BOULDER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / August 11, 2022 / Sonoma Pharmaceuticals, 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, oral and nasal care, and dermatological conditions, today announced financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022.

"Our first quarter results reflect our continued prioritization of growth and profitability," said Amy Trombly, CEO of Sonoma. "First quarter revenues increased over the same period last year, reflecting the strength and diversity of our international operations, with increased sales in both Europe and Asia. We've added additional distribution partners in the U.S., and expanded our existing partner relationships, furthering our goals of increasing our presence in the U.S. and strengthening our international business. We believe this sharp focus on commericalization of new products and entry into new markets will have a significant positive impact on future results."

Business Highlights

Sonoma continued to grow its business by adding new partnerships and product lines, and gaining additional certifications for its products.

  • Sonoma launched MicrocynVS® directly for veterinarian clinics and practices, and announced a non-exclusive partnership with DV Med Supply, Inc. to commercialize the MicrocynVS® product line through its impressive direct channels to over 400 veterinary clinics. The MicrocynVS® line of products can be viewed at www.microcynvs.com. The veterinarian strength formulation is exclusively for veterinarians.
  • Certain of Sonoma's over-the-counter products received the Natural Personal Care Product certification from the Natural Products Association, proving again that Sonoma's Microcyn® Technology is not only highly effective in killing germs that can cause infection and disease, but is also safe and natural.
  • Sonoma continued to expand its U.S. distributor network by granting Lone Star Pharmaceuticals a non-exclusive right to sell Sonoma's dermatology, wound, eye, oral and dental care products in the United States.

Results for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2022

Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 of $4.0 million increased by $0.3 million, or 8%, as compared to $3.7 million for the same period last year. Revenues were up in Sonoma's international business in Europe and Asia. Sales decreased in the United States and Latin America as a result of divesting our U.S. prescription dermatology business and the end of the Invekra contract last year. Sonoma's revenues tend to be choppy when viewed on a quarterly basis due to customers placing larger but less frequent orders to benefit from quantity discounts and reduced shipping costs when ordering larger quanties. Also in the quarter ended June 30, 2022, Sonoma sold machinery to a customer in Latin America producing revenue of $750,000, and management expects this to be a one-time event.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, Sonoma reported revenues of $4.0 million and cost of revenues of $2.5 million resulting in gross profit of $1.5 million, or 36% of revenue, compared to a gross profit of $1.5 million, or 39% of revenue in the same period last year.

Total operating expenses during the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 were $2.3 million and nearly flat as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Net loss for the quarter was $0.9 million, down by $0.2 million, or 19% when compared to a net loss of $1.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. EBITDAS loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 of $0.6 million was down by $0.2 million, or 23%, compared to an EBITDAS loss of $0.8 million for the same period last year.

As of June 30, 2021, Sonoma had cash and cash equivalents of $5.6 million.
