I'm sorry, I shouldn't have repeated all that. Again, good morning and thanks for joining us. Before I begin, I would like to remind everyone that all figures discussed on today's call are expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise specified. CIFR's second quarter of 2025 yielded the highest earnings quarter for total net revenue in CIFR's history. This was achieved by strong performance from the U.S. Natroba business that exceeded our initial expectations from acquisition of the business one year ago, combined with Cypher's base business performing slightly ahead of the same quarter last year. First, I'd like to spend some time on highlights from the U.S. Natroba business. Revenues were $7.8 million during the second quarter of 2025, which was ahead of our expectations when we acquired the business a year ago. in July, 2024. Given the seasonality of the product and the second quarter demonstrated a lead up to the higher demand warmer months of the year. And therefore sales in the quarter may meaningfully saw meaningful increases from the first quarter. We believe the second quarter has positioned the business well for further success as we entered the third quarter, which is traditionally a high demand quarter for the products. Revenues for the six months of the fiscal year to date were $14.4 million for the Natroba products. Additionally, the Natroba business generated gross profit of $6.6 million and gross margin of 86% when excluding non-cash adjustments. As I had mentioned on our previous earnings calls, we have completed the acquisition of the business from legacy arrangements that were in place at the time of acquisition, the results of which continue to benefit the business in Q2 2025 with this strong growth gross margin result. As we previously outlined in our first quarter earnings call, our growth strategy related to Natrova continues to be fourfold. Number one, building the business in the US where studies have shown permethrin-based products are no longer effective due to the resistance issues. Secondly, add complementary products to the U.S. sales platform through in-licensing, co-promote agreements, or acquisition. Thirdly, launch Netroba in Canada through our existing Canadian infrastructure. And lastly, Outlicense the product globally as a resistance issue is not unique to North America, but rather a global issue. In the first area of our strategy, we announced during the quarter in April that the state of Illinois made Netroba the preferred product of choice given its one-dose complete cure for scabies, and whereby the incumbent treatment, permethrin 5%, is now non-preferred under Medicaid. We are continuing to work with various states to look to build upon this favorable development in Illinois, as we have a large number of Medicaid reimbursement arrangements across the U.S. On the second prong of our strategy, adding complementary products to the U.S. sales platform, we are making progress in identifying these products and have entered into negotiations with a number of potential opportunities. With respect to the third area of our strategy, launching Netroba in Canada, during the second quarter, we continue to make progress on preparations for our submission to Health Canada for approval of Netroba. And based on these activities, we intend to make our new drug submission in the fourth quarter of 2025. We believe Netroba will fill an unmet need in Canada for a highly effective treatment of head lice and scabies. and we will continue to provide updates as developments occur with respect to the launching of Natroba in Canada. For the fourth area of our strategy, we are also continuing to pursue opportunities for Natroba globally, as we have mentioned in past earnings calls. We continue to believe there is a high unmet need for a highly effective product like Natroba to address lice and scabies indications in other territories globally, with the product being particularly well suited for warm climate regions. As we have said previously, business development activities take time and may or may not come to realization as we believe it is important to find the right fit for out-licensing of Natrova. Therefore, we continue to exercise patience in this area of our strategy to ensure we are executing on opportunities that will provide growth for Cypher. As developments occur with respect to out-licensing of Natrova globally, we will continue to provide updates. Turning now to our base business, consisting of the Canadian product portfolio and the U.S. licensing portfolio, revenues and earnings were higher than a year ago, and the business continues to deliver reliable results and cash generation. Total revenues of $5.6 million. from our base business of Canadian product revenue and U.S. licensing revenue were $0.3 million or 6% higher than the second quarter of 2025, sorry, 2024. Growth in our Canadian-based product sales were partially offset by declines in licensing revenue. As Ryan Mailing will describe in more detail in his remarks, Revenue from the Canadian product portfolio was 0.4 or 12% higher, sorry, 0.4 million or 12% higher than the same quarter a year ago. The U.S. licensing business experienced a decline of 0.1 million or 9%, contributed to by lower royalty revenues resulting from lower sales volumes and net sales. net revenues realized by our licensing partner due to generic competition, including new generic entrance to the market associated with the products in the U.S., which was combined with lower royalty rates. The decline in licensing revenue associated with royalties was partially offset by increased shipments in the quarter compared to the same quarter last year. as Cypher earns revenue from supplying products to our distribution partners. Adjusted EBITDA from the base business was 3.2 million for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of 4% from the same quarter last year, and continues to be a reliable source of cash flow. I also want to highlight our total adjusted EBITDA of $7.6 million for the second quarter of 2025, and $13.8 million for the year to date. Included in the adjusted EBITDA for the year to date are one-time legal costs of $1.2 million associated with defending our product portfolio through a contractual arbitration process. We continue to await a decision from the arbitrator. However, we believe it was prudent to defend our base business through the contractual mechanisms available to us and await the outcome of this process. Lastly, as our operations continue to be a reliable source of cash generation, we will further demonstrate our track record of strong capital allocation going forward. Consistent with our existing approach to managing capital and our business strategy, we will be using our available cash as well as future cash generated from the business in a balanced approach in the following areas. Number one, Repurchases of our common share through our normal course issuer bid. Secondly, repay portions of the debt outstanding on our revolving credit facility. And continue to focus on accretive acquisitions to deliver strong shareholder returns. Finally, I'd like to highlight that we remain very active in continuing to pursue other strategic business development opportunities. with a particular focus on U.S.-based opportunities, including acquiring or in-licensing products that are complementary to our existing portfolio and company acquisitions that are either creative or that have a specific strategic purpose. We continue to be focused on identifying, evaluating, and pursuing various business development opportunities, and we are in active discussions with various partners. However, as we have said before, these discussions do take time and the opportunities may or may not come to realization, but we will continue to provide updates as developments occur. We will continue to be selective in our approach to pursuing these opportunities to ensure that we are executing on the right opportunities, as we successfully demonstrated with our Natroba acquisition only a year ago. Thank you again for joining us today. and I look forward to answering your questions after our prepared remarks. I will now pass the call over to our CFO, Ryan Mailing. Please go ahead, Ryan.
Thanks, Craig, and good morning, everyone. Craig mentioned at the beginning of today's call, all amounts provided are expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted. Today, Cipher Pharmaceuticals is reporting results from the company's second quarter and year-to-date 2025 report. The three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025. Total net revenue for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 was $13.4 million and $25.4 million, respectively. Net revenue for the second quarter of 2025 increased by $8.1 million, or 152%, compared to the same quarter in the prior year. Net revenue for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, 2025 increased by 14.2 million or 127% over the same period in 2024. The increases were largely attributable to the addition of the Netroba business at the end of July 2024, combined with increased revenue from our Canadian product portfolio in the current year. Product revenue from the Netroba business, which is comprised of the brand Netroba and its authorized generic spinosad, was $7.8 million and $14.4 million, respectively, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025, representing a significant portion of the total increase in product revenue, as I just described. Product revenue from the Canadian product portfolio for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025, was $4.1 million and $8.7 million, respectively. Canadian product portfolio revenue of $4.1 million increased by $0.4 million, or 12%, for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $3.7 million in the second quarter of 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, product revenue for the Canadian portfolio of $8.7 million represented an increase of $1.7 million, or 26%, compared to $7 million in the same period of the prior year. As the sales for our Canadian product portfolio are denominated in Canadian dollars, when translated on a constant currency basis, Canadian product portfolio revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was impacted by changes in the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar. The impact was nominal for the second quarter of 2025. When translated on a constant currency basis, Canadian product portfolio revenue increased by $2 million, representing an increase of 30% over the six months ended June 30th, 2024. The products comprising our Canadian product portfolio benefited from increased sales volumes for the three and six months ended June 30th, 2025, compared to the same periods in the prior year, contributing to the overall increase in revenue. Moving on to our US licensing revenue, total licensing revenue for the three and six months ended June 30th, 2025, was $1.5 million and $2.2 million, respectively. Licensing revenue decreased by $0.1 million and $2 million, respectively, for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in 2024. The overall licensing revenue of $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2025 represented a 9% decrease compared to $1.6 million in the same quarter of 2024. The decrease is due to the Absorca portfolio in the U.S., which contributed $1 million of licensing revenue in the second quarter of 2025, a decrease of $0.1 million when compared to $1.1 million of revenue for the same quarter in 2024. The decline in the Absorca portfolio licensing revenue resulted from lower royalty revenue contributed to by lower sales volumes in net sales realized by our distribution partner, on which Cypher earns a net sales royalty, combined with lower contractual royalty rates year over year. However, the decrease in royalty revenue on the Azorca portfolio was partially offset by higher product shipments by 0.4 million during the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same quarter last year, whereby we earned revenue from supplying product to the distribution partner. Overall licensing revenue for the six months ended June 30th, 2025 was 2.2 million, compared to $4.2 million for the same period in the prior year, representing a 48% decrease. The decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was contributed to by the Absorica portfolio and LipoFin, including the authorized generic. Licensing revenue from Absorica was $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 56%, when compared to the same period in the prior year. Revenue from Absorica for the six-month period was impacted by a year-over-year decline in product shipments, on which we earned revenue from supplying the product to our partner. The decline in the Absorica portfolio licensing revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was also impacted by lower royalty revenue contributed to by lower sales volumes and net sales realized by our distribution partner, on which we earned a net sales royalty. This was further contributed to by lower contractual royalty rates year-over-year. Market share for Absorica and the authorized generic of Absorica was 3% at June 30, 2025, according to Symphony Health market data, representing a decrease of 3.4% compared to 6.4% at June 30, 2024. Licensing revenue from Lipofin and the authorized generic was $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, representing a decrease of $0.3 million compared to the same period in the prior year. Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were $4.1 million and $9 million, respectively. Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2025 of $4.1 million represented an increase of $2.5 million compared to the same quarter in the prior year. The increase was primarily attributable to the incremental selling, general, and administrative expenses from the acquired Netroba business. Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the six months end of June 30, 2025 of $9 million increased by $5.9 million compared to the same period in the prior year. Increase is attributable to the additional selling, general, and administrative expenses from the acquired Nitroba business of $4.8 million as well as $1.2 million in one-time legal costs associated with defending our product through a contractual arbitration process. Net income for the three months ended June 30th, 2025 was $5.9 million or $0.22 per diluted common share compared to $3 million or $0.12 per diluted common share for the same period in the prior year. Net income for the six months ended June 30th, 2025 was $8.5 million or $0.32 per diluted common share compared to $7.9 million or $0.32 per diluted common share for the same period in 2024. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was adversely impacted by the previously mentioned $1.2 million in one-time legal costs associated with the contractual arbitration process, as well as $0.8 million of non-cash fair value adjustments associated with inventory acquired in the Netrova acquisition that were recognized in cost of products sold during the period. Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months period ended June 30, 2025, with $7.6 million and $13.8 million, respectively, compared to the $3.1 million and $6.6 million, respectively, for the same periods ended June 30, 2024. This represents an increase of 148% and 108%, respectively, for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025, when compared to the same periods in 2024. The increase in adjusted EBITDA was mainly driven by the previously mentioned addition of the Netroba business, and growth of our Canadian product portfolio, which is partially offset by declines experienced in our U.S. licensing revenue. The company had $11.3 million in cash and $25 million in debt as of the end of the second quarter of 2025. The company continues to generate meaningful free cash flow from operations, with $6 million in operating cash flow during the second quarter of 2025 and $10.2 million generated from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025. During the second quarter of 2025, CIFR allocated $15 million of its accumulated cash to make a repayment on its revolving credit facility and utilized an additional $2.1 million of accumulated cash for repurchases of common shares under our normal course issuer bid. Subsequent to the second quarter of 2025, on August 6, 2025, Cypher further allocated a portion of the cash it has accumulated from free cash flows to make an additional repayment of $7 million on the outstanding balance of our revolving credit facility. Accordingly, after making this payment, the company now has a reduced debt balance of $18 million outstanding on its revolving credit facility. With the strong performance from Cypher's Netroba business combined with Cypher's base business, particularly its Canadian product portfolio, performing well, The overall business continues to have meaningful cash generation. During and subsequent to the quarter, we demonstrated effective allocations of our capital, returning capital to the shareholders through the normal course issuer bid, and further delivering the balance sheet with two debt repayments totaling $22 million. We also retained the availability of financing due to the revolving nature of our credit facility, whereby after making these debt repayments, CIFRA has $47 million of financing available plus a 25 million accordion option, which in total is 72 million of total potential financing available. Accordingly, with Cypher's strong cash generation from operations and available financing, the company continues to be well positioned to execute on further growth opportunities to provide further value for our shareholders. We'll now open the call up to questions.
Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, we will now begin the question and answer session. Should you have a question, please press star, followed by the one on your touchtone phone. You will hear a prompt that your hand has been raised. Should you wish to decline from the polling process, please press star, followed by the two. If you are using a speakerphone, please lift the handset before pressing any keys. One moment, please, for your first question. Your first question comes from Andre Uden with Research Capital. Your line is now open.
Thank you, operator. Hi, Craig, Brian, and Ryan. I have a few questions. Do you know what the annual sales of permethrin are in Canada, roughly?
Hey, Andre, it's Brian. We haven't really done an analysis on permethrin, obviously, because it's a generic product. the sales level of it, we don't believe would necessarily be indicative of what we would be able to take once we bring Netrova to Canada.
You also mentioned on some of this on the call, but how are your out licensing discussions going for Netrova? And I know it's always hard to predict business development, but do you think we should begin to expect these licensing agreements in 2026?
That's possible, Andre. It's Craig here. We've got lots of interested parties. I think the main issue there is what can we sell the product for in other jurisdictions? And that's something we've had a lot of focus on. We're also monitoring what is going on with this the Trump administration's plan or discussions around most favored nation pricing. So we don't want to get trapped into that by entering into an agreement where we're selling the product at a substantially lower price in another country and then being subject to this most favored nation concept. So things are going well. We definitely have lots of interest from various countries and a number of different pharmaceutical companies that specialize in this area. And I would say that it's likely that we will have an agreement in place by the end of 2026 for certain.
And you also mentioned a little bit of this on the call, but if you could just elaborate a little bit more. outside of Illinois, how are the preferred step-through status discussions going for Medicaid in terms of NETROVA?
Hey, Andre.
Usually we get the opportunity to get in front of each state Medicaid. I think as you're aware, the way that that is administered on a state-by-state basis, and they have the term they call You've seen one Medicaid plan in a state. You've seen one Medicaid plan. So they all operate differently. Our best opportunity to have that discussion with them is when the contracts come up for a bid, a renewal. So most of them will typically they come up for renewal annual or biannual. So it's at that time that we submit it. And here's an example of a strategy is, you know, you You work with them to renew the contract. There's sizable volume and demand for the product in the state, so they want to keep it on. Clearly, we would negotiate a price increase or some type of an increase. They try and cram down on that increase. So one of the areas that we're giving an opportunity is saying, well, here would be your price. You call it an abnormal bid renewal, but also here's your price if you if you want to consider making our product the single preferred on the formulary, like Illinois. So that's how we're going about that strategy. So it's not just as easy as kind of, I want to say, just kind of knocking on the door to ask about it. The best time to do it is in the bid renewal process.
Thanks, Brian. That's useful. And that's it for me.
Andre, just back to your first question about the size of the market for permethrin in Canada. In Canada, both 1% and 5% permethrin are OTC products. And it's difficult to get that type of data on these products because they're OTC. But from our estimates, the market is probably in the range of $10 million Canadian.
Your next question comes from Doug Lowe with Lead Financial.
Your line is now open.
Yeah, thanks, operator, and good morning, gents. Congratulations on the strong need of that quarter and the control of the quarter. I just want to follow up on Andre's line of questioning about your preferred drug listing status across the U.S. Illinois is one of 50 states. And, you know, presumably you could pursue that similar listing in the other 49 states. But just if you could just kind of quantify what the lift in the trouble revenue could be from seeking out such listings in other states. I mean, for example, we're not actually aware of what other states you might already have preferred drug listing already in place. So maybe just kind of quantify what the what the potential revenue opportunity could be from sort of enhancing your Medicaid reimbursement status in comparison to what it currently is across the entire national platform.
Thanks, Doug.
Thanks for the question and for calling in today. The way that I would approach the question is it's less about kind of on a state-by-state basis, but if you say, you know, the market, has got, call it a third of it, call it 30% is Medicaid, and then what does 5% permethrin have? It's probably the 5% permethrin's total market share at the 30%, and then that would be nationwide. And then as we add then, you know, states moving them off of the preferred versus non-preferred based on the relative size of the state, that's probably the way I think about or quantifying it. I think we've put out there what our market share versus 5% permethrin's market share is.
Yeah, fair enough. Okay, that's good context. Thanks, Brian. And then shifting gears a little bit to your existing pipeline, independent of future licensing deals. I mean, certainly noticed during your last month and last conference call that Canfeet now has capital to fund a pivotal facely plaque psoriasis trial with Piquadetazon, and the details for that trial are now in the public domain. Just wondered if you had any recent conversations with Canfeet and how that what the status of that trial is. We haven't seen them announce their first patient enrolled or anything with timelines to date, sort of mid to late 2028. We just wonder if that public information conforms with your notions based on conversations with them.
Yeah, we haven't got a lot of information on how the existing trial is going. And I know that we have another call scheduled next week with them. We believe that it's going quite well. I mean, we were quite surprised to see them raise that type of money. I think it was in the range of $75 million, if I'm correct. So I think that they've got the funds to complete the work that they need to do. We hope to get a more wholesome update this coming week.
Fair enough. That's it for me. Thanks, Greg.
Your next question comes from Justin Keywood with Stiefel. Your line is now open.
Good morning. Exceptional quarter and nice to see the integration activities start to pay off. So just on the Nitrova market share, 25% versus the incumbent 75%. I believe that's been relatively stable. I realize the integration activities are pretty early, but has there been any market share gains? And how should we look at that going into next year?
It's been pretty steady, you're right, Justin. So, I mean, a lot of it was we integrated the business, focused in a lot of making sure that we renew state Medicaid like we were talking about with the other questions. And we've had the ability to negotiate on price. So we have had some price benefits. I still see us being able to get, there's more opportunities ahead of us on pricing. An example is that the products haven't had any price increases historically for a period of time, and we think that there's some opportunity there. That's going to be limited by some of the contractual arrangements with Medicaid. You can't, you know, those are set. So, one of the areas I would say is we do plan on taking market share and gaining market share from a volume perspective. So, I think in the single digits is achievable, but we also have that lever on price where It's kind of unusual when you acquire a product that hasn't seen price increases over a period of time. A lot of times a seller will actually pump up price just before they offload it in order to make it look good, whereas that didn't occur with our product and we have some opportunity there. So there's a couple levers there.
I understand a few dynamics to consider. Has there been any type of analysis on potentially increasing sales and marketing to increase the market share and what that ROI could be, or is it still early on in the integration activities?
Yeah, in full transparency, one of the things that we're taking a look at is trying to think about the business model. So it has what you call a bit of a traditional model where we have sales reps both outside and inside reps managing a lot of, you know, call it business development and growth. We also think that there's other avenues to go to market such as, you know, quite clearly for a head laced product, a lot of your competition are pharmacy aisle, OTC type products. So we see an area where we can invest in a bit of a direct to consumer channel. And that's going to be something that obviously if you do that, it's a lot more measurable from an ROI perspective. You know, you always ask the very – it's always a difficult question because sometimes when you invest in a marketing activity, the ROI, trying to figure out the ROI on that is very difficult. Whereas this one, you know, we would be able to measure very tightly. So, for example, if you had a platform that, you know, People out there or struggling families need to get our product quickly. We have a channel that can distribute that. Say online, you're able to measure how many click-throughs, how many people come through your system, what's your ROI on that. So that's something that we're going to be taking a look at in order to contribute to our growth in the future. Because we think it just makes sense based on the nature of the product. in the acute nature because when you need it, you really, you know, you need it desperately.
And just to add, Justin, to Brian's comments, the company really in the product, you know, has an overall market share of about 25%, as you indicated, in the anti-parasitic market. But if you drill down a little further, you know, we have a much higher percentage of the head lice market but a relatively low percentage of the scabies market. And that's an area that we've focused on. We think that we can increase the share in that particular category significantly. And to do that, we need to make sure that we have good Medicare coverage. And Brian and his team has been working hard on that. And I think it will open up what effectively is a relatively new market for Natroba.
Absolutely. Lots of levers to potentially pull there. Just moving on to capital allocation, very strong, the leveraging in the quarter and subsequent. Just with the balance sheet where it is, are you able to describe the capital allocation priorities of M&A, share buybacks or further debt repayment?
Yeah. Just I'll add something then, Ryan, you can add as well. Yeah, we're generating a lot of cash. You know, we have this $65 million revolver in place that we can access at any time. So, you know, without an acquisition that is, you know, close, like near term, we felt it best to pay down that debt, reduce our interest expense, still have the availability of the $65 million. to draw upon at any time. Obviously, our top priority is acquisition, which would involve in licensing as well. And beyond that, we've got kind of a balanced approach of buying back stock through the NCIB or through bulk purchases and paying down our debt. And I think that we'll continue to do that. When the right acquisition comes along, we will draw on the $65 million. And if we need additional financing, then we'll seek that out at that time.
Great. Thank you for taking my questions. Thanks, Justin. Ladies and gentlemen, as a reminder, should you have a question, please press star 1. There are no further questions at this time. I will now turn the call over to Craig Moe for closing remarks.
Thank you. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank our U.S. team, led by Brian Jacobs, our U.S. president, for a great performance this quarter. Congratulations and much appreciated. Please keep up the good work. We look forward to recording our next quarter and our continued progress in meeting CIFR's objectives. Thanks for joining us today.
Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes your conference call for today. We thank you for participating and ask that you please disconnect your lines.
