Dentalcorp Holdings Ltd. (“Dentalcorp” or the “Company”) (TSX: DNTL), Canada’s largest and one of North America’s fastest growing networks of dental practices, today announced its financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024. All financial figures are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.

“Our teams across the country delivered another outstanding quarter of results, with revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth of approximately 9% and 10%, respectively, over the second quarter of 2023. We continued to realize operating leverage in the business, with our Adjusted EBITDA Margin expanding 0.3% over the second quarter of 2023 and sequentially for the fourth quarter in a row,” said Graham Rosenberg, CEO and Chairman of Dentalcorp.

“In the second quarter, we generated record revenues of $399.8 million and Adjusted Free Cash Flow of $40.7 million, a 21.1% increase compared to the second quarter of 2023. This led to an accelerated pace of deleveraging, with leverage levels down for the third consecutive quarter to 4.1x, a reduction of 0.3x from the second quarter of 2023,” Rosenberg added.

“We self-funded our acquisition program for the fifth consecutive quarter and deployed approximately $41 million into nine accretive acquisitions, which are expected to generate PF Adjusted EBITDA after rent of $6.2 million,” Rosenberg continued.

With regard to the federal government’s Canadian Dental Care Plan (“CDCP”), Nate Tchaplia, President and Chief Financial Officer, noted “on May 1, 2024, we began providing care to eligible patients under the CDCP. To date, we have treated over 20,000 CDCP patients and are pleased with the program’s progression.”

“The CDCP is significantly increasing access to dental care for Canadians, aligning with our patient-first approach. Over the short to medium term, we continue to expect the CDCP to have a neutral to slightly positive impact on our business,” Tchaplia added.

“Consistent with our previous outlook, we expect to see SPRG continue to increase in the second half of 2024 to 4%+. Overall, we remain on track to meet our full-year targets for Adjusted EBITDA Margin expansion, acquisition pacing, Adjusted Free Cash Flow Per Share growth, and balance sheet deleveraging. Finally, we anticipate reducing our borrowing costs by 50 basis points before year-end,” Rosenberg concluded.

Financial and Operating Results for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2024:

  • Revenue of $399.8 million, representing an increase of 8.6% compared to the second quarter of 2023, driven in part by Same Practice Revenue Growth1 of 2.0%.
  • Adjusted EBITDA1 of $73.9 million, a 10.3% increase over the second quarter of 2023, with Adjusted EBITDA Margin1 of 18.5%.
  • Adjusted Net Income1 for the quarter was $22.5 million, a decrease of 36.6% from the second quarter of 2023.
  • Adjusted Free Cash Flow1 for the quarter was $40.7 million, a 21.1% increase over the second quarter of 2023.
  • Acquired 9 practices expected to contribute $6.2 million in PF Adjusted EBITDA after rent1.

Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures

As appropriate, we supplement our results of operations determined in accordance with IFRS with certain non-IFRS and other financial measures that we believe are useful to investors, lenders, and others in assessing our performance and which highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. These non-IFRS and other financial measures are described and reconciled to the closest applicable IFRS measure in further detail below. Our management also uses non-IFRS and other financial measures for purposes of comparison to prior periods, to prepare annual operating budgets, for the development of future projections and earnings growth prospects, to measure the profitability of ongoing operations and in analyzing our financial condition, business performance and trends, including the operating performance of the business after taking into consideration the acquisitions of dental practices, and to determine components of employee compensation. As such, 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, including how we evaluate our financial performance and how we manage our capital structure. We also believe that securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties frequently use these non-IFRS and other financial measures and industry metrics in the evaluation of issuers. These non-IFRS and other financial measures are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may include or exclude certain items as compared to similar IFRS measures, and such measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. For further information on non-IFRS and other financial measures, including the most directly comparable IFRS measures, composition of the measures, a description of how we use these measures, an explanation of how these measures are useful to investors and applicable reconciliations, refer to the “Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures”, “Non-IFRS Financial Measures”, “Non-IFRS Ratios” and “Certain Supplementary Financial Measures” sections of management’s discussion and analysis of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2024 (the “MD&A”), which is available on the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

EBITDA

“EBITDA” means, for the applicable period, net loss and comprehensive loss plus (a) net finance costs, (b) income tax recovery, and (c) depreciation and amortization. Management does not use EBITDA as a financial performance metric, but we present EBITDA to assist investors in understanding the mathematical development of Adjusted EBITDA. The most comparable IFRS measure to EBITDA is Net loss and comprehensive loss, for which a reconciliation is provided below.

Adjusted EBITDA

“Adjusted EBITDA” is calculated by adding to EBITDA certain expenses, costs, charges or benefits incurred in such period which in management’s view are either not indicative of underlying business performance or impact the ability to assess the operating performance of our business, including: (a) net impact of unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses on non-cash balances, change in fair value of derivative instruments, and share of associate losses; (b) share-based compensation; (c) external acquisition expenses; (d) change in fair value of contingent consideration; (e) change in fair value of preferred shares; (f) strategic review costs; (g) other corporate costs; (h) loss on disposal of dental practices; and (i) short-term benefits. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure used by management and other users of our financial statements to assess the financial performance of our business without regard to the effects of interest, depreciation and amortization costs, expenses that are not considered reflective of underlying business performance, and other expenses that are expected to be one-time or non-recurring. We use Adjusted EBITDA to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period and to provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. The most comparable IFRS measure to Adjusted EBITDA is Net loss and comprehensive loss.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin

“Adjusted EBITDA Margin” means Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. We use Adjusted EBITDA Margin to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period and to provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow

“Adjusted free cash flow” is calculated by adding or subtracting from cash flow from operating activities: (a) external acquisition expenses; (b) strategic review costs; (c) other corporate costs; (d) short-term benefits; (e) repayment of principal on leases; (f) maintenance capital expenditure; and (g) changes in working capital. We use Adjusted free cash flow to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period, to provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business, and to determine components of employee compensation. The most comparable IFRS measure to Adjusted free cash flow is cash flow from operating activities, for which a reconciliation is provided below.

PF Revenue

“PF Revenue” in respect of a period means revenue for that period plus the Company’s estimate of the additional revenue that it would have recorded if it had acquired each of the dental practices that it acquired during that period on the first day of that period, calculated in accordance with the methodology described in the reconciliation table in “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures”. Given the highly acquisitive nature of our business, management believes PF Revenue is more reflective of our operating performance. We use PF Revenue to determine components of employee compensation. The most comparable IFRS measure to PF Revenue is revenue, for which a reconciliation is provided in the table below.

(a)

The Company regularly acquires dental practices and estimates that if it had acquired each of the practices that it acquired during the last twelve months ended June 30, 2024, it would have recorded additional revenue of $51.5 million. These estimates are based on the amount of revenue budgeted by the Company to be earned by the relevant practices at the time of their acquisition by Dentalcorp. There can be no assurance that if the Company had acquired these practices on the first day of the applicable fiscal period, they would have actually generated such budgeted revenue, nor is this estimate indicative of future results.

PF Adjusted EBITDA

“PF Adjusted EBITDA” in respect of a period means Adjusted EBITDA for that period plus the Company’s estimate of the additional Adjusted EBITDA that it would have recorded if it had acquired each of the dental practices that it acquired during that period on the first day of that period, calculated in accordance with the methodology described in the reconciliation table below. Both creditors and the Company use PF Adjusted EBITDA to assess our borrowing capacity, which management believes, given the highly acquisitive nature of our business, is more reflective of our operating performance. We also use PF Adjusted EBITDA to determine components of employee compensation. The most comparable IFRS measure to PF Adjusted EBITDA is Net loss and comprehensive loss.

PF Adjusted EBITDA Margin

“PF Adjusted EBITDA Margin” means PF Adjusted EBITDA divided by PF Revenue. Both creditors and the Company use PF Adjusted EBITDA Margin to assess our borrowing capacity, which management believes, given the highly acquisitive nature of our business, is more reflective of our operating performance.

The Company regularly acquires dental practices and estimates that if it had acquired each of the practices that it acquired during the last twelve months ended June 30, 2024, it would have recorded additional Adjusted EBITDA of $13.4 million. These estimates are based on the amount of Practice-Level EBITDA budgeted by the Company to be earned by the relevant practices at the time of their acquisition by Dentalcorp. There can be no assurance that if the Company had acquired these practices on the first day of the applicable fiscal period, they would have actually generated such budgeted Practice-Level EBITDA, nor is this estimate indicative of future results.

PF Adjusted EBITDA after rent

“PF Adjusted EBITDA after rent” in respect of a period means PF Adjusted EBITDA less interest and principal repayments on leases and lease interest and principal repayments on acquisitions. Both creditors and the Company use PF Adjusted EBITDA after rent to assess our borrowing capacity, which management believes, given the highly acquisitive nature of our business, is more reflective of our operating performance. The most comparable IFRS measure to PF Adjusted EBITDA after rent is Net loss and comprehensive loss.

Net debt / PF Adjusted EBITDA after rent Ratio

“Net debt / PF Adjusted EBITDA after rent Ratio” means non-current borrowings divided by PF Adjusted EBITDA after rent. We use Net debt / PF Adjusted EBITDA after rent Ratio to assess our borrowing capacity.

Same Practice Revenue Growth

“Same Practice Revenue Growth” in respect of a period means the percentage change in revenue derived from Established Practices in that period as compared to revenue from the same dental practices in the corresponding period in the immediately prior year.

Such forward-looking information relating to these metrics are not projections; they are goals based on the Company’s current strategies and may be considered forward-looking information under applicable securities laws and subject to significant business, economic, regulatory and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of the Company and its management.

The purpose of disclosing such forward-looking information is to provide investors with more information concerning the financial results that the Company currently believes are achievable based on the assumptions below. Readers are cautioned that the information may not be appropriate for other purposes. While these targets are based on underlying assumptions that management believes are reasonable in the circumstances, readers are cautioned that actual results may vary materially from those described above.

Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon management’s perceptions of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as a number of specific factors and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by management as of the date on which the statements are made, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies which could result in actions, events, conditions, results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking information is based on many factors and assumptions including, but not limited to, the following assumptions for the third quarter of 2024, the implementation of the CDCP, the enrollment of patients in the CDCP, the remainder of fiscal 2024 and the medium-term, as applicable: the Company’s business, operations and capital structure continuing as currently maintained, that the Company’s acquisition program continues without any re-deployment of capital of the Company, the Company’s ability to realize pricing increases, an increase in patient visit volumes in the third quarter of 2024, the impact of the investments the Company has made in its marketing and talent teams and the upgrades to its core information technology systems; the Company’s ability to continue to make and integrate acquisitions at attractive valuations including a reduction in acquisition purchase multiples as compared to prior periods, the impact of corporate investments made in fiscal 2022 and 2023 on the Company’s operations, including the Company’s corporate infrastructure and technology stack and new Human Resource Information system and ERP system, the expansion of service offerings and frequency of patient visits which contribute to optimal patient care, the Company’s ability to mitigate anticipated supply chain disruptions, geopolitical risks, inflationary pressures and labour shortages, expand service offerings and generate cash flow, no changes in the competitive environment or legal or regulatory developments affecting our business; and visits by patients to our Practices at the same rate as current visits.

Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking information as a result of known and unknown risk factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, and could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Such risks include, but are not limited to, the Company’s potential inability to successfully execute its growth strategy and complete additional acquisitions; its dependence on the integration and success of its acquired dental practices; the potential adverse effect of acquisitions on its operations; its dependence on the parties with which the Company has contractual arrangements and obligations; changes in relevant laws, governmental regulations and policy and the costs incurred in the course of complying with such changes; competition in the dental industry; increases in operating costs; the risk of difficulty complying with public company reporting obligations; and the risk of a failure in internal controls and other factors described herein under “Risk Factors” and in “Risk Factors” in the AIF and the Annual MD&A. Accordingly, we warn readers to exercise caution when considering statements containing forward-looking information and caution them that it would be unreasonable to rely on such statements as creating legal rights regarding the Company’s future results or plans. We are under no obligation (and we expressly disclaim any such obligation) to update or alter any statements containing forward-looking information or the factors or assumptions underlying them, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by applicable securities laws. All of the forward-looking information in this release is qualified by the cautionary statements herein.
