The earnings call showed mixed results: improved cash flow and debt reduction are positives, but revenue growth is modest. The Q&A highlighted delays in bookings and uncertainties in Medicaid funding. While guidance was revised, the EBITDA outlook is stronger. However, the lack of specific guidance details and potential delays temper enthusiasm. Overall, the stock is likely to remain stable, reflecting a neutral sentiment.
Bookings $15.5 million on a TCV basis in Q3 2025, compared to $25.6 million sequentially and $21 million year-over-year. The decline is attributed to a focus on improving the quality of bookings and investments in higher-margin deals.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin 16.5% for 2024, a 340 basis point improvement from 13.1% in 2023. For 2025, it is on track to reach 19%, yielding another 260 basis points increase. The improvement is due to cost optimization and ROI-driven decisions.
Free Cash Flow $15 million year-to-date in 2025, compared to a cash outflow of $5 million in the corresponding period in 2023. The improvement is driven by disciplined cost management and working capital improvements.
Debt Reduction Debt reduced by approximately $35 million since January 2024, improving the net leverage ratio from 4.4x in Q4 2023 to approximately 2.2x by Q3 2025. This reflects disciplined debt reduction efforts.
Total Revenue $86.1 million in Q3 2025, a 2% increase year-over-year. Normalizing for the $1 million impact from the sunset of the Centriq product, revenue would have been up 2.8%.
Financial Health Revenue $54.5 million in Q3 2025, flat year-over-year. Growth in CBO business and Encoder revenue was offset by slower performance in other products.
Patient Care Revenue $31.6 million in Q3 2025, reflecting 5.3% year-over-year growth. Excluding the Centriq product sunset, growth would have been 8.9%. The growth is driven by SaaS and nonrecurring revenues.
Patient Care Gross Margin Approximately 60% in Q3 2025, a 370 basis point increase year-over-year. The improvement is due to operational efficiencies in vendor spend and labor costs.
Adjusted EBITDA $16.3 million in Q3 2025, with an 18.9% margin, representing a 155 basis point improvement compared to 17.3% in Q3 2024. The improvement is driven by gross profit improvement and disciplined cost management.
Cash Balance $19.9 million at the end of Q3 2025, an increase of $11.3 million (132%) year-over-year and $7.6 million sequentially. The increase is driven by improved profitability, lower interest expense, and disciplined working capital management.
Encoder business improvements: Investments in the Encoder business have allowed the company to win higher-margin deals and increase financial health bookings in the 100- to 400-bed space from less than 20% in 2024 to more than 30% in 2025.
Market expansion in 100-400 bed space: The company has increased its financial health bookings in the 100- to 400-bed space, creating more opportunities for improved bookings performance.
Operational efficiencies: Adjusted EBITDA margins have expanded approximately 600 basis points from 2023 to year-end 2025. Free cash flow improved by $20 million year-to-date, and debt was reduced by $35 million since January 2024. Cost optimization and ROI-driven assessments have been implemented, resulting in significant margin improvements.
Offshore transition: The company has restarted its offshore transition process with a measured approach, ensuring stability and customer satisfaction. This is expected to contribute to margin expansion in 2026 and beyond.
Leadership changes: Mike Daughton was appointed as Chief Business Officer to enhance sales, marketing, and client success efforts, aiming to improve bookings and revenue growth.

Bookings Performance: Q3 bookings were underwhelming, dropping to $15.5 million compared to $25.6 million sequentially and $21 million year-over-year. This decline in bookings performance could impact revenue growth and financial stability.
Pipeline Conversion Challenges: Pipeline conversion issues in Q3 restricted bookings, though there are signs of improvement in Q4. This inconsistency in pipeline conversion poses risks to predictable revenue generation.
Offshore Transition Risks: The offshore transition process, while aimed at cost optimization, carries risks of customer dissatisfaction, operational disruption, and potential quality issues during the transition phase.

Labor and Operational Costs: While labor efficiencies were achieved, incremental investments in stabilization efforts for the CBO business offset these gains, posing challenges to margin improvement.
Economic and Market Conditions: The company operates in a complex operational backdrop, which could include economic uncertainties and market pressures that are beyond management's control.
Bookings Performance: While Q3 bookings were underwhelming, Q4 sales efforts have started strong, with October outperforming typical expectations. The company anticipates improved pipeline conversion and higher-quality bookings in the future.
Offshore Transition: The offshore transition process is progressing, with plans to accelerate in 2026. The company is focused on ensuring stability, communication, and customer satisfaction during this transition, which is expected to drive margin expansion in 2026 and beyond.
Client Retention: Efforts to enhance client success quality and operational efficiency are expected to improve long-term client retention. Renewals were stronger in Q3 compared to Q2, and this trend is continuing into Q4.
