Announced Merger Agreement with NAYA Biosciences
Fla., Nov. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - INVO Bioscience, Inc. (Nasdaq: INVO) ("INVO" or the "Company"), a healthcare
services fertility company focused on expanding access to advanced treatment worldwide with its INVOcell medical device and the
intravaginal culture ("IVC") procedure it enables, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September
30, 2023 and provided a business update.
2023 Financial Highlights (all metrics compared to Q3 2022 unless otherwise noted)
| Revenues of $974,894 increased 314% compared to $235,321. | ||
| Q3 2023 included only a partial quarter contribution from the recently acquired Wisconsin Fertility Institute (WFI). Pro forma revenue for Q3 2023, assuming a full quarter of WFI, would have been approximately $1.5 million. | ||
| Adjusted EBITDA was $(0.6) million compared to $(2.0) million. Pro forma adjusted EBITDA, assuming a full quarter contribution from WFI, would have been $(0.3) million and the Company is on a progression towards positive earnings and operating cashflows. | ||
| Clinic revenue increased 437% to $947,891, compared to $176,395. All reported clinic revenue is derived from the Company's INVO Centers in Atlanta, Georgia, and WFI (partial quarter) which are consolidated in the Company's financial statements. | ||
| Revenue from all clinics, inclusive of both those accounted for as consolidated and under the equity method, was $1,352,881, an increase of 169% compared to $502,993. | ||
| Total operating costs were approximately $1.9 million, a $0.9 million decrease compared to $2.8 million. | ||
| Net loss was $(1.2) million compared to $(2.5) million. Pro forma net loss, assuming a full quarter contribution from WFI, would have been $(1.0) million. | ||
| Exclusive of corporate overhead, the clinics generated positive net income in the period. |
Operational and Strategic Highlights
| On August 10, 2023, INVO acquired WFI, a profitable Madison-based fertility center. | ||
| Implemented certain corporate expense reductions as part of go-forward plan to focus on its healthcare service strategy and a near-term path to profitability. | ||
| On October 23, 2023, INVO and NAYA Biosciences Inc., a company dedicated to increasing patient access to breakthrough treatments in oncology and regenerative medicine, jointly announced that they had entered into a definitive merger agreement for INVO to acquire NAYA Biosciences, Inc. ("NAYA") in an all-stock transaction. |
results of the quarter highlight the transformation of INVO into a growing, innovative healthcare services company leveraging our INVO
Centers to drive IVC volume and obtain a greater share of the total fertility cycle revenue," commented Steve Shum, CEO of INVO.
"When you look at the pro forma results for the quarter inclusive of a full quarter contribution from WFI our adjusted EBITDA would
have been $(0.3) million, a significant improvement compared to ($2.0) million in the year ago quarter. Equally notable was the fact
that our clinics, exclusive of our corporate costs, generated positive net income in the period. With the potential for continued growth
from our family of INVO Centers, and more rationalized corporate operating expenses, achieving our stated goal of profitability in 2024
becomes increasingly visible. We look forward to maintaining our focus on driving growth and efficiencies in the business moving forward."
October 23, 2023, INVO and NAYA, a company dedicated to increasing patient access to breakthrough
treatments in oncology and regenerative medicine, jointly announced that they had entered into a definitive merger agreement (the "Merger")
for INVO to acquire NAYA Biosciences in an all-stock transaction. Under the terms of the agreement, NAYA Biosciences' shareholders
will receive 7.3333 shares of INVO for each share of NAYA Biosciences at closing, for a total of approximately 18,150,000 shares of INVO.
Following the closing of the Merger, the combined company is expected to operate under the name "NAYA Biosciences".
described in greater detail in the Company's SEC filings and press releases, the Merger remains subject to certain closing conditions
including shareholder approval, an estimated $5 million or more (at NAYA's discretion) in interim private financing in INVO at
a premium of INVO's market price at time of financing ("Interim PIPE"), and a private offering by the combined company
at a target price of $5.00 per common share of INVO. At this time, there are no further updates on the satisfaction of the closing conditions.
are excited by the opportunity to merge INVO and NAYA and having the financial resources to advance both the fertility and newly acquired
oncology operations," commented Shum. "We believe this combination provides the benefit of bringing our existing, revenue-generating
operations from our fertility business with an ability to further grow these activities, along with the significant upside potential
of innovative cancer therapeutics."
partial quarter results from WFI, which INVO acquired on August 10, 2023, are included in the results for the
three months ended September 30, 2023. Where applicable, pro forma results are provided as if the acquisition closed on July 1, 2023
and therefore would have been included for the entire quarter.

of 314%. Pro forma revenue for Q3 2023, assuming a full quarter of WFI, would have been $1,492,520, an increase of 534%.
revenue from the Company's consolidated INVO Centers was $947,891 during the third quarter of 2023, an increase of 437% compared

compared to the year-ago period.
general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023, were approximately $1.3 million compared to approximately
$2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease of approximately $1.0 million, or approximately 46%, was primarily
the result of approximately $1.1 million in decreased personnel expenses and approximately $0.2 million in decreased marketing expenses,
and was partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in professional fees and a $0.1 million increase in operational expenses related
expenses were approximately $0.0 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and September 30, 2022, respectively.
The decrease is a result of the Company receiving FDA clearance in June 2023 for its 510(k) application.
operating costs were $1.9 million and $2. 8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and September 30, 2022, respectively.

net loss, assuming a full quarter contribution from WFI, would have been approximately $(1.0) million.
EBITDA (see Adjusted EBITDA Table) for the three months ended September 30, 2023, was $(0.6) million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of
$(2.0) million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. Pro forma adjusted EBITDA, assuming a full quarter contribution from WFI, would
have been approximately $(0.3) million.
of September 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $1.1 million in cash.
EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. This measure is not intended to be a substitute for those financial measures reported in accordance with
GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has been included because management believes that, when considered together with the GAAP figures, it provides
meaningful information related to our operating performance and liquidity and can enhance an overall understanding of financial results
and trends. Adjusted EBITDA may be calculated by us differently than other companies that disclose measures with the same or similar
terms. See our attached financials for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the nearest GAAP measure.

2023, and following the progress of certain closing conditions pertaining to the Merger.
are a healthcare services fertility company dedicated to expanding the assisted reproductive technology ("ART") marketplace
by making fertility care accessible and inclusive to people around the world. Our commercialization strategy is focused on the opening
of dedicated "INVO Centers" offering the INVOcell and IVC procedure (with three centers in North America now operational),
the acquisition of US-based, profitable in vitro fertilization ("IVF") clinics and the sale and distribution of our technology
solution into existing fertility clinics. Our proprietary technology, INVOcell , is a revolutionary medical device that allows fertilization
and early embryo development to take place in vivo within the woman's body. This treatment solution is the world's first
intravaginal culture technique for the incubation of oocytes and sperm during fertilization and early embryo development. This technique,
designated as "IVC", provides patients a more natural, intimate, and more affordable experience in comparison to other ART
treatments. We believe the IVC procedure can deliver comparable results at a fraction of the cost of traditional IVF and is a significantly
more effective treatment than intrauterine insemination ("IUI"). For more information, please visit www.invobio.com.
