Babylon Holdings Limited (NYSE: BBLN) (“Babylon” or the “Company”) today confirmed that its revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 is expected to exceed $1.05 billion on both a U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) basis, including revenue from the IPA business in California. Babylon also expects to beat its previous IFRS Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $(270) million or less for 2022. These financial results are preliminary, unaudited and subject to change in connection with the completion of Babylon’s financial closing process and the preparation of its audited financial statements for 2022.

In July 2022, Babylon announced cost reductions expected to deliver up to $100 million in yearly savings. As a result of additional cost saving measures, Babylon expects to deliver an additional 25% in cost reductions on an annualized basis. Babylon continues to expect the proceeds from the planned sale of its IPA business in California to fund the Company to profitability.

Babylon’s previously announced revenue guidance was provided under IFRS, and was between $1.05 to $1.1 billion. Babylon has transitioned to U.S. domestic reporting company status as of January 1, 2023. Accordingly, Babylon will report its full Q4 and 2022 year-end results and provide future guidance under U.S. GAAP.

In addition, Babylon announced that Ali Parsa, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, and David Humphreys, Chief Financial Officer, will participate in the 41st Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference, including a company presentation at 10:30 a.m. Pacific Time on Thursday, January 12, 2023. The live audio webcast of the presentation will be available on the “Events” page of the Investors section of Babylon’s website. The replay will remain available for 30 days following the event.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure under U.S. GAAP and IFRS. IFRS Adjusted EBITDA, which Babylon has reported in prior periods, is defined as profit (loss) for the period, adjusted for finance costs and income, depreciation and amortization, tax provision or benefit, impairment expenses, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, loss on settlement of warrants, share-based compensation, foreign exchange gain or loss, restructuring and other one-time benefit arrangements and gain or loss on sale of subsidiaries.

Babylon is unable to reconcile projected Adjusted EBITDA loss for 2022 to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, as we have not yet completed our financial closing process and are not able to forecast Loss for the period on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability and difficulty in predicting certain items that affect Loss for the period, including, but not limited to, changes in fair value of warrant liabilities, impairment expense, share-based compensation, foreign exchange gains or losses and gains and losses on sale of subsidiaries. Adjusted EBITDA should not be used to predict Loss for the period as the difference between the two measures is variable and may be significant.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful metric for investors to understand and evaluate our operating results and ongoing profitability because it permits investors to evaluate our recurring profitability from our ongoing operating activities.

Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations as reported under GAAP. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other issuers, because some issuers calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently or not at all, limiting its usefulness as direct comparative measure.

About Babylon

At Babylon, our mission is to make quality healthcare accessible and affordable for every person on Earth. We believe that this is possible by combining cutting edge technology with the best medical expertise. To this end we are building an integrated digital first primary care service that can manage population health at scale.

Founded in 2013, we are reengineering how people engage with their care at every step of the healthcare continuum. By flipping the model from reactive sick care to proactive healthcare through the devices people already own, we offer millions of people globally, ongoing, always-on care. And, we have already shown that in environments as diverse as the developed UK or developing Rwanda, urban New York or rural Missouri, for people of all ages, it is possible to achieve our mission by leveraging our highly scalable, digital-first platform combined with high quality, virtual clinical operations to provide integrated, personalized healthcare.

Today, we support a global patient network across 15 countries, and operate in 16 languages. In 2021 alone, Babylon helped a patient every 6 seconds, with approximately 5.2 million consultations and AI interactions. Importantly, this was achieved with a 93% user retention rate in our NHS GP at Hand service and 4 or 5-star ratings from more than 90% of our users across all of our geographies. We are working to demonstrate how our model of digital first integrated primary care can be applied to manage the health of the population in different settings across Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial value based care contracts in the US and our primary care services in the UK.

Babylon is also working with governments, health providers, employers and insurers across the globe to provide them with a new digital-first platform that any partner can use to deliver high-quality healthcare with lower costs and better outcomes.
