Business Update

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the healthcare service across Bangladesh, which has seen a significant reduction as visits to hospitals and clinics have declined. Beximco Pharma's priority remains to ensure the health and safety of its employees. Where possible, employees are working remotely and, at its manufacturing sites, the Company continues to enforce work practices in line with WHO and CDC guidelines.

 

Beximco Pharma is committed to continue uninterrupted supply of all essential medicines during this difficult time. To meet the growing demand for products with potential benefits for COVID-19 patients, Beximco Pharma has ramped-up production of a number of these products, including the world's first generic remdesivir. The Company will continue to introduce evidence-based treatment options that may be beneficial to COVID-19 patients, at the same time exploring global collaborations in this area.

 

However, the Company continues to experience disruption to its international distribution network and supply chain, with increasing prices for APIs. The Company is working closely with its supplier networks to review alternative sources as part of contingency planning and to ensure supply of materials at competitive prices.

 

As previously announced, as a result of Bangladesh's economic slowdown and disruption to the Company's international distribution network and supply chain, directly attributable to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Companyexpects to report year-on-year sales growth for the full year to 30 June 2020, but at a lower level than originally anticipated.The Company also expects some impact on profitability for the full year 2020. Given the ongoing uncertainties around the impact of COVID-19 on Beximco Pharma, the Company is unable to provide a longer-term view at this time.
