Hydreight Technologies Provides Corporate Update

C.VST, V.NURS

Hydreight Technologies’ CEO and President, Shane Madden, provides an update on the Company’s 2022 performance and 2023 outlook

VANCOUVER, British Columbia and LAS VEGAS, Feb. 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hydreight Technologies Inc. ("Hydreight" or the "Company") (TSXV: NURS)(FSE: SO6) a fast-growing telehealth platform and medical network enabling flexible home healthcare, is pleased to provide a corporate update from CEO and President, Shane Madden.

Dear Hydreight Shareholders:

2022 was a pivotal year for the Company. The platform’s user base has shown continuous month-over-month growth, and we anticipate that this growth will continue into 2023 and beyond.

The Hydreight platform is the only turnkey mobile medical solution that makes it possible for nurses and other licensed health and wellness professionals, across all 50 states in the U.S., to monetize their credentials and deliver services independently, on their own terms. Before Hydreight, this was not possible. Without the regulatory framework that we provide, it would be illegal for a nurse to provide medical services outside of a hospital or clinic. Our vision for Hydreight is to be the platform where mobile medicine happens.

The U.S. home healthcare market is expected to C$339.3 billion (CAD) by 2030, according to Fortune Business Insights.

It has been incredibly rewarding for the team to see the lives of so many nurses on our platform transformed; and we are also changing the lives of patients who can now book services on demand, wherever they are. The platform offers a growing list of services such as IV therapy, select lab testing, aesthetic services such as Botox, and more. Hydreight has given nurses the option of working independently, with more flexibility or simply supplementing their income with a side hustle. On Hydreight, nurses can make their own hours, set their own prices to earn better pay, gain back control over their careers, and their lives, and be able to focus on what they love: delivering the best level of care they can.

The past 24 months have been focused on structuring the company to optimize scalability and grow brand awareness in a grassroots way while fine-tuning our messaging and positioning. 2023 will be the year we use that solid foundation to take our growth to the next level.

2022 Highlights:

Sales and Marketing:

  • Service and pharmacy sales in app increased over 250%
  • The platform attracted 707 new sign ups from service providers in 2022, an increase of 593% over 2021
  • Hydreight participated as the lead sponsor of the "National Nurses March" in Washington, DC in May of 2022, which attracted tens of thousands of overworked, underappreciated, and frustrated nurses

Technology:

  • The Company completed a major platform build update to significantly enhance its scalability and feature offering, particularly for whitelabeling strategic business-to-business (B2B) accounts
  • The app received a significant update to empower providers on the platform to take greater control of their service offering, while also offering better in-app training, performance, usability, reporting, and more

Corporate:

  • Completed successful merger and acquisition with Victory Square Technologies (CSE:VST)(OTC: VSQTF), significantly expanding the Company’s access to resources and networks
  • Completed successful listing on the TSX Venture Exchange and began trading on the TSX-V under the symbol ‘NURS’ on December 1, 2022
  • Secured additional financing for the Company, bringing the total capital raised to C$3.87 million
  • Secured major partnerships with pharmaceutical partners including Empower, McKesson, Medline, and Olympia, to ensure consistent supply as well as preferred pricing on products and medications
  • Achieved revenue growth of 286% (details below)

2022 (CAD) 2021 (CAD) Growth %
Total top line non-GAAP revenue (Adjusted Revenue)** $ 8,580,361 $ 2,143,527 300 %

Looking forward to 2023:

We are excited to capitalize on the momentum we’ve gained to date. In 2023, we anticipate focusing on several key objectives:

  • Scaling the Hydreight user base in 2023
  • Scaling Hydreight’s white label clients user base
  • Securing new pharmaceutical partners to build the platform product and medication catalog, while also improving margins and improved supply chain agility, and reliability
  • Generating awareness in the nursing community and amongst potential patients
  • Building strategic relationships with current and potential investors, generating increased awareness in the capital markets
  • Participating in additional industry events to generate brand awareness
  • List on the OTCQB Exchange
  • Produce quarterly CEO webinars and business updates to ensure consistent communication with investors and partners
  • Expand the portfolio of products and services that can be delivered via the Hydreight platform, which already includes IV, Botox, lab testing, and more
  • Streamline onboarding and user training to expedite efficient user base growth
  • Continue to drive revenue growth through multiple revenue streams including: annual subscription fees, pharmacy sales, white label sales, and a 10% commission on all bookings

Conclusion:

We are pleased with what we have achieved in 2022, but we are even more optimistic about the Company’s significant potential to continue that growth in 2023.

The Hydreight platform is the only platform that makes it possible for nurses and other licensed healthcare professionals across the U.S. to take control of their careers and deliver health and wellness services independently. We are empowering nurses to gain work-life balance, better working conditions, more control over their income, and an altogether better life that empowers them to focus on doing what they love - caring for people.

We have consistently been ahead of the curve. Hydreight began on this path before the COVID-19 pandemic began, which meant that we were already equipped to provide mobile medicine and more flexible healthcare services when the lockdowns were in place and bottlenecks for care were widespread. Mobile medicine has now become top of mind and it is not going anywhere. Our vision for Hydreight is to be the gold standard platform where mobile medicine happens. We are well on our way to leading this market into the future.
