Acquisitions Would Add Additional Capabilities in Financial and
Operational Analytics and Patient Access and Scheduling
Company Provides Preliminary Financial Results for Q3 and Guidance
for Fiscal Years 2013 and 2014
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Streamline
Health Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: STRM), a leading provider of
knowledge management solutions for healthcare providers, today announced
that it has signed letters of intent to purchase two companies to
augment its existing solutions across the entire patient experience. The
transactions are subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive
acquisition agreements and the satisfaction of typical and customary
closing conditions, including approval of the respective Board of
Directors of the Company and the targets and the targets' shareholders.
There can be no assurance as to whether or when the acquisitions may be
completed or as to the actual terms of the acquisitions.
The transaction expected to close first in the fiscal fourth quarter of
2013 would add patient access and scheduling capabilities. The target
company sells these solutions generally under a perpetual license model,
however Streamline intends to transition this revenue stream into a
SaaS-based model much like the Company has done with that of Meta Health
Technology, a company Streamline Health acquired in 2012. The target
company currently has 29 clients, only 9 of whom are Streamline clients.
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2013 total revenues were $3.9
million, of which $3.2 million were recurring. The letter of intent
provides that at closing Streamline would pay approximately $6.5 million
in cash for the target company.
The second transaction, which is in the due diligence stage, is expected
to close in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2013 or in the fiscal first
quarter of 2014, and would add additional financial and operational
analytics to Streamline Health's existing suite of solutions. The target
company sells these solutions today as a SaaS-based model. The company
currently has 35 clients, none of whom are Streamline clients today. The
letter of intent provides that at closing Streamline Health anticipates
paying approximately $13.75 million in a combination of cash and shares
of STRM common stock.
"We are constantly seeking to improve and expand the SaaS-based
solutions we offer across the entire patient experience. Adding patient
access and scheduling solutions, along with additional financial and
operational analytics, would give us greater ability to meet the growing
needs of our clients," stated Robert E. Watson, chief executive officer
of Streamline Health. "The addition of new client relationships through
these acquisitions would also provide cross selling opportunities for
our existing suite of solutions."
Finalizing IPP Acquisition
The Company has agreed in principle to the final earn-out payment for
its acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Interpoint
Partners, LLC that was completed in December of 2011. The Company agreed
to pay the seller an additional $3.0 million of aggregate consideration
in satisfaction of the earn-out obligation, consisting of $1.3 million
in cash, 400,000 shares of Company common stock and an unsecured, fully
subordinated three-year note in the amount of $900,000. This represents
the final payment for Streamline Health's most popular solution —
OpportunityAnyWare™ business analytics.
Preliminary Q3 Financial Results
The following statements are based on Streamline Health's current
expectations. These statements contain forward-looking statements and
company estimates, and actual results may differ materially. Streamline
Health assumes no duty to update any forward-looking statements made in
this press release.
In the third quarter of 2013, the Company's sales organization was
successful in its efforts to shift a large license transaction in its
quarterly forecast to a SaaS model sales opportunity, a strategy that
Streamline Health continues to emphasize with its client base. Given
this change in projected license terms, the Company expects to report Q3
2013 revenue of approximately $6.7 million. Bookings were up
approximately 19% over the previous quarter, and bookings plus renewals
in the period were approximately $10.0 million. Total backlog increased
from $51.9 million in Q2 2013 to approximately $55.0 million in Q3 2013.
Financial Guidance
Excluding any possible impact of the two proposed acquisitions, and
based on current business trends Streamline Health anticipates that net
revenues for 2013 will be in the range of $29.0 million to $31.0
million, approximately 80% of which will be recurring revenue, and for
fiscal year 2014, will be in the range of $35.0 million to $37.0
million, respectively. This represents organic revenue growth of 20% for
2014 compared to 2013. For 2014, the Company anticipates Adjusted EBITDA
in the range of $6.0 million to $8.0 million.
