Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

On July 7, 2020, MTBC, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

The Company reports its 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 the Company’s 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 the Company 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 the Company’s ongoing business by eliminating certain non-cash expenses and other items that management believes might otherwise make comparisons of the Company’s ongoing business with prior periods more difficult, obscure trends in ongoing operations, or reduce management’s ability to make useful forecasts. Management believes that 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 the Company’s financial and operational performance and comparing this performance to the Company’s peers and competitors.

 

Management uses adjusted EBITDA 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 the Company’s 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, integration costs, transaction costs, restructuring costs and changes in contingent consideration.

 

Management considers non-GAAP financial measures to be important indicators of the operational strength and performance of the Company’s business and a good measure of the Company’s historical operating trends, in particular the extent to which ongoing operations impact the Company’s 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:

 

Foreign exchange / other expense. Other expense is excluded because foreign currency gains and losses and other non-operating expenses are expenditures that management does not consider part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of the Company’s business, and also because the total amount of the expense is partially outside of the Company’s control. Foreign currency gains and losses are based on global market factors which are unrelated to the Company’s performance during the period in which the gains and losses are recorded.

 

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 the Company’s business, and also because the total amount of the expenditure is partially outside of the Company’s control because it is based on factors such as stock price, volatility, and interest rates, which may be unrelated to the Company’s performance during the period in which the expenses are incurred. Stock-based compensation expense includes cash-settled awards based on changes in the stock price.

 

2

 

 

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 the Company’s ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are incurred.

 

Integration costs. Integration costs are severance payments for certain employees relating to the Company’s 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 the Company’s ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are incurred.

 

Restructuring costs. Restructuring charges primarily represent employee severance costs, remaining lease and termination fees, disposal of property and equipment and professional fees associated with discontinued facilities and operations. 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 the Company’s 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 certain 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 the forecasted revenues of the acquired businesses.

 

While management believes that non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the underlying performance of the Company’s business operations, investors are reminded to consider 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 the Company’s 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 the Company’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP.

 

The information furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 of this Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any other filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

 

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

On July 9, 2020, the Company filed a Sixth Amendment (the “COD Amendment”) to Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights (the “Certificate of Designation”) of the Company’s 11% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware which was effective upon filing.

MTBC Increases 2020 Revenue Guidance

 

SOMERSET, N.J., July 7, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) MTBC, Inc. (Nasdaq: MTBC) (Nasdaq: MTBCP), a leading provider of cloud-based healthcare IT solutions and services, today announced that it is increasing its 2020 revenue guidance to $105 - $107 million, which represents year-over-year revenue growth of approximately 65%, while reaffirming its 2020 adjusted EBITDA guidance of $12 - $ 13 million.

 

“We’ve had a remarkable first half of the year and we are pleased to increase our revenue guidance, based on our recent Meridian acquisition,” said Stephen Snyder, MTBC CEO. “Moreover, we are better positioned today than ever to continue to grow our revenue and expand margins during the balance of 2020 and beyond.”

 

“We expect annualized revenue of approximately $130 - $135 million during the second half of 2020, which reflects our assumptions regarding a modest and temporary reduction to our normalized run rate revenue due to COVID-19,” said Bill Korn, MTBC CFO. “We expect to achieve approximately $24 - 25 million of annualized adjusted EBITDA during the second half of 2020, representing an adjusted EBITDA margin of nearly 20%. Our adjusted EBITDA during the first half of 2020 was reduced due to the CareCloud acquisition during January and COVID-19, which reduced the total number of doctor visits during March through June.”
