Corporate Updates
Pre-1954 Pharmacy Charter Purchase
Further to a news release issued on April 26, 2024, the Company wishes to announce that its proposed transaction to acquire a pre-1954 Pharmacy Charter has been cancelled. The transaction was terminated due to changes to the capital gains rates recently announced by the federal government which came into force on June 25, 2024. The parties were unable to agree on a revised consideration structure which would have helped preserve certain historical capital gains for the vendor.
Management Comments
"CTS had a very strong year in 2023 with a solid net profit. We expect CTS to continue its growth pace in 2024. The acquisition of the four IHF's in Calgary added considerably to revenues and to the bottom line at CTS."
"We are now in a period of positive adjusted EBITDA and with the expected revenue stream from our recently completed acquisitions as well as our planned 2024 Yonge Sheppard centre opening, along with the growth of CTS we hope to move towards positive EBITDA and positive net income in 2024 and 2025." Rob Landau, CFO.
"We had a successful year, with double digit growth, and new revenue streams with our in-patient clinics that helped increase gross margins," said Mitch Geisler, CEO. "We have positioned ourselves well, specializing in critical care for patients. The company is now focusing on completing the building of our new Yonge Sheppard Center clinic and integrating our Alberta acquisition."
Non-IFRS Financial Measures
This news release contains financial terms (such as adjusted EBITDA) that are not considered in IFRS. Such financial measures, together with measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, provide useful information to investors and shareholders, as management uses them to evaluate the operating performance of the Company. The Company's determination of these non-IFRS measures may differ from other reporting issuers, and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Further, these non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance or cash flows prepared in accordance with IFRS. These financial measures are included because management uses this information to analyze operating performance and liquidity.
Adjusted EBITDA
Management believes adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure to determine the Company's ability to generate cash available for working capital, capital expenditures, debt repayments, interest expense and income taxes.
EBITDA refers to net income (loss) determined in accordance with IFRS, before depreciation and amortization, net interest expense (income) and income tax expense (recovery). The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, plus stock-based compensation expense, restructuring, fair value adjustments, listing expense and transaction costs, impairment and finance income.
A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) is as follows:
