Positive Q3 Results with New Campaigns Showing Encouraging Results
On November 14th AVRWannounced results for the third fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023.
Key financial highlights for the second quarter included the following:
Avenir Wellness (AVRW) net revenue in the third quarter of 2023 increased sequentially from Q2 2023 to $1.0 million but decreased year-over-year due to the delay in receiving the expected remainder of the asset sale proceeds. Sales are expected to increase during the fourth quarter and into 2024.
Gross margin for the third quarter decreased by 740 basis points to 72.6% in 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 due to a shift in sales channel mix with a higher proportion of wholesale sales to Amazon and Walmart which have benefitted in 2023 from our advertising initiatives.
SG&A expenses (excluding non-cash charges) for the third quarter decreased by $721 thousand in 2023 compared to 2022 driven by increased spend on advertising and promotion of $74 thousand, offset in part by lower overhead by $795 thousand.
Net operating loss from continuing operations (excluding non-cash charges) improved by $30 thousand in 2023. Cost reductions and operating leverage are expected to help narrow the operating loss (excluding non-cash charges) in the fourth quarter.
Avenue Wellness (AVRW) CEO Nancy Duitch stated, “Our products continue to maintain sales levels which is encouraging given that we have been unable to fully execute on our marketing initiatives pending receipt of the balance of the proceeds from the July 2022 asset sale. As mentioned in our second quarter earnings announcement, the proceeds from the July 2022 asset sale allow us to invest in the future of the Company, but the delay in receiving the balance of the proceeds continued to have an impact on our operating performance. We expect accelerating sales will reaffirm the improving overall trajectory of the business. Further, our margin expansion initiatives continue to deliver results with improvement from second quarter, and we are moving forward with our efforts to further reduce SG&A expenses and to maximize operating leverage.Fine tuning our SEO and successful monthly campaigns like theSkimm continue to deliver as we execute on our strategy to build our brands”
Operational Highlights
Avenir Wellness (AVRW) new beauty subscription program has grown sequentially by 50% quarter over quarter.
The DNA Complex hero product continues to perform as its subscription based grows.
Wholesale sales led by Amazon and Walmart continue to grow with all the positive product reviews. Amazon was a particular bright spot with volume growth despite retail price increases to match our ecommerce site which increased margins to 85%.
