Apotex Announces First Quarter 2027 Results |
| [12-August-2026] |
– Canada Delivers 11% Revenue Growth in Q1 – Adjusted EBITDA1 of $259 Million with 31% Margin – Launch Momentum Supports FY 2027 Guidance: Upper Mid-Single Digit Revenue Growth and ~ 30% Adjusted EBITDA Margin – Successfully Completed Upsized IPO and Applied $800 Million of Proceeds to Debt Repayment TORONTO, Aug. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Apotex Health Corp. ("Apotex" or the "Company") (TSX: APTX), a Canadian-based global health company and Canada's largest pharmaceutical company, today announced its financial and operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2026. All financial figures are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.
"As we begin our first year as a public company, Fiscal 2027 is off to a strong start, demonstrating the continued execution of our Journey of Health strategy," said Jeff Watson, Chief Executive Officer, Apotex. "Excluding the U.S. contribution of generic Revlimid (VLLP2), revenue increased 2%, supported by strong performance in Canada, where revenue grew 11%. We delivered a 31% Adjusted EBITDA margin in the quarter, reflecting disciplined execution across the business and the benefits of ongoing productivity initiatives targeting more than $100 million of savings in Fiscal 2027. We also advanced key growth opportunities through first-to-market launches of semaglutide in Canada and sitagliptin and multivitamin products in the U.S., as well as the Cumberland portfolio expansion transaction. While the reported year-over-year comparisons reflect the expected impact of the prior-year VLLP contribution and certain product-specific dynamics, our core business remains well positioned. As we look ahead, we remain focused on disciplined execution, expanding access to critical medicines, and building a more diversified and resilient business." "The first quarter reflected the strength of our underlying business and the benefits of the IPO, which improved our financial foundation," said Brian McClelland, Chief Financial Officer, Apotex. "Beyond solid margin performance in the quarter, we reduced leverage below our long-term target and strengthened our balance sheet. After quarter end, we achieved an investment-grade issuer rating from Morningstar DBRS and completed an amended and restated credit agreement that expanded our revolving credit facility to $1.2 billion, extended maturities, and converted our facilities to an unsecured structure. Together with our strong cash flow profile, these milestones position us well to support continued investment in growth opportunities while maintaining a disciplined approach to capital allocation." As expected, reported year-over-year comparisons were impacted by the prior-year contribution from generic Revlimid, or VLLP, which is no longer a meaningful contributor to results in Fiscal 2027. Excluding VLLP, first quarter results reflected resilient underlying performance, including 2% Revenue growth, Adjusted EBITDA of $259 million and an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 31%.

Please refer to below and refer to the MD&A, which is available under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, for an explanation of the composition of those non-IFRS measures, an explanation of how these non-IFRS measures provide useful information to investors and the additional purposes for which management uses these non-IFRS financial measures. These measures are not recognized under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management's perspective. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. These non-IFRS measures are used to provide readers with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We also believe that market participants frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of issuers. Our management also uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts and to determine components of management compensation. See the financial table at the conclusion of this press release for a reconciliation of non-IFRS measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures. EBITDA EBITDA is calculated as earnings before income tax expense (recovery), interest expense, net, depreciation and amortization. Management believes that EBITDA is a useful measure to assess the Company's financial performance as it provides more meaningful operating results by excluding the effects of non-operating costs such as interest and taxes, and non-cash costs such as depreciation and amortization. EBITDA Margin EBITDA Margin is calculated as EBITDA divided by revenue. Management believes that EBITDA Margin is a useful measure to assess the Company's financial performance, as a percentage of revenue, as it provides more meaningful operating results by excluding the effects of non-operating costs such as interest and taxes, and non-cash costs such as depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA adjusted to include the cost of lease payments and to exclude acquisition related costs, non-cash purchase price adjustments, remeasurement of contingent consideration, share-based compensation, impairment and write-off of assets, litigation settlements and awards and the associated legal fees related to cases that are not company product specific, operational reorganization costs, unrealized foreign exchange losses or gains, IPO related costs, losses or gains on derivative financial instruments and other adjustments, which represent items that have been excluded from Adjusted EBITDA to facilitate understanding of trends in the Company's financial results such as costs associated with business transformation initiatives. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure to assess the Company's financial performance as it provides more meaningful operating results by excluding the effects of interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization costs, and expenses management believes are not reflective of the Company's underlying business performance. Adjusted EBITDA Margin Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA Margin is a useful measure to assess the Company's financial performance, as a percentage of revenue, as it provides more meaningful operating results by excluding the effects of interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization costs, and expenses management believes are not reflective of the Company's underlying business performance. Adjusted Net Income Adjusted Net Income is calculated as earnings (loss) adjusted for acquisition related costs, non-cash purchase price adjustments, remeasurement of contingent consideration, share-based compensation, impairment and write-off of assets, litigation settlement and awards and the associated legal fees related to cases that are not company product specific, operational reorganization costs, unrealized foreign exchange losses or gains, IPO related costs, losses or gains on derivative financial instruments, other adjustments, and the tax effect of all such adjustments, which represent items that have been excluded from Adjusted Net Income to facilitate understanding of trends in the Company's financial results such as costs associated with business transformation initiatives. Management believes Adjusted Net Income is a useful measure to assess the Company's financial performance as it provides more meaningful operating results by excluding the effects of expenses management believes are not reflective of the Company's underlying business performance. Net Debt Net Debt is calculated as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. Management believes Net Debt is a useful measure to assess the Company's financial obligations, net of its cash and cash equivalents. Operating Free Cash Flow Operating Free Cash Flow is calculated as net cash flows from operating activities less lease payments, purchases of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets plus interest paid on debt, payments of contingent consideration, and the portion of acquisition related costs, IPO related costs, operational reorganization costs and other adjustments paid in cash during the reporting period. Management believes Operating Free Cash Flow is a useful measure to assess the cash flow generated by the Company's core business operations after accounting for necessary capital expenditures. Adjusted Basic and Diluted EPS Adjusted Basic EPS is calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Adjusted Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, assuming the conversion of all dilutive securities were exercised during the period. Measures Excluding the U.S. Contribution of VLLP The following measures exclude the impact of the U.S. Contribution of the VLLP: Revenue excluding U.S. Contribution of the VLLP ("Revenue Excluding VLLP") is calculated as revenue minus revenue from U.S Contribution of the VLLP. Conventional Generics Revenue excluding U.S. Contribution of the VLLP ("Conventional Generics Excluding VLLP") is calculated as conventional generics revenue minus revenue attributable to the U.S. Contribution of the VLLP. U.S. Segment Revenue excluding U.S. Contribution of the VLLP ("U.S. Excluding VLLP") is calculated as U.S. segment revenue minus revenue attributable to the U.S. Contribution of the VLLP. Gross Profit excluding U.S. Contribution of the VLLP ("Gross Profit Excluding VLLP") is calculated as gross profit minus gross profit attributable to the U.S. Contribution of the VLLP. U.S. Segment Gross Profit excluding U.S. Contribution of the VLLP ("U.S. Gross Profit Excluding VLLP") is calculated as U.S. segment gross profit minus gross profit attributable to the U.S. Contribution of the VLLP. Gross Margin excluding U.S. Contribution of the VLLP ("Gross Margin Excluding VLLP") is calculated as Gross profit excluding VLLP divided by Revenue excluding U.S. Contribution of the VLLP. U.S. Gross Margin excluding U.S. Contribution of the VLLP ("U.S. Gross Margin Excluding VLLP") is calculated as U.S. segment gross profit excluding VLLP divided by U.S. segment revenue excluding U.S. Contribution of the VLLP. Adjusted EBITDA excluding U.S. Contribution of the VLLP ("Adjusted EBITDA Excluding VLLP") is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA minus gross profit attributable to the U.S. Contribution of the VLLP. Adjusted EBITDA Margin excluding U.S. Contribution of the VLLP ("Adjusted EBITDA Margin Excluding VLLP") is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA excluding VLLP divided by Revenue excluding U.S. Contribution of the VLLP. Adjusted Net Income excluding U.S. Contribution of the VLLP ("Adjusted Net Income Excluding VLLP") is calculated as Adjusted Net Income minus gross profit attributable to the U.S. Contribution of the VLLP net of tax. Operating Free Cash Flow Excluding U.S. Contribution of the Volume-Limited License Product ("Operating Free Cash Flow Excluding VLLP") is calculated as Operating Free Cash Flow minus U.S. contribution of the Volume-Limited License Product. Adjusted Basic EPS excluding U.S. Contribution of the VLLP ("Adjusted Basic EPS Excluding VLLP") is calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Income excluding U.S. Contribution of the VLLP by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Adjusted Diluted EPS excluding U.S. Contribution of the VLLP ("Diluted Basic EPS Excluding VLLP") is calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Income excluding U.S. Contribution of the VLLP by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, assuming the conversion of all dilutive securities were exercised during the period. Management believes these measures are useful because they help investors evaluate the Company's total revenue, cash flows, U.S. segment performance, conventional generics performance and profitability excluding the impact of the U.S. Contribution of the VLLP. Revenue from the U.S. Contribution of the VLLP meaningfully contributed to total revenue, cash flows, U.S. segment revenue, conventional generics revenue and profitability during Fiscal 2026. Following the full genericization of the VLLP in the U.S. market in February 2026, management expects VLLP sales to represent less than 1% of total revenue beginning in Fiscal 2027. Accordingly, these measures provide a more meaningful basis for evaluating the Company's ongoing operating performance and period-over-period trends.
