August 17 , 2026 NEXGEL advanced hydrogel solutions NEXGEL Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results LANGHORNE , Pa . , Aug. 17 , 2026 ( GLOBE NEWSWIRE ) -- NEXGEL , Inc. ( " NEXGEL " or the " Company " ) ( NASDAQ : “ NXGL " ) , a leading provider of healthcare , beauty , and over - the- counter ( OTC ) products including ultra - gentle , high - water - content hydrogel products for healthcare and consumer applications , today announced its second quarter 2026 financial results for the period ending June 30 , 2026 . The second quarter of 2026 was a period of significant transformation and preparation for NexGel . Following the completion of our transaction with Celularity , Inc. in mid - April , the Company focused on transitioning employees , integrating sales representatives and customer relationships , and aligning our marketing , operations , and branding efforts around the newly formed BioNX Surgical division . These initiatives were designed to support commercial growth , strengthen customer engagement , and advance our strategic partnership with Sequence Life Science , Inc. While progress has been made , our rollout initiatives and expansion into the surgical channel have occurred at a slower pace than originally anticipated . On August 4 , Sequence deployed several tissue processing specialists to Celularity's New Jersey facility as part of our previously announced plan to transfer manufacturing technology and future production capabilities to Sequence's facility in San Antonio , Texas . This initiative was established at the outset of the acquisition to address known long - term supply chain constraints and improve manufacturing scalability . While meaningful progress has been made , these supply chain challenges have continued to impact product availability and have contributed to a current BioNX Surgical backlog of approximately $ 795,000 . Q2 revenue totaled $ 3.69 million , with a net loss of $ 2.87 million . The reported loss included several non - recurring or non - cash items , including $ 756,554 of BioNX intangible asset amortization , $ 273,710 of one - time transaction - related expenses , and $ 144,495 associated with the strategic recall of all SilverSeal inventory from Amazon . The SilverSeal inventory recall was undertaken to support the product's launch into the hospital market beginning in August . SilverSeal already has established reimbursement A- codes , providing coverage opportunities for both surgical and wound care applications in physician offices , ambulatory surgery centers ( ASCs ) , and hospital settings . Management believes the hospital channel represents a significant growth opportunity , with the potential to drive increased sales volume while generating higher gross margins than current distribution channels . In addition , the Company recently launched BioNX Regenerative Eye Health & Aesthetics , a new commercial initiative focused on ocular and aesthetic applications . The platform includes exclusively licensed products from Sequence and is designed to expand BioNX's presence
