MONTREAL, Sept. 12, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Theratechnologies Inc. (Theratechnologies) (TSX: TH) is pleased to announce that it has been recognized as 137th fastest growing Canadian companies over the last five years according to the 2019 Growth 500 ranking released today by Canadian Business and Maclean’s.
The Growth 500 ranking is based on declared revenues over the last five completed fiscal years. For 2018, its last completed fiscal year, Theratechnologies reported revenues of
CA$ 58,533,000 compared to revenues of CA$ 7,553,000 in fiscal year 2013. This represents a 675 percent growth over the last five completed fiscal years.
“We have every reason to be proud of this recognition. Over the last five years, we have turned this Company around. This is just the beginning as we pursue our goal of becoming a significant player among commercial-stage biopharmaceutical companies,” said Luc Tanguay, President and Chief Executive Officers, Theratechnologies Inc.
“Given the continued growth of our two commercialized products, the development of tesamorelin for NASH in people living with HIV and of the promising sortilin receptor specific oncology platform, we have given ourselves the tools to remain among the fastest growing Canadian companies,” added Luc Tanguay.
