TORONTO, Nov. 10 /CNW/ - AIM Health Group Inc. ("AIM" or the "Company")
(TSXV - AHG), a fully integrated health care company, announced today
that its EBITDA(1) increased 23% to $1,121,184 for the three month period ended September
30, 2010 from $910,733 in the same period in 2009. Net income for the
three month period was $599,884 compared to $633,198 in the same period
in 2009. Net income did not keep pace with the increase in EBITDA
because of increased non-cash accretion expenses and a one-time
adjustment to amortization in 2009, causing an unusually low charge for
the three month period ended September 30, 2009. The Company also
announced that revenues increased to $14,708,397 from $13,143,520 for
the same period in 2009.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, EBITDA increased 17% to
$2,804,148 compared to $2,389,875 in the same period in 2009. Net
income was $1,261,260 compared to $1,270,678 for the same period in
2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, revenues increased
to $43,627,273 from $40,419,407, on a year-over-year basis.
Lu Barbuto, President and Chief Executive Officer of AIM commented,
"During the third quarter we continued to build our clinical
infrastructure, adding 43 partner clinics to our network. These new
sites were instrumental to the successful launch of our new contract
with a department of the Government of Canada. We have also taken a
leadership role with respect to the important work initiated by the
Ministry of Health and Long-term Care of Ontario, to set and monitor
quality standards for out-of-hospital clinical settings. We continue to
look for new and innovative ways to attract and retain healthcare
providers, who are the backbone of our Company. We remain committed to
working with our partners at all levels of government to ensure that
Canadians receive the highest level of healthcare available."
