“The fourth quarter of 2021 was productive. We started the quarter with the acquisition of Louisiana Orthopaedic and Spine Institute which we expect to be our largest clinic by the second half of 2022. And by the end of the quarter, we delivered 26% revenue growth on a 9.7% increase of patients visits compared to Q4 of 2020,” said Jeffrey Ervin, IMAC’s Chief Executive Officer.

“During 2021, we worked diligently to reduce the Company’s debt, retiring greater than $4.13 million representing over 90% of notes payable. We are well positioned for strategic growth objectives in 2022 that solidify our foundation as we continue to execute on our strategic initiatives. Today, we filed an extension to accommodate the additional time needed for our former and current auditors to complete our 10k filing.”

“Another significant accomplishment during 2021 included growing our service footprint with the launch of The Back Space retail chiropractic pilot program in select Walmart locations. We opened 10 stores in three markets as part of the pilot and recently completed The Back Company franchise to expand The Back Space presence. The infrastructure incorporates technical advancements with our consumer engagement tools as evidenced with the launch The Back mobile app, the first in the chiropractic industry to provide mobile queue registration. Dr. Ben Lerner recently joined the team as COO with an emphasis on leading The Back Company’s growth using his franchise and high-growth experience after a 17-year tenure as founder and CEO of a large chiropractic franchisor and lifestyle company.”

“Finally, we’ve already completed the second cohort and initiated the third cohort of our Phase 1 clinical trial. We anticipate completing our third and final cohort during summer, 2022. Each of these milestones are part of IMAC Holdings’ roadmap to helping consumers develop a personalized, affordable and engaging experience that guides users to better spinal health and physical function. There was demonstrable progress during 2021 to set up a springboard of growth for 2022.”

Results of Operations for the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2021 Compared to the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2020

Total revenue increased 12% from 12.8 million in 2020 to $14.4 million in 2021. Total revenues increased $1.6 million due to a combination of acquisitions, same-store growth, and the opening of retail chiropractic clinics. The increase in operating expenses from $19.4 million in 2020 to $24.5 million in 2021 was driven by a combination of additional salaries and expenses related to acquisitions and The Back Space launch in 2021 as well as the $0.42 million reduction in expenses from grant funds in 2020, resulting in an increase in operating loss to $10.1 million versus a loss of $6.5 million in 2020.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company reported cash and cash equivalents of $7.1 million, compared with approximately $2.6 million as of December 31, 2020.
