Platinum Dermatology Deal Impact
Q: How will the Platinum Dermatology deal affect revenues?
A: The Fair Deal agreement with Platinum Dermatology covers all 130 sites, allowing them to install as many units as they wish under one contract. Installations will be systematic and planned, likely extending into next year, with significant revenue contributions expected in the second half of 2025 as patient volumes increase. This deal represents a substantial opportunity for recurring revenue growth over time. -
Capacity to Meet Demand
Q: Can you handle increased demand from large deals?
A: Yes, we have the capacity to manufacture and install units to meet increased demand. With 12 to 15 private equity-backed dermatology companies, each having 100 to 400 centers, we're prepared to handle the volume from additional Fair Deal agreements. We currently have enough inventory to cover all of 2025 and are preparing orders for 2026. -
Negotiations with Other Large Practices
Q: Are you in talks with other large dermatology groups?
A: Yes, several of the 12 to 15 private equity-sponsored dermatology companies are reviewing our contracts. We believe our Fair Deal agreement is attractive, and we expect more groups to sign up. -
Guidance on Future Agreements and Shipments
Q: What's the target number of systems or agreements next year?
A: We aim to secure as many agreements and install as many systems as possible. While we don't provide specific guidance, we always strive to maximize our growth opportunities. -
Impact on Current Quarter Sales
Q: Will the Platinum deal affect this quarter's sales?
A: The Fair Deal agreement doesn't impact sales numbers since it's not a sale but a recurring revenue model. While it won't contribute to sales this quarter, it will compound into significant revenues, especially in the latter half of 2025. -
International Expansion Efforts
Q: How are you pursuing international demand?
A: We're expanding internationally mainly through distributors. Recently, we held a major conference in Vietnam, and our first Vision IGSRT system shipment to Taiwan in Q2 has generated interest in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. Currently, the Fair Deal agreement is not offered internationally. -
Third Quarter Performance Factors
Q: What drove the better-than-expected third quarter?
A: Although Q3 is typically our quietest quarter, we performed better than in previous years. This was not due to the Platinum deal, as it didn't contribute to Q3 results. Instead, we're starting to see revenues from existing installations related to the Fair Deal agreement, with patient volumes increasing month-to-month.
