IMAC Holdings, Inc. (BACK)·Q2 2020 Earnings Summary

Executive Summary

  • Q2 2020 revenues fell 31.5% year over year to $2.57M and declined 22.6% sequentially from Q1, driven by COVID-19-related visit reductions; operating loss improved sequentially to $(1.71)M as grant funds offset expenses and cost actions took hold .
  • Net loss attributable to IMAC was $(2.03)M (EPS $(0.20)), versus $(1.90)M (EPS $(0.23)) in Q2 2019; the EPS improvement despite a larger loss reflects higher average shares outstanding .
  • Liquidity position strengthened with cash increasing to $2.80M at quarter-end, aided by a $2.65M registered direct offering (June 18, 2020) and $2.1M+ in HHS/SBA aid; management also executed a sale-leaseback on July 24 eliminating ~$1.23M of liabilities .
  • Strategic catalysts: FDA authorization to initiate a Phase 1 clinical study using umbilical cord-derived allogenic mesenchymal stem cells for Parkinson’s bradykinesia, and early signs of recovery with June same-store visits +7% YoY; Wellness Memberships rose 30% q/q to 637 .

  • “We have already witnessed a recovery in business as evidenced in same-store visit growth of 7% in June 2020 as compared to June 2019.” — Jeffrey Ervin, CEO .
  • Q1 context: “Based on… easing of temporary government restrictions… all of our facilities have reopened to full operation as of May 4, 2020.” — Jeffrey Ervin, CEO .

Q&A Highlights

No public Q2 2020 earnings call transcript or Q&A could be located via SEC/IR sites and press sources; therefore no Q&A themes or clarifications were available to summarize .

Estimates Context

  • We attempted to retrieve S&P Global consensus (revenue and EPS) for Q2 2020 and adjacent periods; data was unavailable at query time due to service limits. As a result, we cannot compare actuals to consensus for this quarter. Values retrieved from S&P Global could not be displayed due to access limitations at the time of request.

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • COVID-19 compressed Q2 visits and revenue, but sequential operating loss improved aided by $0.416M in grant funds and cost synergies; watch for normalization of grant effects on run-rate margins .
  • Early rebound signs surfaced in June (+7% same-store visits YoY) and membership subscriptions grew 30% q/q to 637, offering recurring-revenue leverage if sustained .
  • Liquidity improved: $2.80M cash at quarter-end, supplemented by a $2.65M equity raise; sale-leaseback reduced liabilities by ~$1.232M—near-term balance sheet resilience has increased .
  • Strategic optionality from FDA-cleared Phase 1 Parkinson’s study may diversify revenue longer term; near-term P&L impact minimal but clinical progress could be a catalyst .
  • Absent formal guidance, trajectory will hinge on sustained volume recovery, retention of Wellness Memberships, and payer mix; monitor Q3 sequential growth in visits/revenue for confirmation .
  • Capital structure considerations: earlier (Q1) secured note included restrictive features and step-ups; subsequent equity raise helps mitigate refinancing risk—continue to monitor covenant/obligation implications .
