ChromaDex Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Total net sales of $22.7 million, up 12% year-over-year, gross margin of 60.2%, lower operating expenses, resulting in approximately breakeven net loss and positive Adjusted EBITDA of $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

ChromaDex Corp. (NASDAQ:CDXC) today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2024.

Second Quarter 2024 Financial and Recent Operational Highlights

  • Total net sales were $22.7 million, with $18.6 million from Tru Niagen®, up 12%, and 10%, respectively, from the prior year quarter.
  • Solid gross margin of 60.2% and a $0.7 million reduction in total operating expenses from the prior year quarter.
  • Net loss and loss per share were approximately breakeven, a $2.2 million and $0.03 per share improvement from the prior year quarter.
  • Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, improved to $1.6 million from $0.2 million in the prior year quarter.
  • In June 2024, ChromaDex announced U.S. FDA Orphan Drug Designation and Rare Pediatric Disease Designation for nicotinamide riboside chloride, ChromaDex’s product candidate for the treatment of Ataxia Telangiectasia (AT). AT is a rare, progressive disease that typically presents in early childhood and affects the function of the nervous system, the immune system, and several other body systems. Plans are underway to file an Investigational New Drug application with the U.S. FDA in anticipation of conducting human clinical trials. If the application is approved, ChromaDex will pursue grant funding or other non-dilutive financing for the human clinical trials.
  • In June 2024, ChromaDex unveiled Niagen+, a product line featuring pharmaceutical-grade Niagen® (patented nicotinamide riboside chloride or NRC). U.S. FDA-registered 503B outsourcing facilities will compound and distribute pharmaceutical-grade Niagen®, which will be available in intravenous (IV) and injectable forms exclusively at clinics with prescription. Beginning this month, Niagen IV and injections will debut at select IV clinics. Clinical study results(1) support Niagen IV offering a 75% shorter infusion time, a higher and faster rise in NAD+ blood levels three hours post-infusion, based on dried blood spot analysis, and is well-tolerated as compared to the common alternative, NAD+ IV.
  • In July 2024, ChromaDex launched Niagen+ NAD+ Test Kits, available exclusively to healthcare practitioners. The Niagen+ NAD+ Test Kits provide a reliable method for measuring patient blood NAD+ levels, enabling practitioners to create more personalized and effective protocols using ChromaDex’s NAD+-boosting products, Tru Niagen® and Niagen+.

“We delivered solid financial results in the second quarter, with $22.7 million in revenue and lower operating expenses resulting in virtually breakeven net loss and operating cash flows, as well as positive Adjusted EBITDA of $1.6 million,” said ChromaDex Chief Executive Officer, Rob Fried. “Moreover, we are thrilled to finally unveil our new product line, Niagen+, for healthcare practitioners and clinics. This launch marks a significant milestone for ChromaDex, as we believe we are the first company to offer NR in both oral and intravenous forms, reinforcing our position as the global authority in the NAD+ market.”

Results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year quarter

ChromaDex recorded net sales of $22.7 million, an increase of 12% or $2.4 million from the prior year quarter. The growth in total net sales was primarily due to higher Tru Niagen® and Niagen® ingredient sales.

Gross margin percentage declined 60 basis points to 60.2% primarily driven by changes in business mix.

Operating expense decreased 5%, or $0.7 million, to $13.9 million driven by lower general and administrative expense, partially offset by increased investments in sales and marketing expense.

Net loss and loss per share were approximately breakeven, both up compared to a net loss of $2.2 million, or $0.03 loss per share, for the second quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, improved to $1.6 million from $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2023. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Net cash inflow from operating activities was approximately breakeven for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to a net cash inflow of $6.1 million in the prior year. The approximately $6.0 million reduction in cash provided by operating activities was largely driven by a relatively greater increase in trade receivables of $4.2 million and a greater reduction in accounts payable of $2.5 million.

2024 Full Year Outlook

Looking forward, for the full year, the Company expects between 10% - 15% revenue growth year-over-year, driven by continued revenue growth through our e-commerce business as well as established partnerships, and assumes upside from opportunities with new partnerships, channels, and products. The Company projects that gross margin will improve slightly year-over-year. Moreover, selling and marketing expense will increase in absolute dollars but remain stable as a percentage of net sales, as the Company continues to make focused investments to drive brand awareness and support new market launches, while maintaining efficiency. The Company plans to continue to invest in research and development to drive future innovation and expects general and administrative expense to be down $1.5 million year over year.

Non-GAAP Financial Information:

To supplement ChromaDex’s unaudited financial data presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company has presented Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. ChromaDex believes the presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure provides important supplemental information to management and investors and enhances the overall understanding of the Company’s historical and current financial operating performance. The Company believes disclosure of the non-GAAP financial measure has substance because the excluded expenses are infrequent in nature, are variable in nature or do not represent current cash expenditures. Further, such non-GAAP financial measure is among the indicators the Company uses as a basis for evaluating the Company’s financial performance as well as for planning and forecasting purposes. Accordingly, disclosure of this non-GAAP financial measure provides investors with the same information that management uses to understand the Company’s economic performance year-over-year.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before (a) interest, (b) depreciation, (c) amortization, (d) non-cash share-based compensation costs and (e) severance and restructuring expense. While ChromaDex believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful supplemental information to investors, there are limitations associated with the use of such measure. This measure is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in the method of calculation. Management compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on the Company’s GAAP results and by using Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally and by reviewing the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to its most comparable GAAP financial measure.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measure is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures and should be read only in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
