1. OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Company Overview

 

HealthStream provides primarily Software-as-a-Service ("SaaS") based applications for healthcare organizations—all designed to improve business and clinical outcomes by supporting the people who deliver patient care. The Company is focused on helping individuals and organizations in healthcare meet their ongoing learning, clinical development, credentialing, and scheduling needs. The Company also provides its solutions to nursing schools and nursing students.

 

The Company is organized and operated according to its One HealthStream approach, with its hStream technology platform at the center of that approach. Increasingly, SaaS-based applications in the Company's diverse ecosystem of solutions utilize the Company's proprietary hStream technology platform to enhance the value proposition for customers by creating interoperability with and among other applications. As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”), “HealthStream,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” mean HealthStream, Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10‑Q and Article 10 of Regulation S‑X. Accordingly, condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.

 

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2023 was derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for a complete set of financial statements. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023 (included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2024).

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In  November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The new guidance requires disclosures of significant reportable segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and other segment items on an interim and annual basis. Entities with a single reportable segment will also be required to apply the disclosure requirements in ASU 2023-07 on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2023-07 will be effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after  December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after  December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07.

 

In  December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities to provide disclosure of disaggregated information in the entity’s tax rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after  December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09.

3. REVENUE RECOGNITION AND SALES COMMISSIONS

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring those goods or services. Revenue is recognized based on the following five step model:

 

•

Identification of the contract with a customer

•

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract

•

Determination of the transaction price

•

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

•

Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation

 

The following table represents revenues disaggregated by revenue source (in thousands). Sales taxes are excluded from revenues.

 

		Three Months Ended June 30,								Six Months Ended June 30,
		2024				2023				2024				2023
Subscription services		$	69,013			$	66,506			$	139,218			$	132,521
Professional services			2,543				2,692				5,098				5,623
Total revenues, net		$	71,556			$	69,198			$	144,316			$	138,144

 

 

For the  three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized  $1.6 million and  $0.2 million in impairment losses on receivables and contract assets arising from the Company's contracts with customers, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $1.8 million and $0.4 million in impairment losses on receivables and contract assets arising from the Company's contracts with customers, respectively.

 

During the three months ended  June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized revenues of $47.2 million and $43.6 million, respectively, from amounts included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the respective periods. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized revenues of $65.2 million and $62.1 million, respectively, from amounts included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the respective periods. As of June 30, 2024, approximately $538 million of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations under contracts with customers. The Company expects to recognize revenue related to approximately 43% of these remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, with the remaining amounts recognized thereafter.

 

Sales Commissions

 

Sales commissions earned by the Company's sales employees are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. The Company recorded amortization of deferred commissions of $3.0 million and $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $6.0 million and $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which is included in sales and marketing expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

4. INCOME TAXES

 

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities measured at tax rates that will be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.

 

The Company computes its interim period provision for income taxes by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date pretax income or loss and adjusts the provision for discrete tax items recorded in the period. During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $1.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $2.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

 

The Company’s effective tax rate was 21% and 12% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate primarily reflects the statutory corporate income tax rate, the net effect of state taxes, foreign income taxes, the effect of various permanent tax differences, and recognition of discrete tax items. The Company recognizes excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies associated with stock-based awards as a component of its provision for income taxes. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded discrete tax expense of $14,000, which consisted primarily of discrete tax expense of $0.2 million related to reserves for uncertain tax positions, partially offset by a $0.1 million discrete tax benefit associated with stock-based awards. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded discrete tax benefits of $0.5 million, which consisted primarily of tax benefits associated with changes in state apportionment rules in Tennessee upon the enactment of the Tennessee Works Tax Act in the amount of $0.6 million, and stock-based awards, in the amount of $0.1 million. This tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was partially offset by $0.2 million of discrete tax expense related to reserves for uncertain tax positions.

5. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

Dividends on Common Stock

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors (“Board”) declared the following quarterly dividends under the Company's dividend policy:

 

Dividend Payment Date	Dividend Declaration Date		Dividend Per Share			Record Date		Cash Outlay
March 22, 2024	February 19, 2024		$	0.028		March 11, 2024		$	849,000
May 17, 2024	April 22, 2024			0.028		May 6, 2024			851,000
Total dividends			$	0.056				$	1,700,000

 

Additionally, on July 22, 2024, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.028 per share, payable on August 16, 2024 to holders of record on August 5, 2024. 

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company has stock awards outstanding under its 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan and 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans using the fair-value based method for costs related to share-based payments, including restricted share units (“RSUs”) and stock options. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company issued 69,784 RSUs subject to service-based time vesting, with a weighted average grant date fair value of $26.92 per share, measured based on the closing fair market value of the Company's stock on the date of the grant. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company issued 72,923 RSUs subject to service-based time vesting, with a weighted average grant date fair value of $25.36 per share, measured based on the closing fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

During the six months ended  June 30, 2023, the Company granted 138,000 performance-based RSUs, the vesting of which occurs over a five-year period in increments of 15%, 20%, 20%, 20%, and 25% and is contingent upon continued service and achieving certain performance criteria established by the compensation committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) on an annual basis based on performance in 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027, respectively. The performance criteria for the second-year tranche, or 27,600 of these performance-based RSUs, is based on 2024 adjusted EBITDA. The measurement date for these 27,600 performance-based RSUs was established during the six months ended  June 30, 2024 with a weighted average grant date fair value of $26.79 per share, measured based on the closing fair market value of the Company's stock on the date the performance criteria was established. The performance criteria for the remaining 89,700 performance-based RSUs has not yet been determined and will be established on an annual basis in 2025, 2026, and 2027, as applicable; therefore, the measurement date for these remaining 89,700 performance-based RSUs cannot be determined until the performance criteria have been established. 

 

During the six months ended  June 30, 2022, the Company approved the grant of 91,042 performance-based RSUs, the vesting of which occurs over a five-year period in increments of 15%, 20%, 20%, 20%, and 25% and is contingent upon continued service and achieving certain performance criteria established by the Compensation Committee on an annual basis based on performance in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, respectively. The performance criteria and measurement date for the third-year tranche, or 18,211 of these performance-based RSUs, is based on 2024 adjusted EBITDA and was established during the six months ended  June 30, 2024 with a grant date fair value of $26.79 per share, measured based on the closing fair market value of the Company's stock on the date the performance criteria was established. The performance criteria for the remaining 40,967 performance-based RSUs has not yet been determined and will be established on an annual basis in 2025 and 2026, as applicable; therefore, the measurement date for these remaining 40,967 performance-based RSUs cannot be determined until the performance criteria have been established.

 

Total stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income is as follows (in thousands):

 

		Three Months Ended June 30,								Six Months Ended June 30,
		2024				2023				2024				2023
Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation and amortization)		$	50			$	50			$	103			$	99
Product development			202				187				399				354

6. EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of potentially dilutive common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares are composed of incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and RSUs subject to vesting. The dilutive effect of common equivalent shares is included in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. The total number of common equivalent shares excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share, due to their anti-dilutive effect or contingent performance conditions, was approximately 155,000 and 225,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 166,000 and 246,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share data):

 

		Three Months Ended June 30,								Six Months Ended June 30,
		2024				2023				2024				2023
Numerator:
Net income		$	4,168			$	4,133			$	9,394			$	6,756
Denominator:
Weighted-average shares outstanding			30,401				30,684				30,357				30,638
Effect of dilutive shares			125				91				115				79
Weighted-average diluted shares			30,526				30,775				30,472				30,717
Net income per share:
Basic		$	0.14			$	0.13			$	0.31			$	0.22
Diluted		$	0.14			$	0.13			$	0.31			$	0.22

 

7. MARKETABLE SECURITIES

 

The fair value of marketable securities, which were all classified as available for sale and which the Company does not intend to sell nor will the Company be required to sell prior to recovery of their amortized cost basis, included the following (in thousands):

 

		June 30, 2024
		Adjusted Cost				Unrealized Gains				Unrealized Losses				Fair Value
Level 2:
U.S. treasury securities		$	36,867			$	4			$	(2	)		$	36,869
Total		$	36,867			$	4			$	(2	)		$	36,869

 

		December 31, 2023
		Adjusted Cost				Unrealized Gains				Unrealized Losses				Fair Value
Level 2:
U.S. treasury securities		$	30,791			$	10			$	(1	)		$	30,800
Total		$	30,791			$	10			$	(1	)		$	30,800

 

The carrying amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate fair value based on quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs. As of June 30, 2024, the Company did not recognize any allowance for credit impairments on its available for sale securities. All investments in marketable securities are classified as current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets because the underlying securities mature within one year from the balance sheet date.

8. DEBT

 

Revolving Credit Facility

 

On  October 6, 2023, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (“Revolving Credit Facility”), amending the Revolving Credit Facility dated as of  November 24, 2014, as amended, with certain lenders party thereto from time to time, and Truist, as Administrative Agent for the lenders. Under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company  may borrow up to $50.0 million, which includes a $5.0 million swingline sub-facility and a $5.0 million letter of credit sub-facility, as well as an accordion feature that allows the Company to increase the Revolving Credit Facility by a total of up to $25.0 million, subject to securing additional commitments from existing lenders or new lending institutions. The Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity date of  October 6, 2026.

 

The Company's obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are unsecured. In addition, if the Company forms or acquires any domestic subsidiaries, the loans and other obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility will be guaranteed by such domestic subsidiaries.

 

At the Company’s election, the borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, other than the swingline loans, bear interest at either (1) a base rate defined as the highest of (a) the rate which the Administrative Agent announces from time to time as its prime lending rate, as in effect from time to time, or (b) the Federal Funds Rate, as in effect from time to time, plus one-half of one percent (0.50%) per annum (any changes in such rates to be effective as of the date of any change in such rate), plus in each case an applicable margin that varies with the company’s funded debt leverage ratio; or (2) a term secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) defined as the greater of (a)(i) the forward-looking term rate based on SOFR determined as of the reference time for such interest period with a term equivalent to such interest period plus (ii) a term SOFR adjustment equal to 0.10% per annum and (b) zero, plus, in each case, an applicable margin that varies with the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio. The Company’s borrowings under the swingline loans bear interest at the base rate plus the applicable margin. The initial applicable margin for base rate loans is 0.50% and the initial applicable margin SOFR loans is 1.50%. The applicable margins will be adjusted quarterly, in each case two (2) business days after the Administrative Agent's receipt of the Company's quarterly financial statements. The Company is also required to pay a commitment fee accruing on the unused revolving commitment, which fee initially is 20 basis points per annum and a letter of credit fee, accruing at a rate per annum equal to the applicable margin for SOFR loans then in effect on the daily average amount of such lender’s letter of credit exposure.

 

Principal is payable in full at maturity on  October 6, 2026, and there are no scheduled principal payments prior to maturity. Interest on base rate loans and swingline loans is payable quarterly in arrears, and interest on SOFR loans is payable at the end of each interest period, and in the case of interest periods longer than three months, on each day which occurs every three months after the initial date of such interest period.

 

The purpose of the Revolving Credit Facility is for general working capital needs, permitted acquisitions (as defined in the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement), and for stock repurchase and/or redemption transactions that the Company  may authorize.

 

In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility required the Company to meet certain financial tests, including, without limitation:

 

•	a funded debt leverage ratio (consolidated debt/consolidated EBITDA) of not greater than 3.0 to 1.0; and

 

•	an interest coverage ratio (consolidated EBITDA/consolidated interest expense) of not less than 3.0 to 1.0.

 

In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, restrict additional indebtedness, liens and encumbrances, changes to the character of the Company’s business, acquisitions, asset dispositions, mergers and consolidations, sale or discount of receivables, creation or acquisitions of additional subsidiaries, and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements.

 

As of June 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants. There were no balances outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility as of or during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Business Overview

 

HealthStream provides primarily SaaS based applications for healthcare organizations—all designed to improve business and clinical outcomes by supporting the people who deliver patient care. We are focused on helping individuals and organizations in healthcare meet their ongoing learning, clinical development, credentialing, and scheduling needs. We also provide our solutions to nursing schools and nursing students.

 

Our business is managed and organized around a single platform strategy, also referred to as our One HealthStream approach. At the center of this single platform strategy is our hStream technology platform. By enabling our applications through hStream, we believe that stand-alone applications, which already provide a powerful value proposition on their own, are beginning to leverage each other to more efficiently and effectively empower our customers to manage their business and improve their outcomes. Further, the Company’s internal structure and executive leadership are likewise shaped by the organizing principle of a single platform, including with regard to technology, operations, accounting, internal reporting (including the nature of information reviewed by our key decision makers), organizational structure, compensation, performance assessment, and resource allocation.

 

Significant financial metrics for the second quarter of 2024 are set forth in the bullets below.

 

•	Revenues of $71.6 million in the second quarter of 2024, up 3.4% from $69.2 million in the second quarter of 2023

 

•	Operating income of $4.4 million in the second quarter of 2024, up 10.1% from $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2023

 

•	Net income of $4.2 million in the second quarter of 2024, up 0.8% from $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2023

 

•	Earnings per share (“EPS”) of $0.14 per share (diluted) in the second quarter of 2024, up from $0.13 per share (diluted) in the second quarter of 2023

 

•	Adjusted EBITDA1 of $15.8 million in the second quarter of 2024, up 3.3% from $15.3 million in the second quarter of 2023

1	Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income and disclosure regarding why we believe adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors is included later in this Form 10-Q.

 

 

Recent Developments

 

Macroeconomic conditions in the U.S. continue to be challenging in various respects, including as the result of inflationary conditions, elevated interest rate levels, and uncertain geopolitical conditions. In this regard, we have experienced in certain recent periods, and believe that many of our customers have experienced, increased labor, supply chain, capital, and other expenditures associated with inflationary conditions. These conditions impacting the U.S. economy and our customers in the healthcare industry have adversely affected, and may continue to adversely impact, our business and results of operations.

 

While the COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause some level of uncertainty, the impact of the pandemic itself on public health and economic conditions has significantly lessened and normalized to the point of reaching an endemic stage. As our business is focused on providing solutions to healthcare organizations, we continue to closely monitor any developments related to COVID-19 and remain prepared to modify our operating approaches to address COVID 19-related developments or other public health related events as they may arise.

 

Key Financial Metrics

 

Our management utilizes the following financial metrics in connection with managing our business.

 

•

Revenues, net. Revenues, net, reflect income generated by the sales of goods and services related to our operations and, for businesses acquired prior to the adoption of ASU 2021-08 on January 1, 2022, reflects deferred revenue write-downs associated with fair value accounting for such acquired businesses. Revenues, net, were $71.6 million and $144.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to $69.2 million and $138.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Management utilizes revenue in connection with managing our business and believes that this metric provides useful information to investors as a key indicator of the growth and success of our products.

 

•

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA, calculated as set forth below under “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” is utilized by our management in connection with managing our business and provides useful information to investors because adjusted EBITDA reflects net income adjusted for certain GAAP accounting, non-cash, and/or non-operating items, as more specifically set forth below, which may not fully reflect the underlying operating performance of our business. We also believe that adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors to assess the Company’s ongoing operations. Additionally, certain short-term cash incentive bonuses and performance-based equity award grants are based on the achievement of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in applicable bonus and equity grant documentation) targets. Adjusted EBITDA was $15.8 million and $32.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to $15.3 million and $29.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

 

•

Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures represent cash payments incurred for purchases of property and equipment and during the development phase for projects to develop software and content. Capital expenditures were $6.7 million and $14.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to $6.2 million and $14.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Management utilizes this metric in connection with managing the allocation of capitalized expenditures in which the Company invests related to the development of its products and believes that this metric is a key indicator of investment in products relative to their current and expected performance.

 

•

Net Income. Net income represents revenues, net less all expenses. Net income was $4.2 million and $9.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to $4.1 million and $6.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. Management utilizes net income in connection with managing our business, including with regard to our capital deployment strategies.

 

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with US GAAP. These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions during the preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We believe the estimates, judgments, and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented and related disclosures. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates, judgments, or assumptions and actual results, our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements will be affected.

 

The accounting policies and estimates that we believe are the most critical in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:

 

•

Revenue recognition

 

•

Accounting for income taxes

 

•

Goodwill

 

In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by US GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas where management’s judgment in selecting among available alternatives would not produce a materially different result. See Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2023 Form 10-K and the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein which contain additional information regarding our accounting policies and other disclosures required by US GAAP. There have been no changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates from those reported in our 2023 Form 10-K.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2023

 

Revenues, net. Revenues increased $2.4 million, or 3%, to $71.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from $69.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Subscription revenues increased $2.5 million, or 4%, but were partially offset by $0.1 million of declines from professional services revenues.

 

A comparison of revenues by revenue source is as follows (in thousands):

 

		Three Months Ended June 30,
		2024				2023				Percentage Change
Subscription services		$	69,013			$	66,506				4	%
Professional services			2,543				2,692				-6	%
Total revenues, net		$	71,556			$	69,198				3	%
% of Revenues
Subscription services			96	%			96	%
Professional services			4	%			4	%

 

Cost of Revenues (excluding Depreciation and Amortization). Cost of revenues increased $0.1 million, or 1%, to $23.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, from $23.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues were 33% and 34% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in expense is primarily associated with higher costs for software and cloud hosting, which were partially offset by a reduction in royalties and labor costs.

 

 

Product Development. Product development expenses increased $1.1 million, or 9%, to $12.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, from $11.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Product development expenses as a percentage of revenues were 17% and 16% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase is primarily due to an increase in labor costs, partially offset by an increase in labor capitalized for internally developed software.

 

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses, including personnel costs, increased $0.1 million, or 1%, to $11.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, from $11.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Sales and marketing expenses were 16% of revenues for both the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The increase in expense is primarily due to increases in general marketing expenses, travel expenses, and commissions, which were partially offset by a decrease in labor costs.

 

Other General and Administrative Expenses. Other general and administrative expenses increased $0.5 million, or 5%, to $9.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, from $9.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Other general and administrative expenses were 13% of revenues for both the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in expense is primarily due to a $1.5 million increase in bad debt expense during the three months ended June 30, 2024 associated primarily with a customer bankruptcy, partially offset by lower labor costs and rent expense.

 

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.2 million, or 1%, to $10.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, from $10.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. This increase is primarily a result of an increase in amortization associated with capitalized software.

 

Other Income, Net. Other income, net was $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase is primarily the result of an increase in interest income earned on cash and investments during the three months ended June 30, 2024. 

 

Income Tax Provision. The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The Company’s effective tax rate was 21% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 8% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The Company’s effective tax rate primarily reflects the statutory corporate income tax rate, the net effect of state taxes, foreign income taxes, the effect of various permanent tax differences, and recognition of discrete tax items. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded discrete tax expense of $31,000, which consisted primarily of discrete tax expense related to reserves for uncertain tax positions. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded discrete tax benefits of $0.5 million, which consisted primarily of tax benefits in the amount of $0.6 million resulting from changes in apportionment rules in Tennessee upon the enactment of the Tennessee Works Tax Act, partially offset by $0.1 million of discrete tax expense related to reserves for uncertain tax positions. 

 

Net Income. Net income was $4.2 million and $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. EPS was $0.14 per share (diluted) and $0.13 per share (diluted) for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Adjusted EBITDA was $15.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $15.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for our reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable measure under US GAAP and disclosure regarding why we believe adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors.

 

 

Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2023

 

Revenues, net. Revenues increased $6.2 million, or 4%, to $144.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from $138.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Subscription revenues increased $6.7 million, or 5%, but were partially offset by $0.5 million of declines from professional services revenues.

 

A comparison of revenues by revenue source is as follows (in thousands):

 

		Six Months Ended June 30,
		2024				2023				Percentage Change
Subscription services		$	139,218			$	132,521				5	%

Cost of Revenues (excluding Depreciation and Amortization). Cost of revenues increased $1.0 million, or 2%, to $48.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, from $47.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues were 34% for both the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The increase in expense is primarily associated with higher software expenses and cloud hosting costs, partially offset by lower labor costs. Labor costs recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2023 included severance costs incurred in connection with the Company's previously disclosed restructuring under a single platform strategy. 

 

 

Product Development. Product development expenses increased $1.4 million, or 6%, to $24.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, from $22.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Product development expenses as a percentage of revenues were 17% and 16% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase is primarily due to an increase in labor costs, partially offset by an increase in labor capitalized for internally developed software.

 

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses, including personnel costs, increased $0.2 million, or 1%, to $23.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, from $23.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Sales and marketing expenses were 16% and 17% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in expense is primarily due to increases in general marketing expenses, commissions, and travel expenses, which were partially offset by a decrease in labor costs.

 

Other General and Administrative Expenses. Other general and administrative expenses decreased $60,000 to $17.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, from $17.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Other general and administrative expenses were 12% and 13% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to lower labor costs, professional service fees, and rent expense, which were partially offset by an increase in bad debt expense of $1.4 million, which was primarily associated with a customer bankruptcy.

 

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.6 million, or 3%, to $20.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, from $20.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This increase is primarily a result of an increase in amortization associated with capitalized software.

 

Other Income, Net. Other income, net was $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase is primarily the result of an increase in interest income earned on cash and investments during the six months ended June 30, 2024. 

 

Income Tax Provision. The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The Company’s effective tax rate was 21% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 12% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The Company’s effective tax rate primarily reflects the statutory corporate income tax rate, the net effect of state taxes, foreign income taxes, the effect of various permanent tax differences, and recognition of discrete tax items. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded discrete tax expense of $14,000, which consisted primarily of discrete tax expense of $0.2 million related to reserves for uncertain tax positions, partially offset by a $0.1 million discrete tax benefit associated with stock-based awards. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded discrete tax benefits of $0.5 million, which consisted primarily of tax benefits associated with changes in state apportionment rules in Tennessee upon the enactment of the Tennessee Works Tax Act in the amount of $0.6 million and stock-based awards in the amount of $0.1 million. This tax benefit was partially offset by $0.2 million of discrete tax expense related to reserves for uncertain tax positions.

 

Net Income. Net income was $9.4 million and $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. EPS was $0.31 per share (diluted) and $0.22 per share (diluted) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Adjusted EBITDA was $32.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $29.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for our reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable measure under US GAAP and disclosure regarding why we believe adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors.

 

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

This Form 10-Q presents adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management in analyzing our financial results and ongoing operational performance.

 

In order to better assess the Company’s financial results, management believes that net income before interest, income taxes, stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and changes in fair value of, including gains (losses) on the sale of, non-marketable equity investments (“adjusted EBITDA”) is a useful measure for evaluating the operating performance of the Company because adjusted EBITDA reflects net income adjusted for certain GAAP accounting, non-cash, and/or non-operating items which may not, in any such case, fully reflect the underlying operating performance of our business. In addition, as discussed below, for periods ended on or prior to December 31, 2023, adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of deferred revenue write-downs associated with fair value accounting for acquired businesses. We believe that adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors to assess the Company’s ongoing operating performance and to compare the Company’s operating performance between periods. Additionally, certain short-term cash incentive bonuses and performance-based equity awards are based on the achievement of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in applicable bonus and equity grant documentation) targets.

 

As previously disclosed, prior to the Company early adopting ASU 2021-08 effective January 1, 2022, following the completion of any acquisition by the Company, the Company was required to record the acquired deferred revenue at fair value as defined in GAAP, which typically resulted in a write-down of the acquired deferred revenue. In connection therewith, management determined that including an adjustment in the definition of adjusted EBITDA for the impact of the deferred revenue write-downs associated with fair value accounting for businesses acquired prior to the January 1, 2022 effective date of the Company's adoption of ASU 2021-08 (the “Pre-2022 Acquisitions”) provided useful information to investors because the deferred revenue write-down recognized in periods after any such Pre-2022 Acquisition could, given the nature of this non-cash accounting impact, cause our GAAP financial results during such periods to not fully reflect our underlying operating performance. Following the adoption of ASU 2021-08, contracts acquired in an acquisition completed on or after January 1, 2022 have been measured as if the Company had originated the contract (rather than the contract being measured at fair value) such that, for such acquisitions, the Company no longer records deferred revenue write-downs associated with acquired businesses. With respect to periods ended on or prior to December 31, 2023, the Company has included an adjustment in the calculation of adjusted EBITDA for the impact of deferred revenue write-downs associated with the Pre-2022 Acquisitions consistent with this prior accounting standard, given the ongoing impact of such deferred revenue on the Company's financial results under GAAP over this time period. With respect to periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, the Company no longer recognizes any deferred revenue write-downs associated with the Pre-2022 Acquisitions under GAAP, and accordingly such deferred revenue write-downs are not an adjustment in connection with the calculation of adjusted EBITDA for periods on and after January 1, 2024.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Because adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP, adjusted EBITDA is susceptible to varying calculations. Accordingly, adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and has limitations as an analytical tool. 

 

A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income, is set forth below (in thousands).

 

		Three Months Ended June 30,								Six Months Ended June 30,
		2024				2023				2024				2023

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $1.9 million to $27.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, from $25.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities is primarily due to higher cash collections compared to the prior year period, but was partially offset by a $3.0 million increase in income tax payments. Our days sales outstanding (“DSO”) was 45 days for the second quarter of 2024 compared to 50 days for the second quarter of 2023. The Company calculates DSO by dividing the average accounts receivable balance for the quarter by average daily revenues for the quarter. The Company’s primary sources of cash were receipts generated from the sales of our products and services. The primary uses of cash to fund operations included personnel expenses, sales commissions, royalty payments, payments for contract labor and other direct expenses associated with delivery of our products and services, income tax payments, and general corporate expenses.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $19.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $43.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company invested in marketable securities of $34.5 million, made payments for capitalized software development of $13.6 million, and purchased property and equipment of $0.9 million. These uses of cash were partially offset by $29.2 million in maturities of marketable securities and $0.8 million received upon the settlement and release of escrowed proceeds related to a prior sale of a non-marketable equity investment. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company spent $6.6 million for the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Electronic Education Documentation System, LLC (“eeds”) (note: the eeds acquisition was consummated on December 31, 2022, but was funded in January 2023 such that the purchase price for eeds impacted net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023), invested in marketable securities of $32.0 million, made payments for capitalized software development of $13.3 million, and purchased property and equipment of $1.4 million. These uses of cash were partially offset by $10.0 million in maturities of marketable securities.

 

Net cash used in financing activities was $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The uses of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2024 included $1.7 million for the payment of cash dividends and $0.9 million for the payment of employee payroll taxes in relation to the vesting of RSUs. The uses of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2023 included $1.5 million for the payment of cash dividends and $0.8 million for the payment of employee payroll taxes in relation to the vesting of RSUs.

 

Our balance sheet reflects working capital of $27.2 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $11.8 million at December 31, 2023. The increase in working capital is primarily a result of an increase in cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s primary source of liquidity as of June 30, 2024 was $46.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and $36.9 million of marketable securities.

 

The Company also has a $50.0 million revolving credit facility. There currently are no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility expires on October 6, 2026, unless earlier renewed or amended. For additional information regarding our revolving credit facility, see Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein.

 

On September 13, 2023, the Company announced a share repurchase program approved by the Company's Board under which the Company was authorized to purchase up to $10.0 million of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock. The share repurchase program expired according to its terms on March 31, 2024, and no repurchases occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2024. During the term of this program, the Company repurchased a total of 404,188 shares under this program at an aggregate fair value of $8.9 million, based on an average price per share of $22.07 (excluding the cost of broker commissions). We may elect in the future to adopt a new share repurchase program.

 

 

In addition, the Company’s growth strategy includes acquiring businesses or making strategic investments in businesses that complement or enhance our business. It is anticipated that future acquisitions or strategic investments, if any, would be effected through cash consideration, stock consideration, or a combination of both. The issuance of our stock as consideration for an acquisition or to raise additional capital could have a dilutive effect on earnings per share and could adversely affect our stock price. Our revolving credit facility contains financial covenants and availability calculations designed to set a maximum leverage ratio of outstanding debt to adjusted EBITDA and an interest coverage ratio of adjusted EBITDA to interest expense. Therefore, the maximum borrowings against our new revolving credit facility would be dependent on the covenant calculations at the time of borrowing. As of June 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all covenants under our revolving credit facility. There can be no assurance that amounts available for borrowing under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to consummate any possible acquisitions, and we cannot provide assurance that if we need additional financing that it will be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. Failure to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or raise additional capital when required in sufficient amounts and on terms acceptable to us could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates, foreign currency risk, and investment risk. We do not have any commodity price risk.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

As of June 30, 2024, and during the three months then ended, the Company had no outstanding debt. We may become subject to interest rate market risk associated with any future borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The interest rate under the revolving credit facility varies depending on the interest rate option selected by the Company plus a margin determined in accordance with a pricing grid. We are also exposed to market risk with respect to our cash and investment balances, which were $83.0 million at June 30, 2024. Assuming a hypothetical 10% decrease in interest rates for invested balances, interest income from cash and investments would decrease on an annualized basis by $0.4 million.

 

Foreign Currency Risk

 

We have foreign currency risks related to our revenue and operating expenses denominated in currencies other than the US dollar, including Canadian dollar, New Zealand dollar, and Australian dollar. Increases or decreases in our foreign-denominated revenue from movements in foreign exchange rates are often partially offset by the corresponding increases or decreases in our foreign-denominated operating expenses.

 

To the extent that our international operations grow, our risks associated with fluctuation in currency rates will become greater, and we will continue to assess our approach to managing this risk. In addition, currency fluctuations or a weakening US dollar can increase the costs of our international operations. To date, we have not entered into any foreign currency hedging contracts although we may do so in the future.

 

Investment Risk

 

The Company’s investment policy and strategy is focused on investing in highly rated securities with the objective of minimizing the potential risk of principal loss. The Company’s policy limits the amount of credit exposure to any single issuer and sets limits on the average portfolio maturity.

 

We have an investment portfolio that includes strategic investments in privately held companies, which primarily include early-stage companies. We primarily invest in healthcare technology companies that we believe can help expand our ecosystem. We may continue to make these types of strategic investments as opportunities arise that we find attractive. We may experience additional volatility to our Consolidated Financial Statements due to changes in market prices, observable price changes, and impairments to our strategic investments. These changes could be material based on market conditions and events. 

 

The above market risk discussion and the estimated amounts presented are forward-looking statements of market risk assuming the occurrence of certain adverse market conditions. Actual results in the future may differ materially from those projected as a result of actual developments in the market.

 

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Controls and Procedures

HealthStream, Inc.

2024 Cash Incentive Bonus Plan

 

Overview:

 

Pursuant to the HealthStream, Inc. 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of HealthStream, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby establishes this 2024 Cash Incentive Bonus Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan is the cash-based, short-term incentive portion of HealthStream's incentive compensation structure for certain executive officers, as well as the vice presidents, associate vice presidents, senior directors, and directors of the Company (such individuals referred to collectively as “Management”). The purpose of the Plan is to specify appropriate opportunities to earn a cash bonus with respect to the Company’s 2024 fiscal year in order to reward Management for facilitating the Company’s achievement of certain levels of financial performance during fiscal year 2024 and to further align their interests with those of the shareholders of the Company.

 

Definitions:

 

•

Annual Bonus – The annual bonus paid to Management after the Committee determines the applicable financial measure has been achieved.

 

•

Adjusted EBITDA – The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA for the 2024 fiscal year calculated as set forth in the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K and as updated under subsequent quarterly filings under Form 10-Q or the Company’s quarterly earnings releases filed under Forms 8-K; provided the following are excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA: (i) acquisition and divestiture expenses incurred within the calendar year to the extent such expenses are in excess of the amount originally allocated to such purpose in the Company’s 2024 budget; and (ii) Adjusted EBITDA (profit/loss) from acquisitions and divestitures consummated during 2024 (collectively, the “Excluded Expenses”).

 

•

Revenue – The Company’s GAAP revenue for the 2024 fiscal year as reported in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K; minus the GAAP revenue recognized by the Company from acquisitions and divestitures consummated during 2024 (the “Revenue Adjustment Amount”).

 

•

Revenue Growth Percentage – The Company’s Revenue Growth Percentage for the 2024 fiscal year is the percentage increase in 2024 Revenue compared to the Company’s GAAP revenue for the 2023 fiscal year as reported in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K.

 

 

•

Incremental Threshold Adjusted EBITDA  – the amount of Adjusted EBITDA before bonuses less Threshold Adjusted EBITDA; as such Threshold Adjusted EBITDA amount is established by the Committee. Incremental Threshold Adjusted EBITDA funds the Threshold Bonus Pool as set forth in the “Payout” section below.

 

•

Incremental Target Adjusted EBITDA – the amount of Adjusted EBITDA before bonuses less Target Adjusted EBITDA; as such Target Adjusted EBITDA amount is established by the Committee. Incremental Target EBITDA funds the Target Bonus Pool as set forth below.

 

2024 Financial Measure and Plan Principles:

 

1.

Financial Measure – For purposes of the Threshold and Target Bonus Pools, Adjusted EBITDA before bonuses will be the financial measure for 2024. For the Stretch Bonus Pool (as defined below), the Revenue Growth Percentage will be the financial measure for 2024.

 

2.

Funding Principle – The Annual Bonus will be funded: (i) first from the amount of Incremental Threshold Adjusted EBITDA that exceeds Threshold Adjusted EBITDA, (ii) then from the amount of Incremental Target Adjusted EBITDA that exceeds Target Adjusted EBITDA, and (iii) finally, for Executives and Vice Presidents only, according to the achievement of Revenue Growth Percentage targets established by the Committee. For purposes of this Plan, the Committee has the negative discretion to include the Excluded Expenses in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and/or to include the Revenue Adjustment Amount in the calculation of Revenue.

 

The Plan

 

Eligibility

 

Five groups are eligible for participation in the Plan:

 

•

Executive Team – The maximum Annual Bonus (prior to giving effect to any payment of any Stretch Bonus Amount) that (i) the Chief Executive Officer of HealthStream and Executive Vice Presidents shall be eligible to receive under the Plan shall be an amount equal to 40% of such member’s base salary; and (ii) Senior Vice Presidents shall be eligible to receive under the Plan shall be an amount equal to 35% of such member’s base salary. Unless otherwise excluded below, the Executive Team eligible for participation includes the Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice Presidents, and Senior Vice Presidents of the Company (collectively, the “Executives”).

 

•

Vice Presidents – The maximum Annual Bonus that Vice Presidents shall be eligible to receive under the Plan shall be an amount equal to 20% of such Vice President’s base salary.

 

 

•

Associate Vice Presidents – The maximum Annual Bonus that Associate Vice Presidents shall be eligible to receive under the Plan shall be an amount equal to 18% of such Associate Vice President’s base salary.

 

•

Senior Directors – The maximum Annual Bonus that Senior Directors shall be eligible to receive under the Plan shall be an amount equal to 10% of such Senior Director’s base salary. For purposes of clarity, Directors do not include members of the Board of Directors, but are management-level employees of the Company.

 

•

Directors – The maximum Annual Bonus that Directors shall be eligible to receive under the Plan shall be an amount equal to 8% of such Director’s base salary. For purposes of clarity, Directors do not include members of the Board of Directors, but are management-level employees of the Company.

 

•

Employment Requirements – Participants in the Plan who were employed with the Company through December 31, 2024 shall be eligible to receive bonus payments, if any, under the Plan regardless of whether such employees are employed on the date such payments are actually made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of death or disability, the participant’s pro rata share from January 1, 2024 through the date of participant’s death or disability shall be awarded.

 

•

Exclusions – Members of the Executive Team and of Management with a commission-based incentive compensation plan shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan.

 

Payout

 

Payouts under the Plan shall be determined as follows:

 

1.

The Annual Bonus payable to any participant in this Plan will be determined as follows:

 

●

In the event that Adjusted EBITDA before bonuses is less than or equal to Threshold Adjusted EBITDA, a participant will receive no Annual Bonus.

 

●

To the extent Incremental Threshold Adjusted EBITDA funds the Threshold Bonus Pool, a participant will receive a percentage of his or her maximum Annual Bonus payable as set forth above under “The Plan-Eligibility” (the “Maximum Annual Bonus”) in an amount between 0% and 25% of the Maximum Annual Bonus payable to such participant, based on the amount of bonus pool that is funded for that range (the “Threshold Bonus Pool”). The Threshold Bonus Pool shall be funded by every dollar of Incremental Threshold Adjusted EBITDA until the Threshold Pool is fully funded. The Threshold Bonus Pool is fully funded at the point in which the Threshold Adjusted EBITDA is reached after bonus payments equal to 25% of the Maximum Annual Bonus for all participants is achieved.

 

 

●

In the event that the Threshold Bonus Pool is fully funded, a participant will then be eligible to receive an Annual Bonus in an amount between 26% and 100% of the Maximum Annual Bonus payable to such participant, based on the amount of bonus pool that is funded for that range (the “Target Bonus Pool”). The Target Bonus Pool shall be funded by forty-six cents of every dollar of Incremental Target Adjusted EBITDA until the Target Bonus Pool is fully funded. The Target Bonus Pool is fully funded at the point in which the Target Adjusted EBITDA is reached after bonus payments equal to the remaining 75% of the Maximum Annual Bonus amount (at which point 100% of the Maximum Annual Bonus in the aggregate would be earned); provided Executives and Vice Presidents shall also be eligible to receive a Stretch Bonus Amount as set forth below.

 

●

Solely for Executives and Vice Presidents, in the event that Target Bonus Pool is fully funded, each Executive and Vice President will then be eligible to receive—in addition to their Maximum Annual Bonus, which has already been earned—an additional payment (the “Stretch Bonus Amount”) in an amount equal to a percentage between (i) 0% and 20% of the base salary payable to such Executive and (ii) 0% and 8% of the base salary payable to such Vice President, based on the amount of bonus pool that is funded for that range (the “Stretch Bonus Pool”). The Stretch Bonus Pool shall be funded according to the achievement of Revenue Growth Percentage targets established by the Committee. For purposes of clarity, Executives and Vice Presidents shall become eligible to begin achieving the Stretch Bonus Amount after 100% of the Maximum Annual Bonus is achieved, and payment for any Stretch Bonus Amount an Executive or Vice President achieves shall be in addition to the 100% Maximum Annual Bonus.

 

2.

Any Annual Bonus payouts made to the Executive Team, Vice Presidents, Associate Vice Presidents, Senior Directors, or Directors pursuant to the Plan shall be payable at such time as bonuses are paid generally to executive officers of the Company.

 

3.

Any Annual Bonus paid or payable to any recipient pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to forfeiture, repayment, reimbursement or other recoupment (i) to the extent provided in the Company’s Amended and Restated Compensation Recoupment Policy, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Current Recoupment Policy”), (ii) to the extent that such recipient in the future becomes subject to any other recoupment or clawback policy hereafter adopted by the Company, including any such policy (or amended version of the Current Recoupment Policy) adopted by the Company to comply with the requirements of any applicable laws, rules or regulations, including pursuant to final SEC rules and/or final Nasdaq listing standards with respect to recoupment adopted in connection with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (such final rules and final Nasdaq listing standards, the “Dodd-Frank Clawback Requirements”) (such policies referenced in clause (i) or this clause (ii), collectively, the “Policies”), and (iii) to the extent otherwise provided under applicable legal requirements, SEC rules or Nasdaq listing standards which impose mandatory recoupment, as in effect from time to time (including pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Clawback Requirements). The Company may utilize any method of recovery specified in the Policies in connection with any such recoupment pursuant to the terms of the Policies.

The Company is focused on helping individuals and organizations in healthcare meet their ongoing learning, clinical development, credentialing, and scheduling needs. The Company also provides its solutions to nursing schools and nursing students.   The Company is organized and operated according to its One HealthStream approach, with its hStream technology platform at the center of that approach. Increasingly, SaaS-based applications in the Company's diverse ecosystem of solutions utilize the Company's proprietary hStream technology platform to enhance the value proposition for customers by creating interoperability with and among other applications. As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”), “HealthStream,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” mean HealthStream, Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.   Basis of Presentation   The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10‑Q and Article 10 of Regulation S‑X. Accordingly, condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block]	3. REVENUE RECOGNITION AND SALES COMMISSIONS   Revenue Recognition   Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring those goods or services. Revenue is recognized based on the following five step model:     • Identification of the contract with a customer   • Identification of the performance obligations in the contract   • Determination of the transaction price   • Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract   • Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation   The following table represents revenues disaggregated by revenue source (in thousands). Sales taxes are excluded from revenues.       Three Months Ended June 30,     Six Months Ended June 30,       2024     2023     2024     2023   Subscription services   $ 69,013     $ 66,506     $ 139,218     $ 132,521   Professional services     2,543       2,692       5,098       5,623   Total revenues, net   $ 71,556     $ 69,198     $ 144,316     $ 138,144       For the  three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized  $1.6 million and  $0.2 million in impairment losses on receivables and contract assets arising from the Company's contracts with customers, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $1.8 million and $0.4 million in impairment losses on receivables and contract assets arising from the Company's contracts with customers, respectively.   During the three months ended  June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized revenues of $47.2 million and $43.6 million, respectively, from amounts included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the respective periods. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized revenues of $65.2 million and $62.1 million, respectively, from amounts included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the respective periods. As of June 30, 2024, approximately $538 million of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations under contracts with customers. The Company expects to recognize revenue related to approximately 43% of these remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, with the remaining amounts recognized thereafter.   Sales Commissions   Sales commissions earned by the Company's sales employees are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. The Company recorded amortization of deferred commissions of $3.0 million and $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $6.0 million and $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which is included in sales and marketing expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]	4. INCOME TAXES   Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities measured at tax rates that will be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.   The Company computes its interim period provision for income taxes by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date pretax income or loss and adjusts the provision for discrete tax items recorded in the period. During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $1.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $2.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively.   The Company’s effective tax rate was 21% and 12% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate primarily reflects the statutory corporate income tax rate, the net effect of state taxes, foreign income taxes, the effect of various permanent tax differences, and recognition of discrete tax items. The Company recognizes excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies associated with stock-based awards as a component of its provision for income taxes. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded discrete tax expense of $14,000, which consisted primarily of discrete tax expense of $0.2 million related to reserves for uncertain tax positions, partially offset by a $0.1 million discrete tax benefit associated with stock-based awards. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded discrete tax benefits of $0.5 million, which consisted primarily of tax benefits associated with changes in state apportionment rules in Tennessee upon the enactment of the Tennessee Works Tax Act in the amount of $0.6 million, and stock-based awards, in the amount of $0.1 million. This tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was partially offset by $0.2 million of discrete tax expense related to reserves for uncertain tax positions.

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans using the fair-value based method for costs related to share-based payments, including restricted share units (“RSUs”) and stock options. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company issued 69,784 RSUs subject to service-based time vesting, with a weighted average grant date fair value of $26.92 per share, measured based on the closing fair market value of the Company's stock on the date of the grant. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company issued 72,923 RSUs subject to service-based time vesting, with a weighted average grant date fair value of $25.36 per share, measured based on the closing fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant.    During the six months ended  June 30, 2023, the Company granted 138,000 performance-based RSUs, the vesting of which occurs over a five-year period in increments of 15%, 20%, 20%, 20%, and 25% and is contingent upon continued service and achieving certain performance criteria established by the compensation committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) on an annual basis based on performance in 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027, respectively. The performance criteria for the second-year tranche, or 27,600 of these performance-based RSUs, is based on 2024 adjusted EBITDA. The measurement date for these 27,600 performance-based RSUs was established during the six months ended  June 30, 2024 with a weighted average grant date fair value of $26.79 per share, measured based on the closing fair market value of the Company's stock on the date the performance criteria was established. The performance criteria for the remaining 89,700 performance-based RSUs has not yet been determined and will be established on an annual basis in 2025, 2026, and 2027, as applicable; therefore, the measurement date for these remaining 89,700 performance-based RSUs cannot be determined until the performance criteria have been established.    During the six months ended  June 30, 2022, the Company approved the grant of 91,042 performance-based RSUs, the vesting of which occurs over a five-year period in increments of 15%, 20%, 20%, 20%, and 25% and is contingent upon continued service and achieving certain performance criteria established by the Compensation Committee on an annual basis based on performance in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, respectively. The performance criteria and measurement date for the third-year tranche, or 18,211 of these performance-based RSUs, is based on 2024 adjusted EBITDA and was established during the six months ended  June 30, 2024 with a grant date fair value of $26.79 per share, measured based on the closing fair market value of the Company's stock on the date the performance criteria was established. The performance criteria for the remaining 40,967 performance-based RSUs has not yet been determined and will be established on an annual basis in 2025 and 2026, as applicable; therefore, the measurement date for these remaining 40,967 performance-based RSUs cannot be determined until the performance criteria have been established.   Total stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income is as follows (in thousands):       Three Months Ended June 30,     Six Months Ended June 30,       2024     2023     2024     2023   Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation and amortization)   $ 50     $ 50     $ 103     $ 99   Product development     202       187       399       354   Sales and marketing     140       131       276       243   Other general and administrative     702       725       1,376       1,342   Total stock-based compensation expense   $ 1,094     $ 1,093     $ 2,154     $ 2,038

Earnings Per Share [Text Block]	6. EARNINGS PER SHARE   Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of potentially dilutive common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares are composed of incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and RSUs subject to vesting. The dilutive effect of common equivalent shares is included in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. The total number of common equivalent shares excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share, due to their anti-dilutive effect or contingent performance conditions, was approximately 155,000 and 225,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 166,000 and 246,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.   The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share data):       Three Months Ended June 30,     Six Months Ended June 30,       2024     2023     2024     2023   Numerator:                                 Net income   $ 4,168     $ 4,133     $ 9,394     $ 6,756   Denominator:                                 Weighted-average shares outstanding     30,401       30,684       30,357       30,638   Effect of dilutive shares     125       91       115       79   Weighted-average diluted shares     30,526       30,775       30,472       30,717                                     Net income per share:                                 Basic   $ 0.14     $ 0.13     $ 0.31     $ 0.22   Diluted   $ 0.14     $ 0.13     $ 0.31     $ 0.22

Debt Disclosure [Text Block]	8. DEBT   Revolving Credit Facility   On  October 6, 2023, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (“Revolving Credit Facility”), amending the Revolving Credit Facility dated as of  November 24, 2014, as amended, with certain lenders party thereto from time to time, and Truist, as Administrative Agent for the lenders. Under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company  may borrow up to $50.0 million, which includes a $5.0 million swingline sub-facility and a $5.0 million letter of credit sub-facility, as well as an accordion feature that allows the Company to increase the Revolving Credit Facility by a total of up to $25.0 million, subject to securing additional commitments from existing lenders or new lending institutions. The Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity date of  October 6, 2026.   The Company's obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are unsecured. In addition, if the Company forms or acquires any domestic subsidiaries, the loans and other obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility will be guaranteed by such domestic subsidiaries.   At the Company’s election, the borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, other than the swingline loans, bear interest at either (1) a base rate defined as the highest of (a) the rate which the Administrative Agent announces from time to time as its prime lending rate, as in effect from time to time, or (b) the Federal Funds Rate, as in effect from time to time, plus one-half of one percent (0.50%) per annum (any changes in such rates to be effective as of the date of any change in such rate), plus in each case an applicable margin that varies with the company’s funded debt leverage ratio; or (2) a term secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) defined as the greater of (a)(i) the forward-looking term rate based on SOFR determined as of the reference time for such interest period with a term equivalent to such interest period plus (ii) a term SOFR adjustment equal to 0.10% per annum and (b) zero, plus, in each case, an applicable margin that varies with the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio. The Company’s borrowings under the swingline loans bear interest at the base rate plus the applicable margin. The initial applicable margin for base rate loans is 0.50% and the initial applicable margin SOFR loans is 1.50%. The applicable margins will be adjusted quarterly, in each case two (2) business days after the Administrative Agent's receipt of the Company's quarterly financial statements. The Company is also required to pay a commitment fee accruing on the unused revolving commitment, which fee initially is 20 basis points per annum and a letter of credit fee, accruing at a rate per annum equal to the applicable margin for SOFR loans then in effect on the daily average amount of such lender’s letter of credit exposure.   Principal is payable in full at maturity on  October 6, 2026, and there are no scheduled principal payments prior to maturity. Interest on base rate loans and swingline loans is payable quarterly in arrears, and interest on SOFR loans is payable at the end of each interest period, and in the case of interest periods longer than three months, on each day which occurs every three months after the initial date of such interest period.   The purpose of the Revolving Credit Facility is for general working capital needs, permitted acquisitions (as defined in the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement), and for stock repurchase and/or redemption transactions that the Company  may authorize.   In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility required the Company to meet certain financial tests, including, without limitation:   • a funded debt leverage ratio (consolidated debt/consolidated EBITDA) of not greater than 3.0 to 1.0; and   • an interest coverage ratio (consolidated EBITDA/consolidated interest expense) of not less than 3.0 to 1.0.   In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, restrict additional indebtedness, liens and encumbrances, changes to the character of the Company’s business, acquisitions, asset dispositions, mergers and consolidations, sale or discount of receivables, creation or acquisitions of additional subsidiaries, and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements.   As of June 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants. There were no balances outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility as of or during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
