Overview
Founded in 1997, HydraFacial is a category-creating beauty health company. Its offerings in skin care and scalp health occupy a position at the intersection of medical aesthetics and traditional skin and personal care products. HydraFacial treatments are convenient, affordable, personalized and have demonstrated effectiveness. HydraFacial distributes its products in 87 countries through multiple channels including day spas, hotels, dermatologists, plastic surgeons and beauty retail. HydraFacial's business model has two predominant revenue streams: Delivery Systems (as defined below) and Consumables (as defined below). Delivery Systems are purchased up-front. Consumable single- and multi-use serums, tips and boosters or "Consumables" to provide treatments using our Delivery Systems are purchased on a recurring basis. The expansion of the number of Delivery Systems installed, or "install base," increases the foundation for future revenue by creating a larger base to drive consumable sales. We believe that as the install base grows and Delivery Systems become more productive, recurring revenue will grow to become a larger share of the business. HydraFacial has more than tripledNet Sales from$48 million for the year endedDecember 31, 2016 to$166 million for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 , growing its footprint both in the US and internationally. Net sales decreased in 2020 as a result of COVID-19 restrictions, but have rebounded since the onset of the pandemic, as Net sales increased$33.5 million , or 97.2%, for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2021 when compared with the Net sales for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2020 . For the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 compared toSeptember 30, 2020 , Net sales increased$101.0 million , or 124.3%. Financial metrics we use to track our goals include revenue growth, Adjusted gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA. For a definition of Key Performance Indicators ("KPIs") see the section titled "-Key Operational and Business Metrics". 30 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Recent Developments Convertible Senior Notes OnSeptember 14, 2021 , we issued$750 million aggregate principal amount of our 1.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the " 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 ofSeptember 14, 2021 , between the Company andU.S. Bank National Association , as trustee. 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 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$21.1 million . See Note 9 - Debt, to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report. Capped Call Transactions Capped call transactions cover the aggregate number of shares of our 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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report. Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and we expect will 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 at the same time implementing multi-step policies with the goal of re-opening certain markets, we are working to ensure our compliance while also maintaining business continuity for essential operations in our facilities. The COVID-19 pandemic caused us to experience several adverse impacts primarily in the first and second quarters of fiscal year 2020, including extended sales cycles to close new orders for our products, delays in shipping and installing orders due to closed facilities and travel limitations and delays and failures in collecting accounts receivable. The rapid development and uncertainty of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. However, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the measures taken to contain it, present material uncertainty and risk with respect to our performance and financial results. In particular, closure of providers, restrictions on performing personal services, consumer perceptions about the safety of HydraFacial's services, disruption in the supply chain of raw materials and components, and inefficiencies in the manufacturing of products due to social distancing and hygiene protocols. Disruptions in the capital markets as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic may also adversely affect our business if these impacts continue for a prolonged period and we need additional liquidity. During the year endedDecember 31, 2020 , we took and may continue to take, actions to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our cash flow and results of operations and financial condition. Starting inApril 2020 , after the government mandated shutdowns, we experienced a significant decline in sales during the second quarter of 2020, and took certain corrective measures. HydraFacial furloughed a majority of its workforce and went through a restructuring process, which included the write-off of certain product lines, and costs incurred for assistance provided by third-party consultants to assist in managing the downturn. Subsequent to the downturn experienced during the second quarter of 2020, our revenues increased, and we returned to having positive Adjusted EBITDA in the latter half of 2020. This trend continued into the third quarter of 2021. We successfully managed the variable portion of our cost structure to better align with revenue, which was significantly reduced during the downturn. Additionally, nearly all of our furloughed employees have returned to work.
Business Combination and Public Company Costs
OnMay 4, 2021 , HydraFacial consummated the previously announced Business Combination pursuant to that certain Merger Agreement, datedDecember 8, 2020 withVesper Healthcare Acquisition Corp. ("Vesper"), pursuant to which Vesper acquired, directly or indirectly, 100% of the stock of HydraFacial and its subsidiaries. Upon closing, the combined entity was renamed TheBeauty Health Company and trades on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol "SKIN". 31 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the aggregate merger consideration paid to the HydraFacial stockholders in connection with the Business Combination was approximately$975.0 million less HydraFacial's net indebtedness as of the Closing Date, transaction expenses, and net working capital relative to a target. In connection with the transaction, all of HydraFacial's existing debt under its credit facilities were repaid and the note receivable from its stockholder was settled. The merger consideration included both cash consideration and consideration in the form of newly issued Class A Common Stock. The aggregate cash consideration paid to the former HydraFacial stockholders at the Closing was approximately$368.0 million , consisting of the Vesper's cash and cash equivalents as of the closing of the Business Combination including proceeds of$350.0 million from Vesper's Private Placement of an aggregate of 35,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, and approximately$433.0 million of cash available to Vesper from the Trust Account that held the proceeds from Vesper's initial public offering after giving effect to income and franchise taxes payable in respect of interest income earned in the Trust Account), and redemptions that were elected by Vesper's public stockholders, minus approximately$224.0 million used to repay HydraFacial's outstanding indebtedness at the Closing, minus approximately$94.0 million of transaction expenses of HydraFacial and Vesper, minus$100.0 million . The remainder of the consideration paid to the HydraFacial stockholders consisted of 35,501,743 newly issued shares of Class A Common Stock. The foregoing consideration paid to the HydraFacial stockholders may be further increased by amounts payable as earn-out shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding the legal form of the Business Combination pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Vesper was treated as the "acquired" company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on the following: •HydraFacial's existing shareholders were expected to have the largest minority interest of the voting power in the combined entity under the minimum and maximum redemption scenarios; •HydraFacial's operations prior to the acquisition comprise the only ongoing operations of the combined entity; •HydraFacial senior management were retained and compose the majority of the senior management of the combined entity; •HydraFacial's relative valuation and results of operations compared to Vesper; and •pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, HydraFacial was given the right to designate certain initial members of the board of directors of the post-combination company immediately after giving effect to the transactions. Consideration was given to the fact that Vesper paid a purchase price consisting of a combination of cash and equity consideration and its shareholders would have significant voting power. However, based on the aforementioned factors of management, board representation, largest minority shareholder, and the continuation of the HydraFacial business as well as size it was determined that accounting for the Business Combination as a reverse recapitalization was appropriate. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of the combined entity will represent a continuation of the financial statements of HydraFacial with the acquisition being treated as the equivalent of HydraFacial issuing stock for the net assets of Vesper, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Vesper were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Following the consummation of the Business Combination, we became anSEC -registered and NASDAQ-listed company, which required us to hire additional staff and implement procedures and processes to address public company regulatory requirements and customary practices. We have incurred and expect to incur additional annual expenses for, among other things, directors' and officers' liability insurance, director fees and additional internal and external accounting, legal and administrative resources and fees. Factors Affecting Our Performance Market Trends HydraFacial is a pioneer in the attractive and growing beauty-health industry and there are several emerging market trends that we believe will play a key role in shaping the future of this industry. Recent growth in the skincare industry has been driven by an emphasis on skincare rather than cosmetics and HydraFacial is poised to capture a larger share of wallet from consumers. Further, HydraFacial's market research conducted in 2019 demonstrated that consumers are increasingly willing to spend on high-end beauty health products. To the extent disposable income grows, we expect impacts of this trend to be amplified. We believe these favorable market trends will continue and strengthen going forward. 32 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Demographics HydraFacial benefits from a large, young and diverse customer base and the ability to serve a large percentage of the population given that HydraFacial's patented technology addresses all skin, regardless of type, age or gender. At the intersection of the medical and consumer retail markets, the large potential customer base should provide significant upside to drive top-line growth. HydraFacial over indexes with males, significantly increasing the Total Addressable Market (TAM) compared to peers and the mix of male customers is growing at two times the rate of female customers. HydraFacial customers are young; approximately 50% of HydraFacial customers are Millennials, and approximately 30% of HydraFacial's beauty retail customers are under the age of 24. As the Millennial and Gen Z consumers age, they appear to be taking skincare more seriously and willing to invest in premium treatments, such as those offered by HydraFacial. Marketing Effective marketing is vital to our ability to drive growth. We plan to further our successful demand-generating activities through educational campaigns that focus on our brand, values, and quality, as well as enhancing our digitally integrated media campaigns. Innovation Our strategy involves innovating our current product offering while also diversifying into attractive adjacent categories where we can leverage our strengths, capabilities and community. We intend to maintain investment in research and development to stay at the forefront of cutting-edge technology. Technology Our investments in technology enhance the HydraFacial experience for consumers while capturing valuable and leverageable data. As we expand our capabilities, we hope to enable the world's largest skin health database. We believe this data will allow us to drive habituation by enhancing personalization, access, trend identification and consumer education. Geographic Expansion HydraFacial's recent growth has been driven in part by our international strategy. 34% of HydraFacial's total revenue during the third quarter of fiscal year 2021 came from outsidethe United States andCanada . Our diverse distribution channels create a significant opportunity within our existing retail and wholesale channels, as well as new locations abroad. We plan to expand our global footprint, building out our team and infrastructure for further penetration acrossAsia ,Europe andLatin America . 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.

33-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA Margin Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted EBITDA (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA margin are key performance measures that our management uses to assess our operating performance. See the section titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures-adjusted net income (loss), adjusted EBITDA (loss) and adjusted EBITDA margin" for information regarding our use of Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA and reconciliations of Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA to net loss. Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin We use Adjusted gross profit and Adjusted gross margin to measure our profitability and ability to scale and leverage the costs of our Delivery Systems and Consumables sales. See the section titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures-adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin" for information regarding our use of Adjusted gross profit and a reconciliation of Adjusted gross profit to gross profit. Components of our Results of OperationsNet Sales Net sales consists of the sale of products to retail and wholesale customers through e-commerce and distributor sales. HydraFacial generates revenue through manufacturing and selling HydraFacial and Perk 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. Cost of Sales HydraFacial's cost of sales consists of Delivery System and Consumables product costs, including the cost of materials, labor costs, overhead, depreciation and amortization of developed technology, shipping and handling costs, and the costs associated with excess and obsolete inventory. As we launch new products and expand our presence internationally, we expect to incur higher cost of sales as a percentage of net sales because we have not yet achieved economies of scale with these items. Selling and Marketing Selling and marketing expense consists of personnel-related expenses, sales commissions, travel costs, training and advertising expenses incurred in connection with the sale of our products. We intend to continue to invest in our sales and marketing capabilities in the future and expect this expense to increase in absolute dollars in future periods as we release new products, grow our global footprint, and drive consumer demand in the ecosystem. Selling and marketing expense as a percentage of net sales may fluctuate from period to period based on net sales and the timing of our investments in our sales and marketing functions as these investments may vary in scope and scale over future periods. Research and Development Research and development expense primarily consists of personnel-related expenses, tooling and prototype materials, technology investments, and other expenses incurred in connection with the development of new products and internal technologies. We expect our research and development expenses to vary from period to period as a percentage of net sales, as HydraFacial plans to continue to innovate and invest in new technologies and to enhance existing technologies to fuel future growth as a category creator. General and Administrative General and administrative expenses include personnel-related expenses, professional fees, credit card and wire fees and facilities-related costs primarily for our executive, finance, accounting, legal, human resources, and IT functions. General and administrative expense also includes fees for professional services principally comprising legal, audit, tax and accounting services and insurance. We expect to continue to incur additional general and administrative expenses as a result of operating as a public company, including expenses related to compliance and reporting obligations of public companies, and increased costs for insurance, investor relations expenses and professional services. In addition, we expect to continue to incur additional IT expenses as we scale HydraFacial and enhance our ecommerce, digital and data utilization capabilities. As a result, we expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase in absolute dollars in future periods and vary from period to period as a percentage of net sales. 34 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Other Income (Expense), Net Other income (expense) consists of the change in fair value of both the public and private placement warrants and earn-out shares liability, interest expense, deferred financing write-off costs and prepayment penalties related to the repayment of our long-term debt, foreign currency transaction gains and losses and investment income. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are generated by settlements of intercompany balances and invoices denominated in other currencies other than the reporting currency. We expect other income (expense) to increase in absolute dollars as we grow internationally and obtain additional financing. Other income (expense) as a percentage of revenue will fluctuate period to period along with interest rates, exchange rates and other factors not related to normal business operations. Income Tax Provision (Benefit) The provision for income taxes consists primarily of income taxes related to federal, state and foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct business. Results of Operations The following tables set forth our consolidated results of operations in dollars and as a percentage of net sales for the periods presented. The period-to-period comparisons of our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected in the future. The results of operations data for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 andSeptember 30, 2020 have been derived from the interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

General and administrative expense for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 increased$53.9 million , or 274.6%, compared to the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020 . Transaction costs increased by$32.3 million related to the consummation of the Business Combination, primarily consisting of$21.0 million paid to the former owner of HydraFacial as well as professional fees for financial advisory, legal and accounting services. The consummation of the Business Combination during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 also drove an increase of$6.7 million in stock-based compensation which includes$1.4 million in related to the accelerated vesting due to Business Combination. Personnel-related expenses increased by$5.8 million primarily due to increased headcount and higher sales. Other (Income) Expense, Net and Income Tax Provision Nine Months Ended September 30, Change (in millions) 2021 2020 Amount % Other expense, net $ 331.7$ 15.5 $ 316.2 2043.8 % Income tax benefit $ (3.3)$ (6.3) $ 3.0 (47.2) % Other expense, net, was$331.7 million for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 compared to$15.5 million for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020 . The increase was primarily driven by the changes in the fair values of our Warrant liability and Earn-out Share liability of$271.3 million and$47.1 million , respectively. In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, we repaid all long-term borrowings and incurred a total of$4.3 million in prepayment penalties and deferred financing cost write-offs. Income tax benefit decreased primarily due to an increase in valuation allowance and various non-deductible expenses. Liquidity and Capital Resources Our operations have been funded primarily through cash flow from operating activities and net proceeds received from the consummation of the Business Combination. As ofSeptember 30, 2021 , we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately$718.6 million . OnSeptember 14, 2021 , we issued$750 million aggregate principal amount of our 1.25% Notes due 2026. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalent balances (including the cash consideration received from the consummation of the Business Combination and the cash received from the issuance of the Notes) and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements may vary materially from those currently planned and will depend on many factors, including 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, expansion and overall economic conditions. We expect capital expenditures of up to$15.0 million for the year endedDecember 31, 2021 . We anticipate using cash from the Business Combination, cash from the issuance of the Notes and cash generated through the normal course of operations to fund these items. To the extent that current and anticipated future sources of liquidity are insufficient to fund our future business activities and requirements, we may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. The sale of additional equity would result in additional dilution to our stockholders. 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. There can be no assurances that we will be able to raise additional capital. The inability to raise capital would adversely affect our ability to achieve our business objectives. Subsequent toSeptember 30, 2021 , onOctober 4, 2021 , we delivered a Notice of Redemption for all of our outstanding public warrants to purchase shares of BeautyHealth's Class A common stock. OnNovember 8, 2021 , BeautyHealth announced 16,123,235 public warrants were exercised for total cash proceeds of$185.4 million . 39
