TORONTO, May 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ – Greenbrook TMS Inc. (NASDAQ: GBNH) (“Greenbrook” or the “Company“) today announced its first quarter 2023 (“Q1 2023“) operational and financial results. All values in this news release are in United States dollars, unless otherwise stated.
FIRST QUARTER 2023 OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
- Quarterly revenue increased by 52% to $19.9 million, up $6.8 million as compared to the first quarter of 2022 (“Q1 2022“), predominately due to the completion of the acquisition of Check Five LLC (d/b/a “Success TMS”) (“Success TMS“) in the third quarter of 2022 and strong performance in our mature regions as compared to Q1 2022. Patient starts and treatment volumes both increased by 57% to 2,854 and 92,533, respectively, as compared to Q1 2022.
- The Company has made significant progress on its previously-announced comprehensive restructuring plan (the “Restructuring Plan“) during Q1 2023 by eliminating approximately $19 million of annualized costs from the business to date. Q1 2023 results illustrate early signs of progress made through a return to entity-wide regional operating income. We also experienced significant cost reductions, especially in marketing and recurring corporate, general and administrative expenses, without a proportional impact to revenue as compared to the fourth quarter of 2022.
- Loss for the period and comprehensive loss increased by 16% in Q1 2023 to $9.3 million as compared to Q1 2022.
- The Company is excited about the continued roll-out of its Spravato® (esketamine nasal spray) offering at select treatment centers (“Treatment Centers“) to diversify its offering to patients. As of the date of this press release, the Company has expanded its Spravato® offering to 45 Treatment Centers.
- The Company will continue to focus on reducing expenses through implementation of the Restructuring Plan. These savings are expected to be fully reflected in late 2023 as the costs associated with executing these savings begins to dissipate. We believe the Company is on track to achieve its previously-announced target of $22 million to $25 million in cost reductions once the Restructuring Plan is fully implemented.
Bill Leonard, President and Chief Executive Officer of Greenbrook, commented:
“We are very pleased that our focus on the execution of our comprehensive Restructuring Plan has already yielded early positive results, including the return to entity-wide regional operating income. We believe that we are now well-positioned to reduce the business cost structure sufficiently to operate profitably. As we continue to implement the Restructuring Plan, we believe that mental health remains a key focus in the United States and the unmet demand for treatment remains at an all-time high. We continue to offer innovative solutions for this unmet need and our leadership position and nationwide footprint continues to serve as a valuable platform to bring the needed help to patients struggling with depression.”
