TORONTO, March 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HEALWELL AI Inc. (“HEALWELL” or the “Company”) (TSX: AIDX) (OTCQX: HWAIF), (formerly known as MCI Onehealth Technologies Inc.), a healthcare technology company focused on AI and data science for preventative care, is pleased to announce its audited consolidated financial results for the fiscal year and fourth quarter ended December 31, 2023.
Dr. Alexander Dobranowski, HEALWELL’s CEO, commented, “Fourth quarter was a transformative period for the Company marked by our relaunch as HEALWELL AI and our new mission to improve healthcare and save lives through early disease detection with the use of leading AI and data science technologies. In the quarter, we achieved significant milestones including the establishment of a groundbreaking partnership with WELL Health Technologies, securing approximately $29.5 million through convertible debt and equity financings, and completing the acquisition of a majority interest in Pentavere, one of the leading healthcare AI platforms in Canada. I am grateful for what our team has been able to accomplish in such a short amount of time and excited with our continued trajectory as we show no signs of slowing down.”
Dr. Dobranowski further adds, “We have an extremely positive outlook based on our organic growth profile and M&A strategy. We currently have a strong and active acquisition pipeline with the potential to more than double our current revenue run-rate of over $20 million to over $40 million per year, by using the existing cash we have on hand. We’ve established a very strong foundation with a solid framework for HEALWELL’s continued growth. Other significant areas of focus include onboarding more physicians onto the HEALWELL platform, increasing sales of our AI tools and technology, expanding Intrahealth’s footprint, and enhancing our presence within the WELL Health ecosystem. We see an unparalleled opportunity in healthcare data science and artificial intelligence.”
Scott Nirenberski, HEALWELL’s CFO, commented, “During the fourth quarter HEALWELL significantly strengthened its balance sheet by raising a total of $29.5 million of debt and equity and discharging a number of significant secured and unsecured liabilities. Our 2023 results are not indicative of the Company’s current run-rate revenues as the Intrahealth acquisition was made in Q1-2024 and this is expected to contribute over $12 million in revenue and contribute positive EBITDA to HEALWELL this year. Furthermore, the 2023 results only included one month of contribution from our Pentavere acquisition. Looking ahead, we expect to see improved top and bottom-line performance as we activate against our advanced business development and M&A pipeline.”

The words “result”, “improve”, “grow”, “outcome”, “position”, “implement”, “provide”, “satisfy”, “goal”, “commitment”, “intend”, “generate”, “accelerate”, “continuing to”, “potential”, “future”, “result in”, “increasing”, “anticipates”, “expecting”, “achieve”, “revolutionize”, “transform”, “outlook”, “solidified”, or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain future conditions, actions, events or results “will”, “may”, “could”, “would”, “should”, “might” or “can”, or negative versions thereof, “occur”, “continue” or “be achieved”, and other similar expressions, identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon management’s perceptions of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as a number of specific factors and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Company as of the date of such statements, are outside of the Company's control and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies which could result in the forward-looking statements ultimately being entirely or partially incorrect or untrue. Forward looking statements contained in this press release are based on various assumptions, including, but not limited to, the following: the Company's ability to maintain its relationships with its commercial partners and to successfully implement its strategic alliance with WELL; the Company's future access to debt and equity financing; the Company's plans for future cost reduction; the availability of working capital and sources of liquidity; the Company's ability to achieve its growth and revenue strategies; the availability of potential acquisition targets, the Company’s ability to complete acquisitions successfully, and the terms on which acquisitions may be completed; the demand for the Company's products and fluctuations in future revenues; the availability of future business ventures, commercial arrangements and acquisition targets or opportunities and the Company's ability to consummate them and to effectively integrate future acquisition targets into its platform; the Company's ability to grow its customer base; the effects of competition in the industry; the requirement for increasingly innovative product solutions and service offerings; trends in customer growth; the stability of general economic and market conditions; currency exchange rates and interest rates; the Company's ability to comply with applicable laws and regulations; the Company's continued compliance with third party intellectual property rights; and that the risk factors noted below, collectively, do not have a material impact on the Company's business, operations, revenues and/or results. By their nature, forward-looking statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties that may be general or specific and which give rise to the possibility that expectations, forecasts, predictions, projections or conclusions will not prove to be accurate, that assumptions may not be correct, and that objectives, strategic goals and priorities will not be achieved.
Readers are encouraged to review the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of the Company’s MD&A, together with Note 3(c) of the Company’s annual financial statements, for the period ended December 31, 2023, which indicate the existence of material uncertainties that cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern was, as at December 31, 2023, dependent on, among other things, its ability to meet its financing requirements on a continuing basis, to continue to have access to financing, and to generate positive operating results. The Company’s ability to satisfy its financing requirements and ultimately achieve necessary levels of profitability and positive cash flows from operations, to raise additional funds, and to improve operating results were and are dependent on a number of factors outside the Company’s control, and while the Company has raised significant financing during the year ended December 31, 2023, there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to be successful in these endeavors in the future.
Known and unknown risk factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, could cause the actual results of the Company to differ materially from the results, performance, achievements or developments expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risk factors include but are not limited to those factors which are discussed under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s annual information form dated March 31, 2023, which is available under the Company's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.com. The risk factors are not intended to represent a complete list of the factors that could affect the Company and the reader is cautioned to consider these and other factors, uncertainties and potential events carefully and not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Forward-looking statements are provided for the purpose of providing information about management’s expectations and plans relating to the future. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, or to explain any material difference between subsequent actual events and such forward-looking statements, except to the extent required by applicable law. All of the forward-looking statements contained in this press release are qualified by these cautionary statements.
