"We're very pleased to report another record quarter of patient visits and interactions mainly delivered by our more than 2,300 healthcare provider partners systemwide," said Hamed Shahbazi, Chairman and CEO of WELL. "WELL's business model is simple and effective because it is laser focused on supporting and tech-enabling the healthcare providers that form the bedrock of our healthcare ecosystem.  Our solutions help care providers with all aspects of their business including front and back-office solutions so that they can focus on patient care and not administrative burdens and deliver improved patient outcomes.  Healthcare workers continue to face significant challenges as we transition to a post-pandemic world, and WELL is applying all its talents and resources to support them.  WELL's business not only continues to reflect the strength and resilience associated with the healthcare industry, but we've also demonstrated that when care providers are supported well, their practices flourish. Our industry leading organic growth is showing our model of 'caring for the car providers' is working."

Eva Fong, CFO of WELL, commented, "Our strong Q3 patient visits and interactions were driven by healthy growth in our US-based virtual services businesses, Circle Medical and Wisp, which now exceed an annual revenue run-rate of US$100M on a combined basis, reflecting 124% YoY organic growth and are operating profitably on an Adjusted EBITDA³ basis.  In addition, Q3 patient visits and interaction metrics were positively impacted by the onboarding of new practitioners onto our platform and the closing of the Inliv acquisition.  We look forward to reporting Q3 results."

3. Non-GAAP financial measure.  Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as alternatives to net income/loss determined in accordance with IFRS.  EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.  The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA (i) less net rent expense on premise leases considered to be finance leases under IFRS and (ii) before transaction, restructuring, and integration costs, time-based earn-out expense, change in fair value of investments, share of loss of associates, foreign exchange gain/loss, and stock-based compensation expense, and (iii) Revenue precluded from recognition under IFRS 15 that relates to certain patient services revenue that the Company believes should be recognized as revenue based on its contractual relationships.  The Company considers Adjusted EBITDA a financial metric that measures cash that the Company can use to fund working capital requirements, service future interest and principal debt repayments and fund future growth initiatives.
