RAMM Pharma announces its quarter financial results for Q2 2020

TORONTO, June 29, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RAMM Pharma Corp. (including its wholly owned subsidiaries, the “Company” or "RAMM") (CSE:RAMM), a leader in plant-derived cannabinoid pharmaceutical products and medical product business, is pleased to announce second quarter financial results for the three and six months ended April 30, 2020. The interim consolidated financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the period will be available on SEDAR and on www.rammpharma.com.

“We have had a respectable quarter considering the circumstances. Sales of our Pharma products have been negatively impacted by the closure of the borders with our neighbours to the north and south, Brazil and Argentina, however sales of our sanitary and medical device products saw increased sales as hospitals, clinics and pharmacies stocked up to meet the demand imposed by Covid 19, resulting in quarterly growth and improved operating results. We are also successfully continuing our expansion into other jurisdictions,” stated Jack Burnett, Chief Executive Officer.

Key Q2 2020 Financial

  • Revenue of $1.9 million for the quarter

  • Gross profit of $0.8 million for the quarter

  • Gross margin of 44% for the quarter

  • Net working capital of approximately $33.7 million ($0.33 per share) including $31.2 million ($0.31 per share) of cash and no debt.
