Estimates Context

  • We attempted to retrieve S&P Global consensus for Q1 2024 EPS and revenue, but no CIQ mapping exists for INVO in the dataset; Street consensus was unavailable via S&P Global at this time (no estimates to compare against) [GetEstimates error: Missing CIQ mapping for INVO].

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • Clinic-led growth is compounding: three consecutive quarters of revenue acceleration post-WFI acquisition; Q1 revenue +353% YoY to $1.58M with clinic revenue +417% YoY to $1.54M .
  • Operating leverage emerging: adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed to $(0.46)M from $(1.75)M a year ago and from $(1.17)M in Q4; continued growth at current opex levels improves 2024 break-even feasibility .
  • One-time charges masked underlying progress: Tampa project exit drove a $0.56M fixed asset disposal loss offset by a $0.09M lease gain; underlying operations improved YoY .
  • Liquidity and listing remain the near-term swing factors: Q1-end cash $0.48M and ongoing cash burn imply continued reliance on external financing; Nasdaq equity deficiency notice adds headline and execution risk .
  • NAYA merger is a key catalyst but conditional: funding tranches, shareholder approvals, and Nasdaq listing requirements must be satisfied; closing deadline extended to June 30, 2024 .
  • Mix shift to clinics should sustain margin trajectory: “revenue from all clinics” rose to $1.87M in Q1 (incl. equity method), supporting scale and profitability targets .
  • No formal revenue/EPS guidance; management reaffirms 2024 break-even/profitability goal for current operations; watch sequential revenue and adjusted EBITDA to gauge path .
