The Beauty Health Company (NASDAQ: SKIN) Securities Fraud Class Action:
Piper Sandler reiterated its “underweight rating” for Beauty Health after conducting a phone survey of 50 HydraFacialists. The survey reportedly revealed “a significant % of Syndeo owners experienced issues and received replacements, and these issues expanded beyond the clogging management has called out.”
In her report to clients, analyst Korinne Wolfmeyer also found “>1/3 of Syndeo owners have not yet received a replacement/fix, and ~10% of Elite owners don’t want to upgrade due to these issues.” Wolfmeyer concluded, “given the Syndeo challenges and likelihood for more cash burn, we see further downside.”
The analyst scrutiny comes after the filing of a securities class action litigation brought against Beauty Health and its executives, stemming from the company’s disappointing third quarter results and disclosed “mistakes” with its Syndeo systems.
The lawsuit alleges that Beauty Health failed to disclose that: (1) Syndeo 1.0 and 2.0 devices had issues leading to “frequent treatment interruptions;” (2) as a result, the company incurred significant costs to develop enhancements; (3) despite the enhancements, providers continued to experience issues with Syndeo devices; and (4) as a result, the company would discontinue marketing Syndeo 1.0 and 2.0 devices and incur significant inventory write-downs.
The truth emerged on Nov. 13, 2023, when Beauty Health disclosed dismal 3Q 2023 with “lower-than-expected U.S. revenue and $63.1 million in restructuring charges related to device upgrades of early generation Syndeo devices.” As a result, Beauty Health slashed its FY 2023 guidance and suspending its long-term 2025 financial outlook. Beauty Health further disclosed CEO Stanleick would depart Beauty Health as President and CEO and relinquish his Board seat.
On this news, the price of Beauty Health shares fell by more than 64%.
“The litigation focuses on whether Beauty Health executives concealed ‘frequent treatment interruptions’ with its Syndeo devices,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm’s investigation.
