“We are pleased to report record revenue of $34.1 million in the second quarter, a 74% year-over-year increase,” said A. Hadi Chaudhry, CareCloud’s Chief Executive Officer and President. “We are also proud to report $5.7 million in adjusted EBITDA, representing our seventeenth consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA.”
“In June we completed the medSR tuck-in acquisition, which provides specialty consulting services to hospitals and large healthcare groups, further expanding our addressable market growth opportunities,” said Hadi Chaudhry. “The businesses which became medSR (MedMatica Consulting Associates, Inc. and Santa Rosa Staffing, Inc.) have worked with over 100 hospitals and large practices over the last two years, and we now have employees with strong relationships with these potential clients to cross sell our SaaS healthcare solutions such as PrecisionBI and our revenue cycle management services.”
Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Revenue for the second quarter 2021 was a record $34.1 million, an increase of $14.5 million or 74% from the second quarter of 2020.
Bill Korn, Chief Financial Officer, commented “Revenue was a new record for the Company, 6% above our previous all-time high. Our annual revenue run rate is now $136 million, which is 29% above our 2020 revenue and 111% above our 2019 revenue. This is proof that our strategy of growing through a combination of organic growth and acquisitions continues to increase revenue significantly faster than the industry.”
The second quarter 2021 GAAP net loss was $227,000, as compared to a net loss of $4.8 million in the same period last year. The 2021 GAAP net loss reflects $3.1 million of non-cash depreciation and amortization expenses and $1.7 million of stock-based compensation. The GAAP net loss was $0.27 per share, based on the net loss attributable to common shareholders, which takes into account the preferred stock dividends declared during the quarter. “Our revenue grew by 74% from second quarter 2020, and our total operating expenses grew at a lower rate, 41% year-over-year, enabling us to reduce our GAAP net loss by 95% from second quarter 2020 to second quarter 2021,” noted Bill Korn.
Non-GAAP adjusted net income for second quarter 2021 was $4.5 million, or $0.31 per share, and is calculated using the end-of-period common shares outstanding. Non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share is $0.26, using the end-of-period shares outstanding plus common shares issuable upon exercise of in-the-money warrants and the vesting of outstanding restricted stock units.
Adjusted EBITDA for second quarter 2021 was $5.7 million, or 17% of revenue, compared to $191,000 in the same period last year. CareCloud’s adjusted EBITDA increased by approximately $5.5 million from Q2 2020, in large part due to the cost savings resulting from integrating the businesses the Company acquired during 2020. “Adjusted EBITDA was our second best quarter ever, and just $50,000 less than our record adjusted EBITDA set in fourth quarter of 2020,” stated Bill Korn.
Six Month 2021 Financial Results
Revenue for the first six months of 2021 was $63.8 million, an increase of 54% compared to $41.4 million in the first six months of 2020.
Bill Korn remarked, “Approximately 81% of our revenue for the first half of 2021 involved the use of our technology, including clients using our core technology suite, one component of our technology, or clients where we are providing IT services utilizing our technology processes and know-how. Another 8% of revenue came from clients where we are providing solely revenue cycle management services, 9% of revenue is from clients where we are managing their entire medical practice, and approximately 2% of revenue comes from other services.”
For the first six months of 2021, the Company’s GAAP net loss was $2.2 million, or $0.63 per share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $7.3 million in the first six months of 2020. Non-GAAP adjusted net income for the first six months of 2021 was $7.4 million, or $0.51 per share.
During this period, our adjusted EBITDA was $9.3 million, an increase of $8.4 million or 876% from $958,000 in the same period last year.
Cash Balances and Capital
As of June 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $9.5 million of cash. During the second quarter 2021, cash flow from operations was approximately $1.1 million. Second quarter results included a $4.0 million cash settlement to resolve a pre-existing matter from the purchase of CareCloud Corporation in 2020. The cost of the settlement was anticipated and entirely borne by the seller, who forfeited $4.0 million of Series A Preferred Stock from the acquisition consideration, which had been held in escrow since the original transaction. Without this one-time expense, cash flow from operations would have been similar to our adjusted EBITDA and our adjusted net income. Our net working capital on June 30, 2021 was approximately $8.0 million.
2021 Full Year Guidance
Based on our record-breaking second quarter revenue and our outlook for the second half of 2021, CareCloud is increasing our forward-looking revenue guidance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021:
For the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2021 Forward-Looking Guidance |
|
Revenue | $135 – $138 million |
Adjusted EBITDA | $22 – $25 million |
Bill Korn noted, “Our second quarter revenue surpassed expectations to set a new record, and we anticipate continued strong momentum during the second half of 2021. We have increased our full-year revenue guidance from a range of $133-137 million to a range of $135-138 million, at or above the midpoint of our prior guidance range. This represents growth of 28% to 31% over 2020 revenue. This includes organic growth from new clients as well as cross-selling new services to existing clients, and includes revenue from the medSR acquisition which occurred on June 1, 2021. We anticipate this will be our seventh consecutive year with annual revenue growth of 25% or more, a record few public companies have been able to achieve.”
“Adjusted EBITDA is still expected to be $22 to $25 million for full year 2021, growth of 103% to 131% 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. “Looking at our second quarter 2021 adjusted EBITDA, our revenue seasonality which always reduces first quarter adjusted EBITDA, and the cost reductions which are in place, we are comfortable reaffirming our $22 to $25 million full year adjusted EBITDA guidance.”
