HealthLynked Corp. (OTCQB: HLYK), late yesterday reported its results for the second quarter of 2018.

Q2 2018 compared to Q1 2018:
- 50% increase in Physician vacation hours from 197 in Q1 2018 compared to 295 in Q2 2018 accounting for the majority of the 12% decrease in revenue compared to Q1 2018
- Patient Appointments decreased only 2% from 4,102 in Q1 2018 to 4,010 in Q2 2018
- Average revenue per patient decreased 10% from $157.40 in Q1 2018 to $141.23 in Q2 2018 due to a 50% reduction in deliveries during the period
Revenues for the second quarter of 2018 were $566,320, an increase of 10% over the same period in 2017, mainly due to an increase in patient appointments of 9% along with an increase in time of service collections of 48%. Average revenue per patient increased by 1% compared to the same period last year.
The Company’s health services division realized operating income of $20,982 in the second quarter of 2018, compared to an operating loss of $36,789 in the second quarter of 2017, an improvement of $57,771.
Second quarter 2018 revenue was $566,320, a decrease of 12% over first quarter 2018 revenue. This decrease was mainly caused by an increase in physician vacation hours of 50% impacting a 50% decrease in deliveries for the period.
Patient appointments only decreased 2% and average revenue per patient decreased by 10% compared to Q1 2018.
Dr. Michael Dent, the Company’s Chairman and CEO, stated, “I am pleased with the results of our health services division showing a 10% growth in revenue in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same time last year. This growth was based upon a 9% increase in patient appointments. Southwest Florida typically experiences a significant decrease in population during these months and to see an increase in patient appointments is a reflection of increased patient engagement and retention, which are two key metrics of the HealthLynked Network.
We continue to deploy the enhanced HealthLynked suite of services and we expect to see continued improvements in our health services division through the second half of 2018.”
