“We experienced double-digit growth in our core Canadian pharmaceutical business in both the third quarter and year-to-date 2020 periods as our brands showed continued resilience during this COVID-19 era,” commented Mr. René Goehrum, President and CEO of BioSyent. “Our overall sales growth was impacted during the period as a result of declines in our international pharmaceutical business and legacy business which have been negatively impacted by COVID-19. Our profit margin was impacted during the period as a result of significant re-investment in the Canadian pharmaceutical business, including product development and new product launches, as we lay the foundations for future growth. We continue to invest and make progress on a number of long-term growth initiatives, including the recent launches of Tibella® and FeraMAX® Pd Therapeutic 150, as well as the upcoming launches of Combogesic® and a new women’s health product in-licensed last month. This product launch schedule is ambitious and we look forward to reporting on the continued progress of these exciting initiatives which will significantly expand our Canadian pharmaceutical business.”
