Second Quarter 2012 Compared to Second Quarter 2011

Revenues for the second quarter of 2012 increased $4.8 million, or 23 percent, to $25.8 million, compared to $21.1 million for the second quarter of 2011.

Revenues from HealthStream Learning increased by $4.9 million, or 34 percent, when compared to the second quarter of 2011. Revenues from our Internet-based subscription products increased by approximately $4.2 million, or 31 percent, over the prior year quarter due to a higher number of subscribers and more courseware consumption by subscribers. Revenues from project-based services increased $696,000 over the prior year quarter. Revenues from SimVentures, our collaborative arrangement with Laerdal Medical A/S, increased $244,000 over the prior year quarter; $392,000 was delivered in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $148,000 during the second quarter of 2011.

Revenues from HealthStream Research decreased by $60,000, or one percent, when compared to the second quarter of 2011. Revenues from Patient Insights™ surveys—a survey research product that generates recurring revenues—increased by $289,000, or seven percent, when compared to the second quarter of 2011. Revenues from other surveys, which are conducted on annual or bi-annual cycles, decreased by $348,000, or 16 percent, when compared to the second quarter of 2011 due to fewer survey engagements.

Operating income for the second quarter of 2012 increased by 30 percent to $4.0 million, compared to $3.1 million for the second quarter of 2011. This improvement resulted primarily from strong revenue growth. Operating expense increases included higher royalties, sales commissions, travel, personnel additions, depreciation, other general expenses, as well as one-time expenses associated with the acquisition of Decision Critical. Partially offsetting these expense increases was a reduction of expense associated with the timing of our annual customer Summit being held during the second quarter of 2011 versus the first quarter of 2012. During the second quarter of 2011, the Summit reduced operating income by approximately $270,000.

Net income for the second quarter of 2012 was $2.4 million, compared to $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2011. Earnings per share (EPS) were $0.09 per share (diluted) in the second quarter of 2012, compared to $0.08 per share (diluted) for the second quarter of 2011. A key factor impacting EPS in the second quarter of 2012 was the effect of additional shares outstanding from the Company's fourth quarter 2011 follow-on stock offering. The impact of the follow-on offering added approximately 3.6 million shares to the second quarter 2012 fully diluted EPS calculation.

Adjusted EBITDA (which we define as net income before interest, income taxes, share-based compensation, and depreciation and amortization) increased by 27 percent to $5.9 million for the second quarter of 2012, compared to $4.6 million for the second quarter of 2011.

At June 30, 2012, the Company had cash and marketable securities of $91.9 million. Capital expenditures totaled $2.2 million for the second quarter of 2012.

Year-to-Date 2012 Compared to Year-to-Date 2011

For the first six months of 2012, revenues were $49.5 million, an increase of 25 percent over revenues of $39.6 million in the first six months of 2011. Net income for the first six months of 2012 increased by 15 percent to $3.8 million, compared to $3.4 million for the first six months of 2011. Earnings per share were $0.14 per share (diluted) for both the first six months of 2012 and 2011. Operating income for the first six months of 2012 improved by 13 percent to $6.4 million, compared to $5.7 million for the first six months of 2011.

Other Business Updates

At June 30, 2012, approximately 2,783,000 healthcare professionals were fully implemented to use our Internet-based HLC for training and education. Revenue recognition commences when a contract is fully implemented. This number is up from approximately 2,486,000 at June 30, 2011. The total number of contracted subscribers at June 30, 2012 was approximately 2,908,000, up from approximately 2,586,000 at June 30, 2011. "Contracted subscribers" include both the 2,783,000 subscribers already implemented and the 125,000 subscribers in the process of implementation.

Based on the number of subscribers, our renewal rate was 108 percent in the second quarter of 2012. Our renewal rate for the number of subscribers reflects the number of subscribers that were up for renewal in the quarter that chose to renew plus the addition of new subscribers on these accounts, compared to previously contracted amounts—which means that the renewal rate can exceed 100 percent. The renewal rate based on subscribers for the second quarter for 2012 compares to a renewal rate of 101 percent during the second quarter of 2011.

Based on contract value, our renewal rate was 102 percent in the second quarter of 2012. Our renewal rate for contract value reflects any pricing adjustment that may occur at renewal along with increases in contract value due to the addition of new subscribers, compared to previously contracted amounts—which means that the renewal rate can exceed 100 percent. Our calculation of this renewal rate includes only the base subscriptions to our platform; it does not include add-on products or content purchased prior to or at the time of renewal. The renewal rate based on contract value for the second quarter of 2012 compares to renewal rate of 116 percent during the second quarter of 2011.

For the trailing four quarters ended June 30, 2012, customers representing approximately 99 percent of subscribers that were up for renewal did renew during the trailing four quarter period, while our renewal rate based on the annual contract value was approximately 102 percent. The trailing four quarter renewal measurements are calculated on the same basis as the quarter results.

In June of 2012, HealthStream advanced its talent management strategy with the acquisition of Decision Critical, Inc., an Austin, Texas based company that specializes in learning and competency management products for acute-care hospitals. Through the acquisition, HealthStream added Critical Portfolio™, a patented electronic portfolio, which is an ideal software-as-a-service based tool to store and view the qualifications, competencies, and skills of the hospital's workforce, including their licenses, educational records, and credentials. We believe Critical Portfolio will be a valuable add-on platform extension to our talent management suite of products.

The consideration paid for Decision Critical consisted of approximately $3.4 million in cash and 22,124 shares of our common stock. Also, we may make additional payments of up to $300,000, contingent upon achievement of certain financial targets and business outcomes over the next year. In allocating the purchase price, we recorded approximately $3.0 million of goodwill, $1.8 million of identifiable intangible assets, $145,000 of net tangible assets, and $700,000 of deferred tax liabilities. The allocation of purchase price is preliminary and may be subject to change within the measurement period of one year from the acquisition date.

Financial Expectations

The Company published updated guidance and anticipates that consolidated revenues for the full year 2012 will grow by 22 to 25 percent when compared to the full year 2011. We anticipate revenue growth in the Learning segment to be in the 30 to 34 percent range and the Research segment's revenue to increase by approximately one to three percent over the prior year.

We expect that operating income will increase between 20 to 26 percent for the full year of 2012 versus our 2011 results.

We believe that equivalent shares for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share will be between 27.4 million and 27.6 million. We anticipate that our effective book income tax rate will be between 39 percent and 40 percent. Actual tax payments will be substantially less than our income tax provision as we continue to utilize our federal and state net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $14.5 million and $12.6 million, respectively, to offset taxable income.

We expect that capital expenditures, including hardware, software, capitalized software development and additional office space will range between $8.0 and $9.0 million during the full year of 2012.

"A primary objective of our company is to support healthcare organizations in assessing and developing their workforce talent and, therefore, I am pleased that in the second quarter, we expanded our talent management suite of products," said Robert A. Frist, Jr., chief executive officer, HealthStream. "Our patented electronic portfolio product gained through our recent acquisition of Decision Critical is an exciting addition to our product portfolio—and we are making investments to offer it as an integrated platform extension to customers by early next year. Also, the HealthStream Performance Center—launched in March—and the HealthStream Competency Center, combined, were newly contracted in the second quarter by 15 healthcare organizations."

A conference call with Robert A. Frist, Jr., chief executive officer, Gerard M. Hayden, Jr., senior vice president and chief financial officer, and Mollie Condra, associate vice president of investor relations and communications will be held on Tuesday, July 24, 2012 at 9:00 a.m. (EST).

(1)	In order to better assess the Company's financial results, management believes that income before interest, income taxes, share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization ("adjusted EBITDA") is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of the Company because adjusted EBITDA reflects net income adjusted for non-cash and non-operating items. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by many investors to assess the Company's results from current operations. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. Because adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, it is susceptible to varying calculations. Accordingly, adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
