REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Dec. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Biotricity Inc. (OTCQB: BTCY) ("Biotricity" or the "Company"), a Technology-as-a-Service (TaaS) company operating in the remote cardiac monitor sector of consumer healthcare, today announced achieving positive free cash flow, a measure of financial health and another major milestone towards profitability.

Dr. Waqaas Al-Siddiq, Biotricity's Founder & CEO, explains: "While continuing on our mission to produce transformative healthcare technologies, we have demonstrated a strong commitment to growth and operational efficiency through innovation, automation and financial discipline, driving revenue and margins on our path to profitability. One of the key metrics management and investors use as a measure of progress to profitability is Free Cash Flow. We are pleased to see this measure become positive during the second fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024."

Free Cash Flow is a non-generally accepted accounting principle ("non-GAAP") measure that represents the cash that the Company generates from its operations after deducting cash used on operating expenses and any capital asset spending. Unlike other accounting measures such as earnings or net income, this measure of profitability excludes non-cash expenses, but includes spending on capital assets and changes in working capital on the Company's Balance Sheet. Free Cash Flow therefore represents the cash that the Company has generated that is available to repay creditors and pay interest or dividends to lenders and investors. New product launches anticipated in FY25 will be accelerated, bringing the Company closer to long-term profitability and sustainability.

Management intends to report this metric as it continues on its path to profitability." Positive Free Cash Flow of $355,016 for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 demonstrated consistently strong progress from the immediately preceding quarter ended June 30, 2024, when this measure was negative $725,567; and even more pronounced progress from the corresponding quarter one year ago, when the measure was negative $1.6 million. Free Cash Flow per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 was positive $0.016 per share compared to negative -$0.186 in the corresponding quarter of the prior fiscal year.
