NovaBay Pharmaceuticals Reports Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

  • Net product revenue from Avenova®-branded eyecare products grew 7% year-over-year, reflecting an increased contribution from the physician dispensed channel
  • Sales and marketing expenses declined 7% versus the prior year through continued optimized digital marketing programs
  • Operating loss for the first nine months of 2023 narrowed by 16% from the prior year
  • Marketing activities are underway to promote differentiated, high-quality Avenova Allograft to a broad target audience of U.S. eyecare specialists

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

NovaBay® Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE American: NBY) reports financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and provides a business update.

“We are successfully expanding relationships with eyecare specialists with product sales from our physician dispensed channel growing 36% over the prior year and increasing in each consecutive quarter so far in 2023. Our multiple sales channels for Avenova have a tremendous impact on one another, with our physician dispensed channel creating a halo effect over our over-the-counter products. When patients first learn about Avenova from their doctor, there is an inherent trust in the brand that we can leverage in our direct-to-consumer sales channel,” said Justin Hall, NovaBay CEO. “We continued to benefit from our expertise in digital marketing, resulting in a 7% decrease in sales and marketing spend for the quarter and a 13% decline year-to-date. Operating loss narrowed by 16% for the first nine months of 2023 as we managed our expenses.

“We are capitalizing on opportunities to leverage and build the physician dispensed channel by promoting our new Avenova Allograft through an extensive marketing campaign targeting U.S. ophthalmologists and optometrists. As with our other best-in-class eyecare products, Avenova Allograft has distinct advantages that include being the only ophthalmic allograft manufactured using a patented six-step BioREtain® process that preserves the natural integrity of the placental tissue,” he added. “We anticipate a strong finish to 2023 for our DERMAdoctor® brand with marketing programs focused on 11/11, China’s biggest online shopping event, as well as various programs and promotions for the upcoming holiday season.”

Third Quarter Financial Results

Total sales, net for the third quarter of 2023 was $3.3 million, compared with $3.8 million for the prior-year period, with the decrease primarily due to lower DERMAdoctor skincare product sales. Net product revenue for the third quarter of 2023 included $2.4 million of Avenova-branded eyecare product sales, $0.8 million of DERMAdoctor skincare product sales and $0.1 million of PhaseOne® wound care product sales.

Gross margin on net product revenue for the third quarter of 2023 was 56%, compared with 62% for the third quarter of 2022, with the decrease primarily due to product and channel mix.

Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2023 were $3.0 million, compared with $2.8 million for the third quarter of 2022. Sales and marketing expenses were $1.7 million, a 7% decrease from $1.8 million for the prior year, reflecting lower digital advertising costs and lower expenses for outside professional services. General and administrative (G&A) expenses were $1.2 million, compared with $1.0 million for the prior year, due to the reversal of previously recorded performance-based compensation expenses in the prior fiscal year. Research & development (R&D) expenses were reduced to $11 thousand, versus $41 thousand for the prior year. Total operating loss for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $1.1 million, compared with $457 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2022, with the increase due primarily to note repayments, lower margins and higher G&A expenses, partially offset by lower sales and marketing expenses.

Other expense, net for the third quarter of 2023 was $641 thousand, compared with other expense, net of $171 thousand for the third quarter of 2022, with the increase primarily due to the amortization of discount and issuance costs related to convertible notes issued in May 2023 with no comparable expense for the third quarter of 2022.

The third quarter of 2022 included a non-cash gain on changes in fair value of warrant liability of $2.4 million, a non-cash loss on the modification of common stock warrants of $1.9 million, and a non-cash increase to accumulated deficit due to adjustment to Series B preferred stock conversion price of $5.7 million, with each related to the warrant reprice transaction completed in September 2022. There were no comparable items in the 2023 period.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the third quarter of 2023 was $1.8 million, or $0.37 per share. This compares with a net loss attributable to common stockholders for the third quarter of 2022 of $5.8 million, or $3.61 per share.

Nine Month Financial Results

Total sales, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $11.0 million, an increase of 2% from $10.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Gross margin on net product revenue remained relatively unchanged for the first nine months of 2023 at 55%, compared with 56% for the first nine months of 2022.

Total operating expenses for the first nine months of 2023 were $10.3 million, a decrease of 7% compared with $11.0 million for the first nine months of 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, sales and marketing expenses decreased by 13% and G&A expenses increased by 2%, both compared with the prior-year period. R&D expenses for the first nine months of 2023 were $64 thousand, versus $108 thousand for the prior-year period. Total operating loss for the first nine months of 2023 declined by 16% from the first nine months of 2022.

Other expense, net for the first nine months of 2023 was $1.3 million, versus other expense, net of $0.2 million for the first nine months of 2022, with the increase primarily due to the amortization of discount and issuance costs related to the convertible notes issued in May 2023 with no comparable expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

The nine months ended September 30, 2023 included a non-cash gain on the change in fair value of warrant liability of $0.2 million, a non-cash loss on modification of common stock warrants of $0.3 million, a non-cash increase to accumulated deficit due to adjustment to the Series B preferred stock of $1.8 million, and a non-cash increase to accumulated deficit due to adjustment to the Series C preferred stock of $0.2 million. The nine months ended September 30, 2022 included a non-cash gain on changes in fair value of warrant liability of $4.5 million, a non-cash gain on change in fair value of contingent liability of $0.2 million, a non-cash loss on modification of common stock warrants of $1.9 million, and a non-cash increase to accumulated deficit due to adjustment to Series B preferred stock conversion price of $5.7 million.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the first nine months of 2023 was $7.5 million, or $2.27 per share. This compares with a net loss for the first nine months of 2022 of $8.1 million, or $5.32 per share.

NovaBay had cash and cash equivalents of $3.5 million as of September 30, 2023, compared with $5.4 million as of December 31, 2022. In May 2023, the Company completed a private placement of convertible debentures and warrants for aggregate gross proceeds of $3.0 million.
