LED Medical Diagnostics Inc. Reports 2018 Second Quarter Results


Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - LED Medical Diagnostics Inc. ("LED" or the "Company"), a leading dental imaging technology provider focused on delivering state-of-the-art imaging software and systems, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018, reported in United States dollars and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The Company’s results are presented in comparison to the first quarter ended March 31, 2018 and second quarter ended June 30, 2017.

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $3,671,432 representing an increase of 10% over the immediately preceding quarter. The Company achieved EBITDA1 of $100,433 during the second quarter of fiscal year 2018 compared to $26,296 in the immediately preceding quarter.

“We are experiencing increasingly stronger financial performance since the Apteryx acquisition in early 2017 and anticipate this trend will continue into the future,” commented LED CEO Dr. David Gane. “Approximately 19% of our total revenues are now recurring or repeatable in nature inclusive of over US$1.5 million in annualized monthly recurring revenue (“MRR”) from our XVWeb® SaaS offering. This number is expected to grow as we execute on our plan,” added Dr. Gane. “XVWeb® is near the leading edge of market adoption which I expect will be facilitated by current market trends, including the expanding market presence of Dental Support Organizations (“DSOs”), and growth in the number of cloud practice management offerings in the US market with which to partner and gain wider market access.”
