“We finished 2022 with a strong fourth quarter in our Canadian pharmaceutical business with 27% sales growth on our continuing brands over the comparative period,” commented Mr. René Goehrum, President and CEO of BioSyent. “Although we experienced some inconsistency in the sales growth of our international pharma and legacy businesses, we saw growth from across our Canadian pharma product portfolio in the fourth quarter and full year 2022, led by FeraMAX®, with launch brands Tibella® and Combogesic® contributing further growth. Q4 2022 marked BioSyent’s 50th consecutive profitable quarter and first quarterly dividend payment, even as we made significant selling and marketing investments, including certain non-recurring investments, to drive sales growth from our existing brands and to prepare for new product launches in 2023, including the recently announced launch of FeraMAX® Pd Maintenance 45 in Canada. We will continue to make investments in our strategic priorities of profitable growth and portfolio diversification in 2023 with an ongoing commitment to delivering long-term value to our shareholders.”
