("NEXGEL" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: "NXGL"), a leading provider of healthcare, beauty, and over-the-counter (OTC) products including ultra-gentle, high-water-content hydrogel products for healthcare and consumer applications, today announced its second quarter 2025 financial results for the period ending June 30, 2025.

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights:

	●	Net Revenue was $2.88 million, compared to $1.44 million in Q2 2024 and $2.81 million in Q1 2025.
	●	Gross Profit was $1.26 million, compared to $0.29 million in Q2 2024 and $1.19 million in Q1 2025.
	●	Gross Profit Margin was 43.6%, compared to 20.3% in Q2 2024 and 42.4% in Q1 2025.
	●	Net loss attributable to NEXGEL stockholders was $0.67 million, compared to $0.89 million in Q2 2024 and $0.71 million in Q1 2025.
	●	EBITDA¹, a non-GAAP financial measure, was ($0.53) million, compared to EBITDA of ($0.58) million in Q1 2025 and an EBITDA of ($0.73) million in Q4 2024.
	●	Adjusted EBITDA¹, a non-GAAP financial measure, was ($0.42) million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of ($0.50) million in Q1 2025 and Adjusted EBITDA of ($0.62) million in Q4 2024.

"For the second quarter of 2025 we reported strong revenue and gross margin with a steady decline of our Adjusted EBITDA loss as we head into seasonally a strong second half of the year. The year-over-year growth was led by growth in consumer demand for our branded products and new agreements in contract manufacturing. In both parts of our business, we expect significant growth opportunities in the second half of 2025 as new consumer product launches for our brands come online and we onboard new contract manufacturing customers in our robust pipeline," said Adam Levy, Chief Executive Officer of NEXGEL. "Subsequent to the quarter, we expanded our partnership with STADA, which includes a $1 million advance in non-dilutive capital to support product launches and marketing efforts. Additionally we closed on financings for $1.05 million in gross proceeds, which is sufficient to support our upcoming growth initiatives. We remain confident in our previously issued guidance for 2025 of $13 million in revenue and to achieve positive EBITDA during the year."

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

For the second quarter of 2025, revenue totaled $2.88 million, an increase of 100.3%, as compared to $1.44 million for the second quarter of 2024. The increase in overall revenues was primarily due to sales growth in both contract manufacturing and branded products.

Cost of revenues totaled $1.63 million for the second quarter of 2025, as compared to $1.15 million for the second quarter of 2024. The increase in cost of revenues is primarily aligned with sales of branded consumer products, as Silly George was acquired midway through the comparable 2024 time period.

Gross profit totaled $1.26 million for the second quarter of 2025, as compared to a gross profit of $0.29 million for the second quarter of 2024. Gross profit margin for the second quarter of 2025 was 43.6%, as compared to 20.3% for the second quarter of 2024. The increase of $0.97 million in gross profit on a year-over-year basis was primarily due to both an increase in contract manufacturing and consumer branded products given the acquisition of Silly George midway through the comparable 2024 time period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $1.89 million for the second quarter of 2025, as compared to $1.27 million for the second quarter of 2024. The increase year-over-year was attributable to increases in compensation and benefits, share-based compensation, advertising, professional and consulting fees, other fees, and investor and shareholder services, which was partly offset by a decrease in depreciation and amortization.

EBITDA¹, a non-GAAP financial measure, totaled ($0.53) million for the second quarter of 2025 as compared to ($0.76) million for the second quarter of 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA¹, a non-GAAP financial measure, totaled ($0.42) million for the second quarter of 2025 as compared to ($0.79) million for the second quarter 2024.

Net loss attributable to NEXGEL stockholders for the second quarter of 2025 was $0.67 million, as compared to a net loss of $0.89 million for the second quarter of 2024.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had a cash balance of approximately $0.73 million. Subsequent to the quarter, the Company expanded its partnership with STADA, which includes a $1 million advance in non-dilutive capital from STADA to support product launches and marketing efforts. Additionally, the Company closed on financings for $1.05 million in gross proceeds.

As of August 12, 2025, NEXGEL had 8,067,580 shares of common stock outstanding.
