Q3 2023 Highlights

Revenue

Revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 was $3.5M compared to $2.1M for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, an increase of 69% which was primarily driven by organic growth in the pharmacy vertical and an increase in license revenue from CoreHealth offset by a decrease in license revenue at Infotech. Revenue generated in the quarter ended September 30, 2023, was 63% from the employer vertical, an increase from 59% during the same quarter in 2022 due to significant additions of licensed users by customers in our employer vertical. Recurring revenue from the employer vertical business is expected to continue increasing in coming months, following the implementation of several large customers and their ongoing efforts adding incremental end users on our platforms.

Loss from Operations and Net Loss

Loss from operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, was $(0.4)M compared to $(1.6)M in the same period of 2022, an improvement of $1.2M or 77%. The improvement was due to lower sales and marketing costs and a significant increase in revenue during the quarter when compared to the same period last year.

Net loss was $(0.4)M for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to a loss of $(1.7)M for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, an improvement of 77%. The variance is driven mostly by higher revenue and a lower loss from operations.

Adjusted EBITDA (1)

Adjusted EBITDA(1) for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 was positive for the first time, at $0.1M compared to an Adjusted EBITDA(1) loss of $(1.1)M for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, an improvement of $1.2M over the same period in 2022. The corresponding Adjusted EBITDA Margin(1) for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 was 3% compared to (54)% in Q3 2022, and represented a meaningful improvement. Carebook achieved its goal of generating positive Adjusted EBITDA(1) during the quarter demonstrating management's fortitude and discipline to continue to generate increasing revenue while managing costs to reach profitability.

Annual Recurring Revenue

ARR(2) was $11.6M as at September 30, 2023, an increase of $1.9M, or 20%, compared to an ARR(2) of $9.6M as at September 30, 2022. This increase was primarily driven by new enterprise customers and organic growth with existing customers. Of the $11.6M of ARR(2) reported, 61% originated from clients outside of Canada.

Renewal and Amendment of Credit Facilities, Future Capital Raise

On October 20, the Company renewed and amended its existing senior credit facilities with a leading Canadian Schedule I bank (the "Lender"), effective as of October 19, 2023 (the "Renewal Date"). Under the amendment, the Lender agreed to (i) continue providing the Company with a $3M revolving facility (the "Revolving Facility") and (ii) be subrogated to all rights of its affiliate regarding a $1.4M non-revolving term loan facility (the "Term Loan Facility" and together with the Revolving Facility, the "Credit Facilities"). Moreover, the maturity date of the Credit Facilities was extended until September 30, 2024 (the "Maturity Date")

Beginning on the Renewal Date, the applicable margin on the Revolving Facility was decreased to 5.8% over prime, and the applicable margin on the Term Loan Facility was decreased to 5.3% over prime. Applicable margins under both facilities are subject to additional reductions should the Company complete an additional capital raise for aggregate minimum gross proceeds equal to $2.0M on or before the Maturity Date.

The Term Loan Facility is subject to mandatory monthly prepayments of $50,000 on the 15th of each month, commencing on November15th, 2023, such that the Term Loan Facility will be reduced to $0.8M by the Maturity Date. The Credit Facilities are subject to new financial covenants, where the Company must maintain a minimum cash runway and demonstrate minimum revenue growth. The Credit Facilities continue to be secured by a first-ranking security interest in all of the present and future property and assets of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries.

While the credit facilities provide Carebook with the necessary flexibility in order to carry operations, Carebook is currently evaluating various financing opportunities and expect to make additional announcements in the near future as definitive plans are being finalized.
