“Q1 2020 was a record quarter for our Canadian Pharmaceutical Business with growth from across our product portfolio,” commented Mr. René Goehrum, President and CEO of BioSyent. “We saw solid sales growth in the months of January and February 2020 and exceptional sales growth in the month of March 2020 at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada. The increased sales activity in the latter part of March was largely due to a short-term surge in consumer demand for certain products and some accumulation of safety stocks by wholesalers, pharmacies, and hospitals in response to COVID-19 uncertainty. While we are managing the challenges of the current business environment, we nonetheless remain focused on the long-term and continue to make investments in future growth as we prepare for the Canadian launch of the new Tibella® women’s health product and the Combogesic® pain management product. I look forward to reporting on our progress over the coming months.”
