Medicure Reports Financial Results for Quarter Ended March 31, 2020

WINNIPEG, May 12, 2020 /CNW/ - Medicure Inc. ("Medicure" or the "Company") (TSXV:MPH, OTC:MCUJF), a cardiovascular pharmaceutical company, today reported its results from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. 

Quarter Ended March 31, 2020 Highlights:

  • Recorded total net revenue from the sale of products of $3.0 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared to $4.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019;
  • Recorded total net revenue from the sale of AGGRASTAT® of $2.7 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared to $4.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019;
  • Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA1) for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 was negative $1.3 million compared to adjusted EBITDA of negative $1.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019; and
  • Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 was $1.5 million compared to net loss of $2.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

Financial Results

Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $3.0 million compared to $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.  Net revenues from AGGRASTAT® for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $2.7 million compared to $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.  ZYPITAMAGTM and SNP contributed $163,000 and $31,000, respectively during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Additionally, ReDSTM contributed net revenue of $89,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $103,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. 

The Company continues to show strong patient market share with AGGRASTAT®, however, the market share is offset by increased price competition caused by enhanced generic Integrilin competition, which resulted in lower discounted prices for AGGRASTAT® into the first quarter of 2020. There was also decreases in the volume of the product sold compared to 2019. The Company is beginning to see an increase in demand for ZYPITAMAGTM and expects growth in ZYPITAMAGTM revenues going forward.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was negative $1.3 million compared to negative $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The change in adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2020 is the result of lower selling, general and administration and research and development expenses, partially offset by lower revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2020 when compared to the same period in 2019.

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $1.5 million or $0.14 per share compared to net loss of $2.8 million or $0.18 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The change in the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2020 is the result of lower selling, general and administration and research and development expenses and a gain on foreign exchange, partially offset by lower revenues experienced during the three months ended March 31, 2020 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019.

At March 31, 2020, the Company had unrestricted cash totaling $12.7 million consistent with the $13.0 million of unrestricted cash held as of December 31, 2019. Cash flows used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 totaled $822,000 compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

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 non-cash and non-recurring items". The terms "EBITDA" and "Adjusted EBITDA", as it relates to the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 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.
