(NASDAQ:CDXC) today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2022. Second Quarter 2022 and Recent Highlights Total net sales were $16.7 million, with $14.5 million from Tru Niagen®, down 5% and 6% from the prior year period, respectively. Total net sales and Tru Niagen® net sales remained relatively flat year over year excluding the initial shelf stocking sales to Wal-Mart in the second quarter of 2021. Sales were also impacted by the timing of shipments to Watson's due to COVID-19 ($1.5 million versus $2.9 million in the prior year period). Strong gross margin of 60% despite lower sales and inflationary pressures in global supply chains. General and administrative expense decreased $2.0 million from the prior year quarter driven by lower legal expense. Announced agreement to launch commercial joint venture in Mainland China, marking an expansion milestone for the brand in a strategic market. Signed agreement with Sinopharm Xingsha to accelerate cross-border sales of Tru Niagen®. Partnered with Juvenis for cross-border sales of Tru Niagen® into South Korea, furthering Asia expansion strategy. In May 2022, the ChromaDex External Research Program (CERP) was honored in the “Nutrition Research Project” category for pioneering research behind Niagen®. “Our team is doing great work in a challenging environment,” said CEO Rob Fried. “The e-commerce business continues to grow, and we are excited about our new partnerships in China and South Korea. We are placing greater emphasis on operating efficiency and profitable growth in the second half of the year.” Results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year quarter For the three months ended June 30, 2022 (“Q2 2022”), ChromaDex reported net sales of $16.7 million, a decrease $1.0 million or (5)% compared to the second quarter of 2021 (“Q2 2021”). The decline in Q2 2022 revenues compared to Q2 2021 was related to the initial shelf stocking in Wal-Mart to support our launch in the prior quarter driving increased sales in Q2 2021, paired with lower sales to A.S. Watson, a related party, during Q2 2022, which was impacted by timing of shipments due to COVID-19. These declines were largely offset by growth in e-commerce sales of Tru Niagen®. Gross margin percentage declined to 60.0% in Q2 2022 compared to 61.1% in Q2 2021 primarily due to business mix and increases in supply chain headcount to scale the business. Operating expense was flat at $16.4 million in Q2 2022, compared to $16.4 million in Q2 2021. For operating expense, there was a $2.0 million decrease in general and administrative expense which was largely offset by $1.8 million of higher selling and marketing expense. The increase in selling and marketing expense was related to brand building activities, including the new Tru Niagen® television campaign. We expect to scale back our larger brand campaigns in the second half of 2022, as we shift our focus to more efficient distribution channels, primarily e-commerce, coupled with overall expense management. The net loss for Q2 2022 was $6.4 million or $(0.09) per share compared to a net loss of $5.6 million or $(0.08) per share for Q2 2021. Adjusted EBITDA including legal expense, a non-GAAP measure, delivered a loss of $4.6 million for Q2 2022, a $1.1 million decline from Q2 2021. Adjusted EBITDA excluding legal expense, a non-GAAP measure, was a loss of $2.9 million for Q2 2022. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. For Q2 2022, net cash outflow from operating activities was $3.8 million, compared to $7.9 million in Q2 2021 largely due to changes in working capital including improvements in the collections of trade receivables. 2022 Full Year Outlook Looking forward, for the full year, the Company expects high single digit revenue growth, driven by its global e-commerce business, offset by slower growth with new, and existing, partners. For the full year, the Company expects approximately 60% gross margin, selling and marketing expense will be down as a percentage of net sales, approximately $1 million increase in R&D, and approximately $6 to 7 million decrease in general and administrative expense, as reported, driven by lower legal expense. The Company expects to approach cash flow break-even in the third quarter and be cash flow break-even or better in the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company considers Adjusted EBITDA including legal expense, a non-GAAP metric, to be a proxy for cash flow before working capital investments, and is targeting cash flow break-even on that basis.

ChromaDex believes the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures 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 non-GAAP financial measures has substance because the excluded expenses are infrequent in nature, are variable in nature or do not represent current cash expenditures. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures are 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 these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with the same information that management uses to understand the Company’s economic performance year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA including legal expense and Adjusted EBITDA excluding legal expense are defined as net income before (a) interest, (b) depreciation, (c) amortization, (d) non-cash share-based compensation costs, (e) severance and restructuring expense and (f) legal expense (in the case of Adjusted EBITDA excluding legal expenses only). While ChromaDex believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors, there are limitations associated with the use of these measures. These measures are 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 including legal expense and Adjusted EBITDA excluding expense 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 in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures are 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.

ChromaDex believes the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures 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 non-GAAP financial measures has substance because the excluded expenses are infrequent in nature, are variable in nature or do not represent current cash expenditures. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures are 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 these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with the same information that management uses to understand the Company’s economic performance year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA including legal expense and Adjusted EBITDA excluding legal expense are defined as net income before (a) interest, (b) depreciation, (c) amortization, (d) non-cash share-based compensation costs, (e) severance and restructuring expense and (f) legal expense (in the case of Adjusted EBITDA excluding legal expenses only). While ChromaDex believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors, there are limitations associated with the use of these measures. These measures are 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 including legal expense and Adjusted EBITDA excluding expense only supplementally and by reviewing the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to its most comparable GAAP financial measure.

Total net sales of $16.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 with $14.5 million from Tru Niagen® and gross margin of 60.0% for the quarter
ChromaDex Corp. (NASDAQ:CDXC) today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2022. Second Quarter 2022 and Recent Highlights Total net sales were $16.7 million, with $14.5 million from Tru Niagen®, down 5% and 6% from the prior year period, respectively. Total net sales and Tru Niagen® net sales remained relatively flat year over year excluding the initial shelf stocking sales to Wal-Mart in the second quarter of 2021. Sales were also impacted by the timing of shipments to Watson's due to COVID-19 ($1.5 million versus $2.9 million in the prior year period). Strong gross margin of 60% despite lower sales and inflationary pressures in global supply chains. General and administrative expense decreased $2.0 million from the prior year quarter driven by lower legal expense. Announced agreement to launch commercial joint venture in Mainland China, marking an expansion milestone for the brand in a strategic market. Signed agreement with Sinopharm Xingsha to accelerate cross-border sales of Tru Niagen®. Partnered with Juvenis for cross-border sales of Tru Niagen® into South Korea, furthering Asia expansion strategy. In May 2022, the ChromaDex External Research Program (CERP) was honored in the “Nutrition Research Project” category for pioneering research behind Niagen®. “Our team is doing great work in a challenging environment,” said CEO Rob Fried. “The e-commerce business continues to grow, and we are excited about our new partnerships in China and South Korea. We are placing greater emphasis on operating efficiency and profitable growth in the second half of the year.” Results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year quarter For the three months ended June 30, 2022 (“Q2 2022”), ChromaDex reported net sales of $16.7 million, a decrease $1.0 million or (5)% compared to the second quarter of 2021 (“Q2 2021”). The decline in Q2 2022 revenues compared to Q2 2021 was related to the initial shelf stocking in Wal-Mart to support our launch in the prior quarter driving increased sales in Q2 2021, paired with lower sales to A.S. Watson, a related party, during Q2 2022, which was impacted by timing of shipments due to COVID-19. These declines were largely offset by growth in e-commerce sales of Tru Niagen®. Gross margin percentage declined to 60.0% in Q2 2022 compared to 61.1% in Q2 2021 primarily due to business mix and increases in supply chain headcount to scale the business. Operating expense was flat at $16.4 million in Q2 2022, compared to $16.4 million in Q2 2021. For operating expense, there was a $2.0 million decrease in general and administrative expense which was largely offset by $1.8 million of higher selling and marketing expense. The increase in selling and marketing expense was related to brand building activities, including the new Tru Niagen® television campaign. We expect to scale back our larger brand campaigns in the second half of 2022, as we shift our focus to more efficient distribution channels, primarily e-commerce, coupled with overall expense management. The net loss for Q2 2022 was $6.4 million or $(0.09) per share compared to a net loss of $5.6 million or $(0.08) per share for Q2 2021. Adjusted EBITDA including legal expense, a non-GAAP measure, delivered a loss of $4.6 million for Q2 2022, a $1.1 million decline from Q2 2021. Adjusted EBITDA excluding legal expense, a non-GAAP measure, was a loss of $2.9 million for Q2 2022. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. For Q2 2022, net cash outflow from operating activities was $3.8 million, compared to $7.9 million in Q2 2021 largely due to changes in working capital including improvements in the collections of trade receivables. 2022 Full Year Outlook Looking forward, for the full year, the Company expects high single digit revenue growth, driven by its global e-commerce business, offset by slower growth with new, and existing, partners. For the full year, the Company expects approximately 60% gross margin, selling and marketing expense will be down as a percentage of net sales, approximately $1 million increase in R&D, and approximately $6 to 7 million decrease in general and administrative expense, as reported, driven by lower legal expense. The Company expects to approach cash flow break-even in the third quarter and be cash flow break-even or better in the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company considers Adjusted EBITDA including legal expense, a non-GAAP metric, to be a proxy for cash flow before working capital investments, and is targeting cash flow break-even on that basis.
