I'm pleased to report that with the quarter ended June so to your Twentytwenty reported revenues of $50.3 million, an increase of $15 million, all 1562 per cent compared to the same period last year.

Mainly due to unrealized gains on revaluation of the strategic fund investments.

In addition, we recorded in that game on demand, that's we tend to offer or.

Your first question comes from David from Martin Your line is open.

Hi, good morning, congratulations on the good quarter. Our first question in Brazil, you had some shipments that were supposed to occur in Q1 that moved into Q2 I I'm wondering how much of any impact how big were those orders in Q2.

We didn't we we don't usually provide.

The kind of the does shift that happened, but it explains a better if the growth that we have.

Okay.

You are talking.

Okay. I'm also in Q1, you mentioned several things slow down in new cancer diagnoses and slow down in the use of other hospital drugs also the impact to cool bid on your Crystal ball launches in various countries and your integration of GBT I Wonder.

And if any of those issues normalized at all or you still feel like a full impact.

So throughout the market.

We there is a slowdown.

Well, we're seeing there.

In all of the markets it really depends very it's dependent on a market by market.

And the [laughter] be certain.

Certainly like certain treatments are continuing depending on the market. We have some products that are in the retail we have some products at our institutional and specialty and depending on the product it depending on the product or their territory and the level of shutdown, we're seeing a different response.

There is slow pick up but similar to <unk>. This is not just a night or GBT impact you you're seeing this through throughout the industry, where fewer patients are going in.

And fewer diagnoses are happening we are seeing that in oncology, we are seeing that a little bit and we're seeing that also in cytology, but.

The our sales teams our medical teams are continuing to deliver the message digitally in most smart in all markets.

And it varies interest in the products. It's just it is going to take time to normalize stock.

Okay, and what what about your integration of GBT have you been able to accelerate thought process.

We're continuing to work really hard [laughter], both here and in South America, everybody's really focused on execution.

The teams are looking at things like basic stuff like systems and processes, where things are slowly starting to advance and and integration is on multiple fronts and multiple teams and.

Things are starting to come together, but this is this is going to be a long process over the next still over the next few months.

And he is adding products to the portfolio kind of art in the background until the integrations finished or are you looking about a in parallel.

Absolutely not tell I'm going to ask them all but.

But her priority is really to us.

Yeah, no absolutely David it. So we spent the B D never never took the backseat, it's always been front and center and we we haven't at all de prioritized yourself working we're actually.

We've been quite busy hone in on the P.D. front from a you know even from as soon as because the first the private transaction within a we've been active.

Are you seeing opportunities, where you'll be able to get products for both Canada and South Central America.

Yes.

Okay, and then last question Charles Star, a mature product that hadnt been promoted to have you started to see a positive impact on sales of the product now that you've started promoting up.

Absolutely.

Yeah. It is a little bit too early because it was in the middle of Q2.

We've we've had really good interactions with physicians that it's a little too early to tell I remember at this point any and all of those interactions are all virtual.

Okay.

Okay. Thank you.

Again, if anybody would like to ask a question. Please press star one on your telephone keypad.

Again, if anybody would like to ask a question. Please press star one on your telephone keypad. Your next question comes from Justin Key word from Stifel. Your line is open.

Hi, good morning, and thanks for taking my call I was just wondering if there's any type of a pandemic car relief program that contributed to the.

Profit in the quarter and if that's an opportunity in the near term.

Hi, just no Oh, we I I assume you're you're talking about things like government grants.

Correct that we would have taken advantage of so.

The I think they and we did look at this early on.

The only market that is providing any of the ones that we're working in it that is providing pandemic releases in Canada, and we wouldn't be eligible.

And the rest of this is really a continued work by the teams on executing.

Okay understood and then but just a bit of a broader a question just as far as business development opportunities. You know obviously the business is more focused and intellect and is Canada. It's still a priority or are you looking at a new assets here.

Or is the you know shift you know more to the Lat am region.

Oh sure.

Yeah sure.

Well, we're looking we're looking across our territory. So we're looking at opportunities for Canada and lifetime ideally, we'd like opportunities for the entire territory, but we remain flexible for some opportunities that may either only be available for one versus the other or me.

Have a better fit and one portfolio versus the other but we are we continue to look for opportunities in Canada as well as lifetime.

Okay, and I know Mexico.

Well its mentioned as a you know, possibly a good opportunity to.

Increase that exposure of GBT, but obviously there are having some challenges there was the cobot 19 outbreak has that changed your opinion at all it as far as a potential acquisitions in the area has that delayed it or do conversations are they continuing.

Some so it hasn't really changed the interest and the importance of the Mexican market, but there has been some delays or not just for Mexico, but across the board some conversations in some process. He's had has been.

Delayed or temporarily put on hold a because of the pandemic and some conversations continue.

Okay and then just one last question just on the EBITDA or gross margins up.

Is this a good level to use a as far as modeling.

In the near term.

Neil possibly some expected improvement ahead or should we you know maybe I anticipate some some greater cost in the near term.

That's a great pleasure.

Turn it over to Arvind.

Hi.

So on the it'd be the interest as a reminder, like on the gross margin like what you see on our financial statement includes hyperinflation. So so one thing to consider is ambient the gross margin without completion and we do provide the schedule in the press release, where we showed you were smoking without concentration. So that's one thing because.

Peter.

In terms of impact to gross margin in the low to medium term.

It's it's really a multiple talk to her question and that it's quite a it's northeast we'd go into answer. So there's really three things I would consider this one is a contract renewal so as we have negotiation or when you will that contracts.

We generally would expect in the world human on margin.

The second one is FX, we do have high volatility in the last time currency and back to would create volatility into margin and deferred point to consider is your product mix. So as we launch product the euro and neither in the coming usually we will have a change in product mix industry will impact the merger so good.

An older <unk> looks like there's a paid just mentioned it's it's a it's hard to predict the gross margin and really where everyone. Let in India me Jim too.

Long term.

I believe you could look at Yep historical secretion of GBP is margin.

And if you go back in but to the last two years, it's usually pictured thing plus or minus five person when that bridge.

Only basis.

Okay. That's helpful direction I appreciate you taking my questions. Thank you.

Thank you.

Again, if anybody but like I ask a question. Please press star one on your telephone keypad.

I have no further questions. Thank you I turn the call back over the percentage for closing remarks.

Thank you for your confidence in the my team and for joining our Q2 2020 conference call.

They stay healthy they say and stay connected.

Thank you everyone. This will conclude today's conference call you may now disconnect.
