Financial Results

Net AGGRASTAT product sales for the year ended December 31, 2024, were $8.1 million compared to $9.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. 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.

The Marley Drug business contributed $10.8 million of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to $9.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Marley Drug is a US pharmacy licensed to ship medications to all 50 states, Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico. It serves thousands of customers and provides another channel for direct-to-consumer marketing, distribution and improved profit margin for ZYPITAMAG. The increase in revenue is a result of increased sales through marketing, fulfillment partnerships, its e-commerce platform, and increased sales of ZYPITAMAG.

ZYPITAMAG through insured channels contributed $3.0 million of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in revenue in 2024 is due to increased volume of sales to drug wholesalers. This amount does not include sales of ZYPITAMAG ^® through the Marley Drug business.

Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2024 was negative $437,000 compared to $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Decreased adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2024 resulted from 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 Marley Drug, an increase in general and administrative expenses as a result of professional legal fees incurred in the current year and an increase in research and development expenses related to the development of MC-1; offset by an increase in ZYPITAMAG and Marley Drug revenue, a decrease in selling expenses as a result of better resource utilization, and an increase in other income as a result of a legal settlement received from the Company's previous CDMO.

Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $1.0 million or $0.10 per share compared to a net loss of $922,000 or $0.09 per share for the year ended December 31, 2023. The main factors contributing to the net loss recorded for the year ended December 31, 2024 were decreased AGGRASTAT revenue, an increase in cost of goods sold, an increase in general and administrative expenses, and an increase in research and development expenses, offset by an increase in ZYPITAMAG and Marley Drug revenue, a decrease in selling expenses, and an increase in other income as noted above.

At December 31, 2024, the Company had unrestricted cash totaling $7.2 million, up from $6.4 million of unrestricted cash held as of December 31, 2023. Cash flows from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 totaled $1.4 million compared to $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.

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, 2024 and 2023 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.
