MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Nov. 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AirSculpt Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:AIRS)(“AirSculpt” or the “Company”), a national provider of premium body contouring procedures, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

• Revenue increased 12.2% from prior year period to $38.9 million
• Paid special dividend of approximately $25 million

• Opened center in Philadelphia
• Completed debt refinance with more favorable terms

“We recently hit our one-year anniversary as a public company, and I couldn’t be more excited about our business and the work we are doing to build a platform that will continue to produce significant growth in the years ahead” said Dr. Aaron Rollins, Chief Executive Officer of AirSculpt Technologies. “Our revenues for the quarter increased 12.2% over the same quarter last year, primarily due to the new centers we have opened. We had a bit more pronounced seasonality during the quarter as several doctors at some of our larger centers took extended vacations and we expect a number of these cases to be deferred to future periods.

We announced this week the opening of our Philadelphia center and our first international center in Toronto is scheduled to open at the end of this month. Both Philadelphia and Toronto are great markets, and we have high expectations for both centers to provide meaningful growth as they mature.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), however, the Company believes the evaluation of ongoing operating results may be enhanced by a presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, which are non-GAAP financial measures.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace financial performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Rather, they are presented as supplemental measures of the Company's performance that management believes may enhance the evaluation of the Company's ongoing operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures are not presented in accordance with GAAP, and the Company’s computation of these non-GAAP financial measures may vary from similar measures used by other companies. These measures have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute or alternative to revenue, net income, operating income, cash flows from operating activities, total indebtedness or any other measures of operating performance, liquidity or indebtedness derived in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Dollars in thousands)

We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP, however, management believes the evaluation of our ongoing operating results may be enhanced by a presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, which are non-GAAP financial measures.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income/(loss) excluding initial public offering (“IPO”) related costs, sponsor management fee, pre-opening de novo and relocation costs, restructuring and related severance, equity-based compensation, loss on debt modification, depreciation and amortization, loss on disposal of long-lived assets, interest expense, net and income tax expense/(benefit).

We include Adjusted EBITDA because it is an important measure on which our management assesses and believes investors should assess our operating performance. We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be an important measure because it helps illustrate underlying trends in our business and our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool including: (i) Adjusted EBITDA does not include results from equity-based compensation and (ii) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense on our debt or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments.

We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. We included Adjusted EBITDA Margin because it is an important measure on which our management assesses and believes investors should assess our operating performance. We consider Adjusted EBITDA Margin to be an important measure because it helps illustrate underlying trends in our business and our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis.

The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to net (loss)/income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure:
