GREENBROOK TMS REPORTS FISCAL 2020 OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL RESULTS

March 30, 2021 – Toronto, Ontario – Greenbrook TMS Inc. (TSX: GTMS, NASDAQ: GBNH) (“Greenbrook” or the “Company”), today announced its fourth quarter 2020 (“Q4 2020”) and year-end 2020 (“Fiscal 2020”) operational and financial results. All values in this news release are in United States dollars, unless otherwise stated.

 

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

 

“We are very pleased with the growth of our business even as we battle the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically our ability to continue to treat patients suffering from treatment-resistant depression at unprecedented levels. We managed to deliver strong year-over-year revenue growth of 21%, despite having to take a significant provision against revenue. While procedure volumes and new patient starts continue to grow at a record pace, our strong operational performance is not fully reflected in our revenues primarily as a result of provisions relating to changes in our credentialling process due to our move to credentialling on a state-wide credentialling basis. Delays in obtaining the necessary credentialling have resulted in slower claims processing which will require several months to clear, but we believe this delay to be short-term and will ultimately result in significant long-term gains with our enhanced credentialling process.”

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information

 

Certain information in this press release, including with respect to the Company’s future financial or operating performance, constitute forward-looking information. In some cases, but not necessarily in all cases, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “plans”, “targets”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “an opportunity exists”, “is positioned”, “estimates”, “intends”, “assumes”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate” or “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might”, “will” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved”. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances contain forward-looking information. Statements containing forward-looking information are not historical facts but instead represent management’s expectations, estimates and projections regarding future events.

 

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 quarters ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, 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.
