IMEXHS Limited (ASX: IME) (“IMEXHS” or “the Company”) today provides its quarterly cash flow and activities summary for the period ended 30 September 2021. IMEXHS is an innovative provider of cloud-based medical imaging software across 15 countries.

IMEXHS CEO Dr German Arango said: “Over the last quarter, we have significantly improved the processes around implementing our standardised radiology solution, Aquila in the Cloud. This has involved working with our partners, clients and employees to ensure customers are set up appropriately to install the software remotely. Nevertheless, there remains further scope to decrease the time from sale to implementation to billing to cash, and this remains a key priority.

Although some of our core markets in Latin America continue to be affected by COVID-19, we are experiencing continued interest in Aquila Custom, our customised radiology solution, from larger customers and an increase in imaging volumes. Our imaging technology is now being used by over 2,100 radiologists and around 300,000 referral physicians.

3 Constant currency basis assumes FY21 results are converted at the average foreign exchange rate for FY20. This removes the impact of changes in currency rates and allows comparison of IMEXHS’s underlying operating performance.

4 Represents the value of monthly recurring contract revenue multiplied by twelve. It provides a 12-month forward view on revenue assuming all contracts expiring within the next 12 months renew at the same rate and at constant exchange rates.

We are pleased to have completed the RIMAB acquisition just after the end of Q3 and look forward to reporting on their operations in Q4. The acquisition will enhance our competitive position, simplify our management structure, improve profitability and remove any perceived related party conflicts.”

Sales and Market Update

Aquila in the Cloud (AiC)

Aquila in the Cloud (AiC), the Company’s standardised radiology solution created to provide small and medium-sized customers with a comprehensive, affordable, and accessible Enterprise Imaging solution that is hosted in the cloud, continued to generate significant interest in the market. The Company has 93 active AiC customers since the product launched in May 2020 with an expected Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) of $2.1m as at 30 September 2021. This is an increase of only $0.1m compared to the AiC ARR at 30 June 2021 despite strong growth in Q3 due to one-off adjustments made as part of the process to improve the order-to-cash performance.

During the September quarter, five significant AiC contracts were signed across Latin America, four of which originated from partners:

  • Subred Integrada de Servicio de Salud Sur ESE, Colombia – expected to generate ~$86,000 in ARR

  • Omni Hospital, Ecuador – expected to generate ~$73,000 in ARR

  • Hospital Nacional Catarino Rivas, Honduras –expected to generate ~$63,000 in ARR

  • Hospital de Niños Benjamin Blooms’s, El Salvador – expected to generate ~$57,000 in ARR

  • Clínica Cruz Jiminian, The Dominican Republic – expected to generate ~$57,000 in ARR

The pace of implementation for AiC projects improved during the September quarter with 17 implementations being completed, a 55% increase on Q1 FY21.

Outlook

The pipeline of opportunities for both Aquila Custom and Aquila in the Cloud remains strong and progress continues to be made in sales and implementation improvements of Aquila in the Cloud.

Based on YTD numbers and the healthy pipeline, management re-affirms the FY21 revenue guidance of between $11.5m and $13.0m. This guidance excludes RIMAB’s contribution in Q4. Excluding oneoffs, management expects the Q4 FY21 contribution from RIMAB for both revenue and EBITDA to be above the prior year’s Q4 results of $2.0m and $0.3m, respectively.

Partners Program

During the quarter, the IMEXHS Partners Program continued to add value by originating over 68% of all AiC contracts received. As of 30 September, the IMEXHS’s Partners Program consisted of 30 distributors across 13 countries, including a new partner in Australia and a new partner in Mexico.

Key Markets

United States

Two new AiC contracts were signed during the quarter in South Florida, resulting in eight customers in the US since the Company began operating in the US in November 2020. Both customers are multimodality medical imaging centers and will go live with the Aquila in the Cloud solution alongside its patient portal during the fourth quarter.

Mexico

During Q3, AiC continued to generate significant demand in Mexico. In addition, Sincronia Medica Aplicada (SIMA), an important distributor of comprehensive medical services across Mexico became a new partner of the IMEXHS Partners Program. SIMA counts with an extensive portfolio of biomedical equipment and AQUILA will be the first Enterprise Imaging Solution they include in their commercial offering.

Software Updates during Q3

Progress has been made during the quarter with new software releases as follows:

Universal Viewer

During the quarter, IMEXHS released several features in its Viewer including:

V.5.2 Mobile Phone Viewer

The latest version of IMEXHS’s Mobile Phone web viewer was released in response to significant interest from current and potential customers. V.5.2 is the fastest and most intuitive version to date with a significantly improved UX and UI. Other improvement included are:

  • DICOM PDF encapsulated support for several mobile browsers

  • Previous studies support

  • Compatibility with Aquila Custom and Aquila in the Cloud

  • Compatibility with the IMEXHS Portal

DICOM PDF encapsulated support

The Company’s Universal Viewer can now interact with encapsulated DICOM PDF’s which will allow a seamless integration with postprocessing centres that produce structured reports as PDF documents.

Walk-throughs for the IMEXHS Viewer (Radiology & Pathology)

A walk-through is an unassisted step-by-step demonstration within the product. This will lead to a better user-experience overall for IMEXHS’s Aquila and Alula customers.

Key image feature

The key image tool was launched allowing radiologists to select a key image among a large sequence of images within a study. Once the key image has been selected, the radiologist can store the image and use it for structured reporting at a later date.

Listing Rule 4.7C3

In Item 6 of the Appendix 4C cash flow report for the quarter, payments to Related Parties of approximately $520,000 comprises:

  • $106,000 of Director remuneration to executive and non-executive directors;

  • $390,000 for radiology services to RIMAB SAS, a related party of Dr German Arango;

  • $4,000 in expenses for office space and IT services to CrossPoint Telecommunications Pty Ltd, a related party of Mr Carlos Palacio; and

  • $20,000 in payments due to Dr Arango for PaaS Equipment Financing.

The payment to RIMAB SAS was offset by the receipt of $935,000 for the provision of services by IMEXHS to RIMAB SAS.
