Business Restructuring

Prior to the appointment of Mike Seckler as CEO in June 2023, the Company had accumulated significant acquisition debt along with flat revenues, mounting losses and declining cash balances. Since then, the Company achieved positive Adjusted EBITDA in Q3 2023, Q4 2023 and Q2 2024, following a retooling effort in Q1 2024.

"We have made tremendous progress over the past 12 months including a restructuring of the entire Company," said Mike Seckler, CEO. "We focused on boosting sales of our core Biodex division and cutting costs to increase profitability. Concurrently, we reduced and restructured debt."

"I am pleased to report that the business has now stabilized and is generating positive Adjusted EBITDA. I remain optimistic about maintaining recent financial momentum into the third quarter and beyond for our core business, Biodex. As previously announced, we are planning to divest our remaining business units, which we anticipate could allow us to retire all outstanding acquisition debt and provide a path to sustainable operations built upon a large client base and a stellar brand in Biodex," he added.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures ‎

This press release refers to "Adjusted EBITDA" which is a non-GAAP and non-IFRS financial ‎measure that does ‎not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP or IFRS. The ‎Company's presentation of this financial ‎measure may not be comparable to similarly titled ‎measures used by other companies. This non-GAAP financial measure assists the Company's ‎management in comparing its operating performance over time because certain items may ‎obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult, ‎as they are of a nature and/or size that occur with inconsistent frequency or relate to discrete ‎acquisition plans that are fundamentally different from the ongoing operating plans of the ‎Company. The Company's management also believes that presenting this measure allows ‎investors to view the Company's performance using the same measures that the Company ‎uses in evaluating its financial and business performance and trends.‎

"Adjusted EBITDA" is defined as net loss excluding interest expense, provision for income ‎taxes, depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of right-of-use asset, amortization ‎of intangible asset, foreign exchange (loss) gain, other income, provision for impairment, ‎change in fair value of contingent consideration, transaction costs, gain/loss on sale of business and stock-based ‎compensation.‎
