Note 1 – Description of Business
The Beauty Health Company, formerly known as Vesper Healthcare Acquisition Corp. (the “Company” or “BeautyHealth”), was incorporated in Delaware on July 8, 2020. The Company was originally formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.
On May 4, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the previously announced business combination pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 8, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Vesper Healthcare Acquisition Corp. (“Vesper”), Hydrate Merger Sub I, Inc. (“Merger Sub I”), Hydrate Merger Sub II, LLC (“Merger Sub II”), LCP Edge Intermediate, Inc., the indirect parent of Edge Systems LLC d/b/a The Hydrafacial Company (“Hydrafacial”), and LCP Edge Holdco, LLC (“LCP,” or “Former Parent,” and, in its capacity as the stockholders’ representative, the “Stockholders’ Representative”), which provided for: (a) the merger of Merger Sub I with and into Hydrafacial, with Hydrafacial continuing as the surviving corporation (the “First Merger”), and (b) immediately following the First Merger and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, the merger of Hydrafacial with and into Merger Sub II, with Merger Sub II continuing as the surviving entity (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”). As a result of the First Merger, the Company owns 100% of the outstanding common stock of Hydrafacial and each share of common stock and preferred stock of Hydrafacial has been cancelled and converted into the right to receive a portion of the consideration payable in connection with the Mergers. As a result of the Second Merger, the Company owns 100% of the outstanding interests in Merger Sub II. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), the Company owns, directly or indirectly, 100% of the stock of Hydrafacial and its subsidiaries and the stockholders of Hydrafacial as of immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger (the “Hydrafacial Stockholders”) hold a portion of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”).
In connection with the Closing, the Company changed its name from “Vesper Healthcare Acquisition Corp.” to “The Beauty Health Company.” Following the Closing, on May 6, 2021, the Company’s Class A Common Stock and publicly traded warrants were listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbols, “SKIN” and “SKINW”, respectively. The transactions set forth in the Merger Agreement constitute a “Business Combination” as contemplated by Vesper’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.
Unless the context otherwise requires, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the “Company” refers to Vesper Healthcare Acquisition Corp. prior to the closing of the Business Combination and to the combined company and its subsidiaries following the Closing and “Hydrafacial” refers to the business of LCP Edge Intermediate, Inc. and its subsidiaries prior to the Closing. References to “Vesper” refer to Vesper Healthcare Acquisition Corp. prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.
The Company is a category-creating beauty health company focused on bringing innovative products to market. The Company and its subsidiaries design, develop, manufacture, market, and sell a/esthetic technologies and products. The Company’s flagship brand, Hydrafacial, is a non-invasive and approachable beauty health platform and ecosystem. Hydrafacial uses a unique delivery system to cleanse, extract, and hydrate with their patented hydradermabrasion technology and serums that are made with nourishing ingredients.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and may continue to have adverse impacts on our business. As government authorities around the world continue to implement significant measures intended to control the spread of the virus and institute restrictions on commercial operations, while simultaneously implementing policies designed to reopen certain markets, we are working to ensure our compliance and maintain business continuity for essential operations. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business going forward will depend on numerous factors we cannot reliably predict, including the duration and scope of the pandemic; businesses and individuals’ actions in response to the pandemic; and the impact on economic activity including the possibility of recession or financial market instability.

We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
Note 3 – Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions
Business Combination — Reverse Recapitalization
The closing of the Business Combination occurred on May 4, 2021. In connection with the Business Combination:
•Certain accredited investors (the “PIPE Investors”) entered into subscription agreements (the “PIPE Subscription Agreements”) pursuant to which the PIPE Investors agreed to purchase 35,000,000 shares (the “PIPE Shares”) of the Company’s Class A Common Stock at a purchase price per share of $10.00 for an aggregate purchase price of $350.0 million (the “PIPE Investment”). The PIPE Investment was consummated substantially concurrently with the Closing of the Business Combination.
•Prior to the Business Combination, the Company issued an aggregate of 11,500,000 shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock (the “Founder Shares”) to the Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 in cash. All outstanding Founder Shares were automatically converted into shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis at the Closing and will continue to be subject to the transfer restrictions applicable to such shares of Founder Shares.
•In connection with the Closing, holders of 2,672,690 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock exercised their rights for the Company to redeem their respective shares for cash at an approximate price of $10.00 per share, for an aggregate of approximately $26.7 million, which was paid to such holders at Closing.
•Immediately after giving effect to the Merger and the PIPE Investment, there were 125,329,053 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding.
•The aggregate gross cash consideration received by the Company in connection with the Business Combination was $783 million, which consisted of proceeds of $350 million from the PIPE Investment, plus approximately $433 million of cash from the Company’s trust account that held the proceeds from the Company’s initial public offering (the “Trust Account”). The aggregate gross cash consideration received was reduced by $368 million, which consisted of cash payments made to the former shareholders of Hydrafacial, and further reduced by an additional $57 million for the payment of direct transaction costs incurred by Hydrafacial and the Company which were reflected as a reduction of proceeds. The Company used the net proceeds to repay all of its outstanding indebtedness at the Closing. The remainder of the consideration paid to the Hydrafacial Stockholders consisted of 35,501,743 newly issued shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Stock Consideration”). The net cash received from the Business Combination was
10
subject to a working capital adjustment of $0.9 million. The Company also issued 70,860 shares related to the working capital adjustment.
The following table reconciles the elements of the Business Combination to the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit) for the year ended December 31, 2021:

Distributor Acquisitions
On June 4, 2021, the Company acquired High Tech Laser, Australia Pty Ltd (“HTL”), a distributor of the Company’s products in Australia. On July 1, 2021, the Company acquired Wigmore Medical France (“Wigmore”), Ecomedic GmbH (“Ecomedic”) and Sistemas Dermatologicos Internacionales (“Sidermica”), distributors of the Company’s products in France, Germany and Mexico, respectively. Through these acquisitions, the Company plans to directly sell to the respective markets and improve services for its products. Cash paid for the four distributors totaled $23.7 million.
The Company applied the acquisition method of accounting and established a new basis of accounting on the dates of the respective acquisitions. The assets acquired by the Company are accordingly measured at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The goodwill arising from the acquisitions consists largely of the business reputation of the acquired company in the marketplace and its assembled workforce. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.
The Company finalized the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the distributor acquisitions as of June 30, 2022. The following table summarizes the consideration and fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities
11
assumed at the dates of acquisition for the Wigmore, Ecomedic and Sidermica acquisitions and summarizes the HTL acquisition after measurement period adjustments.

___________
(1) Class A Common Stock issued as consideration for the acquisitions was 110,726, 28,157, 401,021 and 50,195 shares for HTL, Wigmore, Ecomedic and Sidermica, respectively.
(2) During the fourth quarter of 2021, adjustments were made to the Wigmore valuation pertaining to contingent consideration and intangible assets. Goodwill was adjusted due to an increase of $0.3 million in contingent consideration and a decrease of $1.0 million in intangible assets. Contingent consideration payments for the Wigmore acquisition were paid during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
(3) During the first quarter of 2022, adjustments were made to the Ecomedic valuation pertaining to acquisition date tax liability. Goodwill was adjusted due to an increase of $0.2 million to acquisition date tax liability.
(4) During the second quarter of 2022, adjustments were made to the Sidermica valuation pertaining to contingent consideration. Goodwill was adjusted due to an increase in contingent consideration of $1.98 million. Contingent consideration payments for the Sidermica acquisition were paid during the three months ended June 30, 2022.
Intangible assets acquired included customer relationships and non-compete agreements. The valuation of the acquired intangible asset was estimated by performing projections of discounted cash flows, whereby revenues and costs associated with each intangible asset are forecasted to derive expected cash flow which is discounted to present value at discount rates commensurate with perceived risk. The valuation and projection process is inherently subjective and relies on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). The weighted average amortization period of customer relationship was 5 years, while the non-compete agreements are amortized over 3 years.
The operating results of the distributor acquisitions from the dates of acquisitions through September 30, 2022 are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The operating results are not material to the consolidated financial statements, and, therefore, the Company has not presented pro forma results of operations for the distributor acquisitions.
Acquisition of The Personalized Beauty Company, Inc. (“Mxt”)
On April 12, 2022, the Company, through its indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, Edge Systems Intermediate, LLC, acquired The Personalized Beauty Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation d.b.a. Mxt. Consideration paid in the aggregate was $1.5 million plus equity consideration of $0.5 million or 28,733 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. Depending on the achievement of certain revenue milestones, the former Mxt shareholders are entitled to receive up to $30 million of earnout payments. The estimated fair value of the earnout was not material as of the acquisition date and as of September 30, 2022.
12
The Company accounted for this transaction as an asset acquisition based on an evaluation of the U.S. GAAP guidance for business combinations and concluded that the Company acquired developed technology of $1.9 million and inventory of $0.1 million. The Company concluded that the developed technology acquired from Mxt comprised substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired and that the assets acquired did not meet the definition of a business under the guidance for business combinations. The developed technology intangible asset is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 3 years and recorded in cost of sales.
Note 4 – Revenue Recognition
The Company has determined that each of its products is distinct and represents a separate performance obligation. The customer can benefit from each product on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer. The products are separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. Control over the Company’s products generally transfers to the customer upon shipment of the products from the Company’s warehouse facility. Therefore, revenue associated with product purchases is recognized at a point in time upon shipment to the intended customer. Typical payment terms provide for the customer to pay within 30 to 120 days, however, we provide an option for qualified customers to pay for delivery systems over 12 monthly installments.
Disaggregated Revenue
The Company generates revenue through manufacturing and selling Hydrafacial Delivery Systems (“Delivery Systems”). In conjunction with the sale of Delivery Systems, Hydrafacial also sells its serum solutions and consumables (collectively “Consumables”). Consumables are sold solely and exclusively by Hydrafacial and are available for purchase separately from the purchase of Delivery Systems. For both Delivery Systems and Consumables, revenue is recognized upon transfer of control to the customer, which generally takes place at the point of shipment.
The Company’s revenue disaggregated by major product line consists of the following for the periods indicated:

Note 6 — Leases
The Company does not own any real estate. The majority of the Company’s lease liability consists of the Company’s international office spaces and warehouses, all of which are classified as operating leases. The Company’s finance leases relate to leased equipment such as office and warehouse equipment. The finance lease balances are not material and are included in property and equipment, other accrued expenses, and other long-term liabilities of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 the Company entered into leases for a new experience center in Paris for a right-of-use asset and lease liability of $1.1 million as of lease inception commencement date and an office in Frankfurt for a right-of-use asset and liability of $1.6 million as of lease inception commencement date.
Note 7 — Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2022, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value. As of the Business Combination date, the Private Placement Warrants were valued using the Public Warrant Price, and was considered to be a Level 2 financial instrument as of that date. As of September 30, 2022, the value of the Private Placement Warrants was determined using their redemption value because these Private Placement Warrants are subject to redemption if the reference value of the common stock, as defined, is between $10.00 and $18.00 per share. The Private Placement Warrants are classified as a Level 2 financial instrument. There were no Public Warrants outstanding as of September 30, 2022.

Money Market Funds
The Company’s investment in money market funds that are classified as cash equivalents hold underlying investments with a weighted average maturity of 90 days or less and are recognized at fair value. The valuations of these securities are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets, when available, or pricing models whereby all significant inputs are observable or can be derived from or corroborated by observable market data. The Company reviews security pricing and assesses liquidity on a quarterly basis. As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s U.S. portfolio had no material exposure to money market funds with a fluctuating net asset value.
Warrant Liabilities
The Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants (collectively, the “Warrants”) were accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within Warrant liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Warrants are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). At September 30, 2022, the outstanding Private Placement Warrants was determined using their redemption value because these Warrants are subject to redemption if the reference value of the common stock, as defined, is between $10.00 and $18.00 per share. The Private Placement Warrants are classified as a Level 2 financial instruments as of September 30, 2022. There were no Public Warrants outstanding as of September 30, 2022.
On October 4, 2021, the Company issued a press release stating that it would redeem all of the Public Warrants that remained outstanding following 5:00 p.m. New York City time on November 3, 2021, for a redemption price of $0.10 per Public Warrant. All 16.2 million outstanding Public Warrants were either exercised for cash or on a cashless basis or were redeemed. These outstanding Public Warrants that were exercised comprised 15.3 million Public Warrants issued in connection with the Vesper initial public offering and an additional 0.9 million warrants that became Public Warrants due to the sale of Private Placement Warrants. Approximately 16.1 million Public Warrants were exercised for cash at an exercise price of $11.50 per share of Class A Common Stock, 74,104 Public Warrants were exercised on a cashless basis in exchange for an aggregate of 26,732 shares of Class A Common Stock, and 75,016 warrants were redeemed for $0.10 per warrant, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement. In 2021, total cash proceeds generated from exercises of the Public Warrants were $185.4 million. In addition, 0.3 million Private Placement Warrants were exercised in 2021 for total cash proceeds of $3.0 million. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had approximately 7 million Private Placement Warrants outstanding.

Note 10 – Long-term Debt
Credit Facility
On December 30, 2021, Edge Systems LLC, a California limited liability company (the “Borrower”) and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of The Beauty Health Company, as borrower, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Edge Systems Intermediate LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the direct parent of the Borrower that holds the Company’s foreign and domestic operating entities, and The Hydrafacial Company Mexico Holdings, LLC, a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Borrower that conducts the Mexican business operations , as guarantors (the “Guarantors” and, together with the Borrower, the “Loan Parties”), and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent.
The Credit Agreement provides for a $50 million revolving credit facility with a maturity date of December 30, 2026. In addition, the Borrower has the ability from time to time to increase the revolving commitments or enter into one or more tranches of term loans up to an additional aggregate amount not to exceed $50 million, subject to receipt of lender commitments and certain conditions precedent. As of September 30, 2022 the Credit Agreement remains undrawn and there is no outstanding balance under the revolving credit facility.
18
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by certain collateral of the Loan Parties and are guaranteed by the Guarantors, each of whom will derive substantial benefit from the revolving credit facility. In specified circumstances, additional guarantors are required to be added. The Credit Agreement contains various restrictive covenants subject to certain exceptions, including limitations on the Borrower’s ability to incur indebtedness and certain liens, make certain investments, become liable under contingent obligations in certain circumstances, make certain restricted payments, make certain dispositions within guidelines and limits, engage in certain affiliate transactions, alter its fundamental business or make certain fundamental changes, and requirements to maintain financial covenants, including maintaining a leverage ratio of no greater than 3.00 to 1.00 and maintaining a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.15 to 1.00. As of September 30, 2022 the Company was in compliance with all restricted and financial covenants.
The leverage ratio also determines pricing under the Credit Agreement. At the Borrower’s option, borrowings under the revolving credit facility accrue interest at a rate equal to either LIBOR or a specified base rate plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is linked to the leverage ratio. The margins range from 2.00% to 2.50% per annum for LIBOR loans and 1.00% to 1.50% per annum for base rate loans. The revolving credit facility is subject to a commitment fee payable on the unused revolving credit facility commitments ranging from 0.25% to 0.35%, depending on the Borrower’s leverage ratio. As of September 30, 2022 the Company’s unused commitment rate was 0.25%. The Borrower is also required to pay certain fees to the administrative agent and letter of credit issuers under the revolving credit facility. During the term of the revolving credit facility, the Borrower may borrow, repay and re-borrow amounts available under the revolving credit facility, subject to voluntary reductions of the swing line, letter of credit and revolving credit commitments.
Convertible Senior Notes
On September 14, 2021, the Company issued an aggregate of $750 million in principal amount of its 1.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued pursuant to, and are governed by, an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of September 14, 2021, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. Pursuant to the purchase agreement between the Company and the initial purchasers of the Notes, the Company granted the initial purchasers an option to purchase, for settlement within a period of 13 days from, and including, the date the Notes were first issued, up to an additional $100 million principal amount of Notes. The Notes issued on September 14, 2021 include the $100 million principal amount of Notes issued pursuant to the full exercise by the initial purchasers of such option.
The Notes are the Company’s senior, unsecured obligations and are (i) equal in right of payment with the Company’s existing and future senior, unsecured indebtedness; (ii) senior in right of payment to the Company’s existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the Notes; (iii) effectively subordinated to the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness; and (iv) structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, and (to the extent the Company is not a holder thereof) preferred equity, if any, of the Company’s subsidiaries.
The Notes accrue interest at a rate of 1.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2022. The Notes mature on October 1, 2026, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Before April 1, 2026, noteholders have the right to convert their Notes only upon the occurrence of certain events. From and after April 1, 2026, noteholders may convert their Notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. The Company will settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at the Company’s election. The initial conversion rate is 31.4859 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $31.76 per share of common stock. The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events. In addition, if certain corporate events that constitute a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) occur, then the conversion rate will, in certain circumstances, be increased for a specified period of time. The conversion price as of September 30, 2022 was $31.76 per share of common stock.
The Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations described below), at the Company’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after October 6, 2024, and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, but only if certain liquidity conditions are satisfied and the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (i) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice; and (ii) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice. However, the Company may not redeem less than all of the outstanding notes unless at least $100.0 million aggregate
19
principal amount of notes are outstanding and not called for redemption as of the time the Company sends the related redemption notice. The redemption price will be a cash amount equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, calling any Note for redemption will constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change with respect to that Note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that Note will be increased in certain circumstances if it is converted after it is called for redemption.
If certain corporate events that constitute a “Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) occur, then, subject to a limited exception for certain cash mergers, noteholders may require the Company to repurchase their Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. The definition of Fundamental Change includes certain business combination transactions involving the Company and certain de-listing events with respect to the Company’s common stock.
The Notes have customary provisions relating to the occurrence of “Events of Default” (as defined in the Indenture), which include the following: (i) certain payment defaults on the Notes (which, in the case of a default in the payment of interest on the Notes, will be subject to a 30-day cure period); (ii) the Company’s failure to send certain notices under the Indenture within specified periods of time; (iii) the Company’s failure to convert a Note upon the exercise of the conversion right with respect to such Note, subject to a three business-day cure period; (iv) the Company’s failure to comply with certain covenants in the Indenture relating to the Company’s ability to consolidate with or merge with or into, or sell, lease or otherwise transfer, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another person; (v) a default by the Company in its other obligations or agreements under the Indenture or the Notes if such default is not cured or waived within 60 days after notice is given in accordance with the Indenture; (vi) certain defaults by the Company or any of its subsidiaries with respect to indebtedness for money borrowed of at least $45,000,000; (vii) the rendering of certain judgments against the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries for the payment of at least $45,000,000, where such judgments are not discharged or stayed within 60 days after the date on which the right to appeal has expired or on which all rights to appeal have been extinguished and (viii) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization involving the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries.
If an Event of Default involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization events with respect to the Company (and not solely with respect to a significant subsidiary of the Company) occurs, then the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Notes then outstanding will immediately become due and payable without any further action or notice by any person. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then, the Trustee, by notice to the Company, or noteholders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Notes then outstanding to become due and payable immediately. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may elect, at its option, that the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to certain failures by the Company to comply with certain reporting covenants in the Indenture consists exclusively of the right of the noteholders to receive special interest on the Notes for up to 180 days at a specified rate per annum not exceeding 1.00% on the principal amount of the Notes.
The Notes were issued to the initial purchasers of such Notes in transactions not involving any public offering in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Notes were resold by the initial purchasers to persons whom the initial purchasers reasonably believe are “qualified institutional buyers,” as defined in, and in accordance with, Rule 144A under the Securities Act.
The total amount of debt issuance costs of $21.3 million was recorded as a reduction to “Convertible senior notes, net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are being amortized as interest expense over the term of the Notes using the effective interest method. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized $1.1 million and $3.2 million in interest expense related to the amortization of the debt issuance costs related to the Notes, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized $0.2 million in interest expense related to the amortization of the debt issuance costs related to the Notes.
The following is a summary of the Company’s Notes as of September 30, 2022:
Fair Value | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(in thousands) | Principal Amount | Unamortized Issuance Costs | Net Carrying Value | Amount | Level | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
1.25% Convertible Notes due 2026 | $ | 750,000 | $ | 16,914 | $ | 733,086 | $ | 603,750 | Level 2 |
20
The Notes are carried at face value less the unamortized debt issuance costs on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2022, the estimated fair value of the Notes was approximately $604 million. The estimated fair value of the Notes was determined based on the actual bid price of the Notes on September 30, 2022.
As of September 30, 2022, the remaining life of the Notes is approximately 4.0 years.
Capped Call Transactions
On September 9, 2021, in connection with the pricing of the offering of Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Base Capped Call Transactions”) with Bank of Montreal, Credit Suisse Capital LLC, Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, Mizuho Markets Americas LLC and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Option Counterparties”). In addition, on September 10, 2021, in connection with the initial purchasers’ exercise of their option to purchase additional Notes, the Company entered into additional capped call transactions (the “Additional Capped Call Transactions,” and, together with the Base Capped Call Transactions, the “Capped Call Transactions”) with each of the Option Counterparties. The Capped Call Transactions cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock that initially underlie the Notes, and are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to the Company’s common stock upon any conversion of Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap, based on the cap price of the Capped Call Transactions. The cap price of the Capped Call Transactions is initially $47.94, which represents a premium of 100% over the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock on September 9, 2021. The cost of the Capped Call Transactions was approximately $90.2 million.
The Capped Call Transactions are separate transactions, each between the Company and the applicable Option Counterparty, and are not part of the terms of the Notes and do not affect any holder’s rights under the Notes or the Indenture. Holders of the Notes will not have any rights with respect to the Capped Call Transactions.
Business Combination
In connection with the Closing of the Business Combination, all of Hydrafacial’s existing debt under its credit facilities were repaid and its credit facilities were extinguished. The related write-off of the deferred financing costs totaled $2.3 million and prepayment penalties totaled $2.0 million in 2021. Both are included in the Other expense (income), net on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Deferred financing costs expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 amounted to $0.5 million for the existing debt prior to the Closing of the Business Combination while issuance costs for the Notes amounted to $0.2 million.
Note 11 – Income Taxes
The income tax (benefit) expense for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022 is $(0.8) million and $1.9 million, respectively
The income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 is $1.1 million and $3.3 million, respectively.
The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 is 119.12% and (4.41%), compared to the federal statutory rate of 21.0%, is primarily due to the exclusion from taxable income of book income from the revaluation of warrant liabilities and adjustments for various non-deductible expenses for officer’s compensation and meals and entertainment.
The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 is 0.53% and 0.92%, which is lower than the federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the increase in valuation allowance and non-deductible expense related to stock-based compensation, transaction costs and meals and entertainment.
The Company has established a valuation allowance in the U.S. and Singapore against a portion of its deferred income tax assets because it is more likely than not that certain deferred tax assets will not be realized. In determining whether deferred tax assets are realizable, the Company considered numerous factors including historical profitability, the amount of future taxable income and the existence of taxable temporary differences that can be used to realize deferred tax assets.
21
Additionally, the Company applies ASC 740, the accounting standard governing uncertainty in income taxes that prescribes rules for recognition, measurement and classification in the financial statements of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company has gross unrecognized tax benefits of $0.1 million and $0.2 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
On March 11, 2021 the United States enacted the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“American Rescue Plan”). The American Rescue Plan includes various income and payroll tax measures. The Company does not expect a material impact of the American Rescue Plan on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
The Inflation Reduction Act, signed into law on August 16, 2022, provides tax incentives for certain industries and imposes a 15% minimum tax on the book income of certain large corporations and a 1% excise tax on stock buybacks. The Company may be subject to the new excise tax on certain stock buybacks that occur after December 31, 2022. The Company does not anticipate a material impact from the Inflation Reduction Act on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company filed such registration statement on July 19, 2021 and it was declared effective by the SEC on July 26, 2021. The Hydrafacial Stockholders are entitled to make up to an aggregate of two demands for registration, excluding short form demands, that the Company register shares of common stock held by these parties. In addition, the Restricted Stockholders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any registration statements filed pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement. The Company and the Restricted Stockholders agree in the Registration Rights Agreement to provide customary indemnification in connection with any offerings of common stock effected pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.

Note 16 - Stockholders’ Equity
Common Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 320,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 143,201,041 and 150,598,047, respectively, of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding. The Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share and all shares are outstanding. The Company has not declared or paid any dividends with respect to its Class A Common Stock.
In connection with the Business Combination on May 4, 2021, the Company issued 35,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to certain qualified institutional buyers and accredited investors that agreed to purchase such shares in connection with the Business Combination for aggregate consideration of $350 million. The Company also issued 35,501,743 shares of Class A Common Stock as partial compensation to the Hydrafacial Stockholders for the Business Combination.
Common Stock Repurchases
On September 26, 2022, the Company’s board of directors approved a common stock repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to $200 million of its outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. Under the share repurchase program, repurchases can be made from time to time using a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or accelerated share repurchase programs.
On September 27, 2022, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement with a financial institution to repurchase a total of $100 million of Class A Common Stock. The Company made a payment of $100 million and in turn, received an initial delivery of approximately 7.7 million shares, which represented 80% of the payment amount divided by the Company’s closing stock price on September 26, 2022 and were immediately retired. The total number of shares that will be received under the accelerated share repurchase agreement will be based upon the average daily volume weighted average price of our Class A Common Stock during the repurchase period, less an agreed upon discount. The final settlement of the accelerated repurchase agreement may occur between November 28, 2022 and February 28, 2023.
The accelerated share repurchase agreement is accounted for as a repurchase and retirement of shares and as an equity forward contract indexed to the Company’s Class A Common Stock. The equity forward contract is classified as an equity instrument under ASC 815 - 40, Contracts in Entity's Own Equity ("ASC 815 - 40"). The par value of the initial shares received is recorded as a reduction to the Company’s Class A Common Stock and the excess of par value is recognized as a reduction to additional paid in capital. The equity forward stock purchase contract is classified as an equity instrument and is recognized as a reduction to additional paid in capital.
The initial delivery of approximately 7.7 million shares reduced the number of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the transaction date and, as a result, reduced the weighted average number of Class A Common Stock outstanding used to calculate basic income per share and diluted income per share for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022.
The Company performed analysis of the average of the daily volume-weighted average price of our Class A Common Stock since the transaction date and has determined, as of September 30, 2022, that the final settlement of shares of Class A Common Stock under the accelerated share repurchase agreement is anti-dilutive and therefore excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

Recent Developments; Factors Affecting Our Performance
We remain attentive to economic and geopolitical conditions that may materially impact our business. We continue to explore and implement risk mitigation strategies in the face of these unfolding conditions and remain agile in adopting to changing circumstances. Such conditions have or may have global implications which may impact the future performance of our business in unpredictable ways.
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to disrupt business for us, our providers, and other companies with which we do business. Although many markets have recently shown encouraging signs of emergence from the pandemic, other markets and regions where we conduct business, particularly in China, have enacted sporadic and/or zero-tolerance COVID-19 policies leading to prolonged store closures and travel restrictions within those markets and regions. Although we had strong performance during windows of re-opening, these COVID-related restrictions continued to negatively impact consumer traffic for our providers.
We anticipate that COVID-19 will continue to cause intermittent store closures and supply chain challenges. We are mindful that these trends may continue to impact the pace of recovery, and that such recovery may be non-linear until COVID-19 containment measures are discontinued across all regions and normal consumer traffic resumes on a consistent basis. We currently expect that in the short term, any easing of containment measures and recovery of the impacted sectors of the economy will be gradual and uneven, as regions face resurgence of COVID-19 and related uncertainties. As a result, we anticipate that consumer spending habits and consumer confidence will continue to shift, causing future sales and volume trends to be non-linear.
Furthermore, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business going forward will depend on numerous factors we cannot reliably predict, including but not limited to the duration and scope of the pandemic; businesses and individuals’ actions in response to the pandemic; government actions to certain pandemic impacts; and the impact on economic activity including the possibility of further financial market instability.
Inflation
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we experienced the impact of inflation primarily on an increase in raw materials, shipping costs, and labor costs. We currently anticipate the impact of inflation to continue into the fourth quarter of 2022. To offset these trends, we plan to implement a range of mitigation strategies which could include price increases on our Delivery Systems and consumables, and/or accepting revenue in either U.S. dollar and/or local currency, as applicable. However, such measures may not fully offset the impact to our operating performance. After the resumption of more typical business conditions, the economics of developing, producing, launching, supporting and discontinuing products will continue to impact the timing of our sales and operating performance each period.
Foreign Exchange Rates
Our operations outside of the United States account for a portion of our revenues and expenses. As a result, a portion of our total revenue and expenses are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Recently, exchange rates between these currencies and the U.S. dollar have fluctuated significantly and may continue to do so in the future. Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates may have a significant impact on our operating results. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, fluctuations in the U.S. dollar relative to certain other foreign currencies – such as the Chinese Renminbi, British pound, Euro and, Australian dollar – reduced our reported revenue and expenses, principally related to net sales, cost of sales, controllable fixed costs, and advertising and promotional costs.
Global Supply Chain Challenges
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we experienced global supply chain challenges resulting from industry-wide component and/or raw material shortages and transportation delays. These challenges have negatively impacted order fill rates for our Delivery Systems and consumables, particularly in certain European and Asian countries.
We continue to take steps to improve order fill rates and mitigate the impact of these constraints by working closely with our suppliers to ensure the availability of components and/or raw materials such as procuring components with longer lead times than typical. We expect these challenges to continue through the remainder of the fiscal year 2022.
28
Regulation
It remains unclear how governmental authorities, including the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and foreign government authorities, will regulate the products that we sell, and in the case of the FDA, whether and when it will propose or implement new or additional regulations. Unforeseen regulatory obstacles or compliance costs may hinder our business in both the short and long-term as well.
The uncertainty around the timing, speed, and duration of the recovery from the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the impacts on our business of the ongoing restrictions in China, and the other macroeconomic challenges we are facing, will continue to affect our ability to grow sales profitably. We believe we can, to some extent, offset the impact of more ordinary challenges by continually developing and pursuing a diversified strategy with multiple engines of growth and by accelerating initiatives focused on areas of strength, discipline, and agility. As the current situation continues to progress, if economic and social conditions or the degree of uncertainty or volatility worsen, or the adverse conditions previously described are further prolonged, there could be a further negative effect on consumer confidence, demand, spending and willingness or ability to travel and, as a result, on our business. We are continuing to monitor these and other risks that may affect our business.
Key Operational and Business Metrics
In addition to the measures presented in our consolidated financial statements, we use the following key operational and business metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, develop financial forecasts, and make strategic decisions.

Total net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $20.7 million, or 30.3%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. Delivery System sales for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $12.9 million, or 35.7%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased primarily due to strength in Delivery Systems sales.
There were 1,860 Delivery Systems units sold for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Delivery Systems units sold for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased primarily due to the strong demand for the Company’s new Syndeo delivery system.
Consumables sales for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $7.7 million, or 24.2%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in Consumables sales was primarily attributable to increased placements of delivery systems and the adjoining consumption of consumables during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

30
months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to fixed cost leverage associated with higher volume and stronger realized delivery systems pricing. The improvement in adjusted gross margin was driven by fixed cost leverage associated with higher volume and stronger realized delivery systems pricing, and a one-time write-off primarily related to the discontinued Glow & Go pilot program, partly offset by headwinds from global supply chain challenges, inflationary pressures and foreign exchange rates.

Selling and marketing expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $9.3 million, or 30.6%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was driven by an increase in personnel-related expenses of $1.1 million resulting from an increase in headcount and commissions, and an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $2.5 million. The increase in selling and marketing expense was partially offset by a $2.6 million reduction in the accrual for estimated bonus expenses, which were originally accrued at 200% of target amounts. In addition, travel expenses increased by $1.5 million and marketing spend increased by $2.8 million due primarily to the investments in Americas and EMEA in key tradeshows and other marketing programs.

Research and development expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $0.3 million, or 15.3%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to increased spend in personnel of $0.3 million and certain product write-offs during the period.

General and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $4.6 million, or 23.9%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase of $0.3 million in stock-based compensation and $2.6 million in recruiting and other professional fees.

Other income, net was $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to other expense of $210.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The change was primarily driven by the changes in the fair values of our warrants and earn-out shares issued on July 15, 2021. During the three months ended September 30, 2022 the Company recognized other income of $4.3 million due to the change in the fair value of the warrant liabilities compared to an expense of $199.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2021 the Company recognized a $10.6 million expense for the change in the fair value of the earn-out shares liability.

Gross margin improved to 69.2% during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, driven by fixed cost leverage associated with higher volume and stronger realized delivery systems pricing, and a one-time write-off primarily related to the discontinued Glow & Go pilot program, partly offset by headwinds from global supply chain challenges, inflationary pressures and foreign exchange rates.

Selling and marketing expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $46.6 million, or 62.4%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 the year-over-year increase was due to an increase in sales commissions of $4.1 million, an increase in personnel-related expenses of $12.8 million, and an increase of stock-based compensation expense of $7.0 million. The increase in personnel-related expenses was partially offset by a $2.6 million reduction in the accrual for estimated bonus expenses, which were originally accrued at 200% of target amounts. Personnel-related training and travel expenses increased by $6.1 million due to the launch of Syndeo and advertising/promotional spend increased by $10.5 million due to investments in Americas and EMEA in key tradeshows and other marketing programs.

Research and development expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $0.7 million, or 10.7%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to additional personnel-related expense which increased by $2.3 million year-over-year. There were additional investments into our data infrastructure which increased by $1.2 million, offset by a $3.5 million decrease in Syndeo research and development expenses.

General and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $4.0 million, or 5.4%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase of $5.1 million in stock-based compensation, $5.6 million in personnel-related expenses, $7.7 million in recruiting and other professional fees, $2.7 million in legal fees, and $1.4 million in director and officer insurance, partially offset by a decrease in transaction costs of $28.4 million related to the consummation of the Business Combination. The increase in personnel-related expenses was partially offset by a $2.9 million reduction in the accrual for estimated bonus expenses, which were originally accrued at 200% of target amounts.

Other income, net, was $63.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to other expense of $331.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The change was primarily driven by the changes in the fair values of our warrant liabilities and earn-out share liabilities which were issued on July 15, 2021. During the nine months ended
33
September 30, 2022, the Company recognized other income of $71.5 million due to the change in the fair value of the warrant liabilities versus a $271.3 million expense for nine months ended September 30, 2021. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 the Company recognized a $47.1 million expense for the change in the fair value of the earn-out shares liability.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of capital have been funded by (i) cash flow from operating activities, (ii) net proceeds received from the consummation of the Business Combination, (iii) net proceeds received from the Notes (as defined below), and (iv) net proceeds received from the exercise of Public and Private Placement Warrants. As of September 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $684.2 million. A revolving credit facility of $50 million is also available as a source of capital. As of September 30, 2022, the revolving credit facility remains undrawn and there is no outstanding balance thereunder.
Our operating cash flows result primarily from cash received from sales of delivery systems and consumables, offset primarily by cash payments made for products and services, employee compensation, payment processing and related transaction costs, operating leases, marketing expenses, and interest payments on our long-term obligations. Cash received from our customers and other activities generally corresponds to our net sales.
Our sources of liquidity and cash flows are used to fund ongoing operations, research and development projects for new products, services, and technologies, and provide ongoing support services for our providers and customers. Over the next year, we anticipate that we will use our liquidity and cash flows from our operations to fund our growth. In addition, as part of our business strategy, we occasionally evaluate potential acquisitions of businesses and products and technologies. Accordingly, a portion of our available cash may be used at any time for the acquisition of complementary products, services, or businesses. Such potential transactions may require substantial capital resources, which may require us to seek additional debt or equity financing. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully identify suitable acquisition candidates, complete acquisitions, integrate acquired businesses into our current operations, or expand into new markets. Furthermore, we cannot provide assurances that additional financing will be available to us in any required time frame and on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.
We expect capital expenditures of up to $20.0 million for the year ending December 31, 2022. Based on our sources of capital (including the cash consideration received from the consummation of the Business Combination and the cash received from the issuance of the Notes), management believes that we have sufficient liquidity to satisfy our anticipated working capital requirements for our ongoing operations and obligations for at least the next twelve months. However, we will continue to evaluate our capital expenditure needs based upon factors including but not limited to our rate of revenue growth, potential acquisitions, the timing and amount of spending on research and development, growth in sales and marketing activities, the timing of new product launches, timing and investments needed for international expansion, the continuing market acceptance of the Company’s products and services, expansion, and overall economic conditions.
If cash generated from operations is insufficient to satisfy our capital requirements, we may have to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain expanded credit facilities to fund our operating expenses. The sale of additional equity would result in additional dilution to our stockholders. Also, the incurrence of additional debt financing would result in debt service obligations and the instruments governing such debt could provide for operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. In the event such additional capital is needed in the future, there can be no assurance that such capital will be available to us, or, if available, that it will be in amounts and on terms acceptable to us. If we cannot raise additional funds when we need or want them, our operations and prospects could be negatively affected. However, if cash flows from operations become insufficient to continue operations at the current level, and if no additional capital were obtained, then management would restructure the Company in a way to preserve our business while maintaining expenses within operating cash flows.
Credit Agreement
On December 30, 2021, Hydrafacial LLC, a California limited liability company f.k.a. Edge Systems LLC (the “Borrower”) and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of The Beauty Health Company, as borrower, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Edge Systems Intermediate LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the direct parent of the Borrower that holds the Company’s foreign and domestic operating entities, and The Hydrafacial Company Mexico Holdings, LLC, a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Borrower that conducts the Mexican business operations, as guarantors (the “Guarantors” and, together with the Borrower, the “Loan Parties”), and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent.
34
The Credit Agreement provides for a $50 million revolving credit facility with a maturity date of December 30, 2026. In addition, the Borrower has the ability from time to time to increase the revolving commitments or enter into one or more tranches of term loans up to an additional aggregate amount not to exceed $50 million, subject to receipt of lender commitments and certain conditions precedent. As of September 30, 2022, the Credit Agreement remains undrawn and there is no outstanding balance under the revolving credit facility.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by certain collateral of the Loan Parties and are guaranteed by the Guarantors, each of whom will derive substantial benefit from the revolving credit facility. In specified circumstances, additional guarantors are required to be added. The Credit Agreement contains various restrictive covenants subject to certain exceptions, including limitations on the Borrower’s ability to incur indebtedness and certain liens, make certain investments, become liable under contingent obligations in certain circumstances, make certain restricted payments, make certain dispositions within guidelines and limits, engage in certain affiliate transactions, alter its fundamental business or make certain fundamental changes, and requirements to maintain financial covenants, including maintaining a leverage ratio of no greater than 3.00 to 1.00 and maintaining a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.15 to 1.00.
The leverage ratio also determines pricing under the Credit Agreement. At the Borrower’s option, borrowings under the revolving credit facility accrue interest at a rate equal to either LIBOR or a specified base rate plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is linked to the leverage ratio. The margins range from 2.00% to 2.50% per annum for LIBOR loans and 1.00% to 1.50% per annum for base rate loans. The revolving credit facility is subject to a commitment fee payable on the unused revolving credit facility commitments ranging from 0.25% to 0.35%, depending on the Borrower’s leverage ratio. As of September 30, 2022 the Company’s unused commitment rate was 0.25%. The Borrower is also required to pay certain fees to the administrative agent and letter of credit issuers under the revolving credit facility. During the term of the revolving credit facility, the Borrower may borrow, repay and re-borrow amounts available under the revolving credit facility, subject to voluntary reductions of the swing line, letter of credit and revolving credit commitments.
Convertible Senior Notes
On September 14, 2021, we issued $750 million aggregate principal amount of Notes in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Notes were issued pursuant to, and are governed by, an indenture, dated as of September 14, 2021, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Notes accrue interest at a rate of 1.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2022. The Notes will mature on October 1, 2026, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Before April 1, 2026, noteholders have the right to convert their Notes only upon the occurrence of certain events. From and after April 1, 2026, noteholders may convert their Notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. We will settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of our Class A Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of our Class A Common Stock, at our election. The initial conversion rate is 31.4859 shares of Class A Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $31.76 per share of Class A Common Stock. We used $90.2 million of the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to fund the cost of entering into capped call transactions. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes were approximately $638.7 million, net of capped call transaction costs of $90.2 million and debt issuance costs totaling $21.3 million. See Note 10 - Debt, to the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report.
Capped Call Transactions
Capped call transactions cover the aggregate number of shares of our Class A Common Stock that will initially underlie the Notes, and generally reduce potential dilution to our common stock upon any conversion of Notes and/or offset any cash payments we may make in excess of the principal amount of the converted Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap, based on the cap price of the capped call transactions. See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report.
Contractual Obligations and Other Commercial Commitments
As of September 30, 2022, our material contractual obligations are approximately $37.5 million in interest-only payments related to the Notes, the Notes of $750 million, and $16.4 million in lease obligations.
Known Trends or Uncertainties
35
The majority of our customers are in the medical, (dermatologists and plastic surgeons), aesthetician, and beauty retail industry. Although we have not seen any significant reduction in revenues to date due to consolidations, we have seen some consolidation in our industry during economic downturns. These consolidations have not had a negative effect on our total sales; however, should consolidations and downsizing in the industry continue to occur, those events could adversely impact our revenues and earnings going forward.
Furthermore, during the nine months ended September 2022, we have experienced global supply chain disruptions and a significant inflationary impact, including higher interest rates and capital costs, increased shipping costs, supply shortages, increased costs of labor and strengthened U.S. dollar. In particular, we have seen increased costs associated with our global operations in foreign countries as a result of weakening exchange rates, as our international sales are primarily denominated in the local currency of such foreign country. Also, as a result of the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, we stopped selling and shipping products into our distributor in Russia, which has negatively impacted our overall net sales in the EMEA region. These impacts have created headwinds for our products and profits that we expect to continue through the remainder of the year.
In addition, the extent to which the uncertainty around the timing, speed and recovery from the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business going forward will depend on numerous factors we cannot reliably predict, including further governmental actions in the countries in which we operate, such as China’s ongoing zero COVID policy, and the other macro challenges we are facing, as well as the impact of any governmental actions on the economy, including the possibility of recession or financial market instability. These factors may adversely impact consumer, business, and government spending as well as customers' ability to pay for our products and services on an ongoing basis.
As a result, if economic and social conditions or the degree of uncertainty or volatility worsen, or the adverse conditions previously described are further prolonged, our growth rate could be affected by consolidation and downsizing in the medical, esthetician, and beauty retail industry. We are continuing to monitor these and other risks that may affect our business so that we can respond appropriately.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not maintain any off-balance sheet arrangements, transactions, obligations or other relationships with unconsolidated entities that would be expected to have a material current or future effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities of $101.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to investment in inventory in relation to the global launch of Syndeo Delivery Systems, combined with a corresponding shift in the average collection period of receivables related to increased payment plan participation on delivery systems globally, as well as continued investments globally in people and systems to fuel future growth. The net income of $40.6 million was driven by
36
non-cash adjustments of $20.7 million, with the largest adjustment being the fair value adjustment to warrant liabilities. The decrease in working capital of $121.1 million was primarily due to the increase in accounts receivable of $40.6 million and the increase in inventory of $69.3 million.
Net cash used in operating activities of $31.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable of $17.3 million. The net loss of $357.8 million was driven by non-cash adjustments of $343.5 million, primarily related to fair value adjustments to earn-out shares and warrant liabilities, and a decrease in working capital of $17.4 million.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of $16.0 million was primarily related to $9.9 million in capital expenditures for property and equipment, $1.5 million in capital expenditures for the asset acquisition of Mxt and related developed technology, and $4.7 million in capitalized software.
Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 of $29.2 million was primarily related to our business acquisitions of distributors in Australia, Germany, Mexico and France with cash paid of $22.9 million, net of cash acquired, $4.9 million in capital expenditures and $2.2 million in capitalized software.
Financing Activities
There was $102.8 million used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of which $100.0 million was used in relation to the accelerated stock repurchase and $2.8 million in relation to the distributor acquisitions of Wigmore and Sidermica. The Company did not withdraw from the line of credit and there were no transactions related to the warrants during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Net cash from financing activities of $770.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily related to proceeds received from the issuance of convertible senior notes and the Business Combination. The proceeds were offset by the payoff of long-term debt of $225.5 million and costs from our issuance of convertible senior notes.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, stockholders’ equity/deficit, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures. We re-evaluate our estimates on an on-going basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the uncertainty inherent in these matters, actual results may differ from these estimates and could differ based upon other assumptions or conditions.
There has been no change to our critical accounting policies as included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 of the notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in the section titled “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion about new accounting pronouncements adopted and not yet adopted.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), management utilizes certain non-GAAP performance measures, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted EBITDA (loss), adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted gross profit, and adjusted gross margin, for purposes of evaluating our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that these non-GAAP operating measures, when reviewed collectively with our GAAP financial information, provide useful supplemental information to investors in assessing our operating performance.
37
Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Adjusted net income (loss), adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are key performance measures that we use to assess our operating performance. Because adjusted net income (loss), adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin facilitate internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis, we use these measures for business planning purposes.
We also believe this information will be useful for investors to facilitate comparisons of our operating performance and better identify trends in our business. We expect adjusted EBITDA margin to increase over the long-term as we continue to scale our business and achieve greater operating leverage.
We calculate adjusted net income (loss) as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude: change in fair value of Public and Private Placement Warrants, change in fair value of earn-out shares liability, other expense (income), net; amortization expense; stock-based compensation expense; management fees incurred from our historical private equity owners; one-time or non-recurring items such as transaction costs (including transactions costs with respect to the Business Combination); restructuring costs (including those associated with COVID-19) and the aggregate adjustment for income taxes for the tax effect of the adjustments described above.
We calculate adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude: change in fair value of Public and Private Placement Warrants, change in fair value of earn-out shares liability, other expense (income), net; interest expense; income tax benefit (expense); depreciation and amortization expense; stock-based compensation expense; foreign currency (gain) loss; management fees incurred from our historical private equity owners; one-time or non-recurring items such as transaction costs (including transactions costs with respect to the Business Combination); and restructuring costs (including those associated with COVID-19).

Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin
We use adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin to measure profitability and the ability to scale and leverage the costs of Delivery Systems and Consumables. The continued growth of Delivery Systems is expected to improve adjusted gross margin, as additional Delivery Systems sold will increase our recurring Consumables net sales, which has higher margins.
We believe adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin are useful measures to us and to our investors to assist in evaluating our operating performance because they provide consistency and direct comparability with past financial performance and between fiscal periods, as the metric eliminates the effects of amortization and depreciation and stock-based compensation expense, which are non-cash expenses that may fluctuate for reasons unrelated to overall continuing operating performance. Adjusted gross margin has been and will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, including the product mix, geographic mix, direct vs. indirect mix, the average selling price on Delivery Systems, and new product launches. We expect our adjusted gross margin to fluctuate over time depending on the factors described above.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Interest Rate Risk
We had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $684.2 million as of September 30, 2022. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. We have not been exposed, nor do we anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates. A hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates during any of the periods presented would not have had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
We are primarily potentially exposed to changes in short-term interest rates with respect to our cost of borrowing under our Credit Agreement, from which we have yet to draw on. Our debt obligations related to the Notes are long-term in nature with fixed interest rates. We monitor our cost of borrowing, taking into account our funding requirements, and our expectations for short-term rates in the future. A hypothetical 10% change in the interest rate on our Credit Agreement for all periods presented would not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
39
Foreign Currency Risk
Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Due to our international operations, we have foreign currency risks related to revenue and operating expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily the China Renminbi, British pound, Euro and, Australian dollar. Our international sales contracts are primarily denominated in the local currency of the customer making the purchase. In addition, a portion of our operating expenses are incurred outside the United States and are denominated in foreign currencies. Increases in the relative value of the U.S. dollar to other currencies (e.g. unfavorable movement in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the currencies in which we conduct sales in foreign countries) will negatively affect our revenue and net operating results as expressed in U.S. dollars.
We have experienced and may continue to experience fluctuations in net loss as a result of transaction gains or losses related to remeasuring certain current asset and current liability balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the entities in which they are recorded. We have not engaged in the hedging of foreign currency transactions to date, although we may choose to do so in the future.
While we are not currently contractually obligated to pay increased costs due to changes in exchange rates, to the extent that exchange rates move unfavorably for our suppliers, they may seek to pass these additional costs on to us, which could have a material impact on our gross margins. Our operating results and cash flows are, therefore, subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Inflation Risk
Inflation has the potential to adversely affect our liquidity, business, financial condition, and results of operations by increasing our overall cost structure, particularly if we are unable to achieve commensurate increases in the prices we charge our customers. The existence of inflation in the economy has resulted in, and may continue to result in, higher interest rates and capital costs, shipping costs, supply shortages, increased costs of labor, weakening exchange rates, and other similar effects. While it is difficult to accurately measure the impact of inflation due to the imprecise nature of the estimates required, we have experienced the effects of inflation during the periods covered by this quarterly report on our results of operations and financial condition, and we expect to experience additional effects such as additional cost increases in the near future if inflation continues to persist. Additionally, because we purchase materials from our suppliers, we may be adversely impacted by their inability to adequately mitigate inflationary, industry, or economic pressures.
Furthermore, although we may take measures to mitigate the impact of this inflation, if these measures are not effective, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity could be materially adversely affected. Even if such measures are effective, there could be a difference between the timing of when these beneficial actions impact our results of operations and when the cost of inflation is incurred.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2022. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, due to the material weaknesses that existed as of December 31, 2020 and continued to exist as of September 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective.
40
This was accordingly disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020 and in our Definitive Proxy Statement filed on April 7, 2021.
Previously Identified Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In connection with the audit of Hydrafacial as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, we previously identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. The material weaknesses were related to segregation of duties, including the review and approval of journal entries, our lack of sufficient accounting resources and the lack of a formalized risk assessment process. These material weaknesses may not allow for us to have proper segregation of duties and the ability to close our books and records and report our results on a timely basis.
In response to the material weaknesses, management completed the following remediation actions:
•We established a formal risk assessment process to identify and evaluate risks relevant to financial reporting objectives
•We implemented segregation of duties around the approval of journal entries and accounting processes
•We implemented a training program addressing internal control over financial reporting, including educating control owners regarding the requirements of each control
We determined that the material weakness around lack of sufficient accounting resources continued to exist as of December 31, 2021. This material weakness may not allow for us to have proper segregation of duties and the ability to close our books and report our results on a timely basis.
We have begun the process of, and we are focused on, designing and implementing effective internal controls measures to improve our internal control over financial reporting and remediate the material weakness. Our efforts include a number of actions:
•We are actively recruiting additional personnel, in addition to engaging and utilizing third party consultants and specialists to supplement our internal resources and segregate key functions within our business processes, if appropriate;
•We are designing and implementing additional review procedures within our accounting and finance department to provide more robust and comprehensive internal controls over financial reporting that address the relative financial statement assertions and risks of material misstatement within our business processes;
•We are designing and implementing information technology and application controls in our financially significant systems to address our relative information processing objectives
While these actions and planned actions are subject to ongoing management evaluation and will require validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over a sustained period of financial reporting cycles, we are committed to the continuous improvement of our internal controls over financial reporting and will continue to diligently review our internal control over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the remediation efforts described in this Item 4, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II— OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
For a description of our material pending legal proceedings, see Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies, to our consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Please carefully consider the information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2022 (the “Annual Report”) and Part II “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 (the “2022 Quarterly Report”), which could materially affect our business, financial condition, or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report and the 2022 Quarterly Report, as well as other risks and uncertainties, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition, which in turn could materially and adversely affect the trading price of shares of our Class A Common Stock. Except as set forth below, there have been no material updates or changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report and 2022 Quarterly Reports; provided, however, additional risks not currently known or currently material to us may also harm our business.
There can be no assurance that we will continue to repurchase our shares of Class A Common Stock at all or that we will repurchase shares of Class A Common Stock at favorable prices.
On September 26, 2022, the Company’s board of directors approved a common stock repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to $200 million of its outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, and as of September 30, 2022, the remaining value of shares that may be repurchased pursuant to such program was $100 million. On September 27, 2022, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association to repurchase an aggregate of up to $100.0 million of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. Our intent to continue to repurchase our shares is subject to capital availability and periodic determinations by our board of directors that share repurchases are in the best interest of our stockholders and are in compliance with all laws and agreements applicable to the declaration and payment of the repurchasing of shares by us. Future share repurchases may also be affected by, among other factors, our views on potential future capital requirements for investments in acquisitions and the funding of our research and development; legal risks; changes in federal, state, and international tax laws or corporate laws; contractual restrictions, such as financial or operating covenants in our debt arrangements; availability of onshore cash flow; and changes to our business model. We can provide no assurance that we will continue to repurchase shares of our Class A Common Stock at favorable prices, if at all.
