Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Summary
WELL Health Technologies (WHTCF) reported record Q3-2026 revenue of $407.4 million, with Canadian Patient Services driving growth in the quarter. Revenue rose 12% year over year, while adjusted EBITDA, a non-standard earnings measure, fell 15% to $50.9 million. Excluding Circle Medical deferred revenue recognized in the prior-year quarter, revenue and adjusted EBITDA increased 17% and 20%, respectively.
Canadian Patient Services revenue rose 49% to $164.9 million; adjusted EBITDA rose 82% to $25.7 million, reaching a $100 million annualized run-rate one quarter early. Net loss widened to $135.5 million from $2.7 million, including impairment and WELLSTAR listing costs. WELL reaffirmed 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance of $185 million–$195 million and updated revenue guidance to approximately $1.58 billion. WELLSTAR completed its public listing, and WELL issued $150 million of notes, using part of the proceeds to redeem convertible debt.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

- Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to results reported in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), the Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental indicators of its financial and operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures include Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA attributable to WELL Shareholders, Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Non-controlling interests, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Net Income Per Share (basic and diluted). The Company believes these supplementary financial measures reflect the Company's ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful period-to-period comparisons and analysis of trends in its business.
Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin
The Company defines Adjusted Gross Profit as revenue less cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted Gross Margin as Adjusted Gross Profit as a percentage of total segment revenue or consolidated revenue, as applicable. Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin should not be construed as an alternative for revenue or net income (loss) determined in accordance with IFRS. The Company does not present gross profit in its consolidated financial statements as it is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes that Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin are meaningful metrics that are often used by readers to measure the Company's efficiency of selling its products and services.
Adjusted EBITDA
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization less (i) net rent expense on premises leases considered to be finance leases under IFRS 16 "Leases" and before (ii) transaction, restructuring, and integration costs, legal settlements and defense costs, time-based earn-out expense, change in fair value of investments, change in fair value of derivative liability, share of income (loss) of associates, impairment charge, foreign exchange gain/loss, and share-based payments, and (iii) gains/losses that are not reflective of ongoing operating performance. The Company considers Adjusted EBITDA to be a financial metric that measures cash flow that the Company can use to fund working capital requirements, service future interest and principal debt repayments and fund future growth initiatives. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss), cash flow from operating activities or other measures of financial performance defined under IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA for Q3-2026 and Q3-2025 includes deferred revenue related to Circle Medical ("Circle Medical Deferrals") of $nil and
Adjusted EBITDA Margin
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Total Segment Revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to WELL Shareholders/Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA attributable to WELL Shareholders (or Shareholder EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Non-controlling interests as the sum of the Adjusted EBITDA for each relevant legal entity multiplied by WELL's or the non-controlling interests' equity ownership, respectively.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share, Basic and Diluted
The Company defines Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss), after excluding the effects of share-based payments, amortization of acquired intangible assets, interest accretion, time-based earnout expense, change in fair value of investments, change in fair value of derivative liability, share of income (loss) of associates, impairment charge, gains/losses that are not reflective of ongoing operating performance and non-controlling interests. The Company revised its definition of Adjusted Net Income starting from the quarter ended September 30, 2024 to exclude share of loss of associates and gains/losses that are not reflective of ongoing operating performance. Comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to the current period definition. Adjusted Net Income Per Share is Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to analyze our results, enhance a reader's understanding of past financial performance and allow for greater understanding with respect to key metrics used by management in decision making. More specifically, the Company believes Adjusted Net Income is a financial metric that tracks the earning power of the business that is available to WELL shareholders.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow
The Company defines Adjusted Free Cash Flow Attributable to Shareholders as Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders, less cash interest, less cash taxes and less capital expenditures.
Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA attributable to WELL Shareholders, Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Non-controlling interests, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Net Income per Share (basic and diluted) are not recognized measures for financial statement presentation under IFRS and do not have standardized meanings. As such, these measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and should be considered as supplements to, and not as substitutes for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with IFRS.
Certain of the Company's non-GAAP financial measures including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Net Income per share (basic and diluted) were materially impacted by the revenue deferral at Circle Medical and the revenue impact at CRH Medical resulting from impaired revenue cycle management services after the billing provider cyberattack. For more details, please refer to the Overall Performance section of the Company's 2025 Annual MD&A.
- Circle Medical Deferred Revenue Adjustments
Circle Medical's deferred revenue adjustments or "Circle Medical Deferrals" refer to adjustments related to the deferred recognition of certain revenues at Circle Medical in accordance with IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". Since deferred revenues do not include significant added cash flow, management provides its key results and outlook including and excluding deferred revenues to facilitate improved insights to WELL's financial results. For more details, please refer to the Overall Performance section of the Company's 2025 Annual MD&A.
- Same-Clinic Sales Growth
Same-Clinic Sales Growth represents the year-over-year percentage change in revenue generated by clinics owned and operated by WELL for at least four complete consecutive fiscal quarters prior to the reporting quarter and included in both comparable reporting periods.
The calculation includes all revenue recognized during the reporting period, including retroactive government payments, physician funding adjustments and other government healthcare program payments, regardless of the period to which those payments relate.
