SOMERSET, N.J., May 06, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CareCloud, Inc. (the “Company” or “CareCloud”) (Nasdaq: MTBC) (Nasdaq: MTBCP), a leader in healthcare technology solutions for medical practices and health systems nationwide, today announced financial and operational results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021. 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.
Highlights
- Revenue of $29.8 million, 36% growth over Q1 2020
- GAAP net loss declined to $2.0 million, compared to a net loss of $2.5 million in Q1 2020
- Adjusted net income of $2.9 million, or $0.20 per share
- Adjusted EBITDA of $3.7 million, 381% increase from Q1 2020
“We are pleased to report a strong start to 2021, including a 36% year-over-year increase in first quarter revenue to $29.8 million, driven in large part by integration of our 2020 acquisitions,” said A. Hadi Chaudhry, CareCloud’s Chief Executive Officer and President. “We are also proud to report a 381% increase in adjusted EBITDA year-over-year, representing our sixteenth consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA.”
“This is our first financial report since we officially changed our name from MTBC, Inc. to CareCloud, Inc.,” said Chaudhry. “The CareCloud name reflects both our legacy and our future as a technology-first leader in the industry. As we look ahead into the future, we are excited to continue to make bold moves in pursuit of our growing customer base and expansive addressable market.”
First Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Revenue for the first quarter 2021 was $29.8 million, an increase of $7.9 million or 36% from the first quarter of 2020. Bill Korn, CareCloud’s Chief Financial Officer noted: “First quarter results always include an element of seasonality due to the early-year impact annual patient deductibles have on the 65% of our revenues tied to the money collected by the doctors who are our clients. The increasing contribution from organic revenue growth in the first quarter included revenue from new clients as well as additional revenue from cross-selling existing clients, both of which will provide a boost to coming quarters as well.”
The first quarter 2021 GAAP net loss was $2.0 million, as compared to a net loss of $2.5 million in the same period last year. The GAAP net loss reflects $2.8 million of non-cash depreciation and amortization expenses and $1.3 million of stock-based compensation. The GAAP net loss was $0.36 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 first quarter 2021 was $2.9 million, or $0.20 per share, and is calculated using the end-of-period common shares outstanding. Non-GAAP adjusted diluted net income per share is $0.17, using end-of-period shares outstanding plus common shares issuable upon exercise of in-the-money warrants and vesting of outstanding restricted stock units.
Adjusted EBITDA for first quarter 2021 was $3.7 million, or 12% of revenue, compared to $767,000 in the same period last year. CareCloud’s adjusted EBITDA increased by approximately $2.9 million from Q1 2020, in large part due to the cost savings after integrating the businesses the Company acquired during 2020.
Cash Balance and Capital
As of March 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $21.0 million of cash.
2021 Full Year Guidance
CareCloud previously provided the following forward-looking guidance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021:
For the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2021
Forward-Looking Guidance
Revenue $133 – $137 million
Adjusted EBITDA $22 – $25 million
Bill Korn noted that “our first quarter revenue is in line with our projections to achieve full year 2021 revenue of approximately $133 to $137 million, which represents growth of 27% to 30% over 2020 revenue. This includes organic growth from new clients as well as cross-selling new services to existing clients. The year-over-year guidance also reflects the fact that revenue from the Meridian acquisition did not start until mid-June 2020.”
“We anticipate this will be our fifth consecutive year with annual revenue growth of 25% or more, a record few public companies have been able to achieve,” Bill Korn continued. “Revenue guidance is based on management’s expectations regarding revenues from existing clients and new clients acquired through organic growth and/or tuck-ins, but excludes the effects of any additional, material acquisitions.”
“Adjusted EBITDA is still expected to be $22 to $25 million for full year 2021, growth of 102% to 130% over 2020 adjusted EBITDA, as the Company realizes the benefits of cost-savings and a full-year of additional scale from the CareCloud and Meridian acquisitions in 2020,” said Bill Korn. “Between the revenue seasonality and the cost reductions which are in place, we are comfortable reaffirming our $22 to $25 million full year adjusted EBITDA guidance.”
