Fourth Quarter 2016 Financial Results:

Full Year 2016 Financial Results:

SOMERSET, N.J. — (Marketwired) — March 31, 2017 - Medical Transcription Billing, Corp. (NASDAQ: MTBC) (NASDAQ: MTBCP), a leading provider of proprietary, cloud-based electronic health records, practice management and mHealth solutions, today announces financial and operational results for fiscal year 2016 and fourth quarter 2016 and provides a review of its most recent and largest acquisition to-date. We will conduct a conference call later today, Friday, March 31, 2017, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss these results and management’s outlook for future financial and operational performance.

“We are pleased to announce 65% revenue growth over the fourth quarter of 2015 as well as 65% growth over the third quarter of 2016, and our third consecutive quarter of quarter-over-quarter revenue growth,” says Mahmud Haq, MTBC’s Chairman and CEO. He continued, “We are greatly encouraged by the growth opportunities provided by our recent acquisition and look forward to delivering strong revenue and EBITDA growth in 2017.”

As previously announced, on October 3, 2016 MTBC achieved a corporate milestone in its acquisition of substantially all of the assets of MediGain, LLC, a Texas-based medical billing company, and its subsidiary, Millennium Practice Management, LLC, a New Jersey-based medical billing company (together, “MediGain”). Expected to be accretive to shareholders in 2017, the acquisition reflects the strategic nature of MTBC’s acquisition-based growth strategy.

Fourth quarter 2016 financial results

Revenues for three months ended December 31, 2016 were $8.8 million, compared to $5.4 million in the same period last year, which represents 65% revenue growth over the fourth quarter of 2015. The increase was primarily a result of the MediGain acquisition, which occurred on October 3, 2016.

The fourth quarter 2016 GAAP net loss was $4.0 million, or 46% of net revenue, compared to a GAAP net loss of $802,000 for the same period last year. The increase in the net loss is primarily the result of planned, short-term increases in operating expenses related to the acquisition and integration of MediGain. According to Bill Korn, Chief Financial Officer, “Fourth quarter revenue increased by $3.5 million or 65%, while direct operating costs increased from $2.4 million in the fourth quarter 2015 to $6.1 million in the fourth quarter 2016, and general and administrative expenses increased from $2.6 million to $4.3 million.”

“On October 3, 2016, the day we purchased MediGain, we began reducing expenses. For example, MediGain’s four subcontractor firms represented $750,000 of the fourth quarter 2016 direct operating expense, and as of today, we have transitioned all work from these subcontractor firms to our employees. These transitions significantly reduced our operating expense, while improving performance. We have also been deploying our experienced team and technology to reduce personnel and related operating expense. Finally, we have reduced the facilities costs associated with MediGain by approximately 70%.”

The GAAP net loss for fourth quarter was $0.42 per share, calculated using the net loss attributable to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

Non-GAAP adjusted net income of fourth quarter was ($1.3 million), or ($0.12) per share, compared to the non-GAAP adjusted net income of $121,000 in the same period last year. Non-GAAP adjusted net income per share is calculated using the end-of-period common shares outstanding, including shares which are part of contingent consideration.

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter was ($814,000) or (9.2%) of revenue, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $312,000, or 5.8% of revenue, in the same period last year.

Full year 2016 financial results

MTBC’s revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016 were $24.5 million, compared to $23.1 million last year, an increase of 6%.

GAAP net loss for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $8.8 million, 36% of net revenue, or $0.95 per share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $4.7 million last year. The net loss for 2016 includes $5.1 million of non-cash depreciation and amortization expense, primarily the result of amortizing purchased intangible assets.

The increase in the net loss is primarily the result of an increase in operating expenses due to the acquisition of MediGain during the fourth quarter of 2016.

Non-GAAP adjusted net income for the year ended December 31, 2016 was ($2.0 million), or ($0.19) per share, compared to the non-GAAP adjusted net income of ($1.4 million) last year.

Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2016 was ($605,000), or (2.5%) of revenue, compared to adjusted EBITDA of ($675,000), or (2.9%) of revenue, last year.

“The difference of $8.2 million between adjusted EBITDA and the GAAP net loss in the year 2016 reflects $5.1 million of non-cash amortization and depreciation expense, $1.9 million of stock-based compensation, $1.0 million of integration and transaction costs related to recent acquisitions, $197,000 of provision for taxes, and $646,000 of net interest expense, offset by a $716,000 decrease in the contingent consideration liability,” says Bill Korn. Management believes that our non-GAAP metrics are closer to reflecting our cash flow, and we will focus on driving positive adjusted EBITDA during 2017.

2017 Full Year Guidance

MTBC is providing the following forward-looking guidance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017:

The company anticipates full year 2017 revenue of approximately $30 to $31 million, which represents growth of 22% to 27% over 2016 revenue. We expect adjusted EBITDA to be $2.0 to $2.5 million for full year 2017, anticipating that the first quarter will be slightly negative due to planned integration expenses but each successive quarter will be positive and reflect growth.

Cash Balance and Liquidity

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had $3.5 million in cash and a working capital deficiency of approximately $7.4 million. At year end, the Company’s stockholders’ equity was approximately $7.1 million and its accumulated deficit was approximately $17.9 million. In order to satisfy its existing obligations, the Company believes additional funding will be necessary, which might be in the form of sales of additional shares of its Series A Preferred Stock, its common stock, or some other instrument. The Company may in the future seek additional capital from public or private offerings of its capital stock or it may elect to borrow additional amounts under new credit lines or from other sources. If the Company issues equity or debt securities to raise additional funds, its existing stockholders may experience dilution, it may incur significant financing costs, and the new equity or debt securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of its existing stockholders.

Management concluded that without additional financing there was substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within twelve months after the date the financial statements were issued. The audit report included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K will contain a going concern emphasis-of-matter paragraph.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

TO COMPARABLE GAAP MEASURES

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” to our GAAP net loss.

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” to our GAAP net loss and GAAP net loss per share.

For purposes of determining non-GAAP adjusted net income per share, we used the number of common shares outstanding on December 31, 2016 and 2015 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.

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 uses adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted net income to provide an understanding of aspects of operating results before the impact of investing and financing charges and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA may be useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance and liquidity because this measure excludes non-cash expenses as well as expenses pertaining to investing or financing transactions. Management defines “adjusted EBITDA” as the sum of GAAP net income (loss) before provision for (benefit from) income taxes, net interest expense, other (income) expense, stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, amortization of purchased intangible assets, integration costs, transaction costs, and changes in contingent consideration.

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 (income) expense, transaction costs, integration costs, changes in contingent consideration, any tax impact related to these preceding items and income tax expense related to goodwill, and “non-GAAP adjusted net income per share” as non-GAAP adjusted net income divided by common shares outstanding at the end of the period, including the shares which were issued but are subject to forfeiture and 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 (income) expense – net. Other (income) expense 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 unrelated to our performance during the period in which the gains and losses are realized.

Stock-based compensation expense. Stock-based compensation expense is excluded because this is primarily 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. Stock-based compensation expense includes customer incentives paid in stock and related fees, as well as cash-settled awards based on changes in the stock price.

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.

Transaction costs. Transaction costs are upfront costs related to acquisitions and related transactions, such as brokerage fees, pre-acquisition accounting costs and legal fees, and other upfront costs related to specific transactions. 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.

Integration costs. Integration costs are severance payments for certain employees relating to our acquisitions and exit costs related to terminating leases and other contractual agreements. Accordingly, 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 price as well as changes in the forecasted revenues of the acquired businesses.

Tax expense related to goodwill. Income tax expense resulting from the amortization of goodwill related to our acquisitions represents a charge to record the tax expense resulting from amortizing goodwill over 15 years for tax purposes. Goodwill is not amortized for GAAP reporting. This expense is not anticipated to result in a cash payment.
