_________________________
1 The Hyperinflation Impact is due to the application of IAS 29 in Argentina. Refer to Section - Hyperinflation for additional details.

The increase in revenues is explained by the following:

  • Oncology/Hematology: For the quarter ended December 31, 2024, the oncology/hematology portfolio increased by $9,718 or 37%, of which $9,768 is due to the Hyperinflation Impact1. Excluding IAS 29, the oncology/hematology portfolio decreased by $50. Revenues from our key promoted products increased by $5,781 or 42% on a constant currency2 basis driven by the growth of Lenvima®, Akynzeo®, Trelstar® and the launch of Minjuvi® in Brazil. This growth was offset by a decline in our mature and branded generics products due to their lifecycle and the market entrance of new competitors.

    For the year ended December 31, 2024, the oncology/hematology portfolio increased by $26,211 or 23% of which $11,336 is due to the Hyperinflation Impact1. Excluding IAS 29, the oncology/hematology portfolio increased by $14,875 or 12%. Our key promoted brands grew by $23,831 or 49% on a constant currency2 basis driven by the growth of Lenvima®, Akynzeo®, Trelstar® and the launch of Minjuvi® in Brazil. This growth was partially offset by a decline in our mature and branded generics products due to their lifecycle and the market entrance of new competitors and the impact of LATAM currencies depreciation.

    Furthermore, in Q3-24, a competitor in Brazil launched both a branded generic and a generic of Lenvima®. Knight and Eisai are collaborating to defend Lenvima®’s market exclusivity in Brazil. While we continue to challenge the generic entrants, the introduction of generics and branded generics will increase competitive pressures and negatively impact future sales and margins of Lenvima® in Brazil.
  • Infectious Diseases: For the quarter ended December 31, 2024, the infectious diseases portfolio increased by $9,465 or 30%, of which $4,992 is due to the Hyperinflation Impact1. Excluding IAS 29, the infectious diseases portfolio increased by $4,473 or 13% and $7,591 or 24% on constant currency2 basis. The increase is driven by the purchasing patterns of certain customers and the growth of Cresemba® across LATAM.

    For the year ended December 31, 2024, the infectious diseases portfolio increased by $14,324 or 10%, of which $5,797 is due to the Hyperinflation Impact1. Excluding IAS 29, the infectious diseases portfolio increased by $8,527 or 6% and $12,617 or 9% on constant currency2 basis driven by the growth of our key promoted products including Ambisome® and Cresemba®, partly offset by a decrease in the demand of Impavido®. In 2024, the Company delivered $24,800 of Ambisome® to the Ministry of Health of Brazil (“MOH”) compared to $25,200 in 2023.

    MOH Contract: The Company signed a contract with the MOH for Ambisome® in December 2022 ("2022 MOH Contract"). Knight delivered a total of $34,600 under the 2022 MOH Contract as follows: $7,000 in 2022, $25,200 in 2023 ($2,400 in Q1-23, $18,000 in Q2-23 and $4,800 in Q4-23) and $2,400 Q1-24. In December 2023, Knight signed a second contract with the MOH ("2024 MOH Contract") and has delivered $22,400 under this contract in 2024 as follows: $6,800 in Q1-24, $8,900 in Q2-24, $6,700 in Q3-24. The total MOH sales Ambisome® delivered in YTD-24 was $24,800. In January 2025, Knight signed a third contract with the MOH and it is expected that $22,400 will be delivered in 2025.
  • Other Specialty: For the quarter ended December 31, 2024, the other specialty portfolio increased by $3,484 or 20%, of which $2,243 is due to the Hyperinflation Impact1. Excluding IAS 29, the other specialty portfolio increased by $1,241 or 7% and $2,898 or 17% on constant currency2 basis mainly driven by the launch of Imvexxy® and Bijuva® in Canada.

    For the year ended December 31, 2024, the other specialty portfolio increased by $2,570 or 3%, of which $3,698 is due to the Hyperinflation Impact1. Excluding IAS 29, the other specialty portfolio decreased by $1,128 or 1%. On a constant currency2 basis, revenues increased by $621 or 1% mainly driven by the launch of Imvexxy® and Bijuva® in Canada offset by a decline in revenues from our mature branded generics products due to their lifecycle.

Excluding IAS 29, research and development increased by $2,715 or 14%. The increase was driven by product development activities in connection with our pipeline products and medical initiatives related to key promoted products. Knight invested $2,368 in 2024, an increase of $1,930 versus the prior year on its pipeline development activities. All costs related to development activities have been expensed which typically include regulatory submissions, analytical method transfers, stability studies and bioequivalence studies.

Impairment of non-current assets: In 2023, the impairment loss of $9,260 was mainly driven by Exelon®. The book value of the intangible asset of Exelon® is accounted in USD and revalued from USD to CAD at the end of every reporting period. The intangible of Exelon® is carried in the functional currency of USD and as such the related intangible is revalued from USD to CAD at the end of every reporting period. The appreciation of the USD versus the CAD from the acquisition date of Exelon® to the closing foreign exchange of 2023, has led to an increase in the value of the asset in CAD not offset by the cash flows projections, generating an impairment loss.

Financial Outlook1

For fiscal 2025, Knight expects to generate between $390 million to $405 million in revenues and adjusted EBITDA to be approximately 13% of revenues. The decrease in our forecasted adjusted EBITDA as % of revenues compared to the prior year is driven by investments behind our 18 products both in our pipeline and recently launched. This includes launch spend behind Jornay PM™ in Canada and Minjuvi® in Mexico as well as investments for advancing our pipeline through development, submission and pre-launch across our territories. The guidance includes the revenues and adjusted EBITDA that the expects to generate upon the close of the Paladin transaction in the middle of 2025. The guidance is based on a number of assumptions, including but not limited to the following:

  • closing of the Paladin transaction in the middle of 2025
  • no material impact on revenues due to the application of hyperinflation accounting for Argentina
  • no revenues for business development transactions not completed as at March 19, 2025
  • no unforeseen termination to our license, distribution & supply agreements
  • no interruptions in supply whether due to global supply chain disruptions or general manufacturing issues
  • no new generic entrants on our key pharmaceutical brands
  • no unforeseen changes to government mandated pricing regulations
  • successful commercial execution on product listing arrangements with HMOs, insurers, key accounts, and public payers
  • successful execution and uptake of newly launched products
  • no material increase in provisions for inventory or trade receivables

HYPERINFLATION

The Company applies IAS 29, Financial Reporting in Hyperinflation Economies, as the Company’s Argentine subsidiaries use the Argentine Peso as their functional currency. IAS 29 requires that the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy be adjusted based on an appropriate general price index to express the effects of inflation. After applying for the effects of hyperinflation, the statement of income (loss) is converted using the closing foreign exchange rate of the month.

Revenues & operating expenses in the local currency, i.e. ARS, are restated from the month of the sales or the month in which the expense was incurred to the end of the reporting period using the inflation index during that period. The restatement calculation is performed on a year to date basis based on IAS29 ("Inflation Adjusted Figures"). For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company applied the following inflation index for the restatement of each respective month.

  January February March April May June July August September October November December
2024 1.81 1.59 1.44 1.32 1.27 1.21 1.16 1.12 1.08 1.05 1.03 1.00
2023 2.94 2.75 2.56 2.36 2.19 2.07 1.94 1.73 1.53 1.42 1.25 1.00

Under IAS 29, the translation from the local currency, to the reporting currency is performed on the Inflation Adjusted Figures using the end of period rate at the reporting date. The Inflation Adjusted Figures were converted to the CAD using the following quarter-end closing rates for each of the respective periods.

  Q4-24 Q4-23
ARS 717 610


  Q4-24 Q4-23 YTD-24 YTD-23
ARS Variation %1 (0.1)% (137)% (17)% (368)%

1 Depreciation of ARS vs CAD during each period, calculated as follows: (End of period rate - Beginning of period rate) / Beginning of period rate.

In 2024 the inflation index used for the hyperinflation adjustment on revenues and operating expenses of the Company's subsidiaries in Argentina was higher than the ARS depreciation in the same period. For example, the revenues and operating expenses generated or incurred in January 2024 were restated by applying an inflation index of 81% while the ARS to CAD depreciated by only 17% in 2024. Consequently, this resulted in higher revenues and operating expenses reported under IAS 29 in CAD. Conversely in 2023, the inflation index was lower than the ARS depreciation which resulted in lower revenues and operating expenses reported under IAS 29 in CAD. As such, the hyperinflation accounting under IAS 29 resulted in an inflated variance in the reported revenues and operating expenses of the Company's subsidiaries in Argentina in CAD in both Q4-2024 and 2024 when compared to the same prior year periods ("Hyperinflation Impact").

Under hyperinflation accounting, the cost of goods sold in the local currency, i.e. ARS, are restated using the inflation index from the purchase date to the end of the reporting period. The restatement calculation is performed on a year-to-date basis based on IAS29 ("Cost of goods sold adjusted Figures").

Under IAS 29, the Cost of goods sold adjusted Figures were converted to CAD using the quarter-end closing rates of the respective periods. In 2024 the inflation index used for the hyperinflation adjustment over cost of goods sold of the Company´s subsidiaries in Argentina were higher than the ARS depreciation in the same period. Therefore this led to higher cost of goods sold reported under IAS 29 in CAD and consequently a lower gross margin. Conversely, in 2023, the inflation index was lower than the ARS depreciation which resulted in lower cost of goods sold and consequently higher gross margin. As such, the hyperinflation accounting under IAS 29 resulted in an inflated variance in the reported cost of goods sold and a decrease in the gross margin related to Company´s subsidiaries in Argentina in CAD in both Q4-2024 and 2024 compared to the same prior year periods ("Gross Margin Hyperinflation Impact").

FINANCIAL RESULTS UNDER NON-GAAP MEASURES
[In thousands of Canadian dollars]

The Company discloses non-GAAP measures and ratios that do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS. The Company believes that shareholders, investment analysts and other readers find such measures helpful in understanding the Company’s financial performance. Non-GAAP financial measures and adjusted EBITDA per share ratio do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not have been calculated in the same way as similarly named financial measures presented by other companies. The Company uses the following non-GAAP measures.

[i] Financial results excluding the impact of hyperinflation under IAS 29

The Company applies IAS 29, Financial Reporting in Hyperinflation Economies, as the Company's Argentine subsidiaries used the Argentine Peso as their functional currency. IAS 29 requires that the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy be adjusted based on an appropriate general price index to express the effects of inflation.

Financial results under IFRS are adjusted to remove the impact of hyperinflation under IAS 29. The impact of hyperinflation under IAS 29 is calculated by applying an appropriate general price index to express the effects of inflation. After applying the effects of translation, the statement of income is converted using the closing foreign exchange rate of the month.

The Company believes that financial results excluding the impact of hyperinflation under IAS 29 represents a useful measure to investors as allow results to be viewed without the impact of IAS 29, thereby facilitating the comparison of results period over period. The presentation of financial results excluding the impact of hyperinflation under IAS 29 is considered to be a non-GAAP measure and does not have any standardized meaning under GAAP. As a result, the information presented may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

The following tables are reconciliations of financial results under IFRS to financial results excluding the impact of hyperinflation under IAS 29.

[ii] Financial results at constant currency

Financial results at constant currency are obtained by translating the prior period revenues and financial results from the functional currencies to CAD using the conversion rates in effect during the current period. Furthermore, with respect to Argentina, the Company excludes the impact of hyperinflation and translates the revenues and results at the average exchange rate in effect for each of the periods.

The Company believes that financial results at constant currency represents a useful measure to investors because it eliminates the effect that foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations may have on period-to-period comparability given the volatility in foreign currency exchange markets and therefore, provides greater transparency to the underlying performance of our consolidated financial results. The presentation of revenues and financial results under constant currency is considered to be a non-GAAP measure and does not have any standardized meaning under GAAP. As a result, the information presented may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
