Avenova®-branded products through online channels
- Sales and marketing expenses declined 13% reflecting efficient
growth through digital marketing optimization
- Balance sheet strengthened with $3.9 million financing in
July
Conference call begins at 4:30 p.m. Eastern
time today
NovaBay® Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE American: NBY) reports
financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024
and provides a business update.
“Revenue growth was driven by higher Avenova sales through
online channels including an expanded subscription customer base,”
said Justin Hall, CEO of NovaBay. “The number of Subscribe &
Save customers on Amazon.com increased 16% during the first half of
the year. In fact, subscriber sales on Amazon.com and Avenova.com
accounted for approximately 24% of all online Avenova sales year to
date. These recurring sales create predictable revenue, provide a
strong foundation for future growth and allow us to efficiently
manage our sales and marketing spend, which decreased 13% for the
quarter. These repeat sales also give us confidence in achieving
our goal of 2024 net revenue from our eyecare business of
approximately $10.0 million.
“Following the close of the quarter we completed a capital raise
that strengthened our balance sheet, allowing us to pursue
strategic and fundamental transactions from a position of
strength,” he added.
Second Quarter Financial Results
Financial results for the three and six months ended June 30,
2024 and 2023 do not include results from DERMAdoctor, which was
divested on March 25, 2024 and is accounted for in discontinued
operations. Financial information about discontinued operations is
available under “Divestiture and Discontinued Operations” in the
Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June
30, 2024, which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”) later
today.
Total sales, net for the second quarter of 2024 were $2.4
million. Essentially all net sales for the quarter were derived
from sales of eyecare products, which increased 8% over the prior
year due to more Avenova®-branded products sold through online
channels. Total sales, net for the second quarter of 2023 were $3.5
million, which included $2.2 million from eyecare products and $1.3
million from wound care products, including a large order of
NeutroPhase®-branded wound care products with no comparable order
in the 2024 period.
Gross margin on net sales for the second quarter of 2024 was
66%, compared with 49% for the second quarter of 2023, with the
improvement primarily due to product mix.
Sales and marketing expenses for the second quarter of 2024 were
$1.0 million, a 13% decrease from $1.2 million for the prior-year
period, reflecting continued efficiencies in digital advertising
and lower professional services. General and administrative
(G&A) expenses for the second quarters of 2024 and 2023
remained consistent at $1.6 million. Research & development
(R&D) expenses for the second quarter of 2024 were $9 thousand,
versus $22 thousand for the prior-year period.
Non-cash items for the second quarter of 2024 included a loss on
the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $80 thousand and
a loss on adjustments to the fair value of embedded derivative
liability of $83 thousand. Non-cash items for the second quarter of
2023 included a gain on changes in fair value of warrant
liabilities of $216 thousand and a gain on change in fair value of
embedded derivative liability of $40 thousand. Accretion of
interest and amortization of discounts on convertible notes for the
second quarter of 2024 was $0.3 million, compared with $0.5 million
for the second quarter of 2023.
Other expense, net for the second quarter of 2024 was $69
thousand, compared with $0.4 million for the second quarter of
2023, with the decrease due primarily to higher financing costs in
the prior-year period.
Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the second
quarter of 2024 was $1.6 million, or $1.37 per share. This compares
with a net loss attributable to common stockholders for the second
quarter of 2023 of $4.0 million, or $44.43 per share, which
included a $2.0 million non-cash increase to accumulated deficit
due to an adjustment to the preferred stock conversion price.
Six Month Financial Results
Total sales, net for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $5.0
million, compared with $5.9 million for the six months ended June
30, 2023.
Gross margin on net sales for the first half of 2024 increased
to 67% from 57% for the first half of 2023.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, sales and marketing
expenses decreased 14% and G&A expenses increased 19%, both
compared with the six months ended June 30, 2023. R&D expenses
were $28 thousand for the first half of 2024, versus $32 thousand
for the prior-year period.
Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the first half
of 2024 was $5.2 million, or $5.57 per share, compared with a net
loss for the first half of 2023 of $5.8 million, or $77.42 per
share.
NovaBay had cash and cash equivalents of $0.8 million as of June
30, 2024, compared with $2.9 million as of December 31, 2023. In
July 2024, the Company completed an underwritten public offering
raising gross proceeds of $3.9 million.
