This double-digit Q2 2024 sales growth follows strong growth in Q1 2024, with 15% total Company sales growth overall for H1 2024 over the comparative period."
Mr. Goehrum continued, "We continued to invest in the promotion of our launch-stage brands, FeraMAX® Pd Maintenance 45, Inofolic®, and Gelclair®, as well as in the ongoing development of a new FeraMAX® Pd product, all of which impacted our Q2 net profit margin. We believe such launch-stage support of our brands is necessary for these brands to reach their sales potential and drive long-term growth in line with our strategic objectives of profitable growth and portfolio diversification. To this end, during the quarter, we also announced that BioSyent Pharma had in-licensed the Canadian distribution rights to a new endocrinology product with significant future revenue potential. We plan to submit this product for regulatory approval to Health Canada by the end of 2024. I look forward to reporting on the future progress of these strategic initiatives as well as our active business development pipeline."
