November 06, 2023 | Last Trade: US$2.35 0.00 0.00

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Augmedix (Nasdaq: AUGX), a healthcare technology company that delivers industry-leading ambient medical documentation and data solutions, reported today financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

“The third quarter marked another period of strong progress for Augmedix as we continue to be a leader in the large and rapidly growing ambient medical documentation market,” commented Manny Krakaris, Chief Executive Officer at Augmedix. “Growing adoption of Augmedix Live and Augmedix Notes drove 50% revenue growth and net revenue retention of 157%, while expanding gross margins by 390 basis points to 49.5%. With strong revenue growth and improving profitability, we are on track to achieve our financial goals and are increasing our revenue guidance for 2023 accordingly.”

Continued Mr. Krakaris, “We are delivering strong financial results while expanding our product portfolio and building out the foundations of our data and platform strategies. We recently launched early access to Augmedix Go, our fully automated scalable AI medical documentation solution, and we continue to collaborate closely with HCA Healthcare to launch Augmedix Go for the emergency room setting. We have also forged strategic relationships with three innovative digital health companies as part of our open network and platform strategy. These vendor partners will be able to use our delivery platform through application programming interfaces (APIs) so that they and our health system partners can efficiently benefit and generate incremental ROI from our structured data and bi-directional communication channel to the point of care.”

“It is clearer than ever that there is a tremendous opportunity in front of Augmedix,” concluded Mr. Krakaris. “As healthcare systems lean into our ambient medical documentation technology to reduce the burden on clinicians and enhance operating efficiency, they are increasingly looking to leverage our structured data for insights and our bi-directional communication channel to deliver vital information that can effectuate change at the point of care. We are confident that addressing these expanded upstream and downstream requirements will create greater value for our customers and ultimately, our shareholders.”

Definition of Key Metrics

Dollar-Based Net Revenue Retention: We define a "Health Enterprise" as a company or network of doctors that has at least 50 clinicians currently employed or affiliated that could utilize our services. Dollar-based net revenue retention is determined as the revenue from Health Enterprises as of twelve months prior to such period end as compared to revenue from these same Health Enterprises as of the current period end, or current period revenue. Current period revenue includes any expansion or new products and is net of contraction or churn over the trailing twelve months but excludes revenue from new Health Enterprises in the current period. We believe growth in dollar-based net revenue retention is a key indicator of the performance of our business as it demonstrates our ability to increase revenue across our existing customer base through expansion of users and products, as well as our ability to retain existing customers.

Clinicians in Service: We define a clinician in service as an individual doctor, nurse practitioner or other healthcare professional using our services. We average the month-end number of clinicians in service for all months in the measurement period and the number of clinicians in service at the end of the month immediately preceding the measurement period. We believe growth in the number of clinicians in service is an indicator of the performance of our business as it demonstrates our ability to penetrate the market and grow our business.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: Non-GAAP gross profit, Non-GAAP gross margin, Non-GAAP Operating Expenses, EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our recurring core business operating results. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to our historical performance and liquidity as well as comparisons to our competitors' operating results. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors both because (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and (2) they are used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the health of our business.

There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures and evaluating these non-GAAP financial measures together with their relevant financial measures in accordance with GAAP.

For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Financial Measures table in this press release. This accompanying table includes details on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to Non-GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliations between these financial measures.
