RESULTS
November 29, 2024 – Toronto, Ontario – Greenbrook TMS Inc. (OTCQB: GBNHF) (“Greenbrook” or the “Company”) today announced its third quarter 2024 (“Q3 2024”) operational and financial results. All values in this news release are in United States dollars, unless otherwise stated.
THIRD QUARTER 2024 OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
| • | Quarterly service revenue increased by 9% to $18.9 million, up $1.5 million as compared to the third quarter of 2023 (“Q3 2023”) and increased by 3% to $56.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 (“YTD 2024”), up $1.6 million as compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 (“YTD 2023”), despite the closure of mental health service centers (“Treatment Centers”) in connection with the Company’s previously-announced comprehensive restructuring plan during YTD 2023 (the “Restructuring Plan”) and the previously-announced transfer of 12 Treatment Centers in the State of New Jersey to Mr. Benjamin Klein as a result of the settlement agreement and release in Q3 2024. |
| • | The Company recognized other revenue in Q3 2024 by completing certain key milestones related to the research collaboration agreement with Compass Pathways plc, to explore delivery models for investigational COMP360 psilocybin treatment. Other revenue was $0.2 million in Q3 2024 and $1.5 million in YTD 2024, as compared to nil in Q3 2023 and YTD 2023. |
| • | Regional operating loss increased by 242% in Q3 2024 to $0.5 million, up $0.4 million as compared to Q3 2023, and increased by 303% to $1.8 million in YTD 2024, up $1.3 million as compared to YTD 2023, due to an increase in direct center and regional costs. |
| • | Loss for the period and comprehensive loss decreased by 16% in Q3 2024 to $11.0 million, down $2.1 million as compared to Q3 2023, and decreased by 6% in YTD 2024 to $33.3 million, down $2.0 million as compared to YTD 2023. |
| • | The Company continued its roll-out of diversified treatment offerings to patients in Q3 2024. The Company has expanded its Spravato® offering to 82 Treatment Centers to date, its medication management offering to 11 Treatment Centers to date and its talk therapy program to Treatment Centers within Florida and Missouri. |
| • | On August 12, 2024, the Company announced that it entered into a definitive arrangement agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) with Neuronetics, Inc. (“Neuronetics”), in which Neuronetics will acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Greenbrook (the “Common Shares”) in an all-stock transaction (the “Neuronetics Transaction”). On November 8, 2024, the Neuronetics Transaction was approved by the shareholders of the Company and the stockholders of Neuronetics, respectively. On November 15, 2024, the Company obtained a final order from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) approving the previously announced plan of arrangement in accordance with the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). The Neuronetics Transaction is expected to close in early December 2024, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. |
| • | On November 15, 2024, the Company began a supplemental restructuring plan (the “Supplemental Restructuring Plan”) in an effort to continue to accelerate its path to achieve sustainable profitability and long-term growth. As part of this initiative, the Company plans to decrease its operating footprint by closing 23 Treatment Centers by the end of 2024, allowing management to focus on its remaining 95 Treatment Centers. The Supplemental Restructuring Plan aims to leverage the scale and capabilities of the combined business with Neuronetics to further drive operational efficiencies while streamlining its focus to its most profitable Treatment Centers across the United States. |
Bill Leonard, President and Chief Executive Officer of Greenbrook, commented:
“With the imminent closing of the Neuronetics Transaction, we are excited to create a vertically-integrated organization capable of providing access to mental health treatment with significant scale in the United States. We believe the Neuronetics Transaction, coupled with our previously-announced Supplemental Restructuring Plan, will assist in accelerating our path to profitability. Looking to the future, we believe that mental health remains a key focus in the United States and the unmet demand for treatment remains at an all-time high. We continue to offer innovative solutions for this unmet need and our leadership position and nationwide footprint continues to serve as a valuable platform to bring the needed help to patients struggling with depression.”
