Outlook

Despite a significant market slowdown due to the pandemic, the Company continued to improve its balance sheet in Q2. The Company continues focusing its resources on expanding and improving its AI business in 2021, with the Company expecting to see significant growth in both its existing cybersecurity AI verticals and new health technology verticals that the Company is building on.

Unfortunately even with populations being vaccinated, and as the contagious Delta variant continues to circulate, there is clear and mounting evidence that people are coming down with breakthrough COVID-19 infections. Testing, contact tracing is a COVID-19 preventative action that will continue for years to come. Only 29.6% of the world population has received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, and a mere15.2% is fully vaccinated.

As Datametrex further integrates Concierge Medical Consultants Inc's business, the Company sees a significant upside as the pandemic shows signs that patients are moving to healthcare being administered at home.

Given the surge in the need for additional healthcare resources, establishing alternative healthcare options becomes critical. Datametrex understands that non-acute healthcare can mitigate exposing patients and their families to COVID-19. The Company is exploring deploying a variety of audio and video technology powered by its battle-tested AI technology to expand telemedicine services.

"I am extremely proud of our whole team. We continue to experience growth as a result of our growing portfolio of companies. The future prospects of Datametrex continue to improve with our swelling customer base. We look forward to executing our business plan for the remainder of the fiscal year," commented Andrew Ryu, Chairman of the Company.

All statements included in this press release that address activities, events, or developments that the Company expects, believes, or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions made by the Company based on its experience, perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances. In addition, these statements involve substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties that contribute to the possibility that the predictions, forecasts, projections, and other forward-looking statements will prove inaccurate, certain of which are beyond the Company's control. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, the Company does not undertake to revise or update these forward-looking statements after the date hereof or revise them to reflect the occurrence of future unanticipated events.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASUREMENTS

The Company has included non-IFRS performance measures throughout this press release, including (a) Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA"); (b) Adjusted EBITDA which is EBITDA adjusted for the gain (loss) on change in fair value of the Company's investment properties and the gain (loss) on change in fair value of derivative instruments; and (c) Book Value per Share which is calculated as equity attributable to Datametrex AI Limited shareholders divided by total common shares outstanding at the end of the reporting period. These non-IFRS financial measurements do not have any standardized meaning as prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Accordingly, these performance measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Management uses EBITDA metrics to measure the profit trends of the business units and segments in the consolidated group since it eliminates the effects of financing decisions. Certain investors, analysts and others utilize these non-IFRS financial metrics in assessing the Company's financial performance. These non-IFRS financial measurements have not been presented as an alternative to net income or any other financial measure of performance prescribed by IFRS. Reconciliation of non-IFRS measures has been provided throughout the Company's MD&A, as applicable, filed under the Company's profile on www.SEDAR.COM.
