VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (TSXV: DOC, OTCQX: DOCRF, Frankfurt: 6PH) (the “Company” or “CloudMD”), a healthcare technology company revolutionizing the delivery of care, announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022. All financial information is presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.
Karen Adams, CEO of CloudMD commented, “We are strengthening the business by focusing on profitability through sales of higher gross margin, recurring revenue, multi-product contracts. We are restructuring our business resulting in the ability to deliver prudent expense and cash management. We are pleased with our increasing customer base, specifically in Mental Health Support Solutions. Our business model across EHS and DHS is focused on our ability to support individuals where they are on their health journey. Our continued organic growth in our mental and physical health services reinforces this model and the need for managing health through navigation and coaching. Our financial performance in the period was impacted by the end of one-time mandates and COVID related government contracts. This overshadowed the growth and resilience of our recurring revenue core business. The Management team is committed to new client adoption and improved financial controls.”
John Plunkett, CFO of CloudMD commented, “We’ve set multiple strategic priorities for the Company to reach profitability. We are driving organic revenue growth while eliminating costs from the business. In the third quarter, we saw our use of cash reduce significantly compared to the previous quarter. We’ve identified an additional $6 million in total cost savings that we will begin to realize in the fourth quarter, with the full run-rate expected in early 2023. Subsequent to quarter end, we have improved our balance sheet from our divestiture activities and are working hard to move CloudMD to profitability. This demonstrates our disciplined and focused approach to growth within our core businesses.”
Third Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights
- Q3 2022 revenue from continuing operations was $27.5 million, compared to $28.9 million in Q3 2021. Third quarter revenue does not include revenue generated from the Clinics & Pharmacies division as well as Cloud Practice, which are classified as discontinuing operations. Including discontinued operations, revenue in the third quarter would be $38.2 million, which was impacted by the end of one-time Covid-19 testing contracts, changes to the Ontario Health contract, as well as lower Vision Pros revenue.
- Q3 2022 gross profit margin1 was 34.5% compared to 31.0% in Q2 2022 and 36.1% in the third quarter of 2021. The margin improvement from Q2 to Q3 reflects the Company’s strategy to divest non-core assets, which have lower overall gross profit margins.
- Net comprehensive loss attributable to equity holders of the Company in Q3 2022 was $94.8 million or $0.32 per share, compared to a loss of $5.8 million or $0.02 per share in Q3 2021. The larger loss per share was driven by an $84 million impairment of goodwill.
- Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”)2 was negative $3.0 million Q3 2022, compared to negative $3.2 million in Q2 2022 and Adjusted EBITDA of $0.9 million in Q3 2021. The lower revenues were offset by an improving overall cost structure.
- Cash and cash equivalents were $27.5 million as of September 30, 2022, compared to $45.1 million on December 31, 2021. Use of cash in the third quarter was $2.2 million, a significant improvement from the use of cash in the second quarter of 2022.
- During the third quarter, CloudMD experienced a triggering event due to sustained decreases in the Company’s share price, prompting an accounting related impairment assessment of goodwill and long-lived intangible assets. As a result of the assessment, the Company recorded a non-cash accounting impairment charge of $83.9 million in the third quarter of 2022. The assumptions used in the impairment analysis included discount rates that reflect higher interest rates, market volatility and the company risk premium compared to our valuation as at December 31, 2021. The impairment does not reflect a change in the Company’s outlook which is focused on growth, expanding profitability and cash flow.

Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis
This news release should be read in conjunction with the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements and related notes, and management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, copies of which can be found under the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the results reported in accordance with IFRS, the Company uses various non-GAAP financial measures and ratios which are not recognized under IFRS, as supplemental indicators of the Company’s operating performance and financial position. These non-GAAP financial measures and ratios are provided to enhance the user’s understanding of the Company’s historical and current financial performance and its prospects for the future. Management believes that these measures provide useful information in that they exclude amounts that are not indicative of the Company’s core operating results and ongoing operations and provide a more consistent basis for comparison between quarters and years. Details of such non-GAAP financial measures and ratios and how they are derived are provided below as well as in conjunction with the discussion of the financial information reported.
Since non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS, other companies may calculate these non-IFRS measures differently, and our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar titled measures of other companies. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on them and are also urged to read all IFRS accounting disclosures presented in the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that does not have a standard meaning and may not be comparable to a similar measure disclosed by other issuers.

This measure does not have a comparable IFRS measure and is used by the Company to assess its capacity to generate profit from operations before taking into account management’s financing decisions and costs of consuming intangible and tangible capital assets, which vary according to their vintage, technological currency, and management’s estimate of their useful life, adjusted for factors that are unusual in nature or factors that are not indicative of the operating performance of the Company.
Gross Profit
Gross Profit is a non-GAAP financial measure that does not have a standard meaning and may not be comparable to a similar measure disclosed by other issuers.
