Trading Update
Kooth, a global leader in youth digital mental well-being, announces a trading update for the financial year ended 31 December 2023.
2023 revenues are expected to be approximately GBP33.3 million, a year-on-year increase of c.65%. This strong growth excludes c.$4 million of revenue billed in 2023 relating to revenues received from US contracts, which had been expected to be recognised in 2023, but will now be paid and recognised in early 2024.
The Group has a robust balance sheet and positive operating cashflow. As at 31 December 2023 the Group had an unaudited net cash balance of GBP10.9 million (2022: GBP8.5m), and has recently entered into a working capital credit facility with Citibank of $9.5 million that remains undrawn at this time.
Kooth successfully launched its digital mental health platform and mobile app, Soluna, in California in January 2024 and is finalising discussions with the State of Pennsylvania regarding an extension of its current service contract, which began as a pilot programme in October 2022.
For the UK market we saw revenue growth for 2023, but as previously reported, we expect headwinds to remain in the near term, reflecting a focus on NHS cost saving and the ongoing acute care backlog. We remain focused on demonstrating the impact and savings that Kooth generates when commissioned in a region.
We will provide a further update on progress at the Group's Full Year Results which are expected to be announced in March 2024.
Tim Barker, Chief Executive Officer of Kooth, said:
"2023 was a year of significant progress for Kooth, underlined by our largest contract win with the State of California. Alongside our work in Pennsylvania, Kooth is now a leader in the important US digital mental health market and a provider of choice for the provision of services to children and young people. This momentum, combined with our strong financial performance and our ability to generate recurring revenue, leaves us well placed for further progress in 2024. The need for digital mental health services is as great as ever and we look forward to ensuring that Kooth remains a trusted and growing provider for children and young people both in the US and UK."
