MTBC Reports Third Quarter 2020 Results with Record Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA
Reaffirms Full-Year Outlook
SOMERSET, N.J., November 9, 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 third quarter ended September 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.
Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results:
● | Record revenue of $31.6 million, 88% growth over Q3 2019 | |
● | GAAP net loss of $1.7 million | |
● | Record adjusted EBITDA of $4.2 million | |
● | Record adjusted net income of $3.5 million or $0.27 per share |
Year-to-Date 2020 Financial Results:
● | Revenue of $73.1 million, a 50% increase from YTD 2019 | |
● | GAAP net loss of $9.0 million | |
● | Adjusted EBITDA of $5.2 million | |
● | Adjusted net income of $3.5 million or $0.27 per share |
“We are pleased to report record quarterly revenue of $31.6 million and adjusted EBITDA of $4.2 million, representing year-over-year growth of 88% and 62% respectively,” said Stephen Snyder, MTBC’s Chief Executive Officer.
“As we’ve remained focused on empowering healthcare providers and health systems with our technology-enabled solutions, we’ve continued to accelerate our growth. We’ve already closed more than twice as much new organic business year-to-date than during all of 2019 and we’ve closed the two largest acquisitions in our history this year. As a result, we expect to exit 2020 with annualized revenues of approximately $130 million, while operating with an adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 20%,” said Snyder.
Nine Month 2020 Financial Results
Revenue for the first nine months of 2020 was $73.1 million, an increase of 50% as compared to $48.7 million in the first nine months of 2019.
For the first nine months of 2020, the Company’s GAAP net loss was $9.0 million, or $1.53 per share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $1.2 million in the first nine months of 2019. During this same period, our adjusted EBITDA was $5.2 million. GAAP net loss includes non-cash amortization and depreciation expense of $6.9 million, stock-based compensation expense of $5.0 million, and transaction and integration costs of $1.7 million.
“The increase in the net loss primarily reflects non-cash items related to our acquisitions of Meridian and CareCloud,” said Bill Korn, MTBC’s Chief Financial Officer. “Depreciation and amortization expense increased by approximately $4.5 million year-over-year, and accounts for approximately 77% of our GAAP net loss. Stock-based compensation increased by approximately $2.6 million year-over-year for grants made to employees who joined us as part of the acquisitions. We incurred approximately $1.7 million of transaction and integration costs and $681,000 of charges for facilities we no longer need. We expect to see the benefit of these cost savings during the fourth quarter, as indicated by our full-year adjusted EBITDA outlook.”
Adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of 2020 was $5.2 million, as compared to $5.3 million in the first nine months of 2019. Bill Korn noted, “Doctor visits, which declined during the second quarter, have returned to near-normal levels. We anticipate continued improvement in our adjusted EBITDA as we continue to integrate Meridian and CareCloud and streamline our associated operating expenses.”
Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results
Revenue for third quarter 2020 was $31.6 million, an increase of $14.8 million or 88% from the third quarter of 2019, which set a new record for MTBC.
MTBC’s third quarter 2020 GAAP net loss was $1.7 million, as compared to a net loss of $138,000 in the same period last year. The GAAP net loss reflects $3.2 million of non-cash depreciation and amortization expenses, $1.8 million of stock-based compensation, and $609,000 of integration and transaction costs related to recent acquisitions. The GAAP net loss was $0.46 per share, based on the net loss attributable to common shareholders, which takes into account the preferred stock dividends declared during the quarter.
Non-GAAP adjusted net income for third quarter 2020 was a record $3.5 million, an increase of $1.3 million or 58% compared to adjusted net income of $2.2 million in the same period last year. Non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share was $0.27 per share, an increase of $0.09 compared to $0.18 per share during third quarter 2019, and non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.19. Adjusted earnings per share are computed using end-of-period shares outstanding, and adjusted diluted earnings per share includes common shares issuable upon exercise of in-the-money warrants and vesting of outstanding restricted stock units.
MTBC now has a significant number of outstanding stock warrants which are exercisable and in-the-money, but are excluded under GAAP from earnings per share calculations as the shares are considered antidilutive. To assist in evaluating the effect of these prospective shares, the Company has introduced a new measure, adjusted diluted earnings per share. The sellers of Meridian and CareCloud were granted a total of 4.25 million warrants to purchase shares of MTBC’s common stock at prices between $7.50 and $10.00 per share, with a two-year life for the $7.50 warrants and a three-year life for the $10.00 warrants. If all of these warrants were exercised, MTBC would receive approximately $34 million of cash proceeds.

Adjusted EBITDA for third quarter 2020 was $4.2 million, a new record, which was an increase of 62% and represents 13% of revenue, compared to $2.6 million in the same period last year. This was our fourteenth consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA.
Bill Korn remarked, “The increase in adjusted EBITDA to record levels during the first full quarter after a major acquisition is a huge accomplishment. It reflects a combination of cost savings from CareCloud, which was purchased in January and Meridian, which was purchased in June, and the return of patient visits to near pre-Covid-19 levels.”
“We expect to see another significant increase in adjusted EBITDA during the fourth quarter, as cost savings from actions we have already taken to further reduce Meridian’s expenses take effect. We can’t predict the course of Covid-19, but patient volumes to date in the fourth quarter are consistent with third quarter, and assuming no major change between now and the end of the year, we anticipate an increase in adjusted EBITDA from third to fourth quarter which is similar to the increase we saw in third quarter.”
Cash Balance and Capital
As of September 30, 2020, the Company had approximately $22.8 million of cash, and nothing drawn on its $10 million revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank.
2020 Full Year Guidance
MTBC previously provided 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’s full year 2020 revenue guidance of $105 to $107 million represents year-over-year growth of approximately 65%, bringing its 3-year CAGR through 2020 to 49%. “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,” said Bill Korn. “Despite the unknowns related to any additional impact that Covid-19 may have on the U.S. economy during the last two months of the year, we still believe that we will grow our revenues, year-over-year, by at least 63% 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 both Meridian’s and CareCloud’s operating expenses, and should lead to an even higher adjusted EBITDA contribution for the last quarter of 2020,” 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.
Adjusted EBITDA
Set forth below is a reconciliation of our “adjusted EBITDA” to our GAAP net loss.

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.
12 |
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.
Restructuring, impairment and unoccupied lease charges. Restructuring and 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.
