Financial Results: Second Quarter 2024 Compared to
Second Quarter 2023
Revenues for the second quarter of 2024 increased by $2.4
million, or 3.4%, to $71.6 million, compared to $69.2 million for
the second quarter of 2023. Subscription revenues increased $2.5
million, or 3.8%, and professional services revenues declined by
$0.1 million, or 5.5%, compared to the second quarter of 2023.
Operating income was $4.4 million for the second quarter of
2024, up 10.1% from $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2023. The
improvement in operating income was primarily attributable to
increased revenues and an increase in capitalized labor associated
with software development activities, which were partially offset
by the $1.0 million charge associated with the bankruptcy of a
single customer as referenced above as well as increases in
software, labor costs, and amortization expenses.
Net income was $4.2 million in the second quarter of 2024, up
0.8% from $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2023, and EPS was
$0.14 per share (diluted) in the second quarter of 2024, up from
$0.13 per share (diluted) in the second quarter of 2023.
Adjusted EBITDA was $15.8 million for the second quarter of
2024, up 3.3% from $15.3 million in the second quarter of 2023.
A charge associated with the customer bankruptcy referenced
above negatively impacted operating income by $1.0 million, net
income by $0.8 million, EPS by $0.02 (diluted), and adjusted EBITDA
by $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2024.
At June 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and
marketable securities of $83.0 million. The Company does not have
any outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money. Capital
expenditures incurred during the second quarter of 2024 were $6.9
million.
Year-to-Date 2024 Compared to Year-to-Date 2023
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, revenues were $144.3
million, an increase of 4.5% over revenues of $138.1 million for
the first six months of 2023. Operating income for the first six
months of 2024 increased by 46.4% to $10.1 million, compared to
$6.9 million for the first six months of 2023. The increase in
operating income was primarily attributable to higher revenues, a
decrease in labor costs (primarily resulting from the absence of
restructuring charges incurred during the six months ended June 30,
2024 in connection with the Company's 2023 restructuring under a
single platform strategy), and an increase in capitalized labor
associated with software development activities. Operating income
was also impacted by higher expenses, including software, bad debt
related to the customer bankruptcy discussed above, amortization,
cloud hosting, general marketing, and travel expenses. Net income
for the first six months of 2024 increased to $9.4 million,
compared to $6.8 million for the first six months of 2023. Earnings
per share were $0.31 per share (diluted) for the first six months
of 2024, compared to $0.22 per share (diluted) for the first six
months of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA increased by 13.2% to $32.9 million
for the first six months of 2024, compared to $29.1 million for the
first six months of 2023.
Other Business Updates
On July 22, 2024, the Board approved a quarterly cash dividend
under the Company's dividend policy of $0.028 per share, payable on
August 16, 2024 to holders of record on August 5, 2024.
Financial Outlook for 2024
The Company is updating its guidance for 2024 for certain of the
measures set forth below. In addition, the Company is including
projected net income for 2024 in its guidance as set forth below.
For a reconciliation of projected adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP
financial measure defined later in this release, to projected net
income (the most comparable GAAP measure) for 2024, see the table

this release.
The Company’s guidance for 2024 as set forth above reflects the
Company’s assumptions regarding, among other things, expectations
for new sales and renewals, and assumes that general economic
conditions, including inflationary pressures, do not deteriorate.
This consolidated guidance does not include the impact of any
acquisitions that we may complete during 2024, gains or losses from
changes in the fair value of minority investments, or impairment of
long-lived assets.
“Second quarter 2024 revenues, operating income, and adjusted
EBITDA all showed year-over-year growth, which was achieved amidst
a couple of unique, one-time customer events presenting headwinds
in the quarter,” said Robert A. Frist, Jr., Chief Executive
Officer, HealthStream. “With strong sales at the end of the second
quarter and a solid sales pipeline, our confidence is reinforced in
finishing the year with sequential growth and within our guidance
range.”
A conference call with Robert A. Frist, Jr., Chief Executive
Officer, Scott A. Roberts, Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice
President, and Mollie Condra, Vice President of Investor Relations
and Communications, will be held on Tuesday, July 23, 2024, at 9:00
a.m. (ET). Participants may access the conference call live via

& Presentations.”
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release presents adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP
financial measure used by management in analyzing the Company’s
financial results and ongoing operational performance. In order to
better assess the Company’s financial results, management believes
that net income before interest, income taxes, stock-based
compensation, depreciation and amortization, and changes in fair
value of, including gains (losses) on the sale of, non-marketable
equity investments (“adjusted EBITDA”) is a useful measure for
evaluating the operating performance of the Company because
adjusted EBITDA reflects net income adjusted for certain GAAP
accounting, non-cash, and/or non-operating items which may not, in
any such case, fully reflect the underlying operating performance
of our business. In addition, as discussed below, for periods ended
on or prior to December 31, 2023, adjusted EBITDA excludes the
impact of the deferred revenue write-downs associated with fair
value accounting for acquired businesses. We believe that adjusted
EBITDA is useful to investors to assess the Company’s ongoing
operating performance and to compare the Company’s operating
performance between periods. In addition, certain short-term cash
incentive bonuses and performance-based equity awards are based on
the achievement of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in applicable bonus
and equity grant documentation) targets.
As previously disclosed, prior to the Company early adopting ASU
2021-08 effective January 1, 2022, following the completion of any
acquisition by the Company, the Company was required to record the
acquired deferred revenue at fair value as defined in GAAP, which
typically resulted in a write-down of the acquired deferred
revenue. In connection therewith, management determined that
including an adjustment in the definition of adjusted EBITDA for
the impact of the deferred revenue write-downs associated with fair
value accounting for businesses acquired prior to the January 1,
2022 effective date of the Company's adoption of ASU 2021-08 (the
“Pre-2022 Acquisitions”) provided useful information to investors
because the deferred revenue write-down recognized in periods after
any such Pre-2022 Acquisitions could, given the nature of this
non-cash accounting impact, cause our GAAP financial results during
such periods to not fully reflect our underlying operating
performance. Following the adoption of ASU 2021-08, contracts
acquired in an acquisition completed on or after January 1, 2022
have been measured as if the Company had originated the contract
(rather than the contract being measured at fair value) such that,
for such acquisitions, the Company no longer records deferred
revenue write-downs associated with acquired businesses. With
respect to periods ended on or prior to December 31, 2023, the
Company has included an adjustment in the calculation of adjusted
EBITDA for the impact of deferred revenue write-downs associated
with the Pre-2022 Acquisitions consistent with this prior
accounting standard, given the ongoing impact of such deferred
revenue on our financial results under GAAP over this time period.
With respect to periods beginning on and after January 1, 2024, the
Company no longer recognizes any deferred revenue write-downs
associated with the Pre-2022 Acquisitions under GAAP, and
accordingly such deferred revenue write-downs are not an adjustment
in connection with the calculation of adjusted EBITDA for periods
on and after January 1, 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not
be considered as a measure of financial performance under GAAP.
Because adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in
accordance with GAAP, adjusted EBITDA is susceptible to varying
calculations. Accordingly, adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not
be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies
and has limitations as an analytical tool.
This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered a
substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance,
which are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are
encouraged to review the reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA to net
income (the most comparable GAAP measure), which is set forth below
in this release.
