  • Treatment volumes decreased by 4% to 52,126 as compared to Q4 2020 due to typical seasonal factors, amplified by harsh winter weather in parts of the United States. Despite these factors, Greenbrook managed year-over-year growth of 9% as compared to Q1
  • Consultations performed, an important performance indicator for the Company, increased by 52% as compared to Q1 2020, which points to encouraging prospects for the remainder of 2021.
  • Quarterly revenue increased by 14% to $11.3 million as compared to Q4 2020 and decreased by 1% compared to Q1 2020. This is despite a series of significant weather events, which led to temporary closures of many of the Company’s TMS centers (“TMS Centers”).
  • Q1 2021 resulted in an entity-wide regional operating loss of $1.5 million as compared to an entity-wide regional operating loss of $2.1 million in Q4 2020 and entity-wide regional operating income of $0.7 million in Q1 2020.
  • Implemented the Spravato® (esketamine nasal spray) pilot program at select TMS Centers to treat adults with treatment-resistant depression and depressive symptoms in adults with Major Depressive Disorder (“MDD”) with suicidal thoughts or Based on the promising findings from the pilot program, the Company expects to expand its offering of Spravato® to an additional 5-6 TMS Centers, for a total of 10-12 TMS Centers offering Spravato®.
  • Added three newly active TMS Centers during Q1 2021, with an additional nine TMS Centers in development, bringing the total Company network to 128 TMS Centers as at March 31, 2021, representing an increase of 3% as compared to Q1

 

Bill Leonard, President and Chief Executive Officer of Greenbrook commented:

 

“We are very pleased with our start to 2021, with a return in consolidated revenue to pre-COVID-19 levels in Q1 2021. We experienced record monthly highs in new patient starts and treatment volumes in March 2021 despite temporary closures of some of our TMS Centers due to significant weather events in the first half of the quarter, and the continuing challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. We believe the improved operational performance in March 2021 positions us well for a strong second quarter. We have also successfully rolled-out the Spravato® Pilot Program, building on our long-term business plan of utilizing our TMS Centers as platforms for the delivery of innovative treatments to patients suffering from MDD and other mental health disorders, and we look forward to making this treatment option available at additional centers.”

Forward-looking information is necessarily based on a number of opinions, assumptions and estimates that, while considered reasonable by the Company as of the date of this press release, are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information, including but not limited to the factors described in greater detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s current annual information form and in the Company’s other materials filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, available at www.sedar.com and www.sec.gov, respectively.

Cautionary Note Regarding Non-IFRS Measures

 

This press release makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures including certain metrics specific to the industry in which we operate. These measures are not recognized measures under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, these measures are not intended to represent, and should not be considered as alternatives to, loss attributable to the common shareholders of Greenbrook or other performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS as measures of operating performance or operating cash flows or as a measure of liquidity. In addition to our results determined in accordance with IFRS, we use non-IFRS measures including, “EBITDA” and “Adjusted EBITDA”. These non-IFRS measures and industry metrics are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. See the Company’s MD&A for a further discussion of these non- IFRS financial measures. Additionally, see the Company’s MD&A, along with the Company’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, and September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, for a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to loss attributable to the common shareholders of Greenbrook for each of the periods shown in the table below.
