NEW YORK, Aug. 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Waldencast plc (NASDAQ:WALD) ("Waldencast" or the "Company"), a global multi-brand beauty and wellness platform, today reported operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2024 ("Q2 2024") and six months ended June 30, 2024 ("H1 2024") on Form 6-K to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which are also available on the Company's investor relations site at http://ir.waldencast.com/.

Michel Brousset, Waldencast Founder and CEO, said: "We are pleased to report a net revenue Comparable Growth increase of 25.7% in Q2 2024, further accelerating the growth of 21% delivered in Q1 2024. Following this first strong half, and with various growth drivers planned for the second half, we are even more confident in our ability to deliver our FY 2024 outlook with net revenue Comparable Growth above the rate achieved in Q2 2024. Consequently, we expect Adjusted EBITDA for H2 2024 to exceed that of H1 2024, both in absolute value and margin, and we continue to expect to achieve a mid-teens Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the full year. Milk Makeup and Obagi Medical brands continue to grow well ahead of the markets in which they operate and are still far from achieving their full potential. As a young Company, we had to work extremely hard to address the challenges faced in 2022 and in the transition year of 2023. We are now focused on stepping up the investment in our brands and the development of our communities. This combination of strong community engagement and compelling high-performance products will continue to drive increasing demand for our brands around the world. We delivered multiple blockbuster innovations in H1 2024 and feel excited about what is coming in H2 2024 and beyond. I'm always thankful to the continuous support of our consumers, investors, partners, employees and everyone who shares our dream of building a global best-in-class beauty and wellness operating platform."

Brand Update

We are more excited than ever about our business and our brands' growth prospects. We believe that we have two powerful, high-growth, compelling brands perfectly positioned in the most attractive segments of the beauty business. In H1 2024, both brands successfully grew their communities, with Milk Makeup growing Earned Media Value (EMV)¹ by +100% year over year and climbing 7 ranks from 2023, whilst Obagi Medical grew EMV +165% year over year, demonstrating one of the fastest growth rates in EMV for beauty brands in the US.

Both brands also delivered blockbuster innovation in the first half with Milk Makeup's 8 times award winning, twice-sold out Viral Cooling Jelly Tint and Obagi Medical's Daily Hydro-Drops^® Rejuvenating Eye Gel Cream, which sold out in less than 72 hours.

This combination of strong community engagement and compelling high-performance products is driving increased global demand for our brands. Coupled with the power of our Waldencast platform and talented teams, we believe we are well positioned to drive long term profitable growth as we build long-lasting iconic beauty brands and increase operational efficiencies. As we look forward to H2 2024, both brands are poised to continue to scale their communities in the U.S. and internationally as well as to launch further exciting innovations.

Milk Makeup launches build into high replenishment categories with Kush Eye Roller Mascara and Brow Tints, shade extensions of Odyssey Lip Oil Gloss, and the much anticipated launch of Hydro Grip + Glow Primer. This unique product is aimed at recruiting new consumers and builds on the buzz around the cult Hydro Grip franchise by showcasing a new incremental benefit while re-affirming its unparalleled hold and unique formula.

Obagi Medical will be launching two of our most exciting innovations so far, bringing medical grade lifting power to new heights with two strong line extensions of our bestselling ELASTIderm^® franchise, starting with ELASTIderm^® Lift Up & Sculpt Facial Moisturizer, clinically proven to visibly lift and sculpt facial contours in only 6 weeks². This launch will be complemented with ELASTIderm^® Advanced Filler Concentrate, a targeted treatment clinically proven to visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines with a single application². The Advanced Filler Concentrate is a non-injectable instant fine line filler, with impressive clinical results after a single application and further improvement after 8 weeks showing a 19% reduction in the appearance of fine lines and forehead lines². These innovations are intended not only to strengthen our anti-ageing portfolio in two of the top three skin concerns treated by physicians (fine lines & wrinkles and sagging skin & loss of elasticity), but also to strengthen our dermatological skincare and physician dispensed brand DNA and penetration.

Q2 2024 Results Overview & FY 2024 Outlook

Please refer to the definitions and reconciliations set out further in this release with respect to certain adjusted non-GAAP measures discussed below which are included to provide an easier understanding of the underlying performance of the business but should not be seen as a substitute for the U.S. GAAP numbers presented in this release.

Net Revenue and Comparable Growth: Net Revenue for Q2 2024 was $63.3 million, compared to Net Revenue of $49.4 million in Q2 2023, a growth of 28.2% on a Net Revenue basis and a 25.7% increase in Comparable Growth, after adjusting for product sales to the former Obagi Medical China Business. Obagi Medical saw accelerated growth in Q2 2024 driven by growth in higher margin e-commerce sales. Milk Makeup saw continued strong growth in international markets during Q2 2024, whilst the U.S. market was impacted by out of stocks, particularly in the successful Cooling Water Jelly Tints, which was materially improved towards the end of the quarter. The growth of both brands was significantly impacted by out of stocks in some of our key products as demand outstripped our forecasts.

Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit: Gross Profit for Q2 2024 was $44.6 million, compared to Gross Profit of $31.2 million in Q2 2023. After adjusting for the amortization of intangibles and a non-recurring write-off of products related to discontinued business, the Adjusted Gross Profit for Q2 2024 was $47.5 million, or 75.0% of Net Revenue, resulting in a margin improvement of 650 basis points compared to Q2 2023 Adjusted Gross Profit of $33.8 million, or 68.5% of Net Revenue. The Adjusted Gross Profit Margin improved due to growth in higher-margin e-commerce sales, reduced off-price sales, and lower inventory write-offs.

Net Loss for Q2 2024 was $9.0 million, compared to a Net Loss of $23.5 million in Q2 2023. Net loss improved primarily due to income related to the fair value adjustment for warrants.

Adjusted EBITDA for Q2 2024 was $6.3 million, or a 10.0% Adjusted EBITDA Margin, compared with a Q2 2023 Adjusted EBITDA of $3.9 million, or a 7.8% Adjusted EBITDA Margin. The Group continued in Q2 2024 to grow more profitable distribution channels and create operational efficiencies, whilst increasing employee related compensation and marketing investments in the period.

Liquidity: The business had a strong cash conversion during H1 2024, although the Company continues to incur non-recurring costs associated with legal and advisory fees. As of June 30, 2024, the Group had $19.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and $155.0 million of Net Debt. In addition, $30 million remains undrawn on the Company's revolving credit facility of $45 million as of June 30, 2024.

Outstanding Shares: As of August 15, 2024, the Company had 122,662,281 ordinary shares outstanding, consisting of 110,608,950 Class A ordinary shares outstanding and 12,053,331 Class B ordinary shares outstanding. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had 122,076,410 ordinary shares outstanding, consisting of 101,228,857 Class A ordinary shares outstanding and 20,847,553 Class B ordinary shares outstanding. Fully Diluted Shares decreased from 129,695,296 at December 31, 2023 to 126,820,174 as of August 15, 2024, primarily driven by forfeitures of unvested shares and lower in-the-money dilutive instruments. As of August 15, 2024, 52,683,779, or 43%, Class A ordinary shares remain subject to contractual lock-up arrangements entered into in connection with the September 2023 private placement, of which (i) 31,205,649 are locked until September 14, 2024 and (ii) 21,478,130 are locked until November 8, 2024.

Fiscal 2024 Outlook: We expect to further accelerate H2 2024 net revenue Comparable Growth above the rate achieved in Q2 2024. We expect Adjusted EBITDA for H2 2024 to exceed that of H1 2024, both in absolute value and margin, and we continue to expect to achieve a mid-teens Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the full year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the financial measures presented in this release in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Waldencast separately reports financial results on the basis of the measures set out and defined below which are non-GAAP financial measures. Waldencast believes the non-GAAP measures used in this release provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations. Waldencast believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends. These non-GAAP measures also provide perspective on how Waldencast's management evaluates and monitors the performance of the business.

There are limitations to non-GAAP financial measures because they exclude charges and credits that are required to be included in GAAP financial presentation. The items excluded from GAAP financial measures such as net income/loss to arrive at non-GAAP financial measures are significant components for understanding and assessing our financial performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered together with, and not alternatives to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Please refer to definitions set out in the release and the tables included in this release for a reconciliation of these metrics to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Comparable Net Revenue is defined as Net Revenue excluding sales related to the former Obagi Medical China business, which was not acquired by Waldencast at the time of the Business Combination (the "Obagi Medical China Business") as was presented in previous earnings releases. The sales to the Obagi Medical China business have a below market sales price for a defined period of time after the acquisition of Obagi Medical. As a result of the acquisition, a below market contract liability was recognized and is amortized based on sales. This adjustment is shown in the Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation. Management believes that this non-GAAP measures provides perspective on how Waldencast's management evaluates and monitors the performance of the business. See reconciliation to U.S. GAAP Net Revenue in the Appendix.

Comparable Growth is defined as the growth in Comparable Net Revenue period over period expressed as a percentage.

Adjusted Gross Profit is defined as GAAP gross profit excluding the impact of inventory fair value adjustments, amortization of the supply agreement and formulation intangible assets, and the amortization of the fair value of the related party liability the Obagi Medical China Business. The Adjusted Gross Profit reconciliation by Segment for each period is included in the Appendix.

Adjusted Gross Margin is defined as Adjusted Gross Profit divided by GAAP Net Revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as GAAP net income (loss) before interest income or expense, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization, and further adjusted for the items as described in the reconciliation below. We believe this information will be useful for investors to facilitate comparisons of our operating performance and better identify trends in our business. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain expenses that are required to be presented in accordance with GAAP because management believes they are non-core to our regular business. These include non-cash expenses, such as depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, inventory fair value adjustments, the amortization of fair value of the related party liability to the Obagi Medical China Business, change in fair value of financial instruments, loss on impairment of leases, and foreign currency transaction loss (gain). In addition, adjustments include expenses that are not related to our underlying business performance including (1) legal, advisory and consultant fees related to the financial restatement of previously issued financial statements and associated regulatory investigation; (2) costs to recover and the value of the inventory recovered from the acquisition of the Vietnam distributor, and the associated discontinued product; and (3) other non-recurring costs, primarily legal settlement costs. The Adjusted EBITDA by Segment for each period is included in the Appendix.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net revenue. The Adjusted EBITDA Margin reconciliation by Segment for each period is included in the Appendix.
