Novo Integrated Sciences Reports Fiscal Year 2024 Third Quarter Financial Results
BELLEVUE, Wash., July 19, 2024 - 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 third fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2024.
Robert Mattacchione, Novo’s CEO and Board Chairman, stated, “The Company’s fiscal year 2024 third quarter emphasized maximizing operational efficiencies for all business units. The Company continues to work with certain prospective financial partners to close previously announced non-traditional financing opportunities to raise foundational capital with repayment terms necessary to support and accelerate the further growth of Novo’s three-pillar business model. The Company remains committed to the commercialization of its proprietary product offerings and the expansion and delivery of its essential services and solutions for how non-catastrophic healthcare is delivered both now and in the future.”
Financial Highlights for the three-month period ended May 31, 2024:
| ● | Cash and cash equivalents were $1,539,771, total assets were $35,327,000, total liabilities were $25,663,779, and total stockholders’ equity was $9,956,134. | |
| ● | Revenues were $3,151,851, representing a decrease of $141,082, or 4%, from $3,292,933 for the three months ended May 31, 2023. The decrease in revenue is principally due to a decrease in product sales. Acenzia’s and Terragenx’s revenue for the three months ended May 31, 2024 were $884,396 and $103,399, respectively. Despite a decrease in total revenue, revenue from our healthcare services increased by 8.1% when comparing the revenue for the three months ended May 31, 2024 to the three months ended May 31, 2023. | |
| ● | Operating costs were $3,417,096, representing an increase of $672,584, or 25%, from $2,744,512 for the three months ended May 31, 2023. The increase in operating costs was primarily due to the inflationary impact on operating costs. | |
| ● | Net loss attributed to the Company was $13,741,903, representing an increase of $12,244,573, or 818%, from $1,497,330 for the three months ended May 31, 2023. The increase in net loss of $12,244,573 is mainly attributed to the recognition of a $6,724,690 loss in the fair value of the derivative liability, loss from operations of $1,089,785, amortization of the debt discount of $ 2,748,793 and foreign currency exchange loss of $1,455,248 arising as a result of intercompany balance reconciliation. | |
| ● | On April 5, 2024, the Company executed a $6.21 million Securities Purchase Agreement and Promissory Note with Streeterville Capital LLC (the “Streeterville Note”). The interest rate on the Streeterville Note is 10.9% and it has a 12-month maturity date. A portion of the proceeds from the Streeterville Note paid the balance owed on two notes, as follows: |
| ○ | $3,228,774 (principal) and $30,571.28 (interest) on the 2023 $3.5 million Mast Hill note; and | |
| ○ | $82,761 (principal) and $1,552 (interest) on the 2023 $277,777 First Fire note. |
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.
