“Our access to healthcare professionals improved during Q2 2022 as our expanded field salesforce had more opportunities for in-person engagement with these professionals during the quarter than since the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020,” commented Mr. René Goehrum, President and CEO of BioSyent. “This improved access benefited our launch brands, Tibella® and Combogesic® in particular, which both posted double-digit unit sales growth during the quarter. Overall, our Canadian pharmaceutical sales from continuing brands grew marginally during the quarter (excluding the discontinued Aguettant System® and Cysview® brands), with some inventory rebalancing at the wholesale level for certain products in the comparative quarter. Q2 2022 marked BioSyent’s 48th consecutive profitable quarter with a healthy net profit margin of 18%, improving from the comparative period on changes in product mix as well as certain non-recurring launch-related promotional expenditures incurred in Q2 2021. Our track record of growth and 12 consecutive years of profitability gives us confidence in our ability to return capital to shareholders.”
