SOMERSET, N.J., Aug. 12, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Medical Transcription Billing, Corp. (Nasdaq:MTBC), a leading provider of proprietary, web-based electronic health records, practice management and mHealth solutions, today announced financial and operational results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2015.

• Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $6.0 million, compared to $2.6 million in the same period last year, an increase of 128%.
• Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $12.1 million, compared to $5.2 million in the same period last year, an increase of 133%.

"We are pleased with our second quarter results, which are in line with our expectations, and demonstrate the strength of our model," said Mahmud Haq, MTBC's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

• For the three months ended June 30, 2015, the GAAP Net Loss was $1.5 million, or $0.15 per share, compared to a GAAP Net Loss of $289,000, or $0.06 per share, in the same period last year.
• For the three months ended June 30, 2015, the non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income was ($252,000), or ($0.02) per share, compared to the non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income of ($82,000), or ($0.02) per share, in the same period last year.
• For the three months ended June 30, 2015, Adjusted EBITDA was ($96,000), or (1.6%) of revenue, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of ($7,000), or (0.3%) of revenue, in the same period last year.

"By the end of the second quarter we had transitioned 98% of the operations of Omni, CastleRock and Practicare, the businesses we acquired at the time of our IPO, to our offshore team, and reduced U.S. personnel costs associated with the acquired businesses by approximately 62% as compared to their payroll cost right after the acquisitions. We are making great progress towards becoming cashflow and EBITDA positive," continued Mahmud Haq.

"The ($96,000) Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter is a significant improvement from the ($709,000) Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter. We made major progress toward returning to profitability after integrating the three businesses we acquired at the time of our IPO. While there are additional actions we are taking during the third quarter to further reduce expenses, please note that we spent approximately $200,000 on payroll and benefits during the second quarter for employees who are no longer with us, as our U.S. headcount decreased from 104 employees on April 1 to 79 employees on June 30. That reduced cost will drop to our bottom line starting in the third quarter," said Bill Korn, MTBC's Chief Financial Officer. "When combined with consolidating offices and further reducing our U.S. staff, we expect to be EBITDA positive during the third quarter, which will be an important milestone for us."

"On a GAAP basis, we had a $1.5 million loss in the second quarter. The $1.4 million difference between Adjusted EBITDA and the GAAP loss reflects $1.2 million of non-cash amortization and depreciation expense, $197,000 of stock-based compensation, $93,000 of integration and transaction costs, and $37,000 of net interest expense, offset by $57,000 of foreign currency gains and an $87,000 decrease in the contingent consideration liability," continued Bill Korn.

In early July, we announced the acquisition of three divisions of SoftCare Solutions, Inc., the U.S. subsidiary of QHR Technologies, Inc., a publicly traded, Canada-based healthcare technology company (TSX-V:QHR).

"This acquisition presents MTBC with a unique strategic opportunity," said Stephen Snyder, MTBC's President. He continued, "we acquired substantially all of the assets of QHR's U.S.-based healthcare clearinghouse, healthcare electronic data interchange (EDI), and revenue cycle management divisions. These assets include relationships with physician offices, software vendors and billing companies representing more than 2,000 healthcare providers throughout the U.S. While the revenue associated with these divisions is minimal, we expect that the vertical integration of the clearinghouse and EDI divisions with our existing healthcare information technology offering, supported by our global team, will drive increased efficiencies, platform enhancements and a further expansion of our customer base throughout the U.S."

"Shortly after the SoftCare acquisition, MTBC's new clearinghouse division achieved certification from Electronic Healthcare Network Accreditation Commission (EHNAC), an independent, federally recognized, accrediting body," said Snyder. He continued, "EHNAC certification confirms the clearinghouse's transactional quality, operational efficiency and data security, and positions the clearinghouse to support our continued growth."

MTBC filed a Form S-1 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on July 15, 2015 to register its proposed underwritten public offering of $15 million of Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Stock"). These shares represent a new class of security, with an 11% annual dividend payable monthly, and a $25.00 liquidation preference. The shares are not convertible, have no stated maturity, and will not be subject to a sinking fund or mandatory redemption. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock will remain outstanding indefinitely unless we decide to redeem the shares, which can occur at the Company's option at any time after five years or within 120 days of a change of control.

Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. will serve as the sole book-running manager for the offering. We have granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 15% of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock initially sold to the public to cover overallotments. We have filed an application to list the Series A Preferred Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

We intend to use the proceeds from the offering to grow the business. This includes acquisitions of revenue cycle management or healthcare IT businesses, as well as expansion of sales and marketing activities. We will use a portion of the proceeds to repay debt. Proceeds may also be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

A registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with the SEC but has not yet become effective. These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective.

We are revising our 2015 guidance, summarized in the following table:

Our ability to fully implement our growth strategy may, however, depend on our ability to raise additional capital, including through the successful offering of our Series A Preferred Stock.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
TO COMPARABLE GAAP MEASURES (UNAUDITED)

The following is a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used by us to describe our financial results determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading "Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the underlying performance of our business operations, investors are reminded to consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, it should be noted that these non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies, and management may utilize other measures to illustrate performance in the future. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA

Set forth below is a reconciliation of our "Adjusted EBITDA" and "Adjusted EBITDA Margin," which represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue.

Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income

Set forth below is a reconciliation of our "Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income" and "Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income per Share."

For purposes of determining non-GAAP adjusted net income per share, we used the number of common shares outstanding at the end of the period on June 30, 2015 and 2014 including the shares which were issued but are considered contingent consideration, in order to provide insight into results considering the total number of shares which were issued at the time of the acquisitions. No tax effect has been provided in 2015 as we have sufficient carryforward losses to offset the applicable taxes.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. However, management believes that, in order to properly understand our short-term and long-term financial and operational trends, investors may wish to consider the impact of certain non-cash or non-recurring items, when used as a supplement to financial performance measures in accordance with GAAP. These items result from facts and circumstances that vary in frequency and impact on continuing operations. Management also uses results of operations before such items to evaluate the operating performance of MTBC and compare it against past periods, make operating decisions, and serve as a basis for strategic planning. These non-GAAP financial measures provide management with additional means to understand and evaluate the operating results and trends in our ongoing business by eliminating certain non-cash expenses and other items that management believes might otherwise make comparisons of our ongoing business with prior periods more difficult, obscure trends in ongoing operations, or reduce management's ability to make useful forecasts. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional means of evaluating period-over-period operating performance. In addition, management understands that some investors and financial analysts find this information helpful in analyzing our financial and operational performance and comparing this performance to our peers and competitors.

Management defines "Adjusted EBITDA" as the sum of GAAP net income (loss) before provision for (benefit from) income taxes, net interest expense, other expense (income), stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, amortization of purchased intangible assets, integration and transaction costs, and changes in contingent consideration, and defines "Adjusted EBITDA Margin" as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue.

Management defines "non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income" as the sum of GAAP net income (loss) before stock-based compensation expense, amortization of purchased intangible assets, other expense (income), integration and transaction costs, changes in contingent consideration, and any tax impact related to these preceding items, and "non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income per Share" as non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income divided by total shares outstanding at the end of the period, including the shares which are considered contingent consideration. Management considers all of these non-GAAP financial measures to be important indicators of our operational strength and performance of our business and a good measure of our historical operating trends, in particular the extent to which ongoing operations impact our overall financial performance.

In addition to items routinely excluded from non-GAAP EBITDA, management excludes or adjusts each of the items identified below from the applicable non-GAAP financial measure referenced above for the reasons set forth with respect to that excluded item:

Other expense (income) – net. Other expense (income) is excluded because foreign currency gains and losses, whether realized or unrealized, and other non-operating expenses are non-cash expenditures that management does not consider part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of our business, and also because the total amount of the expense is partially outside of our control. Foreign currency gains and losses are based on global market factors which are be unrelated to our performance during the period in which the gains and losses are realized.

Stock-based compensation expense. Stock-based compensation is excluded because this is a non-cash expenditure that management does not consider part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of our business, and also because the total amount of the expenditure is partially outside of our control because it is based on factors such as stock price, volatility, and interest rates, which may be unrelated to our performance during the period in which the expenses are incurred.

Amortization of purchased intangible assets. Purchased intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives and generally cannot be changed or influenced by management after the acquisition. Accordingly, this item is not considered by management in making operating decisions. Management does not believe such charges accurately reflect the performance of our ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are incurred.

Integration and transaction costs. Integration costs are the severance payments for certain employees relating to the acquisitions, and transaction costs are upfront costs related to acquisitions and related transactions, such as brokerage fees, pre-acquisition accounting costs and legal fees, and certain acquisition accounting impacts. Management believes that such expenses do not have a direct correlation to future business operations, and therefore, these costs are not considered by management in making operating decisions. Management does not believe such charges accurately reflect the performance of our ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are incurred.

Changes in contingent consideration. Contingent consideration represents the amount payable to the sellers of the acquired businesses based on the achievement of defined performance measures contained in the purchase agreements. Contingent consideration is adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period, and changes arise from changes in MTBC's stock prices as well as changes in the forecasted revenues of the acquired businesses.
