Revenue: For the quarter ended June 30, 2021, revenues increased by $12,546 or 24% and on a constant currency basis increased by $14,379 or 28%. The growth in revenues on a constant currency basis is explained as following:        

  • An estimated increase in revenues of approximately $5,500 to $7,000 driven by the increased demand of certain of our infectious diseases products to treat invasive fungal infections associated with COVID-19.
  • An increase in revenues of $4,187 driven by the acquisition of Exelon®.
  • An increase in revenues of $4,807 or 64% driven by the growth of our recently launched products, including Cresemba®, Lenvima®, Halaven®, Nerlynx®, Trelstar® and certain BGx products.

Gross margin: For the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the gross margin increased from 42% to 44% compared to the same period in the prior year due to lower inventory provision and a change in product mix, partially offset by re-negotiation of certain license agreements and the depreciation of the LATAM currencies. The gross margin would have been 46%, an increase of 2%, from 44% after excluding the adjustment of hyperinflation accounting in accordance with IAS 29.

Selling and marketing: For the quarter ended June 30, 2021, selling and marketing increased by $133 or 1% and on a constant currency basis by $117 or 1% as compared to the same prior year period. The increase is driven by promotional activities related to newly launched products and Exelon®, offset by a net reduction of $1,719 in ECL expenses.

General and administrative: For the quarter ended June 30, 2021, general and administrative expenses increased by $1,280 or 16% and on a constant currency basis by $873 or 11% as compared to the same period in prior year. The increase is driven by an expense of $1,210 related to the extension of expiry date of certain stock options held by executive officers, directors and employees, offset by a lower cost of restructuring activities during the quarter compared to the same prior year period.

Amortization of intangible assets: For the quarter ended June 30, 2021, amortization of intangible assets increased by $1,831, or 32%, mainly explained by the amortization of Exelon® acquired during Q2-21, partially offset by the depreciation of LATAM currencies.

Interest income: Interest income is the sum of interest income on financial instruments measured at amortized cost and other interest income. For the quarter ended June 30, 2021, interest income was $1,786, a decrease of $1,892 or 51%, compared to the same prior year period, due to a decrease in interest rates, the average cash and marketable securities balances and a lower average loan balance.

Interest expense: The interest expense relates to interest incurred on bank loans. For the quarter ended June 30, 2021 interest expenses was $668, a decrease of $433 or 39% compared to the same period in the prior year due to a decrease in the average loan balance outstanding.

Adjusted EBITDA: For the quarter ended June 30, 2021 adjusted EBITDA increased by $1,743 or 23% and on a constant currency basis by $3,007 or 47%, compared to the same prior year period. The growth in adjusted EBITDA is driven by an increase in gross of margin of $5,665 due to the increase in revenues offset by higher operating expenses of $1,304 due to the cost of the extension of the stock options and a reduction in the adjustments of reconciling items from operating income to adjusted EBITDA including acquisition and transaction costs, non-recurring expenses and purchase price accounting adjustments by $1,354.

Net income or loss: For the quarter ended June 30, 2021, net income was $29,004 compared to net income of $15,512 for the same period last year. The variance mainly resulted from the above-mentioned items as well as a net gain on the revaluation of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss of $28,472 in the second quarter of 2021 versus a net gain of $16,499 in the prior year period.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities: As at June 30, 2021, Knight had $166,121 in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, a decrease of $226,104 or 58% as compared to December 31, 2020. The variance is primarily due to cash outflows related to the acquisition of Exelon®, the shares repurchased through NCIB and the repayments of bank offset by cash generated from operating activities.

Financial assets: As at June 30, 2021, financial assets were at $217,364, an increase of $23,409 or 12%, as compared to the prior period, mainly due to an increase of $27,045 due to mark-to-market adjustments in Knight’s fund investments offset by loan repayments of $2,479 and a decrease of $1,731 driven by the disposal of equity investments. Given the nature of the fund investments there could be significant fluctuations in the fair value of the underlying assets. More specifically, on May 26, 2021 Singular Genomics Systems, Inc. (“SGS”), an investment held within Domain Associated LLC (“Domain”), announced the closing of its initial public offering at a public offering price of USD 22 per share. The shares held by Domain are subject to a 180-day lockup period. During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded an unrealized gain of $30,522 [USD 24,626]. As at August 11, 2021, SGS’s share price closed at USD 15.23. Should the share price of SGS remain at this level, the Company would record an unrealized loss of approximately $14,030 [USD 11,320] in Q3-21. The unrealized gain recorded on SGS was partially offset by an unrealized loss recorded, in the second quarter ended June 30, 2021, of $13,533 related to Atea Pharmaceuticals an investment held within Sectoral Asset Management fund. To date, Knight has recorded a net gain of $8,881 in connection with Sectoral’s investment in Atea.

Bank Loans: As at June 30, 2021, bank loans were at $35,149, a decrease of $16,621 or 32% as compared to the prior period, mainly due to loan repayment of $14,911, a further decrease of $2,323 due to the foreign exchange revaluation partially offset by an overdraft increase of $613.

On May 26, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with Novartis to acquire the exclusive rights to manufacture, market and sell Exelon®, in Canada and Latin America as well as an exclusive license to use the intellectual property and the Exelon trademark, from Novartis within those territories.

IMPACT OF HYPERINFLATION

[In thousands of Canadian dollars]

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. If the Company did not apply IAS 29, the effect on the Company’s operating income would be as follows:

NON-IFRS MEASURES AND RECONCILIATION TO ADJUSTED EBITDA
[In thousands of Canadian dollars]

Non-IFRS measures

The Company discloses non-IFRS measures 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 and in interpreting the effect of the GBT Transaction on the Company. Non-IFRS financial measures 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-IFRS measures:

Financial results at constant currency: Financial results at constant currency are obtained by translating the prior period 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 results at the average exchange rate in effect for each of the periods.

Financial results at constant currency allow results to be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates thereby facilitating the comparison of results period over period. The presentation of results under constant currency is considered to be a non-GAPP 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.

EBITDA: Operating loss adjusted to exclude amortization and impairment of intangible assets, depreciation, PPA accounting adjustments, and the impact of IAS 29 (accounting under hyperinflation) but to include costs related to leases. In addition, EBITDA does not reflect the portion of GBT’s results attributable to the non-controlling interests.

Adjusted EBITDA: EBITDA adjusted for acquisition costs and non-recurring expenses.

Adjustments include the following:

  • With the adoption of IFRS 16, the lease payments of Knight are not reflected in operating expenses. The IFRS 16 adjustment approximates the cash outflow related to leases of Knight.
  • Acquisition costs relate to costs incurred on legal, consulting and advisory fees for the acquisition of GBT and the acquisition of products.
  • Other non-recurring expenses relate to expenses incurred by Knight that are not due to, and are not expected to occur in, the ordinary course of business. For the quarter ended June 30, 2021, Knight recorded one-time costs of $43.

For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, the Company calculated EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as follows:

      Change     Change
  Q2-21   Q2-20    $1   %2 YTD-21   YTD-20   $1   %2
