Mr. René Goehrum, President and CEO of BioSyent, commented, “We experienced accelerated sales volumes in our Canadian pharmaceutical business in late March 2020 due to forward inventory purchasing by wholesalers and pharmacies prompted by COVID-19 uncertainty. As a result of this inventory accumulation in late March, sales volumes declined significantly in the month of April 2020 as trade inventory levels were rebalanced by our customers. We observed a normalization in sales volumes in our Canadian pharmaceutical business in the months of May and June 2020 such that on a year-to-date basis, sales growth was 14% for the first half of 2020 over the first half of 2019.”
Mr. Goehrum continued, “In spite of the challenging business environment brought on by COVID-19, Q2 2020 marked BioSyent’s 40th consecutive profitable quarter. Our business remained profitable in every month of Q2 2020 with our brands showing resilience through the challenges of COVID-19. While our existing Canadian pharmaceutical business stabilized during the quarter, we also continued launch preparations and investments for the new Tibella® women’s health product and Combogesic® pain management product. We are excited to have successfully launched Tibella® in July 2020 with the product available for the first time to women across Canada. We look forward to reporting on the progress of Tibella® in the market as well as our ongoing launch preparations for Combogesic®.”
