TODOS MEDICAL LTD. (TOMDF)·Q3 2021 Earnings Summary

Executive Summary

  • Q3 2021 revenue was $1.010M, down 21% year over year as Todos transitioned from equipment distribution to higher‑margin testing through its Provista CLIA/CAP lab; quarterly gross profit was $0.401M and operating loss narrowed materially versus Q3 2020 .
  • EPS was a loss of $0.01 per share in Q3 2021 (10‑Q), while the press release referenced a $0.02 loss; the 10‑Q is authoritative and reflects a lower per‑share loss due to a higher weighted average share count .
  • Management highlighted completed automation at Provista (capacity >20k PCR tests/day) and expects a COVID testing surge in Q4 2021, plus interim Tollovir Phase 2 data in Q4 2021; Tollovid/Tollovid Daily gained Amazon and Alibaba authorizations in Q3 .
  • Liquidity remains tight (cash $0.166M vs shareholders’ deficit $(10.499)M) with significant convertible debt ($17.017M), and a major customer dispute prompted a $3.465M payment demand letter on Nov 15, 2021, elevating execution and financing risks .

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

What Went Well

  • Provista lab automation completed; capacity scaled to 20,000+ PCR tests/day, 5,000 variant tests/day, 2,500+ respiratory panels/day and 1,500+ neutralizing antibody tests/day, positioning for higher‑margin revenue capture .
  • Commercial progress in consumer channels: Amazon and Alibaba authorized Tollovid/Tollovid Daily, expanding distribution footprint ahead of expected winter demand .
  • Operating loss improved sharply YoY (Q3 2021 $(2.497)M vs $(10.246)M in Q3 2020) on lower R&D and sales/marketing expenses versus prior year, despite revenue decline .

What Went Wrong

  • Liquidity constraints persisted (cash $0.166M as of 9/30/21), with shareholders’ deficit of $(10.499)M and elevated financing costs (YTD financing expenses $17.360M), highlighting dependence on external funding .
  • Revenue fell 21% YoY in Q3 2021 to $1.010M as the company shifted away from equipment sales; near‑term revenue pressure from the transition remains evident .
  • Customer concentration risk materialized: a significant customer’s contract expired; Todos sent a $3.465M demand letter seeking payment and equipment return, underscoring receivables risk and revenue uncertainty .

Management Commentary

  • “With the automation at Provista complete, we expect to capture a greater percentage of our future business from our own testing lab rather than through distribution… We expect this to result in increases in revenue and gross margins overall and on a per test basis.” — Daniel Hirsch, CFO .
  • “The acquisition of Provista gives us the ability to establish a commercial ready test addressing a multi‑billion market opportunity… the launch of our Phase 2 trial for Tollovir as a COVID antiviral candidate is a potential game changer.” — Gerald E. Commissiong, CEO (Q2 release) .

Estimates Context

S&P Global/Capital IQ consensus estimates were unavailable for TOMDF due to missing mapping; therefore, no comparison vs Street estimates is provided. Values would normally be retrieved from S&P Global, but were not available for this ticker.

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • Near‑term revenue mix shift: Provista lab enables higher‑margin testing; management expects Q4 demand surge (seasonal COVID) and margin uplift as testing displaces distribution .
  • Clinical catalyst: Interim Tollovir Phase 2 data expected in Q4 2021; prior observational data showed favorable outcomes (zero deaths in treated group) supporting potential value creation if randomized data are positive .
  • Consumer channel expansion: Tollovid/Tollovid Daily authorizations on Amazon and Alibaba diversify revenue streams ahead of winter seasonality .
  • Liquidity and leverage watch‑items: Cash $0.166M, shareholders’ deficit $(10.499)M, and significant convertible bridge loans ($17.017M) demand continued access to financing; elevated financing expenses pressured bottom line .
  • Receivables risk: The $3.465M demand letter to a major customer underscores collections risk; resolution could materially impact cash and reported revenue/AR .
  • EPS comparability: Rely on 10‑Q for EPS ($0.01) loss in Q3 2021; press release cited ($0.02), reflecting earlier share count assumptions — treat 10‑Q as definitive .
  • Uplisting aspirations remain contingent on operational execution, financing stability, and strengthening internal controls that management acknowledges require remediation .
