Our reading of the filing · Free to read, no account needed
Venus Concept reported Q3 FY2025 revenue of $13,776,000, down versus $15,007,000 in Q3 2024 and down versus the prior quarter. Gross margin held at ~64.0% while operating margin deteriorated to -68.9%, driven by higher operating expenses and a large loss on debt extinguishment. The company recorded a net loss of $22,549,000 for the quarter (basic EPS -$12.14) and continues to report substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

And the other side of it.
The offsets in the same document — the things a summary that only listed the good news would have left out.

What they said about what is next.
No numeric forward guidance provided in the 10-Q. MD&A states management 'expects to continue to incur substantial operating losses and net cash outflows from operating activities' and plans to 'fund operations and capital expenditures with cash on hand, borrowings, and issuance of capital stock.' Outlook appears deferred to financing / strategic processes (e.g., the proposed $20,000,000 sale of the Venus Hair Business) and potential future public disclosures.
