Streamline Health first quarter revenues increase to $5,445,000

Streamline Health Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: STRM) today announced financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, ended April 30, 2012.

Highlights for the quarter included:

• Achieved net profit of $492,000;
• Adjusted EBITDA for first quarter 2012 was $1.7 million an increase of 172%  over first quarter 2011;
• Recurring maintenance revenues improved by 13% over the prior comparable quarter;
• Software as a service (SaaS) revenues for the quarter increased 22% over the prior comparable quarter, excluding $490,000 of incremental SaaS revenue from the acquired operations of Interpoint Partners;
• New sales bookings for the quarter were $4.4 million;
• Maintenance and SaaS contract renewals for the quarter were $3.1 million;
• Backlog at the end of the quarter was $31.4 million, which was a 78% increase from the first quarter of 2011;

Revenues for the three month period ended April 30, 2012, were $5,445,000; as compared to $4,140,000 in the comparable period of fiscal 2011.  The quarterly and year to date increase was primarily attributable to revenues provided by increases in recurring maintenance and SaaS revenues.

The former Interpoint Partners, LLC business, acquired in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, contributed an incremental $490,000 in SaaS revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Recurring revenues from SaaS (net of Interpoint incremental revenues) and maintenance increased $203,000 and $275,000, respectively. These increases are due to annual increases, expansion of services to current clients, and additional revenue from a client that has transitioned to a direct relationship with Streamline Health.

Operating expenses for the three-month period ending April 30, 2012 were $4,773,000, compared to $4,394,000 in the comparable prior year period; an increase of $379,000 or 9% over the prior year comparable period.

As a result, Streamline Health recorded an operating profit of $672,000 or $0.07 per fully diluted share, for the three month period ended April 30, 2012 compared with an operating loss of $254,000, or ($0.03) per fully diluted share, for the prior year comparable quarter. Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) for the quarter ended April 30, 2012 was $1.7 million, or $0.17 per fully diluted common share, compared to $630,000, or $0.06 per fully diluted common share in the comparable prior year quarter. A reconciliation table is provided below.

New sales bookings for the fourth quarter were $4.4 million, primarily consisting of professional services, and software as a service contracts.  Maintenance and SaaS renewals or extensions were $3.1 million.

Backlog at April 30, 2012 was $31.4 million, compared with $27.4 million at January 31, 2012 and $17.7 million at April 30, 2011. The increase in the current backlog reflects significant new SaaS contract signings as well as current clients purchasing additional solutions.  Additions to backlog included a five year agreement with Boston Medical Center to extend the use of our business analytics and patient financial services solutions, a renewal for a new five year agreement with Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center, which was also transitioned to a direct agreement with Streamline Health; and a new SaaS agreement with Einstein Healthcare Network to employ our OpportunityAnyWare, ARWare, and 835 DenialWare solutions.

Robert E. Watson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Streamline Health said, "The results for the quarter, by every financial metric, clearly highlight that we are making meaningful progress in our transition to a results oriented healthcare information technology company.  Needless to say, we are pleased with our progress.  This quarter was a significant step forward in the transition process that began some fifteen months ago."

Mr. Watson continued, "Continuing the trend noted in previous quarters, we are also pleased with the transition, completed during the quarter, of Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center to a 'direct client' and the extension of their agreement with us for an additional five years.   Also during the quarter, Einstein Healthcare Network, a ten-year client of our AccessAnyWare solution, purchased our OpportunityAnyWare solution for their clinic operations.  This was the first purchase of the former Interpoint Partners' solution by a Streamline Health client.  Additionally, the purchase by Boston Medical Center of the OpportunityAnyWare solution for their clinics is an example of our team's ability to upsell additional solutions in our installed base of clients. In conjunction with our continuing focus on managing operating expenses, we continue to make meaningful progress in our goal for Streamline Health to become a world-class healthcare information technology company."
