Dr. Alexander Dobranowski, Chief Executive Officer of HEALWELL, commented, "During the quarter, we delivered record revenue and gross profit, attributable to the growth in commercialization of our AI and data science business units and our recent acquisitions of BioPharma and VeroSource.

Furthermore, our healthcare software divisions have made significant strides, securing key public government contracts that demonstrate the value of our offerings in enabling large-scale, data-driven healthcare management. These wins reflect the growing demand for our AI and healthcare solutions. With this momentum, we are confident in our ability to continue driving revenue growth and executing on our long-term vision for the Company."

Anthony Lam, Chief Financial Officer of HEALWELL, commented, "Our robust acquisition pipeline, coupled with our existing cash reserves, strategically position us for substantial growth ahead. We anticipate that our strategic initiatives over the next few months will lead to further announcements that will demonstrate our march to a revenue run rate that exceeds $100 million and puts us on track to achieve profitability on an Adjusted EBITDA basis in 2025.
