Q&A Highlights
- Profitability vs reinvestment: Management emphasized sustained expense discipline and reallocation toward efficiency while reinvesting in growth, underpinning the FY2026 EBITDA step‑up .
- Revenue per AHSC drivers: Continuous optimization of go‑to‑market and cross‑selling across providers and Life Sciences; deal values ~20% larger YoY, supporting growth in total revenue per client .
- Acquisitions monetization: Not fully monetized yet, but progress underway; focus is on total revenue per client across all streams rather than subscription alone .
- Network Solutions selling cadence: Heavy fall selling season; visibility slightly ahead of last year; variability drives wider revenue range intra‑year .
- Retention & pipeline durability: Gross revenue retention ~94%–96% since IPO; pipeline size steady with larger transactions .
Estimates Context
- S&P Global consensus for Q3 FY2025 revenue and EPS was unavailable at time of analysis due to data access limits, so a beat/miss assessment vs Street cannot be determined.
- Given FY2026 EBITDA raised to $78–$88M and FY2025 EBITDA raised to $34–$36M, estimates are likely to adjust upward for profitability while revenue narrows to the mid‑$418–$420M range .
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Profitability inflection continues: two consecutive positive operating and free cash flow quarters, with FY2026 EBITDA guidance implying a significant step‑up on operating leverage .
- Network Solutions momentum (+27% YoY) and policy/privacy tailwinds (NAI, PAM expansion) support monetization and should drive total revenue per AHSC higher over time .
- Deal values ~20% larger YoY with steady pipeline suggest sustained growth in revenue per client; watch selling season execution in Q4 .
- Payments headwinds (take rate down to 2.82%; expense ratio 68%) and clearinghouse wind‑down are manageable but temper payments contribution near‑term .
- Guidance quality improving: FY2025 revenue range narrowed and EBITDA raised; FY2026 introduced with clear targets, indicating higher confidence in margin trajectory .
- Operational discipline: Sales & Marketing at 28% of revenue in Q3 with management reiterating expense discipline—supports continued EBITDA expansion even without significant opex growth .
- Near‑term trading: Focus on Q4 Network Solutions bookings and any further updates to FY2026 outlook; medium‑term thesis centers on expanding provider network (AHSC ~4,200 for FY2025; ~4,500 FY2026) and increasing total revenue per AHSC .
