Trading update

Full year results set to exceed already upgraded expectations

Pipeline of at home wellness tests set to launch in H1 2022

MyHealthChecked Plc (AIM: MHC), the consumer home-testing healthcare company, provides an update on trading for the year ended 31 December 2021 and outlook for H1 2022. The financial information is based on unaudited management accounts.

Further to the announcement on 13 December 2021 , MyHealthChecked can confirm that it continued to experience strong trading throughout Q4 due to the increased demand for reinstated Day-2 PCR test kits as well as the launch of its rapid antigen test and verification service for inbound and outbound travellers. Further to this , the Board is now confident that the full year trading performance will be higher than previous guidance with revenues expected of around GBP16.3m (FY 2020: GBP49.5k), with an adjusted EBITDA profit of at least GBP2.5m (FY 2020: GBP2.7m loss). The business will be cash generative for the year and the Board expects cash balances to be at least GBP6.3m at the end of the year (31 Dec 2020: GBP0.47m) , reflecting good working capital management and stronger than expected cash conversion in the final quarter.

The Company has worked hard in 2021 to address the opportunities that COVID has presented and has had to be extremely responsive in an unpredictable testing market, which has required an adaptable approach from the team across a number of commercial channels.

MyHealthChecked continues to build its relationships with major UK pharmacy retail names having quickly established a strong reputation for reliability as a commercial partner. Shortly, AAH Pharmaceuticals Limited ("Lloyds Pharmacy") is launching MyHealthChecked's rapid antigen test and verification service, accompanying the portfolio of PCR kits that the pharmacy began selling online in August.

The introduction of the verification service provided with MyHealthChecked's rapid antigen testing service has created an increased demand on the Company's operational resources but also provided opportunity for expansion. To support this, MyHealthChecked is actively recruiting for key operational, technical and digital roles as well and growing the Company's commercial team as it commercialises its at-home wellness testing products in 2022.

MyHealthChecked is firmly focused on re-investing earnings generated in 2021 into its new product pipeline of at-home wellness tests . The Company is working on a pipeline of products and is on track to launch five new at-home wellness tests in H1 2022, focussing on the areas of weight management, vitamin deficiency, food intolerances, heart health and blood glucose, whilst continuing to provide COVID testing services to its key partners.

Penny McCormick, Chief Executive Officer of MyHealthChecked Plc, said: "I am extremely proud of the hard work and adaptability of the MyHealthChecked team in 2021, which has enabled us to succeed in a highly competitive retail market and deliver to the pharmacy leaders. We believe that the strong commercial relationships that have been established in 2021 and include both of the UK's top pharmacy retailers will provide a solid foundation as we look to commercialise a wider range of tests in H1 2022.

"We have worked to harness the opportunity that the COVID testing market has provided for us and the earnings generated have created significant growth in the business which we will continue to build upon in 2022. While there is still market uncertainty about the future of COVID testing, we are set to reinvest our earnings into the delivery of our growing product pipeline in 2022, and I look forward to providing future updates to investors."
