HealthLynked Announces Acquisition of Aesthetic Enhancements, LLC, and Reports First Quarter 2022 Results Including a Significant Reduction in Net Loss

Company grows its Health Services Division with profitable cosmetic practice acquisition

NAPLES, Fla., May 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- HealthLynked Corp. (OTCQB: HLYK), ("HealthLynked" or the "Company"), a global healthcare network focused on care management of its members and a provider of healthcare technologies that connects doctors, patients, and medical data, today announced the acquisition of Aesthetic Enhancements, LLC, a provider of minimally and non-invasive cosmetic procedures. The Company also reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Aesthetic Enhancements, LLC ("Aesthetic Treatment Center") Acquisition

Under the terms of the purchase agreement, HealthLynked paid an aggregate purchase price of $425,000, of which $325,000 was paid in cash and $100,000 was paid in shares of HealthLynked common stock. The Aesthetic Treatment Center currently has 4,750 patients and generated approximately $500,000 in revenue and $125,000 of net profit in 2021.

George O'Leary, HealthLynked's Chief Financial Officer, commented, "We are excited to announce the acquisition of Aesthetic Treatment Centers, the leading medical spa in Naples, Florida. This acquisition will generate additional revenue for HealthLynked and provide us the ability to cross-market the services of our Naples Women's Center and Naples Center for Functional Medicine to the medical spa's patients. Additionally, we are pleased to announce that Dr. Kathleen Marc, medical director of the Aesthetic Treatment Center, will be joining our Naples Women's Center facility as a gynecologist. Dr. Marc is a renowned practitioner and brings over 35 years of experience to our Women's Center facility."

First Quarter 2022 Financial Results

For the first quarter 2022, HealthLynked reported revenue of $1.6 million, compared to $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2021. The Company experienced physician turnover at the Naples Women's Center, impacting revenue in the Health Services Division, which has since been resolved. Net loss declined 85% to ($1.2) million, compared to a net loss of ($7.8) million in the first quarter of 2021. Compared to the prior quarter, revenue remained relatively flat at $1.6 million against fourth quarter 2021 revenue of $1.7 million, while net loss declined by 32% from ($1.7) million in fourth quarter 2021 to ($1.2) million.  Shareholders' equity was $6.1 million as of March 31, 2022.

Dr. Michael Dent, HealthLynked's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, added, "During the first quarter, we made significant investments in our Digital Healthcare Portfolio, including several upgrades to the Oohvie App, which we believe will help us capitalize on the rapid growth trends in the FemTech industry. We also recently appointed Ravi Tiwari, an experienced product manager, to lead the growth of the Oohvie App. With the leadership of Ravi, we are confident that Oohvie will become a significant driver of revenue growth in 2022 and beyond."

Common Shares Update

HealthLynked has decided to postpone the process of uplisting its common shares to the NASDAQ Capital Market until the Company's market capitalization is at an appropriate level. The Company continues to execute on its business strategy to reduce healthcare costs and improve patient outcomes. HealthLynked still intends to uplist to the NASDAQ Capital Market in the future when it is in the best interests of all stakeholders.

Additionally, the OTCQB markets have identified HealthLynked as "Penny Stock Exempt," meaning that shares of HLYK's common stock, par value of $0.01 per share, are no longer a "Penny Stock" as identified in Rule 3a51-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. To qualify as "Penny Stock Exempt" on the OTCQB Markets, an issuer must satisfy one of the following requirements: (i) the issuer's securities have a minimum price greater than $5 per share; (ii) the issuer has average revenues of at least $6 million for the last three (3) years; or (iii) the issuer has net tangible assets exceeding $2 million, if the issuer has been in continuous operations for at least three (3) years or $5 million if less than three (3) years. With the exemption, national broker/dealers may freely recommend HLYK common stock to their clients and as a result, the Company expects this may generate greater interest in HealthLynked.
