MOBILE, Ala.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$CPSI–CPSI (NASDAQ: CPSI), a community healthcare solutions company, today announced results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020.

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share, payable on August 31, 2020, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 17, 2020.

Total revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, were $59.5 million, compared with total revenues of $66.2 million for the prior-year second quarter. GAAP net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, was $1.8 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared with $1.7 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. Cash provided by operations for the second quarter of 2020 was $17.2 million, compared with $9.6 million for the prior-year quarter. Net debt at June 30, 2020, was $83.4 million.

Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020, were $129.3 million, compared with total revenues of $135.3 million for the prior-year period. GAAP net income for the six months ended June 30, 2020, was $5.9 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, compared with $5.1 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Cash provided by operations for the first six months of 2020 was $24.8 million, compared with $17.5 million for the prior-year period.

“Though the Covid-19 pandemic has continued to put pressure on healthcare providers and organizations across the country, we are very pleased with how our employees and our business rose to the challenge in the second quarter,” said Boyd Douglas, president and chief executive officer of CPSI. “With 90% of our employees working from home, our team has provided dependable support to our clients and delivered a steady stream of strategic innovations, including our 100% remote implementation methodology, virtual service and support, telehealth solutions, and new products from American HealthTech and TruBridge. Despite the difficulties of selling remotely, our second quarter total bookings of $20.0 million were up 36% over total bookings from the second quarter of 2019. For the first half of 2020, our $39.3 million in total bookings also represented an increase of 37% compared with the first half of 2019.

“Our acute care bookings this quarter remained strong at $11.9 million, and the percentage of bookings for subscription services increased as we continue to emphasize recurring revenue growth. In addition, our post-acute care bookings were the highest since the fourth quarter of 2016. However, as expected, lower hospital volumes put downward pressure on revenues and bookings from our TruBridge revenue cycle outsourcing services in the second quarter, though we have since seen stabilization or improvement in volumes across most TruBridge services.”

Commenting on the Company’s financial performance for the second quarter, Matt Chambless, chief financial officer of CPSI, stated, “Covid-19 reduced hospital volumes and created obstacles for new Electronic Health Record (EHR) implementations and sales efforts, which weighed on revenues. We continue to manage our costs strategically, using our operating and financial strength to pursue our long-term strategic initiatives. The refinancing we completed during the second quarter further supported these objectives by increasing our financial flexibility and reducing our interest expense.

“Despite the current environment, operating cash flows nearly doubled from the second quarter of 2019 to the second-highest quarterly amount in Company history, continuing a trend that built significant momentum during 2019. Over the last 12 months, we have generated $51.0 million of operating cash flows. We view this development as a testament to the resiliency of our business, the essential nature of our products and services, and our unrelenting commitment to supporting our clients efficiently in difficult conditions.”

Douglas added, “Our top priorities remain protecting our employees and clients and ensuring our communities have access to safe, quality healthcare, which is more important now than ever. Our clients continue to weather the disruption and uncertainty that has come with the Covid-19 pandemic. With the strength of our operations, balance sheet and cash flow, we have been able to focus on what is important to them, including providing the innovative solutions, services and support that they need today and well into the future.”

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, 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 (loss) as reported and adjusts for (i) depreciation expense; (ii) amortization of software development costs; (iii) amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets; (iv) stock-based compensation; (v) severance and other non-recurring expenses; (vi) interest expense and other, net; and (vii) the provision for income taxes.
• Non-GAAP net income – Non-GAAP net income consists of GAAP net income (loss) as reported and adjusts for (i) amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets; (ii) stock-based compensation; (iii) severance and other non-recurring expenses; (iv) non-cash charges to interest expense; (v) loss on extinguishment of debt; and (vi) the total tax effect of items (i) through (v). Adjustments to Non-GAAP net income also include the after-tax effect of the shortfall from stock-based compensation.
• 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 software development costs – Amortization of software development costs is a non-cash expense resulting from the application of U.
