Evome Medical Technologies Reviews Highlights of Low-CapEx Revenue Growth Plan


Posts updated corporate presentation to website

Reminder: Conference call to be held on August 19th to discuss Q2 2024 financial results

SHIRLEY, N.Y., Aug. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Evome Medical Technologies Inc. (the “Company” or “Evome”) (TSXV: EVMT) highlights its low-CapEx plan for growing revenue in an updated corporate presentation now available at www.evomemedical.com/investor.

The presentation, to be used during investor meetings planned for next month in New York, Vancouver, Montreal, and Toronto, highlights recent progress to stabilize the business and generate consistent positive Adjusted EBITDA1, as well as a fresh growth strategy based on leveraging the Biodex® brand of its core business, Biodex Medical Systems, Inc. (“Biodex”), and its more than 15,000 customers served over the past 30 years. The revenue strategy features expanding the product portfolio with the addition of novel products, largely sourced from single-product companies that are privately owned and undercapitalized, and are suffering from limited distribution, both domestically and internationally.

Growth Plan Highlights

  • Focus on Core Expertise: Prioritize clinical devices, therapeutic modalities and digital applications that complement Biodex's® strengths in orthopedic, neurologic and cardiopulmonary rehabilitation.
  • Global Distribution Network: Utilize Biodex’s® extensive network of 52 distributors reaching more than 70 countries to maximize market reach and penetration.
  • Brand Leverage: Capitalize on the Biodex® brand, widely recognized as a leader in isokinetic physical therapy, to drive brand trust and product sales.
  • Strategic Acquisitions: Aim to acquire or license one new product per quarter, beginning in Q4 of this year.

"The Biodex® brand and its large customer database are the keys to our success and future growth,” said Mike Seckler, CEO. “Our customers demand new and novel devices and services, and they trust our brand and value their long-standing relationships with us. As such, we are well-positioned to make other products available to expand their clinical offering and keep them competitive. At the same time, there are hundreds of small, private companies who are selling a single product with limited U.S. distribution and no international reach. By acquiring or licensing these products, we can brand them as Biodex® and make them available to our customers worldwide.”

“From a financial perspective, our plan is based on using very limited capital thereby reducing our need for debt or equity financing to grow revenue,” he added. “Our plan is to leverage existing relationships and invest in sales and marketing, rather than pursue capital-intensive product development."

Prior to joining Evome, Mr. Seckler served as VP of Global Marketing at Ferring Pharmaceuticals, a multibillion-dollar company, where he led revenue growth and international distribution and was responsible for evaluating potential mergers, acquisitions and business development initiatives.

This press release refers to “Adjusted EBITDA” which is a non-GAAP and non-IFRS financial ‎measure ‎that does ‎not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP or IFRS. The ‎Company’s presentation ‎of this financial ‎measure may not be comparable to similarly titled ‎measures used by other ‎companies. This non-GAAP financial measure assists the Company’s ‎management in comparing its ‎operating performance over time because certain items may ‎obscure underlying business trends and ‎make comparisons of long-term performance difficult, ‎as they are of a nature and/or size that occur ‎with inconsistent frequency or relate to discrete ‎acquisition plans that are fundamentally different ‎from the ongoing operating plans of the ‎Company. The Company’s management also believes that ‎presenting this measure allows ‎investors to view the Company’s performance using the same ‎measures that the Company ‎uses in evaluating its financial and business performance and trends.‎ “Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as net loss excluding interest expense, provision for income ‎taxes, ‎depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of right-of-use asset, amortization ‎of intangible ‎asset, foreign exchange (loss) gain, other income, provision for impairment, ‎change in fair value of ‎contingent consideration, transaction costs, gain/loss on sale of business and stock-based ‎‎compensation.‎
