Salona Global Announces Large International Order from Polish Distributor Expected to be
Delivered in the Current Quarter; Increases Year-over-Year Revenues 157% For the Polish
Market
NEW YORK, NEW YORK - October 25, 2023 - Salona Global Medical Device Corporation (the "Company") (TSXV:SGMD) today announced it has booked a $837,000 order for its Biodex System Pro4™ and Biodex System 4 MVP™ Isokinetic dynamometer machines from its international distributor in Poland which represents an increase of 157% in revenues over 2022 for that market.
This order follows the Company's recent announcement that it expects to report, based on preliminary results, positive Adjusted EBITDA (defined below) and net income for its third quarter ending September 30, 2023 and represents continued improvement for the Company in the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2023.
The new management team has made international sales a part of its focus to drive organic growth leveraging the Biodex brand name and unique technology offering around isokinetic dynamometers.
The Biodex System 4 machine has established itself as the dominant player in the isokinetic physical therapy market, having been utilized in over 2,000 research trials1. The Biodex System 4 is known for its unmatched performance, accuracy, and safety, making it highly reliable for both clinicians and researchers due to its excellent correlation coefficients in terms of reliability, accuracy, validity, and repeatability2,3,4. It is the leading product among universities, hospitals, and researchers worldwide, surpassing all other isokinetic machines in terms of adoption and usage.
The Company recently announced a reformulated business plan along with its intention to change its name to "Evome Medical Technologies Inc.". The plan is straight forward and solves the biggest needs in the recovery science market: Next generation solutions for physical therapy and chiropractic clinic customers using (1) connectivity, (2) portability, and (3) artificial intelligence (AI) to increase the amount of patients a physical therapist can treat in a given hour - improving profitability, patient care and therapist morale.
The solutions include both products, such as Biodex and Mio-Guard currently in the portfolio, as well as a new focus on services, all designed to improve the business performance for physical therapy clinics, chiropractic businesses and athletic departments globally.
The new management team plans to debut the new line of next generation products and services in the coming weeks culminating with a new investor website and presentation for investor meetings targeted to launch November 16, 2023 in the U.S. and Canada.
"I am pleased to see our efforts to drive international sales are paying off in a big way this quarter," said CEO Mike Seckler. "This order will go a long way towards an improved fourth quarter to add to the already announced expectation of a profitable third quarter in the books. Our focus will soon turn to 2024 and releasing our next generation products and services in the coming weeks."
Full financial results from the third quarter ending September 30, 2023 will be filed with regulators on or before November 14, 2023.

Non-GAAP Measures
This press release refers to "Adjusted EBITDA" which is a non-GAAP and non-IFRS financial measure that does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP or IFRS. The Company's presentation of this financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. This non-GAAP financial measure assists the Company's management in comparing its operating performance over time because certain items may obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult, as they are of a nature and/or size that occur with inconsistent frequency or relate to discrete acquisition plans that are fundamentally different from the ongoing operating plans of the Company. The Company's management also believes that presenting this measure allows investors to view the Company's performance using the same measures that the Company uses in evaluating its financial and business performance and trends.
"Adjusted EBITDA" is defined as net loss excluding interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of right-of-use asset, amortization of intangible asset, foreign exchange (loss) gain, other income, provision for impairment, change in fair value of contingent consideration, transaction costs, and stock-based compensation.
Preliminary Financial Metrics
This press release contains certain pre-released third quarter financial metrics. The third quarter financial metrics contained in this press release are preliminary and represent the most current information available to the Company's management, as financial closing procedures for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023 are not yet complete. The Company's actual consolidated audited financial statements for such period may result in material changes to the financial metrics summarized in this press release (including by any one financial metric, or all of the financial metrics, being below or above the figures indicated) as a result of the completion of normal quarter and year end accounting procedures and adjustments, and also what one might expect to be in the final consolidated financial statements based on the financial metrics summarized in this press release. Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in this press release are based upon reasonable assumptions, the Company can give no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from these expectations.
