofacial Impact. And basically, the concept of the thesis is that innovation only works when providers know how to sell it, basically, and know how to perform well. and bring customers back. So the Hydrofacial Impact Program is really about helping our providers build better business and improving the treatment protocols and the treatment economics. And it's very straightforward. Basically, it's when providers are more successful with Hydrofacial, they perform more treatments and utilization improves. Another work that we've been doing and a lot of organizational changes as well is around corporate accounts. And here we are taking just a more targeted approach to this type of customers because basically they can provide scale. They can provide scaling placements. They provide scaling in provider coverage. and recurrent treatments when implemented well. So there's a lot of work being done in that organization and we are very optimistic about the outcomes of that work.
Mike Monahan
Chief Financial Officer
The only thing I would add to that is we're seeing some encouraging signs in the Americas on overall revenue per system that we saw in Q3 where we still have some pressure but we've seen that decline to less than 1%. So while we're a B2B business, it doesn't tell us exactly what's happening at the end consumer. That gives us some insight that we're seeing some health in terms of utilization, as Pedro mentioned, for the demand for our consumables, which is encouraging.
Pedro Malha
President and Chief Executive Officer
I will just end by addressing the question around the market and the consumer sentiment in terms of dynamics. So consumers are still interested in outcomes. That's still clear in the market. But as we keep mentioning in the prior calls, their dollars are spread across more treatment and providers. And that is why we as an organization have to work harder to be the preferred treatment and help providers kind of monetize it better. And this is why utilization, differentiation, and consumer experience matters. also the cost of capital is delaying equipment decision and that is why the response from us has to be better provider economics, more flexible access like we kept discussing here the rental program, and treatments need to drive repeat visits. That's why we are so focused in having our booster and treatment enhancers and extended strategy.

Thank you for the call. Our next question is from Bruce Jackson with Stonex.
Bruce Jackson
Analyst, StoneX
Hi, thanks for taking the questions. On a new product, You said you're going to be increasing R&D here. Is it going to be going up sequentially and year over year? And you mentioned the new platform that you're working on. Is there anything else in the new product development that you're working on?
Pedro Malha
President and Chief Executive Officer
So in terms of the new devices, the program continues to progress towards the planned 2027 launch. Again, this is not a hydrofacial device. We are not going to give product specifics or economics today or commit to a launch. The commitment is 2027. But the strategic logic here is to add another complementary treatment category through an infrastructure that we already have. And again, we provide more details when the product and the commercial plans are ready. In terms of the next-gen hydrafacial, This is a very important long-term initiative for us, and that is target for 2028. But it's not part of the foundation of our near-term recovering plan, because that is 2028. But we are designing and we're investing... in a machine that will improve clinical outcomes, improve workflow, improve treatment experience, and it will create reasons for both the existing and the prospective providers to invest in a new device. We are not disclosing any product features this fall, and we will release more information as we see fit.
Bruce Jackson
Analyst, StoneX
Okay, and then a quick follow up just in terms of the product portfolio vitality. Do you have a rough idea of the percentage of the mix that the new products contribute to the sales? And is this something that could be expected to help accelerate revenue at some point in the future?
Pedro Malha
President and Chief Executive Officer
So in terms of the strategy, absolutely. Basically, all these product launches are there. to create more occasions to use the same system and serve in more ways the customers. The booster addresses specific skin concerns. The enhancer or the extender can personalize or broaden an existing treatment protocol. All of this supports premium treatments. All of this strategy supports repeat visits and Higher Consumables per Treatment. That is the strategy. We are not going to give standalone revenue forecasts per product SKU, but the way to assess the success is how this is contributing to the recurring revenue over time. New consumables require providers to adopt the protocols and consumables to incorporate them into the treatment routines that they have in these practices. And if you look at skin stylists, that is already generating growth. And we're using skin stylists to expand internationally. So the other products are very early. We just launched them in their commercialization. So I wouldn't expect Thank you very much. We are working as a company to build several complementary growth drivers rather than just solely be focused on the recovering of equipment sales. That is the key work that we focus on.
