GREENBROOK TMS REPORTS FIRST QUARTER OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL RESULTS
TORONTO, May 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Greenbrook TMS Inc. (OTCQB: GBNHF) ("Greenbrook" or the "Company") today announced its first quarter 2024 ("Q1 2024") operational and financial results. All values in this news release are in United States dollars, unless otherwise stated.
FIRST QUARTER 2024 OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
-- Despite the closure of mental health service centers ("Treatment
Centers") in connection with the Company's previously-announced
comprehensive restructuring plan (the "Restructuring Plan") and the
impact of patient billing and collections disruptions resulting from the
ransomware cyberattack on Change Healthcare Solutions LLC ("Change
Healthcare") that affected the broader healthcare industry, quarterly
revenue decreased by only 7% to $18.0 million, down $1.3 million as
compared to the first quarter of 2023 ("Q1 2023").
-- Regional operating loss increased by 401% in Q1 2024 to $2.5 million, up
$2.0 million as compared to Q1 2023, due to the reduction in revenue,
increase in marketing spend and investments in the Company's cost
structure associated with the continued rollout of its Spravato®
(esketamine nasal spray) ("Spravato®") offering in Q1 2024.
-- Loss for the period and comprehensive loss increased by 36% in Q1 2024
to $14.5 million, up $3.9 million as compared to Q1 2023, due to the
increase in regional operating loss and the increase in interest expense
arising from additional debt financings completed subsequent to Q1 2023.
-- The Company continued its roll-out of its Spravato® offering at select
Treatment Centers to diversify its offering to patients. The Company has
expanded its Spravato® offering to 84 Treatment Centers to date.
-- The Company continued its pilot program to roll-out the facilitation of
medication management and began a pilot program to roll-out talk therapy
at select Treatment Centers. The Company believes that these programs
will allow it to reach patients earlier in their treatment journey,
develop an internal patient pipeline for transcranial magnetic
stimulation ("TMS") and Spravato® treatments, while also further
optimizing marketing costs. The Company has expanded its medication
management offering to nine Treatment Centers to date and its talk
therapy program to Treatment Centers within Florida and Missouri.
Bill Leonard, President and Chief Executive Officer of Greenbrook, commented:
"Despite the impact of the patient billing and collections disruptions resulting from Change Healthcare in Q1 2024, we have established a strong business foundation with the substantially completed Restructuring Plan, that we believe provides a path to profitability, as we begin to reinvest in our business. We remain excited to continue our roll-out of new treatment modalities, including our previously-announced medication management and talk therapy pilots and our Spravato® "buy & bill" program, which will complement our current "administer and observe" programs, allowing us to further enhance our access to patients. By becoming a comprehensive mental health provider and expanding our continuum of care, we believe that we will be able to provide even greater access and quality of care to those suffering from MDD and other mental health disorders."
