Medical
Transcription Billing Corp. (NASDAQ: MTBC) is a health care information
technology company marketing a fully-integrated suite of web-based solutions to
an expanding network of health care providers. The company’s product portfolio,
which includes a web-based electronic health record solution (WebEHR), revenue
cycle and practice management solutions and other related business services, is
currently in use by health care organizations in more than 40 states across the
country, ranging from single physician practices to independent physician
associations. Leveraging these flexible solutions, MTBC’s clients are able to
increase revenues, streamline workflows and make better business and clinical
decisions while simultaneously limiting administrative burdens and operating
expenses.
Since
listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market in 2014, MTBC has relied on an aggressive
acquisition strategy to expand its foothold in the health care information
technology market, completing three concurrent acquisitions at the time of its
IPO. The company has already completed three additional acquisitions this year,
and its management team has indicated that more targets are on the radar moving
forward. Perhaps the most noteworthy of the 2016 acquisitions to date, MTBC
purchased Texas-based Gulf Coast Billing, Inc. in February. In addition to
adding roughly $3 million in annualized revenues to its books, the acquisition
strategically positioned MTBC to expand its client base moving forward,
particularly in terms of niche specialty markets.
Last
month, the company gave prospective shareholders some insight into the early
impact of its 2016 acquisitions when it released its financial results for the
second quarter. MTBC’s quarterly revenue of $5.2 million was up slightly from
the results of Q1, while its GAAP net loss was down 35 percent from the first
three months of 2016. Moreover, the company recorded its third consecutive
quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA, reporting $14,000 for the period.
“Our
quarter over quarter revenue growth is a milestone, marking the first time this
has happened since the fourth quarter of 2014,” Mahmud Haq, chairman and chief
executive officer of MTBC, stated in a recent news release. “This reflects the
stabilization of our business after the three simultaneous acquisitions at the
time of our IPO in 2014, and the fact that we had obtained capital to invest in
growing our business at the end of 2015. We finished the quarter with $6.6
million of growth capital.”
This
stabilization could be coming at a great time, as the health care information
technology market is rapidly evolving and taking shape. According to Statista
(http://dtn.fm/0mmKN), medical IT spending in the United States and Europe
topped $341.8 billion in 2014, up more than 12 percent from 2009, and the
proliferation of mobile and wearable technologies is expected to play a key
role in continuing this upward trend in the years to come. In a 2015 report
from Accenture (http://dtn.fm/uI10I), 41 percent of health executives reported
that their organization’s data volume related to patients had grown by more
than 50 percent in just one year. Meanwhile, a massive 52 percent of surveyed
patients were interested in receiving enhanced access to this data,
particularly as it relates to physician notes.
The
effects of these changes can be seen throughout the health care industry.
Kaiser Permanente, the largest managed care organization in the country,
recently invested $4 billion in building its advanced HealthConnect platform,
which provides real-time access to medical records for both clinicians and its
roughly nine million members. For health care providers without $4 billion to
invest, MTBC’s portfolio of products represents an attractive alternative.
The
company’s KLAS-ranked EHR software ChartsPro™, for example, allows physicians
to automate a variety of clinical activities in order to improve efficiency and
productivity. The web-based platform empowers patients by offering convenient
access to personal health records and streamlines the workflow of clinicians
with a comprehensive WebEHR dashboard, convenient e-prescribing capabilities
and direct lab integration.
All
told, MTBC’s entire product portfolio functions as a cohesive platform designed
to help health care providers improve their financial performance and transform
their practices into successful business enterprises. By aiding physician
practices in their efforts to successfully navigate a rapidly shifting health
care industry environment, MTBC is strategically positioned to capitalize on
the ongoing technological revolution in health care.
