Management Commentary:

“Our second quarter revenue results reflect strong execution in a continued challenging environment,” said Rajiv De Silva, Chief Executive Officer of Venus Concept. “We delivered solid sequential growth in the second quarter, driven by 20% growth in total systems and subscription sales quarter-over-quarter. We were particularly encouraged by year-over-year growth in the US business which led to a significant moderation of the decline year-over-year for the entire business. Our focus remains on managing our cash burn through disciplined cost management and making targeted investments to support our long-term growth.”

Mr. De Silva continued: “We have made considerable progress this year towards our strategic initiative to position the Company for long-term success. We have enhanced our balance sheet and improved our capital structure through multiple transactions including amendments to increase available financing capacity under our existing bridge loan facility, debt-to-equity exchange transactions totaling $17.5 million in converted debt and multiple equity capital transactions with existing and new investors raising a total of $3.9 million in gross proceeds. We also announced a definitive agreement to sell our Venus Hair business to MHG Co. Ltd in an all-cash transaction valued at $20 million, resulting from our ongoing evaluation of strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value. We believe this transaction will strengthen the Company by allowing us to focus on our global medical aesthetics business which we expect will improve revenue growth, lower operating expenses, enhance the cash flow profile of the business and accelerate the path to long-term, sustainable profitability.”

Total revenue for the second quarter of 2025 decreased $0.9 million, or 5%, to $15.7 million, compared to the second quarter of 2024. The decrease in total revenue, by region, was driven by a $1.3 million, or 18%, decrease year-over-year in International revenue, offset partially by a $0.4 million, or 5%, increase year-over-year in United States revenue.

The decrease in total revenue, by product category, was driven by a 4% increase in lease systems revenue, offset by an 8% decrease in products – systems revenue, an 8% decrease in products – other revenue and a 24% decrease in services revenue. The percentage of total systems revenue derived from the Company’s internal lease programs (Venus Prime and our legacy subscription model) was approximately 37% in the second quarter of 2025, compared to 34% in the prior year period.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2025 decreased $2.4 million, or 20%, to $9.4 million compared to the second quarter of 2024. The decrease in gross profit is primarily attributed to the effects of customer uncertainty about economic stability, tighter third-party lending practices which negatively impacted capital equipment sales, and a decrease in revenue in our international markets driven by the exit from unprofitable direct markets. To a lesser extent, gross profit declines were also impacted by supply disruptions caused by the Israel-Iran conflict impacting production at our contract manufacturer's facility in Israel. Gross margin was 60.1% of revenue, compared to 71.5% of revenue for the second quarter of 2024.

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2025 increased $1.0 million, or 6%, to $18.5 million, compared to the second quarter of 2024. Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2025 increased $0.2 million, or 1%, on a quarter-over-quarter basis. The year-over-year change in total operating expenses was driven by an increase of $0.8 million, or 9%, in general and administrative expenses, an increase of $0.6 million, or 9%, in selling and marketing expenses, and a decrease of $0.4 million, or 22%, in research and development expenses. The modest increase in second quarter of 2025 operating expenses reflects our continued progress in cost containment and streamlining of our operations.

Operating loss for the second quarter of 2025 was $9.0 million, compared to operating loss of $5.6 million for the second quarter of 2024.

Net loss attributable to stockholders for the second quarter of 2025 was $11.7 million, or $8.03 per share, compared to net loss of $20.0 million, or $30.93 per share for the second quarter of 2024. Weighted average shares outstanding for the second quarter of 2025 and 2024 gives effect for the Company’s 1 for 11 reverse stock split effective March 3, 2025. Adjusted EBITDA loss for the second quarter of 2025 was $8.8 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA loss of $4.1 million for the second quarter of 2024.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $4.9 million and total debt obligations of approximately $34.3 million, compared to $4.3 million and total debt obligations of approximately $39.7 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2024.

Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Outlook:

Given the Company’s active dialogue with existing lenders and investors, ongoing evaluation of strategic alternatives with various interested parties to maximize shareholder value, and assessment of potential trade disruptions, the Company is not providing financial guidance at this time.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined as net income (loss) before foreign exchange (gain) loss, financial expenses, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and non-recurring items for a given period. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of our financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA along with other financial performance measures, including net income, and our financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently or not at all, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure. We understand that although Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, lenders and others in their evaluation of companies, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are: Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure for analyzing the performance of our core business because it facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period and company to company by backing out potential differences caused by changes in foreign exchange rates that impact financial assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, tax positions (such as the impact on periods or companies of changes in effective tax rates), the age and book depreciation of fixed assets (affecting relative depreciation expense), amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense (because it is a non-cash expense) and non-recurring items as explained below.

The following is a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented:

The CRA has currently assessed a denial of CEWS claims made by the Company in 2020 and is requesting repayment of $418. The Company disputes the CRA assessment and intends to challenge this matter through the Tax Court or Judicial Review.
