Commenting on the results, Chris Fowler, chief executive officer of TruBridge, Inc., stated, “We are pleased with the strong results our team delivered this quarter. Our Financial Health business is showing solid growth and adjusted EBITDA margin is expanding as anticipated. On a recent trip to India, I was able to witness firsthand the impressive work our team is doing to successfully execute the Viewgol integration. I am happy to report that everything is moving along smoothly, and we remain focused on optimizing operations and realizing margin improvements over time.

“Our recently launched analytics offering is starting to resonate with our initial customers, and we believe that, over time, it has the potential to become a contributor to our growth strategy. We have delivered consistent results so far in 2024, made steady progress on our ongoing initiatives and generated bookings and a pipeline that give us confidence in our outlook as we move into 2025,” concluded Fowler.

Executive Leadership Changes

TruBridge also announced today the elevation of the Company’s business unit general managers to report directly to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, reflecting the expanded scope and evolution of these roles. In conjunction with this move, David Dye will be retiring from his role as Chief Operating Officer, effective December 31, 2024, at which time the Company will eliminate that position. He will serve the remainder of his board term through completion in 2026. Dye has been with the Company since 1990, having held many roles in addition to his current position, including Chairman, Chief Growth Officer, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer.

Glenn Tobin, chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, added, “On behalf of our Board of Directors and the entire TruBridge organization, I want to express my appreciation for David and his decades of contribution. David’s leadership and numerous accomplishments have been integral to TruBridge’s success, and his positive impact has been felt by many employees over the years.”

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 that are prepared in accordance with GAAP. These items result from facts and circumstances that vary in frequency and impact on continuing operations. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in order 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 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. In addition, management understands that some investors and financial analysts find these non-GAAP financial measures helpful in analyzing our financial and operational performance and comparing this performance to our peers and competitors.

As such, to supplement the GAAP information provided, we present in this press release and during the live webcast discussing our financial results the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Non-GAAP net income, and Non-GAAP earnings per share (“EPS”).

We calculate each of these non-GAAP financial measures as follows:

  • Adjusted EBITDA – Adjusted EBITDA consists of GAAP net income as reported and adjusts for (i) depreciation expense; (ii) amortization of software development costs; (iii) amortization of acquisition-related intangibles; (iv) stock-based compensation; (v) severance and other nonrecurring charges; (vi) interest expense; (vii) change in fair value of contingent consideration; (viii) loss on asset held for sale; (ix) gain on sale of AHT; and (x) the provision (benefit) for income taxes.
  • Adjusted EBITDA Margin – Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, divided by total revenue.
  • Non-GAAP net income – Non-GAAP net income consists of GAAP net income as reported and adjusts for (i) amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets; (ii) stock-based compensation; (iii) severance and other non-recurring charges; (iv) non-cash interest expense; (v) gain on sale of AHT; and (vi) the total tax effect of items (i) through (v).
  • Non-GAAP EPS – Non-GAAP EPS consists of Non-GAAP net income, as defined above, divided by weighted average shares outstanding (diluted) in the applicable period.

Certain of the items excluded or adjusted to arrive at these non-GAAP financial measures are described below:

  • Amortization of acquisition-related intangibles – Acquisition-related amortization expense is a non-cash expense arising primarily from the acquisition of intangible assets in connection with acquisitions or investments. We exclude acquisition-related amortization expense from non-GAAP financial measures because we believe (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations and (ii) such expenses can vary significantly between periods as a result of new acquisitions and full amortization of previously acquired intangible assets. Investors should note that the use of these intangible assets contributed to revenue in the periods presented and will contribute to future revenue generation, and the related amortization expense will recur in future periods.
  • Stock-based compensation – Stock-based compensation expense is a non-cash expense arising from the grant of stock-based awards. We exclude stock-based compensation expense from non-GAAP financial measures because we believe (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations and (ii) such expenses can vary significantly between periods as a result of the timing and valuation of grants of new stock-based awards, including grants in connection with acquisitions. Investors should note that stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to employees whose efforts contributed to the operating results in the periods presented and are expected to contribute to operating results in future periods, and such expense will recur in future periods.
  • Severance and other nonrecurring charges – Non-recurring charges relate to certain severance and other charges incurred in connection with activities that are considered non-recurring. We exclude non-recurring expenses (primarily related to costs associated with our recent business transformation initiative and transaction-related costs) from non-GAAP financial measures because we believe (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations and (ii) such expenses can vary significantly between periods.
  • Non-cash Interest expense – Non-cash interest expense includes amortization of deferred debt issuance costs. We exclude non-cash interest expense from non-GAAP financial measures because we believe these non-cash amounts relate to specific transactions and, as such, may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations.
  • Interest expense: Interest expense represents (i) interest incurred on our term loan and revolving credit facility and (ii) non-cash interest expense. We exclude interest expense from non-GAAP financial measures because we believe these amounts relate to specific transactions and, as such, may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations.
  • Change in fair value of contingent consideration: The purchase agreement for our acquisition of Viewgol in 2023 contained contingent consideration, or “earnout,” provisions whereby the previous shareholders of Viewgol would receive additional consideration depending on the achievement of certain performance metrics. After the initial measurement period, U.S. GAAP requires that any adjustments to the estimated fair value of this contingent liability, including upon final determination of amounts due, should be recorded in the relevant period’s earnings. We exclude gains on contingent consideration from non-GAAP financial measures because we believe (i) the amount of such gains in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations and (ii) such gains can vary significantly between periods.
  • Loss on assets held for sale: Loss on assets held for sale represents the excess of book value of assets sold over the proceeds received in connection with the sale of real estate assets during the period. We exclude loss on sale of real estate assets held for sale from non-GAAP financial measures because we believe (i) the amount of such gains gain or loss in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations and (ii) such gains gain or loss can vary significantly between periods.
  • Gain on sale of AHT: Gain on sale of AHT represents the excess of proceeds received over the net assets sold from our sale of AHT, our previously wholly-owned post-acute business, in January 2024. We exclude gain on sale of AHT from non-GAAP financial measures because we believe the amount relates to specific transaction and, as such, may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations
  • Tax shortfall (windfall) from stock-based compensation – ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, became effective for the Company during the third quarter of 2017 and changes the treatment of tax shortfall and excess tax benefits arising from stock based compensation arrangements. Prior to ASU 2016-09, these amounts were recorded as an increase (for excess benefits) or decrease (for shortfalls) to additional paid-in capital. With the adoption of ASU 2016-09, these amounts are now captured in the period’s income tax expense. We exclude this component of income tax expense from non-GAAP financial measures because we believe (i) the amount of such expenses or benefits in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations; and (ii) such expenses or benefits can vary significantly between periods as a result of the valuation of grants of new stock-based awards, the timing of vesting of awards, and periodic movements in the fair value of our common stock.

Management considers 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, management may use Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP net income and/or Non-GAAP EPS to measure the achievement of performance objectives under the Company’s stock and cash incentive programs. Note, however, that these non-GAAP financial measures are performance measures only, and they do not provide any measure of cash flow or liquidity. Non-GAAP financial measures are not alternatives for measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures presented by other companies, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. Non-GAAP financial 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. Additionally, there is no certainty that we will not incur expenses in the future that are similar to those excluded in the calculations of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release. Investors and potential investors are encouraged to review the “Unaudited Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” above.
