All financial information is presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.
Dr. Essam Hamza, CEO of CloudMD commented, “We are excited to share our record Q1 2021 financial results that continue to improve quarter over quarter. Q1 was a transformative period for CloudMD, as we closed 5 acquisitions, adding $13 million in annualized revenue and establishing the foundation for our Enterprise Health Solutions division. I am very proud of the strategic roadmap we have built and the team’s ability to execute on our growth strategy. We identified key acquisition targets that were synergistic to our overall vision and we remain focused on building a complete healthcare ecosystem, providing connected, holistic care. We continue to integrate all of our capabilities into one comprehensive platform, which is the foundation for scale and expansion. Within our Enterprise Health Solutions division, we have already seen significant early adoption and through cross-selling opportunities, attained over $5 million in new multi-year contracts in the first quarter. Equally exciting is that CloudMD already has a revenue run rate of over $120 million, and through highly profitable acquisitions coupled with organic growth and realization of cost synergies, we expect to be profitable in the second half of 2021.”
First Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights
- Q1 2021 revenue was $8.8 million, compared to $5.8 million in Q4 2020 and $3.1 million in Q1 2020. The increase is primarily attributable to acquisition growth with 5 acquisitions completed in the quarter, and 11 acquisitions completed in the last twelve months. Excluding the impact of Q1 business acquisitions, the Company achieved organic growth from its existing businesses.
- Q1 2021 gross margin was 41%, compared to 40% in Q4 2020 and 37% in Q1 2020. The increase is primarily attributable to revenue mix where higher margin revenues from Enterprise Health Solutions (“EHS”) and Digital Services made up a stronger percentage of overall revenues.
- Net comprehensive loss attributable to equity holders of the Company in Q1 2021 was $5.3 million or $0.03 per share, compared to $5.2 million or $0.04 per share in Q4 2020 and $1.6 million or $0.02 per share in Q1 2020. In the quarter, the Company completed numerous strategic initiatives, including the completion of 5 acquisitions in the quarter and raising $58.2 million in gross proceeds from a bought deal short form prospectus offering, which the Company expects will contribute to strong future growth of the Company.
- Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) was a loss of $1.5 million in Q1 2021, compared to a loss of $1.5 million in Q4 2020 and a loss of $0.8 million in Q1 2020. The Adjusted EBITDA calculation adjusts for share-based compensation, costs related to financing, acquisitions, integration, litigation including associated loss provisions, and change in fair value of contingent consideration. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to evaluate the Company’s cash operating performance, and a complete definition and calculation are provided further below.
- Cash and cash equivalents were $99.2 million as at March 31, 2021, compared to $59.7 million at December 31, 2020. In Q1 2021, the Company raised gross proceeds of $58.2 million in a bought deal short form prospectus offering in March 2021 and the Company’s current cash balance is approximately $95 million.
First Quarter & Subsequent Highlights
- During January 2021, the Company closed the previously announced acquisitions of HumanaCare, Medical Confidence and Canadian Medical Directory, strengthening the Company’s EHS division by adding a leading Employee Assistance Program and healthcare navigation platform.
- On February 8, 2021 the Company closed the acquisition of 51% of West Mississauga Medical Clinic, expanding the Company’s hybrid clinic footprint in Ontario.
- On February 16, 2021, the Company announced that it signed a binding term sheet to acquire VisionPros, a rapidly growing digital eyecare platform with a robust suite of digital vision care tools.
- In March 2021, the Company closed the short form prospectus offering, on a bought deal basis, including the full over-allotment option for total gross proceeds of $58.2 million.
- On March 18, 2021, the Company provided an update on the rapid growth of its Enterprise Health Solutions division, realizing over $5 million in new multi-year contracts since the beginning of 2021.
- On March 23, 2021, the Company announced that it closed the acquisition of IDYA4, the technology platform used to integrate all of our healthcare solutions, providing a fully automated, seamless patient experience.
- On April 6, 2021, the Company announced that it closed the acquisition of Aspiria, adding another leading Employee and Student-focused assistance program to the Company’s EHS division.
- On April 8, 2021, the Company announced that it entered into a binding term sheet to acquire Oncidium, creating one of the largest providers to the employer market in Canada.
- On May 12, 2021, the Company announced that it closed the acquisition of Rxi, a proprietary specialty drug management and patient support platform.
Outlook
The Company is focused on revolutionizing the healthcare industry by leveraging technology to digitalize its delivery in providing more efficient access to care and achieving better health outcomes. CloudMD is integrating its health technology solutions to build one, connected healthcare ecosystem that addresses all points of a patient’s care from one platform. The Company remains on track to launch a fully automated, connected solution later in 2021. This connected platform is the foundation for scale and growth and the Company will continue expanding its footprint across North America and strategically in Europe.
CloudMD’s current revenue run rate is over $120 million which does not take into consideration any expected organic growth or cross-selling synergies. CloudMD expects to see continued organic growth across all divisions of its business largely due to the integration of its health technology solutions and cross-selling synergies in the EHS division.
The Company has a strong cash position with approximately $95 million on hand, and approximately $35 million remaining after the closing of the acquisitions of VisionPros and Oncidium, which both are expected to close in June 2021. With a strong balance sheet, CloudMD is able to seek debt financing options to conserve cash and equity. The Company is on track to be profitable and expects to be Adjusted EBITDA-positive in the second half of 2021.
CloudMD will continue to focus on delivering meaningful shareholder value by executing on its growth strategy through accretive, synergistic acquisitions, achieving organic growth across all divisions, and the full integration of its healthcare solutions to provide one, connected platform that addresses all points of care for patients.

XTEND and its XOS operating system are unlocking the potential of robots and drones by empowering them with AI and partnering them with humans – providing them with the ‘common sense’ to navigate the unpredictable nature of real-world situations
TEL AVIV, Israel, May 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — XTEND, the developer of XOS, an AI-driven operating system that is revolutionizing the way humans interact with drones and robots, today announced its $40M Series B round, led by Chartered Group, with further participation from its existing and new strategic investors, including Clal-Tech. The new funding will further develop XTEND’s proprietary XOS operating system and its application in various time-consuming, dangerous enterprise and security scenarios worldwide. XTEND will also ramp up global sales of its own drones and robotics products.
XTEND provides a revolutionary human-supervised, AI-driven drone and robot operating system that enables operators to perform highly complex and dynamic missions in any environment with minimal training. When drones and robots are controlled by XTEND’s patented XOS operating system – which fuses the best of human intelligence and machine autonomy – it provides a new way for logistics, public safety, inspection, defense, and security professionals to interact with machines effectively from a safe distance.
XTEND’s team believes that as the use of drones and robots become more prevalent, professional human oversight remains crucial, and therefore developing a seamless collaboration between humans and AI, where each play to their strengths for optimal results, is vital. Aviv Shapira, co-founder, and CEO, explains: “Robots and drones promise to transform everything from factories to our homes. However, a significant hurdle remains – equipping them with the common-sense abilities to deal with the unpredictable nature of real-world situations, understand their surroundings, and make decisions based on that information. XOS uses AI to enable robots to learn from data and experience. Training them to identify objects, navigate complex environments, and interact with humans safely. We are unlocking the true potential of robotics in complex scenarios, including first response, search and rescue, logistics, critical infrastructure inspection, defense, and security.”
“Our XOS operating system is based on “Practical Human Supervised Autonomy” which empowers drones and robots to handle specific tasks autonomously – entering buildings, scanning floors, or even pursuing suspects. However, crucially, it allows the “common sense” decisions – like judging situations or adapting to unforeseen circumstances – to remain in the hands of human supervisors. This human-machine teaming allows our robots to work alongside supervisors, who can manage dozens of robots simultaneously, and learn from that experience. That is why we believe that XOS will become the operating system of choice for anyone looking to maximize their robotic systems’ potential while decreasing the risks posed to their teams’ lives or concerns around lack of human oversight.”
Hundreds of XTEND’s drone and robotics systems are already operationally deployed worldwide, and the company is continuously developing its XOS operating system and those platforms to deliver the future of human-machine teaming. XOS is hardware agnostic, which allows it to control all sorts of platforms, including third party devices, complement existing technology, or create entirely new systems from scratch. XOS’s open architecture means that it can host applications developed by other companies, too.
Matteo Shapira, co-founder, and CXO, adds: “Unlike self-driving cars, which operate in a world with mostly known rules and scenarios, XTEND specializes in enabling operations in “hypervariable” environments. Take a last-mile delivery robot. It can navigate autonomously indoors and outdoors but might need human help finding an office building entrance or understanding floor layouts to reach the elevator or stairway. These environments present limitless situations with the potential for the unexpected, requiring human-level decision-making skills specific to each profession. XTEND’s core technology, XOS, is built around this human-machine partnership. We are continually adding new “AI SKILLS” to our system, and those skills will allow robots to handle a growing portion of missions and tasks, freeing up human supervisors to manage more missions simultaneously, at scale.”
Eyal Agmoni, Founder and Chairman of Chartered Group, said: “We believe that the companies bringing the value of AI to massive and complex industries, such as robotics and drone operations, will be the tech giants of the 21st century. Having observed XTEND’s remarkable achievements thus far, we truly believe in the company’s potential to become the world leader in robotics and drone operations, and AI.”
XOS has been developed for multiple markets, including logistics, public safety, inspection, and security. The U.S. Department of Defense Special Forces and Israel’s Ministry of Defense tier-1 units have also chosen XTEND for multiple multi-million-dollar programs to develop and deliver its systems for operational evaluation, so the company’s technology is already being used by some of the best in the business.
About XTENDXTEND provides revolutionary human-guided autonomous machine systems that enable any operator to perform extremely accurate manoeuvres and actions, in any environment with minimal training. The company’s patented XOS operating system fuses the best of human intelligence and machine autonomy to enhance the operator’s abilities, and simultaneously reduce the need for physical confrontation, thereby minimizing casualties and injuries. Hundreds of XTEND’s systems are already operationally deployed worldwide, and the company is continuously developing its XOS operating system and platforms to deliver the future of human-machine teaming to defense, HLS, and security professionals worldwide. Find out more here.
https://vimeo.com/802995851/2554c5485a – this footage shows XTEND’s team using drones and our XOS operating system to help with the recent rescue effort in Turkey. XOS enabled these drones to be operated in unsafe, confined, hard to reach spaces. Utilising additional cutting-edge technology, including robotic arms and thermal cameras, to enhance each drone’s rescue capacity. While this mission was carried out by XTEND’s own team, XOS enables anyone to easily connect and interact within remote environments using drones and other smart machines, without the need for prior knowledge or training.

BURLINGTON, Mass., May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Precisely, the global leader in data integrity, today announced further expansions in the global coverage and capabilities of its data enrichment and geo addressing portfolio. New additions to the Address Fabric and Property Attributes products underscore the company’s continued commitment to helping customers easily unlock greater location-based context from their data, enabled by its unique and persistent identifier, the PreciselyID.
Virtually every business worldwide captures and stores address information, with the average large business in the United States now estimated to store over 100 million unique addresses. However, navigating the inherent data integrity challenges is notoriously difficult, as it involves new buildings, changing street names, different country formats, and more.
Expanded Address Fabric Reach
Precisely customers can now access the Address Fabric dataset for Great Britain, France, and New Zealand – providing the most current and comprehensive lists of all known physical addresses across these countries. The new datasets expand Precisely’s existing coverage for the United States, Canada, and Australia.

Customers can analyze address locations for various applications, including identifying new serviceable addresses, discovering new customers through look-a-like analysis, or selecting a site for new stores or network expansion opportunities.
Comprehensive Property Attributes Information
Precisely also announced the expansion of its Property Attributes products for the United States with 26 new attributes now available via integration with Multiple Listing Service (MLS) data. The MLS database of property listings is used by real estate agents to share information about homes currently on the market, including whether a property is affiliated with a Homeowner’s Association or if it’s considered a rental property.
With the latest updates, Property Attributes products now include over 230 different property information attributes across virtually every county located in the United States, providing a highly comprehensive view of a property and its key characteristics, such as details on land use, square footage, construction materials, and year built.
Address Fabric and Property Attributes leverage best-in-class geo addressing solutions from Precisely to provide the most accurate location information possible.

The data center market in Australia has been witnessing significant growth in investments over the past few years. It is expected to grow at an absolute growth rate of around 20% between 2023-2029. Australia is among the top destinations for data center investments in the APAC region.
Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth are the primary data center hubs hosting most data centers in the country. Canberra, Brisbane, Darwin, and other cities are among the emerging locations in Australia with abundant land availability for data center development.
Investment Opportunities
In November 2023, OVHcloud announced the launch of its upcoming SYD3 Sydney data center facility, which is expected to be operational in 2024.In November of 2023, Rest Super invested about $656 million in a data center in Brisbane, which Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners are developing.In November 2023, NEXTDC announced the development of the D1 data center facility in Darwin; the facility is expected to go operational by Q2 2024.AirTrunk announced the expansion of its SYD2 data center campus in Sydney; once fully built, the facility will account for an additional power capacity of around 30 MW, making it an aggregate capacity of around 120 MW. This second phase is expected to be completed in 2024. AirTrunk’s upcoming SYD3 Sydney facility calls for an aggregate investment of about $670 million.In an August 2023 news article, Macquarie Data Centres revealed its plan to expand its upcoming IC3 Super West facility in Sydney regarding power capacity. As per January 2024 news article, Macquarie Data Centres has received approval to build/grow the IC3 Super West, its third facility in Sydney.In August 2023, STACK Infrastructure announced the MEL01 A data center launch in Melbourne, located at 399 Palmers Road. The entire campus will have a power capacity of around 72 MW, divided equally between buildings A and B. As of early 2024, Building B is still a work in progress. Furthermore, the company plans new facilities in Canberra, Hume, and Perth.Rising Procurement of Renewable Energy in Australia Boosting the Market Opportunities
In 2022, according to IRENA, solar energy accounted for around 61% of Australia’s overall renewable energy capacity, followed by wind, hydro, and bioenergy (in decreasing order), from which renewable power is extracted for all the sustainable energy needs of the country. Australia aims to achieve its target of zero carbon emissions by 2050. The country announced plans to reach almost 43% less emission than in 2005.
According to the Australia National Electricity Market (NEM), the renewable energy share in the country is expected to reach around 41% by 2030. By 2025, Australia aims to achieve 100% instantaneous renewable energy for its main grid, starting with a half-hour period and gradually increasing to cover hours and days. This transition will be facilitated by an increase in wind, solar, and energy storage solutions to meet the country’s new target of 82% renewables by 2030. The retirement of coal-based power generation facilities in the coming years will contribute to this goal.
Microsoft in Australia Recent Development During 2022-2024:
