MediPharm Labs Still Hits C$8.5M Despite Sequential Drop, More On That In Q3 2023 Financial Report

MediPharm Labs Corp. LABS MEDIF MLZ reported its financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2023, with a revenue of C$8.5 million. This reflects a decrease of around C$1 million sequentially but an increase of C$1.3 million over the year.

CEO David Pidduck emphasized the company's focus on margins, cost reductions and profitability, noting the strong balance sheet and improved profitability for strategic investments in revenue growth.

Q3 2023 Financial Highlights

  • Gross profit of C$2.4M or 28%, positive for the fourth consecutive quarter and the highest since Q4 2019.
  • Adjusted EBITDA improved to negative C$2.4M, a 53% improvement over the prior year and from negative C$3.2M in Q2 2023, driven by margin expansion initiatives and cost reductions.
  • Successful integration of VIVO resulted in approximately C$7M in annualized savings, with an additional restructuring in Q3 contributing about C$3M in annualized savings from Q4 2023.
  • A strong balance sheet with C$13M in cash and less than C$3 million in debt as of September 30, 2023, reflects a current cash position of approximately C$19M.

Additionally, the company settled a 'long-lasting' commercial agreement dispute receiving a total of C$9M. This includes net cash of C$7.3M collected in October, C$1M in Tilray Brands, Inc. TLRY cannabis products, and a four-year agreement where Tilray will purchase C$0.5M of MediPharm products.

Greg Hunter, CFO of MediPharm, highlighted continued progress in Q3, emphasizing improvements in gross margins, expense reduction, and reduced cash burn toward profitability.
