MTBC Discusses Achievement of Financial Milestones

SOMERSET, N.J., Oct. 09, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MTBC (Nasdaq: MTBC) (Nasdaq: MTBCP), a leading provider of proprietary, cloud-based healthcare IT solutions and services today reported certain initial highlights of the Company’s financial achievements during the third quarter of 2017.

“The third quarter of 2017 was an important inflection point for MTBC and we believe that we are now as well positioned as we’ve ever been,” said Bill Korn, MTBC’s CFO. “While we will officially report our financial results on November 6, 2017, after our independent accountants review our financial statements for the third quarter, we wanted to provide some initial highlights of key accomplishments.”

“During the third quarter of 2017, we repaid all of our outstanding term debt and also fully satisfied our MediGain acquisition debt,” said Mr. Korn.  The details of the debt repayment are as follows:  

• MTBC fully repaid the balance of its $8 million term loans from Opus Bank, which had outstanding balances of approximately $7.3 million as of January 1, 2017, almost two years ahead of maturity.  
• On September 28, 2017, MTBC paid Prudential $5.3 million, which represented payment-in-full for the balance of the consideration owed for MTBC’s MediGain transaction.

Mr. Korn further explained, “We sold approximately $7.9 million of additional non-convertible Series A Preferred Stock, enabling us to repay these debts without diluting our common stockholders. Our last tranche closed on September 28 and was oversubscribed even after being upsized. The monthly dividends on our preferred stock are less than the monthly principal repayments we were making to Opus Bank until we repaid the term loans in September.”

“As a result of the success of our growth strategy and acquisition integration efforts, we are pleased to report that our revenues have exceeded cash operating expenses (which excludes depreciation and amortization) since May 2017. On September 30, 2017, MTBC had approximately $2.7 million of cash and $2.0 million drawn on our revolver.  We are in the process of initiating a new revolving line of credit with a bank that is very strong in healthcare and technology, which will leave us well-positioned for growth,” explained Mr. Korn.  Please visit MTBC’s Investor Relations website at ir.mtbc.com to view the MTBC Fact Sheet, Corporate Presentation, and listen to interviews with the MTBC leadership team.
