Key Takeaways for Investors
- RCM-led execution is supporting margins and cash generation: RCM grew to $54.1M with mix at 63.9% and Adjusted EBITDA improved to $12.6M (14.8%) .
- EHR remains a drag YoY, but sequential improvement and recurring revenue stability ($26.7M) point to a more balanced H2 if bookings convert on plan .
- GAAP losses persist on interest and non‑recurring items; sustained de‑leveraging and lower non‑recurring costs are key to EPS inflection (interest expense $(4.242)M; LT debt $177.0M) .
- Guidance credibility improved: FY revenue and EBITDA ranges maintained; Q3 guide ($82–$85M revenue; $11.5–$13.5M EBITDA) sets a reasonable bar for sequential execution .
- Watch conversion of larger deals and cross‑sell into revenue, particularly the bookings‑to‑revenue lag cited previously (4–6 months typical), as the main H2 revenue unlock .
- Near‑term setup: Stock may react to continued cash flow improvements and proof of sustained EBITDA margin expansion; risks include EHR softness and elevated interest expense .
