HEALWELL AI Reports Record Revenue and a Healthy Balance Sheet in Q2-2024

-          HEALWELL achieved record quarterly revenue from continuing operations of $5.44 million in Q2-2024, 205% higher than the $1.78 million generated in Q2-2023 and 19% higher than the $4.58 million generated in Q1-2024.

-          HEALWELL also reported net income of $2.54 million as compared to a loss of $9.81 million in Q2 2023. This was primarily due to the successful removal and settling of a significant number of liabilities incurred in past years.

-          Management maintains a positive outlook, with HEALWELL's yearly revenue run-rate now exceeding $65 million and aiming to reach a figure that is approaching $100 million by year-end, driven by a robust M pipeline supported by its strong cash balance, including proceeds from its recent $20 million equity financing.

-          HEALWELL has now successfully launched its two-tiered business model of leveraging data science and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to support healthcare providers with co-pilot technologies and meet the needs of the pharmaceutical industry related to research and development and clinical trials orchestration.

TORONTO, ON, August 12, 2024 – HEALWELL AI Inc. (“HEALWELL” or the “Company”) (TSX: AIDX, OTCQX: HWAIF), a healthcare technology company focused on AI and data science for preventative care, is pleased to announce its condensed interim consolidated financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Dr. Alexander Dobranowski, Chief Executive Officer of HEALWELL, commented, “During the quarter, we not only delivered record revenue and profitability, but we also significantly improved our balance sheet. We successfully completed a $20 million equity financing sourced mainly from long term institutional investors as well as settled and removed a number of liabilities incurred in past years which led to a significant net profit in Q2. The combination of these two events has notably strengthened our financial position, providing us with the necessary resources to advance our strategic objectives. The enhanced financial stability enabled us to complete the acquisitions of BioPharma and VeroSource on July 1, 2024, two pivotal moves that align seamlessly with our growth strategy. These acquisitions not only broaden our market presence but also enhance our capabilities, positioning us for robust expansion and long-term success.”

Dr. Alexander Dobranowski further added, “Our robust acquisition pipeline, coupled with our strong cash position, strategically positions us for substantial growth ahead. We anticipate that our strategic initiatives will drive us to achieve a figure approaching $100 million revenue run-rate by year-end, having already exceeded $65 million. This growth is underpinned by our continued focus on ramping up physician adoption of the HEALWELL platform, accelerating the sales of our AI tools and technology, and broadening our reach within the WELL Health ecosystem. We are seeing unprecedented opportunities in healthcare data science and artificial intelligence, and we believe that our advanced AI co-pilot technology is at the forefront of this evolution. Our commitment to enhancing healthcare delivery through innovative technology remains unwavering, and we are poised to capitalize on these opportunities to drive substantial value for our stakeholders.”

Anthony Lam, Chief Financial Officer of HEALWELL, commented, “During the quarter, in addition to our successful equity financing, we received approximately $8.8 million from the exercise of in-the-money warrants, both of which significantly strengthened our balance sheet. We reduced our liabilities by $14.3 million and acquired the remaining 20% interest in MCI Polyclinic Group. All together between a reduction in liabilities and injection of new capital, we strengthened the balance sheet by $43.1 million during the quarter. We are now well-positioned to explore strategic acquisitions throughout the year from a stronger financial position. Our debt is now limited to $13.2 million in convertible debentures and loans, excluding earn-outs to acquisition partners. Our convertible debt is expected to convert into equity, potentially reducing that $13.2 million of debt to a mere $1.6 million. It should be noted that if all of the Company's outstanding in-the-money warrants were to be exercised, our cash balance would grow to approximately $45 million. With our robust financial position and reduced liabilities, we are confident in our ability to continue executing our strategic initiatives and delivering value to our stakeholders.”

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights

Significant financial highlights for the Company’s continuing operations during the three months ended June 30, 2024 included the following:

-          HEALWELL achieved quarterly revenue from continuing operations of $5.44 million in Q2-2024, 205% higher than the $1.78 million generated in Q2-2023. The growth in revenue is primarily attributed to the acquisition of Intrahealth Systems Limited (“Intrahealth”) and Pentavere Research Group (“Pentavere”).

-          HEALWELL achieved Adjusted Gross Profit(2) of $3.76 million during Q2-2024, an increase of 669% compared to $0.49 million in Q2-2023. The increase in Adjusted Gross Profit is primarily attributed to the addition of Intrahealth and Pentavere.

-          HEALWELL achieved an Adjusted Gross Margin(2) percentage of 69% during Q2-2024, compared to 27% in Q2-2023. The improvement in Adjusted Gross Margin was also primarily due to the addition of Intrahealth and Pentavere.

-          During Q2-2024, HEALWELL reported an Adjusted EBITDA(1) loss of $3.68 million, compared to a loss of $9.89 million in Q2-2023.

-          HEALWELL reported $2.54 million in Net Income as compared to a loss of $9.81 million in Q2 2023. This was primarily due to the successful removal and settling of a significant number of liabilities incurred in past years.

-          As at June 30, 2024, HEALWELL had $19.82 million in cash, compared to $11.34 million as at March 31, 2024. This increase was driven by an equity offering raising gross proceeds of $20 million, and the exercise of in-the-money warrants totaling approximately $8.8 million.
