Delivered first shipments of Tibelia® (tibolone) during Q1 2025 following acquisition of global product rights in September 2024
“2025 got off to a strong start with growth from each of our Canadian Pharma, International Pharma and Legacy businesses,” commented Mr. René Goehrum, President and CEO of BioSyent. “FeraMAX® Pd sales, which included strong growth from the FeraMAX® Pd Maintenance 45 product (launched in 2023), grew by 18% over the comparative quarter. FeraMAX® Pd’s position as Canada’s leader in iron health was further bolstered by its recognition in April 2025 as the #1 recommended OTC oral iron supplement by Canadian physicians and pharmacists in an independent national survey for the tenth consecutive year. We continue to build on this leadership position by further developing and expanding the FeraMAX® Pd line of products.”
“Our Tibella® (tibolone) product also continued its sales momentum in Canada during the first quarter with 53% growth over the comparative period. Each Tibella® sale in Canada is now more profitable to BioSyent with improved gross margins following our September 2024 acquisition of the worldwide rights to Tibelia® (tibolone) and a direct source of supply. We also delivered our first international Tibelia® orders to several distributors around the world following the acquisition, generating new revenues of $0.8 million in the first quarter with further deliveries planned throughout the balance of 2025.”
“All of our businesses performed well during the first quarter in spite of the backdrop of uncertainty created by escalating tariffs, counter-measures and threats between international trading partners. The tariff situation is unpredictable and the resulting economic fallout continues to evolve. While there has been no direct impact to the performance of our business from the tariff situation to date, the broader impact of trade barriers on the Canadian economy and the Canadian consumer is uncertain. We continue to monitor this situation and to mitigate any potential risks to our customers, supply chains, and business operations. As always, we remain focused on patients and continuing to deliver on our strategic priorities of long-term, profitable growth and portfolio diversification.”
“In addition to these strong Q1 financial results, I am pleased to announce the election to the Board of Directors today of Mr. Prakash Gowd, who replaces Mr. Larry Andrews upon his retirement from the Board. Mr. Gowd is an accomplished business leader with extensive healthcare industry experience and expertise. He will be an asset to the Board through the next phase of BioSyent’s continued growth. I would like to thank Mr. Andrews for his 7 years of service on the Board and his commitment and contributions to BioSyent’s continued success during his tenure.”
