The Beauty Health Company (NASDAQ:SKIN) has reported its financial results for the third quarter of 2025, delivering a performance that surpassed analyst revenue expectations despite a year-over-year sales decline. The market responded positively to the news, with the stock surging significantly in after-hours trading.
Earnings and Revenue Versus Estimates
For the quarter, BeautyHealth posted revenue of $70.7 million, exceeding the analyst consensus estimate of approximately $70.0 million. While this represents a 10.3% decrease compared to the $78.8 million reported in the same quarter last year, the top-line beat was a key focal point for investors. On the bottom line, the company reported a GAAP loss of $0.09 per share, which was in line with analyst expectations.
The company also provided an updated financial outlook for the full 2025 fiscal year. Management now anticipates net sales to be in the range of $293 million to $300 million, with the midpoint of $296.5 million slightly above the analyst sales estimate of $299.6 million. The adjusted EBITDA guidance was set between $37 million and $39 million.
Market Reaction
The immediate market reaction was decisively positive. Following the earnings release, the stock jumped over 16% in after-hours trading. This sharp upward move suggests that investors were encouraged by the revenue beat and the company's ability to exceed its own guidance for the quarter, potentially viewing it as a sign of stabilization and effective cost management in a challenging macroeconomic environment.
Key Takeaways from the Q3 2025 Press Release
Beyond the headline earnings figures, the quarterly report highlighted several important operational and financial trends:
- Profitability Improvements: The company demonstrated significant progress on profitability metrics. Gross margin expanded substantially to 64.6%, up from 51.6% in the prior year period, primarily due to lower inventory-related charges and a favorable sales mix. Adjusted EBITDA also improved to $8.9 million, compared to $8.1 million in Q3 2024.
- Shift in Sales Mix: The results underscored a clear divergence between the company's device and consumables businesses. Delivery system sales faced pressure, falling to $20.8 million from $27.6 million last year, with 875 systems placed compared to 1,118 a year ago. In contrast, the recurring consumables revenue stream showed resilience, bringing in $49.8 million.
- Strong Balance Sheet: The company maintained a solid liquidity position, with cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash totaling approximately $219 million as of September 30, 2025.
- Management Commentary: President and CEO Pedro Malha emphasized "disciplined execution" and the "continued strengthening of BeautyHealth’s foundation." He pointed to the company's large installed base and the strength of its Hydrafacial brand as key assets for driving future sustainable, profitable growth.
