Management Comments

“This has been a breakout quarter for Devonian,” said Luc Gregoire, President and CEO of Devonian. “While continuing our scientific activities for the continued development of Thykamine for atopic dermatitis (eczema), our quarter was highlighted by a 1,162% revenue growth at Altius, providing significant financial support to our ongoing operations.”

Business Highlights

• Altius Health Care Inc. (“Altius”), the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, saw a significant uptake on its recently-launched DEXLANSOPRAZOLE, the only authorized generic formulation of that pharmaceutical drug in the Canadian market for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
  
• The Company continued to progress its preparation for its planned phase II/III clinical study for Thykamine^TM in the treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (eczema) in pediatric patients, including preparatory work in the batch qualifications of the product to be used in our clinical studies.
  
• The board of directors appointed André Boulet, Company founder, to Chairman of the Board, and added the Chief Operator Officer role to his existing Chief Scientific Officer role, to help facilitate the necessary integration of all facets of our research and production scaling activities.

Financial Highlights

• Distribution revenue for the third quarter was $5.13 million, up 1,162% year over year, driven by the DEXLANSOPRAZOLE launch near the end of the previous quarter. For the 9-month year-to date period, distribution revenue was $8.68 million, up 583 % year over year.
  
• Net loss for the quarter was $0.374 million, or $0.002 per share, improving against the year-ago quarterly loss of $1.5 million, or $0.01 per share. For the 9-month year-to-date period, net loss was $2.306 million or $0.02 per share, as compared to a $3.736 million net loss, or $0.03 per share for the same period last year.
  
• Cash on April 30, 2024, was $3.5 million, with debt of $2.16 million, as compared to cash of $5.1 million and long-term debts of $3.6 million at the beginning of the year.
  
• Liquidity was improved through the closing on February 23, 2024, of a one-year term loan of $2.16 million, and the closing on March 13, 2024, of a private placement offering of $223,800.
