Third Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights
Financial Highlights for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021
third quarter of 2021 was highlighted by the achievement of a successful business combination with Union Acquisition Corp. II ("LATN")
and the listing of our ordinary shares on the Nasdaq, along with continued financial and operational momentum," said Ruben Minski,
Procaps Group's Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "The resurgence in the market with the re-opening of the economy,
rapid ramp-up of new product launches, continued roll-out of products into new geographic areas and measured improvements to our inventory
rotations combined to deliver 35% revenue growth during the quarter, including double-digit increases in four out of five of our business
Procaps Colombia, CAN and CASAND business units had the highest growth among our business units as a result of increased demand across
the board for a variety of products, including both Rx and OTC products, and new product launches. Likewise, our Diabetrics business
unit experienced strong growth during the third quarter of 2021 compared to the previous quarter.
we look to further our growth initiatives, we believe the new capital from our business combination has positioned us to execute a multi-prong
growth strategy that we expect will continue to deliver double-digit growth in our core markets with strong cash generation to the bottom
line. We are now further enabled to focus on strategic roll-ups and consolidation in the region that we believe will drive an accelerated
competitive position and value creation.
our B2B segment, we expect to see growth from both our existing portfolio and product pipeline and in our B2C segment, we anticipate
growth initiatives from our existing portfolio and from new products focused on current therapeutic areas in chronic diseases such as
pain relief, immunology, cardiology, respiratory and dermatology, and the internationalization of our existing portfolio, with on-going
efforts to expand our footprint of successful products outside of Colombia. Our internationalization strategy and on-going efforts to
expand our footprint of successful products outside of Colombia continues to be one of our primary focuses, with a return to trade fairs
and over 67 products internationalized during the quarter. We believe our company-wide product pipeline, with an estimate of over 600
product launches in the next three years, will provide the support for our growth in the next few years.
quarter's accomplishments and strong financial results are helping to accelerate the delivery of our innovative pharmaceutical
solutions and drive new expansion initiatives that we believe will enable us to increase our market share of the approximately $58 billion
pharmaceutical market in Latin America," concluded Minski.
Financial Officer Patricio Vargas commented: "As a result of our business combination, there were a number of one-time charges
that affected our bottom line, and we are happy to report that they are extinguished and now reflect positive total equity on the balance
sheet. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, finance expenses totaled $79 million, of which $23 million was related to finance
expenses accrued for the put options held by certain shareholders and $36 million represented a one-time expense for the termination
of put options held by certain shareholders in connection with the recently closed business combination. Moreover, classifying and extinguishing
these derivatives enables the Company to articulate a cleaner financial profile in subsequent quarters as we move closer toward positive
net income operations. Considering the favorable demand conditions that we have observed in the different markets we operate, we have
decided to increase our investments in marketing and R&D, which we believe will result in further growth in 2022. We look forward
to reviewing these numbers and all of the positive operational metrics since the closing of our business combination on our upcoming
business update conference call next week," concluded Vargas.
