Medicure Reports Financial Results for Quarter Ended March 31, 2021

WINNIPEG, May 10, 2021 /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 March 31, 2021. 

Quarter Ended March 31, 2021 Highlights:

  • Recorded total net revenue of $4.9 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 compared to $3.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and;
  • Recorded total net revenue from the sale of AGGRASTAT® of $2.6 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 compared to $2.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and;
  • Diversified product portfolio with revenues from the Marley Drug business of $2.1 million and ZYPITAMAG® revenues of $161,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and;
  • Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA1) for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was $31,000 compared to adjusted EBITDA of negative $1.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and;
  • Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was $1.0 million compared to $1.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Financial Results

AGGRASTAT® revenues were consistent when compared to the same period in the previous year. The Company continues to maintain the majority of patient market share in the GPI IIb/IIIa drug class.

ZYPITAMAG® contributed $161,000 of revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 compared to $163,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The Company continues to pursue innovative marketing strategies to grow the usage of the product.

The Marley Drug business, acquired on December 17, 2020, contributed $2.1 million of revenue to the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Marley provides excellent customer service, cost competitive medications, expedited direct to patient delivery, and is licensed in 49 states, Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico. Its advanced operating systems include automated pill dispensing, an extended supply generic drug program, and an effective customer communication system. Marley has been successful in marketing directly to customers, providing access to medications without the need for insurance, and building a nationwide customer base.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $31,000 compared to negative $1.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The improvement in adjusted EBITDA experienced in 2021 is the result of increased revenues, primarily from the acquisition of Marley Drug, partially offset by higher selling expenses primarily related to the operation of the Marley Drug business.

Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was $1.0 million or $0.10 per share compared to net loss of $1.5 million or $0.14 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The main factors contributing to the decrease in the net loss recorded for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 were the increased revenues, partially offset by higher selling expenses as noted above.

At March 31, 2021, the Company had unrestricted cash totaling $2.9 million, compared to $2.7 million of unrestricted cash held as of December 31, 2020. The Company is in the process of obtaining debt financing from a commercial bank to replenish its cash balance following the Marley Drug acquisition in December 2020. Cash from operating activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 totaled $224,000 compared to cash used in operating activities of $822,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

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, 2021 and 2020 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.
