Paragon Pharmacies Limited (TSX VENTURE:PGN) ("Paragon" or "the Company") today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended November 30, 2011. "The first quarter gross profit improved as a result of the continued redevelopment of the Company's retail programs and more favorable supply agreements. Management continues to focus on revenue growth opportunities within all areas of the business and strengthening cost control measures to ensure the Company remains on track to increase EBITDA in fiscal 2012." said R. Gordon Gooding, Chief Executive Officer. Revenue for the three month period was $18.981 million compared to $19.478 million in the same period last year. Comparable store pharmacy revenue was down 3.7% impacted mainly by reductions in generic drug prices due to regulatory reform implemented in British Columbia. Front store revenue, excluding post office and other revenue, increased by 3.2% with a continued focus on strengthening the Company's merchandising and promotional offerings. Gross profit for the three month period was $7.780 million compared to $7.714 million in the same period last year. Pharmacy margins as a percentage of revenue increased 1.8% in the first quarter compared to the same period last year. Front store margins as a percentage of revenue increased 0.7% in the first quarter compared to the same period last year. EBITDA was $0.753 million for the three months ended November 30, 2011 compared to $0.785 million in the same period last year, a decrease of $0.032 million or 4.1%. In addition to the downward pressure on revenue which was offset by strengthening gross margin, the Company experienced a modest increase in operating and corporate costs. The net loss for the first quarter was $0.507 million, compared to $0.765 million in the same period last year, a decrease in the net loss of $0.258 million or 33.7%. This decrease in the net loss is primarily due to a reduction in depreciation and amortization and net finance costs. The pharmacy industry continues to face ongoing regulatory change which will alter the way generic drugs are priced. The Company's assessment of these changes is more fully described in Management's Discussion & Analysis for the first quarter ended November 30, 2011 in the section entitled Regulatory Changes That Impact the Company's Industry. The Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for the three month period ended November 30, 2011 are available at the Investor Relations section of Paragon's website at www.helloparagon.com or under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
