Briefing

Announced third quarter 2021 results, showing revenue increase but a decrease in operating and net income.

HealthStream reported a 5% increase in revenue to $64.1 million for Q3 2021, driven by growth in Workforce and Provider Solutions, despite a decline in legacy resuscitation revenues. However, operating income and net income decreased due to higher operating expenses and amortization.

  • Workforce Solutions segment revenues grew by 4% to $51.2 million.
  • Provider Solutions segment revenues increased to $12.9 million, primarily due to subscription revenues.

Forward guidance

HealthStream updated its full year 2021 guidance, anticipating a strong finish to the year with record adjusted EBITDA.

Tailwinds

  • Expected record adjusted EBITDA of between $51 million to $53 million.
  • Revenue growth driven by sales and implementations of product suites.
  • Progress made in sales and implementations of product suites like the American Red Cross, CredentialStream, and Jane.
  • Growth from newly acquired scheduling businesses.
  • Company anticipates integration costs and additional investments in sales, marketing, and product development in 2021 for recently acquired companies

Headwinds

  • Financial guidance assumes that public health conditions associated with the pandemic and general economic conditions (including conditions impacting healthcare organizations) continue to improve over the course of the year
  • COVID-19 vaccines continue to be successfully distributed and perform according to current expectations
  • New variants of the virus, or other unknown variants, do not further impede recovery from the pandemic.
  • Estimated deferred revenue write-downs of $4.0 million during 2021 related to recent acquisitions, which would result in corresponding reductions to net revenues and operating income during 2021.
  • Company’s guidance reflects the Company’s assumptions regarding, among other things, the COVID-19 pandemic as noted below
