REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Feb 11, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Biotricity Inc. (OTCQB:BTCY), (“Biotricity” or the “Company”), a medical diagnostic and consumer healthcare technology company, is pleased to provide unaudited, preliminary financial results for its fiscal 2021 third quarter, which ended December 31, 2020. Full financial results will be posted on EDGAR on February 16, 2021. Biotricity’s Q3 results continued a trend of both sequential and year over year revenue growth, with revenue setting a new quarterly record in the fiscal third quarter.
For fiscal Q3 2021, management is reporting the following highlights:
- Revenue of $1 million (USD) – a milestone for Company in its quarterly results
- Year-over-year quarterly revenue increased 162%
- Sequential quarter-over-quarter revenue increase 34.5%
“We achieved significant growth during a period of restricted travel due to Covid, so we are even more optimistic about our growth potential as the business environment unlocks,” stated Waqaas Al-Siddiq, CEO of Biotricity. “Our sequential quarterly growth really illustrates the importance of our technology and model, where we are enabling a cardiologist while improving patient care. Monthly sequential growth is a sure sign that our platform is on target, and we are on track to continue our strong sequential and year over year growth.”
“During the three months ended December 31, 2020, the Company experienced a gross margin of 49.2% compared to 43.6% in the preceding quarter,” said Biotricity’s CFO, John Ayanoglou. “This improvement is consistent with our prior forecast that the cost of devices sold and other technology associated fees will become a lower percentage of revenues as sales volumes expand. We had significant product development activity during the quarter, including an FDA filing, so our net loss of $0.11 per share was higher than the net loss of $0.085 cents per share in Q2.”
In the current quarter (fiscal Q4 2021) and for the remainder of calendar 2021, the Company is guiding to continued triple digit revenue growth on a year over year basis. With added resources from a convertible debt financing completed in January 2021, Biotricity is currently interviewing additional sales personnel as part of a planned geographic expansion into additional states. The Company filed a 510(K) seeking FDA approval for its new Biotres Holter product on December 31, 2020 and expects the review process to run approximately four months.
Dr. Waqaas Al-Siddiq added, “We are coming out of the gate at a full sprint in 2021, with sales force expansion and work underway on new products that will enable us to target a much larger segment of the cardiologist patient population. We spent years developing best-in-class technology coupled with a compelling technology as a service model. We are pleased with our results and look forward to further progress in upcoming quarters.”
