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 .

- 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 .

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 .
