Company reiterates guidance for 2024

BOSTON, Jan. 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amwell (NYSE: AMWL), a global leader in digital care, today announced it has sold its Amwell Psychiatric Care (APC) business to Avel eCare, a national leading provider of clinician-to-clinician telehealth services.

With the divestiture of APC, a virtual psychiatric care service that Amwell purchased in 2019, Amwell continues to sharpen its focus on key growth areas, driving greater efficiencies and fulfilling clients' digital care ambitions. Throughout its nearly 20-year history, Amwell has continuously adapted to market demands by leveraging its technology and healthcare expertise to enable clients to deliver high-quality care. The company's decision to divest APC reinforces its culture of agility and commitment to meeting clients' virtual care needs.

"The divestment of APC will enable us to increase focus on our unified, world class digital care platform. The transaction strengthens our balance sheet while emphasizing our focus on growing accretive software contribution in our product mix," said Ido Schoenberg, M.D., Amwell chairman and CEO. "We're confident Avel eCare will be a wonderful home for our APC business and will continue to offer great value to clients. Their expertise in telehealth and shared commitment to innovation make them the ideal organization to carry forward this important work. We look forward to exploring collaborative ways for Amwell and Avel to serve patients and communities together."

Avel eCare is purchasing the APC business for approximately $21M in cash at closing and an additional earn-out payment. The sale includes APC technology, personnel and Asana, the psychiatric clinical network affiliated with Amwell that employs and contracts with APC clinicians.

"It also fortifies our confidence in our stated goal to achieve positive cash flow in 2026."

Amwell reiterated its guidance for 2024, which calls for:

• Revenue in the range of $247 million and $252 million
