  Gross margin increased to 65.3% from 54.5% in 2024, driven by lower inventory-related charges and a favorable product mix. Net cash provided by operating activities improved to $37.5 million from $16.1 million.

The Beauty Health Company's full-year 2025 results show significant operational improvements despite a 10.0% decline in net sales, primarily due to a substantial drop in Delivery Systems sales. The company successfully narrowed its net loss to $9.5 million from $29.1 million in 2024 and increased its gross margin to 65.3% from 54.5%, driven by reduced inventory charges and a favorable product mix. Operating cash flow also improved significantly. Furthermore, the company proactively managed its debt by exchanging a substantial portion of its 2026 Convertible Senior Notes for new 7.95% Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2028, extending maturity and securing the debt. While an SEC investigation and multiple class-action lawsuits related to Syndeo devices remain ongoing, a customer class action has reached a settlement-in-principle, and an International Trade Commission (ITC) ruling found one of the company's patents valid and infringed by a competitor, indicating progress in intellectual property defense. The successful remediation of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting is also a positive compliance development.
