VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - WELL Health Technologies Corp.

Hamed Shahbazi, Founder and CEO of WELL commented, "Q3 was an outstanding quarter for us, as we achieved record patient visits, Adjusted EBITDA(1) and posted our first quarter ever with more than $200M in revenues.  While all our business units are executing extremely well, our Canadian business grew its Adjusted EBITDA by 24% and shows no signs of slowing down.  We are expecting to have strong performance for the remainder of 2023 and into next year. We are ahead of our plan for reaching one billion in revenue and feel confident in introducing our guidance for 2024 of achieving over $900 million in annual revenue driven by organic growth. The backbone of our success has been the Company's continued focus on tech enabling healthcare providers and supporting them in simplifying their work lives, modernizing, and digitizing their clinical practices and delivering the best healthcare possible."

Mr. Shahbazi further added, "Our commitment to ensuring that we support our healthcare providers with the most advanced technology has led us to significant investments in Artificial Intelligence. During the quarter, we led an investment that resulted in the re-launch of a new senior listed public company called, HEALWELL AI, a healthcare AI technology and data science company focused on preventative care where we are the largest securityholder. We subsequently entered into a strategic alliance agreement with HEALWELL that enabled us to launch WELL AI Decision Support to our network of clinics and doctors. This is only the beginning as we have a compelling pipeline of opportunities that leverage the power of AI to give healthcare providers clinical decision support tools that will give them their time back, enhance clinic productivity and provide better patient outcomes. We are determined to faithfully support healthcare professionals with the very best technology available which now includes significant investments in AI-based products and services."

Eva Fong, WELL's Chief Financial Officer, added, "In Q3 we achieved record revenue in both our Canadian and US patient services businesses. Furthermore, we've had a great year so far on our organic growth as we have delivered year-to-date vs year over year organic growth of 16%. I am also pleased to report that our leverage ratio(3) of net bank debt to shareholder Adjusted EBITDA reduced from 2.9x at the end of Q3-2022 to 2.6x as of the end of Q3-2023. Our organic growth profile remains strong, and the M&A pipeline continues to be active, allowing us to provide a positive outlook for the remainder of 2023 and beyond."
