Novo Integrated Sciences Reports Fiscal Year 2023 First Quarter Financial Results

BELLEVUE, Wash.--(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 fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2022.

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. The Company’s fiscal year 2023 first quarter period emphasized maximizing efficiencies pointed towards future cost savings and margin stability.”

Financial Highlights:

• As of November 30, 2022, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $878 thousand, total assets were $38.2 million, total liabilities were $17.2 million, and stockholders’ equity was $20.9 million.
• Revenues for the three months ended November 30, 2022 were $3,419,280, representing an increase of $257,353, or 8.1%, from $3,161,927 for the same period in 2021. The increase in revenue is principally due to an increase in outsourced product sales which resulted in an increase in revenue of $607,589. Acenzia’s and Terragenx’s revenue for the three months ended November 30, 2022 was $777,229 and $9,157, respectively. Revenues from our healthcare services decreased by 7.3% when comparing the revenues for the three months ended November 30, 2022 to the same period in 2021 primarily due to a COVID-19 surge in Ontario province Canada and COVID-19 staffing related shortages limiting clinic and eldercare patient-practitioner direct personal interaction.
• Operating costs for the three months ended November 30, 2022 were $3,981,493, representing an increase of $1,351,368, or 51.4%, from $2,630,125 for the same period in 2021. The increase in operating costs is principally due to the increase in overhead expenses associated with the operations of Acenzia, PRO-DIP, and Terragenx which was approximately $902,756 for the three months ended November 30, 2022. In subsequent quarters, this increase in overhead expenses associated with Acenzia, PRO-DIP, and Terragenx is projected to decrease as the Company integrates and consolidates operations. Also, an increase in legal and professional fees contributed to the increase in operating expenses.
• Net loss attributed to Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc. for the three months ended November 30, 2022 was $3,935,413, representing an increase of $2,128,826, or 117.8%, from $1,806,587 for the same period in 2021. The increase in net loss is principally due to (i) an increase in overhead expenses associated with the operations of Acenzia, PRO-DIP, and Terragenx which was approximately $902,756 for the three months ended November 30, 2022, (ii) an increase in interest expense, and (iii) an increase in amortization of debt discounts.

Operational Milestones:

• The Company completed a registered offering which raised an aggregate of $2,000,000 with the sale of 4,000,000 units consisting of (i) 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, (ii) warrants with a three-year term to purchase 4,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, and (iii) warrants with a five-year term to purchase 4,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share (the “Offering”).

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.
