Ethema Health Reports Q1 2025 Results with Revenue Surge Following Kentucky Acquisition

Ethema Health Corporation released its Q1 2025 financial results after experiencing significant audit review delays, with the company expecting to complete reviews for Q2 and Q3 2025 within the next 30 to 45 days. The completion of these reviews will restore the company's trading status on the OTC-ID market, a crucial step for investor confidence and market accessibility.

The Q1 2025 results incorporated operations from the recently acquired Aria Kentucky facilities, contributing to substantial revenue growth from $1.300 million to $3.518 million. The Aria Kentucky operations generated $2.802 million of this total, while existing Florida operations showed a 10.5% increase to $1.437 million. This growth included revenue from the Boca Raton facility, which began operations after licensing delays were resolved. The company's expansion strategy appears to be yielding immediate financial benefits, though operational challenges remain.

Operating expenses increased significantly from $1.529 million to $4.165 million, primarily driven by personnel costs that rose from $0.727 million to $2.063 million. Approximately $1.178 million of personnel expenses related to the Aria Kentucky operations, while the remaining $0.885 million increase stemmed from Florida operations, including full staffing at the Boca Raton facility. Rental expenses also saw substantial growth from $0.265 million to $0.740 million, with $0.353 million attributable to Kentucky facilities and $0.122 million related to the Boca Raton location.

Despite revenue growth, the company reported an increased operating loss from $0.229 million to $0.647 million due to higher operating expenses. However, management expressed confidence that improved operational efficiencies and increased patient counts would lead to profitability in the near term. Notably, cash flow utilized in operations decreased from $0.106 million to $0.073 million, indicating better cash management despite the significant acquisition and facility launches.

Interest expense and debt discount expense increased from $0.156 million to $0.428 million, primarily due to interest-bearing assumed liabilities and debt funding used for the Aria Kentucky acquisition. The company plans to replace expensive debt in both Kentucky and Florida operations with equity and more favorable banking relationships.

CEO Shawn Leon reported that Florida facilities operated at near capacity in July, while Kentucky facilities reached maximum capacity in August. The company brought an additional Paducah, Kentucky facility online in August and expects to activate another dormant residential facility in Morehead, Kentucky in November. Construction is underway on the new ARIA Kentucky headquarters in Morehead, with completion expected in December 2025.

The integration of Kentucky operations has proceeded smoothly, according to company leadership. The Florida team achieved excellent results in a recent Joint Commission audit, while the Kentucky entity will undergo its first CARF accreditation audit at the end of October. These accreditation milestones are critical for maintaining quality standards and insurance reimbursements in the behavioral healthcare sector.

Looking forward, Ethema anticipates significant revenue increases of approximately 40% from Q1 to Q2 2025, followed by another 10% growth from Q2 to Q3. The company's expansion strategy focuses on optimizing both Florida and Kentucky assets while increasing patient counts across all facilities. The resolution of audit delays and restoration of trading status represent important steps toward stabilizing the company's financial reporting and market position in the competitive behavioral healthcare industry.
