Key Highlights

Primary Offering:

RBRK anticipates issuing 23,000,000 shares (or 26,450,000 shares, assuming the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of Class A common stock is exercised in full), with expected net proceeds totaling approximately USD632.6 million (or approximately USD729.3 million if the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full), assuming an initial public offering price of USD29.50 per share, representing the midpoint of the estimated price range.

Use of proceeds:

KDLY anticipates receiving net proceeds from the offering of approximately USD6,154,999, after accounting for underwriting discounts, commissions, and estimated offering expenses, based on a per unit price of USD5.50. If the underwriters’ representative exercises the over-allotment option in full, the net proceeds would increase to approximately USD7,099,098. These funds are earmarked for various purposes, including capital expenditures, labor, real estate acquisition, marketing, sales, and technology development. Specifically, capital expenditures amounting to USD2,140,000 will facilitate the expansion of new clinic locations and potential acquisitions. Real estate acquisition, though not yet specified, is allotted USD500,000. Technology development, allocated USD1,000,000, aims to enhance data collection systems, refine data analysis, and bolster artificial intelligence capabilities. Additionally, a portion of the proceeds, USD584,999, will be used to repay amounts due under certain promissory notes. KDLY believes that these funds, combined with existing cash reserves and potential proceeds from warrant exercises, will sufficiently support operational expenses and capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, the final allocation of proceeds may be subject to management's discretion and dependent on various factors influencing business conditions. Any surplus proceeds not immediately utilized will be invested in short-term, interest-bearing instruments.

Dividend policy:

KDLY has abstained from distributing dividends throughout the three preceding fiscal years and currently holds no intentions to initiate dividend payments on its Common Stock. The company's current strategy entails retaining all earnings, if any, for reinvestment into its business operations. 

Financial Highlights (Results of Operations) (Expressed in USD)

  • Revenue and Net Loss Analysis: In the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, the Company recorded revenues of USD 3,768,598, representing a slight decrease from the previous year's figure of USD 3,787,077, with a decrease of USD 18,479, or 0.5%. This decrease can be primarily attributed to increased discounts offered on patient care services throughout 2023. However, the net loss per share showed significant improvement, decreasing by USD 1.20, or 76.9%, to USD (0.36) for the year ending December 31, 2023, from USD (1.56) for the corresponding period in 2022. This positive shift is chiefly due to enhancements in general and administrative expenses as well as personnel expenses during 2023. Management remains committed to capitalizing on these operational efficiencies to drive sales growth in the forthcoming fiscal years.
  • Liquidity and Capital Resources: As of December 31, 2023, the Company's total assets amounted to USD 1,099,202, marking a notable increase of USD 152,204, or 16.1%, compared to the prior year's total assets of USD 946,998. This growth primarily stems from an augmentation in cash and cash equivalents, albeit offset by decreases in property and equipment and right of use assets depreciation. Conversely, total liabilities as of December 31, 2023, stood at USD 1,207,614, reflecting an increase of USD 641,630, or 113.4%, from USD 565,984 recorded on December 31, 2022. The surge in liabilities is mainly attributed to the issuance of notes payable, an increase in derivative liability, and accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by the settlement of related party debt. Despite this, the Company asserts it possesses ample resources to sustain its operations without additional expansion, anticipating positive cash flows from operations to cover operating expenses for the subsequent twelve months following this filing. Additionally, the total stockholders' deficit as of December 31, 2023, amounted to USD (108,412), depicting a decrease of USD 489,426, or 128.5%, from the stockholders' equity of USD 381,014 recorded on December 31, 2022.
  • Cash Flow Analysis: During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the Company reported a net cash used in operating activities of USD 449,489, compared to USD 140,383 in the previous year. This change primarily resulted from a decrease in stock-based compensation, substantially offset by a decrease in net loss. Meanwhile, net cash used in investing activities decreased to USD 14,420 in 2023 from USD 317,388 in 2022, primarily due to increased utilization of existing resources. Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to USD 802,491 in 2023, up from USD 550,000 in 2022, mainly attributed to the financing of unsecured debt. Consequently, the Company's net cash increased by USD 338,582, or 181.1%, from USD 186,918 as of December 31, 2022, to USD 525,500 as of December 31, 2023.

Key Management Highlights

Risk Associated (High)

Investment in the IPO of “KDLY” is exposed to a variety of risks such as: 

Volatility in Revenue and Profitability: KDLY's business strategy may subject it to substantial fluctuations in revenues, losses, and earnings. As KDLY focuses on a limited number of business initiatives at a time, its success hinges on the market acceptance of these initiatives, potentially leading to variable profitability. Economic conditions and market dynamics may further impact KDLY's revenues and profitability, posing additional risks to its financial performance. Moreover, KDLY's ability to generate positive cash flow and sustain profitability may be influenced by changes in the market for its products and services, as well as general economic risks that could affect its operational results and financial stability.

Risk of Insufficient Capital and Going Concern Uncertainty: There is a risk that KDLY may not secure adequate capital to sustain its operations and pursue business development activities. While KDLY plans to raise additional capital through the sale of Common Stock, there is no guarantee of success in these endeavors. The anticipated nature of KDLY's services makes it challenging to accurately forecast revenues and operating results, which may fluctuate due to various factors such as capital availability, sourcing strong opportunities, managing liquidity requirements, and competition. Additionally, KDLY's ability to attract and retain qualified personnel is crucial for its success, and any limitations in this regard could adversely affect its operations. The lack of available and cost-effective directors and officer's insurance coverage further compounds these risks, potentially impeding KDLY's ability to attract and retain talented executives and hinder its business development efforts.

Conclusion

KDLY, a Utah-based company established in 2019, specializes in healthcare data, focusing on holistic pain management and combating the opioid epidemic through integrated healthcare services. The company plans to issue 23,000,000 shares in its IPO, expecting net proceeds of approximately USD 632.6 million for various purposes, including capital expenditures and technology development. Despite a slight decrease in revenue in fiscal year 2023, attributed to discounts on patient care services, KDLY saw a significant improvement in net loss per share, indicating operational efficiencies. Additionally, KDLY's commitment to addressing the opioid crisis and its comprehensive data collection efforts underscore its long-term dedication to innovation and patient care. The company's strategic allocation of funds for technology development reflects its forward-thinking approach to improving healthcare outcomes and staying ahead in a rapidly evolving industry. However, investing in KDLY's IPO entails risks, including the impact of revenue volatility, insufficient capital, and talent retention challenges due to the lack of insurance coverage. 

Hence, given the financial performance of the company, use of proceeds, and associated risks “Kindly MD, Inc. (KDLY)” IPO seems “Neutral" at the IPO price.
