    LANGHORNE, Pa., May 13, 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 its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

    Adam Levy, NEXGEL’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Following a record year of growth in 2023, I am pleased to report our first quarter financial results that demonstrate steady growth year-over-year and preparedness for significant growth levers we expect in 2024. Revenue for the quarter grew 104% year-over-year driven by growth in both contract manufacturing and consumer branded product business segments of approximately 58% and 178%, respectively. In the first quarter and into the second quarter of this year we are investing for the growth we expect in the back half of this year. We are nearly complete with the capacity expansion of our facility in Texas along with installation of state-of-the art equipment in preparation for product launches with Abbvie and others. Additionally, we expect to launch our first batch of consumer branded products in Europe and are in the final stages of receiving the proper certifications to do so. We have a lot to be excited about regarding our future growth opportunities at NEXGEL.”

    First Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights

    For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, revenue totaled $1.27 million, an increase of $646,000, or 104%, as compared to $620,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The increase in revenue was driven by sales growth in contract manufacturing of approximately 58% and branded products of 178%.

    Gross profit totaled $277,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to a gross profit loss of $57,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase of $334,000 in gross profit year-over-year was primarily due to the increase in consumer branded products.

    Gross profit margin for the first quarter of 2024 was 21.9% compared to a negative gross margin for the first quarter of 2023 of 9.2% and a gross profit margin of 14.6% in the fourth quarter of 2023.

    Cost of revenues increased by $312,000, or 46.1%, to $989,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $677,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in cost of revenues is primarily aligned with the new product line growth and an increase in compensation and benefits with the increase in revenue growth.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $349,000 or 43.8%, to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $797,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to an increase in advertising, marketing and Amazon fees, professional and consulting fees, and of compensation and benefits expense.

    Research and development expenses decreased by $27,000 to $2,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, from $29,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

    Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was $905,000 as compared to a net loss of 807,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2023.

    As of March 31, 2024, the Company had a cash balance of $2.4 million, which includes an approximate $1 million registered direct offering led by insiders. During the quarter, there was a net usage of cash for investment due to several non-recurring key strategic investments and acquisition costs.

    As of March 31, 2024, NEXGEL had 6,227,624 shares of common stock outstanding.
