The Company:

Background
STRATA Skin Sciences, Inc. (the “Company”) is a medical technology company dedicated to developing, commercializing and marketing innovative products for the treatment of dermatologic conditions. Its products include the XTRAC® and Pharos® excimer lasers and VTRAC® lamp systems utilized in the treatment of psoriasis, vitiligo and various other skin conditions. In January 2022, the Company acquired the TheraClear® Acne Therapy System to broaden its opportunities with expansion potential in the acne care market. The Company markets the device under the brand name TheraClear® X.

The XTRAC is an ultraviolet light excimer laser system utilized to treat psoriasis, vitiligo and other skin diseases. The XTRAC excimer laser system received clearance from the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) in 2000. As of June 30, 2025, there were 844 XTRAC systems placed in dermatologists’ offices in the United States and 49 systems internationally under the Company’s recurring revenue business model. The XTRAC systems deployed under the recurring revenue model generate revenue on a per procedure basis or include a fixed payment over an agreed upon period with a capped number of treatments which, if exceeded, would incur additional fees. The per-procedure charge is inclusive of the use of the system and the services provided by the Company to the customer, which includes system maintenance and other services. The VTRAC Excimer Lamp system, offered in addition to the XTRAC system internationally, provides targeted therapeutic efficacy demonstrated by excimer technology with a lamp system.

The Pharos excimer laser system holds FDA clearance to treat chronic skin diseases, including psoriasis, vitiligo, atopic dermatitis and leukoderma.

The TheraClear® Acne Therapy System (“TheraClear”) combines intense pulsed light with vacuum (suction) for the treatment of mild to moderate inflammatory acne (including acne vulgaris), comedonal acne and pustular acne.

The Company has signed distributor contracts by year as follows: 2019 – Korea, 2020 – Japan, 2021 – China, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, UAE, Jordan and Iraq, and 2023 – Mexico and India. The Company has renewed and/or amended several of these agreements as required to keep their terms current.

Post-COVID-19 Pandemic
Since March 2020, the global pandemic related to a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) has negatively impacted business conditions in the industry in which the Company operates, disrupted global supply chains, constrained workforce participation and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. The pandemic led to the suspension of elective procedures in the U.S. and to the temporary closure of many physician practices, which are the Company’s primary customers. While most physician offices have reopened, some of the Company’s partner physician practices closed permanently. Accordingly, the COVID-19 pandemic and its variants have negatively impacted the Company’s operational and financial performance, including its ability to execute its business strategies and initiatives in the expected time frames and those of its primary customers. It has also negatively impacted the Company’s supply chains and transport, customer behavior and staffing.

Impact of Russia-Ukraine War
Prior to the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine War, Ukraine was the largest exporter of noble gases including neon, krypton, and xenon and has historically been the source of a significant amount of gas supplied to the Company by its contract suppliers. Neon gas is essential to the proper functioning of the Company’s lasers. The Company’s suppliers have been resourceful in continuing to supply gases to the Company but cannot assure the Company that the supply will remain uninterrupted. The reduced supply and ongoing conflict have also impacted the price of gas worldwide. Additionally, the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors and Science Act of 2022 has led to a further tightening of rare gas supplies as semiconductor chip manufacturers reconfigure their supply chains to address the need to secure their own supplies of rare gases for use in the manufacture of computer chips.
Impact of Middle East Conflict
The Company has not seen an impact on its distributors’ businesses in the Middle East due to the Middle East conflict, but cannot predict the impact should the conflict continue or develop into a larger war.

Impact of Tariffs
In 2025, the U.S. introduced trade policy actions that have increased import tariffs across a wide range of countries at various rates, with certain exemptions. To the extent that trade tariffs and other restrictions imposed by the U.S. or other countries increase the price of, or limit the amount of, the Company’s products or components or materials used in its products imported into the U.S., or create adverse tax consequences, the revenues, costs, or gross profit of the Company’s products and services, primarily in the Dermatology Procedures Equipment segment, may be adversely affected and the demand from its customers may be diminished. Uncertainty surrounding international trade policy and regulations as well as disputes and protectionist measures could also have an adverse effect on consumer confidence and spending and may impact the Company’s results of operations.

Basis of presentation:

Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and Photomedex India Private Limited, its wholly-owned, inactive subsidiary in India. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. These condensed consolidated statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) necessary to fairly present the results of the interim periods. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. Operating results and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 or any other future period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations for interim reporting of the SEC. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”), and other forms filed with the SEC from time to time.

Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts, as well as amounts in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, including the presentation of foreign revenues within the Company’s business and geographical reporting segment disclosures and the classification of certain international service fees between cost of revenues and selling and marketing expenses. These reclassifications had no impact on the previously reported total foreign revenues or loss from operations by reporting segment in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies used in preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements are disclosed in the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K, and there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company’s significant estimates and judgments include revenue recognition with respect to deferred revenues and the contract term and valuation allowances of accounts receivable, inputs used when evaluating goodwill for impairment, inputs used in the valuation of contingent consideration, state sales and use tax accruals, the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, and the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures financial assets and liabilities at fair value at each reporting period using a fair value hierarchy that requires the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

Level 1 – quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect the Company’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are based on their respective demand values, which are equal to the carrying values. The carrying values of all short-term monetary assets and liabilities are estimated to approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt approximated its fair value due to its variable interest rate.

Restricted Cash
As discussed more fully in Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies, as the result of an adverse decision received by the Company in May 2022, the State of New York required the Company to post an appellate bond for $1.3 million in the form of cash collateral with respect to a sales tax determination by the State of New York Tax Appeals Tribunal (“Tribunal”). During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the State of New York executed on the appellate bond. There is no restricted cash as of June 30, 2025.

Accrued Warranty Costs
The Company offers a standard warranty on product sales generally for a one to two-year period, however, the Company has offered longer warranty periods, ranging from three to four years, in order to meet competition or customer demands. The Company provides for the estimated cost of the future warranty claims on the date the product is sold.

The activity in the warranty accrual is summarized as follows (in thousands):

Employee Retention Credit
The Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) is a refundable tax credit which encouraged businesses to keep employees on the payroll during the COVID-19 pandemic. Eligible employers could qualify for up to $7.0 thousand of credit for each employee based on qualified wages paid after December 31, 2020 and before January 1, 2022. Qualified wages are any wages paid to an employee (for employers that averaged fewer than 100 full-time employees in 2019) or the wages paid to an employee for the time that the employee is providing and not providing services (for employers that averaged more than 500 full-time employees in 2019) due to an economic hardship, specifically, either (1) a full or partial suspension of operations by order of a governmental authority due to COVID-19, or (2) a significant decline in gross receipts. The Company recognized $0.9 million of ERC as other income in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. No such activity existed for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted net loss per share of common stock includes the effect, if any, from the potential exercise or conversion of securities such as unvested restricted stock awards, stock options and warrants for common stock which would result in the issuance of incremental shares of common stock. For diluted net loss per share, the weighted-average number of shares of common stock is the same as for basic net loss per share due to the fact that when a net loss exists, dilutive securities are not included in the calculation as the impact is anti-dilutive.

The following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding, as they would be anti-dilutive:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to improve income tax disclosure requirements by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) the disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The guidance makes several other changes to the income tax disclosure requirements. The guidance in this ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this ASU will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.
 
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, as subsequently amended by ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date, which is intended to provide more detailed information about specified categories of expenses (purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization) included in certain expense captions presented on the consolidated statement of operations. The guidance in this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments may be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for periods after the effective date of this ASU or (2) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this ASU will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.
 
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which simplifies the estimation of credit losses on current accounts receivable and contract assets by allowing the election of a practical expedient to assume that the current conditions as of the consolidated balance sheet date will remain unchanged for the remaining life of the asset when developing a reasonable and supportable forecast as part of estimating expected credit losses on these assets. The guidance in this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. If adopted in an interim period, entities are required to apply the new guidance as of the beginning of the annual reporting period that includes such interim period. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
