Financial Results
Net revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 were $20.3 million compared to $7.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, an increase of 164%. Net revenue from the sale of AGGRASTAT for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 was $8.1 million compared to $7.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, an increase of 5%. Net revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 include $12.3 million in revenue from the Apicore business, which was acquired on December 1, 2016.
Net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were $29.0 million compared to $13.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, an increase of 111%. Net revenue from the sale of AGGRASTAT for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $15.1 million compared to $13.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, an increase of 9%. Net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2017 include $14.0 million in revenue from the Apicore business, which was acquired on December 1, 2016.
The increase in AGGRASTAT revenue compared to the previous year is primarily attributable to an increase in the number of new hospital customers using AGGRASTAT and the increase in market share held by the product. For the quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Company experienced its highest level of AGGRASTAT hospital demand in the history of owning the product. The Company's commercial team continues to work on expanding its customer base.
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, after adjusting for $62,000 of share-based compensation (a non-cash expense item), was $6.2 million compared to adjusted EBITDA of $2.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, after adjusting for $1.2 million of share-based compensation (a non-cash expense item) and $73,000 relating to on-going costs pertaining to the one-time sNDA filing. Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2017, after adjusting for $123,000 of share-based compensation (a non-cash expense item), was $4.7 million compared to adjusted EBITDA of $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, after adjusting for $1.4 million of share-based compensation (a non-cash expense item) and $324,000 relating to on-going costs pertaining to the one-time sNDA filing.
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 was $1.4 million or $0.09 per share, compared to $433,000 or $0.03 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. The increase in net income is a result of the higher revenues associated with AGGRASTAT and the addition of the Apicore business, partially offset by higher costs relating to the Apicore business and increased finance expense due to interest on the loan obtained by the Company in November 2016. The addition of the Apicore business resulted in higher cost of goods sold by $4.8 million, selling general and administration expenses by $1.7 million and research and development expenses by $4.8 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2017. The Apicore research and development expenses include $2.9 million of amortization relating to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.
The Company experienced a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2017 of $3.7 million compared to net income of $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The loss for the current period is primarily related to the historically low revenues achieved by the Apicore business in first quarter of each fiscal year.
At June 30, 2017, the Company had unrestricted cash totaling $4.5 million compared to $12.3 million as of December 31, 2016. The decrease in cash is due to the net loss, after adjusting for non-cash items, higher interest payments made during the quarter relating to the debt obtained in November 2016 and the acquisition of additional Class E common shares of Apicore during the quarter. Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $4.7 million compared to cash flows from operating activities of $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016.
All amounts referenced herein are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.
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 one-time items". The terms "EBITDA" and "Adjusted EBITDA", as it relates to the quarters ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 results prepared using International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), do not have any standardized meaning according to IFRS. It is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
