Management Commentary

  • “The results of the quarter highlight the transformation of INVO into a growing, innovative healthcare services company… When you look at the pro forma results… our adjusted EBITDA would have been $(0.3) million… our clinics, exclusive of our corporate costs, generated positive net income… achieving our stated goal of profitability in 2024 becomes increasingly visible.” – Steve Shum, CEO .
  • “Acquired Wisconsin Fertility Institute… further accelerates INVO’s transition to a healthcare services company and provides an opportunity to advance IVC volume and the ability to secure a greater share of total fertility cycle revenue.” .
  • “We made significant progress… our three existing INVO Centers… achieving record levels of revenue and patient cycles… nearing break-even… look forward to… positive cashflows and profits in the near future.” .

Q&A Highlights

  • No Q3 2023 earnings call transcript was available; the company indicated it expected to host a conference call after November 20 pending progress on merger closing conditions .

Estimates Context

  • Wall Street consensus (S&P Global) for INVO (EPS and revenue) was unavailable in our S&P Global feed for Q1–Q3 2023; we cannot present or compare to consensus. As a result, no “beat/miss” assessment versus consensus is provided.

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 .
