Financial Results

The modest decrease in AGGRASTAT® revenues when compared to the same period in the previous year, as described above, is the result of a decrease in the volume of AGGRASTAT® sold in 2023 when compared to 2022, in conjunction with an increase in wholesaler fees.

ZYPITAMAG® contributed $722,000 of revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared to $1.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in revenue through insured channels is primarily as a result of increased fees to wholesalers and pharmacy benefit managers. This amount does not include sales of ZYPITAMAG through the Marley Drug business.

The Marley Drug business contributed $2.7 million of revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared to $1.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. Marley Drug is a US pharmacy licensed to ship medications to all 50 states, Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico. It serves thousands of customers and provides another channel for direct-to-consumer marketing, distribution and improved profit margin for ZYPITAMAG. The increase in revenue is a result of increased sales through its e-commerce platform, including increased sales of ZYPITAMAG.

Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was $948,000 compared to negative $210,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. Increased adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 resulted from increased Marley Drug revenue and reduced research and development expenses, offset by lower revenues from the product sales of AGGRASTAT and ZYPITAMAG through insured channels.

Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was $253,000 or $0.02 per share compared to net loss of $683,000 or $0.06 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The main factors contributing to the increase in net income recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 were increased Marley Drug revenue and reduced research and development expenses, offset by lower revenues from the product sales of AGGRASTAT and ZYPITAMAG through insured channels.

At June 30, 2023, the Company had unrestricted cash totaling $5.4 million, an increase from $4.9 million of unrestricted cash held as of December 31, 2022. Cash flows from operating activities for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was $766,000 compared to cash flows from operating activities of $1.4 million for the period ended June 30, 2022.

Notes

  1. The Company defines EBITDA as "earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other income or expense" and Adjusted EBITDA as "EBITDA adjusted for non‑cash and non-recurring items". The terms "EBITDA" and "Adjusted EBITDA", as it relates to the three months and year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 results prepared using IFRS, do not have any standardized meaning according to IFRS. It is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
