“We recorded double-digit sales growth overall in Q1 2021 thanks to continued growth in our Canadian pharmaceutical business and the shipment during the quarter of our largest single international pharmaceutical order to date,” commented Mr. René Goehrum, President and CEO of BioSyent. “Due in part to the incremental sales generated by our new products Tibella® and Combogesic®, our Canadian pharmaceutical business delivered 5% growth against a particularly strong Q1 2020 during which we experienced a short-term surge in demand for certain products at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada. For reference, in Q1 2020 our Canadian pharmaceutical business showed 39% revenue growth versus the comparable quarter in the prior year. Our Canadian pharmaceutical business has shown remarkable resilience over the last year operating in a COVID-19 environment. Q1 2021 marked our 43rd consecutive profitable quarter, with a 22% net profit margin, even as we continued to invest in our launch-stage products. As we look to emerge from the third wave of COVID-19 in Canada, we hope to have improved access to our customers moving forward.”
