Sangui BioTech:
- Revenues of USD 54,000 in the first half-year;
- Granulox license income increased by 54%.
Witten, January 19, 2018,
According to preliminary unaudited figures, Sangui BioTech International Inc. achieved revenues in the amount of approximately USD 54,000 from license fees in the first half year of fiscal 2018 (as of December 31, 2017). Due to increased revenues of the wound spray Granulox, the resulting licensing income in the first half year increased by 54% compared to the same period of the previous year. It is gratifying that not only a strong year-end business contributed to this development. Rather, sales in all four quarters of the 2017 calendar year were significantly higher than in the previous year.
"On the one hand, the positive development in 2017 is based on the fact that our distribution partners can increasingly establish Granulox in their markets. In more and more territories, the frequency and the level of orders show that Granulox can gain a foothold in the respective markets. For example, the successes of our Dutch partners can be cited here. Since obtaining reimbursement in 2016, volumes sold in the Netherlands have significantly exceeded those originally planned. On the other hand, the cooperation entered into with the Zuellig Group for Southeast Asia in mid-2016 is extremely gratifying. We are excited about the professionalism with which our Asian partners approach this project. This concerns both their approval strategy for the individual states as well as the respective marketing and sales concepts, which were implemented as planned in 2017. For 2018, the market launch of Granulox in the first Asian countries is planned. This will further increase the volume of business achieved with Zuellig. Due to these developments, we expect to see a significant increase in total sales of Granulox for the calendar year 2018 ", explains Michael Sander, Managing Director of SastoMed GmbH, to which Sangui BioTech GmbH has licensed the worldwide distribution rights for the wound spray Granulox.
