“We are excited to report record revenue of $38.3 million in the third quarter, a $6.7 million year-over-year increase,” said A. Hadi Chaudhry, CareCloud’s Chief Executive Officer and President. “We are on track to achieve another year with 30% or more year-over-year revenue growth while we more than double our adjusted EBITDA. That would make 2021 our fifth consecutive year with over 25% annual revenue growth. We achieved these record results through a combination of organic growth and our acquisition of medSR on June 1, 2021, as well as our relentless focus on reducing costs in our acquired companies to improve our operating efficiencies.”
“We are very proud to report positive GAAP net income of $1.5 million this quarter, in addition to a record $6.7 million in adjusted EBITDA, representing our eighteenth consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA,” continued Hadi Chaudhry. “We are pleased to give investors the opportunity to invest in a company achieving both rapid growth and profitability.”
Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Revenue for the third quarter 2021 was a record $38.3 million, an increase of $6.7 million or 21% from the third quarter of 2020.
Bill Korn, Chief Financial Officer, commented “Revenue was a new record for the Company, 12% above our previous all-time high, set last quarter. Our annualized revenue run rate is now $150 million, which is 43% above our 2020 revenue and 133% above our 2019 revenue. This is proof that our strategy of growing through a combination of organic and strategic growth continues to allow us to grow revenue significantly faster than the industry.”
Third quarter 2021 GAAP net income was $1.5 million, as compared to a net loss of $1.7 million in the same period last year and a net loss of $227,000 in second quarter 2021. “While the management team looks at adjusted EBITDA and cash flow from operations as the primary indicators of whether our business is growing in a sustainable way, achieving positive GAAP profitability of well over $1 million this quarter is a great milestone showing our progress,” remarked Bill Korn.
GAAP net loss was $0.15 per share, based on the net loss attributable to common shareholders, which takes into account the preferred stock dividends declared during the quarter.
Non-GAAP adjusted net income for third quarter 2021 was $6.1 million, or $0.41 per share, and is calculated using the end-of-period common shares outstanding. “Non-GAAP adjusted net income exceeds the quarterly dividend paid to preferred shareholders, which is a metric investors often pay attention to,” Bill Korn noted. “Since non-GAAP adjusted net income excludes non-cash expenses like depreciation and amortization, it is a good indicator that our steady-state operating cash flow exceeds our dividend.”
Adjusted EBITDA for third quarter 2021 was $6.7 million, or 17% of revenue, compared to $4.2 million in the same period last year. CareCloud’s adjusted EBITDA increased by approximately $2.5 million from Q3 2020, in large part due to the cost savings resulting from integrating the businesses the Company acquired during 2020. “Adjusted EBITDA set a new record, growing by 58% from third quarter last year, 18% from our last quarter and 17% from our previous record,” stated Bill Korn.
Nine Month 2021 Financial Results
Revenue for the first nine months of 2021 was $102.1 million, an increase of 40% compared to $73.1 million in the first nine months of 2020. Revenue for nine months of 2021 was just $3.0 million less than full-year revenue for all of 2020, and was $37.7 million greater than full-year revenue for 2019.
Bill Korn remarked, “Approximately 82% of our year-to-date revenue involved the use of our technology, including clients using our core technology suite (approximately 50% of our revenue), clients using one or more components of our technology (approximately 22% of revenue), or clients where we are providing IT services utilizing our technology processes and know-how (approximately 10% of our revenue). Another 7% of revenue came from clients where we are providing solely revenue cycle management services, 9% of revenue is from clients where we are managing their entire medical practice, and approximately 2% of revenue comes from other services.”

For the first nine months of 2021, the Company’s GAAP net loss was $686,000, compared to a GAAP net loss of $9.0 million in the first nine months of 2020. GAAP net loss per share was $0.77, based on the net loss attributable to common shareholders.
Non-GAAP adjusted net income for the first nine months of 2021 was $13.5 million or $0.91 per share, an increase of $10.0 million over adjusted net income of $3.5 million in the first nine months of 2020.
During this period, our adjusted EBITDA was $16.0 million, an increase of $10.8 million or 210% from $5.2 million in the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA for nine months for 2021 is $5.1 million greater than full-year 2020 and $7.9 million greater than full year 2019, reflecting the cost savings from previous acquisitions.
Cash Balances and Capital
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $9.3 million of cash, including restricted cash. During the third quarter 2021, cash flow from operations was approximately $5.1 million. Our net working capital on September 30, 2021 was approximately $9.9 million.
On September 30, 2021, the Company had approximately 5,295,000 shares of non-convertible Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. These shares pay monthly cash dividends of approximately $0.23 per share, but they are fully redeemable at any time the Company chooses. Bill Korn commented “Our Preferred Stock has been a great way to finance our rapid growth without restrictive covenants. Now that it is redeemable, management is evaluating several options to start redeeming the Preferred in ways that are accretive to common stockholders and prepare us for the next stage of our growth.”

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
TO COMPARABLE GAAP MEASURES (UNAUDITED)
The following is a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used by us to describe our financial results determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading “Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the underlying performance of our business operations, investors are reminded to consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, it should be noted that these non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies, and management may utilize other measures to illustrate performance in the future. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP.

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 in accordance with GAAP. These items result from facts and circumstances that vary in frequency and impact on continuing operations. Management also uses results of operations before such items to evaluate the operating performance of CareCloud 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. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional means of evaluating period-over-period operating performance. In addition, management understands that some investors and financial analysts find this information helpful in analyzing our financial and operational performance and comparing this performance to our peers and competitors.
Management uses adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, and non-GAAP adjusted net income to provide an understanding of aspects of operating results before the impact of investing and financing charges and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA may be useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance and liquidity because this measure excludes non-cash expenses as well as expenses pertaining to investing or financing transactions. Management defines “adjusted EBITDA” as the sum of GAAP net income (loss) before provision for (benefit from) income taxes, net interest expense, other (income) expense, stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, integration costs, transaction costs, impairment charges and changes in contingent consideration.
Management defines “non-GAAP adjusted operating income” as the sum of GAAP operating income (loss) before stock-based compensation expense, amortization of purchased intangible assets, integration costs, transaction costs, impairment charges and changes in contingent consideration, and “non-GAAP adjusted operating margin” as non-GAAP adjusted operating income divided by net revenue.

Management defines “non-GAAP adjusted net income” as the sum of GAAP net income (loss) before stock-based compensation expense, amortization of purchased intangible assets, other (income) expense, integration costs, transaction costs, impairment charges changes in contingent consideration, any tax impact related to these preceding items and income tax expense related to goodwill, and “non-GAAP adjusted net income per share” as non-GAAP adjusted net income divided by common shares outstanding at the end of the period, including the shares which were issued but are subject to forfeiture and considered contingent consideration.
Management considers all of these non-GAAP financial measures to be important indicators of our operational strength and performance of our business and a good measure of our historical operating trends, in particular the extent to which ongoing operations impact our overall financial performance.
In addition to items routinely excluded from non-GAAP EBITDA, management excludes or adjusts each of the items identified below from the applicable non-GAAP financial measure referenced above for the reasons set forth with respect to that excluded item:
Foreign exchange / other expense. Other expense is excluded because foreign currency gains and losses and other non-operating expenses are expenditures that management does not consider part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of our business, and also because the total amount of the expense is partially outside of our control. Foreign currency gains and losses are based on global market factors which are unrelated to our performance during the period in which the gains and losses are recorded.
Stock-based compensation expense. Stock-based compensation expense is excluded because this is primarily a non-cash expenditure that management does not consider part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of our business, and also because the total amount of the expenditure is partially outside of our control because it is based on factors such as stock price, volatility, and interest rates, which may be unrelated to our performance during the period in which the expenses are incurred. Stock-based compensation expense includes cash-settled awards based on changes in the stock price.
Amortization of purchased intangible assets. Purchased intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives and generally cannot be changed or influenced by management after the acquisition. Accordingly, this item is not considered by management in making operating decisions. Management does not believe such charges accurately reflect the performance of our ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are recorded.
Transaction costs. Transaction costs are upfront costs related to acquisitions and related transactions, such as brokerage fees, pre-acquisition accounting costs and legal fees, and other upfront costs related to specific transactions. Management believes that such expenses do not have a direct correlation to future business operations, and therefore, these costs are not considered by management in making operating decisions. Management does not believe such charges accurately reflect the performance of our ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are incurred.

Integration costs. Integration costs are severance payments for certain employees relating to our acquisitions and exit costs related to terminating leases and other contractual agreements. Accordingly, management believes that such expenses do not have a direct correlation to future business operations, and therefore, these costs are not considered by management in making operating decisions. Management does not believe such charges accurately reflect the performance of our ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are incurred.
Loss on lease termination, impairment and unoccupied lease charges. Loss on lease termination represents the write-off of leasehold improvements as a result of an early lease termination. Impairment charges primarily represent remaining lease and termination fees associated with discontinued facilities and a non-cancellable vendor contract where the services are no longer being used. Unoccupied lease charges represent the portion of lease and related costs for vacant space not being utilized by the Company. Accordingly, management believes that such expenses do not have a direct correlation to future business operations, and therefore, these costs are not considered by management in making operating decisions. Management does not believe such charges accurately reflect the performance of our ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are incurred.
Income tax expense (benefit) related to goodwill. Income tax expense (benefit) resulting from the amortization of goodwill related to our acquisitions represents a charge (benefit) to record the tax effect resulting from amortizing goodwill over 15 years for tax purposes. Goodwill is not amortized for GAAP reporting. This expense is not anticipated to result in a cash payment.
