Biotricity Reports Continued Margin Improvement and Reduced Losses in its First Quarter Fiscal Year 2025
The Company shows continued progress towards cash-flow break even and profitability
Recurring Technology Fee (SaaS) revenue - over 94% of total revenue with a 76% gross margin, which rose over 400 basis points and is expected to continue to trend higher
Gross margins improved significantly to 73.8 from 63.5% in the same period last year, and 59.6% 2 years earlier
Reduced SG&A to $3 million, down 16% compared to same period last year
Operating loss of $1.1 million, indicated efficiency gains of $1.2 million from the preceding year quarter - a 51.8% improvement
Growth in revenue of 6% YOY to $3.2 million
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA improved by 18.9% and 49.8%, respectively, from the corresponding period in the prior year;
Quarter over preceding Quarter, EBITDA improved by $1M, or 36%, whereas Adjusted EBITDA improved by $1.5M or 59%.
Comprehensive loss was reported at $6.9 million, due to one-time non-cash items of $3.2 million; removing these would have resulted in a net loss of $3.7 million, consistent with prior year levels of $3.8 million due to interest rate increases that countered the impact of efficiency gains
REDWOOD CITY, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 21, 2024 / Biotricity Inc. (OTCQB:BTCY) ("Biotricity" or the "Company"), a Technology-as-a-Service (TaaS) company operating in the remote cardiac monitor sector of consumer healthcare, today announced its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 year ended June 30, 2024.
Dr. Waqaas Al-Siddiq, Biotricity Founder & CEO, commented, "Our first quarter fiscal 2025 marked a strong start to the year. Despite the seasonally low summer months that can last into September, we saw impressive growth in our hospital sales pipeline, and future technology fees and device sales. We continued to achieve efficiencies from our prudent fiscal management aimed at bolstering our bottom line, and the effective use of our distribution channels. Given our consistently strong gross margins on technology fees of approximately 74% this quarter, and our growing recurring revenue, we anticipate continued improvement in overall blended gross margin over time. Our AI segment is also demonstrating accelerated progress. For the remainder of this calendar year, our focus remains increased sales of our remote cardiac monitoring devices and suite of products and ramp-up of our subscription-based service to continue on our clear path to profitability."
"EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA improved by $5.1 million and $5.7 million, or 38% and 46%, respectively when comparing the trailing 12 months to the corresponding prior year trailing 12 month period. This is significant when we consider the EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA measures for the three month period ended June 30, 2024, which improved by 18.9% and 49.8%, respectively. These are indicators of the Company's progress towards breakeven profitability as well as improvement towards operating cash-flow break-even.
