2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Accounting Standards Recently Adopted

The Company has adopted

In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”("ASU")2016-09,2021-08Improvements,Business Combinations (Topic805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The new guidance requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,effective January 1, 2017. As a result ofbe recognized and measured by the adoption, the Company recorded an adjustment to retained earnings of approximately $2.2 million to recognize deferred tax assets associated with previous excess tax benefits on stock based compensation that had not been previously recognized because the related tax deduction had not reduced income taxes payable. The Company elected to continue to estimate expected forfeitures rather than account for them as they occur, and to prospectively reflect the presentation of excess tax benefitsacquirer on the statement of cash flows as an operating activity. In addition, effective January 1, 2017, excess tax benefits or deficiencies from equity based awards is reflectedacquisition date in the statement of income as a component of the provision for income taxes.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-04,Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,which simplifies the measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. With the elimination of Step 2, entities will measure goodwill for impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unitaccordance with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, only to the extent of the carrying value of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The Company elected to early adopt ASU2017-04effective January 1, 2017 and is required to apply the new guidance on a prospective basis. The adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company anticipates the new guidance will make the goodwill impairment evaluation process more efficient and cost effective.

Accounting Standards Not Yet AdoptedCodification ("ASC") 606,

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedesas if it had originated the revenue recognition requirementscontracts. This approach differs from the previous requirement to measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in Topic 605,a business combination at fair value. The standard is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022 and early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted this ASU on January 1, 2022, and the impact of the new standard is dependent on the magnitude of future acquisitions but has not had a material impact to date. The standard does not impact contract assets or liabilities from business combinations that occurred prior to the adoption date.

3. REVENUE RECOGNITION AND SALES COMMISSIONS

Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics

Revenues are recognized when control of the Accounting Standards Codification. The updated guidance states that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services is transferred to customersthe customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entityCompany expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring those goods or services.

Revenue is recognized based on the following five step model:

Identification of the contract with a customer

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract

Determination of the transaction price

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation

The guidance also provides for additional disclosures with respect tofollowing table represents revenues and cash flows arisingdisaggregated by revenue source (in thousands). Sales taxes are excluded from contracts with customers. The standard will be effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and the Company plans to adopt the standard using the modified retrospective approach effective January 1, 2018. The Company is in the processrevenues.

HEALTHSTREAM, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized a reduction of $44,000 and a charge of $96,000 in impairment losses on receivables and contract assets arising from the Company's contracts with customers, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $0.4 million and $0.1 million in impairment losses on receivables and contract assets arising from the Company’s contracts with customers, respectively.

 

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (continued)Deferred revenue represents contract liabilities that are recorded when cash payments are received or are due in advance of our satisfaction of performance obligations. During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized revenues of approximately $39.9 million and $39.4 million, respectively, from amounts included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the respective periods. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized $67.9 million and $59.3 million of revenue from amounts included in deferred revenues at the beginning of the respective periods. As of September 30, 2022, approximately $473 million of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations under contracts with customers. We expect to recognize revenue related to approximately 44% of these remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, with the remaining amounts recognized thereafter.

 

Sales Commissions

Sales commissions earned by our sales force are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Under ASC 606, costs to acquire contracts with customers, such as the initial sales commission payment and associated payroll taxes, are capitalized in the period a customer contract is entered into and are amortized consistent with the transfer of the goods or services to the customer over the expected period of benefit. Capitalized contract costs are included in deferred commissions in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The expected period of benefit is the contract term, except when the capitalized commission is expected to provide economic benefit to the Company for a period longer than the contract term, such as for new customer or incremental sales where renewals are expected and renewal commissions are not commensurate with initial commissions. Non-commensurate commissions are amortized over the greater of the contract term or technological obsolescence period of approximately three years. The Company has not completed its calculationrecorded amortization of the financial impactdeferred commissions of the Company’s adoption of this accounting standard on its future consolidated financial statements, but does anticipate adjustments to retained earnings upon adoption for both revenue recognitionapproximately $2.8 million and sales commissions.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-01,Financial Instruments – Overall (Sub Topic825-10), which addresses certain aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The guidance will, among other things, require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The standard will be effective$2.4 million for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017,three months ended September 30, 2022 and early adoption is permitted for only limited aspects of such guidance. The Company expects to adopt this ASU on January 1, 2018,2021, and is currently reviewing this standard to assess the impact on its future consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-02,Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize assets$7.8 million and liabilities for most leases. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee is not expected to significantly change under such guidance; however, the Company is currently reviewing this standard to assess the impact on its future consolidated financial statements. The standard will be effective$6.9 million for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, nine months ended September 30, 2022 and early adoption2021, respectively, which is permitted. The Company expects to adopt this ASU on January 1, 2019,included in sales and is currently evaluatingmarketing expenses in the impact that adoptionaccompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.Income.

3.4. INCOME TAXES

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities measured at tax rates that will be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.

The Company computes its interim period provision for income taxes by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date pretax income or loss and adjusts the provision for discrete tax items recorded in the period. During the three months ended September 30, 20172022 and 2016,2021, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of approximately $1.7$1.3 million and $461,000,$0.2 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 2022 and 2016,2021, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of approximately $3.1$2.7 million and $2.5$2.0 million, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was 22% and 25%for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 2022 and 2016 was 33.7% and 38.0%2021, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded excess tax benefits of approximately $428,000 as a component of the provision for income taxes. The Company’s effective tax rate primarily reflects the statutory corporate income tax rate, the net effect of state taxes, foreign income taxes, and the effect of various permanent tax differences. The Company recognizes excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies associated with stock-based awards as a component of its provision for income taxes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded discrete tax benefits of $16,000, which consisted primarily of a $0.3 million tax benefit associated with a nontaxable gain of $0.9 million recognized from the change in fair value of our previously held minority interest in CloudCME, LLC as well as a $0.1 million tax benefit for changes in estimated tax credits. This tax benefit was partially offset by $0.3 million of tax expense related to uncertain tax positions and $0.1 million of excess tax deficiencies associated with stock-based awards. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded discrete tax expense of $0.2 million related to purchase accounting adjustments, the impact of a state tax rate changes enacted during the period, and changes in estimated tax credits.

6.EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of potentially dilutive common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares are composed of incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and RSUs subject to vesting. The dilutive effect of common equivalent shares is included in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. The total number of common equivalent shares excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share, due to their anti-dilutive effect or contingent performance conditions, was approximately 31,000205,000 and 21,00026,000 for the three months ended September 30, 20172022 and 2016,2021, respectively, and approximately 68,000217,000 and 42,00095,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 2022 and 2016,2021, respectively.

The excess purchase price over the fair values of net tangible and intangible assets was recorded as goodwill. The fair values of tangible and identifiable intangible assets, deferred revenue, and other liabilities assumed were based on management’s estimates and assumptions. The goodwill balance was primarily attributed to the assembled workforce, additional market opportunities from offering MAI’s products, and expected synergies from integrating MAI with other products or other combined functional areas within the Company. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company determined that a portion of the acquired accounts receivable required an adjustment to net realizable value and a portion of the assumed liabilities would not be satisfied and therefore recorded a measurement period adjustment, which on a net basis, increased goodwill by approximately $533,000. The measurement period adjustment has no effect on current period or prior period earnings. The goodwill balance, including the measurement period adjustment, is deductible for U.S. income tax purposes. The net tangible assets include deferred revenue, which was adjusted down from a book value at the acquisition date of $8.3 million to an estimated fair value of $3.7 million. The $4.6 million write-down of deferred revenue will result in lower revenues than would have otherwise been recognized for such services.

We acquired Morrisey Associates, Inc. (“MAI”),COVID-19 Pandemic and Other Recent Developments

While the COVID-19 pandemic persists and remains a Chicago, Illinois based company which provides credentialingcause of uncertainty and privileging softwarepotential volatility, public health conditions related to the pandemic have generally stabilized at the current time in the United States, and the impact of the pandemic on general economic conditions in the United States appears to have decreased. As the inflow of COVID patients with respect to healthcare professionals,organizations has become more manageable, certain areas of our business, such as our compliance and learning solutions, have begun to return to and, in August 2016. Thesome cases, even eclipse pre-pandemic norms. However, other parts of our business have continued to be negatively impacted by the ongoing impacts of the pandemic as well as current economic conditions. One of the more pronounced after-effects for our healthcare customers involves staffing challenges, including labor shortages and increased labor and staffing costs. In some instances, we believe that the pressures associated with these challenges continue to result in delayed sales for certain of our products, particularly those that are more elective in nature. However, we have begun to observe an increase in sales engagement with customers through both in-person and virtual meetings when compared to the height of the pandemic. Ultimately, we believe that our product offerings are well-positioned to help our healthcare customers successfully manage issues associated with onboarding, training, developing, engaging, and retaining employees—nurses in particular—and we remain dedicated to helping our customers overcome the challenges associated with the pandemic and ongoing economic conditions.

During the height of the pandemic, including in 2021, we experienced delayed and reduced bookings and renewals due to the pandemic. Given that we sell multiple year subscriptions to our solutions, the revenue impact of lost or delayed sales in a given period generally does not manifest until future periods, just as the revenue we recognize in a given period is generally the result of sales from a prior period. We believe that the delay in bookings from the height of the pandemic negatively impacted our revenue growth in the first three quarters of 2022, and, to a lesser extent, will continue to negatively impact our revenue throughout the remainder of the year. However, we also have experienced increased bookings during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, in comparison to the prior year period, which we expect to have a positive impact on revenue during the remainder of 2022. 

In addition, the U.S. economy has been experiencing various challenges, including recessionary concerns, ongoing inflation, significant disruptions to global supply networks, and challenging labor market conditions. In this regard, we have recently experienced and believe that many of our customers have experienced increased labor, supply chain, capital, and other expenditures associated with current inflationary pressures. These conditions impacting the U.S. economy and our customers in the healthcare industry have adversely affected, and may continue to adversely impact, our business and results of operations for MAI have been includedoperations. However, as discussed above, we also believe that our product offerings are well positioned to help customers mitigate some of the negative impacts otherwise associated with current labor challenges as we continue to fulfill our vision to improve the quality of healthcare by developing the people who deliver care.

Key Business Metrics

Our management utilizes the following financial and non-financial metrics in connection with managing our condensed consolidated financial statements from the datebusiness.

Revenues, net. Revenues, net, reflect income generated by the sales of goods and services related to our operations and, for businesses acquired prior to the adoption of ASU 2021-08 on January 1, 2022, reflects deferred revenue write-downs associated with fair value accounting for such acquired businesses. Revenues, net, were $67.3 million and $198.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $64.1 million and $192.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Management utilizes revenue in connection with managing our business and believes that this metric provides useful information to investors as a key indicator of the growth and success of our products.

Operating Income. Operating income represents the amount of profit realized from our operations and is calculated as the difference between revenues, net and operating costs and expenses. Operating income was $2.4 million and $9.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $1.8 million and $8.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Management utilizes operating income in connection with managing our business and believes that this metric provides useful information to investors as a key indicator of profitability.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA, calculated as set forth below under “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” is utilized by our management in connection with managing our business and provides useful information to investors because adjusted EBITDA reflects net income adjusted for certain GAAP accounting, non-cash and non-operating items, as more specifically set forth below, which may not fully reflect the underlying operating performance of our business. We also believe that adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors to assess the Company’s ongoing operations. Additionally, short-term cash incentive bonuses and certain performance-based equity award grants are based on the achievement of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in applicable bonus and equity grant documentation) targets. Adjusted EBITDA was $12.7 million and $39.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $12.5 million and $40.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

hStream Subscriptions. hStream subscriptions are determined as the number of subscriptions under contract for hStream, our emerging technology platform that enables healthcare organizations and their respective workforces to easily connect to and gain value from the growing HealthStream ecosystem of applications, tools, and content. Management utilizes hStream subscriptions in connection with managing our business and believes that this metric provides useful information to investors as a measure of our progress in growing the value of our customer base. At September 30, 2022, we had approximately 5.35 million contracted subscriptions to hStream, compared to 4.92 million as of September 30, 2021.

As previously announced, Laerdal Medical A/S, a Norwegian company (“Laerdal”), provided notice that, upon the December 31, 2018 expiration of our existing agreements with Laerdal regarding the HeartCode and Resuscitation Quality Improvement (“RQI”) products, Laerdal does not intend to continue these existing agreements or enter into new agreements with

HealthStream in relation to such products. Our Joint Marketing and Licensing Agreements with Laerdal for HeartCode and for RQI, respectively, remain unaltered and continue in effect through December 31, 2018. Up to that expiration date, we retain the right to offer HeartCode and RQI licenses that extend through December 31, 2020. We retain exclusivity of RQI sales to our existing customer network through the agreement expiration date of December 31, 2018 and are prohibited from selling substantially similar products to HeartCode and RQI during that time.

Revenues associated with the sales of HeartCode and RQI products have been significant in recent years, although margins on such products have been lower than HealthStream’s average margin. We are actively engaged in efforts to broaden the scope and utilization of our simulation-related offerings to include a range of clinical competencies that extend beyond resuscitation, and integrate with our platform in ways that HeartCode and RQI never have. We intend to bring to market a broadened scope of simulation-based offerings, including— following the December 31, 2018 expiration date of our agreements with Laerdal—resuscitation programs. We believe these efforts have the potential to give rise to additional and higher margin opportunities than currently exist under the Laerdal agreements for HeartCode and RQI, and will likely feature solutions with a lower price point than our current offerings. However, there is no assurance that we will be successful in these efforts, and to the extent that new simulation-based or other solutions do not generate revenue and/or earnings following the December 31, 2018 expiration date in a manner that supplants the impact of these agreements with Laerdal, our revenue and results of operations following this expiration date may be adversely affected.

Reconciliation ofNon-GAAP Financial Measures

This report contains certainnon-GAAP financial measures, includingnon-GAAP net income,non-GAAP operating income, andQuarterly Report on Form 10-Q presents adjusted EBITDA, which areis a non-GAAP financial measure used by management in analyzing itsour financial results and ongoing operational performance. Thesenon-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance which are prepared in accordance with US GAAP and may be different fromnon-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

In order to better assess the Company’s financial results, management believes that net income excluding the impact of the deferred revenue write-downs associated with fair value accounting for acquired businesses (as discussed in greater detail below) and before interest, income taxes, stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, changes in fair value of, including gains (losses) on the sale of, non-marketable equity investments, and the de-recognition of non-cash expense resulting from the paid time off expense reduction in the first quarter of 2021 (“adjusted EBITDAEBITDA”) is an appropriatea useful measure for evaluating the operating performance of the Company and provides useful information to investors because adjusted EBITDA reflects net income adjusted for certain GAAP accounting, non-cash and and/or non-operating items. items which may not, in any such case, fully reflect the underlying operating performance of our business. We also believe that adjusted EBITDA is also used byuseful to many investors and securities analysts to assess the Company’s results from current operations. Adjusted EBITDA is anon-GAAP financial measureongoing operating performance and should not be considered as a measureto compare the Company’s operating performance between periods. Additionally, short-term cash incentive bonuses and certain performance-based equity awards are based on the achievement of financial performance under US GAAP. Because adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined(as defined in accordance with US GAAP, it is susceptible to varying calculations. Accordingly,applicable bonus and equity grant documentation) targets.

As noted above, the definition of adjusted EBITDA as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.    

The Company understands that although adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluation of companies, this measure has limitations asincludes an analytical tool and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substituteadjustment for an analysisthe impact of the Company’s results as reported under US GAAP.

In recent years, including the August 2016 acquisition of MAI,deferred revenue write-downs associated with fair value accounting for acquired businesses. Prior to the Company has acquired businesses whose net tangible assets include deferred revenue. In accordance with GAAP reporting requirements,early adopting ASU 2021-08 effective January 1, 2022, following the completion of any such acquisition by the Company, maythe Company was required to record a write-down ofthe acquired deferred revenue toat fair value as defined in GAAP. IfGAAP, which typically resulted in a write-down of the acquired deferred revenue. When the Company iswas required to record a write-down of deferred revenue, it may resultresulted in lower recognized revenue, operating income, and net income in subsequent periods.

In connection therewith, this report presents belownon-GAAP operating income andnon-GAAP net income, which in each case reflects the corresponding GAAP figures adjusted to exclude the impact of the deferred revenue write-down associated with fair value accounting Revenue for acquired businesses as referenced above. Management believes that the presentation of thesenon-GAAP financial measures assists investors in understanding the Company’s performance between periods by excluding the impact of this deferred revenue write-down and provides a useful measure of the ongoing performance of the Company. As is typical for our business offerings, revenue for theany such acquired business iswas deferred and was typically recognized over aone-to-two year period following the completion of any particular acquisition, so our GAAP revenues (and, thus, our GAAP operating income and net income) for thisone-to-two year period willwould not reflect the full amount of revenues that would have been reported if the acquired deferred revenue was not written down to fair value. Management believes that including an adjustment in the definition of adjusted EBITDA for the impact of the deferred 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 provides useful information to investors because the deferred revenue write-down recognized in periods after an acquisition may, 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 and thus adjusting for this amount may assist in comparing the Company’s results of operations between periods. Following the adoption of ASU 2021-08, contracts acquired in an acquisition completed on or after January 1, 2022 will be 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 will no longer record deferred revenue write-downs associated with acquired businesses (for acquisitions completed prior to January 1, 2022, the Company will continue to record deferred revenue write-downs associated with fair value accounting for periods on and after January 1, 2022 consistent with past practice). At the current time, the Company intends to continue to include an adjustment in the definition of adjusted EBITDA for the impact of deferred revenue write-downs from business acquired prior to January 1, 2022 given the ongoing impact of such deferred revenue on our financial results.

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 analytical tools.

It is anticipated that future acquisitions or strategic investments, if any, would be effected through cash consideration, stock consideration, or a combination of both. The issuance of our stock as consideration for an acquisition or to raise additional capital could have a dilutive effect on earnings per share and could adversely affect our stock price. Our revolving credit facility contains financial covenants and

availability calculations designed to set a maximum leverage ratio of outstanding debt to adjusted EBITDA and an interest coverage ratio of adjusted EBITDA to interest expense. Therefore, the maximum borrowings against our revolving credit facility would be dependent on the covenant valuescalculations at the time of borrowing. As of September 30, 2017,2022, we were in material compliance with all covenants. There can be no assurance that amounts available for borrowing under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to consummate any possible acquisitions, and we cannot assure you that if we need additional financing that it will be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. Failure to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or raise additional capital when required in sufficient amounts and on terms acceptable to us could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

As of September 30, 20172022, and during the ninethree months then ended, the Company had no outstanding debt. We may become subject to interest rate market risk associated with any future borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The interest rate under the revolving credit facility varies depending on the interest rate option selected by the Company plus a margin determined in accordance with a pricing grid. We are also exposed to market risk with respect to our cash and investment balances, which approximated $123.4$51.8 million at September 30, 2017.2022. Assuming a hypothetical 10% decrease in interest rates for invested balances, interest income from cash and investments would decrease on an annualized basis by approximately $134,000.$66,000.

Foreign Currency Risk

We have foreign currency risks related to our revenue and operating expenses denominated in currencies other than the US dollar, including Canadian dollar, New Zealand dollar, and Australian dollar. Increases or decreases in our foreign-denominated revenue from movements in foreign exchange rates are often partially offset by the corresponding increases or decreases in our foreign-denominated operating expenses.

To the extent that our international operations grow, our risks associated with fluctuation in currency rates will become greater, and we will continue to assess our approach to managing this risk. In addition, currency fluctuations or a weakening US dollar can increase the costs of our international operations. To date, we have not entered into any foreign currency hedging contracts although we may do so in the future.

Investment Risk

The Company’s investment policy and strategy is focused on investing in highly rated securities with the objective of minimizing the potential risk of principal loss. The Company’s policy limits the amount of credit exposure to any single issuer and sets limits on the average portfolio maturity.

We have an investment portfolio that includes strategic investments in privately held companies, which primarily include early-stage companies. We primarily invest in healthcare technology companies that we believe can help expand our ecosystem. We may continue to make these types of strategic investments as opportunities arise that we find attractive. We may experience additional volatility to our Consolidated Financial Statements due to changes in market prices, observable price changes, and impairments to our strategic investments. These changes could be material based on market conditions and events. 

The above market risk discussion and the estimated amounts presented areforward-looking statements of market risk assuming the occurrence of certain adverse market conditions. Actual results in the future may differ materially from those projected as a result of actual developments in the market.

Evaluation of Controls and Procedures

HealthStream’s chief executive officer and principal financial officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules13a-15(e) and15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on that evaluation, the chief executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that HealthStream’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and the information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act was accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its chief executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in HealthStream’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the third quarter of 20172022 that has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect, HealthStream’s internal control over financial reporting.
