Second Quarter 2024 Sales Analysis (Consolidated)
During the second quarter of 2024, the Company continued to further penetrate existing accounts while also expanding into new territories, growing the number of facilities where our products were sold to 800+ in Q2 2024 compared to 600+ in Q2 2023. For the quarter ended June 30, 2024, Sanara generated net revenue of $20.2 million compared to net revenue of $15.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, a 28% increase from the prior year period. The higher net revenue in the second quarter of 2024 was due to increased sales of soft tissue repair products (CellerateRX® Surgical Activated Collagen®, FORTIFY TRG® Tissue Repair Graft, FORTIFY FLOWABLE® Extracellular Matrix, BIASURGE® and TEXAGEN® Amniotic Membrane Allograft) as well as a result of increased market penetration, geographic expansion and the Company’s continuing strategy to expand its independent distribution network in both new and existing U.S. markets.
Earnings Analysis (Consolidated)
Sanara reported a net loss of $3.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to a net loss of $1.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The higher net loss in 2024 was primarily due to increased SG&A costs related to direct sales and marketing expenses, which increased $3.4 million compared to the prior year, $0.9 million of executive separation costs, $0.4 million of acquisition costs and higher amortization expenses of $0.3 million related to our intangible assets acquired from Applied Nutritionals during the third quarter of 2023. Our net loss in the second quarter of 2024 also included $0.6 million of interest expense due to our term loan with CRG. These increased costs were partially offset by higher gross profit of $4.6 million and lower R&D expenses of $0.2 million.
