Novo Integrated Sciences Reports First Quarter Financial Results

BELLEVUE, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$NVOS #Benzinga–Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:NVOS) (the “Company” or “Novo”), pioneering a holistic approach to patient-first health and wellness through a multidisciplinary healthcare ecosystem of multiple patient and consumer touchpoints for services and product innovation, today reported its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2021.

Robert Mattacchione, Novo’s CEO and Board Chairman, stated, “We are pleased with the 47% revenue growth year-over-year. Subsequent to the quarter, we strengthened our balance sheet with the completion of a registered direct offering, resulting in gross proceeds of $15 million to Novo, to support the continued strategic investment in our decentralized, multidisciplinary healthcare ecosystem of multiple patient and consumer touchpoints for services and product innovation. We intend to launch NovoConnect by March 31, 2022. NovoConnect is a patient-first healthcare mobile application focused on providing a robust digital based offering of services and products, alongside a secure patient chart that empowers the patient to have direct control of their health and wellness. We look forward to closing our U.S. pharmacy acquisitions, further expanding our patient touch points and multiplying our annual gross revenue by an expected 400%. In addition, Novo anticipates expansion into international jurisdictions, beyond the U.S. and Canada during the current fiscal year, providing an extended broad physical base for our global virtual solutions.”

Financial Highlights:

  • As of November 30, 2021, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $8.8 million, total assets were $63.9 million, total liabilities were $20.3 million, and stockholders’ equity was $43.7 million.
  • Revenues for the three months ended November 30, 2021 were $3.16 million, representing an increase of $1 million, or 46.7%, from $2.16 million for the same period in 2020. The increase in revenue is principally due to the acquisition of Acenzia, Inc. in June 2021. Acenzia’s revenue for the three months ended November 30, 2021 was $981,852.
  • Operating costs for the three months ended November 30, 2021 were $2,630,125, representing an increase of $1,060,951, or 67.6%, from $1,569,174 for the same period in 2020. The increase in operating costs is principally due to the temporary increase in overhead expenses associated with the acquisitions of Acenzia, PRO-DIP, and Terragenx which was approximately $808,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2021. In subsequent quarters, this temporary increase in overhead expenses associated with Acenzia, PRO-DIP, and Terragenx is projected to decrease significantly as the Company integrates and consolidates operations.
  • Net loss attributed to Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc. for the three months ended November 30, 2021 was $1,806,587, representing an increase of $1,035,117, or 134.2%, from $771,470 for the same period in 2020. The increase in net loss is principally due (i) an increase in foreign currency transaction losses, and (ii) a temporary increase in overhead expenses associated with the acquisitions of Acenzia, PRO-DIP, and Terragenx which was approximately $808,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2021. In subsequent quarters, this temporary increase in overhead expenses associated with Acenzia, PRO-DIP, and Terragenx is projected to decrease significantly as the Company integrates and consolidates operations.
  • Subsequent to the quarter end, the Company completed a registered direct offering with accredited institutional investors, resulting in gross proceeds of $15 million to Novo.

Operational Milestones:

  • Acquired 91% of Terragenx and the intellectual property portfolio, in an all-share transaction priced at $3.35 per share, for the unique formulation and manufacturing capability to produce a water-soluble iodine micro-nutrient that is FDA and Health Canada approved for over-the-counter and e-commerce distribution.
  • Established a 50/50 joint venture company, MiTelemed+, with EK-Tech Solutions Inc. to operate, support, and expand access and functionality of EK-Tech’s enhanced proprietary Telehealth platform (“iTelemed”). MiTelemed+, through the iTelemed platform, allows Novo to offer the patient and the practitioner a sophisticated and enhanced telehealth interaction. Through the interface of sophisticated peripheral based diagnostic tools operated by skilled support workers in the patient’s remote location, the practitioner’s ability and comfort to provide a uniquely comprehensive evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment solution is dramatically elevated.

About Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc.

Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc. is pioneering a holistic approach to patient-first health and wellness through a multidisciplinary healthcare ecosystem of multiple patient and consumer touchpoints for services and product innovation. Novo offers an essential and differentiated solution to deliver, or intend to deliver, these services and products through the integration of medical technology, advanced therapeutics, and rehabilitative science.

We believe that “decentralizing” healthcare, through the integration of medical technology and interconnectivity, is an essential solution to the rapidly evolving fundamental transformation of how non-catastrophic healthcare is delivered, both now and in the future. Specific to non-critical care, ongoing advancements in both medical technology and inter-connectivity are allowing for a shift of the patient/practitioner relationship to the patient’s home and away from on-site visits to primary medical centers with mass-services. This acceleration of “ease-of-access” in the patient/practitioner interaction for non-critical care diagnosis and subsequent treatment minimizes the degradation of non-critical health conditions to critical conditions as well as allowing for more cost-effective healthcare distribution.

The Company’s decentralized healthcare business model is centered on three primary pillars to best support the transformation of non-catastrophic healthcare delivery to patients and consumers:

  • First Pillar: Service Networks. Deliver multidisciplinary primary care services through (i) an affiliate network of clinic facilities, (ii) small and micro footprint sized clinic facilities primarily located within the footprint of box-store commercial enterprises, (iii) clinic facilities operated through a franchise relationship with the Company, and (iv) corporate operated clinic facilities.
  • Second Pillar: Technology. Develop, deploy, and integrate sophisticated interconnected technology, interfacing the patient to the healthcare practitioner thus expanding the reach and availability of the Company’s services, beyond the traditional clinic location, to geographic areas not readily providing advanced, peripheral based healthcare services, including the patient’s home.
  • Third Pillar: Products. Develop and distribute effective, personalized health and wellness product solutions allowing for the customization of patient preventative care remedies and ultimately a healthier population. The Company’s science-first approach to product innovation further emphasizes our mandate to create and provide over-the-counter preventative and maintenance care solutions.

Innovation through science combined with the integration of sophisticated, secure technology assures Novo Integrated Sciences of continued cutting-edge advancement in patient first platforms.
