Net sales for The Beauty Health Company, home to flagship brand Hydrafacial, were $86.3 million, a +14% year-over-year increase, for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023. The performance continues a trend of double-digit quarterly growth, according to the company.
The quarter was underpinned by continued strong consumer demand for Hydrafacial treatments, with +21% year-over-year consumables net sales growth globally. Of note, consumables net sales grew +34% year-over-year in the Americas and +13% in EMEA. Excluding $1.2 million of Q1 2022 consumables net sales in Russia, growth in EMEA was +35%. In APAC, consumables net sales declined (22%), driven primarily by COVID-related shutdowns in China in January and February.
As expected, delivery system sales growth for the quarter was +9% year-over-year, as the company said it lapped the Q1 2022 US. Syndeo launch and providers outside of the US showed a degree of hold-back in anticipation of Syndeo's international availability in Q2 2023. Additionally, continued Covid-related shutdowns in China in January and February affected the quarter, but were partially offset by a remarkable rebound in China in March.
“I am pleased with the growth we achieved in the first quarter and our strong momentum going into Q2. We see sustained consumer demand for Hydrafacial treatments across the globe and palpable excitement for the international launch of Syndeo,” said BeautyHealth president and CEO Andrew Stanleick. “This demand, together with the investments made last year and favorable market trends, particularly in China, give us the confidence to raise our 2023 net sales target and reconfirm our 2023 adjusted EBITDA margin guidance and long-term 2025 targets.”
