SOMERSET, N.J., August 11, 2016 (Marketwired) — Medical Transcription Billing, Corp. (Nasdaq: MTBC), a leading provider of proprietary, cloud based electronic health records, practice management and mHealth solutions, today announced financial and operational results for second quarter 2016.
“During the second quarter, we achieved quarter over quarter revenue growth, narrowed our GAAP net loss by 35% from first quarter 2016, and we delivered our third consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA,” said Mahmud Haq, MTBC’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our quarter over quarter revenue growth is a milestone, marking the first time this has happened since the fourth quarter of 2014. This reflects the stabilization of our business after the three simultaneous acquisitions at the time of our IPO in 2014, and the fact that we had obtained capital to invest in growing our business at the end of 2015. We finished the quarter with $6.6 million of growth capital.”
“We are continuing to deploy our growth capital and expand our service offerings, with the July 1 acquisition of WFS Services, Inc., a hospital-focused revenue cycle management company, Tennessee-based Renaissance Physician Services on April 30 and our acquisition of Texas-based Gulf Coast Billing, Inc. in mid-February,” said Stephen Snyder, MTBC’s President. He further explained, “We continue to work toward identifying appropriate acquisition opportunities that align with our 2016 growth and profitability objectives and finalizing discussions with potential sellers.”
Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were $10.3 million, compared to $12.1 million in the same period last year. Revenues for the second quarter 2016 were $5.2 million, compared to $6.0 million in the same period last year.
“Year over year, our revenue was down, principally due to the loss of clients during 2015 from the companies we purchased in the second half of 2014,” said Bill Korn, MTBC’s Chief Financial Officer. “We are pleased to report revenue growth from first quarter of 2016 to second quarter of 2016, a trend that we hope to continue as the year progresses.”
For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the GAAP Net Loss was $3.3 million or 32% of net revenue, compared to a GAAP Net Loss of $2.7 million for the same period last year. Direct operating costs were reduced by 29%, from $6.5 million in the first half of 2015 to $4.6 million in first half of 2016, while general and administrative expenses declined from $6.3 million to $5.6 million. The GAAP Net Loss was $0.36 per share, calculated using net loss attributable to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
For the three months ended June 30, 2016, the GAAP Net Loss was $1.3 million, 25% of net revenue, or $0.15 per share, compared to a GAAP Net Loss of $1.5 million, in the same period last year. The decrease in our net loss is primarily the result of cost savings from the integration of our 2014 and 2015 acquisitions. Direct operating costs were reduced by 21%, from $2.9 million in the second quarter of 2015 to $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2016, while general and administrative expenses declined from $3.2 million to $2.7 million.
For the six months ended June 30, 2016, our non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income was ($515,000) or ($0.05) per share compared to the non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income of ($1.1 million) in the same period last year. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, our non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income was ($298,000), or ($0.03) per share, compared to the non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income of ($252,000) in the same period last year. Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income per share is calculated using the end-of-period common shares outstanding, including shares which are part of contingent consideration.
For the six months ended June 30, 2016, Adjusted EBIDTA was $80,000 or 0.8% of revenue, compared to Adjusted EBIDTA of ($805,000), or (6.7%) of revenue in the same period last year. The improvement in Adjusted EBITDA is primarily the result of our reduction in direct operating costs and general and administrative expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, Adjusted EBITDA was $14,000, or 0.3% of revenue, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of ($96,000), or (1.6%) of revenue, in the same period last year.
“The difference of $3.4 million between Adjusted EBITDA and the GAAP Net Loss in the six months ended June 30, 2016 reflects $2.4 million of non-cash amortization and depreciation expense, $622,000 of stock-based compensation, $325,000 of integration and transaction costs related to recent acquisitions, $81,000 of provision for taxes, and $296,000 of net interest expense, offset by a $411,000 decrease in the contingent consideration liability,” continued Bill Korn.
In early July, MTBC completed a drawdown from its shelf registration, selling 63,040 additional shares of its 11% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock at a price of $25.00 per share. This resulted in net proceeds of $1.4 million, based on the maximum permissible under the SEC’s rule I.B.6, governing the use of shelf registration statements by companies with under $75 million of public float. The Series A Preferred Stock is identical to the $5.8 million of Series A Preferred Stock issued in November 2015. It carries an 11% annual dividend payable monthly, and a $25.00 liquidation preference. The shares are not convertible, have no stated maturity, and are not subject to a sinking fund or mandatory redemption. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock will remain outstanding indefinitely unless we decide to redeem the shares, which can occur at the Company’s option at any time after five years or within 120 days of a change of control. The Board of Directors has declared monthly dividends on the Preferred Stock payable through November, 2016.

At the time this drawdown was completed, the Company modified the covenants in its credit agreement with Opus Bank, providing additional flexibility for financing working capital. In exchange for the modification, the Company paid a fee of $25,000 and issued additional warrants for Opus to purchase 100,000 shares of its common stock at a strike price equal to $5.00 per share, with similar terms to the previous warrants issued to Opus when the $10 million credit facility was opened in third quarter 2015.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
TO COMPARABLE GAAP MEASURES (UNAUDITED)
The following is a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used by us to describe our financial results determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading “Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the underlying performance of our business operations, investors are reminded to consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, it should be noted that these non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies, and management may utilize other measures to illustrate performance in the future. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. However, management believes that, in order to properly understand our short-term and long-term financial and operational trends, investors may wish to consider the impact of certain non-cash or non-recurring items, when used as a supplement to financial performance measures in accordance with GAAP. These items result from facts and circumstances that vary in frequency and impact on continuing operations. Management also uses results of operations before such items to evaluate the operating performance of MTBC and compare it against past periods, make operating decisions, and serve as a basis for strategic planning. These non-GAAP financial measures provide management with additional means to understand and evaluate the operating results and trends in our ongoing business by eliminating certain non-cash expenses and other items that management believes might otherwise make comparisons of our ongoing business with prior periods more difficult, obscure trends in ongoing operations, or reduce management’s ability to make useful forecasts. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional means of evaluating period-over-period operating performance. In addition, management understands that some investors and financial analysts find this information helpful in analyzing our financial and operational performance and comparing this performance to our peers and competitors.
Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income to provide an understanding of aspects of operating results before the impact of investing and financing charges and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA may be useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance and liquidity because this measure excludes non-cash expenses as well as expenses pertaining to investing or financing transactions. Management defines “Adjusted EBITDA” as the sum of GAAP net income (loss) before provision for (benefit from) income taxes, net interest expense, other (income) expense, stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, amortization of purchased intangible assets, integration costs, transaction costs, and changes in contingent consideration, and “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue.
Management defines “non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income” as the sum of GAAP net income (loss) before stock-based compensation expense, amortization of purchased intangible assets, other (income) expense, transaction costs, integration costs, changes in contingent consideration, any tax impact related to these preceding items and income tax expense related to goodwill, and “non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income per Share” as non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income divided by common shares outstanding at the end of the period, including the shares which were issued but are subject to forfeiture and considered contingent consideration. Management considers all of these non-GAAP financial measures to be important indicators of our operational strength and performance of our business and a good measure of our historical operating trends, in particular the extent to which ongoing operations impact our overall financial performance.
In addition to items routinely excluded from non-GAAP EBITDA, management excludes or adjusts each of the items identified below from the applicable non-GAAP financial measure referenced above for the reasons set forth with respect to that excluded item:
| 10 |
Other (income) expense – net. Other (income) expense is excluded because foreign currency gains and losses, whether realized or unrealized, and other non-operating expenses are non-cash expenditures that management does not consider part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of our business, and also because the total amount of the expense is partially outside of our control. Foreign currency gains and losses are based on global market factors which are unrelated to our performance during the period in which the gains and losses are realized.
Stock-based compensation expense. Stock-based compensation expense is excluded because this is primarily a non-cash expenditure that management does not consider part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of our business, and also because the total amount of the expenditure is partially outside of our control because it is based on factors such as stock price, volatility, and interest rates, which may be unrelated to our performance during the period in which the expenses are incurred.
Amortization of purchased intangible assets. Purchased intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives and generally cannot be changed or influenced by management after the acquisition. Accordingly, this item is not considered by management in making operating decisions. Management does not believe such charges accurately reflect the performance of our ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are incurred.
Transaction costs. Transaction costs are upfront costs related to acquisitions and related transactions, such as brokerage fees, pre-acquisition accounting costs and legal fees, and other upfront costs related to specific transactions. Management believes that such expenses do not have a direct correlation to future business operations, and therefore, these costs are not considered by management in making operating decisions. Management does not believe such charges accurately reflect the performance of our ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are incurred.
Integration costs. Integration costs are severance payments for certain employees relating to our acquisitions and exit costs related to terminating leases and other contractual agreements. Accordingly, management believes that such expenses do not have a direct correlation to future business operations, and therefore, these costs are not considered by management in making operating decisions. Management does not believe such charges accurately reflect the performance of our ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are incurred.
Changes in contingent consideration. Contingent consideration represents the amount payable to the sellers of the acquired businesses based on the achievement of defined performance measures contained in the purchase agreements. Contingent consideration is adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period, and changes arise from changes in MTBC’s stock price as well as changes in the forecasted revenues of the acquired businesses.
Tax expense related to goodwill. Income tax expense resulting from the amortization of goodwill related to our acquisitions represents a charge to record the tax expense resulting from amortizing goodwill over 15 years for tax purposes. Goodwill is not amortized for GAAP reporting. This expense is not anticipated to result in a cash payment.
