CINCINNATI, May 16, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quipt Home Medical Corp. (the “Company” or “Quipt") (NASDAQ: QIPT; TSXV: QIPT), a U.S. based home medical equipment provider, focused on end-to-end respiratory care, today announced its second quarter fiscal 2023 financial results and operational highlights. These results pertain to the three and six months ended March 31, 2023, and are reported in U.S. Dollars.

Quipt will host its Earnings Conference Call on Tuesday, May 16, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. (ET). The dial-in number is 1 (800) 319-4610 or 1 (604) 638-5340. The live audio webcast can be found on the investor section of the Company’s website through the following link: www.quipthomemedical.com.

Financial Highlights:

  • Revenues for fiscal Q2 2023 were $58.1 million compared to $33.6 million for fiscal Q2 2022, representing a 73% increase year-over-year.
    • Compared to Q1 2023, the Company experienced very strong sequential organic growth of 2.5%.
    • The Company anticipates organic growth continuing to meet or surpass historical levels of 8%-10% annually as calendar 2023 progresses.
  • Revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2023, increased to $98.9 million, representing an increase of 56.8% from the six months ended March 31, 2022.
  • Recurring Revenue (defined below) for fiscal Q2 2023 continues to be strong and exceeded 78% of revenues.
  • Adjusted EBITDA (defined below) for fiscal Q2 2023 was $13.1 million (22.5% of revenues), compared to Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal Q2 2022 of $7.0 million (21.0% of revenues), representing an 86% increase year-over-year.

  • For fiscal Q2 2023, bad debt expense was at 4.2% of revenues compared to 9.4% in fiscal Q2 2022. This decrease is primarily due to improved collections and is attributable to the Company’s ability to scale and add revenue through add-on acquisitions without compromising billing capabilities.

There were 106,486 respiratory resupply set-ups/deliveries during fiscal Q2 2023 compared to 50,713 during fiscal Q2 2022, an increase of 110%, which the Company credits to its continued use of technology and centralized intake processes.
  • The Company’s product mix is 79% respiratory as of March 31, 2023.
  • The Company continues to experience robust demand for respiratory equipment, such as oxygen concentrators, ventilators, as well as the CPAP resupply and other supplies business.

Management Commentary on Q2 2023:

“We are thrilled to announce robust financial results that have come in ahead of expectations for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 and are delighted to report that we continue to observe significant and continued momentum throughout the organization. This past quarter has seen our supply chain return to normal, stronger organic growth, an increase in our Adjusted EBITDA margin, and the seamless integration of our largest acquisition, Great Elm, to date. We are extremely delighted that our team’s focus on operational excellence has produced such outstanding results and believe that our continued focus therein will yield increased margins as we move into the second half of 2023. Additionally, we have a strong acquisition pipeline and will continue to use our tried-and-true approach to integration and our focused acquisition strategy to execute on our long-term vision,” said CEO and Chairman Greg Crawford.

“By focusing on areas with a high prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), we were able to expand our patient-centric ecosystem across the United States. Our success is a direct result of our dedication to improving patient care by offering a full range of respiratory and equipment solutions. As the need for efficient and timely home health care increases and in an effort to help ease the strain on the traditional healthcare system, we take our role as a major provider of these services very seriously and will always focus on providing superior patient care. Due to favorable demographic trends, the bullish regulatory environment, the continued strong demand for respiratory equipment, and our consistent operational performance across the entire organization, I truly believe that Quipt is in the strongest position it has ever been.”

Chief Financial Officer Hardik Mehta added, “We have a lot to be proud of because of our outstanding financial and operational performance in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. This is a remarkable accomplishment for the team because we exceeded our revenue and Adjusted EBITDA targets, raised our Adjusted EBITDA margin to 22.5%, and showed excellent 2.5% sequential organic growth. We also announced the completion of our largest acquisition to date at the start of the year, and I am happy to report that integration has gone very well and that we were able to realize the $2 million in annualized cost savings and synergies previously anticipated roughly a quarter ahead of schedule. Moreover, we closed a bought deal offering and concurrent private placement after the quarter ended to further fortify our already strong balance sheet, giving us more room to carry out our aggressive strategic expansion plan. This success has allowed us to maintain a very low net leverage ratio of 1.5x and a high degree of financial flexibility. We think we are in an excellent position to take decisive action as soon as the right opportunity presents itself.”

ATM:

Quipt is also pleased to announce that it has filed a prospectus supplement establishing a new At-the-Market equity program (the “ATM”). Canaccord Genuity (“Canaccord”) and Beacon ‎Securities Limited (“Beacon” and together with Canaccord, the “Agents”), ‎are acting as agents for the ATM . The ATM will allow the Company to offer for sale and issue up to $40 million (or the equivalent in Canadian dollars) of common shares of the Company (the “Common Shares”) from time to time, at the Company’s discretion. Any sales of Common Shares under the ATM will be made through "at-the-market distributions" as defined in Regulation 44-102 respecting Shelf Distributions, including sales made directly on the TSXV (or the TSX if, as previously announced, the Company successfully graduates to the TSX), the NASDAQ Capital Market or on any other trading market for the Common Shares in Canada or the United States. The Common Shares will be distributed at the market prices prevailing at the time of the sale, and, as a result, prices may vary between purchasers and during the period of the ATM. The Company is not obligated to make any sales of Common Shares under the ATM.

The Company has adequate liquidity resources and does not currently intend to use the ATM, however the Company believes it is prudent to have this program in place in order to access capital to ensure the Company maintains sufficient liquidity and capital resources in the future. The Company intends to use net proceeds from the ATM, if any, for repayment of debt, potential future ‎acquisitions, working capital and general corporate purposes.

Distributions of the Common Shares through the ATM will be made pursuant to the terms of an equity distribution agreement dated May 15, 2023 (the “Distribution Agreement”) by and among the Company and the Agents, pursuant to which the Company may distribute Common Shares under the ATM from time to time through the Agents, in accordance with the terms of the Distribution Agreement.

A prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement”) to the Company’s short form base shelf prospectus dated November 11, 2021 (the “Base Shelf Prospectus”) has been filed with the securities commissions or securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada, and a prospectus supplement, dated May 15, 2023, related to the ATM (the “U.S. Prospectus Supplement”) has also been filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as part of the Company's registration statement Form F-10 (File No. 333-26036) (as amended, the “Registration Statement”) under the United States/Canada multijurisdictional disclosure system. The Prospectus Supplement, the Base Shelf Prospectus, the U.S. Prospectus Supplement and the Registration Statement contain important detailed information about the Company and the ATM.

Prospective investors should read the Prospectus Supplement, the Base Shelf Prospectus, the U.S. Prospectus Supplement, and the Registration Statement and the other documents the Company has filed for more complete information about the Company and the ATM before making an investment decision.

The Prospectus Supplement filed in Canada (together with the related Base Shelf Prospectus) and the Distribution Agreement will be available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The U.S. Prospectus Supplement and the Distribution Agreement filed in the United States (together with the Registration Statement) will be available on the SEC’s website on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities, nor will there be any sale of the securities in any province, state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such province, state or jurisdiction. The securities being offered and the contents of this press release have not been approved or disapproved by any regulatory authority, nor has any such authority passed upon by the accuracy or adequacy of the Prospectus Supplement, the Base Shelf Prospectus, the U.S. Prospectus Supplement or the Registration Statement.

Management Commentary on ATM:

“Given our sustained strong expansion and future goals, the Company is dedicated to diversifying its sources of capital to fund its long-term acquisition strategy,” said Greg Crawford, CEO of Quipt. “The ATM will allow the Company to opportunistically raise equity in a more timely and cost-effective manner.”
