• +134% Year-to-Date Revenue Growth Compared to Prior Year

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 30, 2022) -  Kovo HealthTech Corporation (TSXV: KOVO) (the "Company" "Kovo") — a leader in healthcare technology and Billing-as-a-Service — today reported its third quarter financial results for the period ending September 30, 2022.

134% YTD YOY Revenue Growth

Kovo posted 134% year-over-year ("YoY") revenue growth year-to-date versus the same period last year driven by a combination of organic growth of its core SaaS-style medical billing software and services business — and two strategic and accretive acquisitions the Company completed in 2021. Adjusted EBITDA* margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 0.2% and 4.0%, marking the Company's 15^th consecutive positive Adjusted EBITDA quarter.

Consistent Revenue Stability

"Throughout the summer months, Kovo continued to generate predictable revenues thanks to the strength of our Billing-as-a-Service platform and the stable demand for US digital back office healthcare billing solutions," explains CEO Greg Noble. "Although organic growth slowed slightly over the quarter due to US and global macroeconomic conditions and uncertainty, we're satisfied with Kovo's overall growth in 2022, and recently signed an IP licensing partnership agreement, delivering on our strategic focus to leverage our technology investment."

Quarter Highlights:

Listed in thousands USD unless otherwise specified

•  Revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $2,520 and $7,966 and 52% and 134% higher than revenues of $1,654 and $3,405 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

•  Revenue for three months ended September 2022 decreased to $2,520 from $2,609 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 driven by the timing of payment processing as the number of claims processed are slower during the summer months.

• ARR as at September 30, 2022 was approximately $10,300, an 81% increase over September 2021. The Company is investing in new sales staff and additional marketing strategies to be implemented by Q1 2023 to augment organic growth through new channels.

• Kovo continues to consistently and reliably deliver positive cash flow from its RCM operations.

• Annual and year-over-year revenue growth was generated by a combination of new sales and the acquisition of new clients via M&A transactions.

• The Company completed its 15^th consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA reflecting the long-term operating discipline with the organization. Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $5 and $316 relative to Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 of $7 and $137. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 0.2% and 4.0% (three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 — 0.4% and 4.0%). The Company remains focused on driving performance with continued investment in staffing and operational excellence. These investments are transitory and required to support future acquisitions which will provide greater economies of scale.

Forward-Looking Information and Statements

This press release contains "forward-looking information" and "forward-looking statements" (collectively, "forward-looking information") concerning the Company and its subsidiaries within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Forward-looking information may relate to the future financial outlook and anticipated events or results of the Company and may include information regarding the Company's financial position, business strategy, growth strategies, acquisition prospects and plans, addressable markets, budgets, operations, financial results, taxes, dividend policy, plans and objectives. Particularly, information regarding the Company's expectations of future results, performance, achievements, prospects or opportunities or the markets in which the Company operates is forward-looking information. In some cases, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "plans", "targets", "expects", "budgets", "scheduled", "estimates", "outlook", "forecasts", "projects", "prospects", "strategy", "intends", "anticipates", "believes", or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might", or "will" occur. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, intentions, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances contain forward-looking information. Statements containing forward-looking information are not historical facts but instead represent management's expectations, estimates and projections regarding future events or circumstances. Many factors could cause the Company's actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking information, including, without limitation, those listed in the "Risk Factors" section of the final prospectus of the Company dated May 26, 2021. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results, performance, or achievements could vary materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this press release. Forward-looking information, by its nature, is based on the Company's opinions, estimates and assumptions in light of management's experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors that the Company currently believes are appropriate and reasonable in the circumstances. Those factors should not be construed as exhaustive. Despite a careful process to prepare and review forward-looking information, there can be no assurance that the underlying opinions, estimates and assumptions will prove to be correct. These factors should be considered carefully, and readers should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking information. Although the Company bases its forward-looking information on assumptions that it believes were reasonable when made, which include, but are not limited to, assumptions with respect to the Company's future growth potential, results of operations, future prospects and opportunities, execution of the Company's business strategy, there being no material variations in the current tax and regulatory environments, future levels of indebtedness and current economic conditions remaining unchanged, the Company cautions readers that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which the Company operates may differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this press release. In addition, even if the Company's results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which it operates are consistent with the forward-looking information contained in this press release, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. This press release makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the Company's results of operations from management's perspective. The Company's definitions of non-IFRS measures used in this release may not be the same as the definitions for such measures used by other companies in their reporting. Non-IFRS measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company's financial information reported under IFRS. The Company uses non-IFRS financial measures, including "ARR**", "EBITDA", "Adjusted EBITDA*" and "Adjusted EBITDA Margin" to provide investors with supplemental measures of its operating performance and to eliminate items that have less bearing on operating performance or operating conditions and thus highlight trends in its core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. "EBITDA" means net income (loss) before amortization and depreciation expenses, finance and interest costs, and provision for income taxes. *"Adjusted EBITDA" adjusts EBITDA for stock-based compensation expense, transactional gains or losses on assets, asset impairment charges, interest income, net foreign exchange gains or losses, income tax expense or recovery, forgivable one-time government financial payments related to the COVID-19 pandemic ("PPP Loans"), and any transactional expenses. Specifically, the Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with the Company's results under IFRS and the accompanying reconciliations, provides useful information about the Company's business without regard to potential distortions. By eliminating potential differences in results of operations between periods caused by factors such as depreciation and amortization methods and restructuring, impairment and other charges, the Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful additional basis for comparing the current performance of the underlying operations being evaluated. The Company believes that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS financial measures in the evaluation of issuers. The Company's management also uses non-IFRS financial measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period. Although the Company has attempted to identify important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information, there may be other risk factors not presently known to the Company or that the Company presently believes are not material that could also cause actual results or future events to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking information. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information, which speaks only as of the date made (or as of the date they are otherwise stated to be made). Any forward-looking statement that is made in this press release speaks only as of the date of such statement.
