TORONTO, April 20, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Skylight Health Group Inc (TSXV:SHG; OTCQX: SHGFF) (“Skylight Health” or the “Company”), a multi-state primary care management group in the United States, today reported financial results and provided a corporate update for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2020. Additional information concerning the company, including its audited financial statements and the Management Discussion and Analysis, for the year ended Dec. 31, 2020, can be found at SEDAR and on the company's website.
Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2020 Financial Highlights
- Revenue was $3.2 million for the quarter, compared to $3.1 million for Q4 2019. This increase was due to the addition of the acquired clinics during Q4 which offset a slight reduction seen at our pre-existing sites. For the full year, Revenue was $13.1 million, compared to $13.4 million for 2019. This reduction was due to the impact of COVID as well as a change in regulations in Q3 in New Jersey, which affected visit frequency at the Company’s clinics in that state.
- Gross profit percentage remained consistent year over year with Gross Profit coming in at $9.0 million for the year, compared to $9.3 million for 2019.
- Net Loss improved in 2020 to $9.4 million, compared to a net loss of $11 million in 2019 achieved through significant optimization of the operating structure and efficiencies driven through improved processes and technology.
- Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2020 was a loss of $1.8 million compared to a loss of $2.7 million in 2019 largely driven by professional fees and marketing attributed to acquisitions, financings and creating an expanded shareholder base.
- The Company generated positive cash-flow from operations of approximately $156,982 for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to a loss of $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.
- A significantly strengthened balance sheet on December 31, 2020 is reflected in a cash position of $20 million and working capital of $18.6 million compared to a cash balance of $0.1 million and a working capital deficiency of $6.7 million on December 31, 2019. In October 2020, the Company converted its promissory note held by Merida Capital extinguishing $4.0 million from its long-term debt.
- The Company is providing revenue guidance for the full year of $40 million in 2021.
“2020 was a transformative year for Skylight Health. We completed a full rebrand focused on converting our clinics to value-based care, while building a robust pipeline of near-term targets,” said Prad Sekar, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “We added 6 clinics, strengthened our leadership team, transformed our balance sheet, and made great strides toward transforming our company into a leading multi-state primary care business. We expect to see tremendous growth looking forward as we continue our profitable transition to value-based care across our platform.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This Press Release contains references to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. These financial measures are not measures that have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore referred to as non-GAAP measures. The non-GAAP measures used by the corporation may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. EBITDA is defined as “income (loss) before interest expenses, taxes, expenses related to listing on the Canadian Securities Exchange, depreciation, foreign exchange and financial expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA excludes the effect of share-based compensation expenses and related payroll taxes as well as removes substantial one-time costs for unusual business activities. Additional discussion on this can be found in the Skylight Health Management Discussion and Analysis filed on SEDAR.
The Company uses these non-GAAP measures because they provide additional information on the performance of its commercial operations. Such tools are frequently used in the business world to analyze and compare the performance of businesses; however, the Company’s definition of these metrics may differ from those of other businesses. Skylight Health will, at times, use certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide readers with additional information in order to assist investors in understanding our financial and operating performance. Skylight Health believes that these non-GAAP measures provide readers with useful information about the Company’s operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making.
Such non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with IFRS. See the Company’s audited Financial Statements for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures.
