ASX Announcement | 4 April 2019 Althea Group Holdings (ASX:AGH)

Althea passes 500 Patient Milestone; March 2019 Quarterly Activities Statement and Appendix 4C

Investment Highlights:

  • 511 Patients have been prescribed Althea medicinal cannabis products from May 2018, with an average month-on-month increase of 146%

  • 128 Healthcare Professionals have prescribed Althea medicinal cannabis from May 2018, with an average month-on-month increase of 131%

  • Althea accrued more than 100 patients in a month for the first time

  • Unaudited sales for January to March 2019 of $182,801

  • Quarter-on-quarter sales increase of 151%

Thursday 04 April 2019: Australian medicinal cannabis company Althea Group Holdings Limited (ASX:AGH) (‘ Althea’ or ‘the Company ’) is pleased to provide the following update with regards to the uptake of its medicinal cannabis products in Australia, along with reporting on its activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

Althea surpassed its 500-patient milestone this week, following an extremely successful quarter for product sales. In addition to the patient record, unaudited sales grew by 151% quarter-on-quarter to $182,801 for the period.

Chief Executive Officer of Althea, Mr Joshua Fegan, explains “We experienced very strong growth in the recent quarter, particularly in the back half when doctors returned from their January holidays. We further expanded our Medical Science Liaison team in March, and we are already seeing great results, with the first few days of April being the best start to any month on record. Our team remains committed to educating Healthcare Professionals and supporting patient access to Althea’s pharma-grade medicinal cannabis products.”

In addition to reaching 511 patients, 128 Healthcare Professionals (HCP’s) around Australia have already prescribed Althea medicinal cannabis products. The company believes increasing the number of HCP’s utilising its Althea Concierge platform is key to significantly increasing the number of patients being prescribed medicinal cannabis in Australia.

Mr Fegan said, “ Althea Concierge has been a godsend for doctors who otherwise would not have the time, or capacity, to submit applications on behalf of patients to the TGA and their respective State office, which is required before they can prescribe medicinal cannabis. We have feedback from prescribing doctors that they are able to complete applications in fewer than 5 minutes using Althea Concierge , a far cry from the alternative application methods which can take doctors hours.”

Althea believes its proprietary Althea Concierge platform, along with its RACGP accredited medical education portal, MEDIC , is providing doctors with the tools required to quickly progress along the medicinal cannabis adoption ladder.

March 2019 Quarterly Activities Statement and Appendix 4C

Althea produced its most successful quarter to date, ending March 31, 2019, with unaudited sales revenue up 151% quarter-on-quarter. This result is despite the seasonal effect experienced in January, a time of year in which many primary care doctors take leave.

Outlook

Althea expects the quarter ending June 30, 2019, to be a defining period for the company as it pushes to improve on its recent feat of on-boarding more than 100 new patients in a month. The company has recently added more personnel to its Medical Science Liaison team, with the aim of visiting more doctors and in turn, generating more Althea medicinal cannabis prescribers.

The company is also witnessing increases in the number of multiple-patient prescribers, a positive indicator that Althea prescribers are becoming increasingly confident in treating their patients with Althea medicinal cannabis.

Althea has planned a comprehensive advertising campaign for the promotion of its medical education portal, MEDIC , and Althea Concierge through dedicated healthcare media. The campaign will commence in April and is part of Althea’s longterm strategic marketing plan.
