    Источник: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 14 авг 2023 16:05:01   America/New_York

    LANGHORNE, Pa., Aug. 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NEXGEL, Inc. (“NEXGEL” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: “NXGL”), a leading provider of ultra-gentle, high-water-content hydrogel products for healthcare and consumer applications, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

    Adam Levy, NEXGEL’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Record second quarter revenue of $1.17 million, an increase of 108% year-over-year, exceeded our projections. Our contract manufacturing line of business increased 174% year-over-year, predominately due to the full quarter contribution of our joint venture with C.G. Laboratories as well as increased demand from our existing contract customers. New and existing direct-to-consumer branded products also continued to sell through well during the quarter, increasing 44% year-over-year.”

    Mr. Levy continued, “During the second quarter, we strategically invested in inventory and capital expenditure to improve equipment and increase capacity in anticipation of demand we expect during the second half of this year and beyond. Thus far the branded products sequential growth trend we saw in the first half of the year has continued into the current third quarter. Taking into account the investments we made during the quarter, we continue to have a sufficient runway of cash to operate and invest in accelerating our growth going forward.”

    2023 Operational Highlights to Date

    • Announced a new strategic relationship with Enigma Health, a new joint venture company, for retail distribution and marketing services in North America.
    • Acquired a 50% interest in a newly formed joint venture (“JV”), CG Converting and Packaging, LLC, with C.G. Laboratories Inc. (“CG Labs”) for its converting and packaging business.
    • Executed a supply agreement with a large new customer relating to a new consumer product.
    • Launched advertising and marketing initiative, which has increased branded product sales.

    Second Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights

    For the second quarter of 2023, revenue totaled $1.17 million, an increase of $606 thousand or 108%, as compared to $561 thousand for the same period the year prior. The quarterly increase in overall revenues was primarily due to sales growth in contract manufacturing of 174% and branded products of 44% year-over-year. Revenue for the quarter included a full quarter contribution from the newly formed joint venture with C.G. Laboratories.

    Gross profit for the second quarter of 2023 was $175 thousand, compared to a gross profit of $101 thousand for the same prior year period. Gross profit margin for the second quarter of 2023 was 15% as compared to 18% for the same period the year prior. The increase in gross profit was mainly due to the higher volume of contract manufacturing sales against fixed costs partially offset by higher manufacturing labor costs and increased manufacturing of promotional materials and customer product samples to support new product line growth.

    Total operating expenses, including R&D and SG&A expenses, increased to $937 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $819 thousand for the prior year period. The year-over-year increase was attributable to an increase in compensation and benefits and professional fees. Advertising, marketing, and Amazon fees also increased period-over-period to support new product line growth.

    Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, improved to $687 thousand or $0.13 per basic and diluted share, compared to net loss of $1 million or $0.19 per basic and diluted share for the same period in 2022.

    As of March 31, 2023, NEXGEL had approximately $4.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. During the quarter the Company invested in inventory and capital expenditures for new equipment and increase in capacity at its manufacturing facility in anticipation of increased demand in contract manufacturing during the second half of 2023.

    As of June 30, 2023, NEXGEL had 5,696,064 shares of common stock outstanding.
