“We are excited to report record revenue of $38.3 million in the third quarter, a $6.7 million year-over-year increase,” said A. Hadi Chaudhry, CareCloud’s Chief Executive Officer and President. “We are on track to achieve another year with 30% or more year-over-year revenue growth while we more than double our adjusted EBITDA. That would make 2021 our fifth consecutive year with over 25% annual revenue growth. We achieved these record results through a combination of organic growth and our acquisition of medSR on June 1, 2021, as well as our relentless focus on reducing costs in our acquired companies to improve our operating efficiencies.”
“We are very proud to report positive GAAP net income of $1.5 million this quarter, in addition to a record $6.7 million in adjusted EBITDA, representing our eighteenth consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA,” continued Hadi Chaudhry. “We are pleased to give investors the opportunity to invest in a company achieving both rapid growth and profitability.”
Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Revenue for the third quarter 2021 was a record $38.3 million, an increase of $6.7 million or 21% from the third quarter of 2020.
Bill Korn, Chief Financial Officer, commented “Revenue was a new record for the Company, 12% above our previous all-time high, set last quarter. Our annualized revenue run rate is now $150 million, which is 43% above our 2020 revenue and 133% above our 2019 revenue. This is proof that our strategy of growing through a combination of organic and strategic growth continues to allow us to grow revenue significantly faster than the industry.”
Third quarter 2021 GAAP net income was $1.5 million, as compared to a net loss of $1.7 million in the same period last year and a net loss of $227,000 in second quarter 2021. “While the management team looks at adjusted EBITDA and cash flow from operations as the primary indicators of whether our business is growing in a sustainable way, achieving positive GAAP profitability of well over $1 million this quarter is a great milestone showing our progress,” remarked Bill Korn.
GAAP net loss was $0.15 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 2021 was $6.1 million, or $0.41 per share, and is calculated using the end-of-period common shares outstanding. “Non-GAAP adjusted net income exceeds the quarterly dividend paid to preferred shareholders, which is a metric investors often pay attention to,” Bill Korn noted. “Since non-GAAP adjusted net income excludes non-cash expenses like depreciation and amortization, it is a good indicator that our steady-state operating cash flow exceeds our dividend.”
Adjusted EBITDA for third quarter 2021 was $6.7 million, or 17% of revenue, compared to $4.2 million in the same period last year. CareCloud’s adjusted EBITDA increased by approximately $2.5 million from Q3 2020, in large part due to the cost savings resulting from integrating the businesses the Company acquired during 2020. “Adjusted EBITDA set a new record, growing by 58% from third quarter last year, 18% from our last quarter and 17% from our previous record,” stated Bill Korn.
Nine Month 2021 Financial Results
Revenue for the first nine months of 2021 was $102.1 million, an increase of 40% compared to $73.1 million in the first nine months of 2020. Revenue for nine months of 2021 was just $3.0 million less than full-year revenue for all of 2020, and was $37.7 million greater than full-year revenue for 2019.
Bill Korn remarked, “Approximately 82% of our year-to-date revenue involved the use of our technology, including clients using our core technology suite (approximately 50% of our revenue), clients using one or more components of our technology (approximately 22% of revenue), or clients where we are providing IT services utilizing our technology processes and know-how (approximately 10% of our revenue). Another 7% 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 nine months of 2021, the Company’s GAAP net loss was $686,000, compared to a GAAP net loss of $9.0 million in the first nine months of 2020. GAAP net loss per share was $0.77, based on the net loss attributable to common shareholders.
Non-GAAP adjusted net income for the first nine months of 2021 was $13.5 million or $0.91 per share, an increase of $10.0 million over adjusted net income of $3.5 million in the first nine months of 2020.
During this period, our adjusted EBITDA was $16.0 million, an increase of $10.8 million or 210% from $5.2 million in the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA for nine months for 2021 is $5.1 million greater than full-year 2020 and $7.9 million greater than full year 2019, reflecting the cost savings from previous acquisitions.
Cash Balances and Capital
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $9.3 million of cash, including restricted cash. During the third quarter 2021, cash flow from operations was approximately $5.1 million. Our net working capital on September 30, 2021 was approximately $9.9 million.
On September 30, 2021, the Company had approximately 5,295,000 shares of non-convertible Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. These shares pay monthly cash dividends of approximately $0.23 per share, but they are fully redeemable at any time the Company chooses. Bill Korn commented “Our Preferred Stock has been a great way to finance our rapid growth without restrictive covenants. Now that it is redeemable, management is evaluating several options to start redeeming the Preferred in ways that are accretive to common stockholders and prepare us for the next stage of our growth.”
