Sonoma Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNOA), a specialty pharmaceutical company dedicated to identifying, developing and commercializing unique, differentiated therapies to millions of patients living with chronic skin conditions, today announced financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2019.

“We are pleased that our third fiscal quarter results show continued progress towards our goal of building a sustainable company that can deliver both growth and profitability.  This quarter is the closest we have come to break-even in the Company’s history,” said Amy Trombly, CEO of Sonoma Pharmaceuticals. Ms. Trombly continued, “We anticipate that 2020 will be a year of focusing on business strategies and geographic markets that have shown success and have future promise.  We expect that our revenues and earnings will fluctuate in the near-term as we divest low or non-profitable business units and invest in strategies that have shown positive results.”

Results for the Quarter Ended December 31, 2019

Total revenue of $4,678,000 for the third quarter ended December 31, 2019, decreased by $602,000, or 11%, from $5,280,000 for the same period last year. Product revenues of $4,381,000 for the third quarter ended December 31, 2019, were down by 13%, or $664,000, when compared to $5,045,000 in the same period last year. This decrease was primarily the result of decline in product revenue of $918,000, or 31%, in the United States partly due to the launch of Epicyn in the quarter ended December 31, 2018, and weakening insurance reimbursements for our prescription products in the current quarter. The decrease was partially offset by growth in product revenue of $195,000, or 17%, in Europe and Rest of World mostly as a result of increased sales, and an increase of product revenue of $59,000, or 6%, in Latin America.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2019, Sonoma reported total revenues of $4,678,000 and total cost of revenues of $2,520,000, resulting in total gross profit of $2,158,000 or 46% of total revenues, compared to a gross profit of $2,847,000 or 54% of total revenues, for the same period in the prior year. Product revenues were $4,381,000 and cost of product revenues were $2,394,000, resulting in product gross profit of $1,987,000, or 45% of product revenues, compared to product gross profit of $2,776,000, or 55% of product revenues, for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of product revenues was primarily due to product mix and weakened insurance reimbursements in the current period.

Total operating expenses during the third quarter of fiscal year 2020 were $3,140,000, down $2,057,000, or 40%, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in total operating expenses was primarily the result of certain cost savings measures implemented during 2019, including a reduction in headcount. 

Net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 of $1,084,000 decreased by $1,214,000, or 53%, when compared to net loss of $2,298,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in net loss is due to a decrease in operating expenses of $2,057,000, or 40%, primarily due to certain cost saving measures implemented during the latter part of fiscal year 2019. EBITDA loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 of $802,000, was down $1,839,000, or 56%, compared to an EBITDA loss of $1,037,000, for the same period last year. 

As of December 31, 2019, Sonoma had cash and cash equivalents of $3,727,000.

Results for the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2019

Total revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2019, of $14,357,000 decreased by $231,000, or 2%, as compared to $14,588,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2018. Product revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 of $13,478,000 decreased by $297,000, or 2%, as compared to $13,775,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2018. This decrease in product revenue was primarily the result of a decline of $621,000, or 8%, in United States partly due to the launch of Epicyn in the prior year, weakening insurance reimbursements for our prescription products and a decrease in spending on sales and marketing efforts in the current period. This decrease was partially offset by growth in product revenue of $752,000, or 22% in Europe and Rest of World mostly as a result of increased sales and an expansion of customer base. Product revenues in Latin America for the nine months ended December 31, 2019, of $2,577,000 decreased by $428,000, or 14%, from $3,005,000 for the same period last year. The decrease was primarily the result of a large initial order by our customer in Brazil in the nine months ended December 31, 2018, offset by a slight increase in Mexico revenue in the current period.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2019, Sonoma reported total revenues of $14,357,000 and total cost of revenues of $7,538,000, resulting in total gross profit of 6,819,000 or 47% of total revenues, compared to a gross profit of $7,005,000 or 48% of total revenues, for the same period in the prior year.

Net loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 of $1,572,000 decreased by $7,004,000, when compared to net loss of $8,576,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in net loss is due to a decrease in operating loss of $4,640,000 as a result of a decrease in operating expenses of $4,826,000 primarily due to certain cost savings measures implemented during the latter part of fiscal year 2019.

Additionally, for the nine months ended December 31, 2019, Sonoma reported income related to the sale of certain assets to Petagon in the amount of $2,472,000.  EBITDA loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 of $3,165,000, was down $3,708,000, or 54%, compared to an EBITDA loss of $6,873,000 for the same period last year.
