Financial Results:

Second Quarter 2024 Compared to Second Quarter 2023

Revenues for the second quarter of 2024 increased by $2.4 million, or 3.4%, to $71.6 million, compared to $69.2 million for the second quarter of 2023. Subscription revenues increased $2.5 million, or 3.8%, and professional services revenues declined by $0.1 million, or 5.5%, compared to the second quarter of 2023.

Operating income was $4.4 million for the second quarter of 2024, up 10.1% from $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2023. The improvement in operating income was primarily attributable to increased revenues and an increase in capitalized labor associated with software development activities, which were partially offset by the $1.0 million charge associated with the bankruptcy of a single customer as referenced above as well as increases in software, labor costs, and amortization expenses.

Net income was $4.2 million in the second quarter of 2024, up 0.8% from $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2023, and EPS was $0.14 per share (diluted) in the second quarter of 2024, up from $0.13 per share (diluted) in the second quarter of 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA was $15.8 million for the second quarter of 2024, up 3.3% from $15.3 million in the second quarter of 2023.

A charge associated with the customer bankruptcy referenced above negatively impacted operating income by $1.0 million, net income by $0.8 million, EPS by $0.02 (diluted), and adjusted EBITDA by $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2024.

At June 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $83.0 million. The Company does not have any outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money. Capital expenditures incurred during the second quarter of 2024 were $6.9 million.

Year-to-Date 2024 Compared to Year-to-Date 2023

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, revenues were $144.3 million, an increase of 4.5% over revenues of $138.1 million for the first six months of 2023. Operating income for the first six months of 2024 increased by 46.4% to $10.1 million, compared to $6.9 million for the first six months of 2023. The increase in operating income was primarily attributable to higher revenues, a decrease in labor costs (primarily resulting from the absence of restructuring charges incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2024 in connection with the Company's 2023 restructuring under a single platform strategy), and an increase in capitalized labor associated with software development activities. Operating income was also impacted by higher expenses, including software, bad debt related to the customer bankruptcy discussed above, amortization, cloud hosting, general marketing, and travel expenses. Net income for the first six months of 2024 increased to $9.4 million, compared to $6.8 million for the first six months of 2023. Earnings per share were $0.31 per share (diluted) for the first six months of 2024, compared to $0.22 per share (diluted) for the first six months of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA increased by 13.2% to $32.9 million for the first six months of 2024, compared to $29.1 million for the first six months of 2023.

Other Business Updates

On July 22, 2024, the Board approved a quarterly cash dividend under the Company's dividend policy of $0.028 per share, payable on August 16, 2024 to holders of record on August 5, 2024.

Financial Outlook for 2024

The Company is updating its guidance for 2024 for certain of the measures set forth below. In addition, the Company is including projected net income for 2024 in its guidance as set forth below. 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 2024, see the table included on page nine of this release.

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 guidance for 2024 as set forth above reflects the Company’s assumptions regarding, among other things, expectations for new sales and renewals, and assumes that general economic conditions, including inflationary pressures, do not deteriorate. This consolidated guidance does not include the impact of any acquisitions that we may complete during 2024, gains or losses from changes in the fair value of minority investments, or impairment of long-lived assets.

“Second quarter 2024 revenues, operating income, and adjusted EBITDA all showed year-over-year growth, which was achieved amidst a couple of unique, one-time customer events presenting headwinds in the quarter,” said Robert A. Frist, Jr., Chief Executive Officer, HealthStream. “With strong sales at the end of the second quarter and a solid sales pipeline, our confidence is reinforced in finishing the year with sequential growth and within our guidance range.”

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 Communications, will be held on Tuesday, July 23, 2024, 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/nvbfharo. To participate via telephone, please register in advance using this link https://register.vevent.com/register/BI26a9c0161c8a4eb78840c47da97b3936. 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 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. In addition, as discussed below, for periods ended on or prior to December 31, 2023, adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of the deferred revenue write-downs associated with fair value accounting for acquired businesses. We 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, certain short-term cash incentive bonuses and performance-based equity awards are based on the achievement of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in applicable bonus and equity grant documentation) targets.

As previously disclosed, 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. In connection therewith, management determined that including an adjustment in the definition of adjusted EBITDA for the impact of the deferred revenue 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 (the “Pre-2022 Acquisitions”) provided useful information to investors because the deferred revenue write-down recognized in periods after any such Pre-2022 Acquisitions could, 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. Following the adoption of ASU 2021-08, contracts acquired in an acquisition completed on or after January 1, 2022 have been 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. With respect to periods ended on or prior to December 31, 2023, the Company has included an adjustment in the calculation of adjusted EBITDA for the impact of deferred revenue write-downs associated with the Pre-2022 Acquisitions consistent with this prior accounting standard, given the ongoing impact of such deferred revenue on our financial results under GAAP over this time period. With respect to periods beginning on and after January 1, 2024, the Company no longer recognizes any deferred revenue write-downs associated with the Pre-2022 Acquisitions under GAAP, and accordingly such deferred revenue write-downs are not an adjustment in connection with the calculation of adjusted EBITDA for periods on and after January 1, 2024.

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 reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA to net income (the most comparable GAAP measure), which is set forth below in this release.
