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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

As a percentage of net sales                      44.8    %           44.7  %


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.

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. The increase in general and administrative expense 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 $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.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2022.

  Table of Contents
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.

40.9 %





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.

As a percentage of net sales                           2.6    %            3.5  %



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

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Table of Contents

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
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of Contents
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.

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.
