Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted. The foregoing is a

Full Year 2023 Financial

"We see three distinct and exciting strategic areas of
opportunity for growth for Newtopia including: (1) expanding
our key innovation partnerships, such as Heartland Whole Health
Institute; (2) combining Newtopia's proven habit change platform
with GLP-1 drugs for obesity and type 2 diabetes; and
(3) partnering with health AI and clinical discovery
innovators to improve our collective ability to deliver best in
breed outcomes that prevent, reverse and slow chronic disease, said
Jeff Ruby, Founder and CEO of
Newtopia.
"Throughout 2023 and in early 2024, we've made great strides in
reducing our cost to serve participants while at the same time
increasing our operational efficiencies – all while
maintaining and improving our industry leading engagement and whole
health outcomes. In the first quarter of 2024, we delivered our
best ever outcomes for the first two cohorts of our innovative
health coaching project with the Heartland Whole Health Institute
in Northwest Arkansas," said
Jeff Ruby, Founder and CEO
of Newtopia.
"While we made great progress, revenue in Q4 2023 and Q1 2024
was impacted by a change with a long-standing incentive program at
one of our largest clients. Fortunately, our relationship with the
client remains incredibly strong, and commencing in Q2, we are
working with them on strengthening new registrations through market
expansion and the re-introduction of Newtopia to existing
markets," Ruby concluded.
Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial
Results
Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2023, was $2.3 million, a decrease of 25% compared to
$3.1 million in the prior-year
period. This decline was driven by a change in a multi-year
contract renewal. Actions are underway with this client to recoup
lost volume associated with this change. Enrollment fee revenue, or
revenue from Welcome Kit sales, totaled 8% of revenue for the
quarter.
Gross profit for the fourth quarter 2023 totaled $1.5 million, as compared to $2.1 million in the prior-year period. Gross
profit is comprised of Newtopia's revenue less direct expenses,
which include the cost of Welcome Kits sold to new participants as
well as labor costs associated with hiring and training of the
Company's coaching team of Inspirators and amortization of
intangibles. As a percentage of revenue, core gross profit totaled
63% compared to 65% in the prior-year period.
Adjusted operating expenses2 for the three months
ended December 31, 2023, totaled
$1.6 million, compared to
$2.8 million in the prior-year
period. For the fourth quarter, the Company was roughly EBITDA
neutral with an adjusted operating loss3 of $66,000, compared with an adjusted operating loss
of $714,000 in the prior-year
period.
The Company ended the fourth quarter 2023 with approximately
$0.4 million in cash, with additional
access to their revolving line of credit with a Canadian Schedule 1
bank. Of note, the Company finalized the refinancing of
$2.5 million debt in October 2023.
Full Year 2023 Financial
Results
Revenue for the full year ended December
31, 2023, was $9.8 million, a
decrease of 12% compared to $11.2
million in the prior year. Engagements totaled 125,000 for
the full year, a decrease of 16% year-over-year. Enrollment fee
revenue, or revenue from Welcome Kit sales, totaled 12% of revenue
for the year.
Gross profit for the year on an apples-to-apples basis totaled
$6.1 million, consistent with 2022.
As a percentage of revenue, gross profit totaled 62%, up from the
prior year of 53%.
Adjusted operating expenses2 for the year totaled
$7.3 million, as compared to
$11.8 million in the prior year. For
the full year ended December 31,
2023, the Company had an adjusted operating loss3
of $1.2 million, compared with a loss
of $5.7 million in 2022.
First Quarter 2024 Financial
Results
Revenue for the three months ended March
31, 2024 was $1.8 million, a
decrease of 31% compared to $2.6
million in the prior-year period. This decline was driven by
the aforementioned change made by a client with a long-standing
incentive program. Enrollment fee revenue, or revenue from Welcome
Kit sales, totaled 17% of revenue for the quarter.
Gross profit for the first quarter 2024 totaled $0.9 million, as compared to $1.6 million in the prior-year period. Gross
profit is comprised of Newtopia's revenue less direct expenses,
which include the cost of Welcome Kits sold to new participants as
well as labor costs associated with hiring and training of the
Company's coaching team of Inspirators. As a percentage of revenue,
gross profit totaled 50%, compared to 60% in the prior-year
period.
Adjusted operating expenses2 for the three months
ended March 31, 2024, totaled
$1.6 million, compared to
$2.3 million in the prior-year
period. For the first quarter, the Company posted an adjusted
operating loss3 of $667,000, compared with an adjusted operating
loss of $727,000 in the
prior-year period.
The Company ended the first quarter 2024 with $0.33 million in cash, with additional access to
their revolving line of credit with a Canadian Schedule 1 bank. Of
note, the Company finalized a bridge equity round of $0.7 million in Feb
2024.
2024 Outlook
Despite a challenging macro environment, the Company remains
bullish regarding the outlook of the healthcare industry in 2024.
Newtopia will continue to execute on its pipeline to return to
EBITDA positive.

Preliminary Financial Metrics
This news release contains certain pre-released financial
metrics. The financial metrics contained in this news release are
preliminary and represent the most current information available to
the Company's management, as financial closing procedures for the
fourth quarter and year ended December 31,
2023 are not yet complete. The Company's actual audited
financial statements for such period may result in material changes
to the financial metrics summarized in this news release (including
by any one financial metric, or all of the financial metrics, being
below or above the figures indicated) as a result of the completion
of normal quarter and year end accounting procedures and
adjustments, and also what one might expect to be in the final

Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").
Management uses certain non-GAAP measures, which are defined in the
appropriate sections of this press release, to better assess the
Company's underlying performance. These measures are reviewed
regularly by management and the Company's Board of Directors in
assessing the Company's performance and in making decisions about
ongoing operations. In addition, we use certain non-GAAP measures
to determine the components of management compensation. We believe
that these measures are also used by investors as an indicator of
the Company's operating performance. Readers are cautioned that
these terms are not recognized GAAP measures and do not have a
standardized GAAP meaning under IFRS and should not be construed as
alternatives to IFRS terms, such as net income.
Neither TSXV nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that

Core gross profit is
defined as revenue, which is comprised of onboarding welcome
revenue, ongoing engagement fees and success fees, less cost of
sales, which is comprised of Welcome Kit costs, compensation
expense for Inspirators and care specialists and genetic testing
costs. Gross margin percentage is calculated by dividing gross
profit by total revenue for the defined period. The financial
statements formally include intangible asset amortization in the
gross profit calculation, although core gross profit is considered
by management to be an integral measure of financial performance
and represents the amount of revenues retained by the Company after
incurring direct cash costs. However, gross profit is not a
recognized measure of profitability under IFRS.

Adjusted operating
expenses consist of all cash-based technology, sales and marketing
and administrative expenses. Adjusted operating expense is not a
measure of financial performance under IFRS and should not be
considered a substitute for total operating expenses, which we
believe to be the most directly comparable IFRS measure.
|
3
|
Adjusted operating loss
consists of adjusted gross profit less adjusted operating expenses.
Adjusted gross profit and operating loss is not a measure of
financial performance under IFRS and should not be considered
a substitute for loss from operations which we believe to be the
most directly comparable IFRS measure.
