Think we need a UK retailer announcement to move this up. A little surprised we've not had one yet, but I guess SOH is busy securing the best deal. Meanwhile we'll just have to sit, wait and entertain ourselves by seeing how long it takes for Fathenry to compile a full sentence, in English :)

Below is an extract from Galenicum's 2015 press kit and it makes for good reading I think. The Galenicum project's solid reputation has translated into excellent financial results, reporting a turnover of 84 million euros in 2014. The forecast for the next two years is one of consolidation, thanks to major investments in strategic products. Turnover is expected to truly take off from 2017 as a result of the agreements reached with some of the biggest multinationals in the pharmaceutical sector.

Cheers Elrico. One thing to note. Galenicum may have double digit growth, but Galenicum Special Ingredients (who this deal is with/STOP&GO products) expected 30% growth last year according to this article I found yesterday:

Good spot Astrix - I missed it. Corrected. Thanks.

elrico :- "Galenicum, have a track record of doubt digit growth" I hope you mean double digit!

Raf, et al - Back to business and apologies for the unsavoury picture portrayed earlier. ;)

A brief exchange with SOH this morning on the subject of Galenicum.

Seemingly another potentially exciting commercial agreement with Galenicum. In the RNS its states Galenicum " has market presence across the world including the Unites States, Peru, Chile, India, and China, the company has a global reach in pharmaceutical and nutritional markets." then later states "this agreement expands OptiBiotix's sales into the Middle East and Latin America."

I assume this is a limited license and other partners are in the pipeline for USA, and Chinese markets, or some of these territories?

There are something like 30 latin American countries - Is Galenicum limited here? It also seems you are being quite deliberately cautious with your expectations in terms of revenues by bracketing Galenicum with HLH and PharmaBiota, (REVENUE RANGE) whom have a much smaller commercial footprint. This appears to have dampened the positive effect I hope for.

Per's linkedin comment is encouraging. One down on to the next. Positive chap.


SOH :- We have multiple discussions and our stated strategy is to create multiple opportunities across multiple territories and channels with different formulations and presentations. We are negotiating hard to make sure we restrict agreements to specific formulations and don’t give up territory exclusivity or access to large markets like the US and China until these partners PROVED their worth, or pay a PREMIUM. The deal with Sacco is an example where we limited their reach initially to Italy, then Europe, and then extended it once they proved themselves. This limits the companies risk and allows us to have multiple deals within a country for different formulations or presentations, creating multiple revenues.

You are correct that Gallencium has a much larger commercial footprint and has a leading position in Spain. As stated in the RNS, and outlined in our interims, our strategy is to target the leading pharma groups in their country with established brands which we can leverage to gain market access. This is quicker than having to build a new brand. You will also note that many of the companies we are working with - Sacco, Nutrilinea etc, and now Gallenicum, have a track record of double digit growth and are rapidly building their businesses, and hopefully will continue to do so on the back of LP-LDL sales.

I am sure that investors have also recognised that that this now the sixth deal since June (not all LP-LDL) which even with conservative figures will start to add build into a large revenue stream, with little increase in operating costs. This is consistent with our stated strategy. As Per indicates, one down, onto the next one. I am sure investors will also note that this is just one product amongst our portfolio.

The cautionary statements are provided by the regulator as a requirement of release in the absence of sales figure which partners are reluctant to release. To be fair this is consistent with the approach we have always taken of building long term sustainable value rather than hyping the market.

Indeed - Rafboy. I'm sure it's not what Chris intended.

[rafboy] 25/10/2017 10:42

I don't want to hear anymore about Elrico's cute ass, it's just too much!! LOL.

[monkeywench1] 25/10/2017 10:11

Keep on ramping.

[parob] 25/10/2017 09:58

Per has posted a link to yesterday's Galenicum agreement as a status update on LinkedIn with the comment: 'Another one on the way, on to the next !'
