Medical Transcription Billing, Corp. (MTBC) Announces Third Medical Transcription Billing, Corp. (MTBC) Announces Third Quarter Results
Before the opening bell, Medical Transcription Billing, Corp. (NASDAQ: MTBC; MTBCP) announced its financial and operational results for the third quarter of 2016, including a review of the October acquisition of MediGain, LLC and subsidiary Millennium Practice Management, LLC, which was the company’s largest acquisition to date. Notably, MTBC’s revenues for the three-month period were $5.3 million, up from $5.2 million in the previous quarter. The company also achieved its fourth consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA, reporting $130,000 for the third quarter and $209,000 year-to-date.
“We are pleased to announce another quarter of quarter-over-quarter revenue growth,” Mahmud Haq, chairman and chief executive officer of MTBC, stated in this morning’s news release. “Even though we continue to report a GAAP net loss, which is largely a result of non-cash amortization and depreciation expense, we are proud to report four consecutive quarters of positive adjusted EBITDA.”
Perhaps MTBC’s most significant achievement in the third quarter, the acquisition of Texas-based medical billing company MediGain, LLC, including substantially all of its assets and its subsidiary, positioned the company to build on its recent financial momentum moving forward. In total, the accounts in good standing acquired through this transaction have annual revenues in excess of $10 million. At a purchase price of just $7 million, the MediGain acquisition is expected to be accretive to MTBC shareholders in 2017, as incremental profits are expected to greatly exceed cost of capital. The acquisition also expanded MTBC’s global workforce, adding experienced team members in North America, as well as talented, cost-effective workforces in Asia.
“The successful closing of this transaction has positioned MTBC to experience exponential growth through access to new, untapped markets,” Haq continued. “In turn, we expect to expand our client base and deliver significant revenue growth in 2017.”
MTBC also reiterated plans for an upcoming offering of additional shares of its non-convertible Series A Preferred Stock in this morning’s update. The company is currently preparing to file a registration statement to sell 400,000 additional shares of its 11 percent Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Non-Convertible Preferred Stock at a price of $25 per share. If all of the shares are sold, the offering will generate roughly $9 million, of which $5 million will be used for the remaining payments related to the MediGain acquisition. This offering is not dilutive to shareholders and is expected to play a key role in positioning MTBC for forward growth.
Following this morning’s release, MTBC management hosted a conference call to discuss the results. An audio webcast of the call will be made available to the investment community on the company’s investor relations website at https://ir.mtbc.com.
