Medicure Reports Financial Results for
Quarter Ended June 30, 2019
WINNIPEG, Aug. 8, 2019 /CNW/ - Medicure
Inc. ("Medicure" or the "Company") (TSXV:MPH, OTC:MCUJF), a pharmaceutical company, today reported
its results from operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.
Quarter Ended June 30, 2019 Highlights:
- Recorded net revenue from the sale of AGGRASTAT®
(tirofiban hydrochloride) of $6.2 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 compared to $7.2 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 2018 and $4.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019;
- $45.7 million in cash as at June 30, 2019;
- Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization (EBITDA1) for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 was $103,000 compared to adjusted EBITDA of $882,000
for the quarter ended June 30, 2018; and
- Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 was $957,000
(of which, $813,000 was due to a loss from foreign exchange) compared to net income of $1.6 million for the quarter ended June
30, 2018.
Financial Results
Net revenues for the three months ended June
30, 2019 were $6.3 million compared to $7.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Net revenues from AGGRASTAT®
for the three months ended June 30, 2019 were $6.2 million compared to $7.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018.
Additionally, ReDSTM point of care system ("ReDSTM"), contributed $51,000 of net revenue for the
three months ended June 30, 2019 and the three months ended June 30, 2018 contained $606,000 of revenue from ZYPITAMAGTM
following the launch of the product in the period.
Net revenues for the six months ended June
30, 2019 were $11.2 million compared to $13.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Net revenues from AGGRASTAT®
for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were $11.0 million compared to $13.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Additionally, ReDSTM, contributed $154,000 of net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and the six months
ended June 30, 2018 contained $606,000 of revenue from ZYPITAMAGTM following the launch of the product in the period.
The Company continued to experience strong
patient market share and strong hospital demand for AGGRASTAT® during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019,
however increases in volume compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were offset by increased price competition
that resulted in lower discounted prices for AGGRASTAT® throughout the quarter.
Diversification of revenues remains an important
aspect of the Company's focus with Medicure concentrating on the sales and marketing of AGGRASTAT®, growing the
sales of ZYPITAMAGTM (pitavastatin) and marketing the ReDSTM system.
Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended
June 30, 2019 was $103,000 compared to $882,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA for the
three months ended June 30, 2019 is the result of the lower revenues experienced during the quarter ended June 30, 2019.
Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June
30, 2019 was negative $1.6 million compared to $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA
for the six months ended June 30, 2019 is the result of lower revenues and higher selling costs, as a result of the increase in
the Company's product portfolio, experienced during the quarter ended June 30, 2019.
Net loss for the three months ended June 30,
2019 was $957,000 or $0.06 per share. This compares to net income of $1.6 million or $0.10 per share for the three months ended
June 30, 2018. Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2019 is the result of lower revenues experienced during the quarter
and a foreign exchange loss relating to a decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar experienced during the quarter ended June 30,
2019.
Net loss for the six months ended June 30,
2019 was $3.7 million or $0.24 per share. This compares to net income of $3.0 million or $0.19 per share for the six months ended
June 30, 2018. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2019 is the result of lower revenues, higher selling costs and cost of
goods sold experienced during the period and a foreign exchange loss relating to a decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar experienced
during the six months ended June 30, 2019.
At June 30, 2019, the Company had unrestricted
cash totaling $45.7 million compared to $71.9 million of cash and short-term investments as of December 31, 2018. The decrease
in cash is primarily due to the investment of U.S. $10 million made in Sensible Medical Innovations Ltd., the purchase of $3.6
million of the Company's common shares under its normal course issuer bid, a significant reduction in the Company's accounts payable
and accrued liabilities and a decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar as at June 30, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018. Cash
flows used in operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2019 totaled $7.1 million.
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 and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 results prepared using International Financial Reporting Standards
("IFRS"), do not have any standardized meaning according to IFRS. It is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar
measures presented by other companies.
