All financial information is presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.

“This was a milestone quarter for CloudMD as it’s the first quarter we recognized full revenue contributions from all the recently closed acquisitions and clearly demonstrated that our whole-person, patient-centric approach to healthcare is working. We’ve onboarded 560,000 individuals onto our Comprehensive Integrated Health Platform and are providing valuable data-driven outcomes, which is proven by our successful program with Sun Life where 89% of those experiencing depression and 91% of those experiencing anxiety noticed major improvements.

Third Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights
- Q3 2021 revenue was $39.2 million, compared to $15.7 million in Q2 2021 and $3.4 million in Q3 2020. The increase is primarily attributable to acquisition growth with 4 acquisitions completed in the preceding quarter, and 14 acquisitions completed in the last 12 months.

- Q3 2021 gross margin was 34.0%, compared to 35.5% in Q2 2021 and 37.5% in Q3 2020. The decrease is due to revenue mix where the Company’s patient support programs and online eyewear platform, currently lower-margin businesses, represented 32% of revenues for the current quarter. The Company expects its gross margin to increase due to ongoing efforts to integrate its acquisitions and increase its operational efficiency.

- Net comprehensive loss attributable to equity holders of the Company in Q3 2021 was $4.2 million or $0.02 per share, compared to $6.2 million or $0.03 per share in Q2 2021 and $2.7 million or $0.02 per share in Q3 2020.
