  • CRH Medical Corporation ("CRH"), a wholly owned subsidiary of WELL Health, through its existing subsidiary CRH Anesthesia of Florida, LLC, has completed two majority stake acquisitions for 70% of Destin Anesthesia, LLC ("Destin") and 51% of Pinellas County Anesthesia Associates, LLC ("PCAA").
  • Destin's current estimated annualized revenue run rate is approximately US$3.0M with EBITDA margins(1) of nearly 40%, while PCAA's current estimated annualized revenue run rate is approximately US$8.0 million with EBITDA margins(1) of approximately 50%.
  • These two accretive acquisitions mark CRH's 9th and 10th transactions, respectively, in FY2021 and increase CRH's footprint to a total of 82 ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) or endoscopy centers across the United States.
  • These acquisitions also add 50 practitioners to CRH's team which had already exceeded 800 advanced healthcare practitioners who are all anesthesia providers.

VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 7, 2021 /CNW/ - WELL Health Technologies Corp. (TSX: WELL) (the "Company" or "WELL"), a company focused on positively impacting health outcomes by leveraging technology to empower healthcare practitioners and their patients globally announced today that it's wholly owned subsidiary, CRH Medical Corporation ("CRH"), has completed two accretive transactions whereby it has acquired 70% of Destin Anesthesia, LLC ("Destin") and 51% of Pinellas County Anesthesia Associates, LLC ("PCAA").

"We are very excited to expand our anesthesia service line with these two acquisitions.  PCAA marks the largest group of healthcare practitioners we have welcomed to the CRH family this year," commented Jay Kreger, President of CRH Anesthesia. "These two acquisitions mark our 9th and 10th transactions of 2021.  Joining the WELL network earlier this year has strengthened our position as the anesthesia provider of choice for Gastroenterologists and outpatient centers."

Destin provides anesthesia services to an ambulatory surgical center in Destin, Florida and represents CRH's 38th transaction.  The acquisition of Destin Anesthesia is expected to be immediately accretive to CRH's cashflows, with an estimated current annual revenue run-rate of approximately US$3.0 million with operating EBITDA margins(1) of nearly 40%.

The West Florida based, PCAA provides anesthesia services to four (4) endoscopy ASCs and represents CRH's 39th transaction.  The acquisition is expected to be immediately accretive to CRH's cashflows and represents an estimated current annual revenue run-rate of approximately US$8.0 million with operating EBITDA margins(1) of approximately 50%.

Footnotes:


1.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") and EBITDA Margin are each Non-GAAP measures. EBITDA should not be construed as alternatives to net income/loss determined in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). EBITDA does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. The Company believes that EBITDA is a meaningful financial metric as it measures cash generated from operations which the Company can use to fund working capital requirements, service future interest and principal debt repayments and fund future growth initiatives. For a reconciliation of EBITDA to Net income, please refer to the Company's most recent Management Discussion and Analysis on Sedar.com. EBITDA Margin is EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue.
