Sigma Healthcare Ltd
SIG
Company Profile
Business description
Sigma Healthcare is an Australian pharmaceutical distributor, wholesaler and pharmacy franchisor. The revenue growth prospects and returns of pharmaceutical distribution are subdued due to ongoing Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, or PBS, price reform, and regulated wholesale gross margins being capped at 7% for community pharmacy. As a result, Sigma and its competitors are seeking to expand into unregulated revenue streams. In addition, pharmacy ownership is restricted to pharmacists, thereby excluding direct corporate ownership and requiring exposure via a franchise business model.
