A word from the CEO
Sales in Q2
Sales is solidly growing compared to same period previous year with +108% growth in this quarter and year-to-date growth of 714%. However, as anticipated, the turnover was somewhat lower this quarter compared to previous quarter reflecting the irregular flow of orders and fluctuations in sales. It is nice to witness the commercial progress despite a quarter with modest sales.
For the same reasons, it was a pleasure to announce an order totalling 8,8 MSEK to be despatched by the end of May 2024.
Advancing the portfolio
Compared to previous year, we have enlarged the portfolio to 43 products with either licensed or distribution rights and expect to continue enlarging the portfolio through licenses or distribution rights.
We recently obtained regulatory approval in Sweden for Nintedanib Newbury - a product used for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. By now we have 20 registered products across Scandinavia and additionally nine products are currently submitted for approval.
The expansion of the Nordic portfolio continues with several launches planned in 2024. At the same time, we see recurring orders from the international sales activities which is a strong foundation for continued growth. We have a good foundation for continued growth and will pursue to broaden the business during the coming months with more launches, more product approvals and potentially new partnerships.
Directed share issue
At the annual meeting in January the board was re-elected with Karl Karlsson as chairman. At the same time, the board where given authorization to decide to issue new shares in the company, in accordance with the board's proposal.
On March 4th the company announced a successful directed issue raising app. 19 MSEK from a few new investors together with a few existing shareholders.
The directed issue will enable Newbury to continue advance and expand the portfolio of in-licensed products and secures funding for the regulatory fees to authorities relating to new product approvals and the expenses relating to launching of more products.
I welcome new shareholders as well thank existing shareholders for the trust in the continued growth of Newbury Pharmaceuticals. We are pleased with a strengthening of our capital base which will secure the continued focus on executing our growth plans by launching additional products and building a stronger company for the future.
