Doctor Care Anywhere Group PLC (ASX:DOC, "Doctor Care Anywhere" or "the Company") is pleased to provide an update on trading for the quarter ended 30 June 2022 ("2Q 2022")1.
The Company will provide a full update for the half year ended 30 June 2022 when its H1 results are published in mid-August 2022.
Cash Position: Progress to Profitability and Net Cash Generation
Cash receipts from customers increased by 12% (£0.9 million : A$1.7 million) to £8.7 million (A$16.4 million). This increase was predominantly driven by revenue growth in 1Q 2022, which due to customer payment terms was paid in 2Q 2022.
Net operating cash outflows decreased by 35% (£1.9 million : A$3.6 million) to £3.6 million (A$6.8 million). This decrease was driven by the increase in cash receipts from customers (as referenced above), driving productivity in the business to lower costs and working capital initiatives.
Net investing cash outflows for the quarter were £0.9 million, an increase of £0.2 million on the prior quarter. This was driven by the business continuing to invest in its technology platform.
Net cash outflows from financing activities for the quarter were £0.1 million. Net cash flows from financing activities were positive in the prior quarter due to the funds received from a Placement and Retail Security Purchase Plan completed during that quarter.
The Company exited the quarter with £12.4 million (A$23.4 million) of cash on hand as at 30 June 2022.

Commentary
Eligible Lives at the end of 2Q 2022 were 2.5 million, up 7% on the pcp. Growth in Eligible Lives was driven by increased penetration of the Company's services across existing channel partners.
At the end of 2Q 2022, Activated Lives were 756,300, up 35% on the pcp. Growth in Activated Lives was driven by marketing and engagement activities across the Company's expanded pool of Eligible Lives.
Consultation volumes continued to grow year-on-year, with 151,100 consultations delivered across 2Q 2022, up 69% on pcp. Growth in consultation volumes was driven by:
- a 38% pcp uplift in new patients to 47,000; and
- improved uptake in the Company's secondary care pathway (referral for diagnostic tests and specialist review of results), with 7,200 patients completing the pathway; up 117% on pcp.

Quarter-on-quarter consultation volumes were materially consistent. As referenced in the Company's trading update for 1Q 2022, this was anticipated due to the concentration in 2Q of UK public holidays impacting both patient demand and clinician supply.
Returning patients represented 69% of all consultations in the quarter, up from 67% in the prior quarter and 62% in the pcp, demonstrating patient satisfaction with the service.
Other
As required by ASX Listing Rule 4.7C.3, the Company discloses that payments to related parties in the period totalled £0.26 million, representing payment of Director Fees to Non-Executive Directors and salaries to Executive Directors (including pension and payroll tax payments), an increase of £0.08 million on the prior quarter. This increase was driven by a one-off payment to the retiring Chairman relating to his contractual entitlements.
