Great news and great numbers!!!PHM Announces Intention to Make Normal Course Issuer Bid (Share Buy Back); Highlights Record Revenue and EBITDA for the Quarter; Appoints New CEO and President (ccnm)
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA--(Marketwired - July 13, 2015) - NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER OF THE SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN. Patient Home Monitoring (PHM) (TSX VENTURE:PHM), a profitable company focused on rolling-up annuity-based healthcare service companies in the U.S., announced today that, subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"), it intends to make a normal course issuer bid to purchase up to 14,511,207 common shares of the issued and outstanding common shares of PHM.
PHM also highlighted its revenue and Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ending June 30, 2015. Total quarterly revenue for PHM, including June 2015 revenue for Sleep Management, exceeded $19 million, as compared to PHM's revenue of $13.04 million for the quarter ending March 31, 2015, a 48% growth rate quarter-over-quarter. See financial highlights below for more details on total quarterly accounting.
Additionally, PHM announced it has appointed Casey Hoyt as Chief Executive Officer and Mike Moore as President, subject to Exchange approval. Michael Dalsin and Roger Greene, Chairman and Vice-Chairman respectively, will transition to non-executive board members.
Share Buy Back (NCIB) The normal course issuer bid will commence three trading days after Exchange approval and will terminate 12-months thereafter or the date by which PHM has acquired the maximum shares which may be purchased under the bid. The common shares will be acquired through the facilities of the Exchange and the purchase and payment for the shares will be made by PHM in accordance with the requirements of the Exchange and all other applicable laws. The price paid by PHM for any common shares acquired by it will be the market price of the shares at the time of acquisition. In addition, the directors of PHM have ensured PHM will not pay more than $1.50 per share. All shares acquired by PHM under this bid will be cancelled. Purchases made pursuant to the bid may be made by Mackie Research Capital Corporation, GMP Securities and Beacon Securities on behalf of PHM. Pursuant to the Exchange's policies, up to 5,804,483 of PHM's common shares will be purchasable over any 30-day period within the bid period, being 2% of PHM's issued and outstanding common shares.
PHM is engaging in a normal course issuer bid because it believes that, from time to time, the market price of its common shares may not fully reflect the underlying value of its business and its future business prospects. As a result, depending upon future price movements and other factors, PHM believes that its outstanding common shares may represent an attractive investment, since a portion of PHM's excess cash can be invested for an attractive risk adjusted return on capital through its bid.
Both for the NCIB and for future acquisitions, PHM has executed an additional $15,750,000 loan facility at 6% annual interest rate. This will bring PHM's debt total to just under $21,000,000.
Highlights for the Quarter Ending June 30, 2015 The company provided highlights of its revenue and profitability for the third quarter of fiscal 2015. Full results are expected to be posted on Sedar before their due date of August 31, 2015.

Appointment of Chief Executive Officer and President With the recent acquisition of Sleep Management, a company with $42 million in annualized run-rate revenue, PHM has adopted an additional strategy to generate organic growth through geographic expansion by opening new territories de novo. As a result of this additional strategy, the PHM board of directors is pleased to announce it has appointed Casey Hoyt and Mike Moore, founders of Sleep Management, as Chief Executive Officer and President, respectively. David Hayes will remain on as a key senior executive and member of the executive committee focused on revenue growth.
Additionally, Michael Dalsin and Roger Greene, Chairman and Vice Chairman, respectively will transition to non-executive board members as Casey Hoyt and Mike Moore take over as lead spokesmen for PHM.
"PHM is at an important and exciting inflection point," said Casey Hoyt, Incoming CEO of PHM. "We feel this is a great entry point for us to get involved with a company like PHM. PHM is only at its infancy and we see tremendous growth opportunities so we're excited to get to work. Mike and I are looking forward to applying the same successful organic growth methodology to all of PHM that resulted in 100% year-over year organic growth for Sleep Management."
"Because we decided to take a significant stake in PHM, cumulatively well over 10%, this share buy back is important to us," continued Mr. Hoyt. "While PHM needed to issue shares for acquisitions and capital to get to this point, we are committed to controlling the number of shares in the market going forward. For future acquisitions, we will look to do cash buy-outs. After this quarter is posted on Sedar, we look forward to meeting our fellow shareholders both in the US and Canada face-to-face."
