Medexus Announces Preliminary Revenue Results for Second Fiscal Quarter 2023

TORONTO and CHICAGO, Oct. 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Medexus Pharmaceuticals (Medexus) (TSX: MDP) (OTCQX: MEDXF) is pleased to announce preliminary estimates of the company’s revenue results for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022 (the company’s fiscal Q2 2023). All dollar amounts in this press release are in U.S. dollars unless specified otherwise.

Medexus expects to deliver total revenue between $27.0 million and $27.5 million in fiscal Q2 2023. This will represent the strongest fiscal quarter in Medexus’s history, and an increase of at least 51% compared to $17.9 million in fiscal Q2 2022 and an increase of at least 17% compared to $23.0 million in fiscal Q1 2023. Primary drivers for the most recent quarter’s revenue performance were organic increases in net sales across Medexus’s portfolio, which now includes recognition of 100% of revenue from Gleolan sales in the United States starting September 2022. Key highlights expected include the following –

  • IXINITY: Positive trend in sales, reflecting new patient conversions on top of a stable, existing base of patients.
  • Rasuvo: Continued strong performance, maintaining the product’s leading position in the moderately-growing U.S. branded methotrexate market with a limited sales force allocation.
  • Rupall: Continued demand growth, reflecting the peak of Canada’s allergy season during the quarter and successful execution of the company’s sales and marketing initiatives, and sustaining the product’s strong performance over the five years since launch.
  • Gleolan: Continued U.S. sales performance in line with expectations, reflecting successful execution of a seamless transition to full U.S. commercial responsibility and putting Medexus in position to successfully execute its commercial plan, including improved sales and marketing initiatives.

“We remain focused on delivering strong revenue growth and improved overall performance across our portfolio of products in both the United States and Canada, and we are very pleased with the continued strength and stability we have seen in our base business,” commented Ken d’Entremont, Chief Executive Officer of Medexus. “IXINITY sales have normalized and are now in line with patient demand. With the manufacturing improvements Medexus and our contract manufacturer have been undertaking, we continue to expect operational efficiencies going forward. We also continue to see strong performance in the rest of our portfolio, particularly Rasuvo and Rupall.”

Mr d’Entremont continued: “We have also now assumed full responsibility for commercializing Gleolan in the United States. We began shipping Medexus-labeled product to customers across the country in August, meaning that September 2022 will be the first full month, and fiscal Q3 2023 the first full fiscal quarter, in which Medexus recognizes 100% of Gleolan net sales. Gleolan sales since March 2022, when we acquired exclusive U.S. commercialization rights to the product, have been in line with our expectations, and we expect to continue that strong performance over the coming months.”

“We were pleased to extend our partnership with MidCap recently, which bolsters our liquidity position as we head into our third fiscal quarter,” added Marcel Konrad, Chief Financial Officer of Medexus. “We appreciate our lenders’ continued support as we focus on delivering strong revenue growth and improved overall performance in our business.”

The expected results discussed in this press release are preliminary estimates, as Medexus’s financial closing procedures remain subject to completion, and have not been reviewed by the company’s auditors. Accordingly, the final reported results may diverge from these estimates.
