ORLANDO, FL / ACCESSWIRE / September 8, 2022 / Nutriband Inc. (NASDAQ:NTRB), a developer of transdermal pharmaceutical products, today announced financial and operational results for the second quarter ended July 31, 2022.

Key Highlights:

• Generated record quarterly revenue of $0.5 million, up 113% over Q2 2021
• Revenue for six-months ended July 31, 2022 up 44% year-over-year
• Received favorable final court judgment, related to a previously rescinded acquisition in 2017; the ruling enabled the Company to cancel the 1.2 million shares ( 1.4M shares when adjusted for 7 for 6 forward split), representing 15% of Nutriband's outstanding shares at the time, held by the defendants. The court judgement is binding and cannot be appealed.
• Continued to expand AVERSA™ intellectual property portfolio with patents now issued in 45 countries; AVERSA™ patent coverage includes the U.S., Canada, Europe, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Australia, and Russia, with patents pending in China
• The Company's Active Intelligence LLC subsidiary registered with FDA as a medical device manufacturer for its AI Tape, a kinesiology tape product

"Revenues from our Pocono Pharmaceuticals segment continue to grow, providing a solid foundation for Nutriband as we continue to move our lead Aversa™ Fentanyl product through our development pipeline," commented Gareth Sheridan, CEO of Nutriband. "According to the assessment by Health Advances, AVERSA Fentanyl could reach peak annual sales of between $80 to $200 million. If the entire transdermal fentanyl market moves toward abuse deterrent patches, similar to what occurred in the extended-release oral opioid market, the potential could be significantly greater. I want to thank our shareholders for their ongoing support as we continue to execute on our vision of commercializing our innovative transdermal abuse deterrent technology."

Revenue for the three-months ended July 31, 2022 was $0.5 million, up 113% from revenue of $0.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022. Revenue growth was driven primarily by increasing demand for the Company's Pocono Pharmaceuticals segment.
