NovaBay Pharmaceuticals Reports First Quarter 2024 Financial Results

  • Net product sales increased 13% over the prior year driven by higher sales of Avenova®-branded products through OTC channels and branded wound care products
  • Sales and marketing expenses declined 15% reflecting continued digital marketing optimization
  • Ordered product sales for Avenova-branded products on Amazon.com reached new all-time records in March and April

Conference call begins at 4:30 p.m. Eastern time today

NovaBay® Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE American: NBY) reports financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and provides a business update.

“Net product sales growth of 13% versus the prior year was driven by higher sales of Avenova-branded products through online channels and by sales of branded wound care products,” said Justin Hall, CEO of NovaBay. “During the quarter, ordered sales for Avenova products on Amazon.com, our most important sales channel, hit new all-time records in March and again in April. We achieved these records by further optimizing our highly efficient digital marketing programs while reducing our sales and marketing spend, which declined by 15% versus the prior year.

“NovaBay is operating under a streamlined business model primarily focused on the large and growing eyecare market, with creative marketing programs that are resonating well with online customers,” he added. “We are working to build upon this growth by introducing new and enhanced digital media programs to cost-efficiently support our loyal customer base and reach new prospective customers.”

First Quarter Financial Results

Financial results for the first quarters of 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 Form 10-Q, which is to be filed with the SEC later today.

Product sales, net for the first quarter of 2024 were $2.6 million, an increase of 13% from $2.3 million for the prior-year period, with the increase due primarily to higher Avenova-branded products sold through online channels and an increase in PhaseOne®-branded wound care products.

Gross margin on net product revenue for the first quarters of 2024 and 2023 remained consistent at 68%.

Sales and marketing expenses for the first quarter of 2024 were $1.1 million, a 15% decrease from $1.2 million for the prior-year period, reflecting continued lower digital advertising and related consulting costs. General and administrative (G&A) expenses for the first quarter of 2024 were $2.3 million, compared with $1.7 million for the prior-year period, with the increase due mainly to higher legal costs primarily related to non-recurring strategic initiatives. Research & development (R&D) expenses for the first quarter of 2024 were $19 thousand, versus $10 thousand for the prior-year period. The Company recorded a non-cash loss of $865 thousand for the first quarter of 2024 related to the DERMAdoctor divestiture, with no comparable item in the prior-year period.

For the first quarter of 2024, non-cash items included a gain on changes in fair value of warrant liabilities of $0.2 million, a gain on change in fair value of embedded derivative liability of $65 thousand and accretion of interest and amortization of discounts on convertible notes of $0.4 million. There were no comparable items for the first quarter of 2023.

Other expense, net for the first quarter of 2024 was $0.5 million, primarily due to the issuance of the March 2024 warrant and the unsecured convertible notes issued in March 2024, with no comparable item in the first quarter of 2023.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the first quarter of 2024 was $3.6 million, or $0.15 per share, compared with a net loss attributable to common stockholders for the first quarter of 2023 of $1.7 million, or $0.85 per share.

NovaBay had cash and cash equivalents of $1.8 million as of March 31, 2024, compared with $2.9 million as of December 31, 2023.
