Mednow Inc. (the “Company” or “Mednow”) (TSXV:MNOW) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended April 30, 2021.

Highlights:

  • On March 4, completed initial public offering resulting in gross proceeds of $37,000,000.
  • On March 9, started trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the ticker symbol “MNOW”.
  • In pursuit of national expansion, filed pharmacy applications to expand business operations in the provinces of Manitoba and Nova Scotia, alongside existing partner operations in British Columbia and Ontario.
  • Established a proprietary telemedicine service, “Mednow Virtual Care”, to offer patients access to doctors via the Mednow.ca web application.
  • In pursuit of large, institutional and corporate contracts, entered into an agreement with the Police Pensioners Association of Ontario to provide over 12,000 members with access to transparent pricing, same-day delivery in the GTA, free delivery across Ontario and access to Mednow’s digital health platform.
  • Repurchased, for cancellation, 16,800 common shares under the Company’s Normal Course Issuer Bid.
  • Effective June 7, appointed Benjamin Ferdinand as the Chief Financial Officer.

“We are making significant progress in establishing pharmacy operations on a national scale. In addition, we are continuing to pursue large, institutional contracts, such as the recently signed agreement with the Police Pensioner’s Association of Ontario. These large contracts are expected to result in a lower cost of customer acquisition than traditional retail consumers” said Karim Nassar, CEO of Mednow.

“With a strong balance sheet, comprised of almost $33 million in cash, Mednow is well positioned to disrupt the pharmacy services industry through our state-of-the-art, easy access, online technological infrastructure, established commercial relationships with traditional brick-and-mortar retail drug stores, and through management’s extensive knowledge and expertise of pharmacy supply chain, logistics, economics, operations and regulatory requirements” said Benjamin Ferdinand, CFO of Mednow.

Mednow’s Financial Statements and Management, Discussion & Analysis are available on sedar.com and on the Company’s website, Mednow.ca.
