Doctor Care Anywhere Group — Making progress towards profitability

Doctor Care Anywhere Group’s (DOC) Q122 results showed continuing revenue momentum from FY21, as well as a significant expansion in its gross margin as the costs of delivering consultations reverted to more normalised levels. Over the quarter, DOC significantly reduced its overheads and believes the platform’s operating leverage will allow it to scale and reach its goal of EBITDA run-rate profitability by H123.

Sustained positive momentum

In Q122, DOC achieved underlying revenue growth of 95% y-o-y (+9% q-o-q) to £8.6m. The annualised revenue run rate was £34.4m, providing visibility for management’s reaffirmed guidance of FY22 revenue of at least £35–38m (>40% year-on-year). Consultation volumes, its primary revenue driver, were up 68% y-o-y and 6% q-o-q to 151.9k, with the group delivering a record 54.7k primary care consultations in March. More patients used its Internet Hospital for secondary care diagnostics, up 227% y-o-y to 7.2k (+20% q-o-q). Continued growth should result in a positive step change in revenues, as well as the timing of cash flows, from Q222, following the change in the way it collects rebates (analysis in our latest outlook). However, management believes the concentration of public holidays in Q222 may affect both patient demand and clinician supply, creating short-term headwinds.

Margin pressure easing as expected

Costs per consultation reduced from £38.54 to £32.46, returning to more normalised levels following the temporary impact on the UK’s clinical workforce of COVID-19. This resulted in a 9.8pp q-o-q increase in gross margin to 45.5%, in line with management’s expectations and progressing towards our forecast margin of 47.% for FY22. We believe that consultation costs should continue to decline as the group rolls-out its new operating model from Q222 onwards, expanding its more costly GP service to also include advanced nurse practitioners or a ‘QuickConsult’ questionnaire. Operating leverage could further strengthen after the launch of its ‘health navigator’ automated triage system in Q222 and from a £3.3m reduction in annual headcount costs. Our forecasts for FY22 and FY23 remain materially unchanged, which are in line with management’s guidance, and include gross margins of 47.4% and 53.5% respectively (guidance – FY23: 50–60%) and run-rate EBITDA profitability by H123.

Valuation: Discount to peers

On EV/Sales across FY22e and FY23e, DOC trades at an average 77% and 79% discount to peers, which is at a similar level to the discounts seen across FY21.

Building towards profitable growth

Underlying group revenue increased by 95% y-o-y and by 9% q-o-q to £8.6m, driven by 68% y-o-y growth (+6% q-o-q) in consultations to 151.9k. Consultation volumes expanded month-on-month in the first quarter, reaching a record 54,700 in March. We believe that record-high waiting lists and potentially higher costs for payors due to medical cost inflation using traditional consultation routes should support ongoing growth.

Annualised revenue on a run-rate basis was £34.4m, notable given management’s reiterated guidance for FY22 revenue of at least £35–38m. This provides an early indication that its guidance, as well as our £36.2m forecast for the year, looks achievable given that the company expects to deliver another three quarters of growth. Performance during the year will be supported by the roll-out of its new operating model, and updated partnerships with AXA and Nuffield Health. These provide new revenue opportunities, as well as allowing DOC to scale more rapidly and efficiently by providing patients with broader access to the UK’s clinical workforce. More detail can be found in our latest outlook note.

However, DOC sounded a note of caution, as the concentration of UK public holidays in Q222 may lead to a short-term reduction in patient demand and clinician supply.

The company saw a 9.8pp q-o-q and 2.3pp y-o-y increase in underlying gross margin in Q122, driven by a £6.08 reduction in the cost of sales per consultation to £32.46. Throughout 2021, management had to invest significantly in onboarding GPs due to supply constraints relating to COVID-19, but remained confident that margins would revert to normal levels once restrictions were lifted. An expected further reduction in consultation costs and the roll-out of its new operating model should further expand its gross margin towards our forecast of 47.4% for FY22 and 53.5% for FY23 (management’s FY23 guidance is 50–60%). Investment in automating technologies, such as its ‘health navigator’ triage tool, could help strengthen its operating leverage as it continues to scale.

Operating cash burn remained high during the period at £5.5m (+£0.1m q-o-q), but included £0.4m in one-off payments relating to headcount reduction. We believe cash burn will reduce as the group continues to scale and benefits from its expected gross margin expansion. Its balance sheet was strengthened by its February fund-raise of A$11.2m (£6.1m), which will help fund the group’s ambition of reaching EBITDA run-rate profitability by the end of H123. Our estimates are unchanged and we forecast an adjusted EBITDA loss of £0.8m for FY23.

Operational highlights

Eligible lives, the number of people that can use DOC’s platform across all its channel partners at the end of a given period, saw notable q-o-q growth for the first time since Q121, increasing by 5% to 2.6m. Activated lives, the number of eligible lives that are signed up to DOC’s platform in a given period, grew by 9% q-o-q to 735,000, with its share of eligible lives remaining flat q-o-q at 21%. This also indicates the scope for growth in its existing UK market, with management providing the example that it would only need activated lives to reach one million and for those patients to receive two consultations per year for annual revenues to exceed £100m.

Consultations, the number of virtual GP (VGP) appointments that are delivered over DOC’s platform during the period, increased to 151.9k, up 6% q-o-q and 68% y-o-y, with more than 68% from returning patients showing robust patient satisfaction. Demand continued to grow linearly in the quarter, with DOC delivering a record 54,700 consultations in March.
