"We are pleased to see that increased physician hours, new facilities and new contracts are contributing to top-line growth," stated Joe Walewicz, Neupath's CEO.

Q1 2023 Financial Results

Total revenue is comprised of clinic revenue and non-clinic revenue. Total revenue was $16.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to, $15.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, up 4.2% year over year. This growth reflects the opening of clinics in Red Deer, our Ottawa fluoroscopy clinic, additional physician hours and growth in our non-clinics business.

Clinic revenue is generated through the provision of medical services to patients. Clinic revenue was $14.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $14.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by continued growth from new clinic openings in late 2022. Capacity utilization for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was 62%, consistent with the comparative quarter and reflecting increased capacity added to our network in the second half of 2022.

Non-clinic revenue was $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Non-clinic revenue is earned from physician staffing where Neupath provides physicians for provincial and federal correctional institutions and hospital health departments across Canada, and from contract research services provided to pharmaceutical companies and clinical research organizations. This revenue fluctuates depending on the need for physicians in certain institutions and the timing and enrolment of clinical studies that the Company is working on. First quarter growth was driven in part by a new contract win for our physician staffing business, effective the start of 2023.

Gross margin % was 18.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to 17.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by a decrease in physician costs as a percentage of revenue. Gross margin for the prior quarter was impacted by remuneration payment accruals due to the HealthPointe Medical Centres Ltd. ("HealthPointe") acquisition of $0.2 million. Excluding these transaction-related accruals, gross margin % would have been 18.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. (See Non-IFRS Financial Measures - Gross Margin below). Adjusted gross margin % was down slightly as clinic startup costs were high in the first quarter, but are expected to normalize in the second half of 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA was $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $0.3 million for the three months March 31, 2022.

The Company has approved the grant of 140,000 Options to certain employees and 1,417,837 Options to officers of the Company to be issued on May 30, 2023, at an exercise price equal to the closing price on the last trading day immediately preceding the grant date, and with an expiry date of May 30, 2030.
