Financial Results:

Second Quarter 2023 Compared to Second Quarter 2022

Revenues for the second quarter of 2023 increased by $3.6 million, or five percent, to $69.2 million, compared to $65.6 million for the second quarter of 2022. The revenue growth was attributable to growth in several product categories, including contributions from our recent acquisitions. Subscription revenues increased $4.1 million, or six percent, with professional services revenues declining by $0.5 million.

Operating income was $4.0 million for the second quarter of 2023, up 36 percent from $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2022. The improvement in operating income was primarily attributable to increased revenues as well as an increase in capitalized labor associated with software development activities, which were partially offset by increases in amortization, software, and hosting expenses.

Net income was $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2023, up 34 percent from $3.1 million in the second quarter of 2022, and EPS was $0.13 per share (diluted) in the second quarter of 2023, up from $0.10 per share (diluted) in the second quarter of 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA was $15.3 million for the second quarter of 2023, up 17 percent from $13.1 million in the second quarter of 2022.

At June 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $56.0 million. The Company does not have any interest bearing debt. Capital expenditures incurred during the second quarter of 2023 were $6.7 million.

Year-to-Date 2023 Compared to Year-to-Date 2022

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, revenues were $138.1 million, an increase of five percent over revenues of $131.0 million for the first six months of 2022. Operating income for the first six months of 2023 decreased by one percent to $6.9 million, compared to $7.0 million for the first six months of 2022. The decrease in operating income was primarily attributable to higher personnel costs, including severance charges incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2023 due to the previously announced elimination of 33 job roles as a result of several areas of consolidation in connection with restructuring HealthStream’s business under a single platform strategy. Operating income was also impacted by higher expenses, including amortization, software, hosting, contract labor, and travel, which were mostly offset by higher revenues and an increase in capitalized labor associated with software development activities. Net income for the first six months of 2023 increased to $6.8 million, compared to $6.0 million for the first six months of 2022. Earnings per share were $0.22 per share (diluted) for the first six months of 2023, compared to $0.19 per share (diluted) for the first six months of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA increased by seven percent to $29.1 million for the first six months of 2023, compared to $27.1 million for the first six months of 2022.

Other Business Updates

As of June 30, 2023, we had approximately 5.59 million contracted subscriptions to hStream, our Platform-as-a-Service technology platform, which characterizes our single platform approach. By establishing interoperability, the hStream platform enables healthcare organizations and their respective workforces to easily connect to and gain value from the growing HealthStream ecosystem of applications, tools, and content.

On July 24, 2023, the Board approved a quarterly cash dividend under the Company’s dividend policy of $0.025 per share, payable on September 29, 2023 to holders of record on September 18, 2023. Further, the Company intends to declare and pay one more quarterly cash dividend in 2023.

Addition to Board of Directors

On June 5, 2023, we announced the addition of Alex Jahangir, M.D. to the Company’s Board of Directors, effective May 30, 2023. Dr. Jahangir is a nationally recognized physician executive with extensive experience leading in an academic medical center, a biotechnology company, and a metropolitan public health department during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Jahangir is currently vice-president for business development, vice-chair of orthopaedic surgery, and director of orthopaedic trauma at VUMC, as well as the executive medical director of the Vanderbilt Trauma, Burn, and Emergency Surgery Patient Care Center.

1 Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of projected adjusted EBITDA to projected net income (the most comparable GAAP measure) is included later in this release.

The Company’s financial guidance for 2023 set forth above assumes that public health conditions associated with COVID-19 and current economic conditions, including in relation to ongoing inflationary and recessionary pressures, do not deteriorate during the remainder of 2023, particularly with regard to how such conditions impact healthcare organizations. The guidance does not include the impact of any future acquisitions that we may complete during 2023.

“In the second quarter of 2023, HealthStream achieved record quarterly revenues and adjusted EBITDA, with increases of five percent and 17 percent over the prior year quarter, respectively, while net income was up 34 percent over the same time period,” said Robert A. Frist, Jr., Chief Executive Officer, HealthStream. “Given our solid performance, we reiterated our full-year 2023 financial guidance today. In the second quarter of 2023, we also added an impressive new member to our Board of Directors, recorded our first content sales directly to nurses via NurseGrid, and our CredentialStream application was rated “#1 Credentialing Software” on the prestigious G2 software review site.”

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, July 25, 2023, at 9:00 a.m. (ET). Participants may access the conference call live via webcast using this link https://edge.media-server.com/mmc/p/t3rgqk4k.

A replay of the conference call and webcast will be archived on the Company’s website in the Investor Relations section under “Events & Presentations.”

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, and changes in fair value of, including gains (losses) on the sale of, non-marketable equity investments (“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 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 are 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 no longer records deferred revenue write-downs associated with acquired businesses (for acquisitions completed prior to January 1, 2022, the Company continues 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.
