RE:RE:RE:RE:reply from IR on incoming fast onboarding
RE:RE:RE:RE:reply from IR on incoming fast onboardingThe focus is on the wording - met prior guidance of the no. of patients onboard by the end of the calendar year. There no such thing on on-board numbers as prior “guidance”, only “expectation”, implying a projection.The prior guidance is on revenue growth of 100% then 50% - 100% then steady growth. Now this IR reply changes guidance directing to the number of patients. And I personally think is a mix-up without clarity. I maintain they really imply if they are to start now there is a chance to onboard the majority of patients in the big contracts, but just a “if”. The question is when can they start? They probably don’t know. All discussions so far is of inconsequential.

Revenue guidance shouldn't be given by early-stage development companies until process is figured out and there are multiple contracts and revenue has demonstrated a linear predictability. RHT had a lot of pressure put on its based upon the size of the deals and potential and provided dramatic guidance which it couldn't be certain of. It has now removed the spectacual guidance and is positioned to exceed expectations.
From the claim of profitability expected this year, to the timeline for the onboarding of large clients to the claim they really do see themselves catching up to Livongo rather quickly much expectation is still there but there is no specific revenue target that the market can get overworked about as RHT works through the kinks, establishes traction and matures past this difficult to predict early development stage.
