Financial Results

The decrease in AGGRASTAT revenues when compared to the same period in the previous year, as described above, is the result of an increase in pricing competition from generic tirofiban hydrochloride in 2024 when compared to 2023. However, the number of hospital customers using AGGRASTAT continues to remain strong and the Company continues to work on maintaining its customer base and recovering any lost business.

The Marley Drug business contributed $2.7 million of revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to $2.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. Marley Drug is a US pharmacy licensed to ship medications to all 50 states, Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico. The pharmacy business has undergone a change in its product focus mix since the prior year towards fulfillment partnerships, its e-commerce platform, and increased sales of ZYPITAMAG.

ZYPITAMAG through insured channels contributed $553,000 of revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to $398,000 through insured channels for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The increase in revenues in 2024 is due to increased volume of sales to drug wholesalers.

Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 was negative $467,000 compared to $429,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. Decreased adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 resulted from higher Marley Drug cost of goods, lower AGGRASTAT revenue, as well as higher research and development expenses and general and administrative expenses, offset by a decrease in selling expenses and higher ZYPITAMAG sales through both the traditional insured channel and the Marley Drug pharmacy business.

Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 was $680,000 or $0.07 per share compared to net income of $84,000 or $0.01 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The main factors contributing to the increase in net income recorded for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 were an increase in other income, a decrease in selling expenses and higher ZYPITAMAG sales through both the traditional insured channel and the Marley Drug pharmacy business, offset by higher Marley Drug cost of goods, lower AGGRASTAT revenue, as well as higher research and development expenses and general and administrative expenses.

At September 30, 2024, the Company had unrestricted cash totaling $4.9 million, a decrease from $6.4 million of unrestricted cash held as of December 31, 2023. Cash flows used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $932,000 compared to cash from operating activities of $1.2 million for the period ended September 30, 2023.
