NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER OF THE SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN

Patient Home Monitoring (PHM) (TSX VENTURE:PHM), a healthcare service company with operations in the US, announced today that it has posted its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 and the Company continues to execute on the strategic plan of integrating and optimizing the business units for profitability growth.

Highlights:

  • Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2016 were approximately $32,283,000. Revenues increased approximately 2% before the effects of translation to Canadian dollars, as compared to quarter ended March 31, 2016. The increase in sales before currency adjustments is in-line with previous guidance, and included no revenues from the Logimedix subsidiary during the current quarter. After accounting for the Logimedix revenues in the last quarter, revenues were up approximately 5%. Additionally, the Company has continued to scale back on product lines that have low profit margins and continues to focus on organically growing the higher margin business. Despite the July 1, 2016 reduction in reimbursement for certain products and services in addition to the continuation of reduction of certain low margin revenue streams, the revenues for the fourth quarter are expected to be slightly up from the previous quarter. While the Company continues to resolve bad debt, its rigorous review of all outstanding receivables has converted many old receivables into cash.
  • As of the end of the quarter, the company had a cash balance of $7,827,000, accounts receivable balance of $33,645,000 and current liabilities of $20,861,000. The Company settled approximately $13 million of purchase price payable (current liability at March 31, 2016) through the issuance of shares and other post-closing working capital adjustments, thereby significantly increasing the working capital balance and aligning current management with shareholders through significant equity ownership. The total liabilities of the Company are down approximately 32% since March 31, 2016
  • The Company has continued its reorganization and integration efforts by creating DME and Disease Management divisions. In conjunction with the reorganization, there have been significant realignment and overhead reductions that will reduce annual overhead by approximately 10% with a goal of continuing to bring down cost structure. The Company has significantly reduced operations in certain subsidiaries in order to maximize profitability and to assure that all business units become individually profitable.

Full results have been posted on SEDAR.

"I am pleased to share with investors that we continue to make strides in our integration and optimization of our subsidiaries and have our eyes set on profitability growth," said Casey Hoyt, CEO of PHM. "The recent decline in our stock price is not indicative of the work being done by our team, but does reflect the challenges that come with integrating companies in an ever-changing and evolving healthcare market. We remain committed to our mission of treating more patients in the home and optimistic that our daily focus on the highest margin businesses and attention to costs will ultimately drive our financial results into positive territory. Our number one goal right now is to turn around and begin growing our liquidity position through all of our strategic initiatives."

PHM also announced that it will hold its Quarterly conference call to review the quarter and update the market on plans for 2016 and beyond at 4:30 p.m. EST on August 24, 2016.
