Interim Report First Quarter 2020
STENOCARE A/S (“STENOCARE”) today announces its results for the period 01.01.2020 – 31.03.2020. The report is available on www.stenocare.com/investor-relations.
Thomas Skovlund Schnegelsberg, CEO of STENOCARE, comments: “Financially, the Q1-20 result was expected because of our pause in sales of products. We run a lean and agile operation that has been adapted to handle the current situation. In February, STENOCARE was honoured to be identified as a European leader in medical cannabis and a company to watch by the leading medical cannabis analyst’ Prohibition Partners. Adding to this encouraging news, Q1-20 also marked the beginning of the end of the temporary pause in sales (since July-19) of our branded products to patients in Denmark and beyond. Products from our new supplier Panaxia are now undergoing the process of being approved for the market. That is a good feeling. Last, but not least, I am pleased to confirm that – despite recent covid19 turbulence – STENOCARE remains very much intact, determined and ambitious about our business. We have cash in the bank and a Danish market that is impatiently awaiting the reintroduction of our products. With our ambitious STENOCARE 2.0 strategy, that is designed to convert our early market leadership into real international leadership in the European medical cannabis industry, we think we are in a strong position to capture the growth opportunity that is in front of us.”
