Third Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights
Significant financial highlights for MCI during the third quarter of 2021 included:
- Revenue Growth Year-on-year: Revenue for the third quarter of 2021 increased 29% over the same period in 2020, driven by the ongoing recovery of publicly-insured health services, ongoing growth from corporate health services, and revenue contributed by recently acquired businesses. Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $12.6 million, compared to total revenue of $9.8 million in the comparable period in 2020. Revenue contributions from 2021 acquisitions of Khure and Polyclinic accounted for 44% of the growth, and their contributions are expected to continue to increase as the businesses are integrated, with revenue synergy opportunities already being realized in the fourth quarter of 2021.
- Increased Patient Volumes: Patient volumes grew approximately 31%, year-on-year, excluding increases from acquired businesses in 2021. Patient volumes continued to improve despite continuing COVID-19 restrictions as patients and physicians become more comfortable with virtual channels and pent-up demand for health services continues to grow.
- Growth in Corporate Customers: The Company added 27 new corporate health customers in the third quarter of 2021, including a major insurance company for which MCI is now coordinating national appointments for plan members, and has become a preferred vendor for Destination Toronto, providing pre-travel concierge travel testing programs and other services.
- Liquidity: Cash was $9.98 million at the end of the quarter, compared to $0.89 million in the same quarter last year, ensuring short- and medium-term capital requirements are met while the Company continues to pursue new strategic acquisitions and to develop and implement the Company’s data-driven healthcare initiatives.
- Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA(1) for the quarter was negative $1.8 million, as compared to an Adjusted EBITDA of $2.1 million in the same period last year.
- Net Losses: Net losses for the quarter were $5.4 million, as compared to a gain of $0.9 million from the same quarter in the previous year, reflecting increased expenses relating to expansion of personnel, share-based compensation and acquisition-related expenses as the Company continues to focus on rapid growth and expansion.
Third Quarter 2021 Operational Highlights
Significant operational highlights for MCI during the third quarter of 2021 included:
- Acquisition of Polyclinic: On July 30, 2021, MCI acquired an 80% interest in Polyclinic for total consideration of $7.1 million. Polyclinic is comprised of The Quit Clinic Inc., Executive Medical Concierge Canada Ltd. and Canadian Phase Onward Inc. Polyclinic provides onsite integrated health services including primary care, specialist care, concierge medicine, lab services, and an in-house clinical research organization. The details of the acquisition are set out in MCI’s press release dated July 30, 2021.
- Khure Collaborations and Strategic Partnerships: Khure has secured strategic partnership agreements with 2 of the top 4 electronic medical record companies in English-speaking Canada, which will help remove technical barriers and increase the availability of Khure's AI-enabled rare disease clinical intelligence platform for more than 15 thousand physicians across the country. As part of a recently signed commercial collaboration, Khure’s platform is now included in the product and service offerings of one of Canada’s leading providers of prescription level data, health technology services and advanced analytics to the pharmaceutical industry.
- Commercial Partnership with Acorn Biolabs Inc. (“Acorn”): The Company’s commercial partnership with Acorn, a Toronto-based biotechnology company, continues to roll-out, with Acorn’s stem-cell collection and cryostorage services being marketed across the Company’s channels and Acorn performing follicle extractions on designated days each month at three MCI clinics so far.
- Investment in ORO: On July 14, 2021, MCI invested $250,000 to purchase an interest in ORO, an innovative, dermatologically-focused telehealth and virtual health care service provider, through the acquisition of Series 1 Class Seed Preferred Shares of ORO.
Outlook
MCI expects to accelerate total company revenue growth in the first half of fiscal 2022 as it executes its strategic plan on multiple fronts including:
- Organic growth of government insured health services from its omnichannel network of clinics, telehealth and the MCI Connect virtual platform.
- Continued organic growth in health services provided to corporate customers, as it expands its customer base and increases the number of available service offerings.
- New technology partnerships and strategic acquisitions to accelerate its technology roadmap.
- Acquisitions of specialty clinics to expand its health service offerings and enter new markets by leveraging technology to deliver more services to its large and growing patient and physician base.
- Exploration of commercial relationships that leverage expressed interest in Khure’s AI-driven clinical evidence around rare diseases to accelerate patient recruitment for clinical trials, accelerate patient access to treatment, support regulatory decision-making through the application of real-world evidence and set the foundations for new AI technologies.
