WINNIPEG, MB / ACCESSWIRE / April 6, 2023 / Medicure Inc. ("Medicure" or the "Company") (TSXV:MPH) (OTC PINK: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 and year ended December 31, 2022.
Quarter and Year Ended December 31, 2022 Highlights:
Financial Results
The increase in AGGRASTAT® revenues when compared to the same period in the previous year, as described above, is the result of increases in the volume of AGGRASTAT® sold in 2022 when compared to 2021, in conjunction to improvements in inventory and contract management.
ZYPITAMAG® contributed $3.6 million of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in revenue is primarily as a result of uptake through covered plans and improved patient access and fill rate through Medicure's subsidiary Marley Drug, which also results in reduced fees to wholesalers and pharmacy benefit managers.
The Marley Drug business, acquired on December 17, 2020, contributed $7.8 million of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $6.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. 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 provides another channel for direct-to-consumer marketing, distribution and improved profit margin for ZYPITAMAG. The increase in revenue is a result of marketing efforts to grow the customer base and sales through the newly launched E-commerce website.
Sodium nitroprusside did not contribute any revenue during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $59,000 of revenue during the year ended December 31, 2021, and as a result the company has put a marketing hold on this product due to poor commercial viability.
Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $3.3 million compared to $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Increased adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2022 resulted from increased revenues from the sale of AGGRASTAT, ZYPITAMAG and increased sales through Marley Drug. In addition, the prospective change to the amortization of the ZYPITAMAG intangible asset during the fourth quarter of 2021, resulted in lower cost of goods sold during the current year. Offsetting the increase in the current year, was an increase in research and development expenses.
Net income for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $1.4 million or $0.13 per share compared to a net loss of $727,000 or $0.07 per share for the year ended December 31, 2021. The main factors contributing to the increase in net income recorded for the year ended December 31, 2022 were the increased revenues from AGGRASTAT, ZYPITAMAG and Marley Drug, a decrease in cost of goods sold as a result of improved inventory management, partially offset by increased research and development expenses primarily due to timing of research and development projects the Company is undertaking.
At December 31, 2022, the Company had unrestricted cash totaling $4.9 million, up from $3.7 million of unrestricted cash held as of December 31, 2021. Cash flows from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2022 totaled $1.8 million compared to $4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.
All amounts referenced herein are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.
The Company plans to hold an investor conference call in May 2022 to present the results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 with date and dial in information to be provided. The full financial statements are available at www.sedar.com and on the Company's website at www.medicure.com.
