Cosmos Health Reports Q2 2023 Financial Results; Adjusted Net Income Increases by 3550% to Surpass $3 Million for H1 2023 vs $(0.09) Million H1 2022; Book Value per Share Exceeds $4.04

CHICAGO, IL / ACCESSWIRE / August 15, 2023 / Cosmos Health Inc. ("Cosmos Health" or "the Company") (NASDAQ:COSM), a diversified, vertically integrated global healthcare group engaged in innovative R&D, owner of proprietary nutraceutical brands, manufacturer and distributor of healthcare products, and operator of a telehealth platform, today reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2023.

Q2 and H1 2023 Financial Highlights

  • Revenues amounted to $12.36 million in Q2 2023 and $24.71 million in H1 2023, a slight decline of 6.4% and 5.96%, respectively, from $13.21 million and $26.28 million in the corresponding periods in 2022, in part due to unfavorable USD to EUR and GBP exchange rate movements.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $0.23 million in Q2 2023 and $3.01 million in H1 2023, an increase of 182% from $1.07 million in H1 2022.
  • Adjusted Net Income of $0.16 million in Q2 2023, a 158% increase compared to a loss of $0.27 million in Q2 2022, and $3.01 million in H1 2023, a 3550% increase compared to a loss of $0.09 million in H1 2022.
  • Adjusted Net Income per share, both basic and diluted, of $0.01 in Q2 2023, compared to a loss of $0.35 in Q2 2022, and $0.28 in H1 2023 versus $0 in H1 2022.
  • Property and equipment, net, increased by 488% to $10.7 million, up from $1.82 million in Q4 2022.
  • Goodwill and intangible assets, net, increased by 435% from $0.71 million in Q4 2022 to $3.78 million in Q2 2023. The increase was largely attributable to the acquisition of licenses for established pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products.
  • Notes payable (current portion) decreased by 59% to $0.89 million in Q2 2023 from $2.16 million in Q4 2022, and notes payable (long-term portion) decreased by 12% to $2.52 million in Q2 2023 from $2.86 million in Q4 2022, while lines of credit decreased by 18% to $4.73 million in Q2 2023 from $5.76 million in Q4 2022.
  • Total stockholders' equity increased by 12.88% to $44.35 million in Q2 2023, up from $39.28 million in Q4 2022. Relative to the Company's total assets, which increased to $69.2 million, this equates to a Stockholders Equity to assets ratio in excess of 60%, indicating the Company's prudent approach to financing.

During the second quarter of 2023, the Company achieved the following milestones:

  • Acquired Cana Laboratories S.A. ("Cana"), a Greek pharmaceutical company established in 1928, recording a material gain on bargain purchase. Cana is licensed under European Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and certified by the European Medicines Agency for the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, food supplements, cosmetics, biocides, and medical devices.
  • Acquired the sales and distribution network owned by I.Bikas General Partnership ("Bikas"), an established pharmaceutical company operating in Greece since 1986. The network encompasses 50 well-established pharmacies and is expected to increase annual revenue by over $10 million.
  • Acquired the property housing the operations of wholly-owned subsidiary CosmoFarm Pharmaceuticals S.A. ("CosmoFarm"), located in the western part of Athens, Greece. The CosmoFarm property comprises an entire 3-story building, approximately 29,063 square feet, and utilizes state-of-the-art technologies to automate procurement, inventory management, and order execution.
  • Completed the second phase in the development of the CCX0722 product and its extensions, an innovative solution for obesity and weight management, with clinical trials scheduled to commence in Q4 2023. This milestone represents a significant step forward in bringing this transformative product to market.
  • Made significant progress in the expansion of nutraceutical brands, Sky Premium Life and Mediterranation, by introducing new product lines such as Terra Creta and Chios Island, ramping up production, boosting exports, broadening partnerships, and securing purchase orders from a leading international health food retail chain.

Greg Siokas, Chief Executive Officer of Cosmos Health, stated: "We delivered solid financial results in Q2 2023. Adjusted EBITDA was once again positive, highlighting the stability of our business model, and we also generated positive Adjusted Net Income, in contrast to a loss during the corresponding period last year. Looking at the broader picture, the first half of 2023 has been particularly strong. Both Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income exceeded the $3 million mark, with Adjusted EBITDA increasing by over 180% and Adjusted Net Income increasing by 3550%, marking a major turnaround from the loss in the corresponding period last year.

I am also pleased to report a strengthening in our financial position and building of equity. Total assets have increased, with tangible assets growing by more than 488% and goodwill and intangible assets expanding by 435%. Meanwhile, total liabilities have decreased, resulting in total stockholders' equity of $44.35 million, and a stockholder equity to asset ratio in excess of 60%, indicating our prudent approach to financing. Importantly, our book value per share exceeds $4.04.

This past quarter, we not only delivered solid financial results, but also closed transformative acquisitions like Cana and advanced in game-changing R&D. All of this was achieved while still maintaining a prudent, essentially debt-free balance sheet. As we build on this solid foundation, our eyes are fixed on the future. Our ambitious strategy focuses on key areas such as creating synergies, improving operational efficiency, pursuing vertical integration, investing in innovative R&D, expanding our brands, and strategically growing our distribution network and facilities on a global scale. We look forward to providing our investors with some exciting updates that are in the works."

(*) See "Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures" and "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures" sections herein for an explanation and reconciliations of non-GAAP measures used throughout this release.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures

We collect and analyze operating and financial data to evaluate the health of our business and assess our performance. In addition to Revenue, Income (Loss) from Operations and Net Income (Loss) under GAAP, we use: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Net Income (Loss). We have included these non-GAAP financial measures because they are key measures used by our management to evaluate our operating performance. Accordingly, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management team and Board of Directors. Our calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP measures, if any, reported by our peer companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as substitutes for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define Adjusted EBITDA as Income (Loss) before Income Taxes, excluding (i) depreciation and amortization expense, (ii) interest expense, (iii) non-cash interest expense, (iv) stock-based compensation expense, (v) non-recurring and extraordinary items (vi) other income (expense), net, (vii) gain (loss) on equity investments, net, (viii) gain on extinguishment of debt, (ix) change in fair value of derivative liability (x) foreign currency transaction, net, and (xi) prior years bad debt allowances.

We have included Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management team to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management team and Board of Directors. In addition, it provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business, as it removes the effect of certain non-cash expenses and non-recurring and extraordinary Items.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as a financial measure, should be considered as supplemental in nature, and is not meant as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss)

We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as Adjusted EBITDA (see above) adding provision for income taxes and deducting interest expense.

Adjusted Net Income has limitations as a financial measure, should be considered as supplemental in nature, and is not meant as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
