"We are pleased to report a strong second quarter in 2024, marked by significant organic growth and strategic advancements,” stated Dan Matlow, CEO of VitalHub. “With our second quarter revenue reaching $16.2 million, a 24% increase from the previous year, and our Adjusted EBITDA(2) rising to $4.2 million, a 41% increase from the previous year, we continue to build on our strong foundation. Our gross margin remained robust at 81%, reflecting our ongoing commitment to operational excellence and cost management. Net income before income taxes increased to $1.4 million, an 86% increase from the previous year. This quarter also saw our Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR)(1-2) grow to $51.3 million, up 25% year-over-year, which underscores the robustness of our business model and the scalability of our solutions. We concluded the quarter with a solid cash position of $71.6 million, enabling us to pursue both organic growth and strategic acquisitions effectively. Subsequent to the quarter's end, we announced a definitive agreement to acquire MedCurrent Corporation (“MedCurrent”), a leader in Clinical Decision Support. This acquisition is a testament to our commitment to integrating cutting-edge technology solutions that enhance healthcare delivery and support our strategic expansion. MedCurrent's innovative platform, OrderWise, which leverages artificial intelligence to optimize clinical decisions at the point of care, aligns perfectly with our aim to reduce healthcare costs and improve patient outcomes.”

“Looking ahead, VitalHub has created a solid platform on which we can continue to build. Our strategy of operational excellence, coupled with disciplined cash management, positions us well to capitalize on emerging opportunities and navigate future challenges in the healthcare technology sector. We are excited about our future prospects and remain committed to driving innovation, enhancing customer value, and expanding our market leadership."
