Financial Results
Net AGGRASTAT product sales for the year ended December 31, 2025, were $5.7 million compared to $8.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in AGGRASTAT revenues compared to the previous year is the result of a decrease in the volume of AGGRASTAT sold and pricing competition from generic tirofiban.
Marley Drug recorded net revenue of $12.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to net revenue of $10.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2024.The pharmacy business continues to focus on diversifying its revenue by securing exclusive product offerings and partnerships, which helped contribute to the increase in revenue during the current year. Offsetting the increase in revenue is a decline in reimbursements from pharmacy benefit managers which only impacts insured prescription sales. Going forward, the focus of Marley Drug is to continue growing its sales of ZYPITAMAG® and increasing its exclusive product offerings and business partnerships.
Gateway Pharmacy contributed $2.8 million of net revenue during the current year. Given Gateway Pharmacy was acquired during the current year, the Company did not record any net revenue in relation to the business during the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company started offering ZYPITAMAG® through the pharmacy during the current year and intends on adding additional product offerings throughout 2026.
West Olympia Pharmacy contributed $4.7 million of net revenue during the year ended December 31, 2025. Given West OIympia Pharmacy was acquired during the current year, the Company did not record any net revenue in relation to West Olympia Pharmacy during the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company has started offering ZYPITAMAG® through West Olympia Pharmacy and the Company plans on adding additional product offerings at the pharmacy throughout 2026.
ZYPITAMAG through insured channels contributed $2.8 million of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in ZYPITAMAG® revenue during the year ended December 31, 2025, can be attributed to lower utilization of the product through insurance formularies, specifically Medicare Part D. This amount does not include sales of ZYPITAMAG® through the Pharmacy Business Segment.
| 2 |
Research and development expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2025 totaled $3.2 million compared to $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Research and development expenditures include costs associated with the Company’s ongoing clinical development and pre-clinical programs including salaries and monitoring costs, as well as research and development costs associated with the development projects being undertaken to develop additional products.
Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2025 was negative $1.5 million compared to adjusted EBITDA of negative $437,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The main factors contributing to a decrease in adjusted EBITDA during the current year were decreased AGGRASTAT® revenue, an increase in cost of goods sold as a result of a change in product mix and a higher volume of product sold through the Pharmacy Business Segment, an increase in selling expenses as a result of the rebate liability issued by the CMS, increase in general and administrative expenses as a result of the acquisitions of Gateway Pharmacy and West Olympia Pharmacy during the current year, an increase in research and development expenses primarily due to the timing of expenses in relation to the development of MC-1, and a decrease in other income as a result of the legal settlement received during the prior year.
Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $7.1 million or $0.68 per share compared to a net loss of $1.0 million or $0.10 per share for the year ended December 31, 2024. The main factors contributing to the net loss recorded for the year ended December 31, 2025 were decreased AGGRASTAT® revenue, a slight decrease in ZYPITAMAG® revenue through the insured channel, an increase in cost of goods sold, an increase in selling expenses and general and administrative expenses, and an increase in research and development expenses, offset by an increase in Pharmacy Business Segment revenue, including revenue from ZYPITAMAG® through Marley Drug.
At December 31, 2025, the Company had unrestricted cash totaling $3.8 million, a decrease from the $7.2 million of unrestricted cash held as of December 31, 2024. The decrease in cash during the current year is primarily due to the acquisitions of Gateway Medical Pharmacy and West Olympia Pharmacy during the current year.
All amounts referenced herein are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.
The full financial statements are available at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company’s website at www.medicure.com.
Notes
| (1) | The Company defines EBITDA as "earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other income or expense" and Adjusted EBITDA as “EBITDA adjusted for non‑cash and non-recurring items”. The terms "EBITDA" and “Adjusted EBITDA”, as it relates to the three months and year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 results prepared using IFRS, do not have any standardized meaning according to IFRS. It is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. |
