First Quarter 2025 Operating Results

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net sales were $167.5 million, an increase of 0.8% compared to the prior year period. Adjusted for foreign currency effects and the impact of our decision not to pursue certain revenue streams that do not meet our minimum return criteria, organic net sales were up 2.8% compared to a year ago.

Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 53.6%, compared to 57.1% last year. Adjusted gross margin was 56.7% compared to 59.8% last year and was impacted by unfavorable pricing for our hyaluronic acid ("HA") products, which are now reported in "Corporate and Other."

Selling and general expenses as a percentage of net sales were 45.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 50.3% for the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower costs associated with restructuring, transformation and divestiture-related transition activities. On an adjusted basis, selling and general expenses as a percentage of net sales was 43.4% for the first three months of 2025, compared to 45.8% in the prior year period.

As a result, operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $10.3 million, compared to an operating income of $4.0 million in the prior year period. On an adjusted basis, operating income for the first quarter was $17.1 million compared to $16.3 million a year ago.
