Deepika Vupalanji, Chief Executive Officer of Syrah Health. Deepika, please proceed. Speaker 100:01:44Thank you, Christine, and welcome, everyone. I'm pleased to discuss with you our Q1 2024 financial results and our 2024 outlook. We are off to a great start in 2024 as we return to a strong top line growth. Revenues in the Q1 increased 47% and we exhibited growth across majority of our business units. The multiple contract wins that we announced in recent months are translating into revenues in 2024. Speaker 100:02:14As such, we are confident in our 2024 revenue guidance of $9,000,000 to $11,000,000 which is largely based on contracts in hand and pending implementation. Strong growth in 2024 is expected to come from our population health and healthcare workforce business units, coupled with continued growth from our behavior and mental health, digital health and health education business units. We have been successful in securing sizable contracts in these areas in recent months and expect further opportunities going forward. This is an exciting time for CyreHealth as we embark on fulfilling our promise to continually push the boundaries of mental health solutions, explore new frontiers in digital health and remain dedicated to our pursuit of a healthier population. Our goal is to become a leader in healthcare solutions and to expand our operations by leveraging our established success, which we have achieved in key geographical areas to drive growth nationwide. Speaker 100:03:17The areas of mental and behavior are gaining a lot of attention and the public and private sectors are allocating increased resources in solving this crisis. We are pleased to offer meaningful solutions to this crisis. We remain on track to significantly grow our business units and diversify our customer geography. We are currently operating in 19 states, a major achievement since the inception of the company just 3 years ago. We also diversified our revenues beyond our legacy healthcare workforce to include digital health, population health and health education, which grew over 3 30% and accounted for 19% of our total revenues in the Q1 of 2024 versus just 7% in the Q1 of 2023. Speaker 100:04:09In late 2023, we announced our expansion into the federal government space with the launch of our Government Solutions business unit. We continue active engagement with Caduceus Healthcare and anticipate providing case management services, healthcare staffing, along with behavior and education in support of the federal influx care facilities. We have a growing pipeline of federal government business opportunities as we continue to grow our federal sales team and nurture partnerships with business entities focused on delivering and implementing federal government projects. Looking out beyond the immediate time frame, we are most excited about a suite of technology products, namely Serenity, Cyrobot and CarePlus. Serenity is our flagship and proprietary healthcare product that can be securely deployed to customers for the prevention and treatment of mental and behavioral health issues. Speaker 100:05:10Xernity is available for use by universities and colleges, large employers, pay organizations and provider networks. Cyrobot is a human centric conversational AI backed chatbot that offers 20 fourseven customer support. Cyrobot provides personalized health information and benefit and treatment information for individuals to stay informed and involved in their care. We are currently deploying Cyrobot to a large managed care organization in Indiana and we anticipate similar customers in the near future. CarePlus is an easy to use and affordable electronic medical record system tailored to small to midsized healthcare organizations to enhance operational efficiency, minimize errors and elevate patient care. Speaker 100:06:00We believe that these products can be catalysts for leverageable revenue and margin growth per share. I would like to now speak about our business units in more detail. I'll begin with our Population Health business unit. In this business unit, our solutions help our customers create healthcare improvements for entire populations of individuals at the state and county levels. We conduct data analysis and develop solutions from a health equity lens to help improve health equality and access to care. Speaker 100:06:34Utilizing advanced and predictive analytics, we help stakeholders create new health programs and public policies. We also conduct health readiness assessments and ensure emergency response preparedness. Population health is experiencing very strong growth in the near term, growing 2 13% in the Q1. In the recent months, we have won contracts with public and private organizations in multiple states, including Maine, New Jersey, Tennessee and Indiana. We were recently awarded a contract worth $660,000 per year with a national healthcare organization to provide healthcare effectiveness data and information set, commonly known as HEDIS, outreach and support services essential for fostering positive health outcomes and reducing health care costs. Speaker 100:07:29We also announced a 1 year $480,000 contract from the Indiana Department of Health to administer public health and healthcare readiness assessments. Under the agreement, Saia Health's public health experts will be evaluating how existing hazards and risks impact public health, public health infrastructure and behavioral health within the state of Indiana. Part of the agreement also includes identifying the greatest risk to public healthcare system of Indiana as well as identifying where the Department of Health and its local partners should focus their resources to create a healthcare network for all Indiana residents. Moving on to healthcare workforce, we continue to expand this business unit with contracts and additional fees by providing experienced physicians, nurses and allied health professionals at government and private provider networks, payer organizations and other healthcare facilities across the country. Our healthcare staff ensures continuity of care and helps fill gaps left by healthcare burnout. Speaker 100:08:35Healthcare workforce grew 28% in the Q1 and we expect this business unit to continue strong growth in 2024, driven by strategic collaborations and adaptive staffing approaches. In recent months, we have been successful in securing contracts with state and local organizations in states including Arizona, Indiana, Missouri, Nebraska and Virginia. For example, we secured a healthcare workforce contract in Missouri for providing temporary medical services across the entire state. Revenue from the contract will be determined based on the number of positions filled and the duration. Moving on to Digital Health, this business unit is our most innovative, where we blend technology and innovation to develop a range of health digital health solutions, which are centered on prevention, improved access and affordable care. Speaker 100:09:31Digital Health generated revenues of 92,000 in the Q1 of 2024, driven by sales of a SairaBot product, which was launched in the Q3 of 2023. Cyrobot is a human centric chatbot solution that offers 20 fourseven AI powered conversational customer support. Cyrobot provides high quality responses in up to 200 different languages and holds a large knowledge base for customers with a large volume of data or information. All of our digital health tools utilize AI technology for predictive analysis and we continue to use AI to shape our tools for greater efficiency and personalization. Now on to behavior and mental health, we deem this business unit as the area with the highest potential for revenues in the long term. Speaker 100:10:22The statistics provided by the National Institute of Mental Health paint a star reality of the mental health landscape in America. It's not just numbers, it's a reflection of the millions of people's lives impacted by mental illness. With more than 1 in 5 adults in the United States living with a mental illness, it's evident that mental health concerns affect a significant portion of our population. In this business unit, we focus on preventative mental health and treatment. We offer a variety of products and services to promote mental and behavior well-being, including telehealth and our own licensed therapist. Speaker 100:11:00In 2023, we launched Serenity, a AI backed mental health product for employers, payers, colleges, universities, offering support for the mental health of their employees, health plan benefits and students. Developed to fill the gap in behavior and mental health care, Cernity focuses on preventing a mental health crisis by providing psychological evaluations and AI backed dialing for continued monitoring of mood, mental health assessments, personalized wellness plans, cognitive behavior therapy, guided meditation sessions and real time reporting for tracking of progress or for providing insights to the therapist. We recently hosted Syrah's Mentor and Solutions Day to spotlight FERNITY and their commitment to working with non profits that are destigmatizing mental health. We are currently negotiating contracts with private organizations that are interested in utilizing Serenity for their workforce. Last month, our research study protocol for Serenity was approved by Pearl Institutional Review Board. Speaker 100:12:06The research study will be conducted by 3rd party university researchers and practicing psychologists who will enroll approximately 300 people with moderate to severe depression. From the services side of behavior and mental health, in late December, we announced that we had been awarded a contract with the Mississippi Department of Human Services to provide behavior and mental health services for the Oakleigh Youth Development Center and other locations as directed by the Mississippi Department of Human Services. We have a similar contract in Camden County, New Jersey, where we provide behavioral mental health assessments for police officers in support of their fitness for duty. We also continue to provide competency attainment services to the Indiana Department of Child Services for vulnerable youth charged with delinquent acts. Our health education business unit continues to win new and repeat business. Speaker 100:13:05We are just we were just recently awarded our 3rd training by Maricopa County, Arizona. Our journey in Maricopa County began with Health Equity Training followed by foundations in public health training and soon we will be delivering cultural and community training to their public health officials and community members. We were also awarded a 5 year contract from the Sedgwick County Health Department in Kansas. As part of the agreement, Stata Health will provide overdose data to action trainings to first responders and faith based community organizations in Sedgwick County. And finally, I want to speak about our newest business unit, Federal Government Solutions. Speaker 100:13:49Our business began with state government contracts and we now expect to offer these services to federal agencies as well. Earlier this year, we announced that we had been selected as a subcontractor for a contract awarded to Carusius Healthcare by the Federal Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Families and Children, Office of Refugee Resettlement Medical Staffing and Support. With our federal team in place, we are anticipating more awards in the federal government space. With that, let me turn it over to our CFO, Priya Prasad, who will walk through the financial details. Speaker 200:14:28Priya? Thank you, Deepika, and let me add my welcome to everyone joining on this call. The financial results for the full year are provided in detail within our press release, which will be issued earlier this morning and in our 10 Q. Total revenue for the Q1 of 2024 were 1,700,000 dollars compared to $1,200,000 in the Q1 of last year, representing a 47% growth. Growth was driven by Healthcare Workforce, Population Health and Digital Health. Speaker 200:15:06We will now go through each business unit. Within our Digital Health business unit, revenues were $92,000 during the Q1 driven by sales of Thairaport. Within our Population Health business unit, revenues were $232,000 in the Q1 versus $74,000 in the same period last year, growth of more than 2 13%, driven by demand for our epidemiology services. Within our Healthcare Workforce business unit, we returned to growth in the Q1, posting revenue growth of 28% to a $1,400,000 The increase in Healthcare Workforce revenue was driven by new customer acquisitions and additions to our existing contracts. Based on contracts on hand, we expect healthcare workforce to continue strong growth in 2024. Speaker 200:16:01Behavioral and Mental Health and Health Education Business Units combined had revenues of $11,000 in the first quarter versus $3,000 in the Q1 last year. Gross margins for the Q1 of 2024 were 10.2% compared to 12.4% in the same period last year. The decrease in gross margins were due to the mix shift as healthcare workforce, which carries lower margins, returned to growth. Total operating expenses for the Q1 increased 76% to $1,600,000 compared to $921,000 in the Q1 of 2023. Salaries and benefits expenses increased 61% year over year to support general business growth and sales. Speaker 200:16:53Professional fees declined 18% compared year over year due to the decrease in legal and other professional costs as the company completed its IPO process in the Q4 of 2023. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 87% year over year due to increased operations. Research and development expenses were $277,000 reflecting the development of our technology based solutions. Depreciation expense were $13,000 in the Q1 of 2024 compared to $12,000 in the Q1 of 2023, reflecting expanded office space. The net loss was $1,400,000 for the Q1 compared to a loss of 786 $1,000 in the same period last year. Speaker 200:17:45Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was negative $1,400,000 compared to a negative $763,000 in the Q1 of 2023. Again, full reconciliations are provided in the tables included in today's press release. Our cash balance as of March 31, 2023 was 3,200,000 During the Q1, we received roughly $815,000 as some warrants were exercised. We are maintaining our outlook and expect revenues in 2024 to be in the range of €9,000,000 to €11,000,000 representing a 64% to 100% growth versus 2023. As a reminder, this guidance does not include any potential revenues from any federal government contracts. Speaker 200:18:33With that, let me turn the call back over to Deepika. Speaker 100:18:39Thank you, Priya. Our technologically advanced and innovative solutions are primed to meet the unmet needs of the healthcare industry in key areas of behavioral and mental health, digital health and population health. As we chart our goals for 2024, our priority remains to drive growth across all our business units, while prudently managing our cost structure and balance sheet. The evolving needs of healthcare coupled with the transformative potential of the solution positions us favorably to capitalize on emerging opportunities and deliver sustained value to our shareholders. Our pipeline of future contracts has expanded in recent months and we continue to pay for multiple opportunities across state and federal governments and the private sector. Speaker 100:19:22We expect to continue to announce contract wins as they are solidified. Utilizing a strong balance sheet, we are expanding our RFP and business development teams as we intend to replicate our current projects with similar customers across the country. I appreciate everyone's participation on the call today and will now be happy to answer any questions. Christine? Operator00:19:44Thank you to the entire management team. We have some questions for you. With regards to the outlook of $9,000,000 to $11,000,000 in 2024, can you speak about the timing of these revenues? Are they mostly back half weighted? Priya? Speaker 200:20:02We are happy to reiterate our financial guidance of $9,000,000 to $11,000,000 for 20.24, which is about 64% to 100% increase over our 2023 revenues. We do expect the majority of those revenues to be reflected in the last half of this year due to the implementation cycle of our customers. Operator00:20:23Thank you. You've been successful in winning a lot of contracts. What do you attribute this success to? Deepika? Speaker 100:20:32Yes. CytoHealth has an experienced team of scientifically driven healthcare and technology professionals. Their dedication to excellence is illustrated by our comprehensive suite of innovative services and technology solutions. Our success is evident in the number of contracts we have successfully secured and our continued revenue growth. Operator00:20:54Thank you. The growth in population health has been strong. What is driving that business? Deepika? Speaker 100:21:02Yes. We are skilled at conducting gap analysis to determine what our customers are seeking, driven by our accomplished team of epidemiologists and research scientists, we are experiencing strong demand for our epidemiology services. Through this work, we are shaping the strategic framework of organizations for improving healthcare and we are evaluating state and county programs to improve the health outcomes of the entire communities. Operator00:21:29Thank you. It looks like we are now out of time. My thanks to everyone for participating in today's call. We look forward to speaking with each of you again.Read morePowered by Conference Call Audio Live Call not available Earnings Conference CallSyra Health Q1 202400:00 / 00:00Speed:1x1.25x1.5x2x Earnings DocumentsPress Release(8-K) Syra Health Earnings HeadlinesIsraeli Strike Targets Syria's Hama Countryside, Syrian State News Agency SaysMay 2, 2025 | usnews.comSyra Health To Discuss First Quarter 2025 Financial ResultsMay 1, 2025 | prnewswire.comHere’s How to Claim Your Stake in Elon’s Private Company, xAII predict this single breakthrough could make Elon the world’s first trillionaire — and mint more new millionaires than any tech advance in history.

From the services side of behavior and mental health, in late December, we announced that we had been awarded a contract with the Mississippi Department of Human Services to provide behavior and mental health services for the Oakleigh Youth Development Center and other locations as directed by the Mississippi Department of Human Services. We have a similar contract in Camden County, New Jersey, where we provide behavioral mental health assessments for police officers in support of their fitness for duty. We also continue to provide competency attainment services to the Indiana Department of Child Services for vulnerable youth charged with delinquent acts. Our health education business unit continues to win new and repeat business. Speaker 100:13:05We are just we were just recently awarded our 3rd training by Maricopa County, Arizona. Our journey in Maricopa County began with Health Equity Training followed by foundations in public health training and soon we will be delivering cultural and community training to their public health officials and community members. We were also awarded a 5 year contract from the Sedgwick County Health Department in Kansas. As part of the agreement, Stata Health will provide overdose data to action trainings to first responders and faith based community organizations in Sedgwick County. And finally, I want to speak about our newest business unit, Federal Government Solutions. Speaker 100:13:49Our business began with state government contracts and we now expect to offer these services to federal agencies as well. Earlier this year, we announced that we had been selected as a subcontractor for a contract awarded to Carusius Healthcare by the Federal Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Families and Children, Office of Refugee Resettlement Medical Staffing and Support. With our federal team in place, we are anticipating more awards in the federal government space. With that, let me turn it over to our CFO, Priya Prasad, who will walk through the financial details. Speaker 200:14:28Priya? Thank you, Deepika, and let me add my welcome to everyone joining on this call. The financial results for the full year are provided in detail within our press release, which will be issued earlier this morning and in our 10 Q. Total revenue for the Q1 of 2024 were 1,700,000 dollars compared to $1,200,000 in the Q1 of last year, representing a 47% growth. Growth was driven by Healthcare Workforce, Population Health and Digital Health. Speaker 200:15:06We will now go through each business unit. Within our Digital Health business unit, revenues were $92,000 during the Q1 driven by sales of Thairaport. Within our Population Health business unit, revenues were $232,000 in the Q1 versus $74,000 in the same period last year, growth of more than 2 13%, driven by demand for our epidemiology services. Within our Healthcare Workforce business unit, we returned to growth in the Q1, posting revenue growth of 28% to a $1,400,000 The increase in Healthcare Workforce revenue was driven by new customer acquisitions and additions to our existing contracts. Based on contracts on hand, we expect healthcare workforce to continue strong growth in 2024. Speaker 200:16:01Behavioral and Mental Health and Health Education Business Units combined had revenues of $11,000 in the first quarter versus $3,000 in the Q1 last year. Gross margins for the Q1 of 2024 were 10.2% compared to 12.4% in the same period last year. The decrease in gross margins were due to the mix shift as healthcare workforce, which carries lower margins, returned to growth. Total operating expenses for the Q1 increased 76% to $1,600,000 compared to $921,000 in the Q1 of 2023. Salaries and benefits expenses increased 61% year over year to support general business growth and sales. Speaker 200:16:53Professional fees declined 18% compared year over year due to the decrease in legal and other professional costs as the company completed its IPO process in the Q4 of 2023. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 87% year over year due to increased operations. Research and development expenses were $277,000 reflecting the development of our technology based solutions. Depreciation expense were $13,000 in the Q1 of 2024 compared to $12,000 in the Q1 of 2023, reflecting expanded office space. The net loss was $1,400,000 for the Q1 compared to a loss of 786 $1,000 in the same period last year. Speaker 200:17:45Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was negative $1,400,000 compared to a negative $763,000 in the Q1 of 2023. Again, full reconciliations are provided in the tables included in today's press release. Our cash balance as of March 31, 2023 was 3,200,000 During the Q1, we received roughly $815,000 as some warrants were exercised. We are maintaining our outlook and expect revenues in 2024 to be in the range of €9,000,000 to €11,000,000 representing a 64% to 100% growth versus 2023. As a reminder, this guidance does not include any potential revenues from any federal government contracts. Speaker 200:18:33With that, let me turn the call back over to Deepika. Speaker 100:18:39Thank you, Priya. Our technologically advanced and innovative solutions are primed to meet the unmet needs of the healthcare industry in key areas of behavioral and mental health, digital health and population health. As we chart our goals for 2024, our priority remains to drive growth across all our business units, while prudently managing our cost structure and balance sheet. The evolving needs of healthcare coupled with the transformative potential of the solution positions us favorably to capitalize on emerging opportunities and deliver sustained value to our shareholders. Our pipeline of future contracts has expanded in recent months and we continue to pay for multiple opportunities across state and federal governments and the private sector. Speaker 100:19:22We expect to continue to announce contract wins as they are solidified. Utilizing a strong balance sheet, we are expanding our RFP and business development teams as we intend to replicate our current projects with similar customers across the country. I appreciate everyone's participation on the call today and will now be happy to answer any questions. Christine? Operator00:19:44Thank you to the entire management team. We have some questions for you. With regards to the outlook of $9,000,000 to $11,000,000 in 2024, can you speak about the timing of these revenues? Are they mostly back half weighted? Priya? Speaker 200:20:02We are happy to reiterate our financial guidance of $9,000,000 to $11,000,000 for 20.24, which is about 64% to 100% increase over our 2023 revenues. We do expect the majority of those revenues to be reflected in the last half of this year due to the implementation cycle of our customers. Operator00:20:23Thank you. You've been successful in winning a lot of contracts. What do you attribute this success to? Deepika? Speaker 100:20:32Yes.
