revenue reaching USD161 million—an impressive 23% increase

impact of our strategic initiatives such as restructuring royalty
fees and expanding our clinic network. Additionally, with a robust
balance sheet supported by USD137 million in cash, we are committed
to sustainable growth supported by a clear capital policy. We
deeply value our shareholders and our focus on shareholder value
will continue through consistent returns with robust business
growth, strategic reinvestments, and a strong capital foundation,
ensuring that all shareholders, including our minority investors,
benefit from our growth and success.”
Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were
$160 million, representing an increase of 23% from $131 million in
the same period of 2023. Total revenues for the three months ended
September 30, 2024 were $53 million, representing an increase of
12% from $47 million in the same quarter of 2023. These increases
were mainly because the Company started charging patent and
trademark fees to our franchisee clinics, and due to the expansion
of numbers of our franchisee clinics Total operating expenses for
the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $56 million,
representing an increase of 20% from $47 million in the same period
of 2023. Total operating expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 2024 were $29 million, representing an increase of
118% from $13 million in the same quarter of 2023. The increases in
the total operating expenses were primarily due to listing-related
consulting and professional fees, stock-based compensation, and
higher office expenses.
EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $68.4
million, representing an increase of 22% from $56.3 million in the
same period of 2023, mainly due to revenue growth but partially
offset by listing-related consulting and professional fees,
stock-based compensations. EBITDA for the three months ended
September 30, 2024 was $14.8 million, representing a decrease of
36% from $23.3 million in the same quarter of 2023, primarily due
to listing-related consulting and professional fees, stock-based
compensation, and higher office expenses.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was
$40.1 million, compared to $24.3 million in the same period of
2023. The increase was attributed mainly to total revenue growth
but partially offset by increase of total operating expenses. Net
income for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $2.8
million, compared to $8.1 million for the same quarter in 2023. The
decrease was attributable mainly to higher operating expenses.
Cash Flow and Liquidity Highlights
As of September 30, 2024, SBC Medical maintained a strong
liquidity position, with cash and cash equivalents totaling $137.4
million, up from $103.0 million as of December 31, 2023. This
increase reflects robust cash generation from operating activities,
prudent investment management, and disciplined capital allocation
strategies.
Operating Cash Flow
Net cash provided by operating activities was $27 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of 23% from
$22 million for the same period in 2023. This growth was driven
primarily by a $15 million rise in net income, bolstered by
stock-based compensation expenses of $12.8 million related to the
Company’s recent public listing, and an improvement in collection
of accounts receivable. These positive factors were partially
offset by changes in accounts payable and tax liabilities, which
reflect the Company’s focus on efficiently managing working capital
in a growing operational environment.
Investing Cash Flow
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $5 million during
the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a decline from $8 million
for the same period in 2023. Key contributor to this decrease
included payments made on behalf of a related party of $5.2
million. The Company continues to strategically deploy capital
towards high-impact assets that align with its long-term growth
objectives.
Financing Cash Flow
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $11 million
during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase from
$6 million for the same period in 2023. Key contributor to this
increase included proceeds from reverse recapitalization, net of
transaction costs $11.7 million. The change reflects the Company’s
emphasis on self-sustained growth through operating cash flows
rather than external financing, with no significant new debt
undertaken during the period.
Foreign Currency Impact
SBC Medical’s cash flows were impacted by a $0.5 million
currency translation adjustment due to the depreciation of the
Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar. The Company continues to
monitor foreign currency exposure and employ strategies to mitigate
risks associated with currency fluctuations.
With a robust cash reserve and sound operational cash flows, SBC
Medical is confident in its ability to meet near-term liquidity
requirements and to fund future growth initiatives. Management
believes that the current cash position, alongside planned
operational cash flow, will be sufficient to support the company’s
business operations and strategic investments for the next 12
months.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses non-GAAP measures, such as EBITDA, in
evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational
decision-making purposes. The Company believes that the non-GAAP
financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business.
The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide
useful information about the Company’s results of operations,
enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance
and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect
to key metrics used by the Company’s management in its financial
and operational decision-making.
The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP
and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP
financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when
assessing the Company’s operating performance, cash flows or
liquidity, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a
substitute for net loss, cash flows provided by operating
activities or other consolidated statements of operations and cash
flows data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The Company mitigates these limitations by reconciling the
non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP
performance measures, all of which should be considered when
evaluating the Company’s performance.
For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please
see the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and
Non-GAAP Results.”
