United-Guardian Reports Second Quarter Results
HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., Aug. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- United-Guardian, Inc. (NASDAQ:UG) announced today the financial results for the second quarter and first half of 2025. Second quarter net sales decreased from $3,390,205 in 2024 to $2,838,225 in 2025, with net income decreasing from $956,225 ($0.21 per share) to $626,826 ($0.14 per share). As compared with the first quarter of 2025, the second quarter net sales increased by 14% and net income increased by 12%. Net sales for the six-month period ended June 30th decreased from $6,645,149 in 2024 to $5,319,352 in 2025 and net income decreased from $1,881,667 ($0.41 per share) to $1,187,721 ($0.26 per share).
Donna Vigilante, President of United-Guardian, stated, “Sales of our pharmaceuticals and medical lubricants both increased for the first half of 2025 compared with the same period in 2024. Sales of our medical lubricants increased by 12% and pharmaceutical product sales increased by 11% in the first six months of 2025 compared with the same period in 2024. Those increases were offset by a decrease of sales of our cosmetic ingredients in the first six months of 2025 compared with the same period in 2024. This decrease was attributable to reduced purchases by Ashland Specialty Ingredients (“ASI”), our largest cosmetic distributor. The primary reason for the decrease in purchases by ASI was softer demand in Asia, which resulted in an inventory overstock situation that ASI had to work down before it could increase its purchases. We are working closely with ASI and are hopeful that cosmetic sales will improve in the second half of the year as this overstock situation is resolved. We are also initiating a new project to have Renacidin®, our most important pharmaceutical product, included in additional drug formularies. If this project is successful, we should be able to significantly increase sales of Renacidin over the coming years.”
United-Guardian is a manufacturer of cosmetic ingredients, pharmaceuticals, medical lubricants, and sexual wellness ingredients.
