The US healthcare market represents a trillion dollar opportunity poised to be disrupted. Skylight has a hybrid approach to healthcare delivery. In-clinic services to meet the needs of patients when standards of care require the physical presence of a health care provider; and virtual telemedicine to support patients who may not need to travel or need more exposure while receiving the same quality of care in the comfort of their homes.

Skylight is pursuing an organic growth strategy on the back of a growth by acquisition model. Acquisitions are attractively priced between 3 and 7 times EBITDA or, in some cases, less than 1 times turnover.

At any given time, there are over 200 potential acquisition opportunities in the market across the United States that are considered an ideal complement to Skylight Health. The Company believes that this path to growth will continue to translate into growth opportunities that enhance its core clinical offerings and add immediate revenue and positive EBITDA.
Along with each acquisition, the company uses a proven multidisciplinary platform backed by more than 25 years of clinical management expertise led by the founder, to enhance the existing clinical revenue base and expand the offerings available in each clinic. The company’s network of clinics will provide primary care services. Additional services will be based on each population defined in each region and will complement the health needs of patients.
The Company also operates a disruptive subscription-based telemedicine offering for uninsured / underinsured patients at US $ 199 / year that provides access to over 40 million Americans who cannot access health care in because of the high cost barrier.
As the company looks forward to 2021, the roadmap will be to execute against its three-pronged growth model, which includes growth through strategic acquisition, organic growth within each clinical practice, and expansion. of its subscription-based service.
Prad Sekar, CEO of Skylight Health, said: “2020 has been a year of transformation for the company. The positivity of Adjusted EBITDA, strengthening our balance sheet with cash and extinguishing long-term debt, and the addition of strong revenue growth and profitability at the exit of 2020 should help us to inspire all at Skylight and among our shareholders and other stakeholders to feel proud and excited for the year ahead. We certainly look forward to building on this momentum and further strengthening our position in the US market for 2021. We thank all of our stakeholders for their continued support. Best wishes and Happy New Year! “
