Fiscal 2021 Annual Highlights

Significant financial and operational highlights for MCI during the year ended December 31, 2021 included:

• Revenue Growth Year-on-year: Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased 24% over the same period in 2020, driven by the ongoing recovery of publicly-insured health services, ongoing growth from corporate health services, and revenue contributed by recently acquired businesses. Total revenue for 2021 was $47.8 million, compared to total revenue of $38.6 million in 2020. Revenue contributions from 2021 acquisitions of Khure and Polyclinic accounted for approximately 42% of the growth, and their contributions are expected to continue to increase as the businesses continue to be integrated into MCI’s operations and revenue synergy opportunities continue to develop.
• Increased Patient Volumes: Patient volumes grew approximately 12%, year-on-year, excluding increases from acquired businesses in 2021, and 15% if acquisitions are included. Patient volumes continued to improve despite continuing COVID-19 restrictions as patients and physicians become more comfortable with virtual channels and pent-up demand for health services continues to grow.
• Growth in Corporate Customers: The Company added 87 new corporate health customers in 2021, with the Company now serving more than 500 corporate health customers. Notable corporate customers include Gerdau Ameristeel, Durham Region Police Services, Destination Toronto, Metrolinx, Canadian Broadcast Corporation, Intact Insurance, Coca Cola Ltd. and MHI Aerospace.

• Acquisition of Polyclinic: On July 30, 2021, MCI acquired an 80% interest in Polyclinic for total consideration of $7.1 million. Polyclinic is comprised of The Quit Clinic Inc., Executive Medical Concierge Canada Ltd. and Canadian Phase Onward Inc.

• Acquisition of Khure: On April 26, 2021, MCI acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of Khure for aggregate consideration of up to $12.6 million. Khure’s technology platform harnesses clinical data, enabling physicians to rapidly screen and identify patients with rare diseases and facilitate more personalized treatment.

• Financing & Liquidity: On January 6, 2021, the Company completed its initial public offering, raising net proceeds of $27.6 million.

• Telehealth & Virtual Care: On February 17, 2021, the Company announced the launch of MCI Connect, its first-of-its-kind telemedicine service in Ontario, offering patients Ontario Health Insurance Plan covered appointments through an intuitive and easy-to-use platform.

• Net Losses: Net losses for the year were $15.5 million, as compared to net losses of $1.0 million in the previous year, heavily driven by investments in resources supporting data-driven technology efforts and reflecting increased expenses relating to expansion of personnel, share-based compensation and transaction-related expenses as the Company continues to focus on rapid growth and expansion.
• Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ for the year was negative $4.6 million, as compared to an Adjusted EBITDA of positive $2.3 million in the previous year.

Significant financial and operational highlights for MCI during the fourth quarter of 2021 included:

Outlook

MCI expects to accelerate total company revenue growth in fiscal 2022 as it executes its strategic plan on multiple fronts including:

• Organic growth of government insured health services from its omnichannel network of clinics, telehealth, the MCI Connect virtual platform and a substantial increase in its physician base from new physician recruiting efforts.
• Continued organic growth in health services provided to corporate customers, as it expands its customer base, increases the number of available service offerings and ramps up its efforts to service National and Calgary-based customers.
• New technology partnerships and strategic acquisitions to accelerate its technology roadmap.
• Technology revenue is expected to increase, without the need for any material additional investment: the Company has more than 15 clinical trial and screening engagements with global pharma companies actively underway, as the Company continues momentum targeting the $300 billion North America data and analytics market segment opportunity, with its AI-enabled SaaS platform that provides advanced analytics to third parties. Concrete opportunities are being explored with top pharmaceutical companies, pharmaceutical marketing companies, precision medicine companies and top-tier university centres.
• The Company is further scaling development of its data analytics platform BrightOS, which is expected to become broadly available to the Company’s physicians as a tool to aid in their daily operations as well to external customers later in 2022. Versions of MCI Connect for mobile phones and connected wearables such as Apple iWatch are expected to launch in early 2022.
• Acquisitions of specialty clinics to expand its health service offerings and enter new markets by leveraging technology to deliver more services to its large and growing patient and physician base.
• Exploration of commercial relationships that leverage expressed interest in Khure’s AI-driven clinical evidence around rare diseases to accelerate patient recruitment for clinical trials, accelerate patient access to treatment, support regulatory decision-making through the application of real-world evidence and set the foundations for new AI technologies, and the launch of Khure’s cloud-based version.
