I would now like to turn the call over to Mr. Rajiv De Silva, Chief Executive Officer of Venus Concept. Please go ahead, sir. Thank you, operator, and welcome everyone to Venus Concept's first quarter 2024 earnings conference call. I'm joined on the call today by our Chief Financial Officer, Domenic Della Penna, and by our President and Chief Operating Officer, Dr. Hemanth Varghese. Let me start with an agenda of what we will cover during our prepared remarks. I will begin with a brief review of our Q1 2024 results and notable operating developments in the recent months. Then Hemanth will share an update on our progress in several key operating areas. Domenic will then provide you with an in-depth review of our first quarter financial results and our balance sheet and financial condition at quarter end, as well as a review of our Q2 2024 revenue outlook outlined in today's press release. Then we will open the call for your questions. With that agenda in mind, let's get started. As detailed in our press release issued today, we are pleased to deliver revenue for Q1 2024 that exceeded the expectations we outlined in our fourth quarter earnings report. While our revenue results reflect a decline of 15% on a year-over-year basis, we are encouraged by the underlying trends we are seeing in the business to start 2024. While the business continues to be impacted by macroeconomic headwinds, which are pressuring the aesthetic sector as a whole, we were pleased to deliver growth in cash system sales on a quarter-over-quarter basis in both the U.S. and international markets in the first quarter. Notably, we are seeing early indications that our strategic initiatives to exit unprofitable direct markets outside the U.S. are bearing fruit. International revenue increased more than 30% sequentially in the first quarter, driven by strong initial demand from new distribution partners added in late 2023 and stronger than expected ARTAS system sales in the period. As discussed in recent calls, the challenging macroeconomic environment and tighter credit markets have impacted systems adoption throughout our business in recent quarters. The hair restoration business in particular, has experienced notable increases in time to close systems deals, given the higher ASP associated with these robotic capital equipment purchases. We remain cautiously optimistic that the operating environment will show improvement as we move through 2024. That said, we are encouraged by the continued evidence that our efforts to reposition the business and to focus on key strategic and operational initiatives are well-founded. We are pleased to report that cash system sales represented 75% of total systems, subscription, and lease program sales in the first quarter, compared to 66% in the prior year period. Notably, global cash system sales increased more than 20% on a quarter-over-quarter basis in Q1, with particular strength in markets outside the U.S., which posted cash systems growth compared to the prior quarter and prior year periods. By way of reminder, one of our key strategic priorities in 2023 was to optimize our commercial and operational strategy in certain international markets and to reinvest those resources in higher opportunity markets to enhance the company's longer-term growth and profitability profile. We continue to execute towards our goal of having our new distribution partners identified, signed up, and ordering in the majority of our key international markets in early 2024. We were pleased to see solid initial demand from these new distributors and continue to believe we are well positioned for profitable growth in these key markets in 2024. Importantly, our first quarter financial results support our belief that the key elements of our transformational strategy, cost reductions, prioritizing cash system sales, and restructuring initiatives in the U.S. and international markets, are enhancing the cash flow profile of the business. We delivered a double-digit decrease in operating expenses in Q1 and generated 3.5 times more cash from working capital compared to the first quarter of 2023, which together helped drive a 51% reduction in cash used in operations year-over-year. We continue to believe that our expense and cash flow performance represents the clearest evidence that we are on the right track towards our goal of enhancing the cash flow profile of the business and accelerating the path to long-term sustainable profitability and growth. Before I turn the call over to Hemanth, I want to highlight multiple important developments subsequent to quarter end. Specifically, the company announced multiple transactions reflecting material progress towards the company's strategic initiative to restructure our debt obligations and secure bridge financing. On April 23, 2024, one of the company's largest lenders and investors, Madryn Asset Management, purchased its Main Street Lending Program loan, or MSLP loan, from the City National Bank of Florida for an undisclosed amount. As of December 31, 2023, the MSLP loan had an outstanding balance of $51.3 million. Following the close of the MSLP loan program, the company and Madryn entered into a loan and security agreement for an aggregate principal amount of up to $5 million in debt financing to support near-term liquidity requirements. We appreciate the support and partnership with the City National Bank since we entered into the loan agreement in December 2020. We are also very pleased that Madryn has demonstrated further commitment to the company's longer-term prospects with these transactions. We look forward to their continued support as we work towards our goal of returning to growth and sustained profitability in the future. I would now like to turn the call over to Dr. Hemanth Varghese, who will share an update on recent progress in our restructuring programs and our commercial product development and regulatory initiatives. Hemanth? Thanks, Rajiv. As discussed on our last earnings call, we've made considerable progress against several key initiatives of our corporate turnaround strategy. Let me share a little color in areas where we're making notable progress. First, our cost reduction and cash management initiatives continue to progress well. Our focus on protecting our near-term cash runway has been productive, and the targeted incremental cost containment initiatives implemented in the second half of 2023 have further enhanced our ability to execute on our high priority strategic initiatives while still preserving liquidity. Second, as Rajiv mentioned earlier, our efforts to rationalize our international infrastructure, reduce costs, and simplify the organization continues to progress. We continue to engage with both existing and several new distribution partners to align with our new international strategy, and we are pleased to see the initial demand from two new exclusive partnerships we announced in December in the United Kingdom and in India. We are tracking towards our goal of finalizing terms with additional new distribution agreements, which we intend to announce publicly upon completion and remain on track to be substantially completed with our international repositioning in the coming months and ready to return to growth outside the U.S. in 2024. Third, our efforts to advance certain new product pipeline projects, secure regulatory clearances, and execute initial commercial launches are tracking favorably in early 2024. The U.S. commercial launch of our new multi-application platform, the Venus Versa Pro, is going well, and feedback from customers is very positive. We launched in the EU in the first quarter, and we were pleased to receive TGA clearance in Australia on April 3. We were also pleased to announce regulatory approval for the Venus Bliss MAX on April 8 from the State of Israel, Ministry of Health. Fourth, we are pleased with the positive early response from our company-wide rebranding initiative, Venus AI, and encouraging feedback from physician participants in our NEXXthetics program recently hosted in March. By way of reminder, NEXXthetics is a new series of customer education and training events launched under our Venus AI rebrand. The NEXXthetics program represents a great example of how we are enhancing our focus on physician education and practice enhancement by empowering professionals in the aesthetics field with the knowledge, tools, and support they need to grow their businesses. Finally, we've had some great success in this past quarter in expanding our commercial strategy to target corporate accounts. We secured a recent win with a fast-growing multi-center account, which contributed solid system demand for Venus Viva, and more importantly, will deliver attractive recurring revenue from ongoing procedure-related demand for Viva tips. More details to follow. With that, let me turn the call over to Domenic for a review of our first quarter financial results and balance sheet at quarter end. Domenic? Thanks, Hemanth. For the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise noted, my prepared remarks will focus on the company's reported results for the first quarter of 2024 on a GAAP basis, and all growth-related items are on a year-over-year basis. We reported total revenue of $17.5 million, down $3.1 million, or 15% year over year. The decrease in total revenue by region was driven by a 15% decrease year over year in U.S. revenue and a 14% decrease year over year in international revenue. The decrease in revenue is primarily attributed to general macroeconomic headwinds that impacted customer access to capital, and the effects of tighter third-party lending practices, which negatively impacted capital equipment sales. International revenue results were also impacted by the company's strategic initiatives related to exiting unprofitable direct markets in 2023. The decrease in total revenue by product category was driven by a 39% decrease in lease revenue, a 5% decrease in products systems revenue, a 13% decrease in products other revenue, partially offset by a 13% increase in services revenue. The percentage of total systems revenue derived from the company's subscription model and lease program sales was approximately 25% in the first quarter of 2024, compared to 34% in the prior year period, and 41% in the fourth quarter of 2023, as evidence of the continued progress in focusing on cash sales. Turning to a review of our first quarter financial results across the rest of the P&L. Gross profit decreased $2.1 million, or 15%, to $11.6 million. The change in gross profit was primarily due to a decrease in revenue in our international markets, driven by the accelerated exit from unprofitable direct markets. Gross margin was 66.6% of revenue, compared to 66.7% of revenue for the first quarter of 2023. Total operating expenses decreased $2.4 million, or 11%, to $19.4 million. The change in total operating expenses was driven primarily by a decrease of $0.9 million, or 8%, in general and administrative expenses, a decrease of $0.9 million, or 32%, in research and development expenses, a decrease of $0.7 million, or 8%, in selling and marketing expenses. First quarter of 2024, GAAP general and administrative expenses include approximately $0.9 million of costs related to restructuring activities designed to improve the company's operations and cost structure, and approximately $0.4 million of expenses related to the Canada Revenue Agency for denial of Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy claims filed by the company for certain periods between 2020 and 2021. The total operating loss was $7.8 million, compared to operating loss of $8.2 million for the first quarter of 2023. Net interest and other expenses were $2 million, compared to $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2023. The year-over-year change in net interest and other expenses was driven primarily by an increase in non-cash foreign exchange loss of $0.3 million, compared to a non-cash gain of $0.3 million in the prior year period. Net loss attributable to stockholders for the first quarter of 2024 was $9.8 million, or $0.68 per share, compared to a net loss of $9.7 million or $0.84 per share for the first quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA loss for the first quarter of 2024 improved 11% year-over-year to $5.1 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA loss of $5.7 million for the first quarter of 2023. As a reminder, we have provided a full reconciliation of our GAAP net loss to adjusted EBITDA loss in our earnings press release. Turning to the balance sheet. As of March 31, 2024, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $5.1 million, and total debt obligations of approximately $76.7 million, compared to $5.4 million and $74.9 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2023. Cash used in operations for the three months ended March 31, was $2.9 million, a 51% decrease in cash use year-over-year. The year-over-year decrease in cash used in operations was driven primarily by strong working capital performance, with more than $4.7 million of cash generated from working capital in the period. The improvement in working capital conversion is primarily related to our strategy to shift the mix of sales to cash versus subscription and lease program sales. Cash used in operating and investing activities during the first quarter of 2024 was partially offset by $2.6 million of cash from financing activities in the period, driven primarily by the net proceeds of $1.6 million from a note purchase agreement with EW Investors on January 18, 2024, and the net proceeds of $977,000 from the sale of 878,748 shares of the company's common stock at a price of $1.46 per share through a registered direct offering on February 22, 2024. Turning to a review of our financial outlook for 2024. As outlined in our press release, given the company's active dialogue with existing lenders and investors, and the ongoing evaluation of strategic alternatives with various interested parties to maximize shareholder value, the company is not providing full year 2024 financial guidance at this time. For modeling purposes, the company expects total revenue for the three months ending June 30, 2024, of at least $16.5 million.... With that, I'll turn the call over to the operator to open the call for your questions. Operator? Thank you. If you would like to ask a question, please signal by pressing star one on your telephone keypad. If you are using a speakerphone, please make sure your mute function is turned off to allow your signal to reach our equipment. We do ask that you limit yourself to one question and one follow-up. If you would like to ask additional questions, we invite you to add yourself to the queue again by pressing star one. One moment, please, while we pull for questions. Our first question comes from Marie Thibault with BTIG. Please proceed with your question. Hi, good morning. Thanks for taking the questions. Maybe I'll start here. Would love to hear just a review of what you felt went better than expected in Q1, and a little bit more on assumptions for your guidance for Q2. You gave us that at least $16.5 million floor. Would like to hear what's baked into that. Terrific. I think in terms of your first part of the question, Marie, I think the strength in our international markets was better than expected. And as you know, we've been doing this transition from direct presence in many of these markets, distributors. In many cases, this is, you know, this is the first orders. We were also positively surprised by the strength of the ARTAS system sales outside the U.S. So I think that I would say probably, you know, exceeded expectations. And in the U.S., performed as expected. You know, it's the macroeconomic headwinds probably impact the U.S., you know, more so than it certainly has in the past. And given those headwinds, you know, we were pleased with the outcome in the U.S. as well. With respect to Q2, we see a continued the same type of trends to continue into Q2. You know, the macroeconomic headwinds have not dramatically improved, you know, though, in certain spots they may be showing some signals of doing so. So the pressures in the U.S. we expect to continue. And in the international markets, we continue to kind of expect a little bit of lumpy behavior until we get our new distributors on a more consistent ordering pattern. Hemanth or Domenic, anything to add to that? No, I don't think so. Okay. All right, Marie. Sorry. Okay, that's really helpful. Yep, that's very helpful. And then appreciate the efforts that your team has been making on managing working capital, and cutting cash burn in the quarter. What else is left to do on managing working capital? Is there more that you can be doing to collect receivables, work out inventory, any target areas that you see room for added improvement? And thanks for taking the questions. Domenic, you want to take that one? Sure. I think the one area that we continue to focus on, on a very selective basis is working with key customers that, for example, like chain accounts, that if we can accelerate the collection of amounts owed to us at a reasonable discount, we've been, you know, modestly successful in converting some of that. We currently have an opportunity now to convert a few hundred thousand dollars, and we do that selectively with certain customers that owe us for bulk device sales, and that augments our existing focus on cash sales. In addition, you'll notice that our inventory balance is lower, and we've put in place a more robust sales and operations planning program that will continue to focus on inventory management in particular, because we do think there's some opportunity to better focus on inventory turns and free up some working capital that way. As a reminder, if you would like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad. Our next question comes from Jeffrey Cohen with Ladenburg Thalmann. Please proceed with your question. Hi, Rajiv, Domenic, and Hemanth. How are you? Hey, Jeff. Good, thanks. Firstly, could you walk through and give us some better metrics or trends on the hair business, specifically from the first quarter and how 2024 looks there? Very good. Domenic, you want to take that one? Our hair trends are impacted by the tight capital equipment market. But having said that, in the international side, we did show an improvement over Q4 in terms of ARTAS device sales. But in the US, we were slightly ahead of Q4, but still a challenging environment when you're trying to sell a device that is $250,000 in terms of outlay. And the financing environment is such that although capital may be available, it's not as available as it used to be. So we're cautiously optimistic about the second half of the year. But in terms of Q1, the underlying strength really came in international through some distributor sales. Okay, got it. And then secondly, for us, I just wanted to walk through the MSLP loan agreement. So does Madryn currently have the entirety of the $76.7 now? That's correct. Madryn owns the entire debt stack at this point. Yes, and the face amount is what you quoted. Okay, I got it. And, just one clarification that you spoke about Q over Q, international business plus 30%. Could you talk a little bit about U.S. versus international and call out, in particular, a few of the territories that are driving international, please? Thank you. Domenic, do you want to? Yeah, I think on the international front, what we had is a good result, a very good result in Australia in particular. And in addition, we did have a bounce back in terms of our sales in Israel that suffered through a very, very difficult fourth quarter. And there was some traction that we got in the first quarter of 2024 in Israel, notwithstanding a still challenging environment there, obviously. But those were the key direct markets. In addition, we continue to make progress on signing up new distributors. So it was a combination of improved performance in select direct markets like Australia and Israel, as well as improved distributor performance in rest of world. Okay, perfect. Jeff, I just wanted to- Sorry, I just want to amend my answer from before. Just to clarify, our debt stack also includes about $2 million in a convertible note with EW. So that is in addition to what Madryn owns at this point. Obviously, Madryn still owns the vast majority. Got it. The note purchase, the $1.6 you're referencing? That's correct, yeah. That's the net amount in the faces too. Okay, perfect. That does it for us. Thanks for taking our questions. We are currently showing no additional participants in the queue. That does conclude our conference for today. Thank you for your participation.
