HEALTHSTREAM ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2019 RESULTS

 

NASHVILLE, Tenn.  (April 22, 2019)—HealthStream, Inc. (NASDAQ: HSTM), a leading provider of workforce and provider solutions for the healthcare industry, announced today results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019. In this earnings release, all results are from continuing operations only (unless otherwise indicated (i.e., results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 exclude the gain on the sale of our divested Patient Experience business segment which was completed in February 2018 and the results of operations of such segment prior to this divestiture).

 

 

Revenues of $65.2 million in the first quarter of 2019, up 19% from $54.9 million in the first quarter of 2018

 

Operating income of $5.4 million in the first quarter of 2019, up 44% from $3.7 million in the first quarter of 2018

 

Income from continuing operations of $4.8 million in the first quarter of 2019, up 32% from $3.6 million in the first quarter of 2018

 

Earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations of $0.15 per share (diluted) in the first quarter of 2019, compared to $0.11 per share (diluted) in the first quarter of 2018

 

Adjusted EBITDA1 from continuing operations of $12.5 million in the first quarter of 2019, up 22% from $10.2 million in the first quarter of 2018

 

Acquired Providigm, LLC, a Denver-based company focused on quality assurance and performance improvement in healthcare, primarily serving skilled nursing facilities on January 10, 2019

 

Scott McQuigg joined HealthStream as Senior Vice President, hStream Solutions

 

Financial Results:  

First Quarter 2019 Compared to First Quarter 2018

Revenues for the first quarter of 2019 increased by $10.3 million, or 19 percent, to $65.2 million, compared to $54.9 million for the first quarter of 2018.

 

Revenues from our HealthStream Workforce Solutions segment were approximately $54.3 million for the first quarter of 2019, compared to $44.9 million for the first quarter of 2018. Revenue growth of $9.4 million from our workforce solutions products was primarily a result of an increase in subscription-based product revenues, including higher revenues from our legacy resuscitation products, which were $17.3 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to $12.3 million in the first quarter of 2018, and growth in our proprietary compliance products. The acquisition of Providigm, LLC in January 2019 also added $1.5 million of revenue to the first quarter of 2019.

Revenues from our HealthStream Provider Solutions segment were approximately $10.9 million for the first quarter of 2019, compared to $9.9 million for the first quarter of 2018. Revenue growth of $1.0 million was primarily due to organic growth among product lines in this segment.

1 Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is a non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations to income from continuing operations and disclosure regarding why we believe adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations provides useful information to investors is included later in this release.

Operating income was $5.4 million for the first quarter of 2019, up 44 percent from $3.7 million for the first quarter of 2018. Operating income was positively impacted by the increase in revenue, partially offset by higher operating expenses associated with increased royalties, personnel costs, commissions, and amortization, as well as additional operating expenses associated with the acquisition of Providigm, LLC.

 

Income from continuing operations was $4.8 million in the first quarter of 2019, up 32 percent from $3.6 million in the first quarter of 2018. EPS from continuing operations was $0.15 per share (diluted) in the first quarter of 2019, compared to $0.11 per share (diluted) for the first quarter of 2018.

 

Net income (from continuing and discontinued operations) was $6.0 million in the first quarter of 2019, compared to $23.8 million in the first quarter of 2018, which decrease was primarily driven by the gain of $20.3 million on the sale of the Patient Experience business in February 2018 recognized in the first quarter of 2018. EPS was $0.18 per share (diluted) for the first quarter of 2019, compared to $0.74 per share (diluted) for the first quarter of 2018.

 

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations increased to $12.5 million for the first quarter of 2019, compared to $10.2 million for the first quarter of 2018.

 

Adjusted EBITDA (from continuing and discontinued operations) was $14.1 million for the first quarter of 2019, compared to $41.2 million for the first quarter of 2018.

 

At March 31, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $146.9 million. Capital expenditures incurred during the first quarter of 2019 were approximately $13.9 million.

 

Other Business Updates

At March 31, 2019, we had approximately 1.84 million contracted subscriptions to hStream™, our Platform-as-a-Service technology. hStream technology enables healthcare organizations and their respective workforces to easily connect to and gain value from the growing HealthStream ecosystem of applications, tools, and content.

 

On January 10, 2019, the Company acquired the outstanding equity of Providigm, LLC, a Denver-based company focused on quality assurance and performance improvement in healthcare, primarily serving skilled nursing facilities, for approximately $18.0 million in cash, subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment. In addition, up to an additional $500,000 in cash may be paid contingent upon the performance of Providigm during an 18-month period following closing. The acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of business combination under ASC 805, Business Combinations, and has been included in our financial results since the date of acquisition.

 

Management Team Announcement

On January 31, 2019, we announced that Scott McQuigg joined HealthStream’s executive team as Senior Vice President, hStream Solutions. As a healthcare technology and media veteran, Mr. McQuigg brings broad executive experience to facilitate innovation and growth of HealthStream’s ecosystem through its new platform technology, hStream. In his new position, he will identify, grow, and develop new hStream content, applications, and partnerships. In April 2019, we announced the first cohort of companies integrating with hStream—all under Mr. McQuigg’s leadership.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release presents adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and adjusted EBITDA, both of which are non-GAAP financial measures used by management in analyzing the Company’s financial results and ongoing operational performance.

In order to better assess the Company’s financial results, management believes that net income before interest, income taxes, share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and changes in fair value of cost method investments (“adjusted EBITDA”) is a useful measure for evaluating the operating performance of the Company because adjusted EBITDA reflects net income adjusted for certain non-cash and non-operating items. Management also believes that adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is a useful measure for evaluating the operating performance of the Company because such measure excludes the results of operations of the PX business that we no longer own and the gain on sale in connection with the sale of such business in February 2018 and thus reflects the Company’s ongoing business operations and assists in comparing the Company’s results of operations between periods. We also believe that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations are useful to many investors to assess the Company’s ongoing results

from current operations. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered as measures of financial performance under GAAP.  Because adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations are not measurements determined in accordance with GAAP, such non-GAAP financial measures are susceptible to varying calculations. Accordingly, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and have limitations as analytical tools.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance, which are prepared in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of our GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures, which are set forth below in this release.
