Overview
The earnings call highlights a positive outlook with increased revenue guidance and improved financial metrics, such as higher gross margins and reduced net loss.

Key Financial Performance
Total Revenue $12.9 million, up 12% year-over-year from $11.5 million. The growth was driven by a $1.8 million increase in sales of Surgical Aesthetics products, particularly due to the commercial launch of the AYON Body Contouring System and increased volume of single-use handpieces in both domestic and international markets. This was slightly offset by a decline in OEM revenue.
Surgical Aesthetics Revenue $11.1 million, up 19% year-over-year from $9.3 million. Growth was driven by the AYON launch and increased sales of single-use handpieces. This was partially offset by decreases in domestic sales of generators and upgrades to the Apyx One console.
OEM Revenue $1.8 million, down 18% year-over-year from $2.2 million. The decline was due to reduced sales volumes to existing customers, including Symmetry Surgical, as the company shifted focus to the Surgical Aesthetics segment.
Domestic Revenue $9.3 million, up 20% year-over-year. Growth was attributed to strong domestic sales of Surgical Aesthetics products, including the AYON system.
International Revenue $3.5 million, down 4% year-over-year. The decline was not explicitly explained but may relate to seasonality or reduced international sales of certain products.
Gross Profit $8.3 million, up from $7 million in the prior year. Gross profit margin increased to 64.4% from 60.5%, driven by higher revenue and improved cost efficiencies.
Operating Expenses $9.1 million, down from $10.6 million in the prior year. The decrease was due to reductions in selling, general and administrative expenses, research and development expenses, salaries, and professional services expenses, reflecting cost-cutting measures implemented in late 2024.
Net Loss $2 million, or $0.05 per share, compared to $4.7 million, or $0.14 per share, in the prior year. The improvement was due to increased revenue and reduced operating expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA Loss $0.1 million, down 96% from $2.4 million in the prior year. The improvement reflects higher revenue and cost reductions.
Cash Used in Operating Activities (Q3 2025) $3.5 million, down from $4.4 million in the prior year. The improvement was due to better working capital management and the impact of the AYON launch.
Cash Used in Operating Activities (9 months ended September 30, 2025) $5.5 million, down from $15.1 million in the prior year. The improvement reflects cost controls and better cash management.
Cash and Cash Equivalents $25.1 million as of September 30, 2025, down from $31.7 million as of December 31, 2024. The decrease reflects cash used in operations and investments in the AYON launch.

Risk or Challenges
OEM Revenue Decline: The company experienced a decline in OEM revenue, which decreased from $2.2 million in the same period last year to $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2025. This decline was attributed to reduced sales volumes to existing customers, including Symmetry Surgical under a 10-year generator manufacturing and supply agreement. The shift in focus and resources from OEM to the Surgical Aesthetics segment could pose risks if the new segment does not perform as expected.
Tariff Uncertainty: The company acknowledged uncertainty regarding the impact of tariffs on imports from various countries. This could affect the cost structure and profitability, depending on future trade policies and tariff changes.
Cash Burn and Financial Health: Although the company has reduced its cash burn and improved financial health, it still reported a net loss of $2 million for the third quarter of 2025. The company’s ability to sustain operations and invest in growth initiatives depends on maintaining strict cost controls and achieving revenue targets.
Regulatory Approval Risks: The company is awaiting FDA clearance for a label expansion of the AYON system to include power liposuction, expected in Q1 2026. Delays or failure to secure this approval could impact the product’s market positioning and revenue potential.
Market Competition: The AYON system is positioned as a groundbreaking product in the body contouring market. However, the company faces competitive pressures from existing systems and new entrants, which could impact its ability to capture market share.
Economic and Market Conditions: The company’s performance is influenced by broader economic and market conditions, including the adoption of GLP-1 drugs and demand for aesthetic procedures. Any downturn in these areas could adversely affect revenue growth.

Guidance & Outlook
Revenue Guidance for 2025: Total revenue is expected to range between $50.5 million and $52.5 million, up from the previous range of $50 million to $52 million. This increase reflects the strong commercial launch of the AYON platform.
Surgical Aesthetics Segment Revenue: Revenue is projected to range between $43 million and $45 million, up from the previous guidance of $42 million to $44 million. This increase is attributed to the successful launch and uptake of the AYON system.
OEM Revenue: Revenue is expected to be approximately $7.5 million, down from the previous guidance of $8 million, as the company focuses resources on the Surgical Aesthetics segment.
Gross Margins for 2025: Anticipated to be approximately 61% for the year.

AYON System FDA Clearance: The company has submitted a 510(k) application for label expansion of the AYON system to include power liposuction. Clearance is anticipated in Q1 2026, which will solidify AYON's position as the first fully integrated body contouring system.
Market Opportunity with GLP-1 Medications: The expanding patient population using GLP-1 drugs presents a significant opportunity. With over 15 million users in the U.S., the company believes its Renuvion and AYON systems are well-positioned to address the resulting demand for aesthetic treatments.

Key Q&A
Q:Why were generator sales down?
A:The company is changing the way they classify sales. AYON sales include Apyx One generators, and depending on the customer’s existing equipment, they may only need to purchase parts of AYON. This reclassification impacts how sales are reported.
Q:What is the expected gross margin impact from the AYON rollout?
A:Management did not provide specific guidance on revenue or gross margin impact. They noted that the Surgical Aesthetics business, especially in the U.S., has the highest gross margins, but avoided giving detailed projections.
Q:Will there be an increase in consumables sales due to AYON's new capabilities?
A:The increase in consumables sales is expected to come from new customers who do not currently use Renuvion technology. Existing customers are already using Renuvion, so no significant uptick is expected from them. The company had a strong third quarter in consumables sales and is focused on driving utilization.
Q:What are the latest market demand trends and the impact of GLP-1 drugs?
A:The market has been disrupted by GLP-1 drugs, which create demand for technologies addressing skin laxity and body contouring. AYON and Renuvion are well-suited for this market. A McKinsey study found that 63% of GLP-1 drug users are new to aesthetics, indicating a growing market for plastic surgeons.
Q:What drove the growth in single-use handpieces during the quarter?
A:Growth was driven by new doctors adopting the technology, higher attach rates for Renuvion after body contouring procedures, and increased standalone use of Renuvion. The trend is expected to continue as more patients seek solutions for loose skin, especially following GLP-1 treatments.
Q:Is the pipeline for AYON accelerating, and how is the company managing demand?
A:The company increased its guidance for Surgical Aesthetics by $1 million for the fourth quarter, reflecting strong demand for AYON. They have partnered with a third party to assist with installations, reducing the burden on internal teams. The rollout has been smooth, with effective training and implementation.
Q:What is the timeline for international rollout of AYON?
A:The company is focused on the U.S. market for now but plans to register AYON globally. Key target markets include Europe, the Middle East, Brazil, and Latin America. Europe requires a CE mark, and some Middle Eastern countries accept FDA approval. The international rollout will be discussed further in 2026.
Q:Review of Unclear Management Responses
A:Management avoided providing specific guidance on the gross margin impact of AYON's rollout and did not comment in detail on the pipeline acceleration or international rollout timelines. They used vague language and deferred specifics to future discussions.
