Medipharm Labs: Canaccord Drops Target To Just $0.10

On May 16, Medipharm Labs (TSX: LABS) reported its first quarter financial results. The company reported revenues of $4.87 million, down from $5.5 million last year. While gross profits still came in negative at ($403,000), it was better than the ($680,000) a year ago.

The company also reported a slightly better net loss and adjusted EBITDA compared to a year ago. Net losses came in at $7.46 million, an improvement over the $13.87 million it reported last year, and adjusted EBITDA came in at ($5.68) million for this quarter.

Lastly, the company ended the quarter with $28.3 million in cash as the CFO, Greg Hunter, says, “MediPharm is on solid financial footing,” as the company is “materially debt-free.”

MediPharm Labs currently has 4 analysts covering the stock with an average 12-month price target of C$0.l5, which is an upside of 100%. Out of the 4 analysts, 1 has a buy rating and the other 3 analysts have hold ratings. The street high price target sits at C$0.20, or an upside of 167%.

In Canaccord’s note on the results, they reiterate their hold rating but lower their 12-month price target from C$0.20 to C$0.10, saying that MediPharm saw “top-line deceleration across all segments.” As a result, the analysts have made a “material downward” revision to their estimates in both domestic and international markets.

On the results, MediPharm reported $4.87 million in revenue, below Canaccord’s $6.09 million estimates. Canaccord says that this miss was driven by weakness in all of MediPharm’s segments in both domestic and international markets. They say that MediPharm’s Canadian adult-use revenue once again saw softness, and that it’s product line, which is more medically focused, “contributes to its inability to secure lasting market share in the adult-use segment.” MediPharm’s recreational revenue dropped 20% quarter over quarter.

They add that MediPharm’s international segments did not fare much better, as the company saw international revenues drop 8% sequentially to $1.9 million. Canaccord also believes that the company’s international segment is its core opportunity but worries since the international market have seen a >30% decline from its highs, with slowdowns in Australia and Germany seeing double-digit sequential decreases.
