IMEXHS CEO Dr German Arango said: “We are pleased with the momentum building for our Aquila in the Cloud product offering (AiC), particularly in the US and Australia, and have been working closely with our partners to make the implementation process more efficient. Our partners have been key to building this momentum and generated 65% of AiC sales in Q2.

Although some of our core markets continue to be affected by COVID-19, we are experiencing renewed interest in our Aquila customised solution from larger customers and an increase in imaging volumes. Our imaging technology is now being used by over 2,100 radiologists and almost 300,000 referral physicians. This includes the ~40 radiologists at RIMAB, the radiology service provider we plan to acquire later this year.[5] ”

Sales and Market Update

Aquila in the Cloud (AiC)

Aquila in the Cloud (AiC), the Company’s standardised radiology solution, experienced its strongest quarter with a new AiC contract signed on average every 3.75 days. During the quarter, 24 new deals were signed, taking the total to 84 AiC customers since the product launched in May 2020 and with an expected Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) of $2.0m at 30 June 2021.

During the quarter, AiC continued to generate strong sales momentum across key markets, especially among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) which are largely unattended by legacy Enterprise Imaging providers. Three new orders were received in South Florida for a total of six AiC customers in the USA. A further two deals were also signed in Australia of which two were generated by one of IMEXHS’s AiC partners. By 30 June 2021, there were a total of four AiC customers in Australia.

Despite the interest in and sales of AiC, the pace of implementation and consequently generation of revenue and cash has been slower than planned. A program to improve that situation is underway. During Q2 FY21, two notable AiC contracts were signed in Colombia:

  • Colsubsidio – IMEXHS received its first order for its Ophthalmology offering from its existing customer, Colsubsidio. The new contract is for a Beta site for its new Ophthalmology product which is line with the Company’s Enterprise Imaging platform strategy. The contract is expected to generate over $36,000 in ARR.

  • Clinica Medical – IMEXHS will implement its Enterprise Imaging platform across Clinica Medical’s three hospitals. The contract is expected to generate over $122,000 in ARR.

Outlook

The pipeline of opportunities remains strong and good progress continues to be made in sales of Aquila in the Cloud. The sale of SaaS imaging suites in new medical verticals has commenced but is unlikely to make a material impact in 2021.

IMEXHS expects to provide full-year guidance at the H1 results announcement on 30 August.

Partners Program

During the quarter, the importance of IMEXHS’s Partners network was made evident with over 65% of all AiC contracts received during the June quarter originating from partners. As of 30 June, 28 distributors are part of the IMEXHS’s Partners Program.

New | Key Markets

United States

The three new AiC contracts in Q2 were in South Florida, resulting in six customers in the US. All three customers are multi-modality medical imaging centers and will go live with IMEXHS’s cloud-based Enterprise Imaging platform alongside its patient portal in the third quarter. The Company continued to strengthen it sales team in Florida by hiring a new Sales Representative to focus on North Florida.

Australia

Of the three new AiC customers in Australia, one customer is a multi-modality medical imaging centre offering complete medical imaging diagnostic services as well as teleradiology services. IMEXHS will replace a legacy RIS/PACS provider with its next generation Enterprise Imaging platform with an integrated billing solution. The other two AiC customers will implement the Company’s end-to-end, user friendly Enterprise Imaging solution during the third quarter.

Mexico

During Q2, AiC continued to generate significant demand in Mexico, with orders received from five new clients.

Net Promoter Score (NPS)

During the June quarter IMEXHS received an NPS of 40 for its product when asked “How likely are you to recommend the products offered by IMEXHS to a friend or colleague?" and an NPS of 67 for its services when asked “How likely are you to recommend the IMEXHS service to a colleague or friend?" According to NICE Satmetrix, leaders in customer interaction solutions, the average Net Promoter Score for Software & Apps organisations lies in the range of 28 which highlights IMEXHS’s strong results.

Software Updates during Q2

Good progress has been made during the quarter with new software releases in respect of the following:

Universal Viewer

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

DICOM Uploader & Downloader

Physicians and radiology department staff can upload the images stored on CDs to the Company’s Enterprise Imaging platform thanks to this latest product development providing patients and physicians with a more user-friendly experience.

Hanging Protocols v.1.0

The first version for hanging protocols was released during the June quarter. Hanging protocols aim to present specific types of studies consistently and reduce the number of manual image ordering adjustments performed by the radiologist.

Drag and Drop support

The Company’s Universal Viewer now supports Drag and Drop from thumbnails to viewer layout. This new feature will improve the user experience for physicians using AQUILA.

DICOM Gateway v.1.0

During Q2 FY21, IMEXHS released a new software component that operates as a simple Windows installer function on any computer as simple hardware structure. The objective of this new software component is to replace the DICOM router to avoid the use of hardware for the Aquila in the Cloud projects significantly improving implementation times.

Lung Segmentation Artificial Intelligence (AI) Algorithm

During the June quarter, the Company released its proprietary Lung Infection AI Algorithm which will help identify regions infected in the pulmonary parenchyma by using a Chest CT image. This new algorithm will allow radiologists to efficiently quantify the infection area within the lung by detecting symptoms such as ground-glass opacity (GCO) and consolidation.

Aquila in the Cloud

V3.5 of Aquila in the Cloud was released which included improvements in the user experience with the booking system allowing users to have a more holistic view of the operation when scheduling a patient. Administrative users will be able to see the schedules of multiple sites and diagnostic rooms immediately improving the efficiency of administrative tasks.

Additionally, a seamless integration with the DICOM Uploader & Downloader mentioned above is included in this version of the product.

Alula in the Cloud

During Q2 FY21, v3.0 of Alula in the Cloud was released which included a redefinition of the user interface (UI) of the workflow with the aim of improving the overall user experience (UX).

IMEXHS Portal 2.0

During the June quarter, the Company released v2.0 of its patient portal which includes more robust security features such as multi-factor authentication and further encrypted features strengthening the transition and storage of patient data.

Listing Rule 4.7C3

In Item 6 of the Appendix 4C cash flow report for the quarter, payments to Related Parties of approximately $508,000 comprises:

  • $99,000 of Director remuneration to executive and non-executive directors;

  • $384,000 for radiology services to RIMAB SAS, a related party of Dr German Arango;

  • $5,000 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 $1.3m for the provision of services by IMEXHS to RIMAB SAS.
