Financial Results:
Third Quarter 2022 Compared to Third Quarter 2021
Revenues for the third quarter of 2022 increased by $3.2 million, or five percent, to $67.3 million, compared to $64.1 million for the third quarter of 2021.
Revenues from our Workforce Solutions segment were $54.1 million for the third quarter of 2022, an increase of six percent compared to $51.2 million for the third quarter of 2021. The workforce segment experienced growth in several product categories, including contributions from recent acquisitions, which was partially offset by declines from the legacy resuscitation business.
Revenues from our Provider Solutions segment were $13.2 million for the third quarter of 2022, an increase of two percent compared to $12.9 million for the third quarter of 2021. This revenue growth of $0.3 million was primarily attributable to an increase in subscription revenues which was partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in professional services revenue.
1 Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income and disclosure regarding why we believe adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors is included later in this release.

Prior to the Company adopting ASU 2021-08 on January 1, 2022, generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) required companies to adjust beginning balances of acquired deferred revenue as part of “fair value” accounting. Following the adoption of ASU 2021-08, contracts acquired in any acquisition completed on or after January 1, 2022 will be measured as if the Company had originated the contract such that the Company will no longer record deferred revenue write-downs associated with acquired businesses (for acquisitions completed prior to January 1, 2022, the Company will continue to record deferred revenue write-downs associated with fair value accounting for periods on and after January 1, 2022 consistent with past practice). During the third quarter of 2022, HealthStream reported a reduction of $46,000 to revenue and operating income and a reduction of $36,000 to net income as a result of deferred revenue write-downs from acquisitions completed prior to the adoption of this new accounting standard. During the third quarter of 2021, HealthStream reported a reduction of $0.8 million to revenue and operating income and a reduction of $0.6 million to net income as a result of deferred revenue write-downs from prior acquisitions.
Operating income was $2.4 million for the third quarter of 2022, up 33 percent from $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2021. The improvement in operating income was primarily attributable to higher revenues, as discussed above, reductions in office lease costs, and an increase in capitalized labor associated with software development activities. Partially offsetting these improvements were increases in personnel for product development, sales and marketing, higher travel expenses, and incremental expenses associated with recent acquisitions.
Other income includes a $2.7 million gain in the third quarter of 2022 associated with the sale of a company in which we owned a minority equity interest.
Net income was $3.7 million in the third quarter of 2022, up 144 percent from $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2021, and EPS was $0.12 per share (diluted) in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $0.05 per share (diluted) for the third quarter of 2021. Net income and EPS were positively impacted in the amount of $2.1 million and $0.07 per share (diluted), respectively, from the gain associated with the sale of our minority equity interest as set forth above.
Adjusted EBITDA was $12.7 million for the third quarter of 2022, up two percent from $12.5 million in the third quarter of 2021. The gain associated with the sale of the minority investment mentioned above is not included in the calculation of adjusted EBITDA.
On September 30, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $51.8 million. Capital expenditures incurred during the third quarter of 2022 were $6.1 million.

Financial Outlook for 2022
The Company is updating its guidance for 2022 for certain of the measures set forth below. Specifically, in relation to the consolidated revenue guidance range below, we are forecasting revenues for the fourth quarter of 2022 to increase approximately 6.0 (six) percent over the fourth quarter of 2021, and revenues for the full year 2022 to increase approximately 3.8 (three and eight tenths) percent over 2021. For a reconciliation of projected adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure defined later in this release, to projected net income (the most comparable GAAP measure) for 2022, see the table included on page ten of this release.

The Company’s guidance for 2022 as set forth above reflects the Company’s assumptions regarding, among other things, the COVID-19 pandemic and current economic conditions as noted below and increased Company expenses in 2022 compared to 2021 associated with growth in staffing levels, lower employee turnover, and the resumption of employee travel. This consolidated guidance does not include the impact of any future acquisitions that we may complete during 2022.

Commenting on third quarter 2022 results, Robert A. Frist, Jr., Chief Executive Officer, HealthStream, said, “Our financial performance in the third quarter of 2022 showed year-over-year increases in each of the major categories we highlight in our earnings release, which include record quarterly revenues and increasing revenue growth rates compared to the first half of the year. This is an exciting time for HealthStream as we are seeing new competitive benefits emerge from our innovative platform strategy, which we believe is paving the way for increased, long-term value for our customers and shareholders.”
A conference call with Robert A. Frist, Jr., Chief Executive Officer, Scott A. Roberts, Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President, and Mollie Condra, Vice President of Investor Relations and Corporate Communications, will be held on Tuesday, October 25, 2022, at 9:00 a.m. (ET).

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release presents adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure 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 excluding the impact of the deferred revenue write-downs associated with fair value accounting for acquired businesses (as discussed in greater detail below) and before interest, income taxes, stock based compensation, depreciation and amortization, changes in fair value of, including gains (losses) on the sale of, non-marketable equity investments, and the de-recognition of non-cash expense resulting from the PTO expense reduction in the first quarter of 2021 (“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/or 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 investors to assess the Company’s ongoing operating performance and to compare the Company’s operating performance between periods. In addition, short-term cash incentive bonuses and certain performance-based equity awards grants are based on the achievement of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in applicable bonus and equity grant documentation) targets.
As noted above, the definition of adjusted EBITDA includes an adjustment for the impact of the deferred revenue write-downs associated with fair value accounting for acquired businesses. Prior to the Company early adopting ASU 2021-08 effective January 1, 2022, following the completion of any acquisition by the Company, the Company was required to record the acquired deferred revenue at fair value as defined in GAAP, which typically resulted in a write-down of the acquired deferred revenue. When the Company was required to record a write-down of deferred revenue, it resulted in lower recognized revenue, operating income, and net income in subsequent periods. Revenue for any such acquired business was deferred and was 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 would 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 businesses acquired prior to the January 1, 2022 effective date of the Company's adoption of ASU 2021-08 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. Following the adoption of ASU 2021-08, contracts acquired in an acquisition completed on or after January 1, 2022 will be measured as if the Company had originated the contract (rather than the contract being measured at fair value) such that, for such acquisitions, the Company will no longer record deferred revenue write-downs associated with acquired businesses (for acquisitions completed prior to January 1, 2022, the Company will continue to record deferred revenue write-downs associated with fair value accounting for periods on and after January 1, 2022 consistent with past practice). At the current time, the Company intends to continue to include an adjustment in the definition of adjusted EBITDA for the impact of deferred revenue write-downs from business acquired prior to January 1, 2022 given the ongoing impact of such deferred revenue on our financial results.

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 has limitations as an analytical tool.
This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance, which are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income (the most comparable GAAP measure), which is set forth below in this release.
