Key Takeaways for Investors
- The WFI acquisition is scaling the services model: clinic revenue mix is rising sharply, and clinics generated positive net income excluding corporate overhead, supporting the 2024 profitability narrative .
- Operating discipline is visible: SG&A and total operating costs declined meaningfully YoY, while loss from operations narrowed significantly as revenue scaled .
- Financing remains a headwind: elevated interest/financing expenses and reliance on external capital persist near term, partially offset by the $1.5M revenue loan; cash at quarter-end was $1.06M .
- Strategic optionality: the NAYA merger could broaden the platform (fertility + oncology) but carries multiple closing conditions (financing, approvals, warrant waivers, Nasdaq listing), introducing execution risk .
- KPI momentum: “all clinics” revenue rose to $1.35M in Q3, with pro forma Q3 adjusted EBITDA trending toward breakeven, indicating positive operating trajectory as WFI contribution normalizes .
- Near-term focus: integrate WFI, maintain cost discipline, and advance INVO Centers (Atlanta, Birmingham, Monterrey) while managing liquidity and financing costs carefully .
- No formal guidance provided; monitoring for post–Nov 20 call details and any quantification of 2024 profitability path and merger updates is key for catalysts .
