LANGHORNE, Pa., July 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NEXGEL, Inc. (“NEXGEL” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: NXGL), a leading provider of medical and over-the-counter (OTC) products including ultra-gentle, high-water-content hydrogels for healthcare and consumer applications, today announced preliminary, unaudited revenue for the second quarter of 2024 and has provided revenue guidance for the third and fourth quarter of 2024.
Based on preliminary and unaudited review, the Company anticipates:
- Second Quarter 2024 Revenue: $1.4 million, an increase of approximately 20% year-over-year and 10% sequentially
- Third Quarter 2024 Revenue: $2.2 million, an increase of 83% year-over-year
- Fourth Quarter 2024 Revenue: $2.6 million, an increase of 140% year-over-year
Adam Levy, CEO of NEXGEL, commented, “We are pleased to deliver record revenue for the second quarter of 2024 in spite of lower-than-normal revenues at CG Converting and Packaging due to our move into our newly expanded facility. We are also pleased to provide an outlook for our expected results for the second half of this year that has exceeded our expectations for both contract manufacturing and consumer products. The growth in contract manufacturing is primarily due to new customer relationships with large global corporations. Additionally, many of our brands are also experiencing significant growth. Silly George is leading the way with strong consumer demand for our new Pop-On Lash product line released in May. While our projections for Q3 and Q4 do not yet include any revenue from our relationship with AbbVie, the growth we expect in the second half of this year positions us well to move to positive cash flow from operations.”
