Company Receives Capital Needed from its Term Lender and Existing Investors to Reach Profitability without any need for future financing.
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Dec. 27, 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 that it has completed a series of financings that bolster the Company’s financial health, reduce execution risk, and provide it with the necessary resources to achieve 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. We also recently announced the significant achievement of positive Free Cash Flow, one of the key metrics towards profitability is Free Cash Flow. In so doing, we received an added vote of confidence from our investors and our largest term lender.”
As disclosed within the financial filing of our most recent quarter, the Company added $811 thousand dollars of capital in the form of promissory and convertible promissory notes, thereby more than matching $635 thousand of additional term loan proceeds from its term loan lender. The term loan lender also provided interest relief through the capitalization of $945 thousand due on the Company’s pre-existing term loan.
Al-Siddiq added: “This capital support has allowed the Company to invest in its largest manufacturing order to date, which will allow it to fulfill anticipated sales orders in calendar 2025. This support and the added revenue that will flow from selling the additional inventory and the connected SaaS-based technology sales that those will generate, provides the Company with enough capital to augment its positive Free Cash Flows and achieve its goal of full profitability within the next calendar year. Stated differently, Biotricity has all the inventory and cash resources to achieve profitability without any need for future financing.
“The most exciting part of our story is that we have achieved economies of scale and efficiencies so that as revenues grow, our expenses will grow at a much lower pace. Our proprietary AI workflow engine has already improved our operational capacity by 50% with an expected further improvement of 15%. This translates to significantly reduced operational expense increases.”
We expect further operational improvements as we continue to enhance and improve our proprietary AI systems. Our next generation AI cloud will improve COGS across our entire SaaS business by 5% post FDA clearance, providing an additional boost to future profits.

Non-GAAP Measures
Free Cash Flow is a non-generally accepted accounting principle (“non-GAAP”) measure that represents the cash that the Company generated 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 any capital assets, as well as 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.
We provide non-GAAP financial information to enhance the understanding of Biotricity’s GAAP financial information; it should be considered by the reader in addition to, but not instead of, the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. We believe that providing these non-GAAP measures in addition to the GAAP measures allows management, investors and other users of our financial information to more fully and accurately assess business performance. The non-GAAP financial information presented may be determined or calculated differently by other companies and may not be directly comparable to that of other companies.
