TORONTO, May 27, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VitalHub Corp. (the “Company” or “VitalHub”) (TSXV: VHI) announced today it has filed its Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis report for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 with the Canadian securities authorities. These documents may be viewed under the Company's profile at www.sedar.com.
When asked to comment on the results of Q1 2020, VitalHub CEO Dan Matlow said, “Our first response to COVID-19 was to take immediate and swift action in ensuring the safety of our staff, and that our teams were properly equipped to continue to effectively support our customers. All of our employees in North America, the United Kingdom and Sri Lanka have successfully adjusted to a work from home environment. We began to see the impact of COVID-19 in the middle of the quarter, with requests coming in from clients to extend the utility of some of our offerings toward assisting in the pandemic response, as well as a general slow-down of implementations and business, consistent with the market. Overall, we expect to see a slow-down of activity over the next few quarters. The Company believes it will continue to be cash flow positive even with the reduced activity.”
We would like to highlight the following insights:
- Due to the high amount of non-cash items on the Company’s income statement relating to the amortization of intangibles from acquisitions, we focus primarily on Adjusted EBITDA to track our performance. We continue to make great progress, with Adjusted EBITDA at 10% of revenues.
- Annual contract value grew to $7,486,925.
