Q2 2024 Financial Results

Total Revenue
Total revenue is comprised of clinic revenue and non-clinic revenue. Total revenue was $18.9 million and $36.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $17.1 million and $33.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Clinic Revenue
Clinic revenue is generated through the provision of medical services to patients. Clinic revenue was $17.3 million and $33.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $16.0 million and $30.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in clinic revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to stronger revenues from fluoroscopy and increased patient volumes from existing medical clinics. Capacity utilization was 77% and 75% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 70% and 68% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The improvement in capacity utilization was primarily driven by increased patient volumes and efficiency through continued optimization of clinic space.

Non-clinic Revenue
Non-clinic revenue was $1.6 million and $2.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $1.2 million and $2.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. Non-clinic revenue is earned from physician staffing allocation services where the Company provides physicians for provincial and federal correctional institutions across Canada, and from contract research services provided to pharmaceutical companies and clinical research organizations. This revenue fluctuates depending on the need for physicians in certain institutions and the timing and enrolment of clinical studies that the Company is working on.

Gross margin % was 20.0% and 19.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 18.8% and 18.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by higher revenues from fluoroscopy and increased patient volumes from existing medical clinics compared to the comparative three and six-month ended June 30, 2023. (see Non-IFRS Financial Measures - Gross Margin and Gross Margin % below).

Adjusted EBITDA was $1.3 million and $2.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $1.0 million and $1.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As at June 30, 2024, the Company's net debt was $3.1 million, compared to $4.9 million as at June 30, 2023. The Company's net debt as at June 30, 2024 consisted of $2.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and long-term debt of $6.0 million compared to $2.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and long-term debt of $7.4 million as at June 30, 2023.

Non-IFRS Financial and Other Measures

The Company discloses non-IFRS measures (such as EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and gross margin) and non-IFRS ratios (such as gross margin %) that do not have standardized meanings prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The Company believes that shareholders, investment analysts and other readers find such measures helpful in understanding the Company's financial performance. Non-IFRS financial measures and other measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not have been calculated in the same way as similarly named financial measures presented by other reporting issuers and therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Furthermore, these non-IFRS measures and other measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance or cash flows as prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for related financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA refers to net income (loss) determined in accordance with IFRS, before depreciation and amortization, net interest expense (income) and income tax expense (recovery). The Company defines adjusted EBITDA, as EBITDA, excluding stock-based compensation expense, restructuring costs, gain on derecognition of other obligations, fair value adjustments, transaction costs, impairment charges, gain on sale of building, government loan forgiveness and finance income. Management believes EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are useful supplemental non-GAAP measures to determine the Company's ability to generate cash available for operations, working capital, capital expenditures, debt repayments, interest expense and income taxes.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net and comprehensive income (loss) to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA:

Gross Margin and Gross Margin %
Management believes gross margin and gross margin % are important supplemental non-GAAP measures for evaluating operating performance and to allow for operating performance comparability from period-to-period. Gross margin is calculated as total revenue minus cost of medical services. Gross margin % is calculated as gross margin divided by total revenue.
