Delivery of medical cannabis grown in Germany: Aphria RX GmbH, a wholly-owned subsidiary of TLRY, stated on June 7, 2021, that it had completed its first successful harvest of medicinal cannabis grown in Germany. Before enacting Germany's Cannabis as Medicines Act in March 2017, the country had to rely only on imports to fulfill the rising medical demand, estimated to be well over 100,000 patients. Tilray's continuous local harvest and manufacturing will be critical in ensuring patient requirements while also minimizing reliance on imported supplies.

Harmony Biosciences Holdings, Inc.

HRMY Details

Harmony Biosciences Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: HRMY) is a commercial-stage pharmaceutical firm dedicated to discovering and commercializing novel treatments for patients suffering from rare neurological disorders. HRMY presently derives income from Pitolisant, a drug sold under the WAKIX brand that was introduced on November 1, 2019, to treat excessive daytime sleepiness (EDT) in adult narcolepsy patients. On August 21, 2020, HRMY common shares were listed on the exchange at USD 24.

Multiple Opportunities for Pitolisant (Source: Q1FY21 Presentation, May 11, 2021)

Initiating Phase 2 trials in Myotonic Dystrophy: On June 29, 2021, HRMY announced the initiation of phase 2 clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Pitolisant in adult patients with type 1 Myotonic Dystrophy (DM1), a genetically inherited form of adult-onset muscular dystrophy. The company expects the topline results from the phase 2 trials in Q2FY22.

New Analysis Underscoring WAKIX’s Efficacy: HRMY announced a new data point for WAKIX on June 10, 2021, revealing the extent of the drug's medical effectiveness for excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and cataplexy in people with narcolepsy.

Q1FY21 Results: The company reported a massive increase of 2x YoY in net product revenues to USD 59.67 million in Q1FY21 (ended March 31, 2021) compared to USD 19.84 million in Q1FY20, due to growing commercial sales of WAKIX, which was launched on November 01, 2019. The company reported a significant increase in net income to USD 7.38 million in Q1FY21 compared to the loss incurred of USD 38.62 million in Q1FY20. As of March 31, 2020, the company stood with cash and cash equivalents of USD 141.16 million with a total debt of USD 194.90 million.

Key Risks: HRMY is focused on the marketing of a single product, namely 'WAKIX.' If the company cannot expand its product range in the future, which usually takes time, then over-reliance on a single product may hurt the company's financial strength. Furthermore, during FY20 and FY19, HRMY's significant clients CVS Caremark and Pantherx contributed 73% and 88% of gross product revenues, respectively. Therefore, excessive reliance on certain clients for business might be detrimental to the company's financial health in the long run.
