What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- First quarter of positive GAAP EPS since IPO; “Reporting our first positive EPS as a public company again is a major milestone” .
- Margin expansion and cost discipline: GAAP operating margin 10.9% vs 8.1% YoY; direct operating costs down ~$0.76M YoY; S&M and G&A down ~$1.4M combined .
- AI execution and new markets: ONC Health IT Certification for TalkEHR at CAHs (entry to inpatient EHR), dermatology EHR launch; “We’re advancing our 2025 product roadmap and gaining traction with Cirrus AI Notes and Cirrus AI Voice” .
What Went Wrong
- Revenue down 2.5% YoY to $27.377M due to a one-time non-recurring revenue item in Q2 2024; revenue mix remains RPM ≤5%, limiting contribution from newer programs near term .
- Non-GAAP adjustments still material: stock-based comp, amortization, restructuring and other items bridge GAAP to adjusted metrics; GAAP EPS sensitivity to preferred dividends persists (Q2 dividends $1.365M) .
- GAAP EPS outlook could be pressured by higher non-cash amortization from Medsphere, even as revenue guidance rises .
