• Detoxification programs
• Inpatient/outpatient patient care
• Acquired treatment-center operations
• Facility leasing and related clinical support

- **Rehabilitation and detox services** (100%) — Clinical treatment programs for substance use recovery and detoxification.

- Detoxification programs
- Inpatient/outpatient patient care

- Facility leasing and related clinical support

## Customers

The company serves patients seeking rehabilitation and detox care, with demand coming from individuals needing structured treatment and recovery support. Its facilities also depend on referrals and local patient flow in the communities where it operates, especially Florida and Kentucky. Growth is tied to patient count, facility utilization, and the ability to add new treatment locations.

- **Rehabilitation patients** (primary) — Patients using structured rehab programs for substance use recovery and ongoing care.
- **Detox patients** (primary) — Individuals needing medically supervised detoxification services before or during recovery.
- **Referral-driven local patient base** (secondary) — Patients sourced through local healthcare, community, and recovery referral channels.

- Individuals seeking rehab and detox treatment
- Patients referred by local healthcare and support networks
- Families paying for recovery-oriented care
- Communities needing accessible addiction treatment capacity
- Patients at Florida and Kentucky facilities

## Geography

ETHEMA HEALTH operates in the United States, with disclosed facilities and operations in Florida and Kentucky. The 2025 acquisition of Edgewater Recovery Centers added locations in Morehead and Paducah, Kentucky, while the company also highlighted growth at its West Palm Beach and Boca Raton facilities in Florida. Geography matters because the business is facility-based, regulated at the state level, and dependent on local patient volumes and licensing approvals.

- **United States** (100%) — All disclosed operations and revenue are in the U.S.

- United States is the core operating market
- Florida facilities drive current patient growth
- Kentucky expanded through the Edgewater acquisition
- Morehead and Paducah are disclosed Kentucky locations
- State approvals and local licensing affect ramp-up timing

## Strategy

Management is focused on growing the rehabilitation and detox business organically and through acquisitions. The near-term emphasis is on ramping newly acquired facilities, increasing patient count at existing centers, and securing financing to support working capital and further expansion.

- **Expand through acquisitions** (short-term) — Acquisitions add licensed capacity and accelerate market entry versus building new centers from scratch.
- **Improve utilization at existing facilities** (short-term) — Higher patient count and better occupancy drive revenue leverage in a facility-based model.
- **Strengthen funding capacity** (short-term) — The company disclosed a working-capital need and ongoing financing requirements to support operations and growth.

- Grow rehab and detox operations organically
- Acquire additional treatment-center assets when available
- Ramp newly acquired Florida and Kentucky facilities
- Increase patient count and facility utilization
- Secure working capital and financing for expansion

## Risks

The company has a going-concern and liquidity profile that depends on continued access to external financing, which is a major risk for a small healthcare operator. Its results also depend on patient volumes, regulatory approvals, and successful integration of acquired facilities, while related-party and lease arrangements add execution and governance complexity.

- **Liquidity and going-concern risk** [high] — Management said it expects about $1.5 million of working capital needs and may need equity or debt financing.
- **Regulatory and licensing risk** [high] — Treatment centers require approvals before revenue-generating operations can begin, delaying ramp-up if approvals slip.
- **Acquisition integration risk** [medium] — Recent acquisitions add staffing, lease, and operating complexity and can increase overhead before synergies appear.
- **Related-party and lease risk** [medium] — Real property for acquired operations is controlled by a company related to the CEO, creating governance and pricing scrutiny.

- Going-concern risk if financing is unavailable
- Patient volume volatility affects revenue and staffing needs
- Regulatory approvals can delay facility ramp-up
- Acquisition integration may add costs and execution risk
- Related-party lease structure increases governance scrutiny
- Healthcare compliance and reimbursement risk remain material

## Accounting

The most important accounting issue is acquisition accounting, because the company recognized the Edgewater business from January 2025 and recorded related liabilities and operating costs in the consolidated results. Lease accounting, assumed liabilities, and related-party arrangements can materially affect reported expenses and balance-sheet presentation, while the company also disclosed foreign exchange effects on Canadian-dollar monetary items.

- **Business combination / acquisition accounting** — Adds acquired revenue and operating costs to reported results
- **Assumed liabilities and settlement obligations** — Can materially affect liabilities and cash outflows
- **Lease accounting** — Affects operating expenses and right-of-use/lease liability balances
- **Foreign exchange remeasurement** — Creates non-operating volatility in reported results
- **Internal control deficiencies** — Raises reporting reliability and audit-risk concerns

- Acquisition accounting affects revenue and expense comparability
- Assumed liabilities from ERC can change balance-sheet obligations
- Lease expense and property costs matter for facility economics
- Related-party transactions require careful disclosure and valuation
- Foreign exchange gains/losses affect non-U.S. monetary balances
