"Heska finished 2022 with great execution and growing momentum for 2023," commented Kevin Wilson, Heska's Chief Executive Officer and President, "to deliver full year results ahead of expectations across most key metrics. Full year revenue (constant currency) grew 5.4%, adjusted for $10 million of foreign currency effects. Heska again placed more new analyzers and converted more customers to our high-margin, high-retention, sustainable subscription model, especially in our International segment, where Active Subscriptions rose 56%, Months Under Subscription were up 47%, and CSV was up 56%. We expect continued sustained subscriptions growth from new and existing customers in 2023."

"In addition to our financial results, Heska invested heavily throughout 2022 to prepare several major drivers of future growth, proprietary differentiation, and scalable capabilities. Heska's proprietary highlights now include the Element AIM® urine and fecal analyzer, the Element i+® immunoassay platform, Heska's Nu.Q® Vet Cancer Screen and Monitor available exclusively at the point-of-care on Heska's Element i+® in minutes and for under $50, and Heska's trūRapidTM Series of tests designed to have the best performance for the best price. These innovations, our acquisition of MBio Diagnostics, Inc. ("LightDeck"), the creator of our Element i+® platform, our upcoming launch of new cloud-based Practice Information Management Software ("PIMS") and related software from our recent acquisition of and investments in VetZ GmbH ("VetZ"), and our other announced and unannounced projects are set to contribute to our growth, profitability, differentiation, scalability, and competitiveness in 2023 and beyond."

"As the pet industry laps difficult comparable periods, Heska is well positioned entering 2023, with strong 2022 analyzer placements under subscription, price, gross margin, new products, and other positives on tap to contribute to 2023," continued Mr. Wilson. "We have invested tremendous energy and resources for ten years to assemble the best assets in the global companion animal point-of-care diagnostics and informatics market. Today, we possess a full solutions stack, a highly scalable business model, an exciting pipeline into big opportunities, strong intellectual property, owned development and production capabilities, a steadily growing subscriptions customer base, good and expanding margin profile and leverage opportunity, a solid cash position, a respected position in the key western markets, and a great team. Now," concluded Mr. Wilson, "we set our focus firmly on our long-articulated Act Three goals to Win at Scale and Win at Innovation from 2023 through 2028. The work is hard and the competition is very strong- but we are energized because the rewards are meaningful and our success matters to pets and their families, veterinarians and their teams, and every stakeholder invested in our Heska mission. This is good work and work worth doing- and Heska is well positioned to do it well."
