Financial highlights
Financing
During the quarter ended Oct. 31, 2025, the company successfully completed $2.7-million of financing with issuance of units (common shares and warrants) through private placements, strengthening its liquidity. Cash and cash equivalents of $6.6-million at the end of the period, modestly lower than the $7.0-million reported as of July 31, 2025. The company is debt free.
Distribution revenues
Distribution revenues for the three-month period ended Oct. 31, 2025, were $1.05-million, an 83-per-cent decrease from $6.12-million in the comparable period, reflecting the expiry of the Dexlansoprazole distribution agreement in April, 2025.
Net loss
The company reported a net loss during the quarter of $1.6-million as compared with a net loss of $600,000 for the same period in 2024. The comparative period increases in net loss of nearly $1-million relates to the distribution revenues decline which reduced the gross margin by $1.5-million. This reduction was partially offset by a $500,000 savings in selling and administrative as well as financial expenses.
Cash flows
The company used $2.3-million in operating activities cash flows, compared with generating $2.6-million in the same period last year. The $4.9-million decrease in operating cash flows is mainly due to the net change in non-cash working capital items for an amount of nearly $3.5-million related to the payments of accounts payable, as well as the $1.4-million higher comparative net loss net of items not affecting cash.
