Yoshiyuki Aikawa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SBC

showcasing our solid performance and sustained growth, culminating
in our successful Nasdaq listing. We delivered strong 2024 results
with top line growing by 6% while bottom line surged 18% year over
year. More encouragingly, supported by our extensive network of 251
clinics, we served 6.0 million loyal customers over the last twelve
months, with a repeat rate exceeding 70%. As we continue to see
increasing global demand for aesthetic medical services, we remain
committed to developing a strong franchising structure and network,
and expanding our business both domestically and internationally.
Looking ahead, we remain dedicated to not only maintaining, but
expanding, our competitive edge while capturing the significant
growth opportunities both at home and abroad. With these goals we
aim to create long-term value and drive sustainable growth for our
shareholders.”
Full Year 2024 Financial Results
Total revenues were $205 million, an increase of 6%
year-over-year despite the negative impact of the
discontinuation of the staffing business, driven by the expansion
of franchise clinics.
EBITDA was $89 million, an increased 8% year-over-year
due to one-time factors such as stock-based compensation expenses
(USD 13.0 million). However, excluding these one-time factors
and foreign exchange impacts (USD 6.9 million), EBITDA increased
32% year-over-year.
Non-operating income and expenses totaled USD 3 million,
primarily driven by the gain on the sale of Cellpro Japan,
partially offset by an impairment loss on certain equity holdings.
Consequently, net income attributable to SBC increased 18%
year-over-year, achieving both revenue and profit growth
compared to the previous fiscal year.
Business Highlights
In 2024, Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the
regulator of the medical industry, raised concerns regarding the
expansion of aesthetic medical business, and intensified
competition, which led to the shake out of some hair removal
clinics. Despite such a challenging competitive environment, SBC
Medical maintained its market leadership by driving market
expansion through an appropriate pricing strategy for franchise
clinics. As a result, the number of customers reached 6
million, a 15% year-over-year increase, while the number
of unique customers4 grew 11% year-over-year to 1.9
million.
On the overseas business, SBC Medical acquired
Aesthetic Healthcare Holdings Pte. and its subsidiaries (“AHH”)
in Singapore, securing a strategic footprint to function
as the Company’s business hub in Asia. Additionally, SBC Medical
launched the “SBC Wellness” employee benefit program and
entered into a strategic partnership with B4A, a SaaS
company for aesthetic clinics in Japan, executing key initiatives
to expand its business.
Outlook for FY2025
In FY2025, while the aesthetic dermatology market is expected to
continue expanding, competition is also expected to intensify. To
solidify its dominant market position, SBC Medical will implement
strategic price revision and other initiatives.
Furthermore, to support the long-term expansion of our
franchise clinic network, the Company will revise its franchise
fee structure starting in April 2025. This revision aims to
alleviate the initial financial burden on franchisees while
introducing a tiered fee system aligned with clinic scale and the
consulting services provided by SBC Medical Group Co., Ltd.
If the revised fee structure had been applied starting in April
2024, it is estimated that total revenues for fiscal year 2024
would have decreased by approximately 10%. However, the Company
expects the impact on total revenues and income from operations for
fiscal year 2025 to be offset by the absence of one-time losses
that were recorded in fiscal year 2024, which were impairment loss
on intangible assets and stock-based compensation. Nevertheless,
the ultimate financial impact remains uncertain and will depend on
a number of factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s
control.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses non-GAAP measures, such as EBITDA, in
evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational
decision-making purposes. The Company believes that the non-GAAP
financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business.
The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide
useful information about the Company’s results of operations,
enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance
and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect
to key metrics used by the Company’s management in its financial
and operational decision-making.
The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP
and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP
financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when
assessing the Company’s operating performance, cash flows or
liquidity, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a
substitute for net loss, cash flows provided by operating
activities or other consolidated statements of operations and cash
flows data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The Company mitigates these limitations by reconciling the
non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP
performance measures, all of which should be considered when
evaluating the Company’s performance.
For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please
see the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and
Non-GAAP Results.”
Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are not historical facts or statements
of current conditions, but instead represent only the Company’s

current views with respect to, among other things, the Company’s
financial performance; growth in revenue and earnings; business
prospects and opportunities; and capital deployment plans and

“anticipates,” “contemplates,” “estimates,” “believes,” “plans,”

these or similar terms. The Company cautions readers not to place
undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which are
current only as of the date of this release and are subject to
various risks, uncertainties, assumptions, or changes in
circumstances that are difficult to predict or quantify. The
forward-looking statements are based on management’s current
expectations and are not guarantees of future performance. The
Company does not undertake or accept any obligation to release
publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements
to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events,
conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based,
except as required by law. Factors that may cause actual results to

them; such factors include, among other things, changes in global,
regional, or local economic, business, competitive, market and
regulatory conditions, and those listed under the heading “Risk
Factors” and elsewhere in the Company’s filings with the U.S.
