Additionally, with a robust balance sheet supported by USD137 million in cash, we are committed to sustainable growth supported by a clear capital policy. We deeply value our shareholders and our focus on shareholder value will continue through consistent returns with robust business growth, strategic reinvestments, and a strong capital foundation, ensuring that all shareholders, including our minority investors, benefit from our growth and success.” Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $160 million , representing an increase of 23% from $131 million in the same period of 2023. Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were $53 million , representing an increase of 12% from $47 million in the same quarter of 2023. These increases were mainly because the Company started charging patent and trademark fees to our franchisee clinics, and due to the expansion of numbers of our franchisee clinics Total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $56 million , representing an increase of 20% from $47 million in the same period of 2023. Total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were $29 million , representing an increase of 118% from $13 million in the same quarter of 2023. The increases in the total operating expenses were primarily due to listing-related consulting and professional fees, stock-based compensation, and higher office expenses. EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $68.4 million , representing an increase of 22% from $56.3 million in the same period of 2023, mainly due to revenue growth but partially offset by listing-related consulting and professional fees, stock-based compensations. EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $14.8 million , representing a decrease of 36% from $23.3 million in the same quarter of 2023, primarily due to listing-related consulting and professional fees, stock-based compensation, and higher office expenses. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $40.1 million , compared to $24.3 million in the same period of 2023. The increase was attributed mainly to total revenue growth but partially offset by increase of total operating expenses. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $2.8 million , compared to $8.1 million for the same quarter in 2023. The decrease was attributable mainly to higher operating expenses. Cash Flow and Liquidity Highlights As of September 30, 2024 , SBC Medical maintained a strong liquidity position, with cash and cash equivalents totaling $137.4 million , up from $103.0 million as of December 31, 2023 . This increase reflects robust cash generation from operating activities, prudent investment management, and disciplined capital allocation strategies. Operating Cash Flow Net cash provided by operating activities was $27 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 , an increase of 23% from $22 million for the same period in 2023. This growth was driven primarily by a $15 million rise in net income, bolstered by stock-based compensation expenses of $12.8 million related to the Company’s recent public listing, and an improvement in collection of accounts receivable. These positive factors were partially offset by changes in accounts payable and tax liabilities, which reflect the Company’s focus on efficiently managing working capital in a growing operational environment. Investing Cash Flow Net cash used in investing activities totaled $5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 , a decline from $8 million for the same period in 2023. Key contributor to this decrease included payments made on behalf of a related party of $5.2 million . The Company continues to strategically deploy capital towards high-impact assets that align with its long-term growth objectives. Financing Cash Flow Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $11 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 , an increase from $6 million for the same period in 2023. Key contributor to this increase included proceeds from reverse recapitalization, net of transaction costs $11.7 million . The change reflects the Company’s emphasis on self-sustained growth through operating cash flows rather than external financing, with no significant new debt undertaken during the period. Foreign Currency Impact SBC Medical’s cash flows were impacted by a $0.5 million currency translation adjustment due to the depreciation of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar. The Company continues to monitor foreign currency exposure and employ strategies to mitigate risks associated with currency fluctuations. With a robust cash reserve and sound operational cash flows, SBC Medical is confident in its ability to meet near-term liquidity requirements and to fund future growth initiatives. Management believes that the current cash position, alongside planned operational cash flow, will be sufficient to support the company’s business operations and strategic investments for the next 12 months.

For more information, visit https://sbc-holdings.com/ Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Company uses non-GAAP measures, such as EBITDA, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about the Company’s results of operations, enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company’s management in its financial and operational decision-making. The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing the Company’s operating performance, cash flows or liquidity, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for net loss, cash flows provided by operating activities or other consolidated statements of operations and cash flows data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance. For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results.” Forward Looking Statements This press release contains forward-looking statements.
