Divestment of Amwell Psychiatric Care intended to focus product portfolio on key growth initiatives

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.

Through Amwell Medical Group® (AMG), the company’s affiliated clinical partner, Amwell remains committed to delivering accessible and convenient behavioral health services, including AMG Therapy Services and SilverCloud® by Amwell digital behavioral health. AMG will continue to be integrated into the Amwell suite of digital care solutions to complement clients’ clinical staffing needs.

“This transaction enables us to place an even greater focus on our mission of connecting and empowering providers, insurers and innovators to deliver more accessible, affordable and high-quality care,” said Schoenberg. “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
  • Adjusted EBITDA in the range of ($137) million and ($142) million
