Financial Results
AGGRASTAT® revenues have remained consistent when compared to the same period in the previous year, as described above, despite competition from generic tirofiban hydrochloride.
The Marley Drug business contributed $3.1 million of revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 compared to $2.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Marley Drug is a US pharmacy licensed to ship medications to all 50 states, Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico. The increase in revenue is due to a higher volume of product sold, including increased sales of ZYPITAMAG® and BRENZAVVY® through both the online e-commerce platform and the legacy mail-order business, offset by lower sales of certain generic pharmaceutical products.
ZYPITAMAG® through insured channels contributed $751,000 of revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 compared to $654,000 through insured channels for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The increase in revenues in 2025 can be attributed to changes in insurance coverage and formularies and increased utilization of the product through insurance formularies, specifically Medicare Part D.
Revenue through Gateway Pharmacy during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 was $764,000. Revenue through West Olympia Pharmacy during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 was $328,000. The revenue recorded through West Olympia Pharmacy during the current quarter was from sales made during the period June 16, 2025 to June 30, 2025. Both Gateway Pharmacy and West Olympia Pharmacy were acquired during the current year, and as a result, the Company did not earn any revenue through these pharmacies during the prior year. The Company intends on offering ZYPITAMAG® through these two pharmacies in subsequent quarters in addition to other product offerings which have increased revenue at Marley Drug.
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 was negative $28,000 compared to negative $514,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The increase in adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 resulted from an increase in revenue through Marley Drug, Gateway Pharmacy and West Olympia Pharmacy and ZYPITAMAG®, a decrease in general and administrative expenses as a result of lower professional fees incurred and a decrease in research and development expenses, offset by a decrease in AGGRASTAT® revenue, higher cost of goods sold through Marley Drug and higher selling expenses through the retail pharmacy operating segment.
Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 was $786,000 or $0.08 per share compared to a net loss of $1.2 million or $0.12 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The main factors contributing to the change in net loss recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 were an increase in revenue through Marley Drug, Gateway Pharmacy and West Olympia Pharmacy and ZYPITAMAG®, a decrease in general and administrative expenses and a decrease in research and development expenses, offset by a decrease in AGGRASTAT® revenue, higher cost of goods sold through Marley Drug and higher selling expenses through the retail pharmacy operating segment.
At June 30, 2025, the Company had unrestricted cash totaling $4.7 million, a decrease from $7.2 million of unrestricted cash held as of December 31, 2024. Cash flows used in operating activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2025 was $73,000 compared to cash used in operating activities of $162,000 for the period ended June 30, 2024. Cash used in investing activities for the period ended June 30, 2025 was $2.2 million compared to $191,000 for the period ended June 30, 2024. The cash used in investing activities for the period ended June 30, 2025 related to the Company's acquisitions of Gateway Pharmacy and West Olympia Pharmacy during the current year.
All amounts referenced herein are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.
