Financial Highlights
(all amounts are in Canadian dollars)
- Distribution revenues for the fourth quarter were $1.3 million, down 87% year over year. This decrease is mainly related to the previously announced expiration of the distribution agreement for Dexlansoprazole in April 2025 which related to the subsidiary Altius Healthcare Group LP ("Altius") distribution business. For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025, distribution revenues were $23.6 million, up 22% year over year. Dexlansoprazole represented 93% of the distribution revenues.
- For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025, research and development expenses were $2 million, up 55.8% year over year. This increase is mainly driven by the preparation of the Thykamine™ pediatric Atopic Dermatitis phase 2/3 clinical study as well as the preclinical studies to support new applications.
- Net loss for the fourth quarter was $0.375 million, or $0.003 loss per share, as compared to a year-ago quarterly net income of $0.75 million, or $0.003 earnings per share. The decrease in net income is mainly related to the lower gross margin net of income taxes from the Altius products distribution business partly compensated by lower Selling and Administrative expenses.
- For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025, net loss was $6 million or $0.041 per share, as compared to a $1.83 million net loss or $0.012 per share for the same period last year. The year over year increase in net loss is mainly related to a non-cash, one-time, goodwill impairment loss of $4.6 million and an impairment of intellectual property of $0.2 million both directly related to the Altius products distribution business.
- The Corporation is debt free after the repayment of its long-term debt of $2.2 million during the fiscal year ended July 31,2025.
- Cash and cash equivalents as of July 31, 2025, was $7 million, with no debt, as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $9.9 million and debt of $2.08 million at the beginning of the fiscal year.
