"I believe that CareCloud truly sits at an inflection point, as we've evolved over the last 20 years since I joined the Company," said A. Hadi Chaudhry, CareCloud's Chief Executive Officer and President. "We began as a pure-play revenue cycle management company, became the leading consolidator of our industry, and evolved into a fully diversified provider of digital health and technology solutions. In 2021, we reported nearly $140 million in revenue, which represents 33% year-over-year growth, and our fifth consecutive year over 25%. At the same time, we more than doubled our adjusted EBITDA, and we reported positive GAAP net income for the first full year since we went public in 2014."

Full Year 2021 Financial Results

Revenue for 2021 was $139.6 million, an increase of 33% compared to $105.1 million in 2020. Revenue was more than double the full-year revenue for 2019.

Bill Korn, CareCloud's Chief Financial Officer remarked, "Approximately 83% of our revenue came from technology-enabled solutions, compared with 25% at the time we went public in July 2014 and 58% just three years ago. Clients using our core technology suite represented approximately 49% of our revenue, clients using one or more components of our technology accounted for approximately 21% of revenue, and clients where we are providing IT services utilizing our technology processes and know-how represented approximately 13% of our revenue. Another 6% of revenue came from clients where we are providing solely revenue cycle management services, down from 26% in 2018, 9% of revenue was from clients where we are managing their entire medical practice, and approximately 2% of revenue came from other services."

CareCloud's GAAP net income was $2.8 million, compared to a GAAP net loss of $8.8 million in 2020. This includes a gain of approximately $2.5 million from the decrease in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration anticipated to be paid in connection with the acquisition of medSR, based on seven months of performance. The actual contingent consideration will be computed based against their earn-out plan eighteen months after the acquisition. This is CareCloud's first year of positive GAAP net income since its IPO in 2014, and is approximately six times its previous record GAAP net income set in 2011, before incurring the costs associated with being a public company. GAAP net loss per share was $0.77, based on the net loss attributable to common shareholders, which takes into account the preferred stock dividends declared during the year.

Non-GAAP adjusted net income for 2021 was $18.5 million or $1.24 per share, an increase of $10.0 million over non-GAAP adjusted net income of $8.5 million in 2020. Non-GAAP adjusted net income excludes non-cash expenses such as depreciation and amortization as well as the gain from the change in contingent consideration.

Adjusted EBITDA was $22.1 million, an increase of $11.2 million or 103% from $10.9 million last year. Adjusted EBITDA reflects the cost savings from previous acquisitions.

Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Revenue for the fourth quarter 2021 was $37.5 million, an increase of $5.4 million or 17% from the fourth quarter of 2020. The annualized revenue run rate is now $150 million, which is 43% above our 2020 revenue and 133% above our 2019 revenue.

Fourth quarter 2021 GAAP net income was $3.5 million, 23 times GAAP net income of $155,000 in the same period last year. "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 over $3 million in a single quarter is a great milestone showing our progress," remarked Bill Korn. "This quarter's GAAP net income would have been $1.0 million without the $2.5 million gain from the change in fair value of the contingent consideration from medSR, and since this is a one-time gain, investors should look at third quarter's GAAP net income of $1.5 million and the $1.0 million without the gain as indicators of potential future performance."

GAAP net loss per share for fourth quarter 2021 was $0.01, based on the net income attributable to common shareholders.

Non-GAAP adjusted net income for fourth quarter 2021 was $5.0 million, or $0.34 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.

Adjusted EBITDA for fourth quarter 2021 was $6.1 million, or 16% of revenue, compared to $5.7 million in the same period last year. CareCloud's adjusted EBITDA increased by approximately $400,000 from Q4 2020.

Cash Balances and Capital Structure

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $10.3 million of cash, including $1 million of restricted cash which relates to the medSR acquisition. During the fourth quarter 2021, cash flow from operations was approximately $6.1 million. Our net working capital on December 31, 2021 was approximately $6.0 million.

On December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately 5,299,000 shares of non-convertible Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. These shares pay cash dividends at the rate of 11% per annum of the $25.00 per share liquidation preference (equivalent to $2.75 per annum per share), but they are fully redeemable at the Company's option at $25.00 per share. During January 2022, the Company sold approximately 1.1 million shares of non-convertible Series B Preferred Stock, which is similar to Series A Preferred Stock, but with an 8.75% annual cash dividend. The Company will use $20 million of the proceeds from the Series B offering to redeem 800,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock on March 18, 2022. This will begin to reduce the Company's cost of capital and set the stage for further opportunities to redeem Series A Preferred Stock in a way that is accretive to common shareholders.

Bill Korn commented "Our Series A Preferred Stock has been a great way to finance our rapid growth without restrictive covenants. Now that we have started redeeming it, fixed income investors will want to focus on our Series B Preferred Stock, while investors looking for growth can consider the impact on our cash flow and income statement as we lower our cost of capital."

2022 Guidance

CareCloud is providing the following forward-looking guidance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022:

For the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2022 Forward-Looking Guidance
Revenue	$152 – $155 million
Adjusted EBITDA	$24 – $26 million

The Company anticipates full year 2022 revenue of approximately $152 to $155 million, which implies a compound annual growth rate from 2017 through 2022 of approximately 37%. Revenue guidance is based on management's expectations regarding revenues from existing clients, recent acquisitions and new clients acquired through organic growth and/or tuck-ins, but excludes the effects of any additional, material acquisitions.

Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be $24 to $26 million for full year 2022, which implies a compound annual growth rate from 2017 through 2022 of approximately 62%.

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.

Changes in contingent consideration. Contingent consideration represents the amount payable to the sellers of certain acquired businesses based on the achievement of defined performance measures contained in the purchase agreements. Contingent consideration is adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period, and changes arise from changes in the forecasted revenues of the acquired businesses.

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.
