HORSHAM, Penn., July 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- STRATA Skin Sciences, Inc. (“STRATA” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SSKN), a medical technology company dedicated to developing, commercializing, and marketing innovative products for the treatment of dermatologic conditions, announces preliminary total revenue in the range of $8.0 million - $8.4 million for the second quarter of 2024. Consistent with the Company’s stated plans of realigning its devices and removing them from underperforming account, the domestic installed base of XTRAC® devices declined from 907 at the end of the first quarter of 2024 to 881 at the end of the second quarter of 2024. The domestic installed base of TheraClear®X devices continued to grow, rising from 104 at the end of the first quarter of 2024 to 117 at the end of the second quarter of 2024. Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash totaled $6.8 million at the end of the second quarter of 2024.
“We continue to take strategic steps to grow our business through efficient deployment of our devices to drive utilization and through an increase in our direct to consumer, or DTC, activities to drive patient awareness and visits to our partnered clinics. Progress was made on these initiatives in the second quarter, and they remain a cornerstone of our strategic focus,” commented STRATA’s President and CEO Dr. Dolev Rafaeli. “Further, there is reason to believe that there is increasing traction in the market, a cause for continued optimism. Recently, our TheraClear®X device was mentioned in a California-based news broadcast that highlighted our previously announced study for acne treatment. We are optimistic that, combined with our other DTC efforts, these types of media opportunities are generating wider awareness in the market of our dermatology solutions, potentially contributing to the increases in treatment procedures.”
The preliminary, unaudited results described in this press release are estimates and are subject to revision until the Company reports its full financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, which is anticipated to be on August 14, 2024.
