Here we go again. Another week goes by and another healthcare company announces its intentions to list on the TSX Index. This time, it is MCI OneHealth Technologies, "one of the largest primary care clinic groups" in Canada which filed its preliminary prospectus.
Although the company offers virtual services and recently launched its MCI Connect virtual platform - this is still very much a clinic stock which has been in operation for 30 years. The company aims to raise $30M through the issuance of shares at a price between $5.00 and $6.76 per share.
OneHealth currently has 25 clinics (20 in Ontario, 5 in Alberta) with approximately 280 health professionals and 40 technical staff and provides approximately 850,000 consultations annually.
Despite it being a primary clinic company, it is investing heavily in technology and has shared the road map below. It is unclear if, the Bright OS data analytics, the MCI Virtual Connect (telehealth) and the OneHealth Assistant (chat bot)platforms are proprietary or built on third party platforms. Regardless, tech is at the center of its strategy moving forward. Worth noting, the company intends to use the proceeds from this IPO to execute on its tech strategy. Virtual Connect is currently rolling out and BrightOS and OneHealth Assistant are expected to launch in 2021.
Over the next couple of years, growth is expected to be driven by the above tech products, expanded private healthcare services (e.g., occupational health for corporations) and acquisitions.
What stands out here more than others - is the large focus on data analytics and healthcare data. It sees customers of aggregated data as being drug manufactures, clinic networks, research institute, public health units and more.
At this point - MCE OneHealth hasn't been a high growth story. It has grown sales from $43.5M in 2017 to $46.3M in 2019 (2% annually) and through the first nine months of the year, the company generated $27.59M in revenue down from $34.3M in the same period of 2019. This is not surprising if one considers that it generates most of its revenue from clinics which were all but shut down in the early stages of the pandemic. Walk-in visits are down 40% this year. Likewise, the company is still in the very early stages of its focus on technology which has to materially contribute to the top or bottom lines.
On the bright side, it is profitable and generates stable EBITD margins in the 8% range - which is what makes clinics an attractive business model - stable and reliable cash flows.
Once again, we don't have enough information to speak to valuation but will get a better idea once the company prices its offering. Oncea gain, we strongly encourage anyone interested in this company to have a look at its prospectus so you can better understand its business model.
