NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. 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 significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2013 is consistent with the audited 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 footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013 (included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 4, 2014).

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Accounting Standards Codification. The updated guidance states that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also provides for additional disclosures with respect to revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The standard will be effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently reviewing this standard to assess the impact on its future consolidated financial statements.

3. 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.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of approximately $3.2 million and $3.0 million respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was 42.3% and 40.7%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate primarily reflects the statutory corporate income tax rate, the net effect of state taxes, and the effect of various permanent tax differences.

4. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Company maintains two stock incentive plans. The Company accounts for its stock based compensation plans using the fair-value based method for costs related to share-based payments, including stock options and restricted share units (RSUs). During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company issued 70,080 RSUs with a weighted average grant date fair value of $28.71 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, 2013, the Company issued 77,750 RSUs with a weighted average grant date fair value of $21.70 per share, measured based on the closing fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant.

Total stock based compensation expense recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, which is recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of income, is as follows (in thousands):

 

		Three Months Ended June 30,								Six Months Ended June 30,
		2014				2013				2014				2013
Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation and amortization)		$	23			$	22			$	40			$	39
Product development			53				46				97				79
Sales and marketing			56				43				103				79
Other general and administrative			318				289				594				513
Total stock based compensation expense		$	450			$	400			$	834			$	710

5. 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 restricted share units 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, was approximately 70,000 and 135,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and approximately 119,000 and 135,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands, except per share data):

 

		Three Months Ended June 30,								Six Months Ended June 30,
		2014				2013				2014				2013

Diluted earnings per share		$	0.08			$	0.09			$	0.15			$	0.16

6. MARKETABLE SECURITIES

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value of marketable securities, which were all classified as available for sale, included the following (in thousands):

 

		June 30, 2014
		Adjusted Cost				Unrealized Gains				Unrealized Losses				Fair Value
Level 2:
Certificates of deposit		$	6,265			$	—			$	—			$	6,265
Corporate debt securities			44,645				7				(16	)			44,636
Subtotal			50,910				7				(16	)			50,901
Total		$	50,910			$	7			$	(16	)		$	50,901

 

		December 31, 2013
		Adjusted Cost				Unrealized Gains				Unrealized Losses				Fair Value
Level 2:
Certificates of deposit		$	2,260			$	—			$	—			$	2,260
Corporate debt securities			46,430				—				(31	)			46,399
Subtotal			48,690				—				(31	)			48,659
Total		$	48,690			$	—			$	(31	)		$	48,659

The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheet approximate the fair value based on quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs. As of June 30, 2014, the Company does not consider any of its marketable securities to be other than temporarily impaired. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not reclassify any items out of accumulated other comprehensive income to net income. All investments in marketable securities are classified as a current asset on the balance sheet because the underlying securities mature within one year from the balance sheet date.

7. BUSINESS COMBINATION

On March 3, 2014, the Company acquired all of the stock of Health Care Compliance Strategies, Inc. (HCCS), a Jericho, New York based company that specializes in healthcare compliance solutions and services. The Company acquired HCCS to further advance its suite of workforce development solutions, including its offering of compliance solutions. The consideration paid for HCCS consisted of approximately $13.0 million in cash and 81,614 shares of our common stock. The Company may make additional payments of up to $750,000, contingent upon the achievement of certain performance milestones within one year post-closing. The Company incurred approximately $500,000 in transaction costs associated with the acquisition, of which $350,000 were incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and $150,000 were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2013. The transaction costs were recorded in other general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of income. In allocating the purchase price, the Company has preliminarily recorded approximately $7.5 million of goodwill, $7.6 million of identifiable intangible assets, $2.4 million of tangible assets, and $1.5 million of liabilities. The goodwill balance is primarily attributed to assembled workforce, additional market opportunities of HCCS’s compliance solutions, and expected synergies from integrating HCCS’s products into our platform. The goodwill balance is deductible for U.S. income tax purposes. The allocation of purchase price is preliminary and may be subject to change within the measurement period of one year from the acquisition date. The primary areas of the preliminary purchase price allocation that are not finalized include the composition and valuation of intangible assets, goodwill, deferred revenue, contingent consideration, and final working capital adjustments. The results of operations for HCCS have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition, and are also included in the HealthStream Workforce Development Solutions segment.

During the second quarter of 2014, the Company determined the presentation of contingent consideration payments, or earn-outs, in connection with business combinations should be classified as a financing activity within the statement of cash flows. The Company previously classified such payments as an operating activity within the statement of cash flows. The Company has adjusted the statement of cash flows for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 and will adjust the statement of cash flows for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2013 when those financial statements are presented comparatively for the corresponding periods in 2014. The Company considers the adjustments to all aforementioned periods to be immaterial corrections of errors.

The effect of the immaterial adjustments on the consolidated statement of cash flows for the respective periods listed below is as follows (in thousands):

 

		Previously Reported				Adjustments				Adjusted
Net cash provided by operating activities, three months ended March 31, 2013		$	3,855			$	45			$	3,900
Net cash provided by financing activities, three months ended March 31, 2013			742				(45	)			697
Net cash provided by operating activities, six months ended June 30, 2013			11,041				318				11,359
Net cash provided by financing activities, six months ended June 30, 2013			1,524				(318	)			1,206
Net cash provided by operating activities, nine months ended September 30, 2013			22,854				357				23,211
Net cash provided by financing activities, nine months ended September 30, 2013			2,827				(357	)			2,470
Net cash provided by operating activities, year ended December 31, 2013			26,283				771				27,054
Net cash provided by financing activities, year ended December 31, 2013			6,876				(771	)			6,105
Net cash provided by operating activities, three months ended March 31, 2014			9,189				5				9,194

Business Combination

On March 3, 2014, the Company acquired all of the stock of Health Care Compliance Strategies, Inc. (HCCS), a Jericho, New York based company that specializes in healthcare compliance solutions and services. The Company acquired HCCS to further advance its suite of workforce development solutions, including its offering of compliance solutions. The consideration paid for HCCS consisted of approximately $13.0 million in cash and 81,614 shares of our common stock. The Company may make additional payments of up to $750,000, contingent upon the achievement of certain performance milestones within one year post-closing. The Company incurred approximately $500,000 in transaction costs associated with the acquisition, of which $350,000 were incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and $150,000 were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2013. The transaction costs were recorded in other general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of income. In allocating the purchase price, the Company has preliminarily recorded approximately $7.5 million of goodwill, $7.6 million of identifiable intangible assets, $2.4 million of tangible assets, and $1.5 million of liabilities. The goodwill balance is primarily attributed to assembled workforce, additional market opportunities of HCCS’s compliance solutions, and expected synergies from integrating HCCS’s products into our platform. The goodwill balance is deductible for U.S. income tax purposes. The allocation of purchase price is preliminary and may be subject to change within the measurement period of one year from the acquisition date. The primary areas of the preliminary purchase price allocation that are not finalized include the composition and valuation of intangible assets, goodwill, deferred revenue, contingent consideration, and final working capital adjustments. The results of operations for HCCS have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition, and are also included in the HealthStream Workforce Development Solutions segment.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions during the preparation of our 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 financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates, judgments or assumptions and actual results, our 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

 

•

Software development costs

 

•

Goodwill, intangibles, and other long-lived assets

 

•

Allowance for doubtful accounts

 

•

Stock based compensation

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 Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2013 Form 10-K, which contains 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 2013 Form 10-K.

This improvement is consistent with the factors mentioned above. See Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures below for our reconciliation of this calculation to measures under US GAAP.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This report contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP revenue and adjusted EBITDA, which are used by management in analyzing our financial results and ongoing operational performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance which are prepared in accordance with US GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

Table of Contents

In order to better assess the Company’s financial results, management believes that adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of the Company because adjusted EBITDA reflects net income adjusted for non-cash and non-operating items. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by many investors and securities analysts to assess the Company’s results from current operations. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under US GAAP. Because adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with US GAAP, it is susceptible to varying calculations. Accordingly, adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

The Company understands that, although adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluation of companies, this measure has limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of the Company’s results as reported under US GAAP. For example, adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; it does not reflect non-cash components of employee compensation; it does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and due to the Company’s utilization of federal and state net operating loss carryforwards and other available deductions in 2013 and 2014, actual cash income tax payments have been significantly less than the tax provision recorded in accordance with US GAAP, and income tax payments will continue to be less than the income tax provision until our existing federal and state net operating loss carryforwards have been fully utilized or have expired.

Management compensates for the inherent limitations associated with using adjusted EBITDA through disclosure of such limitations, presentation of our financial statements in accordance with US GAAP, and reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable US GAAP measure.

The Company completed the acquisitions of Decision Critical, Inc. (DCI) during June 2012, Sy.Med Development, Inc. (Sy.Med) in October 2012, BLG in September 2013, and HCCS in March 2014. In accordance with US GAAP reporting requirements for fair value, we recorded a deferred revenue write-down of $192,000 for DCI, $916,000 for Sy.Med, $254,000 for BLG, and a preliminary estimated write-down of approximately $2.0 million for HCCS. These write-downs result in lower revenues than would have otherwise been recognized for such services.

In order to provide more accurate trends and comparisons of the Company’s revenues, operating income, and net income, management believes that adding back the deferred revenue write-down associated with fair value accounting for acquired businesses provides a better indication of the ongoing performance of the Company. The revenue for the acquired contracts is deferred and typically recognized over a one year period, so our US GAAP revenues for the one year period after the acquisition will not reflect the full amount of revenues that would have been reported if the acquired deferred revenue was not written down to fair value.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities increased approximately 94.5% and approximated $22.1 million and $11.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. This improvement primarily resulted from increased cash receipts from the sales of our products and services. The number of days sales outstanding (DSO) was 66 days for the second quarter of 2014 compared to 63 days for the second quarter of 2013. The Company calculates DSO by dividing the average accounts receivable balance for the quarter, excluding unbilled and other receivables, 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, and general corporate expenses.

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $20.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, while $721,000 was provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company purchased $32.0 million of marketable securities, utilized $12.5 million (net of cash acquired) for acquisitions, spent $2.7 million for capitalized software development, purchased $2.4 million of property and equipment, and made $265,000 in non-marketable equity investments. These uses of cash were partially offset by maturities of marketable securities of $29.1 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company purchased $51.5 million of marketable securities, spent $2.0 million for capitalized software development, purchased $1.2 million of property and equipment, made $250,000 in non-marketable equity investments, and utilized $181,000 for acquisitions. These uses of cash were partially offset by maturities of marketable securities of $55.9 million.

Cash provided by financing activities was approximately $49,000 and $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The primary source of cash from financing activities for 2014 and 2013 resulted from proceeds (net of payroll taxes paid) from the exercise of employee stock options and issuance of shares associated with the vesting of RSUs. The primary use of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 resulted from earn-out payments associated with the acquisitions of DCI and Sy.Med.

Our balance sheet reflects positive working capital of $85.3 million at June 30, 2014 compared to $90.9 million at December 31, 2013. The decrease in working capital was primarily due to the use of cash for the HCCS acquisition, but was partially offset by cash generated from operations. The Company’s primary source of liquidity is $111.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. As of June 30, 2014, the Company maintained full availability under a $20.0 million revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility expires on August 21, 2014, and the Company intends to renew the facility on terms equal to or better than the previous agreement.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, cash generated from operations, and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet anticipated cash needs for working capital, new product development and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. Over the past nine years, we have utilized our federal and state net operating loss carryforwards to offset taxable income, therefore reducing our tax liabilities. We anticipate our remaining net operating loss carryforwards will become fully utilized within the next 12 to 24 months. Our actual tax payments are expected to increase significantly once the net operating loss carryforwards are fully utilized. As part of our growth strategy, we have recently completed several acquisitions and we continue to review possible acquisitions that complement our products and services. We anticipate that future acquisitions, if any, would be effected through a combination of stock and cash consideration. 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 equity. Therefore, if we were to borrow against our revolving credit facility, our debt capacity would be dependent on the covenant values at the time of borrowing. As of June 30, 2014, we were in compliance with all covenants. The credit and capital markets have been experiencing extreme volatility and disruption. 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 assure you 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. We do not have any foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk. As of June 30, 2014, 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 is based on 30 Day LIBOR plus a margin of either 175 or 200 basis points determined in accordance with a pricing grid. We are exposed to market risk with respect to our cash and investment balances, which approximated $111.8 million at June 30, 2014. Assuming a hypothetical 10% decrease in interest rates, interest income from cash and investments would decrease on an annualized basis by approximately $55,000.

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.
