MELBOURNE, Australia, April 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Immuron Limited ((ASX: IMC, NASDAQ:IMRN), an Australian based and globally integrated biopharmaceutical company is pleased to announce continued sales growth (unaudited) of Travelan®, an over-the-counter immune supplement that targets pathogenic bacteria and the toxins they produce in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
Flavio Palumbo, Chief Commercial Officer said, "For the first time, Immuron has exceeded A$5 million in sales - our highest fiscal year sales ever! That is with a quarter to come. This is a fantastic result, with record sales quarter in December for Australia on the back of our travel activation program and importantly our North American business continues to produce record results ahead of the key spring summer travel period. Overall year to date sales globally is up 46% on last year. The December quarter was a record with Australian pharmacy wholesalers stocking up on the back of Immuron's expanded pharmacy banner group agreements and ahead of the peak Christmas, New Year holiday period. Wholesaler stocking impacted Australia quarterly sales to wholesalers. It did not impact ex-Wholesaler sales to pharmacies which continue to be strong. We continue to strengthen our consumer and trade program that has seen Travelan® ranked #1 by market share change, #2 by SKU and #3 by brand in the Anti-diarrheal category (IQVIA Australian Pharmacy Scan – 4 weeks to March 2025). We are on track for another record year in Australia. We have achieved record sales in both USA and Canada. The USA we continue to break record sales via our redefined direct to consumer marketing approach. In Canada we have also achieved record sales with step one of our re-launch - achieving listings in major retailers. With strong sales anticipated over the Easter, ANZAC holiday periods and spring, summer break in North America, we have great momentum to build further on this record-breaking year."
