SAN DIEGO, Oct. 05, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Salona Global Medical Device Corporation (“SGMD”, “Salona Global” or the “Company”) (TSXV:SGMD), an acquisition-oriented medical device company serving the global injury and surgery recovery (known as recovery science) market, today provided an update on the US$7,500,000 sales order (the “Sales Order”) for medical supplies it announced on July 26, 2022. The Sales came through a large customer using the GPO sales channel announced on November 30, 2021.
Through September 30, 2022, approximately 90% of the Sales Order has been delivered. The Company expects to complete delivery of the Sales Order by the end of November 2022 (the ending of the fiscal third quarter). As of August 31, 2020, the Company has received proceeds of $4.2 million. Because the nature of the order, the customer, and its supplier, the Company has determined, due to specific US GAAP accounting rules, that the transaction does not qualify for recognition as revenue, therefore net cash flow will be reflected in the statement of cash flows and the balance sheet based on the previously executed earnout agreements. The total net cash flow earned through the end of September equals approximately $850,000.
“We are always looking to be opportunistic to increase our revenue, profits and cash flow,” said Luke Faulstick, CEO of Salona Global. “While we were not able to book the proceeds as revenue due to a technical accounting rule, we nevertheless expect to increase our cash flow by approximately $1 million this fiscal year because of this opportunity. We continue to see more and more opportunities in every part of our market, from acquisitions to product IP to distribution deals. Our focus for the second quarter has been both to prepare for the integration of the upcoming large acquisition we announced August 15, 2022, as well as delivering this large sales order.”
Total Shares Outstanding Calculation
For the purposes of calculating partially diluted shares outstanding (not including warrants or options), there is a total of 95,842,767 shares.
This is a sum of (1) issued and outstanding common shares of SGMD trading on the TSXV (“Common Shares”), (2) Class “A” non-voting common shares of SGMD, convertible 1-to-1 into Common Shares (“Class “A” Shares”)*, (3) shares issued through satisfaction of earnouts, convertible 1-to-1 into Class “A” Shares, and (4) shares management expects will be issued through the satisfaction of earnouts, convertible 1-to-1 into Class “A” Shares.
The sum is as follows:
- 53,707,779 Common Shares;
- 1,355,425 Class “A” Shares;
- 19,019,000 shares issued to the sellers of South Dakota Partners Inc. who have already earned the right to acquire an equal amount of Class “A” Shares; and
- 21,760,563 shares the management expects to issue to (i) the sellers of Mio-Guard, LLC who can earn the right to acquire up to 6,300,000 Class “A” Shares assuming full satisfaction of their earnout provision, (ii) the sellers of Simbex LLC who can earn the right to acquire up to 6,383,954 Class “A” Shares assuming full satisfaction of their earnout provision, (iii) the sellers of Damar Plastics Manufacturing, Inc. who can earn the right to acquire up to 6,576,609 Class “A” Shares assuming full satisfaction of their earnout provision, and (iv) the Agent (as such term is defined in the November 30, 2021 news release) is expected to earn the right to acquire up to 2,500,000 Class “A” shares related to performance of the Sales Order. The Company does not anticipate any additional sales through its LLC subsidiary (“LLC”, as such term is defined in the November 30, 2021 news release). Accordingly, the Company does not expect to issue more than a maximum of 2,500,000 Class “A” Shares to the Agent.
* Class “A” shares have the same attributes as the Common Shares, except that they are not listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, do not carry the right to vote, and are convertible, subject to certain terms and conditions, including a provision prohibiting a holder of Class “A” Shares from converting Class “A” Shares for Common Shares if it would result in such holder holding more than 9.9% of the Common Shares, into Common Shares on a one-for-one basis.
Full financial results from the fiscal second quarter will be filed within the interim financial statements for the three and six months ended August 31, 2022, with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and available at www.sec.gov, and with the securities regulatory authorities in certain provinces of Canada and available at www.sedar.com, on or before October 17, 2022.
