•Recognized quarterly total revenue of $114.7 million

•Reported quarterly GAAP net income of $6.7 million, or 5.9% of total revenue

President and CEO Commentary

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

“We are pleased to announce that we achieved solid third quarter results with record revenue of $114.7 million and EBITDA of $30.6 million despite the external challenges facing the market at large. This is a testament to the dedication and commitment of the entire BioTelemetry team. All segments of the business contributed to this excellent Q3 rebound, posting 15.7% sequential growth. Cardiac monitoring volumes exited the quarter above pre-COVID levels, and our recurring cardiac revenue increased as a percentage of total revenue. Our Population Health business grew nicely as well, driven by the launch of the Centene partnership.

“Despite the numerous challenges posed by the pandemic, we remained focused on executing our strategy. We continued to augment our Artificial Intelligence capabilities, which are enhancing scalability and improving efficiencies across the enterprise. Telehealth and remote monitoring will continue to play an integral role in a post-COVID-19 marketplace. As one of the largest, fastest growing and most profitable connected health companies, we are perfectly positioned to capitalize on these opportunities. As such, we expect to outperform the market for years to come, with top-line growth of over 15% in 2021.”

Third Quarter Financial Results

Total revenue for the third quarter 2020 was $114.7 million compared to $111.3 million for the third quarter 2019, an increase of $3.4 million, or 3.0%.

Gross profit for the third quarter 2020 was $69.0 million, or 60.2% of total revenue, compared to $69.3 million, or 62.3% of total revenue, for the third quarter 2019.

On a GAAP basis, net income for the third quarter 2020 was $6.7 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to net income of $8.3 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2019. The decline in net income was primarily due to increased fixed operating costs as we continue to invest in our anticipated growth, which has been affected by COVID-19.

On an adjusted basis1, net income for the third quarter 2020 was $16.5 million, or $0.45 per diluted share. This compares to adjusted net income of $18.8 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2019. The decline in non-GAAP adjusted net income was consistent with the change in GAAP net income. The details regarding adjusted net income are included in the reconciliation tables included in this release.

1 The 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.

a.In the third quarter 2020, other charges of $3.2 million were primarily due to a $1.2 million unfavorable change in the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration, $1.1 million for patent and other litigation and $0.9 million of integration and other non-recurring charges. In the third quarter 2019, other charges of $2.6 million were primarily due to $2.1 million for patent and other litigation and $0.4 million for integration and other non-recurring charges.

b.In the third quarter 2020 and 2019, we recognized $4.1 million and $3.7 million of expense, respectively, related to the amortization of acquisition-related intangible 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 third quarter 2020, we had an unrealized foreign exchange gain of $0.1 million, offset partially by $0.1 million of interest expense related to a portion of the Geneva Healthcare deferred purchase consideration. In the third quarter 2019, we had an unrealized foreign exchange loss of $0.7 million and interest expense of $0.1 million 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 had a positive $5.0 million and $4.9 million impact on the third 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 third quarter 2020 excludes other charges of $3.2 million, $4.1 million of amortization expense related to our acquisition-related intangible assets, $0.1 million of unrealized foreign currency gain, $0.1 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 third quarter 2019 excludes other charges of $2.6 million, $3.7 million of amortization expense related to acquisition-related intangible assets, $0.7 million of unrealized foreign currency loss, $0.1 million of interest expense related to a portion of the Geneva Healthcare contingent consideration, the tax effect of these adjustments, as well as the impact from the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards. 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.
