VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 19, 2026--
WELL Health Technologies Corp. (TSX: WELL, OTCQX: WHTCF) (the "Company" or "WELL"), a digital healthcare company focused on positively impacting health outcomes by leveraging technology to empower healthcare practitioners and their patients globally, is pleased to announce it has filed its audited annual financial statements for the fiscal year and fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025, the related management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A"), and accompanying CEO and CFO certifications under its profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
Hamed Shahbazi, Chairman and CEO of WELL commented, "2025 was a defining year for WELL. We achieved $1.40 billion in revenue and over $200 million in Adjusted EBITDA(1) while meaningfully improving our margin profile, and we met our guidance on both measures. More importantly, 2025 was the year we crystallized who we are: WELL is building the infrastructure for a healthier Canada. Our clinics deliver care, WELLSTAR powers the digital workflows, HEALWELL applies AI at enterprise scale, and CyberWELL protects the data. With the expansion of our credit facility and the largest acquisition pipeline in our history, we are well positioned to accelerate growth in our highest-return market while unlocking value from our US portfolio."
Mr. Shahbazi further adds, "We are also very excited with the progress of our WELLSTAR subsidiary which continues to play a central role in digitally enabling healthcare providers across Canada by delivering a highly integrated, increasingly AI-enabled platform that reduces administrative burden and improves clinical workflows. We believe the market has yet to fully appreciate the value embedded in WELLSTAR, and the planned spin-out is designed to surface that value for our shareholders."
Eva Fong, WELL's Chief Financial Officer, commented, "In 2026, we expect our acquisition pipeline in Canada to remain active, with a continued emphasis on higher-margin primary care and diagnostics assets. During 2025, we continued to execute on our Canadian clinic growth strategy with discipline, completing 19 clinic acquisition transactions and adding approximately $112.6 million in annualized clinical revenue. These investments were supported by strong operating cash flow and the expansion of our senior secured credit facility, all of which enhance our financial flexibility and liquidity. With a strengthened balance sheet and sound leverage profile, we are well positioned to continue our growth plans. Our capital allocation strategy remains focused on delivering a minimum of 10% normalized Adjusted EBITDA growth annually while reinvesting capacity into top-line growth through our Canadian acquisition pipeline."
Fiscal 2025 Annual Financial Highlights:
-- WELL achieved record annual revenue of $1.40 billion in 2025, an
increase of 52% compared to revenue of $919.7 million generated in 2024.
This growth was mainly driven by organic growth, acquisitions completed
over the last twelve months and the inclusion of HEALWELL results in
WELL's consolidated financial reporting. Excluding CM and CRH impacts
from both 2025 & 2024, normalized(2) revenue would have reached $1.35
billion in 2025, representing a 34% increase compared to $1.00 billion in
2024.
-- Adjusted Gross Margin(1) percentage was 44.2% in 2025 compared to
Adjusted Gross Margin(1) percentage of 39.5% in 2024. The increase in
Adjusted Gross Margin(1) percentage was primarily driven by revenue mix
and the addition of higher margin HEALWELL revenue.
-- Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $203.7 million in 2025, an increase of 336%
compared to Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $46.7 million in 2024. Adjusted
EBITDA(1) margin was 14.5% in 2025, compared to 5.1% in 2024. Excluding
CM & CRH impacts from both 2025 & 2024, normalized(2) Adjusted EBITDA(1)
would have been $148.6 million in 2025, representing 17% YoY growth
compared to $127.0 million in 2024.
-- Adjusted EBITDA(1) attributable to WELL shareholders was $149.0 million
in 2025, an increase of 275% compared to Adjusted EBITDA(1) to WELL
shareholders of $39.8 million in 2024.
-- Adjusted Net Income(1) was $126.5 million, or $0.50 per share in 2025,
compared to Adjusted Net Income(1) of $8.0 million, or $0.03 per share in
2024.
-- Operating Adjusted Free Cashflow(1) available to shareholders (or
FCFA2S) was $58.2 million in 2025 compared to FCFA2S of $48.9 million in
2024. FCFA2S was impacted by elevated capital expenditures focused on
upgrading our clinical portfolio.

revenue of $68.1 million in 2025, an increase of 59% compared to $42.9
million in 2024. WELLSTAR's growth was driven by healthy organic growth
and acquisitions.

and the US, representing an increase of 21% compared to 5.7 million
patient visits in 2024.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Business Highlights:
On November 3, 2025, the Company announced that it completed a series of strategic transactions with its subsidiary, HEALWELL, to streamline operations, accelerate clinical research, and focus on high-growth AI and software initiatives. The transactions included (i) the sale of HEALWELL's Polyclinic Family Medicine and Specialty Clinics Group ("Polyclinic") to WELL, (ii) the formation of a 50/50 clinical research joint venture between HEALWELL and WELL, (iii) combining the businesses of Bio Pharma Services Inc. and Canadian Phase Onward Inc. within the joint venture, and (iv) the sale of HEALWELL's interest in Mutuo Health Solutions Inc. ("Mutuo") to WELLSTAR.
On November 13, 2025, the Company announced that WELLSTAR's OceanMD business unit was awarded a material provincial eReferral contract following a competitive procurement process. With this strategic contract, WELLSTAR now facilitates over 1.7 million eReferrals annually across four Canadian provinces with participation from more than 20,000 physicians across 3,800 clinics nationwide.
On December 8, 2025, the Company announced that WELLSTAR had completed its Series B Preferred Share investment in the aggregate amount of approximately $62.0 million at an offering price of C$1.50 per Series B Share. Upon closing, WELLSTAR issued $59.0 million Series B Shares to the institutional investors, plus an additional amount of approximately $3.0 million of Series B Shares to management of both WELLSTAR and the Company.
Events Subsequent to December 31, 2025:
On February 1, 2026, WELL completed the acquisition of a leading technology-enabled e-consult platform in Alberta, together with eight primary care clinics, which is expected to contribute approximately $45.0 million in pro forma annual revenue. The eight primary care clinics closed on December 1, 2025, while the E-Consult platform transaction closed on February 1, 2026. E-consults are secure digital consultations that allow primary care providers to obtain specialist guidance electronically, helping reduce wait times, avoid unnecessary referrals and diagnostics, and improve patient care coordination.
On February 4, 2026, the Company announced that it had expanded and extended its senior secured credit facility to $400 million, with an additional $100 million uncommitted accordion, under a syndicate led by Royal Bank of Canada, JPMorgan Chase Bank, and Toronto-Dominion Bank, effectively doubling prior capacity and extending the maturity to January 2030.
On March 17, 2026, WELLSTAR announced it has completed the acquisition of two medical billing assets: PatientSERV, closed on December 1, 2025, is Ontario's leading uninsured and third--party medical billing platform; Lambert Médico Factures, closed on February 1, 2026, is one of Québec's most established medical billing providers. These acquisitions significantly expand WELLSTAR's presence in Canada's largest provincial markets and extend its billing coverage to six provinces nationwide.
Outlook:
WELL is expecting strong operational performance to continue into 2026 with a greater emphasis on leveraging the depth of the Company's product and technology offerings from WELLSTAR and HEALWELL. The Company also continues to focus the majority of its M&A and capital allocation activity in Canada where it derives the highest return on capital. Management will continue to pursue its focus on optimizing operations for organic growth and profitability. The Company also intends to proceed with the spin-out of WELLSTAR, subject to market conditions. As such, management is pleased to provide the following guidance:
-- Annual revenue for 2026 is expected to be in the range of $1.55 billion
to $1.65 billion
-- Annual Adjusted EBITDA (1) for 2026 is expected to be in the range of
$175 million to $185 million
WELL's 2026 guidance assumes, among other things, the following: approximately $17.6 million in deferred Circle Medical revenue is expected to be recognized in 2026 (3) and will result in close to 100% contribution to Adjusted EBITDA (1) ; only includes acquisitions announced to date. Excluding the impacts of CRH and Circle Medical deferrals, the Company expects to continue to deliver performance in line with prior years of achieving better than 10% annual growth in Adjusted EBITDA(1) and free cashflow growth, including acquisitions.
For WELL Canada, which includes Canadian Clinics, WELLSTAR and CyberWELL, the Company is targeting over $800 million in revenue and over $100 million in Adjusted EBITDA(1) within 18 months, inclusive of acquisitions and organic growth.
We remain resolutely committed to completing the sale of our US care delivery assets. Active processes are underway for all three of Wisp, Circle Medical, and CRH, and our objective is to announce transactions that unlock value for shareholders.

Footnotes:
1. Non-GAAP financial measures and ratios. In addition to results
reported in accordance with IFRS, the Company uses certain non-GAAP
financial measures as supplemental indicators of its financial and
operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures include Adjusted
Net Income, Adjusted Net Income Per Share, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted
Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow. The
Company believes these supplementary financial measures reflect the
Company's ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful
period-to-period comparisons and analysis of trends in its business.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Share The Company
defines Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss), after excluding the
effects of share-based payments, amortization of acquired intangible
assets, time-based earnout expense, change in fair value of investments,
change in fair value of derivative liability, share of income (loss) of
associates, impairment charge, gain/losses that are not reflective of
ongoing operating performance and non-controlling interests, and revenue
precluded from recognition under IFRS 15 that relates to certain patient
services revenue that the Company believes should be recognized as
revenue based on its contractual relationships. Adjusted Net Income Per
Share is Adjusted Net Income divided by weighted average number of shares
outstanding. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures
provide useful information to analyze our results, enhance a reader's
understanding of past financial performance and allow for greater
understanding with respect to key metrics used by management in decision
making. More specifically, the Company believes Adjusted Net Income is a
financial metric that tracks the earning power of the business that is
available to WELL shareholders. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. EBITDA represents net income
(loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. The
Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA (i) less net rent expense on
premise leases considered to be finance leases under IFRS and (ii) before
transaction, restructuring, and integration costs, time-based earn-out
expense, change in fair value of investments, change in fair value of
derivative liability, share of loss of associates, impairment charge,
foreign exchange gain/loss, and share-based payments, (iii) revenue
precluded from recognition under IFRS 15 that relates to certain patient
services revenue that the Company believes should be recognized as
revenue based on its contractual relationships, and (iv) gains/losses
that are not reflective of ongoing operating performance. The Company
considers Adjusted EBITDA a financial metric that measures cash that the
Company can use to fund working capital requirements, service future
interest and principal debt repayments and fund future growth
initiatives. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered
alternatives to net income (loss), cash flow from operating activities or
other measures of financial performance in accordance with IFRS.
Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin The Company defines
Adjusted Gross Profit as revenue less cost of sales (excluding
depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted Gross Margin as adjusted
gross profit as a percentage of revenue. Adjusted gross profit and
adjusted gross margin should not be construed as an alternative for
revenue or net income (loss) determined in accordance with IFRS. The
Company does not present gross profit in its consolidated financial
statements as it is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes
that adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin are meaningful
metrics that are often used by readers to measure the Company's
efficiency of selling its products and services. Adjusted Free Cash
Flow The Company defines Adjusted Free Cash Flow Attributable to
Shareholders as Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders, less cash
interest, less cash taxes and less capital expenditures. Adjusted Net
income, Adjusted Net Income per Share, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross
Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are not
recognized measures for financial statement presentation under IFRS and
do not have standardized meanings. As such, these measures may not be
comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and should be
considered as supplements to, and not as substitutes for, or superior to,
the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with IFRS.
2. Normalized Revenue and Normalized Adjusted EBITDA The Company's
Revenue and non-GAAP financial measures including Adjusted EBITDA,
Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Net Income and
Adjusted Net Income per share (basic and diluted) were materially
impacted by the revenue deferral at Circle Medical and the revenue impact
at CRH Medical resulting from impaired revenue cycle management services
due to the cybersecurity incident experienced by the Company's U.S.
billing provider. Since these one-time impact and deferred revenues do
not significantly include added cashflow, management provides its key
results and outlook including and excluding these one-time and deferred
revenues to facilitate improved insights to WELL's financial results.
3. Circle Medical Deferred Revenue Adjustments Circle Medical's deferred
revenue adjustments or "CM Deferrals" refer to adjustments related to the
deferred recognition of certain revenues at Circle Medical in accordance
with IFRS 15. Since Deferred revenues do not include significant added
cashflow, management provides its key results and outlook including and
excluding deferred revenues to facilitate improved insights to WELL's
financial results. For more details, please refer to the Overall
Performance section of the Company's 2025 Annual MD&A.
