TORONTO, Nov. 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VitalHub Corp. (the “Company” or “VitalHub”) (TSX:VHI) (OTCQX:VHIBF) announced today it has filed its Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis report for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, with the Canadian securities authorities. These documents may be viewed under the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com.

“Our well-established business foundation continues to drive robust financial performance. In Q3 2023, VitalHub delivered another solid quarter, demonstrating consistent growth in revenue, gross profits, net income, and cash generation,” said Dan Matlow, Chief Executive Officer of VitalHub. “This can be attributed to our unwavering commitment to expanding our healthcare product portfolio, further integrating into healthcare networks, and broadening our geographical reach. Strong double-digit year-over-year growth was delivered in all of our revenue streams: term licences, maintenance and support; perpetual licenses; services; and hardware. Our business continues to drive ARR ^(1,2) organic growth evident from sequential quarter-over-quarter growth of 4%. Compared to Q3 2022, ARR ^(1,2) increased 38% or $11.6 million to $42.6 million, with 17% attributed to organic growth. Adjusted EBITDA ⁽²⁾ increased 59% or $1.3 million to $3.4 million (26% of revenue) from Q3 2022. Net income before income taxes increased to $2.8 million compared to $0.4 million in Q3 2022. Excluding a one-time tax reversal, Q3 2023 net income was $1.8 million representing $0.04 per fully diluted share. We closed the quarter with $29.8 million in cash on hand, a sequential increase of $6.9 million, and combined with the availability of our Bank of Nova Scotia Facility, we currently have $62.8 million to continue progressing both our go-to-market and acquisition strategies. As evidenced by our robust organic growth, we are penetrating further into core accounts, expanding horizontally into adjacent markets, and driving deeper into our core geographies. We look forward to continuing this momentum as we close out 2023 and look forward into 2024.”

VitalHub Corp’s quarterly investor conference call will take place on Friday, November 10^th, 2023, at 9:00AM EST.

Third Quarter 2023 Highlights

• Revenue of $13,224,264 as compared to $9,780,553 in the equivalent prior year period, an increase of $3,443,711 or 35%.
  
  
• Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 82% compared to 80% in the equivalent prior year period (Q2 2023 - 81%).
  
  • The increase in Q3 2023 was primarily due to an increase in higher margin maintenance and support revenues in the quarter, coupled with an ongoing effort to reduce costs and gain operating cost synergies.
    
    
• ARR ⁽¹⁻²⁾ at September 30, 2023, was $42,612,166 as compared to $41,008,702 at June 30, 2023.
  • ARR ⁽¹⁻²⁾ growth was largely due to organic growth of $1,475,976 or 4% (16.3% annualized). ARR ⁽¹⁻²⁾ also benefitted by a gain of $127,489 or 0.3% due to the increase in the US dollar relative to the Canadian dollar in the quarter.
    
    
• EBITDA ⁽²⁾ of $2,928,358 compared to $1,389,065 in the equivalent prior year period, an increase of $1,539,293 or 111%.
• Adjusted EBITDA ⁽²⁾ of $3,411,871 or 26% of revenue, compared to $2,151,753 or 22% of revenue in the equivalent prior year period, an increase of $1,260,118 or 59%.
  • The increase in EBITDA ⁽²⁾ and adjusted EBITDA ⁽²⁾ from Q3 2022 to Q3 2023 was primarily attributable to the higher recurring revenues of $10,821,758 in Q3 2023, as compared to $7,657,559 in Q3 2022, coupled with an ongoing effort to reduce costs and gain operating cost synergies.
    
    
• Net income before income taxes of $1,820,543 as compared to a net income of $409,498 in the equivalent prior year period, an increase of $1,411,045 or 78%.
  
  • The increase was primarily attributable to the significant increase in revenues from organic growth and acquisitions, coupled with an ongoing effort to reduce costs and gain operating cost synergies.

Nine Month 2023 Highlights

• Revenue of $38,904,879 as compared to $28,681,209 in the equivalent prior year period, an increase of $10,223,670 or 36%.
  
  
• Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 81% compared to 82% in the equivalent prior year period.
  
  • Gross profit as a percentage of revenue is largely dependent upon the sales mix, with perpetual and term licenses, maintenance and support generating a higher margin than consulting services and hardware revenue. The decrease of 1% was primarily due to the unusual volume of high margin perpetual license sales of $2,767,253 in Q1 2022, coupled with an ongoing effort to reduce costs and gain operating cost synergies.
    
    
• ARR ⁽¹⁻²⁾ at September 30, 2023 was $42,612,166 as compared to $30,967,215 at September 30, 2022, an increase of $11,644,951 or 38%.
  • ARR ⁽¹⁻²⁾ benefited from organic growth of $5,373,855 or 17%; growth from acquisitions of $4,100,854 or 13%, and a gain of $2,170,242 or 7.0% primarily due to the fluctuation in the GBP pound relative to the Canadian dollar.
    
    
• EBITDA ⁽²⁾ of $6,895,569 compared to $4,779,798 in the equivalent prior year period, an increase of $2,115,771 or 44%.
• Adjusted EBITDA ⁽²⁾ of $9,305,973 or 24% of revenue, compared to $7,069,334 or 25% of revenue in the equivalent prior year period, an increase of $2,236,639 or 32%.
  • The increase in EBITDA ⁽²⁾ and adjusted EBITDA ⁽²⁾ from Q3 2022 to Q3 2023 was primarily attributable to the higher recurring revenues of $31,029,887 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $20,623,096 in the equivalent prior year period, coupled with an ongoing effort to reduce costs and gain operating cost synergies.
    
    
• Cash on hand at September 30, 2023 was $29,794,692 compared to $17,452,210 as at December 31, 2022, and an increase of $6.9 million sequentially compared to Q2 2023.
  
  • After spending approximately $1.8M on acquisitions in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company has been able to grow the cash balance, due to continued revenue growth (both organically and through acquisition) combined with an ongoing effort to reduce costs and gain operating cost synergies.
    
    
• Net income before income taxes of $3,343,487 as compared to $1,963,057 in the equivalent prior year period, an increase of $1,380,430 or 41%.
  • The change in net income was primarily attributable to higher revenues from maintenance and support, services and hardware.
