BOSTON, August 11, 2021 /BusinessWire/ — Amwell®, (NYSE: AMWL) (the “Company”) a national telehealth leader, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021.
“In Q2, we were pleased to show significant progress in shifting the mix of our revenues more towards enabling technology versus visits. We expect this shift to continue in 2022 and beyond, and after our Converge roll-out to drive better margins and profitability. We are therefore confirming our Subscription, Carepoints and related technology revenue outlook, given the strong performance in the first half.
Regarding visits, on July 18th, the American Academy of Pediatrics reversed their previous guidance and is now recommending that all children, staff, and teachers in grades K-12 wear masks, regardless of vaccination status. Similarly on July 27th, the Centers for Disease Control reversed their previous guidance and are now recommending that all individuals, including those who are vaccinated, wear masks indoors in any location with high or substantial COVID transmission, which currently includes 2/3 of the US population.
With mask mandates quickly returning and also acknowledging other trends we are observing within visit mix and volumes, we need to account for these other dynamics and a likely weaker cold and flu season due to these variant related protective measures. Consequently, we are adjusting down our visit forecast for the remainder of the year to account for these factors,” said Dr. Ido Schoenberg, Chairman and CEO.
Dr. Schoenberg continued, “Converge, coupled with our recent acquisitions, set Amwell apart. Together we uniquely provide a single, integrated, scalable and dependable platform that combines physical, virtual, and automated care delivery enablement. We believe that use of our platform will continue to materially increase over the next few years as healthcare workflows go through significant transformation and focus more on efficiency, impact, and reach.
We were pleased by the feedback of our clients as we began to deploy Amwell Now on Converge. Many more will follow this year. We look forward to providing you with more insight as we continue to support our vast ecosystem of partners and clients in their journey to transform and improve healthcare.”
