ABOUT OUR BUSINESS

Quipt business objective

The growth in the number of elderly patients in the US healthcare market is creating pressure to provide more efficient delivery systems. Healthcare providers, such as hospitals, physicians, and pharmacies, are seeking partners that can offer a range of products and services that improve outcomes, reduce hospital readmissions, and help control costs. Quipt fills this need by delivering a growing number of specialized products and services to achieve these goals. Quipt seeks to provide an ever-expanding line of products and services over larger geographic regions within the United States using several growth strategies. With over 100 offices, Quipt employs more than 1,100 personnel in the United States.

Future outlook

Quipt expects to generate net income and positive Adjusted EBITDA. Our top priority continues to be the generation of operational net profit, positive cash flow, and growth in Adjusted EBITDA in fiscal year 2024 and beyond. As we continue to expand in our existing markets, we plan to leverage our business platforms to enter new markets. As we continue to grow and achieve scale, the increasing cash generated from operations will be used to market our products and services and to gain market share. Our continued business integration and rationalization, and our acquisitions, have given us a focus and path towards profitability at each business unit.

Going forward, we seek to find ways to continue to grow our customer base and penetrate these markets, while continuing to streamline our operational platform and generate positive cash flow and operational profits. We will continue to improve on operational efficiencies and call center management as they are key execution points to maintaining our healthy gross margin while growing revenues by cross selling services to existing and acquired patients.

OPERATING RESULTS

Accounting policies and estimates

The consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2022 are prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the governing body of the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the period of consolidated financial statements.

Non-IFRS measures

Throughout this MD&A, references are made to several measures which are believed to be meaningful in the assessment of the Company's performance. These metrics are non-standard measures under IFRS and may not be identical to similar measures reported by other companies. Readers are cautioned that the disclosure of these items is meant to add to, and not replace, the discussion of financial results as determined in accordance with IFRS. The primary purpose of these non-IFRS measures is to provide supplemental information that may prove useful to investors who wish to consider the impact of certain non-cash or uncontrollable items on the Company's operating performance. Management uses both IFRS and non- IFRS measures when planning, monitoring, and evaluating the Company's performance.

Adjusted EBITDA

This MD&A refers to "Adjusted EBITDA," which is a non-IFRS financial measure that does not have standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. The Company's presentation of this financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. This financial measure is intended to provide additional information to investors concerning the Company's performance.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA (net income (loss), and adding back interest expense, net, depreciation and amortization, and provision (benefit) for income taxes) and adding back stock-based compensation, acquisition-related costs, gain or loss on foreign currency transactions, loss on extinguishment of debt, other income from government grant, and change in fair value of debentures. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-IFRS measures that the Company uses as an indicator of financial health and exclude several items which may be useful in the consideration of the financial condition of the Company.

Set forth below are descriptions of the material financial items that have been excluded from net income or loss to calculate Adjusted EBITDA and the material limitations associated with using these non-IFRS financial measures as compared to net income or loss.

  • Depreciation and amortization expense may be useful for investors to consider because they generally represent the wear and tear on our property and equipment used in our operations and amortization of intangibles valued in acquisitions. However, we do not believe these charges necessarily reflect the current and ongoing cash charges related to our operating costs.
  • The amount of interest expense we incur or interest income we generate may be useful for investors to consider and may result in current cash inflows or outflows. However, we do not consider the amount of net interest expense to be a representative component of the day-to-day operating performance of our business.
  • Income tax expense may be useful for investors to consider because it generally represents the taxes which may be payable for the period and may reduce the amount of funds otherwise available for use. However, we do not consider the amount of income tax expense to be a representative component of the day-to-day operating performance of our business.
  • Stock-basedcompensation may be useful for investors to consider because it is an estimate of the non-cash component of compensation received by the Company's directors, officers, employees, and consultants. However, stock-based compensation is being excluded from the Company's operating expenses because the decisions which gave rise to these expenses were not made to increase revenue in a particular period but were made for the Company's long-term benefit over multiple periods. While strategic decisions, such as those to issue stock-based awards, are made to further the Company's long-term strategic objectives and impact the Company's earnings under IFRS, these items affect multiple periods and management is not able to change or affect these items within any period.
  • Acquisition-relatedcosts may be useful for the investors to consider because they are professional fees directly related to completing the various acquisitions. While the costs are expected to be recurring if the Company

(Tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands, except per share amounts)

continues to make acquisitions, they are incurred prior to the inclusion of such acquisitions in the consolidated revenues of the Company.

  • Other income from government grant may be useful for investors to consider because it is related to the US CARES Act from COVID-19. This income is expected to be non-recurring and is not considered to be a representative component of the day-to-day operating performance of our business.
  • The change in fair value of debentures and warrants were non-cash until realized upon settlement of the instruments.
