Newtopia is well-positioned to grow and create value in key market opportunities at the forefront of global healthcare:

• Growth of GLP-1s: Our engagement expertise provides unique ability to facilitate sustainable health outcomes and demonstrable ROI to GLP-1 sponsors
• Rise of Health AI: Our unique data sets and capabilities will enrich and accelerate progress of next-gen clinical discovery platforms
• Commercial and Community Care-Delivery: We see continued expansion with our market-leading employer, provider and provincial innovation partners

TORONTO, Aug. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Newtopia Inc. ("Newtopia" or the "Company") (TSXV: NEWU) (OTCQB: NEWUF), a tech-enabled whole health platform creating sustainable habits that prevent, slow and reverse chronic disease, today announced its second quarter 2024 financial results, operational highlights and filing of its financial statements. These results pertain to the three months ended June 30, 2024. All amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted.

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights (vs. Q2 2023):

• Revenue of $1.6 million, as compared to $2.4 million
• Gross Profit margin of 48%, as compared to 50%
• Opex reduction of 18% year over year

"Over the last eleven years Newtopia's habit change solution has repeatedly proven our unique ability to produce industry leading patient engagement and to cultivate in our users the healthy habits that can prevent, slow and even reverse chronic metabolic disease. We've positioned ourselves at the forefront of healthcare developments, strengthened underlying operations, and evolved with value-based industry needs. As the economy strengthens Newtopia will be best positioned to support the innovative payers looking to drive proven health outcomes."

"Beginning with our industry-first randomized, controlled clinical trial between 2013-2016 and extending to the Fortune 500 employers that have adopted our solution, Newtopia has consistently delivered weight loss and reductions in A1C in participants that are not only clinically significant, but also sustainable over time. This has translated into meaningful cost-savings for our employer-partners and program sponsors and improved the health and well-being for the more than 100,000 individuals whom we have served, irrespective of their setting, geography, healthy equity or socio-economic status. Most recently, Newtopia reported six-month outcomes from its trial with Heartland Whole Health Institute in which we delivered our best-ever engagement rates and weight loss outcomes in both provider and employer environments."

"On the strength of this foundation,  we are pursuing three distinct and significant opportunities to accelerate Newtopia's growth including: (1) expanding our key innovation partnerships with providers, employers and provincial payers; (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.

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $1.6 million, compared to $2.4 million in the prior-year period. This decline was driven by a change made by a client with a long-standing incentive program, which the Company is actively working to offset.

Gross profit for the second quarter 2024 totaled $0.8 million, as compared to $1.2 million in the prior-year period. Gross profit is comprised of Newtopia's revenue less the cost of Welcome Kits sold to new participants, labor costs associated with the Company's coaching team of Inspirators, and amortization on the Company's capitalized technology investments.

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 totaled $1.5 million, compared to $1.8 million in the prior-year period. For the second quarter, the Company posted an operating loss of $727 thousand, compared to a loss of $436 thousand in the prior year period.

The Company ended the second quarter 2024 with $0.52 million in cash, with additional access to their revolving line of credit with a Canadian Schedule 1 bank.

2024 Outlook

Despite a challenging macro environment, the Company remains bullish regarding its strategic fit within the broader healthcare industry. Newtopia will continue to execute on its pipeline to return to EBITDA positive.
