WOODSTOCK, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Sonoma Pharma (Formerly Known As Oculus Innovative Sciences, Inc.) (Nasdaq: SNOA), a global healthcare leader developing and producing stabilized hypochlorous acid (HOCl) products for a wide range of applications, including wound care, eye care, nasal care, oral care and dermatological conditions today announced financial results for its second fiscal quarter and six months ended September 30, 2021.
“This quarter we focused on our new product launches as well as strengthening our results of operations and balance sheet,” said Amy Trombly, CEO of Sonoma Pharmaceuticals. “We are pleased to see the hard work reflected in improving financial results. Although, we continue to transition away from unprofitable revenues generated by an in-house dermatology sales force and our Latin America partner Invekra, we opened up new, higher margin revenue streams with our OTC sales, expanded partnerships and new product introductions. We also raised funds we intend to deploy commercializing new products and entering new markets.”
Business Highlights for the Second Fiscal Quarter
Sonoma continues to expand the reach of its products through partners and its own commercialization:
In August, Sonoma launched two new dental products. OroGenix Oral Hygiene Rinse, developed with its partner Gabriel Science, LLC, is Sonoma’s second dental product in the U.S. In Switzerland, Sonoma and its partner, Medical Systems Solutions launched Microdacyn® Oral Care for both professional and consumer use.
On September 28, 2021, Sonoma launched its OTC products, Regenacyn® Advanced Scar Gel and Ocucyn® Eyelid & Eyelash Cleanser, on Amazon.com in the U.S., and MucoClyns™ on Amazon sites in Europe. All three products are based on Sonoma’s patented Microcyn® technology and are immediately available for customer orders.
Also on September 28, 2021, Sonoma launched Regenacyn® Plus, a prescription-strength scar gel which is available as an office-dispense product through physician offices.
Together with its partner, Manna Pro, Sonoma now offers three new indications in animal health specifically for cats. The MicrocynAH® Cat Opthalmic Gel, MicrocynAH® Cat Eye & Ear Wash, and MicrocynAH® Cat Wound and Skin Care are now available at PetSmart.
On October 15, 2021, Sonoma and its partner, the MicroSafe Group, announced that the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) approved extended claims for Nanocyn® Disinfectant and Sanitizer, which is manufactured by Sonoma for its partner MicroSafe using Sonoma’s patented Microcyn® Technology with a 15 second kill time against common viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, Norovirus (Gastro), and influenza, and a 30-second kill contact time against common bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), E. coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, fungi and mold - including Candida Albicans.
Results for the Second Quarter Ended September 30, 2021
Revenue of $3,744,000 for the second quarter ended September 30, 2021, decreased by $2,025,000, or 35%, from $5,769,000 for the same period last year. Revenue increased by $60,000, or 2%, from $3,684,000 for the previous quarter ended June 30, 2021. The year-over-year decrease was primarily the result of decreases in revenue in Latin America of $1,506,000 and a decrease of $637,000 in United States revenue from the EMC deal, offset by an increase in revenue in Europe and the Rest of World of $118,000. The decrease in revenue in Latin America is the result of the low margin contract ending with Invekra in October 2020. Since then Invekra has begun to produce their own product and Sonoma is manufacturing backup orders at a reduced scale at full cost rather than reduced prices.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, Sonoma reported revenues of $3,744,000 and cost of revenues of $2,503,000, resulting in gross profit of $1,241,000 or 33% of revenues, compared to a gross profit of $2,502,000 or 43% of revenues, for the same period in the prior year, and compared to a gross profit of $1,453,000 or 39% of revenues, for the for the June quarter. For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, gross margins decreased by 10% when compared to the same period last year as a result of the EMC transition of Sonoma’s dermatological prescription products. EMC is now managing sales and distribution for those products. As a result, Sonoma sells products to EMC for a lower cost than it realized from its own direct sales, however, it also eliminated the overhead of direct sales.
Total operating expenses during the second quarter of fiscal year 2021 were $2,205,000, down $128,000, or 5%, when compared to $2,333,000 during the same period in the prior year. Total operating expenses were down $152,000, or 6%, when compared to $2,357,000 during the June quarter. The decrease in total operating expenses over both periods was primarily related to a reduction in headcount in direct sales, partially offset by increased insurance costs.
Net loss from continuing operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, was $(95,000), compared to a net income of $151,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. EBITDAS income for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 of $11,000, was down $354,000, compared to an EBITDAS income of $365,000 for the same period last year. Net loss from continuing operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, was down $1,003,000, or 91%, compared to a net loss of $1,098,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. EBITDAS income for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 was down $808,000, or 101%, compared to an EBITDAS loss of $797,000 for the previous quarter.
Results for the Six Months Ended September 30, 2021
Revenue of $7,428,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2021, decreased by $4,108,000, or 36%, from $11,536,000 for the same period last year. This decrease was primarily the result of decreases in revenue in Latin America of $3,267,000, Europe and Rest of World of $175,000, and the United States of $666,000, respectively. The decrease in revenue in Latin America resulted from the contract termination with Invekra in October 2020. Since then Invekra has begun to produce their own product and Sonoma is manufacturing backup orders at a reduced scale at full cost rather than reduced prices.
For the six months ended September 30, 2021, Sonoma reported revenues of $7,428,000 and cost of revenues of $4,734,000, resulting in gross profit of $2,694,000, or 36% of revenues, compared to a gross profit of $4,757,000 or 41% or revenues. For the six month ended September 30, 2021, gross margins decreased by 5% when compared to the same periods last year as a result of the EMC transition of Sonoma’s dermatological prescription products. EMC is now managing sales and distribution for those products. As a result, Sonoma sells products to EMC for a lower cost than it realized from its own direct sales, however it also eliminated the overhead of direct sales.
Total operating expenses during the six months ended September 30, 2021 of $4,563,000 decreased by $690,000, or 13%, compared to $5,253,000 during the same period last year. The decrease in total operating expenses was primarily related to a reduction in headcount as a result of the EMC deal, partially offset by increased insurance costs.
Net loss from continuing operations for the six months ended September 30, 2020, was $(1,193,000), compared to a net loss of $(557,000) for the same period in prior year. EBITDAS loss for the six months ended September 30, 2021 of $(979,000), was up $752,000, compared to an EBITDAS loss of $(227,000) for the same period last year.
As of September 30, 2021, Sonoma had cash and cash equivalents of $8,392,000. During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, Sonoma sold 855,500 shares of common stock through its At The Market Offering Agreement with HC Wainwright & Co., LLC at average sales prices of $8.42 per share for gross proceeds of $7,202,000 and net proceeds of $6,902,000 after deducting commissions and other offering expenses.
Since September 30, 2021, Sonoma sold 94,600 shares of common stock at an average sales price of $7.39 per share for gross proceeds of $700,000 and net proceeds of $678,000 after deducting commissions and other offering expenses.
