Company reports continued growth in revenue and record profitability

PLAINVIEW, NY / ACCESSWIRE / August 14, 2023 / Vaso Corporation ("Vaso") (OTCQB:VASO) today reported its operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

"For the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded a total revenue of $20.4 million, representing a 5% growth from the same period last year, thanks to the great performance from all three of our business units," commented Dr. Jun Ma, President and Chief Executive Officer of Vaso Corporation. "Gross profit for the quarter increased by 13% year-over-year, to $12.8 million, as a result of increased revenue and higher gross margin. Quarterly net income was also up significantly, to $2.1 million from prior year's $1.5 million, making the quarter the most profitable second quarter in the history of the Company."

"The Company continued to generate positive cashflow from operating activities, in the amount of $8.0 million during the second quarter of 2023. Furthermore, our balance sheet remains strong, with $26.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of June 30, 2023, up from $15.9 million a year before, and total deferred revenue reached another historical high of $33.6 million at the end of second quarter," Dr. Ma continued.

"We are very pleased with the operating results for the second quarter of the year, especially when the growth was from areas where we have spent resources to develop: our healthcare IT business in VasoTechnology, our new ultrasound sales program for GEHC in VasoHealthcare, and our ARCS^® cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) subscription program in VasoMedical. We continue to concentrate our efforts to maintain continued growth and profitability," concluded Dr. Ma.

Financial Results for Three Months Ended June 30, 2023
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, total revenue increased 5% to $20.4 million from $19.5 million for the same period of 2022. Revenue in our IT segment increased by $416 thousand or 4% when compared to the second quarter of 2022, mostly because of growth in the healthcare IT business. Revenue in the professional sales service segment increased by $400 thousand or 5% when compared to the second quarter of 2022, due primarily to the new GEHC ultrasound sales program beginning in the second quarter of 2023. Revenue in the equipment segment increased by $119 thousand or 19% when compared to the same quarter of last year, due to higher sales of ARCS® cloud software subscription in the US and higher equipment deliveries in our China operations.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2023 was $12.8 million, compared to $11.3 million for the same quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 13% year over year. This increase was primarily the result of the increase in revenue and higher gross margin for the period.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the second quarter of 2023 increased 11% to $10.6 million, when compared to the second quarter of 2022. The increase is primarily attributable to additional headcount for the new GEHC ultrasound sales program and higher travel and personnel costs in the professional sales service segment and higher personnel costs in the China operations, partially offset by a decrease in expenses in the IT segment.

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $2.1 million, compared to net income of $1.5 million in the second quarter 2022, representing an increase of $577 thousand, or 39%.

Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash stock-based compensation) was $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $2.3 million for the same period a year ago.

Net cash provided by operating activities in the first six months of 2023 was $6.0 million, compared to cash provided by operations of $9.7 million for the same period in 2022. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $26.1 million and $20.3 million, respectively.
