Financial Analyst

Streamline Health's Q2 2024 results show mixed signals. While the company's net loss widened to $2.8 million from $2.5 million year-over-year, there are some positive indicators. The adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed significantly to $0.3 million from $0.9 million, suggesting improved operational efficiency. However, total revenue declined to $4.5 million from $5.8 million, mainly due to client non-renewals.

The company's focus on SaaS solutions is evident, with SaaS revenue now accounting for 69% of total revenue, up from 61% last year. On a pro forma basis, SaaS revenue grew by 19%, indicating strong underlying growth in this segment. The company's cash position improved slightly to $3.5 million and it has no outstanding balance on its credit facility, which is positive for liquidity.

However, the reduction in Booked SaaS ACV from $15.0 million to $13.6 million and the delay in reaching the adjusted EBITDA breakeven point to the second half of fiscal 2025 are concerning. These factors suggest challenges in client retention and growth acceleration.

Market Research Analyst

The healthcare revenue cycle management market is experiencing significant transformation and Streamline Health's results reflect both opportunities and challenges in this space. The company's focus on SaaS solutions aligns with the industry trend towards cloud-based, automated revenue cycle management tools. However, the reported client non-renewals, including reasons such as full outsourcing of health system revenue cycles, indicate evolving customer preferences and competitive pressures.

The company's product enhancements for workforce automation and opportunity identification demonstrate efforts to stay relevant in a rapidly changing market. However, the revised timeline for achieving the adjusted EBITDA breakeven run rate suggests that market adoption may be slower than initially anticipated. The unpredictability in closing new contracts, as mentioned by the company, further underscores the competitive nature of the healthcare RCM software market.

Investors should closely monitor Streamline Health's ability to expand its client base and improve client retention, as these factors will be important for the company's long-term success in this dynamic market environment.

ATLANTA, Sept. 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Streamline Health Solutions, Inc. (“Streamline” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: STRM), a leading provider of solutions that enable healthcare providers to proactively address revenue leakage and improve financial performance, today announced financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2024, which was the three month period ended July 31, 2024, and the six-month period ended July 31, 2024.

Fiscal Second Quarter and Six-Months Ended July 31, 2024 GAAP Financial Results

The following financial results have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).

Total revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 was $4.5 million compared to $5.8 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2023. For the six months ended July 31, 2024, revenue totaled $8.8 million compared to $11.1 million during the same period in fiscal 2023. The change in total revenue was attributable to previously announced client non-renewals offset by successful implementation of new SaaS contracts.

SaaS revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 totaled $3.1 million, 69% of total revenue, compared to SaaS revenue of $3.5 million, 61% of total revenue during the second quarter of fiscal 2023. For the six months ended July 31, 2024, SaaS revenue totaled $5.8 million, 66% of total revenue, compared to $6.7 million, 61% of total revenue, during the same period of fiscal 2023. As previously reported, the Company had a SaaS contract which did not renew at the end of its 2023 fiscal year. On a pro forma basis, excluding the revenue recognized from the SaaS contract that did not renew, SaaS revenue grew 19% during the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2023, and 21% during the six months ended July 31, 2024, compared to the same period in fiscal 2023.

Net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 was ($2.8 million) compared to a net loss of ($2.5 million) during the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The increased net loss during the second quarter of fiscal 2024 reflected lower total revenues, higher interest expense and non-cash valuation adjustments offset by a $1.7 million reduction in operating expenses resulting from the Company’s strategic restructuring executed during fiscal 2023. Net loss for the six months ended July 31, 2024 was ($5.5 million) compared to ($5.4 million) in the same period of fiscal 2023. The slight increase in net loss resulted from lower revenues and higher interest and valuation adjustment expenses offset by cost savings achieved through the previously announced strategic restructuring.

Cash and cash equivalents as of July 31, 2024, were $3.5 million compared to $3.2 million as of January 31, 2024. The Company had no outstanding balance on its revolving credit facility as of July 31, 2024, compared to $1.5 million as of January 31, 2024.

Fiscal Second Quarter and Six Months Ended July 31, 2024 Non-GAAP Financial Results

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 was ($0.3 million) compared to ($0.9 million) during the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended July 31, 2024, was ($1.0 million) compared to ($2.2 million) during the same period in fiscal 2023. The significant improvement of adjusted EBITDA despite lower total revenue is the result of the Company’s focus on the growth of its SaaS revenue solutions as well as significant cost savings achieved through the previously announced strategic restructuring.

As of July 31, 2024, the Company’s total Booked SaaS Annual Contract Value (“ACV”) was $13.6 million compared to $15.0 million as of January 31, 2024. During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the company won new contracts which totaled $0.8 million of ACV and received notifications of non-renewals for contracts with aggregate ACV of $2.8 million. Clients gave various reasons for their non-renewal, including full outsourcing of health system revenue cycles. $10.7 million of the Booked SaaS ACV was implemented as of July 31, 2024 compared to $11.1 million as of January 31, 2024.

Booked SaaS ACV represents the annualized value of all executed SaaS contracts, including contracts that have not been fully implemented as of the measurement date, assuming any contract that expires during the twelve months following the measurement date is renewed on its existing terms unless the Company has knowledge of the non-renewal.

The Company reiterated that it believes its adjusted EBITDA breakeven run rate is $15.5 million of implemented SaaS ARR, but due to the aforementioned client non-renewals, the Company has revised its expected timeline to achieve this run rate from the second half of fiscal 2024 to the second half of fiscal 2025. Due to the continued unpredictability of timing related to the closing of new contracts, the Company has not provided more specific guidance related to the timing of bookings.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Streamline reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Streamline’s management also evaluates and makes operating decisions using various other measures. One such measure is adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Streamline’s management believes that this measure provides useful supplemental information regarding the performance of Streamline’s business operations.

Streamline defines “adjusted EBITDA” as net earnings (loss) plus interest expense, tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense of tangible and intangible assets, share-based compensation expense, significant non-recurring operating expenses, restructuring expenses, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets and transactional related expenses including: gains and losses on debt and equity conversions, associate severances and related alignment expenses, associate inducements, and professional and advisory fees. A table reconciling this measure to “net loss,” to the extent relevant items were recognized in the periods covered, is included in this press release.

Booked SaaS ACV represents the annualized value of all executed SaaS contracts, including contracts that have not been fully implemented, as of the measurement date, assuming any contract that expires during the twelve months following the measurement date is renewed on its existing terms unless the Company has knowledge of the non-renewal. Booked SaaS ACV should be viewed independently of revenue and does not represent revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP on an annualized basis, as it is an operating metric that can be impacted by contract execution start and end dates and renewal rates. Booked SaaS ACV is not intended to be a replacement for, or forecast of, revenue. There is no GAAP measure comparable to Booked SaaS ACV.
