HEALTHSTREAM, INC.

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 significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2014 is consistent with the audited 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 footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2014 (included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2015).

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Accounting Standards Codification. The updated guidance states that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also provides for additional disclosures with respect to revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The standard will be effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently reviewing this standard to assess the impact on its future consolidated financial statements.

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.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of approximately $2.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was 43.3% and 41.7%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate primarily reflects the statutory corporate income tax rate, the net effect of state taxes, and the effect of various permanent tax differences.

4. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Company maintains two stock incentive plans. The Company accounts for its stock based compensation plans using the fair-value based method for costs related to share-based payments, including stock options and restricted share units (RSUs). During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company issued 73,500 RSUs with a weighted average grant date fair value of $25.59 per share, measured based on the closing fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued 62,080 RSUs with a weighted average grant date fair value of $29.15 per share, measured based on the closing fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant.

Total stock based compensation expense recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, which is recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of income, is as follows (in thousands):

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 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 restricted share units 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, was approximately 13,000 and 165,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 (in thousands, except per share data):

The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheet approximate the fair value based on quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs. As of March 31, 2015, the Company does not consider any of its marketable securities to be other than temporarily impaired. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not reclassify any items out of accumulated other comprehensive income to net income. All investments in marketable securities are classified as a current asset on the balance sheet because the underlying securities mature within one year from the balance sheet date.

7. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

HealthLine Systems

On March 16, 2015, the Company acquired all of the membership interests of HealthLine Systems, LLC (HLS), a San Diego, California based company that specializes in credentialing, privileging, call center, and quality management solutions for the healthcare industry. The acquisition of HLS will enable the Company to provide a comprehensive solution set for healthcare provider credentialing, privileging, enrollment, referral, onboarding, and analytics in support of HealthStream’s approach to talent management for healthcare organizations. The consideration paid for HLS consisted of approximately $88.1 million in cash (taking into account a working capital adjustment). The Company incurred approximately $1.3 million in transaction costs associated with the acquisition, of which $965,000 were incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and $329,000 were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2014. The transaction costs were recorded in other general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of income. The results of operations for HLS have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition, and are also included in the HealthStream Provider Solutions segment.

The excess of preliminary purchase price over the preliminary fair values of net tangible and intangible assets will be recorded as goodwill. The preliminary fair values of tangible and identifiable intangible assets, deferred tax assets, deferred revenue, and other liabilities are based on management’s estimates and assumptions. The preliminary fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are considered preliminary and are based on the information that was available at the time of the acquisition. The preliminary fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are subject to change during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date) as we finalize the valuation of these items. Included in the preliminary assets and liabilities is an estimated indemnification asset of $500,000 and a contingent liability of $1.5 million, both are associated with tax liabilities. The goodwill balance is primarily attributed to the assembled workforce, additional market opportunities from offering HLS’s products, and expected synergies from integrating HLS with other products or other combined functional areas within the Company. The goodwill balance is deductible for U.S. income tax purposes. The net tangible assets include deferred revenue, which was preliminarily adjusted down from a book value at the acquisition date of $15.3 million to an estimated fair value of $6.1 million. The preliminary $9.2 million write-down of deferred revenue will result in lower revenues than would have otherwise been recognized for such services.

Health Care Compliance Strategies

On March 3, 2014, the Company acquired all of the stock of Health Care Compliance Strategies, Inc. (HCCS), a Jericho, New York based company that specializes in healthcare compliance solutions and services. The Company acquired HCCS to further advance its suite of workforce development solutions, including its offering of compliance solutions. The consideration paid for HCCS consisted of approximately $12.8 million in cash (taking into account a working capital adjustment) and 81,614 shares of our common stock. The Company may make additional payments of up to $750,000, contingent upon the achievement of certain performance milestones within one year post-closing. The Company incurred approximately $515,000 in transaction costs associated with the acquisition, of which $365,000 were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2014 and $150,000 were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2013. The transaction costs were recorded in other general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income. In allocating the purchase price, the Company recorded approximately $6.2 million of goodwill, $8.4 million of identifiable intangible assets, $2.6 million of tangible assets, $625,000 of deferred tax assets, and $2.7 million of liabilities. Included in the recorded liabilities is an accrual for contingent consideration of approximately $600,000. The goodwill balance is primarily attributed to assembled workforce, additional market opportunities of HCCS’s compliance solutions, and expected synergies from integrating HCCS’s products into our platform. The goodwill balance is deductible for U.S. income tax purposes. The net tangible assets include deferred revenue, which was adjusted down from a book value at the acquisition date of $3.2 million to an estimated fair value of $1.7 million. The $1.5 million write-down of deferred revenue will result in lower revenues than would have otherwise been recognized for such services. The results of operations for HCCS have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition, and are also included in the HealthStream Workforce Development Solutions segment.

8. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Company provides services to healthcare organizations and other members within the healthcare industry. The Company’s services are focused on the delivery of workforce development products and services (HealthStream Workforce Solutions), survey and research services (HealthStream Patient Experience Solutions), as well as provider credentialing, privileging, and enrollment products and services (HealthStream Provider Solutions).

Effective with the acquisition of HLS in March 2015, we launched the HealthStream Provider Solutions segment. HealthStream Provider Solutions reflects the combination of HLS and Sy.Med Development, Inc. (Sy.Med). Upon the acquisition of HLS, we changed our organizational structure, appointing a President of HealthStream Provider Solutions, who reports to our Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Our CEO is also our chief operating decision maker. During the first quarter of 2015, we began reporting and assessing performance of this newly formed segment. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The Company’s historical segment disclosures included the aggregation of Sy.Med within the HealthStream Workforce Solutions segment. We have adjusted the prior period segment disclosures to conform to the current year presentation by including Sy.Med within the HealthStream Provider Solutions segment.

The Company measures segment performance based on operating income before income taxes and prior to the allocation of certain corporate overhead expenses, interest income, interest expense, and depreciation. The Unallocated component below includes corporate functions, such as accounting, human resources, legal, investor relations, administrative, and executive personnel, depreciation, a portion of amortization, and certain other expenses, which are not currently allocated in measuring segment performance.

9. DEBT

Revolving Credit Facility

The Company maintains a Loan Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with SunTrust Bank (“SunTrust”) in the aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million, which matures on November 24, 2017. Under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company may borrow up to $50.0 million, which includes a $5.0 million swing line subfacility, as well as an accordion feature that allows the Company to increase the Revolving Credit Facility by a total of up to $25.0 million, subject to securing additional commitments from existing lenders or new lending institutions. The Revolving Credit Facility includes a $5.0 million letter of credit subfacility. The obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by each of the Company’s subsidiaries. At the Company’s election, the borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at either (1) a rate per annum equal to the highest of SunTrust’s prime rate or 0.5% in excess of the Federal Funds Rate or 1.0% in excess of one-month LIBOR (the “Base Rate”), plus an applicable margin, or (2) the one, two, three, or six-month per annum LIBOR for deposits in the applicable currency (the “Eurocurrency Rate”), as selected by the Company, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for Eurocurrency Rate loans depends on the Company’s funded debt leverage ratio and varies from 1.50% to 2.00%. The applicable margin for Base Rate loans depends on the Company’s funded debt leverage ratio and varies from 0.50% to 1.50%. Commitment fees and letter of credit fees are also payable under the Revolving Credit Facility. Principal is payable in full at maturity on November 24, 2017, and there are no scheduled principal payments prior to maturity. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee ranging between 20 and 30 basis points per annum of the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, depending on the Company’s funded debt leverage ratio.

The purpose of the Revolving Credit Facility is for general working capital needs, permitted acquisitions (as defined in the Loan Agreement), and for stock repurchase and/or redemption transactions that the Company may authorize.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains certain covenants that, among other things, restrict additional indebtedness, liens and encumbrances, changes to the character of the Company’s business, acquisitions, asset dispositions, mergers and consolidations, sale or discount of receivables, creation or acquisitions of additional subsidiaries, and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements.

In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility requires the Company to meet certain financial tests, including, without limitation:

 

  a funded debt leverage ratio (consolidated debt/consolidated EBITDA) of not greater than 3.0 to 1.0; and

 

  an interest coverage ratio (consolidated EBITDA/consolidated interest expense) of not less than 3.0 to 1.0.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all covenants. There was approximately $28.0 million outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2015. The weighted average interest rate was 1.67% for borrowings under Revolving Credit Facility during the three months ended March 31, 2015. The carrying value of the Revolving Credit Facility approximates fair value.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (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

 

    Stock based compensation

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 Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2014 Form 10-K, which contains 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 2014 Form 10-K.

Revenues for HealthStream Workforce Solutions increased approximately $7.6 million, or 25.5%, over the first quarter of 2014. Revenues from our subscription-based workforce products increased approximately $7.4 million, or 25.4%, over the prior year first quarter due to a higher number of subscribers and more courseware consumption by subscribers. Our Workforce Solutions annualized revenue per implemented subscriber metric increased by 3.9%, to $34.63 per subscriber for the first quarter of 2015 compared to $33.33 per subscriber for the first quarter of 2014. Our implemented subscriber base increased by 19.4% over the prior year first quarter to 4.27 million implemented subscribers at March 31, 2015 compared to 3.58 million implemented subscribers at March 31, 2014.

Revenues from other products, including surveys conducted on annual or bi-annual cycles and consulting/coaching services, collectively decreased $225,000 compared to the prior year first quarter.

During the first quarter of 2015, we formed the HealthStream Provider Solutions segment, which is a combination of two previously acquired businesses: HLS and Sy.Med Development (Sy.Med).

The increase in both amount and as a percentage of revenue is primarily the result of increased personnel costs associated with the growth in patient survey volume over the prior year first quarter. Cost of revenues for HealthStream Provider Solutions increased approximately $173,000, or 112.6%, to 327,000 and approximated 20.8% and 15.5% of HealthStream Provider Solutions revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in both amount and as a percentage of revenue is primarily the result of the HLS acquisition.

Product development expenses for HealthStream Workforce Solutions increased approximately $1.2 million and approximated 11.2% and 10.2% of revenues for HealthStream Workforce Solutions for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in both amount and as a percentage of revenues is due to additional personnel expenses associated with new product development initiatives for our subscription-based products. Product development expenses for HealthStream Patient Experience Solutions decreased approximately $182,000 and approximated 2.7% and 5.4% of revenues for HealthStream Patient Experience Solutions for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decrease in both amount and as a percentage of revenue is due to fewer personnel expenses compared to the prior year period. Product development expenses for HealthStream Provider Solutions increased approximately $116,000 and approximated 13.4% and 9.6% of revenues for HealthStream Provider Solutions for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in amount and as a percentage of revenues is primarily associated with the HLS acquisition.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses, including personnel costs, increased approximately $400,000, or 5.8%, to $7.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

The increase in amount is primarily due to additional personnel and related expenses and increased marketing spending, but was partially offset by lower commissions. Sales and marketing expenses for HealthStream Patient Experience Solutions decreased approximately $80,000, and approximated 15.6% and 17.9% of revenues for HealthStream Patient Experience Solutions for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Sales and marketing expenses for HealthStream Provider Solutions increased approximately $103,000, and approximated 25.9% and 30.7% of revenues for HealthStream Provider Solutions for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in amount is primarily associated with the HLS acquisition.

Other General and Administrative Expenses. Other general and administrative expenses increased approximately $1.7 million, or 32.4%, to $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Other general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 14.7% and 13.6% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Other general and administrative expenses for HealthStream Workforce Solutions increased approximately $83,000 over the prior year first quarter. Other general and administrative expenses for HealthStream Patient Experience Solutions increased approximately $131,000 over the prior year first quarter primarily due to increased facilities costs for a new patient interview center in Nashville, Tennessee.

Depreciation and amortization increased approximately $852,000, or 35.5%, to $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase primarily resulted from amortization of capitalized software development, amortization of intangible assets from recent acquisitions, and depreciation expense associated with capital expenditures.

Other Income, Net. Other income, net was approximately $9,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $45,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease is primarily associated with interest expense from borrowings under a revolving credit facility.

Income Tax Provision. The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of approximately $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The Company’s effective tax rate was 43.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to 41.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Net Income. Net income increased approximately $775,000, or 39.8%, to $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Earnings per diluted share were $0.10 and $0.07 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA (which we define as net income before interest, income taxes, stock based compensation, and depreciation and amortization) increased by 38.9% to approximately $8.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This improvement is consistent with the factors mentioned above. See Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures below for our reconciliation of this calculation to measures under US GAAP.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This report contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP revenue and adjusted EBITDA, which are used by management in analyzing its financial results and ongoing operational performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance which are prepared in accordance with US GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

In order to better assess the Company’s financial results, management believes that 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 and securities analysts 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 US GAAP. Because adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with US GAAP, it is susceptible to varying calculations. Accordingly, adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

The Company understands that, although adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluation of companies, this measure has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for an analysis of the Company’s results as reported under US GAAP. For example, adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; it does not reflect non-cash components of employee compensation; it does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and due to the Company’s utilization of federal and state net operating loss carryforwards and other available deductions in 2014 and 2015, actual cash income tax payments have been significantly less than the tax provision recorded in accordance with US GAAP, and income tax payments will continue to be less than the income tax provision until our existing federal and state net operating loss carryforwards have been fully utilized or have expired.

Management compensates for the inherent limitations associated with using adjusted EBITDA through disclosure of such limitations, presentation of our financial statements in accordance with US GAAP, and reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable US GAAP measure.

The Company completed the acquisitions of HCCS in March 2014 and HLS in March 2015. In accordance with US GAAP reporting requirements for fair value, we recorded a deferred revenue write-down of approximately $1.5 million for HCCS and a preliminary write-down of $9.2 million for HLS. These write-downs result in lower revenues than would have otherwise been recognized for such services.

In order to provide more accurate trends and comparisons of the Company’s revenues, operating income, and net income, management believes that adding back the deferred revenue write-down associated with fair value accounting for acquired businesses provides a better indication of the ongoing performance of the Company. The revenue for the acquired contracts is deferred and typically recognized over a one year period, and in some cases more than one year, so our US GAAP revenues for the one year period after the acquisition 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $9.0 million and $9.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The number of days sales outstanding (DSO) was 66 days for the first quarter of 2015 compared to 67 days for the first quarter of 2014. 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 $84.3 million and $10.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. During 2015, the Company utilized $88.1 million (net of cash acquired) for acquisitions, purchased $2.3 million of property and equipment, spent $2.0 million for capitalized software development, and made $1.0 million in non-marketable equity investments. These uses of cash were partially offset by maturities of marketable securities of $9.2 million. During 2014, the Company purchased $13.2 million of marketable securities, utilized $12.5 million (net of cash acquired) for acquisitions, spent $1.5 million for capitalized software development, purchased $1.1 million of property and equipment, and made $250,000 in non-marketable equity investments. These uses of cash were partially offset by maturities of marketable securities of $18.5 million.

Cash provided by financing activities was approximately $28.0 million and $292,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The primary sources of cash from financing activities for 2015 resulted from proceeds from borrowings under the revolving credit facility to fund the acquisition of HLS of $28.0 million and proceeds (net of payroll taxes paid) from the exercise of employee stock options and issuance of RSUs. During 2014 the primary source of cash from financing activities resulted from proceeds (net of payroll taxes paid) from the exercise of employee stock options and issuance of RSUs.

Our balance sheet reflects positive working capital of $36.4 million at March 31, 2015 compared to $97.4 million at December 31, 2014. The decrease in working capital was primarily due to the use of cash for the HLS acquisition. The Company’s primary source of liquidity is $64.4 million of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. The Company also has a $50.0 million revolving credit facility, of which $22.0 million was available for additional borrowing at March 31, 2015.

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 cash needs for working capital, new product development and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. Over the past nine years, we have utilized our federal and state net operating loss carryforwards to offset taxable income, therefore reducing our tax liabilities. We anticipate our remaining net operating loss carryforwards will become fully utilized during 2015. Our actual tax payments are expected to increase significantly once the net operating loss carryforwards are fully utilized.

Our growth strategy includes acquiring businesses that provide complementary products and services. We anticipate that future acquisitions, if any, would be effected through a combination of stock and cash consideration. 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 values at the time of borrowing. As of March 31, 2015, we have an outstanding borrowing under the revolving credit facility of $28.0 million, and have remaining capacity under the credit facility of $22.0 million. As of March 31, 2015, 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. We do not have any foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had approximately $28.0 million of outstanding debt under its revolving credit facility. We are subject to interest rate market risk associated with the 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. The average interest rate during the three months ended March 31, 2015 was approximately 1.67%. Assuming a hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates, interest expense from the revolving credit facility would increase on an annualized basis by approximately $47,000 based on the current amount of debt outstanding. We are also exposed to market risk with respect to our cash and investment balances, which approximated $64.4 million at March 31, 2015. 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 $30,000.

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.

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.
