“We reported our highest ever Canadian pharmaceutical sales in Q4 2023 with 10% growth over the prior period, driven by our established products,” commented Mr. René Goehrum, President and CEO of BioSyent. During Q4 2023, we also commenced distribution of the new Gelclair® oncology supportive care product in Canada. Gelclair® was our third new product launch in Canada in 2023, preceded by Inofolic® in the third quarter, and FeraMAX® Pd Maintenance 45 in the first quarter. Although we incurred incremental selling and marketing expenses associated with these three launch products during 2023, our net profit margin of 20% for the year was consistent with 2022. As we continued to execute and invest in our strategic priorities of profitable long-term growth and product portfolio diversification during 2023, we are also proud to have concurrently returned nearly $5 million in capital to our shareholders during the year through both regular quarterly dividends and ongoing share buybacks. I look forward to reporting on our continued progress towards our strategic priorities during 2024.”
