Insights

NEXGEL's Q2 2024 results show promising growth, with revenue reaching a record $1.44 million, up 23.4% year-over-year. The acquisition of Silly George is proving to be a significant driver, contributing substantially in just 45 days. The company's gross profit margin improved to 28.5%, up from 15.0% in Q2 2023, indicating better operational efficiency.

However, the increased SG&A expenses, up 57.4% YoY, primarily due to marketing costs, are concerning. This led to a wider net loss of $979,000 compared to $642,000 in Q2 2023. The recent $1.11 million offering provides some financial cushion, but careful management of expenses will be important for profitability.

The guidance for Q3 and Q4 2024 revenue of $2.2 million and $2.6 million respectively, if achieved, would represent significant growth. Investors should monitor the integration of Silly George and the performance of new partnerships with STADA and Cintas.

NEXGEL's strategic moves in Q2 2024 position it well in the growing hydrogel market. The acquisition of Silly George, an international beauty company, expands NEXGEL's consumer product portfolio and global reach. This diversification strategy could help mitigate risks associated with contract manufacturing fluctuations.

The partnership with STADA for Histasolv® (DAOSIN®) distribution in North America opens up new market opportunities. Similarly, the agreement with Cintas for SilverSeal distribution leverages Cintas' extensive business network, potentially boosting B2B sales.

The ongoing institutional review board study on hydrogel application during laser hair removal demonstrates NEXGEL's commitment to innovation and could lead to new product applications. These initiatives, combined with the projected revenue growth, indicate a company actively expanding its market presence and product offerings in the healthcare and consumer sectors.

LANGHORNE, Pa., Aug. 14, 2024 (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 record second quarter 2024 revenue of $1.44 million and is reiterating revenue guidance for the 2024 third and fourth quarter of $2.2 million and $2.6 million, respectively.

Adam Levy, NEXGEL’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The second quarter of 2024 was a record revenue quarter for the Company, totaling $1.44 million, an increase of 23.4% year-over-year and 13.7% sequentially. Branded consumer product revenue was a key growth driver during the quarter led by our Silly George brand, which contributed revenue for approximately half the quarter. At the time of closing on the acquisition, Silly George was on a revenue run rate of $2 million. In July alone Silly George sales were over $380,000 on Shopify only. We continue to be excited with this acquisition and revenue opportunities from our partnerships with STADA and Cintas in the back half of this year.”

Second Quarter 2024 Business and Operational Highlights

  • Acquired Silly George, an international beauty company with specialty in eye and eyelash consumer products.
  • Announced the first product, Histasolv®, sold as DAOSIN® in Europe, to be distributed in partnership with STADA Arzneimittel AG (“STADA”) in North America.
  • Signed agreement with Cintas Corporation, a leading provider of corporate identity uniforms, first aid and safety products and services to over 1 million businesses across North America, to distribute SilverSeal.

Subsequent Events

  • Issued revenue guidance for the third and fourth quarters of 2024 of $2.2 million and $2.6 million, an increase of 83% and 140% year-over-year, respectively.
  • Closed on registered direct offering led by insiders for gross proceeds of approximately $1.11 million.
  • In partnership with Innovative Optics, a leading supplier of safety products and person protective equipment for medical, surgical, and aesthetic healthcare facilities globally, initiated an institutional review board study on the benefits of hydrogel application during laser hair removal.

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights

For the quarter ended June 30, 2024, revenue totaled $1.44 million, an increase of $273,000, or 23.4%, as compared to $1.17 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The increase in revenue was driven by sales growth in branded consumer products, including approximately 45 days of revenue from Silly George, partially offset by a decrease in contract manufacturing. Contract manufacturing revenue was impacted by CGN’s move into its new facility and will normalize and grow in the third and fourth quarter of 2024.

Gross profit totaled $410,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to a gross profit of $175,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase of $235,000 in gross profit year-over-year was primarily due to the increase in branded consumer products.

Gross profit margin for the second quarter of 2024 was 28.5% compared to a gross margin for the second quarter of 2023 of 15.0% and a gross profit margin of 21.9% in the first quarter of 2024.

Cost of revenues increased by $38,000, or 3.8%, to $1.03 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $992,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in cost of revenues is primarily aligned with sales of branded consumer products, partially offset by a decrease in cost of revenues from lower contract manufacturing revenue.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $506,000 or 57.4%, to $1.39 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $882,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to an increase in advertising, marketing, and Amazon fees, attributable to promotion of Kenkoderm and Silly George. The Company expects these costs to increase in the third quarter with a full quarter of Silly George revenue and with further growth in branded consumer products.

Research and development expenses increased by $21,000 to $76,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, from $55,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2024, was $979,000 as compared to a net loss of $642,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2023.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had a cash balance of approximately $1.1 million. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company closed on a registered direct offering of $1.11 million, led by insiders. The use of proceeds for the financing is for working capital and the immediate requirement for additional inventory and marketing to meet the higher-than-expected demand for the Silly George brand products. The Company believes it has sufficient cash and marketable securities to operate its business plan into 2025.

As of August 14, 2024, NEXGEL had 6,324,266 shares of common stock outstanding, which number does not include the 444,000 shares of common stock we anticipate issuing in connection with our recent offering.
