Management Commentary

“Our strong start to the year has continued with the execution of our second national insurance contract with another top five health insurer in the United States. At present, we are providing cost-effective patient care to over 270,000 active patients across the nation and I am very excited that another major health insurer has recognized the value creation we are providing within the industry.

We remain focused on delivering on our robust growth strategy and the signing of this contact is yet another milestone that will assist us in reaching our long-term goals,” said Greg Crawford, Chairman and CEO of Quipt. “The execution of this new national insurance contract continues to expand our patient accessibility profile and is expected to assist us in the acceleration of our organic growth strategy. I am also excited to be able to immediately leverage both our national contracts, which is extremely meaningful in terms of capturing as many eligible patients as possible. I look forward to continuing to update our shareholders with respect to our ongoing operational and financial success.”
