Novo Integrated Sciences Reports Fiscal Year 2023 Third Quarter Financial Results

In this article:

BELLEVUE, Wash., July 17, 2023--(BUSINESS WIRE)--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 third fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2023.

Robert Mattacchione, Novo’s CEO and Board Chairman, stated, "The Company remains committed to the commercialization of its proprietary product offerings and the expansion and delivery of its essential services and solutions of how non-catastrophic healthcare is delivered both now and in the future. During the fiscal year 2023 third quarter period, the Company announced the signing of agreements for an unsecured, non-dilutive 15-year debt instrument, with a principal sum of $70,000,000, which provides for the Company to receive net proceeds of approximately $55,000,000 after fees. In today’s environment of tight capital markets and expensive capital raises, this cash infusion is consequential and will provide the Company with the foundational capital and repayment terms required to support and accelerate the further implementation and growth of Novo’s three-pillar business model. "

Financial Highlights for the three month period ended May 31, 2023:

  • Cash and cash equivalents were $464,011, total assets were $35.7 million, total liabilities were $9.5 million, and stockholders’ equity was $26.5 million.

  • Revenues were $3,292,933, representing a decrease of $10,558,950, or 76%, from $13,851,883 for the same period in 2022. The decrease in revenue is principally due to the decrease in outsourced product sales and IoNovo Iodine. Acenzia’s and Terragenx’s revenue for the three months ended May 31, 2023 was $896,405 and $5,866, respectively. Revenue from our healthcare services decreased by 8% when comparing the revenue for the three months ended for the same period in 2022.

  • Operating costs were $2,744,512, representing a decrease of $867,116, or 24%, from $3,611,628 for the same period in 2022. The decrease in operating costs was principally due to the decrease in overhead expenses and depreciation and amortization.

  • Net loss attributed to the Company was $1,497,330, representing a decrease of $2,312,724, or 61%, from $3,810,054 for the same period in 2022. The decrease in net loss was principally due to the decrease in operating expenses.

  • On March 21, 2023, the Company issued a $573,000 promissory note (12% per annum interest rate) and completed the related Securities Purchase Agreement with FirstFire Global Opportunities Fund, LLC ("FirstFire") for gross proceeds of $515,700. The Company granted 5-year warrants with an exercise price of $0.25 per share and issued 955,000 restricted shares to FirstFire.

  • On April 26, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with RC Consulting Group LLC in favor of SCP Tourbillion Monaco or registered assigns pursuant to which the Company issued an unsecured 15-year promissory note to the RC Noteholder (the "RC Note") with a maturity date of April 26, 2038, in the principal sum of $70,000,000, which amount represents the $57,000,000 purchase price plus a yield (non-compounding) of 1.52% (zero coupon) per annum from April 26, 2023 until the same becomes due and payable as provided in the RC Note.

  • Subsequent to the period ended May 31, 2023, on June 20, 2023, the Company issued a $445,000 promissory note (12% per annum interest rate) and completed the related Securities Purchase Agreement with Mast Hill Fund, L.P. for gross proceeds of $400,500. The Company granted 5-year warrants with an exercise price of $0.25 per share and issued 776,614 restricted shares to Mast Hill Fund, L.P.

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 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.
