Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 7, 2026) - HEALWELL AI Inc. (TSX: AIDX) (OTCQX: HWAIF) ("HEALWELL" or the "Company"), a healthcare artificial intelligence company focused on preventative care, is pleased to announce its unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. A summary of the Company's financial and operational results is set out below, and more detailed information is contained in the interim financial statements and related management discussion and analysis, which are available on the Company's SEDAR+ page at www.sedarplus.ca. Financial measures described as "Adjusted" in this news release are non-IFRS financial measures and may not be comparable to other similar measures disclosed by other companies. Please see Non-IFRS Financial Measures below for more information.

James Lee, Chief Executive Officer of HEALWELL, commented, "HEALWELL is now operating at a fundamentally different scale than even a year ago. The 316% year-over-year revenue growth we delivered in the quarter reflects the successful integration of Orion Health and the accelerating adoption of our AI platform across global healthcare systems. What we are building is a unified clinical intelligence infrastructure, powered by DARWEN™, embedded directly into workflows through Smart Search, Smart Summary, and Smart ID, and increasingly becoming part of how care is delivered across hospitals and health systems."

James Lee added, "Equally important is the expansion of our global footprint. This quarter marked our first AI contract with a major governmental health system in the Middle East, continued enterprise deployment growth across North America, and a meaningful expansion of our U.S. Health Information Exchange (HIE) business. These are not pilot programs, they are large-scale integrations into the core infrastructure of healthcare systems, which is exactly where we believe AI creates the most durable value. At the same time, the continued growth in DARWEN™ validation, now supported by 47 peer-reviewed publications, reinforces that our platform is both commercially scalable and clinically credible."

Anthony Lam, Chief Financial Officer of HEALWELL, commented, "This quarter reflects continued progress in strengthening the Company's financial foundation as we scale a larger, more diversified business. We are increasingly focused on driving operational efficiency, improving margins, and transitioning the business toward sustained positive cash flow as our higher-margin AI and healthcare software revenue streams continue to grow and our integration synergies from recent acquisitions are realized. As we move forward, our priority remains disciplined capital allocation and execution across the platform. With improving Adjusted EBITDA trends and a more focused operating model, we believe HEALWELL is well positioned to continue its trajectory toward becoming sustainably cash flow positive while maintaining strong growth across our core markets."
