MTBC Reports Second Quarter 2020 Results, Reaffirms Guidance

 

Reaffirms Full-Year Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA Guidance with Implied Year-over-year Increases of Over 63% and 48%, Respectively

 

SOMERSET, N.J., August 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – MTBC, Inc. (the “Company” or “MTBC”) (Nasdaq: MTBC) (Nasdaq: MTBCP), a leading provider of proprietary, cloud-based healthcare IT solutions and services, today announced financial and operational results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020, while reaffirming its full-year 2020 guidance. The Company’s management will conduct a conference call with related slides today at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss these results and management’s outlook.

 

2020 Outlook Highlights:

 

  Forecasting record revenue and adjusted EBITDA for the second half of 2020
  Reaffirmed full-year revenue outlook of $105-$107 million, or 63%-66% growth over 2019
  Reaffirmed full-year adjusted EBITDA outlook of $12-$13 million, or 48%-60% growth year-over-year
  Our clients’ patient encounter volumes and charges have nearly returned to the pre-COVID levels of early Q1 2020

 

Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results:

 

  Revenue of $19.6 million, 17% growth over Q2 2019
  GAAP net loss of $4.8 million
  Adjusted EBITDA of $191,000

 

“During the first half of 2020, we closed the two largest acquisitions in our history, while simultaneously closing more new organic business by the mid-point of this year than during any prior full-year,” said Stephen Snyder, MTBC’s Chief Executive Officer. “As we supported our healthcare provider clients – the true heroes during this pandemic – we were pleased to grow our second quarter revenues year-over-year by 17%, while reporting our thirteenth quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA. We expect to increase both our full-year revenue and adjusted EBITDA by well over 50%, as compared to 2019.”

 

“During Q2, we continued to enhance our digital assets, including expanded telehealth, patient experience management tools, and robotic process automation. We also onboarded hundreds of talented team members who will help us continue to increase our market share,” said A. Hadi Chaudhry, MTBC’s President. “We see significant opportunities during the second half of the year and are focused on exiting the second half of the year with annualized revenues of more than $130 million and an adjusted EBITDA margin of nearly 20%.”

 

 

 

 

First Half 2020 Financial Results

 

“Revenue for the first half of 2020 was $41.4 million, an increase of 30% as compared to $31.8 million in the first half of 2019,” said Bill Korn, MTBC’s Chief Financial Officer. “We also signed new clients, including MTBC Force partnerships, which will yield annual recurring revenues of greater than $8 million, which is more than we signed during any prior full year.”

 

For the first half of 2020, the Company’s GAAP net loss was $7.3 million, or $1.07 per share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $1.1 million in the first half of 2019. GAAP net loss includes non-cash amortization and depreciation expense of $3.7 million, stock-based compensation expense of $3.2 million, transaction and integration costs of $1.1 million. It also includes $361,000 of impairment and unoccupied lease charges related to excess leased office space assumed during two recent acquisitions.

 

“Non-cash depreciation and amortization expense increased by approximately $2.1 million year-over-year, primarily as a result of our acquisition of CareCloud in January, and accounts for half our GAAP net loss,” said Bill Korn. “There is also one month of amortization expense for Meridian, which means that amortization in future quarters will increase. Most of the purchase price for our acquisitions is accounted for as goodwill or intangible assets. The intangible assets are amortized over four years. This amortization does not represent a cash expense, but is an important non-cash line item in our GAAP net income or loss.”

 

Bill Korn continued, “Our stock-based compensation increased by approximately $1.6 million year-over-year, driven in part by both our higher share price and grants we made to employees who joined us during 2020 as part of our CareCloud acquisition. We anticipate additional grants to employees from Meridian during the second half of the year. In addition, our first half of 2020 results included approximately $562,000 of transaction costs related to Meridian and CareCloud, and we incurred $538,000 of integration costs to achieve future efficiencies from acquisitions. This includes the cost of winding down subcontractors and reduction in force severance, as well as exiting from facilities we no longer need, as we utilize our technology and cost-effective employees offshore. We expect to see the benefit of these cost savings during the third and fourth quarters, as indicated by our full-year adjusted EBITDA outlook.”

 

Adjusted EBITDA for the first half of 2020 was $958,000, as compared to $2.7 million in the first half of 2019. Bill Korn noted, “Our first half 2020 revenue was reduced, since there were less routine doctor visits due to COVID-19. While we pursued the normal post-acquisition cost-cutting we always do, we did not reduce our investments in R&D or sales and marketing, and did not furlough or downsize our offshore team, choosing to place ourselves in a position to take advantage of growth opportunities. So the increase in our GAAP net loss and the reduction in our adjusted EBITDA was anticipated.”

 

Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results

 

Revenue for second quarter 2020 was $19.6 million, an increase of $2.8 million or 17% from the second quarter of 2019. Bill Korn noted: “Since approximately two-thirds of our revenues are directly tied to our clients’ revenue levels, the widespread COVID-19 lockdowns that reduced the number of patient encounters also negatively impacted our quarterly revenues. However, by July, we saw the weekly volume of patient visits return to within 6% of the weekly averages during January and February.”

MTBC’s second quarter 2020 GAAP net loss was $4.8 million, as compared to a net loss of $771,000 in the same period last year. The GAAP net loss reflects $2.4 million of non-cash depreciation and amortization expenses, $1.9 million of stock-based compensation, and $456,000 of integration and transaction costs related to recent acquisitions. The GAAP net loss was $0.65 per share, based on the net loss attributable to common shareholders, which takes into account the preferred stock dividends declared during the quarter.

 

Adjusted EBITDA for second quarter 2020 was $191,000, or 1% of revenue, compared to $1.1 million in the same period last year. This was our thirteenth consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA, despite the fact that doctor visits and our revenue were reduced due to COVID-19.

 

Bill Korn remarked, “We expect to see a significant increase in adjusted EBITDA during the third and fourth quarters. Nationwide, we expect to see higher levels of economic activity than we did in April and May, and with patient volumes closer to normal levels, our average revenue per provider will be higher than it was in the second quarter. During the third quarter, you will see a reduction in CareCloud’s expenses so that the business is adding to our overall profitability, while Meridian will be neutral. During fourth quarter, Meridian will be accretive to profits, and CareCloud will continue to achieve additional cost savings, so expect as big an increase in adjusted EBITDA from third to fourth quarter as you’ll see from second to third quarter.”

 

Cash Balance and Capital

 

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had approximately $12.5 million of cash.

 

During July 2020, the Company raised net proceeds of $25.6 million by issuing approximately 1.1 million shares of its non-convertible redeemable Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock is perpetual, trades on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker MTBCP, pays monthly cash dividends at the rate of 11% per annum and can be redeemed at the Company’s option at $25.00 per share starting in November 2020.

 

2020 Full Year Guidance

 

MTBC previously provided and reaffirmed the following forward-looking guidance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020:

 

For the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2020
Forward-Looking Guidance
Revenue   $105 – $107 million 
Adjusted EBITDA   $12 – $13 million 

 

The Company recently raised its full year 2020 revenue guidance to $105 to $107 million, which represents year-over-year growth of approximately 65% — almost twice as high as its 6-year CAGR through 2019 of 35%. “We believe that we are on track to generate $130 to $135 million in revenue on an annualized basis during the second half of 2020. Meridian and CareCloud account for the majority of the growth and we also signed more new business during the first half of 2020 than we signed in all of 2019,” said Bill Korn. “As this new business goes live, it will contribute to our record revenue during the second half of 2020,” he added. “There is no way to estimate the impact that COVID-19 will have on the U.S. economy during the second half of the year, but even our most conservative assumption calls for revenue growth of at least 60% during 2020.”

“We expect adjusted EBITDA to be $12 to $13 million for full year 2020, representing growth of 48% to 60% over 2019 adjusted EBITDA, as the Company integrates the Meridian and CareCloud acquisitions. The actions we have already taken have significantly reduced CareCloud’s operating expenses, and should increase the adjusted EBITDA contribution for the second half, and we have started on this process with Meridian in parallel, consistent with previous acquisitions,” said Bill Korn.

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.

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, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, 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, integration costs, transaction costs, impairment and unoccupied lease charges, and changes in contingent consideration.

 

Management defines “non-GAAP adjusted operating income” as the sum of GAAP operating income (loss) before stock-based compensation expense, amortization of purchased intangible assets, integration costs, transaction costs, impairment and unoccupied lease charges, and changes in contingent consideration, and “non-GAAP adjusted operating margin” as non-GAAP adjusted operating income divided by net 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 (income) expense, integration costs, transaction costs, impairment and unoccupied lease charges, 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:

 

Foreign exchange / other expense. Other expense is excluded because foreign currency gains and losses and other non-operating expenses are 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 recorded.

 

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 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 recorded.

 

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.

 

Impairment and unoccupied lease charges. Impairment charges primarily represent remaining lease and termination fees associated with discontinued facilities. Unoccupied lease charges are rent and other costs associated with space that is not occupied, which the Company has placed on the market for sublease. 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 certain 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 the forecasted revenues of the acquired businesses.

 

Tax expense (benefit) related to goodwill. Income tax expense (benefit) resulting from the amortization of goodwill related to our acquisitions represents a charge (benefit) to record the tax effect 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.
