The company has reached 145,000 active patients, 18,500 referring physicians and 59 locations throughout 15 states.
CEO and Chairman Greg Crawford said, “We continue to produce exceptional results, highlighted by our robust organic growth, driven by the strong execution displayed across the organization, comprised of over 600 dedicated team members. Our record third quarter financial and operating results are a direct result of our ability to leverage ongoing technology implementation and workflow processes to improve our operations. Strength in the underlying business combined with secular tailwinds and a bullish regulatory landscape provide us extraordinary opportunity to scale aggressively. We have been extremely busy this year, entering five new states (Florida, California, Missouri, Arkansas and Mississippi), as we expand from a regional homecare provider into a national provider, within the United States. For the first time, we will utilize the Quipt brand name post-integration of acquisitions where it makes sense, marking the start of a longer-term plan to transition certain local market brands to Quipt, which we strongly believe will be a driver of future organic growth. The platform we have allows for organic and inorganic growth to be efficiently layered on to generate economies of scale. We have the substantial financial resources and operating expertise to build on the highly scalable platform we have, and we expect to be active on the acquisition front over the remainder of the year."
"As many of you are aware, in mid-June, Philips Respironics issued a product recall for a large portion of their CPAPs, BiPaps and ventilators," Crawford continued. "Philips has been a fantastic partner to us over the years, and we are committed to working through the recall united together. As it relates to our supply chain, it is worth noting, Philips represents a minority percentage of the impacted category for us, and we have not experienced any material impact to date. The Quipt clinical team has done an excellent job working with patients and physicians to manage this complex process and we will continue to work diligently to minimize any future impact. Our focus on delivering superior patient care positions us well to drive future growth.”
