NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10‑Q and Article 10 of Regulation S‑X. Accordingly, condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021.
The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2020 was derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for a complete set of financial statements. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020 (included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2021).
2. REVENUE RECOGNITION AND SALES COMMISSIONS
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring those goods or services.
Revenue is recognized based on the following five step model:
|
• |
Identification of the contract with a customer |
|
• |
Identification of the performance obligations in the contract |
|
• |
Determination of the transaction price |
|
• |
Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract |
|
• |
Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation |
The following table represents revenues disaggregated by revenue source (in thousands). Sales taxes are excluded from revenues.

benefit to the Company for a period longer than the contract term, such as for new customer or incremental sales where renewals are expected and renewal commissions are not commensurate with initial commissions.
3. INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities measured at tax rates that will be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.
The Company computes its interim period provision for income taxes by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date pretax income or loss and adjusts the provision for discrete tax items recorded in the period. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of approximately $
4. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Stock Based Compensation

5. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of potentially dilutive common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares are composed of incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and RSUs subject to vesting. The dilutive effect of common equivalent shares is included in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. The total number of common equivalent shares excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share, due to their anti-dilutive effect or contingent performance conditions, was approximately

The COVID-19 pandemic, which spread throughout the world and the United States during 2020, has resulted in a significant economic downturn. As vaccines have become more available, the number of COVID-19 cases has declined in the United States and various other countries, and economic conditions have improved. However, uncertainty remains regarding the extent, timing, and duration of the pandemic, including the extent to which the availability of these vaccines will positively impact public health conditions and whether new, potentially more contagious and/or virulent strains of COVID-19 may pose additional public health risks. The pandemic continues to cause uncertainty and potential economic volatility, including with regard to the pandemic’s various and unpredictable impacts on our healthcare customers and our business.
Our business is focused on providing workforce and provider solutions to healthcare organizations, and as such, the pandemic’s adverse impact on healthcare organizations has resulted in an adverse impact on our Company. Although we believe that COVID-19 did not have a significant negative impact on our revenues or net income during 2020, we believe that it began to have a negative impact on our revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Additionally, certain developments related to COVID-19 have negatively impacted, and are expected to continue to negatively impact, our business during the remainder of 2021 and potentially thereafter, as described below. In particular, sales cycles have been delayed or postponed such that declines in sales bookings by customers during 2020 and the three months ended March 31, 2021 will result in a negative impact to revenue and earnings during the remainder of 2021 and potentially thereafter.
Our operating results have benefited from a temporary reduction of operating expenses related to COVID-19 conditions, but the operating expense reduction itself—despite its positive impact on operating income and adjusted EBITDA—is indicative of the negative impact the pandemic has had, and may continue to have on new bookings and renewals. We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, delayed and reduced bookings and renewals due to the pandemic. Given that we sell multiple year subscriptions to our solutions, the revenue impact of lost or delayed sales in a given period generally does not manifest until future periods, just as the revenue we recognize in a given period is generally the result of sales from a prior period. Since mid-March 2020, our sales organization has been unable to travel and conduct onsite sales meetings with existing or prospective customers, and we have also cancelled tradeshows, which typically provide future sales opportunities. As a result, operating income and adjusted EBITDA benefitted from a $1.2 million reduction in operating expense related to travel restrictions during the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020.
We continue to closely monitor developments related to COVID-19 that may have an adverse impact on our operational and financial performance. We also continue to take actions focused on the safety and well-being of our employees, assisting our customers in this time of need, and mitigating operational and financial impacts to our business. We intend to continue serving our customers both in their battle to defeat the coronavirus and across the continuum of their other workforce and provider solution needs.
Additionally, to promote the safety and well-being of our employees, we required our entire workforce to begin working remotely from home beginning March 16, 2020, and the entire workforce continues to work remotely to date. We have not established a date to return to non-remote working conditions.
Many healthcare organizations have been, and may continue to be, substantially adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The period of time over which this adverse impact continues, the extent to which certain healthcare organizations continue to receive and/or are eligible to utilize governmental funds as the result of federal stimulus and relief measures, and ongoing public health conditions related to the pandemic are important factors that may impact our business.
In light of adverse developments with respect to healthcare organizations as noted above, we are continuing to monitor the ability or willingness of our customers to:
|
• |
pay for our solutions in a timely manner, in full, or at all; |
|
• |
implement solutions they have purchased from us; and |
|
• |
renew existing or purchase new products or services from us. |
We monitor our cash position and credit exposure by evaluating, among other things, weekly cash receipts, days sales outstanding (DSO), customer requests to modify payment or contract terms, and bankruptcy notices. We experienced modest increases in DSO during the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020, which increase was partially due to the increase in accounts receivable balances from acquisitions completed in the fourth quarter of 2020. Additionally, while we have not experienced any adverse impacts to customer defaults resulting from COVID-19, we are unable to know whether or to what extent future negative trends related to the pandemic may arise in the future. Any deterioration in the collectability (or the timing of payments) of our accounts receivable will adversely impact our financial results.
The timing of implementation of our services is also relevant to our business because our software solutions do not result in revenue recognition until they are made available for use. To the extent our customers delay or fail to implement products they have previously purchased, our financial results will be adversely impacted. While we have experienced a negative impact
17
from certain implementation delays related to COVID-19, these delays have not been consistent across products or across customers. Our Provider Solutions business segment has, in some instances, been more sensitive to implementation delays than our Workforce Solutions segment as the result of complexities associated with implementing certain of the solutions offered through that business segment.
Conditions related to the pandemic have also adversely impacted the ability or willingness of some customers to renew their contracts with us, or to renew contracts at the same levels. Pandemic-related conditions have also delayed or otherwise adversely impacted our ability to enter into contracts with new potential customers, as some potential customers have been focused on dealing with the impact and demands that COVID-19 is having on their businesses. In addition, many existing or potential customers are not currently allowing vendors, including representatives of the Company, on their premises, which has reduced, and may continue to reduce, the ability of our sales team to make sales they otherwise would likely make but for the impact of COVID-19. Also, our customers’ uncertainties due to COVID-19, combined with the inability to travel and conduct tradeshows, has had, and may continue to have, a negative impact on our sales volumes. As the pandemic has persisted, we have, however, continued to evolve our sales approach such that our sales representatives are in frequent contact with customers via video conference and other remote means that do not require physical travel or onsite visits to our customers’ facilities. While COVID-19 has had a negative impact on sales volumes, sales have continued throughout the pandemic albeit at a reduced bookings volume.
Our business also relies on a network of partners whose solutions we resell or whose solutions are sold and delivered over our platform. To the extent that COVID-19 results in ongoing or increased business disruption or adverse impacts to our partners, such disruptions and adverse impacts could adversely impact our business.
Given the uncertainty surrounding the adverse impacts that COVID-19 could have on our business, we took certain expense management measures in 2020 as previously disclosed. We have generally discontinued these expense management measures taking into account the improved economic environment and current conditions related to the pandemic, provided that certain expenses such as those associated with travel and tradeshows remain significantly lower than pre-pandemic levels due to an ongoing lack of opportunity to engage in such activities. However, we are continuing to monitor developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic and may reinstate previous expense management measures or undertake further initiatives later in 2021 if we deem necessary.

Key Business Metrics
Our management utilizes the following financial and non-financial metrics in connection with managing our business.
|
• |
Revenues, net. Revenues, net reflect income generated by the sales of goods and services related to our operations and reflects deferred revenue write-downs associated with fair value accounting for acquired businesses. Revenues, net were $63.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $61.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Management utilizes revenue in connection with managing our business and believes that this metric provides useful information to investors as a key indicator of growth and success of our products. |
|
• |
Operating Income. Operating income represents the amount of profit realized from our operations and is calculated as the difference between revenues, net and operating costs and expenses. Operating income was $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $7.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was negatively impacted by a one-time contractual adjustment to cost of revenues as described above in the amount of $3.4 million during the first quarter of 2020. Management utilizes operating income in connection with managing our business and believes that our operating income provides useful information to investors as a key indicator of profitability. |
|
• |
Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA, calculated as set forth below under “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” is utilized by our management in connection with managing our business and provides useful information to investors because adjusted EBITDA reflects net income adjusted for certain non-cash and non-operating items. We also believe that adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors to assess the Company’s ongoing operations. Additionally, beginning in 2021, executive bonuses are based on the achievement of adjusted EBITDA targets. Adjusted EBITDA was $13.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $11.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. |
|
• |
hStream Subscriptions. hStream subscriptions are determined as the number of subscriptions under contract for hStream, our Platform-as-a-Service technology that enables healthcare organizations and their respective workforces to easily connect to and gain value from the growing HealthStream ecosystem of applications, tools, and content. Our management utilizes hStream subscriptions in connection with managing our business and believes that this metric provides useful information to investor, as a measure of our progress in growing the value of our customer base. At March 31, 2021, we had approximately 4.34 million contracted subscriptions to hStream, compared to 3.40 million as of March 31, 2020. |
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with US GAAP. These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions during the preparation of our Financial Statements. We believe the estimates, judgments, and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the Financial Statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates, judgments, or assumptions and actual results, our Financial Statements will be affected.
The accounting policies and estimates that we believe are the most critical in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:
|
• |
Revenue recognition |
|
• |
Accounting for income taxes |
|
• |
Software development costs |
|
• |
Goodwill, intangibles, and other long-lived assets |
|
• |
Allowance for doubtful accounts |
In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by US GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas where management’s judgment in selecting among available alternatives would not produce a materially different result. See Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2020 Form 10-K and the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein which contain additional information regarding our accounting policies and other disclosures required by US GAAP. There have been no changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates from those reported in our 2020 Form 10-K.

Impact on Comparability of Operating Results
The comparability of our operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to the same period for 2020 are impacted by several factors, including acquisitions, the reduction of revenues associated with legacy resuscitation products, and other non-cash items.
Between March 9, 2020 and January 19, 2021, we completed five acquisitions, which resulted in additional revenues and higher operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Our legacy agreements with Laerdal (Legacy Agreements) for the HeartCode and Resuscitation Quality Improvement (RQI) products expired pursuant to their terms on December 31, 2018. Revenues associated with sales of HeartCode and RQI products pursuant to the Legacy Agreements were significant in past years, although margins on such products were lower than HealthStream’s average margin. Revenue generated by HeartCode and RQI products pursuant to the Legacy Agreements was $11.2 million in the first quarter of 2020 compared to $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2021. For additional information, see below under “Other Developments.”
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded a $1.0 million non-recurring, non-cash reduction to paid time off (PTO) expense as a result of modifications to the Company’s PTO policy. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded a $3.4 million non-cash contractual adjustment that resulted in a decrease to royalty expense upon the resolution of a mutual disagreement relating to various elements of a past partnership.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2020
Revenues, net. Revenues increased approximately $1.9 million, or 3%, to $63.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $61.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Revenues for Workforce Solutions increased $1.4 million, or 3%, to $51.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $49.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Contributions from recent acquisitions and growth in other workforce solutions more than offset the expected decline in revenues from legacy resuscitation products. While revenues from legacy resuscitation products effectively ceased at the end of 2020, revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 included $1.8 million as we extended, with support from Laerdal, utilization of these products into 2021 for a small group of customers. Workforce revenues also benefited from a $0.4 million increase in professional services revenues, primarily associated with recently acquired businesses.
Revenues for Provider Solutions increased $0.5 million, or 4%, to $12.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $11.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Revenue growth was attributable to new VerityStream subscriptions and professional services for client implementations.
Cost of Revenues (excluding Depreciation and Amortization). Cost of revenues increased $0.8 million, or 4%, to $21.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $20.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues was 33% for both the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. Cost of revenues were favorably impacted by $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021, resulting from the non-cash reduction to PTO expense, and were favorably impacted in the amount of $3.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 from the one-time non-cash contractual adjustment to royalty expense.
Cost of revenues for Workforce Solutions increased $0.9 million to $17.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the prior year period and approximated 34% and 33% of revenues for Workforce Solutions for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase is primarily associated with the one-time contractual adjustment to cost of revenues in the amount of $3.4 million recorded during the first quarter of 2020, coupled with increased expenses related to recent acquisitions, offset by a decline in royalties related to legacy resuscitation products. Cost of revenues for Provider Solutions decreased $0.1 million to $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the prior year
20
period and approximated 31% and 33% of Provider Solutions revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease is primarily associated with decreases in travel expenses over the prior year period as a result of COVID-19 pandemic.
Product Development. Product development expenses increased $1.9 million, or 25%, to $9.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Product development expenses as a percentage of revenues were 15% and 12% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Product development expenses were favorably impacted in the amount of $0.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the non-cash reduction to PTO expense.
Product development expenses for Workforce Solutions increased $2.1 million to $8.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the prior year period and approximated 16% and 12% of revenues for Workforce Solutions for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase is primarily associated with recent acquisitions and increased product development efforts across other workforce solutions. Product development expenses for Provider Solutions decreased $0.2 million to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the prior year period and approximated 11% and 14% of revenues for Provider Solutions for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in product development expenses is primarily due to an increase in labor capitalized for internally developed software related to additional product investments across the VerityStream product suite.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses, including personnel costs, decreased $0.3 million, or 3%, to $8.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Sales and marketing expenses were 14% and 15% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Sales and marketing expenses were favorably impacted by $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 resulting from the non-cash reduction to PTO expense.
Sales and marketing expenses for Workforce Solutions decreased $0.3 million to $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the prior year period and approximated 14% and 15% of revenues for Workforce Solutions for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in amount is primarily due to lower sales commissions associated with the decline in legacy resuscitation revenues as well as decreases in travel expenses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sales and marketing expenses for Provider Solutions decreased $40,000 to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the prior year period and approximated 13% of revenues for Provider Solutions for both the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. The unallocated corporate portion of sales and marketing expenses increased $34,000 to $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the prior year period.
Other General and Administrative Expenses. Other general and administrative expenses increased $1.6 million, or 17%, to $11.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, from $9.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Other general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 18% and 16% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Other general and administrative expenses were favorably impacted by $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 resulting from the non-cash reduction to PTO expense.
Other general and administrative expenses for Workforce Solutions increased $0.9 million to $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the prior year period and approximated 9% and 8% of Workforce Solutions revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase is primarily due to expenses associated with recent acquisitions. Other general and administrative expenses for Provider Solutions increased $0.1 million to $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the prior year period and approximated 7% of Provider Solutions revenues for both the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. The unallocated corporate portion of other general and administrative expenses increased $0.6 million to $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the prior year period primarily due to increases personnel costs and professional services expenses.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $9.2 million and $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. This increase is primarily a result of increases to amortization associated with capitalized software and recent acquisitions.
Other (Loss) Income, Net. Other (loss) income, net was a loss of $87,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to income of $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease resulted primarily from a one-time $1.2 million gain associated with the change in fair value of the non-marketable equity investment in NurseGrid prior to the acquisition of NurseGrid on March 9, 2020 coupled with lower interest income due to reductions in cash and investment balances and lower interest rate yields during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the prior year period.
Income Tax Provision. The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company’s effective tax rate was 29% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to 21% for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company’s effective tax rate primarily reflects the statutory corporate income tax rate, the net effect of state taxes, foreign income taxes, and the effect
21
of various permanent tax differences. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded discrete tax expense of $0.1 million related to various items, including recording a permanent difference related to purchase accounting adjustments and the impact of a state tax rate change enacted during the period. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded a $1.2 million change in fair value of non-marketable equity investments as a result of the NurseGrid acquisition, which is not a taxable transaction, resulting in a tax benefit of $0.3 million. The Company recorded an increase to the provision for income taxes associated with tax deficiencies resulting from stock based awards of $17,000 and $26,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Net Income. Net income was approximately $2.3 million and $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Earnings per share (EPS) was $0.07 per share (diluted) and $0.22 per share (diluted) for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. The one-time contractual adjustment discussed above positively impacted net income in the amount of $2.6 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Adjusted EBITDA was $13.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $11.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for our reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable measures under US GAAP and disclosure regarding why we believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors.
Other Developments
Our legacy agreements with Laerdal (Legacy Agreements) for the HeartCode and Resuscitation Quality Improvement (RQI) products expired pursuant to their terms on December 31, 2018. Revenues associated with sales of HeartCode and RQI products pursuant to the Legacy Agreements have been significant in recent years, although margins on such products have been lower than HealthStream’s average margin. Revenue generated by HeartCode and RQI products pursuant to the Legacy Agreements was $38.4 million and $58.9 million in 2020 and 2019, respectively. While revenues from legacy resuscitation products effectively ceased at the end of 2020, revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 included $1.8 million as we extended, with Laerdal’s support, utilization of these products for a small group of customers. We expect legacy product revenues in the second quarter of 2021 to be approximately $700,000 and expect revenue from legacy products to be de minimis for the second half of 2021.
On December 6, 2018, we announced a new agreement with RQI Partners, a joint venture between Laerdal and the American Heart Association. This agreement with RQI Partners was not an extension or renewal of the expired Legacy Agreements with Laerdal and should not be construed as such. Under our agreement with RQI Partners, HealthStream will neither market nor sell HeartCode or RQI. Our RQI Partners agreement provides for continuity of service for customers that desire to purchase HeartCode or RQI from RQI Partners after December 31, 2018 and receive it via the HealthStream Learning Center. RQI Partners will remit a fee to us when sales of HeartCode and RQI are delivered via the HealthStream Learning Center. These fees will not be sufficient to supplant the revenue runout associated with the Legacy Agreements.
We remain actively engaged in efforts to broaden the scope and utilization of our simulation-related offerings to include a range of clinical competencies that extend beyond resuscitation, and we intend to bring to market a broadened scope of simulation-based offerings, including resuscitation programs. On January 17, 2019, as part of a seven-year collaboration agreement with the American Red Cross which spans to 2026, we announced the launch of the American Red Cross Resuscitation Suite. We are actively engaged in efforts to market, sell, and deliver our new resuscitation offering, which includes the American Red Cross Resuscitation Suite and validation of skills through a technology enabled Innosonian manikin. A growing number of customers have been implemented on our new resuscitation offering and the solution is gaining acceptance in the market. We believe our efforts to market, sell, and deliver the American Red Cross Resuscitation Suite, along with efforts to bring additional simulation-related offerings to market, are giving rise to additional and higher margin opportunities than those that existed under the Legacy Agreements.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This report presents adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management in analyzing our financial results and ongoing operational performance.
In order to better assess the Company’s financial results, management believes that net income excluding the impact of the deferred revenue write-downs associated with fair value accounting for acquired businesses and before interest, income taxes, stock based compensation, depreciation and amortization, changes in fair value of non-marketable equity investments, the de-recognition of non-cash expense resulting from the paid time off expense reduction in the first quarter of 2021 and the resolution of a mutual disagreement related to various elements of a past partnership which resulted in a reduction to cost of sales in the first quarter of 2020 (“adjusted EBITDA”) is a useful measure for evaluating the operating performance of the Company because adjusted EBITDA reflects net income adjusted for certain GAAP accounting, non-cash and non-operating items which may not, in any such case, fully reflect the underlying operating performance of our business. We also believe that adjusted EBITDA is useful to many investors to assess the Company’s ongoing operating performance and to compare the
22
Company’s operating performance between periods. Additionally, beginning in 2021, executive bonuses are based on the achievement of adjusted EBITDA targets.
The Company has revised its definition of adjusted EBITDA to adjust for the derecognition of non-cash expense resulting from the paid time off policy modification in the first quarter of 2021 as the result of the fact that management believes that such non-cash expense is outside of the ordinary course of the Company’s operations and is not reflective of the Company’s underlying operating performance.
As noted above, the definition of adjusted EBITDA also adjusts for the impact of the deferred revenue write-downs associated with fair value accounting for acquired businesses. Following the completion of any acquisition by the Company, the Company must record the acquired deferred revenue at fair value as defined in GAAP, which may result in a write-down of deferred revenue. If the Company is required to record a write-down of deferred revenue, it may result in lower recognized revenue, operating income, and net income in subsequent periods. Revenue for any such acquired business is deferred and is typically recognized over a one-to-two year period following the completion of any particular acquisition, so our GAAP revenues for this one-to-two year period will not reflect the full amount of revenues that would have been reported if the acquired deferred revenue was not written down to fair value. Management believes that including an adjustment in the definition of adjusted EBITDA for the impact of the deferred write-downs associated with fair value accounting for acquired businesses provides useful information to investors because the deferred revenue write-down recognized in periods after an acquisition may, given the nature of this non-cash accounting impact, cause our GAAP financial results during such periods to not fully reflect our underlying operating performance and thus adjusting for this amount may assist in comparing the Company’s results of operations between periods.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Because adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP, adjusted EBITDA is susceptible to varying calculations. Accordingly, adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and have limitations as analytical tools. In addition, adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance which are prepared in accordance with GAAP.
A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is set forth below (in thousands).

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $13.0 million to $19.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $6.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Such increase was primarily driven by higher cash collections. Our DSO was 52 days for the first quarter of 2021 compared to 44 days for the first quarter of 2020, which increase resulted from higher average receivable balances compared to the prior year. The Company calculates DSO by dividing the average accounts receivable balance for the quarter by average daily revenues for the quarter. The Company’s primary sources of cash were receipts generated from the sales of our products and services. The primary uses of cash to fund operations included personnel expenses, sales commissions, royalty payments, payments for contract labor and other direct expenses associated with delivery of our products and services, and general corporate expenses.
Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $9.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $19.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company spent $2.0 million to acquire ComplyALIGN and on a net basis received $1.3 million of proceeds upon settling post-closing adjustments related to the ANSOS and ShiftWizard acquisitions for a net cash outflow of $0.7 million for business combinations, invested in marketable securities of $5.2 million, made payments for capitalized software development of $5.3 million, purchased property
23
and equipment of $2.0 million, and made non-marketable equity payments of $1.0 million. These uses of cash were partially offset by $4.5 million in maturities of marketable securities. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 the Company paid $21.4 million in cash to acquire NurseGrid, invested in marketable securities of $14.1 million, made payments for capitalized software development of $4.1 million, and purchased property and equipment of $1.0 million. These uses of cash were partially offset by $20.7 million in maturities of marketable securities.
Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $10.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The uses of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily included $0.4 million for the payment of employee payroll taxes in relation to the vesting of restricted share units, and $12,000 of cash dividend payments. The uses of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2020 primarily included $9.9 million for common stock repurchases, $0.4 million for the payment of employee payroll taxes in relation to the vesting of restricted share units, and $30,000 of cash dividend payments.
Our balance sheet reflects negative working capital of $1.9 million at March 31, 2021 compared to negative working capital of $4.7 million at December 31, 2020. The improvement in working capital is primarily a result of strong cash collections. The Company’s primary source of liquidity as of March 31, 2021 was $45.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and $10.6 million of marketable securities. The Company also has a $65.0 million revolving credit facility, all of which was available for additional borrowing at March 31, 2021. The revolving credit facility expires on October 28, 2023, unless earlier renewed or amended.
On March 13, 2020, we announced a share repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors under which we could purchase up to $30.0 million of our common stock. Under this program, the Company repurchased a total of 957,367 shares in open market purchases at an aggregate fair value of $20.0 million, reflecting an average price per share of $20.89 (excluding the cost of broker commissions). The program expired on March 12, 2021, and no repurchases occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2021. We may elect in the future to adopt a new share repurchase program and/or otherwise repurchase our common stock, including through privately negotiated transactions. Any such equity repurchases would depend upon prevailing market conditions, contractual restrictions, liquidity and cash flow considerations, applicable securities laws requirements, and other factors.
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, cash generated from operations, and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet anticipated working capital needs, new product development, and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months.
In addition, the Company’s growth strategy includes acquiring businesses or making strategic investments in businesses that complement or enhance our business. It is anticipated that future acquisitions or strategic investments, if any, would be effected through cash consideration, stock consideration, or a combination of both. The issuance of our stock as consideration for an acquisition or to raise additional capital could have a dilutive effect on earnings per share and could adversely affect our stock price. Our revolving credit facility contains financial covenants and availability calculations designed to set a maximum leverage ratio of outstanding debt to adjusted EBITDA and an interest coverage ratio of adjusted EBITDA to interest expense. Therefore, the maximum borrowings against our revolving credit facility would be dependent on the covenant calculations at the time of borrowing. As of March 31, 2021, we were in compliance with all covenants. There can be no assurance that amounts available for borrowing under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to consummate any possible acquisitions, and we cannot assure you that if we need additional financing that it will be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. Failure to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or raise additional capital when required in sufficient amounts and on terms acceptable to us could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates, foreign currency risk, and investment risk. We do not have any commodity price risk.
Interest Rate Risk
As of March 31, 2021 and during the three months then ended, the Company had no outstanding debt. We may become subject to interest rate market risk associated with any future borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The interest rate under the revolving credit facility varies depending on the interest rate option selected by the Company plus a margin determined in accordance with a pricing grid. We are also exposed to market risk with respect to our cash and investment balances, which approximated $56.0 million at March 31, 2021. Assuming a hypothetical 10% decrease in interest rates for invested balances, interest income from cash and investments would decrease on an annualized basis by approximately $8,000.
Foreign Currency Risk
We have foreign currency risks related to our revenue and operating expenses denominated in currencies other than the US dollar, including Canadian dollar, New Zealand dollar, and Australian dollar. Increases and decreases in our foreign-
24
denominated revenue from movements in foreign exchange rates are often partially offset by the corresponding decreases or increases in our foreign-denominated operating expenses.
To the extent that our international operations grow, our risks associated with fluctuation in currency rates will become greater, and we will continue to assess our approach to managing this risk. In addition, currency fluctuations or a weakening US dollar can increase the costs of our international operations. To date, we have not entered into any foreign currency hedging contracts although we may do so in the future.
Investment Risk
The Company’s investment policy and strategy is focused on investing in highly rated securities, with the objective of minimizing the potential risk of principal loss. The Company’s policy limits the amount of credit exposure to any single issuer and sets limits on the average portfolio maturity.
We have an investment portfolio that includes strategic investments in privately held companies, which primarily include early-stage companies. We primarily invest in healthcare technology companies that we believe can help expand our ecosystem. We may continue to make these types of strategic investments as opportunities arise that we find attractive. We may experience additional volatility to our Consolidated Financial Statements due to changes in market prices, observable price changes, and impairments to our strategic investments. These changes could be material based on market conditions and events.
The above market risk discussion and the estimated amounts presented are forward-looking statements of market risk assuming the occurrence of certain adverse market conditions. Actual results in the future may differ materially from those projected as a result of actual developments in the market.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Controls and Procedures
HealthStream’s chief executive officer and principal financial officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on that evaluation, the chief executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that HealthStream’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and the information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act was accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its chief executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in HealthStream’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of 2021 that has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect, HealthStream’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II ‑ OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1A. Risk Factors

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Under this program, the Company repurchased a total of 957,367 shares in open market purchases at an aggregate fair value of $20.0 million, reflecting an average price per share of $20.89 (excluding the cost of broker commissions). The program expired on March 12, 2021.

HEALTHSTREAM, INC.
DIRECTORS STOCK ELECTION PLAN
December 14, 2020
Section 1. Purpose. The purpose of this Directors Stock Election Plan (the “Plan”) is to enable HealthStream, Inc. (the “Company”) to provide a mechanism for non-employee directors of the Company (“Directors”) to elect to cause the cash compensation (the “Director Cash Compensation”) otherwise payable by the Company to any such Directors in their capacity as a non-employee director to be paid in the form of shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value (“Common Stock”), in lieu of Director Cash Compensation, all in accordance with the terms set forth in this Plan and the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan of the Company (the “Incentive Plan”).
Section 2. Election Mechanics.
(a)Director Election Form. At any time prior to the beginning of a calendar year (or other period made available by the Company), a Director may elect, by executing, completing and delivering to the Company an election form to be provided by the Company (the “Election Form”), that all, but not less than all, of the Director Cash Compensation that would otherwise be payable to such Director during such calendar year or other period (the “Applicable Year”) (any Director Cash Compensation that any Director elects to receive in the form of Unrestricted Shares (as defined below) as specified in the Election Form, the “Applicable Director Cash Compensation”) be paid in the form of unrestricted shares of Common Stock issued by the Company (the “Unrestricted Shares”) in lieu of such Applicable Director Cash Compensation.
(b)Common Stock. Any Director electing to receive an award of Unrestricted Shares pursuant to the Election Form will be entitled to receive, on the dates on which such Director would otherwise be entitled to receive Applicable Director Cash Compensation during such Applicable Year, which dates (unless otherwise determined by the Plan Committee) will be the tenth day of the final month in each calendar quarter during such Applicable Year (or, if such day is not a business day, the next succeeding business day) (the “Payment Dates”), an award of Unrestricted Shares in an amount (rounded to the nearest whole share) equal to the quotient of (i) the Applicable Director Cash Compensation otherwise payable on any such Payment Date, divided by (ii) the closing price of the Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the Payment Date, or if the applicable Payment Date falls on a day when markets are closed, then on the most recently ended trading date in proximity thereto. For purposes of clarification, in no event will any Director be entitled to receive any award of Unrestricted Shares except to the extent that the Applicable Director Cash Compensation would otherwise be (or have been) payable to such Director in or with respect to the Applicable Year. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event that, between the date of the Election Form and the Payment Date, any adjustments occur with respect to the Common Stock within the scope of Section 4.2 of the Incentive Plan, or any Change in Control (as defined in the Incentive Plan) is consummated, the Plan Committee may, in its discretion, determine any changes in the consideration to be paid to any Director hereunder (including changes in the form(s) and timing of payment of such consideration payable hereunder consistent with any restrictions set forth in
Section 4.2 of the Incentive Plan), provided that the total value of the consideration payable to any Director after such adjustment shall be equivalent to the pre-adjustment value.
Section 3. Administration
(a)Plan Committee. This Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee, or such other committee as may be appointed by the Board (any such committee, the “Plan Committee”), and may include Directors who have elected to participate in the Plan. No member of the Plan Committee will be liable for any act done or determination made in good faith.
(b)Committee Determination Final. The construction and interpretation of any provision of the Plan by the Plan Committee, and a determination by the Plan Committee of the amount of any deferral account, will be final and conclusive.
(c)Amendments. The Company reserves the right to terminate, modify or amend this Plan, as may be determined by the Plan Committee; provided, however, that no such termination, modification or amendment that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any Director who has previously made an election hereunder shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of such Director.
(d)Non-Alienation. Prior to the issuance of the unrestricted Shares to which an election hereunder relates, no Director (or estate of a Director) will have power to transfer, assign, anticipate, mortgage or otherwise encumber any rights or any amounts payable to him or her hereunder; nor will any such rights or payments be subject to seizure for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony, or separate maintenance, or be transferable by operation of law in the event of bankruptcy, insolvency, or otherwise.
(e)Taxes. Any Director to whom Unrestricted Shares are issued hereunder will become subject to federal, state and local income taxes and other amounts as may be required by law with respect to the receipt of the Unrestricted Shares. By acknowledging and accepting any such award, any such Director will acknowledge that the Company will be required to report the compensation to the IRS, that such Director will be responsible for his or her tax liability, and that the Company will prepare or cause to be prepared an IRS Form 1099 (or other applicable form) reporting such compensation to the Director.
