CINCINNATI – Quipt Home Medical has announced the Toronto Stock Exchange has accepted its notice of intention to implement a normal course issuer bid (NCIB). Under the NCIB, the company may purchase for cancellation up to 3,626,845 common shares from time to time in accordance with applicable securities laws, representing approximately 10% of the company’s public float (as defined by the TSX). “We are pleased to announce this NCIB as an additional capital allocation option to enhance long-term shareholder value, which is our management team and board’s top priority,” said CEO and Chairman Greg Crawford. “The NCIB reflects our strong view that our common shares continue to trade at a discount and displays the confidence that we have in our business and its future opportunities. Our continued financial and operational performance, together with our strong balance sheet has put our company in the strongest position that it has ever been, and yet our share price continues to languish. We believe the NCIB provides us with flexibility around capital allocation, particularly during periods in which there may be a disconnect between our share price, relative valuation, and our financial performance. Given our continued confidence in our business model and future growth, along with our strong balance sheet and our view that the market is not properly reflecting the fundamentals of the business, we see the NCIB as a welcome supplement to our strategy. We look forward to continuing our multifaceted approach to growth and opportunistically utilizing the NCIB as an additional option for capital allocation.” The NCIB will commence on May 6, 2024, and will terminate upon the earliest of 1) April 30, 2025, 2) the company purchasing the maximum of 3,626,845 common shares, and 3) the company terminating the NCIB. As of April 30, 2024, the company had 42,571,523 common shares outstanding.
