“We are pleased to announce our sustained growth in the second quarter of 2023,” said Shane Madden, CEO of Hydreight. “Our progress spans every facet of our operations. Concurrently, we’ve been focusing on fortifying our infrastructure and advancing our technology, including expanding our network of business partners, new platform built on the newest technology with enterprise-level software, direct booking features and a dispatch call centre. These enhancements to our business have empowered nurses and customers to access Hydreight’s services seamlessly and in full compliance. We are proud to say that Hydreight is a premium solution for mobile medicine.”

Hydreight is a telehealth platform that enables flexible home healthcare, bridging the gap between providers and patients when it comes to compliance and patient convenience. Our platform also empowers nurses, med spa technicians, and other licensed healthcare professionals to deliver services independently, on their own terms and with a flexible schedule, while also having the option to add mobile services to existing location-based operations. Through the app, individuals can schedule services with healthcare professionals to their home, office, hotel, or other places. Hydreight facilitates medical director oversight, liability insurance, competitively priced prescriptions via a 503B licensed pharmacy, and more. The platform is easy to use and includes a built-in suite of fully integrated tools for accounting, documentation, sales, inventory, booking, managing patient data, and more, which makes it possible to deliver mobile medicine across 50 US states.

Hydreight is Positioned for Growth: Through its app, Hydreight has created an infrastructure that enables nurses to provide services outside of a hospital and other brick-and-mortar facilities. Through Hydreight’s affiliated medical practices, nurses who are also existing app users will gain exclusive access to benefits that they typically would be unable to obtain independently in many jurisdictions throughout the United States (a qualified medical director and physicians who are licensed to practice medicine in every state, pharmacy procurement, and professional liability insurance). Nurses or other healthcare providers can use the Hydreight platform to provide at-home offerings to patients.

The Company’s performance for the second quarter of 2023 has seen a significant increase across all revenue streams compared to the same period in the prior year:

The Company believes the following Non-GAAP¹ financial measures provide meaningful insight to aid in the understanding of the Company’s performance and may assist in the evaluation of the Company’s business relative to that of its peers:

Hydreight achieved revenue of C$2,699,668 and C$5,048,084 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and recognized a net loss of C$471,890 and C$594,194 over the same periods. Included in total operating expenses of C$2,614,934 over the first half of 2023 are significant expenditures in professional, legal, and technical consulting fees invested to position the Company to compete with the largest companies, private and public, in the heavily regulated healthcare industry in the United States.

“The team continuously monitors both internal and external key indicators to ensure that we use data-driven decision-making. We have strategically expanded each division of the Company in proportion with its ability to drive revenue, putting additional focus on scaling those areas of the business that demonstrate the strongest performance,” added Madden. “At the same time, we are committed to remaining nimble and fine-tuning our strategy as needed, recognizing that our medical network structure has provided us with a unique level of flexibility in the market.”

The 503B landscape in 2021 experienced some significant legislative changes regarding patient-specific prescriptions for some medications that were previously available without a prescription. Hydreight, through its medical network structure and nationally approved telemedicine features within the platform, was uniquely positioned to fill this gap in the market.

Subsequent to the period ended March 31, 2023, the Company adjusted the subscription revenue calculation, due to cut off differences between the first and second quarters, resulting in an adjustment of C$283,401 to the first quarter revenue and a corresponding decrease in gross margin of C$230,160 for the same time period.
