President and CEO Commentary

Joseph H. Capper, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioTelemetry, Inc., commented:

“I would like to first express my sincere gratitude to the entire BioTelemetry team and to our many customers, suppliers and partners for their unwavering commitment in providing continuous service as we navigate this crisis.

“In spite of the current challenges, we had an excellent first quarter, during which we grew revenue to a record high of $113.0 million and recorded $29.5 million of adjusted EBITDA. All segments of the business grew and contributed to our 31^st consecutive quarter with year-over-year revenue growth.

“When the crisis hit, we made the necessary adjustments to scale back our operating cost structure without dramatically changing our capabilities. Our focus now is to guide the Company through this crisis as efficiently and effectively as possible, while remaining well positioned to meet demand in the event of a rapid recovery. Our excellent financial position will also enable us to continue advancing our business development opportunities.

“In a post-COVID healthcare environment, there will certainly be a greater acceptance of tele-health and remote monitoring solutions. As one of the largest, fastest growing and most profitable connected health companies, we are fortunate to be well ahead of the demand curve and perfectly positioned to capitalize on this opportunity.”

First Quarter Financial Results

Revenue for the first quarter 2020 was $113.0 million compared to $104.0 million for the first quarter 2019, an increase of $9.1 million, or 8.7%.

Gross profit for the first quarter 2020 was $70.5 million, or 62.4% of revenue, compared to $64.8 million, or 62.3% of revenue, for the first quarter 2019.

On a GAAP basis, net income for the first quarter 2020 was $7.1 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared to net income of $11.7 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, for the first quarter 2019. The decline in net income was primarily due to an increase in income tax expense, driven by the higher equity compensation deductions in the prior year as compared to the current period.

On an adjusted basis¹, net income for the first quarter 2020 was $16.4 million, or $0.45 per diluted share. This compares to adjusted net income of $15.2 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, for the first quarter 2019. Revenue growth is being offset by the impact of the ongoing investments in our sales force and technology. The details regarding adjusted net income are included in the reconciliation tables included in this release.

¹The Company believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures offers a meaningful representation of our performance, as we exclude expenses that are not necessary to support our ongoing business. We also make adjustments to facilitate year over year comparisons. Please refer to our “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in this release for additional information.

In the first quarter 2020, other charges of $2.1 million were primarily due to $1.9 million for patent and other litigation and $0.7 million of integration and other non-recurring charges, offset partially by a $0.3 million favorable change in the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration and a $0.3 million net credit from insurance proceeds related to our October 2019 information technology incident. In the first quarter 2019, other charges of $3.1 million were primarily due to $1.9 million for integration and restructuring activities related to our acquisitions and $1.0 million for patent and other litigation.

In the first quarter 2020 and 2019, we recognized $3.7 million and $3.3 million of expense, respectively, related to the amortization of acquisition-related intangibles assets. We have excluded this amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets from non-GAAP adjusted net income due to the non-operational nature of the expense. This amortization was recorded as a component of general and administrative expense.


c.	In the first quarter 2020, we had an unrealized foreign exchange gain of $1.0 million and incurred $0.4 million of interest expense related to a portion of the Geneva Healthcare deferred purchase consideration.


d.	Represents the tax effect of the non-GAAP adjustments at the Company’s annual effective tax rate.


e.	After giving effect to taxes at the estimated annual effective tax rate on the adjustments, the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and exclusion of discrete items had a $6.2 million positive and a $1.6 million negative impact on the first quarter 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), this press release also includes certain financial measures which have been adjusted and are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“Non-GAAP financial measures”). These Non-GAAP financial measures include adjusted income from operations, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow. In accordance with Regulation G of the Securities and Exchange Commission, we have provided a reconciliation of these Non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.

These Non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace GAAP financial measures. They are presented as supplemental measures of our performance in an effort to provide our stakeholders better visibility into our ongoing operating results and to allow for comparability to prior periods as well as to other companies’ results. Management uses these Non-GAAP financial measures to assess the financial health of our ongoing operating performance. Management encourages our stakeholders to consider all of our financial measures and to not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our performance.

Adjusted net income for the first quarter 2020 excludes other charges of $2.1 million, $3.7 million of amortization expense related to our acquisition-related intangible assets, $1.0 million of unrealized foreign currency gain, $0.4 million of interest expense related to a portion of the Geneva Healthcare

deferred purchase consideration, the tax effect of these adjustments, as well as the impact from the utilization of our net operating loss carryforwards. Adjusted net income for the first quarter 2019 excludes other charges of $3.1 million, $3.3 million of amortization expense related to acquired intangibles, the tax effect of these adjustments, as well as the exclusion of the benefit of discrete tax items. By excluding expenses that are considered unnecessary to support the ongoing business, are nonrecurring in nature or which limit year over year comparability, we believe these Non-GAAP financial measures offer a meaningful representation of our ongoing operating performance. Included in these excluded items are transaction related expenses, primarily legal and professional fees, integration related expenses, primarily severance, patent and other litigation, amortization of acquired intangibles, costs related to the October 2019 information technology incident net of insurance proceeds, costs related to restructuring programs aimed at streamlining operations and reducing future expense, as well as other one-time items. These excluded charges are not part of the ongoing operations, and therefore, not reflective of our core operations. We view patent litigation as an extreme measure not typically required in our industry to protect a company’s intellectual property and which has not been common practice for us. We commenced patent litigation proceedings after we uncovered specific evidence of four distinct cases of misappropriation and infringement. We can choose to resolve the outstanding matters and terminate the expense at any time. We also included the income tax effect of these adjustments.

In addition to adjusted income from operations, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share and free cash flow, we also present adjusted EBITDA. This Non-GAAP financial measure excludes income taxes, total other expense, net, other charges, depreciation and amortization and stock compensation expense. EBITDA is a widely accepted financial measure which we believe our stakeholders use to compare our ongoing financial performance to that of other companies. Adjusting our EBITDA for other charges and other one-time items is a meaningful financial measure as we believe it is an indication of our ongoing operations. In addition, we also add back stock-based compensation expense because it is non-cash in nature. Other companies may calculate adjusted EBITDA in a different manner.
