WINNIPEG, MB, Nov. 24, 2022 /CNW/ - Medicure Inc. ("Medicure" or the "Company") (TSXV: MPH) (OTC: MCUJF), a company focused on the development and commercialization of pharmaceuticals and healthcare products for patients and prescribers in the United States market, today reported its results from operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

  • Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA1) for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 was $1.4 million compared to adjusted EBITDA of $282,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 and;
  • Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 was $1.1 million or $0.11 per share compared to a net loss of $946,000 or $0.09 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Financial Results

The increase in AGGRASTAT® revenue when compared to the same period in the previous year, as described above, is the result of improvements in inventory and contract management, partially offset by a decrease in volume sold.

ZYPITAMAG® contributed $434,000 of revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to $388,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The increase in revenue is primarily a result of increased sales to insured customers and improved patient access and fill rate through Medicure's subsidiary, Marley Drug, which also resulted in reduced fees to wholesalers and pharmacy benefit managers.

The Marley Drug business contributed $1.8 million of revenue during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to $1.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The increase in revenue is primarily due to increased sales through Marley Drug's E-commerce platform. 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 has proven success in marketing based on accessible pricing of generic drugs and a focus on cash price without use of insurance. It provides another channel for direct-to-consumer marketing, distribution and improved profit margin for ZYPITAMAG.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $1.4 million compared to $282,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2022 is the result of increased revenue from ZYPITAMAG and Marley Drug, and decreased research and development costs and cost of goods sold, primarily due to the prospective change applied to the amortization of the license associated with ZYPITAMAG, when compared to the same period in 2021.

Net Income for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $1.1 million or $0.11 per share compared to a net loss of $946,000 or $0.09 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The main factors contributing to the increase in net income recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were increased revenue from ZYPITAMAG and Marley Drug and revaluation of the contingent consideration related to the Marley Drug acquisition, and decreased research and development costs and cost of goods sold, primarily due to the prospective change applied to the amortization of the license associated with ZYPITAMAG, when compared to the same period in 2021.

At September 30, 2022, the Company had unrestricted cash totaling $4.5 million, compared to $3.3 million of unrestricted cash held as of September 30, 2021. Cash flows from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $1.3 million compared to $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The Company does not have any long-term debt recorded in its consolidated financial statements as at September 30, 2022.

All amounts referenced herein are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.

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 nonâ€'cash and non-recurring items". The terms "EBITDA" and "Adjusted EBITDA", as it relates to the three months ended September 30, 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.
