HealthLynked Corp (HLYK)·Q2 2017 Earnings Summary

Executive Summary

  • Revenue of $0.517M rose 3% year over year and approximately 9% quarter over quarter, driven by stronger performance at Naples Women’s Center (NWC) and early sales efforts for the HealthLynked Network .
  • Operating loss widened to $0.483M (vs. $0.183M last year; $0.387M in Q1) due to ~$0.125M of public filing-related costs and ~$0.150M incremental salaries/benefits tied to network growth and public listing readiness .
  • Net loss was $0.561M and EPS was $(0.01), pressured by $0.059M amortization of debt discounts and $0.020M interest expense on convertible notes and related-party debt .
  • Liquidity remains tight: cash of $19k, working capital deficit of ~$0.958M, and “going concern” language; management intends to fund operations via an up-to-$3M ELOC, equity sales, and related-party loans, though low trading volumes may limit ELOC capacity near term .
  • Catalysts: OTCQB listing (May 10), test launch in three Florida markets (June), sales team buildout, and investor webcast (July 13) supporting awareness and commercial ramp .

Management Commentary

  • “NWC... had a very strong quarter with $516,798 in revenue compared to last quarter of $476,118 in revenue - a 9% increase.” — Dr. Michael Dent, Chairman & CEO .
  • “We have also launched sales efforts in three cities in Florida... Our initial results are very promising... being well received by the physician community.” — Dr. Michael Dent .
  • “We commenced trading on the OTCQB on May 10th... The SEC declared our S1 filing related to our $3M Investment Agreement effective... We have also raised $395,000 this year...” — Q1 press release .
  • Liquidity plan: repay convertible notes via ELOC puts/equity/loans; caution on low trading volume limiting ELOC availability .

Estimates Context

  • Wall Street consensus (S&P Global) for Q2 2017 EPS, revenue, and EBITDA was unavailable due to data access limits at time of retrieval. Values retrieved from S&P Global were unavailable.

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • Revenue stabilized with q/q improvement at NWC while the HealthLynked Network begins commercial rollout; near-term revenue remains practice-led with network upside dependent on sales execution .
  • Losses widened due to upfront public-company and go-to-market costs; expect continued operating losses as commercialization scales unless funding and adoption accelerate .
  • Liquidity risk is elevated (cash $19k, working capital deficit ~$0.958M); funding strategy hinges on ELOC, equity issuance, and debt; low volume constrains ELOC effectiveness, raising financing execution risk .
  • Capital structure includes sizable warrants/options and convertible notes that may be dilutive upon conversion or exercise; monitor maturity extensions and financing terms .
  • Physician capacity rebuild (post-CEO retirement) and potential acquisitions of medical practices could add revenue and patient networks, supporting network adoption .
  • Short-term trading: headlines around financings, note extensions, and sales milestones likely drive volatility; liquidity events are key catalysts .
  • Medium-term thesis: execution on physician onboarding, patient adoption, and monetization via provider subscriptions/telemedicine is critical to transitioning from practice-driven revenue to scalable platform economics .
