Revenue: For the quarter ended September 30, 2021 revenues increased by $28,101 or 62% compared to the same prior year period. On a constant currency basis, revenues increased by $27,378 or 62%. The growth in revenues on a constant currency basis is explained as following:

  • An estimated increase in revenues of approximately $9,200 to $11,500 driven by the increased demand of certain of our infectious diseases products to treat invasive fungal infections associated with COVID-19. Of this amount, Knight estimates approximately $3,200 to $4,200 was not utilized during the quarter.
  • An increase in revenues of $9,905 driven by the acquisition of Exelon®.
  • An increase in revenues of $6,047 or 76%, from $7,918 to $13,965, 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 September 30, 2021 gross margin increased from 43% to 51% explained by a change in product mix, lower inventory provision recorded in Q3-21 compared to Q3-20 offset by the re-negotiation of certain license agreements and the depreciation of the LATAM currencies. The gross margin would have been 54%, an increase of 3%, from 51% after excluding the adjustment of hyperinflation accounting in accordance with IAS 29.

Selling and marketing: For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, selling and marketing increased by $2,227 or 29% and on a constant currency basis by $2,165 or 29% as compared to the same prior year period. Excluding, the allowance for expected credit losses, S&M increased by $1,857 or 25% due to increase in certain variable costs such as distribution and compensation as well as an increase in selling and marketing activities related to product launches and Exelon®.

General and administrative: For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, general and administrative expenses decreased by $2,072 or 19% and on a constant currency basis by $1,814 or 18% as compared to the same period in prior year. Excluding the non-recurring costs incurred in Q3-20 related to the Unified Tender Offer of $3,490, G&A increased by $1,676 or 17%. The increase is driven by an increase in the variable compensation and certain professional fees.

Amortization of intangible assets: For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, amortization of intangible assets increased by $5,496, or 96%, 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 September 30, 2021, interest income was $1,402, a decrease of $1,786 or 56%, 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 September 30, 2021 interest expenses was $959, an increase of $137 or 17% compared to the same period in the prior year due to higher interest rates.

Adjusted EBITDA: For the quarter ended September 30, 2021 adjusted EBITDA increased by $13,118 or 311% and on a constant currency basis by $13,637 or 369%, compared to Q3-20. The growth in adjusted EBITDA is driven by an increase in gross of margin of $17,901 offset by an increase in operating expenses adjusted for acquisition and transaction costs as well as non-recurring expenses.

Net loss or income: For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, net loss was $8,586 compared to net income of $17,492 for the same period last year. The variance mainly resulted from the above-mentioned items as well as a net loss on the revaluation of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss of $21,301 in the third quarter of 2021 versus a net gain of $12,873 in the prior year period mainly due to unrealized losses and gains on revaluation of the strategic fund investments.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities: As at September 30, 2021, Knight had $156,029 in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, a decrease of $236,196 or 60% 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 loans offset by cash generated from operating activities.

Financial assets: As at September 30, 2021, financial assets were at $189,743, a decrease of $4,212 or 2%, as compared to the prior period, mainly due to an increase of $17,063 due to mark-to-market adjustments offset by decrease of 16,652 due to net distributions in Knight's fund investments, loan repayments of $2,494 and disposal of equity investments of $2,624 during the period. Given the nature of the fund investments there could be significant fluctuations in the fair value of the underlying assets. During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded an unrealized loss of $20,629, as a result of the share price decrease of Singular Genomics Systems, Inc. (“SGS”), an investment held within Domain Associated LLC. Should the share price of SGS remain at this level, the Company would record a life to date unrealized gain of approximately $12,929 [USD 10,550] on this investment.

Bank Loans: As at September 30, 2021, bank loans were at $36,328, a decrease of $15,442 or 30% as compared to the prior period, mainly due to loan repayment of $14,911.

Product Updates

On September 22, 2021, Knight entered into a definitive agreement with Incyte Biosciences International Sàrl, for the exclusive rights to distribute tafasitamab (sold as Monjuvi® in the United States and Minjuvi® in Europe) and pemigatinib (Pemazyre®) in Latin America. Under the terms of the agreement Knight will be responsible for seeking the necessary regulatory approvals and distributing both products in Latin America.

Knight expects to submit tafasitamab and pemigatinib in key LATAM countries in the second half of 2022.

NCIB

During the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021, the Company purchased 2,963,022 and 7,844,438 common shares for $15,361 and $40,907, respectively.

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-GAAP 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 income (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 three and nine-month periods ended September 30, the Company calculated EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as follows:
