Financial Results:
Second Quarter 2016 Compared to Second Quarter 2015
Revenues for the second quarter of 2016 increased by $2.7 million, or five percent, to $54.8 million, compared to $52.1 million for the second quarter of 2015.

Revenues from our HealthStream Workforce Solutions segment, which are primarily subscription-based, approximated $40.2 million for the second quarter of 2016 compared to $39.8 million for the second quarter of 2015. Revenue growth of $0.4 million from our workforce solutions products was impacted by a decline in ICD-10 readiness revenue. Revenues from ICD-10-readiness training products declined by $4.6 million to $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared to $6.8 million in the prior year second quarter.

Revenues from our HealthStream Patient Experience Solutions segment increased by $201,000, or two percent, when compared to the second quarter of 2015. Revenues from Patient Insights™ surveys—a survey research product that generates recurring revenues—increased by $105,000, or two percent, when compared to the second quarter of 2015. Revenues from other products, including surveys conducted on annual or bi-annual cycles and consulting/coaching services, collectively increased by $96,000, or four percent, when compared to the second quarter of 2015.

1 — Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income and disclosure regarding why we believe Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors is included later in this release.

Revenues from our HealthStream Provider Solutions segment increased by $2.1 million, or 59 percent, when compared to the second quarter of 2015. Revenues from the HealthLine Systems (HLS) acquisition, which was consummated in March 2015, accounted for a majority of the increase in revenues during the second quarter of 2016.

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 second quarter of 2016, HealthStream reported a $439,000 reduction to operating income and $254,000 to net income as a result of the deferred revenue write-down for the HLS acquisition. During the second quarter of 2015, HealthStream reported a reduction of $2.7 million to operating income and $1.6 million to net income as a result of deferred revenue write-downs. The table reconciling GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures included in this release shows the impact of beginning balance deferred revenue write-downs on operating income and net income.

Operating income was $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2016 compared to $2.6 million for the second quarter of 2015. The increases in revenue in the second quarter of 2016 were more than offset by increased operating expenses associated with personnel additions, higher royalties, product development, depreciation and amortization, and other general expenses. During the second quarter of 2016, we incurred approximately $300,000 of expenses associated with the ongoing evaluation of business development opportunities, including the acquisition of Performance Management Services, Inc. In addition, the second quarter included approximately $300,000 of expenses associated with the implementation of a new financial systems platform, which was substantially completed during the second quarter. Finally, reductions in revenue associated with ICD-10 readiness training products also contributed to the reduction in operating income compared to the prior year.

Net income was $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2016 compared to $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2015. Earnings per share were $0.04 per share (diluted) for the second quarter of 2016, compared to $0.05 per share (diluted) for the second quarter of 2015.

Adjusted EBITDA (which we define as net income before interest, income taxes, share-based compensation, and depreciation and amortization) decreased by 10 percent to $7.9 million for the second quarter of 2016, compared to $8.8 million for the second quarter of 2015. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA results from the lower contribution of ICD-10 readiness products and increased operating expenses, partially offset by revenue increases related to the HealthLine Systems acquisition.

At June 30, 2016, the Company had cash and marketable securities of $138.8 million. Capital expenditures incurred during the second quarter of 2016 were approximately $3.1 million.

Year-to-Date 2016 Compared to Year-to-Date 2015
For the first six months of 2016, revenues were $108.9 million, an increase of 10 percent over revenues of $99.3 million in the first six months of 2015. Operating income for the first six months of 2016 decreased by 35 percent to $4.8 million, compared to $7.4 million for the first six months of 2015. Net income for the first six months of 2016 decreased by 31 percent to $2.9 million, compared to $4.2 million for the first six months of 2015. Earnings per share were $0.09 per share (diluted) for the first six months of 2016 compared to $0.15 per share (diluted) for the first six months of 2015. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 7 percent to $15.9 million for the first six months of 2016 compared to $17.2 million for the first six months of 2015.

Other Business Updates
At June 30, 2016, we had approximately 4,343,000 total subscribers implemented to use and 4,505,000 total subscribers contracted to use our subscription-based solutions. The net number of implemented subscribers at the end of the second quarter includes a reduction of approximately 54,000 subscribers that were solely using our ICD-10 readiness product. “Contracted subscribers” include both those already implemented and those under contract that are in the process of implementation. Revenue recognition commences when a contract is fully implemented.

Annualized revenue per implemented subscriber for Workforce Solutions
We view the metric, “Annualized Revenue per Implemented Subscriber for our Workforce Solutions” (“Workforce ARIS”), as one of several measures of our progress in growing the value of our customer base. Workforce ARIS represents the quarter’s revenue from our subscription-based solutions, annualized, then divided by the quarter’s average total number of implemented subscribers. Our subscription-based solutions include subscriptions to our platform applications, plus courseware/content subscriptions.

For the second quarter of 2016, HealthStream’s Workforce ARIS was $35.70, compared to last year’s second quarter of $35.35, and decreased by $0.57 per implemented subscriber compared to the first quarter of 2016. Subscription-based revenues increased one percent compared to last year’s second quarter while implemented subscribers decreased less than one percent over the same period last year.

Nurse Competency Acquired Today; PMSI Acquired at End of Second Quarter
In the last 30 days, HealthStream made two acquisitions that further advance its strategy to provide a comprehensive suite of clinical assessment solutions to healthcare organizations. Today, HealthStream purchased the outstanding equity of Nursing Registry Consulting Corporation (“Nurse Competency”), an entity in which HealthStream previously held a minority equity interest and a leader in SaaS-based clinical assessment and testing. On June 30, 2016, HealthStream acquired Performance Management Services, Inc. (“PMSI”), a Tustin, California-based company focused on competency-based performance development of nurses.

Both acquisitions support our overall strategy to offer comprehensive clinical assessments covering four key dimensions: knowledge, skills, attitude/behavioral, and judgement/situational. Nurse Competency offers clinical assessments that target clinical knowledge and skill levels, while PMSI offers clinical assessments regarding judgement skills.

Nurse Competency was purchased for approximately $1.04 million in cash, some of which is payable over a 24-month period following closing, subject to the achievement of certain performance milestones post-closing. 

Financial Outlook for 2016
For 2016, we anticipate that consolidated revenues will grow 8 to 12 percent as compared to 2015. We anticipate that revenue growth in our Workforce Solutions segment will be in the two to six percent range and approximately six to eight percent in our Patient Experience Solutions segment. We anticipate our Provider Solutions segment’s revenue to grow 80 to 84 percent as compared to 2015.

Revenues from ICD-10 readiness training, which were approximately $26.8 million in 2015, are expected to decline by approximately $18 million to $19 million in 2016 and are reflected in the above guidance range for Workforce Solutions.

We anticipate operating income for 2016 to increase between 10 and 14 percent as compared to 2015.

We anticipate that capital expenditures will be between $14 million and $16 million during 2016. We expect the annual effective income tax rate to range between 39 percent and 41 percent for 2016.

The aforementioned guidance includes the anticipated financial impact of the Performance Management Systems and Nursing Registry Consulting Corporation acquisitions, but does not include the impact from any other acquisitions that we may complete during 2016.

“Our two most recent acquisitions advance our business strategy to offer healthcare organizations a comprehensive suite of clinical assessment solutions—which, we believe, play a key role in developing a healthcare workforce,” said Robert A. Frist, Jr., chief executive officer, HealthStream. “We are excited to welcome the customers and employees of PMSI and Nurse Competency to HealthStream as we work together to further enhance and expand our assessment solutions. I would like to welcome Joe and Elease Caracci, co-founders of Nurse Competency, who are soon moving to Nashville to join our expert assessments team at our corporate office. We look forward to building upon the success that both of these companies have experienced in supporting healthcare organizations.”

Frist added, “We are excited to be adding great new team members and products, but that’s not the only way we are expanding; we also have a robust product launch pipeline slated for the remainder of the year.”

A conference call with Robert A. Frist, Jr., chief executive officer, Gerard M. Hayden, Jr., senior vice president and chief financial officer, and Mollie Condra, vice president of investor relations and corporate communications, will be held on Tuesday, July 26, 2016, 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, and adjusted EBITDA, which are used by management in analyzing the Company’s financial results and ongoing operational performance.

In order to better assess the Company’s financial results, management believes that net income before interest, income taxes, share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”) is a useful measure for evaluating the operating performance of the Company because adjusted EBITDA reflects net income adjusted for non-cash and non-operating items. We believe that 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.

In recent years, the Company has acquired businesses whose net tangible assets include deferred revenue. In accordance with GAAP reporting requirements, following the completion of any such acquisition, 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, operating income, and net income in subsequent periods.

In connection therewith, this release presents below non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP net income, which in each such case reflects the corresponding GAAP figures adjusted to exclude the impact of the deferred revenue write-down associated with fair value accounting for acquired businesses as referenced above. Management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures assists investors in understanding the Company’s performance between periods excluding the impact of this deferred revenue write-down and provides a useful measure of the ongoing performance of the Company. Both on a quarterly and year-to-date basis, the revenue for the acquired business is deferred and typically recognized over a one to two year period following the completion of any particular acquisition, so our GAAP revenues for this one to two year period 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.
