ATLANTA, Dec. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Streamline Health Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: STRM), a leading provider of knowledge management solutions for healthcare providers, today announced financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, which ended October 31, 2013.

Revenues for the three-month period ended October 31, 2013 were $6.7 million, as compared to $6.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. Recurring revenue as a percentage of total revenue improved sequentially in the quarter to 83% from 65%. New contract bookings increased sequentially to $6.5 million dollars in the quarter, from $5.3 million last quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was $0.6 million, as compared to $1.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012.  The Company incurred additional expense in the quarter primarily in three areas: increased headcount in sales, transition costs and additional headcount in implementation services, and expenses associated with Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. Cash on the balance sheet was $4.3 million, net of the $3.0 million outlay to license the previously announced Clinical Analytics platform from Montefiore Medical Center.  Post-quarter end, the Company successfully completed a follow-on stock offering on November 27, 2013, selling 3.45 million shares of common stock at $6.50 per share.  Net proceeds to the Company totaled $20,750,000.

"Our Company continues to emphasize to our clients and prospects the benefits of SaaS contracts.  During the quarter our sales organization was successful in shifting a large license transaction in its quarterly forecast to a SaaS-model sales opportunity, which is expected to close by the end of our fiscal year," said Robert E. Watson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Streamline Health.

"In addition, during the quarter, we exclusively licensed clinical analytics and population management capabilities from Montefiore Medical Center that will enable us to deliver clinical knowledge and predictive analytics to care providers prior to the act of providing care, which we believe will lead to better quality outcomes, lowered re-admission rates and improvement in their overall clinical and operational efficiency,"

Highlights for the quarter included:

• Revenue for the third quarter 2013 was $6.7 million;
• Software as a Service (SaaS) revenues for third quarter 2013 were $1.9 million;
• Maintenance and support revenues for the third quarter 2013 were $3.5 million;
• New sales bookings for the quarter were $6.5 million; and
• Backlog at the end of the quarter was $55.0 million.

Operating expenses for the three-month period ending October 31, 2013 were $7.9 million, compared to $6.8 million in the comparable prior year period, representing an increase of $1.1 million, or 15%, over the prior year comparable period due to investment in additional sales personnel, some duplicative headcount in operations as the Company transitioned its operations function from Cincinnati to Atlanta, and incremental Sarbanes-Oxley compliance costs.

* Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Streamline Health reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Streamline Health's management also evaluates and makes operating decisions using various other measures. One such measure is adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Streamline Health's management believes that these measures provide useful supplemental information regarding the performance of Streamline Health's business operations.

Streamline Health defines "non-GAAP adjusted net earnings (loss)" as GAAP net earnings (loss) plus losses on conversion of convertible notes, transaction-related expenses, and non-recurring operational costs.

Streamline Health defines "adjusted EBITDA" as net earnings (loss) plus interest expense, tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense of tangible and intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, significant non-recurring operating expenses, and transactional related expenses including: gains and losses on debt and equity conversions, associate severances and related restructuring expenses, associate inducements, and professional and advisory fees, and internal direct costs incurred to complete transactions.

This press release contains a non-GAAP financial measure under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for adjusted EBITDA. This non-GAAP information supplements and is not intended to represent a measure of performance in accordance with disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. Non-GAAP financial measures are used internally to manage the business, such as in establishing an annual operating budget. Non-GAAP financial measures are used by Streamline Health's management in its operating and financial decision-making because management believes these measures reflect ongoing business in a manner that allows meaningful period-to-period comparisons. Accordingly, the Company believes it is useful for investors and others to review both GAAP and non-GAAP measures in order to (a) understand and evaluate current operating performance and future prospects in the same manner as management does and (b) compare in a consistent manner the Company's current financial results with past financial results. The primary limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures are that these measures may not be directly comparable to the amounts reported by other companies and they do not include all items of income and expense that affect operations. The Company's management compensates for these limitations by considering the company's financial results and outlook as determined in accordance with GAAP and by providing a detailed reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the tables attached to this press release. Streamline Health defines "adjusted EBITDA" as net earnings (loss) plus interest expense, tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense of tangible and intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, significant non-recurring operating expenses, and transactional related expenses including: gains and losses on debt and equity conversions, associate severances and related restructuring expenses, associate inducements, professional and advisory fees, and internal direct costs incurred to complete transactions.
