"Newtopia had a very productive second quarter, as we continued to effectively manage our costs in a challenging macro environment to achieve cash flow positive from operations well ahead of our internal plan," said Jeff Ruby, Founder and CEO of Newtopia. "Top line growth was slightly down as compared to the prior year largely due to organic expansion timing and the deepening of our value based contracting expertise. The proactive efforts we have exerted across the Company to reduce operating expenses and increase our gross profit margins are quickly coming to fruition. Our acute focus on profitability will continue throughout the year as we also make our way toward EBITDA positive."
Ruby continued, "We anticipate that our recent multi-year contract renewals with large clients will enhance our revenue and profitability in the second half of the year. In addition to growth with existing clients, our pipeline of new business development with risk-bearing entities, including self-insured employers and innovative health plans, remains robust. Not only have we made progress with existing, in-contracting deals, but we've also added opportunities to the contracting queue. Importantly, our clients continue to see high participant engagement and satisfaction with Newtopia, alongside healthy habit change results. Newtopia's position at the forefront of preventing, slowing and reversing chronic disease ideally fits with larger healthcare macro trends including the massive interest and market size for GLP-1 medications for weight loss and the shift by employers and commercial populations towards value based advanced primary care. These trends provide fertile ground for continued expansion. To maintain this positive momentum, we have developed a special committee within our Board of Directors who will be working to explore avenues and partnerships to accelerate our growth. We look forward to sharing our progress along the way."

1 | Gross profit is defined as revenue, which is comprised of onboarding Welcome Kit revenue, ongoing engagement fees and success fees, less cost of sales, which is comprised of Welcome Kit costs, compensation expense for Inspirators and care specialists, genetic testing costs and the amortization of intangible assets. Gross margin percentage is calculated by dividing gross profit by total revenue for the defined period. Gross profit is considered by management to be an integral measure of financial performance and represents the amount of revenues retained by the Company after incurring direct costs. However, gross profit is not a recognized measure of profitability under IFRS. The Company defines Non-IFRS gross profit as gross profit plus amortization of intangible assets, for a true revenue less direct cost calculation and an "apples to apples" comparison vs. prior periods. |
2 | Adjusted operating expenses consist of all cash-based technology, sales and marketing and administrative expenses. Adjusted operating expense is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS and should not be considered a substitute for total operating expenses, which we believe to be the most directly comparable IFRS measure. |
3 | EBITDA stands for "earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization". Although a commonly used financial metric, EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS and should not be considered a substitute for loss from operations which we believe to be the most directly comparable IFRS measure. |
