Salona Global Medical Device Corporation (“
Salona
Global”, “
SGMD” or the
“
Company”) (TSXV:SGMD) today announced it closed
its acquisition of Arrowhead Medical, LLC
(
“Arrowhead”), a recovery science medical device
sales and distribution business expected to add $4.0 million in
annual revenue to the Company, with an estimated 32% in gross
profit. The Company also reported financial highlights for the
first quarter of 2023, ending March 31, 2023, and provided details
for its earnings call scheduled for 5pm EST today.
Acquisition of Arrowhead and Biodex
Integration Update
The Company closed its acquisition of Arrowhead,
a recovery science medical device sales and distribution business,
on May 15, 2023. This addition to Salona Global is projected to add
$4.0 million in revenue annually with an estimated 32% in gross
profit. Based on its unaudited financial results, Arrowhead’s sales
in calendar year 2022 were approximately $3.5 million, with gross
profit of approximately 32%. The terms of this transaction are
described in more detail below. Since the Company’s acquisition of
its Mio-Guard business in March 2022, Mio-Guard has generated
strong revenues and has grown its sales by more than 25% in
calendar year 2022 compared to calendar year 2021.The Company
intends to integrate Arrowhead with the Mio-Guard business unit in
an effort to leverage the portions of the businesses that are
differentiating and expand the portions that are complimentary. We
expect to utilize customer lists for all products in the Salona
Global family of companies, including Biodex Medical Systems, Inc.
(“Biodex”), and leverage pricing from common
suppliers.
The Company closed its acquisition of Biodex,
consisting of its physical medicine (rehabilitation) business, on
April 3, 2023. The integration plan of Biodex is on track and
management has initiated a cross-selling strategy to offer Biodex
products to the Mio-Guard database of customers and vice versa. The
operational integration of the Biodex business remains on track as
management focuses on back-office functions and begins to
vertically integrate Salona Global manufacturing capabilities.

(defined below) is approximately $25 million.
“This quarter’s results reflect an improvement
in profitability and gross margin from the previous quarters,” said
Les Cross, Chairman. “We saw a slight increase in sequential
revenues for the quarter as our focus was on closing the Biodex
acquisition and preparing for the cross-selling initiatives between
Biodex and Mio-Guard. In the current quarter ending June 30, 2023,
we expect to see an increase in revenues as we add the Biodex
products to our Salona family of products. I want to commend the
team on a job well done with this transformative acquisition.”
“We are pleased to welcome the staff and
customers of both Biodex and Arrowhead to the Salona Global
family,” said Luke Faulstick, CEO. “We have ambitious plans to grow
the Arrowhead Medical business in a similar fashion to how we have
grown our Mio-Guard business. We plan to leverage the well-known
global Biodex brand in the rehabilitation market and take advantage
of the developed Biodex international and domestic sales and
distribution channels to sell new Salona Global products in late
stages of development, and to accelerate the sales of our broad
existing product portfolio through a focus on cross-selling and
improved customer service and sales approach. We look forward to
finalizing our integration of these businesses and moving on to
further acquisitions. We also continue to work to replace our
current short-term debt with the goal of extending the maturity
dates for such debt.”

Non-GAAP Measures
This press release refers to “order book
backlog” and “Adjusted EBITDA” which are non-GAAP and non-IFRS
financial measures that do not have standardized meanings
prescribed by GAAP or IFRS. The Company’s presentation of these
financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures
assist the Company’s management in comparing its operating
performance over time because certain items may obscure underlying
business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance
difficult, as they are of a nature and/or size that occur with
inconsistent frequency or relate to discrete acquisition plans that
are fundamentally different from the ongoing operating plans of the
Company. The Company’s management also believes that presenting
these measures allows investors to view the Company’s performance
using the same measures that the Company uses in evaluating its
financial and business performance and trends.
“Order book backlog” as used in this press
release is calculated as committed customer orders to deliver
products and services at a future date.
“Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as net loss
excluding interest expense, provision for income taxes,
depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of
right-of-use asset, amortization of intangible asset, foreign
exchange (loss) gain, other income, provision for impairment,
change in fair value of contingent consideration, transaction
costs, and stock-based compensation.
The following table provides reconciliation
between net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA:
