Financial Results: Third Quarter 2013 Compared to Third Quarter 2012 Revenues for the third quarter of 2013 increased $7.3 million, or 28 percent, to $33.7 million, compared to $26.4 million for the third quarter of 2012.
Revenues from HealthStream Learning & Talent Management increased by $6.2 million, or 31 percent, when compared to the third quarter of 2012. Revenues from our Internet-based subscription products increased by approximately $5.4 million, or 28 percent, over the prior year quarter due to a higher number of subscribers and more courseware consumption by subscribers. Revenues in the third quarter of 2013 were positively influenced by courseware subscriptions associated with, among other products, ICD-10 training. Revenues from ICD-10 training were approximately $3.9 million in the third quarter of 2013, up $3.3 million over the prior year third quarter. Revenues from our credentialing software product, an installed solution, contributed $1.0 million during the third quarter of 2013. Revenues from SimVentures, our collaborative arrangement with Laerdal Medical A/S, increased by $146,000, or 35 percent, over the prior year third quarter to $565,000. Revenues from project-based services decreased $220,000 from the prior year quarter due to fewer content development projects.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income is included in this release.
Revenues from HealthStream Research increased by $1.0 million, or 17 percent, when compared to the third quarter of 2012. Revenues from Patient Insights™ surveys—a survey research product that generates recurring revenues—increased by $753,000, or 15 percent, when compared to the third quarter of 2012. Revenues from other surveys, which are conducted on annual or bi-annual cycles, increased slightly over the third quarter of 2012. The financial results for Baptist Leadership Group (BLG) have been included in the Company’s financial statements from the date of acquisition and are also included in the HealthStream Research segment.
Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require companies to write down beginning balances of acquired deferred revenue balances as part of “fair value” accounting as defined by GAAP. During the third quarter 2013, HealthStream reported a $167,000 reduction to GAAP revenues and a corresponding $167,000 reduction to operating income and $98,000 reduction to net income as a result of deferred revenue write-downs for the Sy.Med Development and Baptist Leadership Group acquisitions in October 2012 and September 2013, respectively. The table reconciling GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures included in this release shows the impact of beginning balance deferred revenue write-downs on financial results.
Operating income for the third quarter of 2013 increased by four percent to $3.9 million, compared to $3.7 million for the third quarter of 2012. The growth in revenues was mostly offset by operating expense increases associated with higher royalties, personnel additions, sales commissions, depreciation and amortization, and other general expenses.
Net income increased by 16 percent to $2.3 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2012. Earnings per share increased by 14 percent to $0.08 per share (diluted) in the third quarter of 2013, compared to $0.07 per share (diluted) for the third quarter of 2012.
Adjusted EBITDA (which we define as net income before interest, income taxes, share-based compensation, and depreciation and amortization) increased by 10 percent to $6.3 million for the third quarter of 2013, compared to $5.7 million for the third quarter of 2012.
At September 30, 2013, the Company had cash and marketable securities of $104.7 million. Capital expenditures totaled $2.2 million for the third quarter of 2013.
Year-to-Date 2013 Compared to Year-to-Date 2012 For the first nine months of 2013, revenues were $95.2 million, an increase of 26 percent over revenues of $75.9 million in the first nine months of 2012. Operating income for the first nine months of 2013 improved by 10 percent to $11.2 million, compared to $10.1 million for the first nine months of 2012. Net income for the first nine months of 2013 increased by 14 percent to $6.7 million, compared to $5.8 million for the first nine months of 2012. Earnings per share were $0.24 per share (diluted) for the first nine months of 2013, up from $0.21 per share (diluted) for the first nine months of 2012.
Other Business Updates At September 30, 2013, approximately 3,196,000 healthcare professionals were fully implemented to use our Internet-based HealthStream Learning Center (HLC) for training and education. This number is up from approximately 2,869,000 fully implemented users at September 30, 2012. The total number of contracted subscribers at September 30, 2013 was approximately 3,411,000, up from approximately 2,975,000 at September 30, 2012. “Contracted subscribers” include both the 3,196,000 subscribers already implemented and the 215,000 subscribers in the process of implementation.
“Annualized Revenue per Implemented Subscriber” is a measure of our progress in growing the value of our customer base. Annualized Revenue per Implemented Subscriber represents the quarter’s revenue from Internet-based subscription products annualized, then divided by the quarter’s average total implemented subscribers. The following table shows the metric for the third quarter of 2013 and the preceding seven quarters.

Note: Internet-based subscription products include subscriptions to our platform, plus courseware/content subscriptions. The above metric does not include revenues from SimCenter; the Company reports those revenues separately as part of our SimVentures collaborative arrangement.
Based on the number of subscribers, our renewal rate was 85 percent in the third quarter of 2013. Our renewal rate for the number of subscribers reflects the number of subscribers that were up for renewal in the quarter that chose to renew plus the addition of new subscribers on these accounts, compared to previously contracted amounts. The renewal rate based on subscribers for the third quarter of 2013 compares to a renewal rate of 97 percent during the third quarter of 2012.
Based on contract value, our renewal rate was 93 percent in the third quarter of 2013. Our renewal rate for contract value reflects any pricing adjustment that may occur at renewal along with increases in contract value due to the addition of new subscribers as compared to previously contracted amounts. Our calculation of this renewal rate includes only the base subscriptions to our platform; it does not include the purchase of additional products or content purchased prior to or at the time of renewal. The renewal rate based on contract value for the third quarter of 2013 compares to a renewal rate of 95 percent during the third quarter of 2012.
For the trailing four quarters ended September 30, 2013, customers representing approximately 95 percent of subscribers that were up for renewal did renew, while our renewal rate based on the annual contract value was approximately 96 percent. The trailing four quarter renewal measurements are calculated on the same basis as the quarter results.
During the third quarter of 2013, the Company continued to expand its customer base for two of our talent management offerings, the HealthStream Performance Center™ (HPC) and the HealthStream Competency Center™ (HCC). Since our launch of the Performance Center approximately 18 months ago, the number of contracted subscribers has reached approximately 250,000 healthcare professionals—across both the Performance Center and Competency Center. Approximately 34,000 of those subscribers were contracted in the third quarter of 2013.
In September of 2013, HealthStream enhanced its patient experience solution through the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Baptist Leadership Group (BLG), a Pensacola, Florida-based consulting practice. The Company gained a comprehensive suite of assessment tools and training curricula, along with a staff of experienced coaches and experts—all focused on patient-centered performance excellence in healthcare. We believe that BLG provides healthcare organizations with a comprehensive roadmap that includes high-impact products, services, and coaching to craft a strategy that improves the patient experience. HealthStream purchased substantially all of the assets of BLG for approximately $7.2 million in cash and approximately $0.5 million in HealthStream common stock.
On October 15-17, 2013, we welcomed 625 of our customers from across the nation to our 2013 Summit, held in Nashville. At this event, workshops and presentations focused on the sharing of best practices for developing the healthcare workforce and on improving healthcare organizations. Approximately 100 sessions were held, collectively, along four tracks: Leadership & Strategy, Human Resources, Education, and Quality. An Exhibition Hall was included where 20 of our partners—including Laerdal Medical, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, and Precyse—had booths that showcased their products made available through HealthStream. Attendees also had the chance to participate in numerous training and continuing education opportunities, including five pre-conference workshops.
Financial Outlook for 2013 The Company is updating its previous guidance and anticipates consolidated revenues for 2013 to grow between 26 to 28 percent over full-year 2012. We anticipate revenue growth in the Learning & Talent Management segment to be in the 30 to 32 percent range and the Research segment’s revenues to increase approximately eight to 10 percent.
We anticipate that 2013 full-year operating income will be approximately six to 10 percent over full-year 2012, capital expenditures will be between $8 million to $9 million, and our effective tax rate will be approximately 41 to 44 percent.
Commenting on third quarter 2013 results, Robert A. Frist, Jr., chief executive officer, HealthStream, said “With third quarter 2013 revenues up 28 percent and net income up over 16 percent—both over the prior year quarter, we are positioned to finish the year strong—as reflected in our updated financial guidance,” said Robert A. Frist, Jr., chairman and chief executive officer, HealthStream. “Our progress is gaining visibility as we were recently ranked #89 inForbes’ 2013 list of the ‘Top 100 Best Small Companies in the U.S.,’ which is the second consecutive year that HealthStream has been ranked in this prestigious list. We believe that our continued focus on helping healthcare organizations develop their workforce and improve outcomes is supporting the achievement of our vision to improve the quality of healthcare by assessing and developing the people who deliver care.”

Hayden, Jr., senior vice president and chief financial officer, and Mollie Condra, associate vice president of investor relations and corporate communications, will be held on Tuesday, October 22, 2013 at 9:00 a.m. (EDT).

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP revenue, and adjusted EBITDA, which are used by management in analyzing its financial results and ongoing operational performance.
In order to better assess the Company’s financial results, management believes that income before interest, income taxes, share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”) is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of the Company because adjusted EBITDA reflects net income adjusted for non-cash and non-operating items. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by many investors to assess the Company’s results from current operations. 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, it is susceptible to varying calculations. Accordingly, adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
Recently the Company has acquired businesses whose net tangible assets include deferred revenue. In accordance with GAAP reporting requirements, the Company may record a write down of deferred revenue to fair value as defined in GAAP. If the Company is required to record a write-down of deferred revenue, it may result in lower recognized revenue. In order to provide more accurate trends and comparisons of the Company’s revenues, operating income, and net income, management believes that adding back the deferred revenue write-down associated with fair value accounting for acquired businesses provides a better indication of the ongoing performance of the Company. Both on a quarterly and year-to-date basis, the revenue for the acquired contracts is deferred and typically recognized over a one-year period, so our GAAP revenues for the one-year period after the acquisition will not reflect the full amount of revenues that would have been reported if the acquired deferred revenue was not written down to fair value.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance which are prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of our GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures, which are set forth below in this release.
