(‘Althea’, ‘the Company’ or ‘the Licensor’) is pleased to announce that it has completed its first shipment of Althea medicinal cannabis oil products to the Company’s local partner in Germany, Nimbus Health GmbH (‘Nimbus’).

Nimbus is a leading German pharmaceutical wholesaler specialising in the import and distribution of medicinal cannabis products throughout Germany.

The initial shipment of Althea medicinal cannabis oil products valued at approximately $1,000,000 (EUR640,000) has arrived at the Nimbus facility and will be distributed through a large network of existing partnering pharmacies.

In conjunction with Nimbus, Althea will generate its own sales via new and existing customers and will not rely on third party wholesalers for repeat purchase orders.

Under the agreement, Althea will receive payment for products supplied to Nimbus, along with 50% of net profit. In addition, Althea will retain ownership of all real-world anonymized patient data collected through its industry-leading medical app, Althea Concierge[TM] .

To launch the Althea brand in Germany, Nimbus is adopting the same successful market access strategy implemented by the Company in Australia and the UK.

Germany a €7.7 billion (A$12.22 billion) market opportunity

With a population of 82.3 million and a favourable regulatory environment, Germany’s medicinal cannabis market is one of the largest in Europe.

The German medicinal cannabis market is the largest medicinal cannabis market in Europe and is anticipated to reach €7.7 billion (A$12.22 billion) by 2028.[1]

In addition, rapid patient growth is expected in the country due to both public and private health insurers typically covering the entire fee for medicinal cannabis, with current approval rates from health insurance providers upwards of 70%.[2]

With its high-quality products, proven strategy, and partnership with Nimbus, Althea believes it is ideally placed to become a market leader in Germany’s burgeoning medicinal cannabis market.

Althea CEO, Joshua Fegan said: “Successfully shipping our first products to Germany is a huge milestone for our European expansion plans and builds on the encouraging results to date from our UK operations. Germany is a key market for global medicinal cannabis and is currently underserviced in terms of high-quality medicinal cannabis oil products and the education of Healthcare Professionals. Along with exceptional patient care, these are the pillars of our business.”
