Ending a challenging financial year with optimistic prospects for 2023
NAPLES, Fla., April 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — HealthLynked Corp. (OTCQB: HLYK), a global healthcare network dedicated to care management of its members and a provider of healthcare technologies connecting doctors, patients, and medical data, announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022.
Full Year 2022 Financial Results
For the year ended December 31, 2022, HealthLynked reported revenue of $5.86 million, a 10% decrease compared to $6.50 million in 2021. The decline is primarily attributed to decreases in patient service revenue at our Naples Women’s Center and Bridging the Gap facilities, as well as lower product revenue from MedOfficeDirect. However, this was partially offset by revenue increases at our Naples Center for Functional Medicine facility and revenue from the newly-acquired Aesthetics Enhancements Unlimited practice.
A full impairment charge of $2.75 million was recognized to write off the carrying value of intangible assets related to our MedOfficeDirect business, $1.98 million of which would have been amortized over the next 34 months. The impairment charge resulted primarily from declining revenues and ongoing losses since the acquisition of MedOfficeDirect in October 2020. Despite the impairment charge, recent key initiatives, including pricing overhaul, partnership with Synchrony Bank’s CareCredit, flexible payment options, and targeted marketing initiatives such as its reward points program, have positioned MedOfficeDirect for potential significant revenue growth and profitability from product sales in 2023 and beyond.
Our ACO/MSO business was moved to discontinued operations in 2022 following the sale of the business in January 2023. The sale included an initial payment of $750,000. HealthLynked is still expecting additional payments of up to $1,750,000 by July 2023, potential 2022 performance year net shared savings paid in October 2023, and a final payment of up to $500,000 in October 2024. Moreover, HealthLynked could earn potential equity consideration in the event that the buyer completes an IPO by August 2024 of up to $7 million in IPO shares.
Net losses decreased by 15% from ($10.41) million in 2021 to ($8.82) million in 2022, largely due to debt extinguishment charges of $4.96 million in 2021 and higher non-cash income from changes in fair value of contingent acquisition consideration in 2022, offset by higher operating losses driven by the impairment charge in 2022.
Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Results
For the fourth quarter of 2022, HealthLynked reported revenue of $1.41 million, an 11% decrease compared to $1.59 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily due to decreases in patient service revenue at our Naples Women’s Center and Bridging the Gap facilities, and lower product revenue from MedOfficeDirect. This was partially offset by revenue increases at our Naples Center for Functional Medicine facility and revenue from the newly-acquired Aesthetics Enhancements Unlimited practice.
Net losses increased from ($1.72) million in the fourth quarter of 2021 to ($4.27) million in the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily due to the MedOfficeDirect impairment charge.
Dr. Michael Dent, HealthLynked’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Despite the financial challenges of the past year, we remain committed to providing top-quality care management services and healthcare technologies to our members. With our innovative technology solutions and focus on quality care, we are well-positioned to achieve our goals and drive long-term value for our shareholders.”
George O’Leary, HealthLynked’s Chief Financial Officer, added, “The sale of ACO Health Partners and the partnership with Palm Beach ACO is one of our most significant initiatives of 2023 to date, with a considerable reduction in our cash burn and milestones during 2023 and 2024 that should provide not only additional significant cash on the balance sheet but also potential substantial value in the event of the buyer’s IPO transaction. All of these factors would strengthen our balance sheet and offset the non-cash MOD impairment recorded this quarter.”
