The Company Reports nine-month year-over-year revenue growth of 1,349%

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE November 22, 2021 / EMPOWER CLINICS INC.

"This quarter marked the start of a new chapter for the Company and the Empower team," said Steven McAuley, Chairman and CEO of Empower. "We launched The Medi-Collective brand and clinics, expanded Kai Labs' facilities and completed the acquisition of MediSure. Each of these milestones is an intrinsic aspect of our strategic growth vision.

Steven McAuley added, "with positive year-over-year growth coming out of this quarter, we will maximize our fully operational divisions' capabilities and reach across Canada and the U.S. I'm encouraged by our partnerships and acquisitions progress into Q4 2021 and look forward to the coming months."

  • Revenue from continuing operations1 of $405,707 compared to $85,960 in Q3 2020, representing 372% year over year growth.
  • Revenue from continuing operations1 of $3,226,335 for nine months YTD 2021 compared to $222,690 for nine months YTD 2020, representing 1,349% year over year growth.
  • Cash at September 30, 2021 of $2,160,587, compared to $4,889,824 at December 31, 2020.

  • Loss from operations1 increased to $903,406 for Q3 2021 from $743,589 for Q3 2020, primarily driven by the ramp up of operations in the Company's business units and the pursuit of acquisitions at the corporate level.
  • Net income from continuing operations1 of $2,330,242 or $0.01 per share compared to net loss of $313,622 or $0.00 loss per share for Q3 2020, which was primarily driven by a non-cash gain on the fair value adjustment related to the Company's warrants outstanding resulting from movement of the Company's share price (a key input in determining the fair value), offset by increased operating expenses.

Financial Performance

Revenues for Q3 2021 and Q3 2020 were $405,707 and $85,960, respectively. This increase over prior year is attributable to the acquisition of Kai Medical and the strong revenue resulting from COVID-19 testing as well as clinic services being provided through The Medi-Collective and the additional revenue stream resulting from the sale of diabetes testing equipment since the acquisition of MediSure.

Direct expenses for Q3 2021 and Q3 2020 were $18,377 and $39,202, respectively. This decrease over prior year is primarily attributable to the reversal of a provision taken on certain inventory in Kai Medical prior to obtaining regulatory approval, offset by the Company's ramp up of staffing as the Company expands its clinic presence in Canada through The Medi-Collective.

Loss from operations for Q3 2021 and Q3 2020 were $903,406 and $743,589 respectively. This increase from prior year is primarily attributable to the increase in business activity resulting from the MediSure acquisition and other acquisition pursuits within The Medi-Collective.

The Company achieved net income in Q3 2021 of $2,330,242 and net loss of $313,622 in Q3 2020. Net income in Q3 2021 is primarily attributable to the gain on change in fair value recognized on the warrant liability (as determined by the Black-Scholes option pricing model) which resulted from the decrease in the Company's share price between June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021 and therefore the fair value allocated to warrants.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as income (loss) from continuing operations before depreciation and amortization, interest, accretion, share-based compensation, and gain or loss from changes in fair value of warrant liability. Adjusted EBITDA in Q3 2021 was $340,518 compared to $668,449 in Q3 2020. Adjusted EBITDA is a metric used by management to monitor the Company's revenues compared to its cash operating costs in an effort to trend toward improved profitability.

During Q3 2021, the Company used $1,233,970 in cash from continuing operations after changes in non-cash working capital. The Company invested $870,823 for the purchase of property and equipment and spent $870,823 on the purchase of property and equipment.
