Financial Results:

Fourth Quarter 2019 Compared to Fourth Quarter 2018

Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2019 increased by $2.9 million, or 5 percent, to $62.7 million, compared to $59.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2018.

Revenues from our Workforce Solutions segment were $50.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to $49.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. Revenue growth of $1.8 million included a $1.6 million increase in revenue from our platform and content subscriptions, which was offset by a reduction in revenue from our legacy resuscitation products of $1.5 million. Revenues from legacy resuscitation products were $12.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to $14.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. The acquisition of Providigm, LLC, which was completed in January 2019, also added $1.7 million of revenue to the fourth quarter of 2019.

Revenues from our Provider Solutions segment were $11.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to $10.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. Revenue growth of $1.1 million was primarily attributable to professional services for client implementations and new VerityStream subscriptions.

Operating income was $3.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, up 18 percent from $2.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. The increase in operating income resulted primarily from the growth in revenue and lower royalties, but was partially offset by higher personnel costs and depreciation and amortization.

Income from continuing operations was $3.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, up 21 percent from $2.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, and EPS from continuing operations was $0.11 per share (diluted) in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to $0.09 per share (diluted) for the fourth quarter of 2018. Net income (from continuing and discontinued operations) was $3.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to $2.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. EPS was $0.11 per share (diluted) for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to $0.09 per share (diluted) for the fourth quarter of 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $11.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, up 18 percent from $9.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA (from continuing and discontinued operations) was $11.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, up 19 percent from $9.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2018.

At December 31, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $172.9 million. Capital expenditures incurred during the fourth quarter of 2019 were $4.7 million.

Full-Year 2019 Compared to Full-Year 2018

For 2019, revenues were $254.1 million, an increase of 10 percent over revenues of $231.6 million for 2018. Operating income for 2019 decreased by 5 percent to $14.7 million, compared to $15.5 million for 2018, and was negatively impacted by the approximately $2.2 million expense associated with the June 2019 stock grant to employees in connection with the contribution of stock by our CEO to the Company to enable a stock grant. Income from continuing operations for 2019 was $14.2 million, up 7 percent from $13.3 million for 2018. Earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.44 per share (diluted) for 2019, compared to $0.41 per share (diluted) for 2018. Net income for 2019 was $15.8 million, compared to $32.2 million for 2018, which decrease was primarily driven by the $19.0 million gain, net of tax, on the sale of the PX business in 2018. Earnings per share were $0.49 per share (diluted) for 2019, compared to $1.00 per share (diluted) for 2018. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations increased by 13 percent to $46.9 million for 2019, compared to $41.5 million for

HealthStream Announces Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2019 Results<br><br><br>Page 3<br><br><br>February 18, 2020
  1. Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $48.9 million for 2019, compared to $71.1 million for 2018, which decrease was driven primarily by the gain on the sale of the PX business in 2018.

Other Business Updates

At December 31, 2019, we had approximately 3.15 million contracted subscriptions to hStream™, our Platform-as-a-Service technology. hStream technology enables healthcare organizations and their respective workforces to easily connect to and gain value from the growing HealthStream ecosystem of applications, tools, data, and content.

On December 16, 2019, the Company acquired CredentialMyDoc, a Savannah-based company offering SaaS-based credentialing, enrollment, and privileging solutions to multi-specialty medical groups, ambulatory surgery centers, clinics, and federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), for $9.0 million in cash, subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment. The acquisition adds to the Company’s provider solutions with its intuitive, easy-to-use, and fast to implement solutions, enabling clients to receive the benefits and network effects of a larger and more robust ecosystem. The results of CredentialMyDoc have been included in the HealthStream Provider Solutions segment from the date of acquisition.

Financial Outlook for 2020

Below we present our 2020 financial guidance:

Full Year 2020 Guidance
Revenue
Workforce Solutions $ 197.0 - $ 203.0 million
Provider Solutions 50.5 - 52.5 million
Consolidated $ 247.5 - $ 255.5 million
Operating Income $ 12.0 - $ 14.5 million
Capital Expenditures $ 24.0 - $ 26.0 million
Annual Effective Income Tax Rate 23 - 25 percent

Our 2020 Workforce Solutions revenue guidance includes anticipated revenues of approximately $36.0 million from our legacy resuscitation products, representing a decline of $23.0 million from 2019. We expect the quarterly revenues from the legacy products to be as follows: approximately $11.0 million in first quarter, approximately $10.5 million in second quarter, approximately $8.5 million in third quarter, approximately $6.0 million in fourth quarter, and approximately zero thereafter. Our Provider Solutions revenue guidance includes approximately $1.5 million from the recently acquired CredentialMyDoc business.

Our operating income guidance of $12.0 million to $14.5 million is impacted by the anticipated reduction in legacy resuscitation revenues noted above coupled with an anticipated operating loss of $1.0 million related to the CredentialMyDoc acquisition. Also included in operating income guidance will be a one-time favorable contractual adjustment of $3.4 million to royalties expense resulting from our resolution of a mutual disagreement relating to various elements of a past partnership, which adjustment will be recorded in the first quarter of 2020.

“Our full-year 2019 results reflect an exciting year during which we made significant progress in expanding our ecosystem and marketplace, innovating for the future with new technologies, and launching new products for the healthcare industry,” said Robert A. Frist, Jr., Chief Executive Officer,

HealthStream Announces Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2019 Results<br><br><br>Page 4<br><br><br>February 18, 2020

HealthStream. “As we begin 2020, our operations are tightly focused as we work to improve gross margins to over 60 percent; continue introducing superior resuscitation solutions to the market—like our new VR-based team leader training; and further develop, enhance, and grow the number of hStream subscriptions beyond 3.15 million.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release presents adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and adjusted EBITDA, both of which are non-GAAP financial measures 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, stock based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and changes in fair value of non-marketable equity investments (“adjusted EBITDA”) is a useful measure for evaluating the operating performance of the Company because adjusted EBITDA reflects net income adjusted for certain non-cash and non-operating items. Management also believes that adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is a useful measure for evaluating the operating performance of the Company because such measure excludes the results of operations of the PX business that we no longer own and the gain on sale in connection with the sale of such business in February 2018 and thus reflects the Company’s ongoing business operations and assists in comparing the Company’s results of operations between periods. We also believe that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations are useful to many investors to assess the Company’s ongoing results from current operations. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered as measures of financial performance under GAAP. Because adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations are not measurements determined in accordance with GAAP, such non-GAAP financial measures are susceptible to varying calculations. Accordingly, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and have limitations as analytical tools.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered 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.
