BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J., Sept. 26, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Authentidate Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: ADAT ), a provider of secure web-based software applications and telehealth products and services for healthcare organizations, today announced financial results for the three- and 12-month periods ended June 30, 2013.
Selected highlights for the fiscal year include:
- Increased revenues and reduced operating losses for the quarter and fiscal year periods. For the year, revenues increased approximately 51% due to growth from both telehealth products and services and hosted software services.
- Strengthened our balance sheet with the conversion of the company's outstanding shares of Series C convertible redeemable preferred stock to common stock, the cancellation of $6.5 million of senior secured notes in exchange for shares of Series D convertible preferred stock and warrants, and the completion of an underwritten public offering of the company's common stock and warrants for net proceeds of approximately $3.93 million.
- Completed the required test-in phase with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for our Electronic House Call (EHC) and Interactive Voice Response (IVR) telehealth solutions; the VA approved the use of these solutions by VA facilities throughout the country.
- Completed the integration between the VA's VistA Electronic Health Records system and the company's telehealth solutions; the VA approved the use of the interface in its national telehealth program and also approved a number of new Disease Management Protocols (DMPs) for both telehealth solutions, significantly increasing the available patient population for these solutions.
- Announced several new customers for our Inscrybe® Referral Management and Hospital Discharge solutions and a co-marketing agreement with Fastrack™ Healthcare Systems, a Mediware company, for an interface between the referral management solution and the Fastrack Enterprise practice management system.
- Introduced a mobile telehealth tablet and a telehealth software application to address the growing need for mobility in the telehealth market, complement current products and services and provide for a broader range of price points and patient segments that can benefit from telehealth.
Following the end of the fiscal year, the company announced that it had started to enroll patients for its sole-source VA telehealth pilot program for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) patients. We also announced new customers for the telehealth and referral management solutions and the retention of Hayden IR as our new investor relations firm.
Ben Benjamin, Chief Executive Officer of Authentidate, stated, "The significant progress we made with our VA telehealth project during fiscal 2013 helped drive a meaningful increase in our revenues for the second half of the year. We continue to work closely with the VA and believe that the extension of our contract for the second of four option years reflects positive progress with this project. We are also encouraged by the growing number of VA locations using our products and services as well as the sole-source award from the VA for a telehealth pilot program for HIV patients. As we previously reported, the VA estimates that it provided care to more than 25,000 patients with HIV in 2011. Although we cannot predict the number of patients that will be enrolled in the program, we believe it represents an important opportunity and should help us accelerate our revenue growth in fiscal 2014 and beyond. Our fiscal 2013 accomplishments and a growing base of recurring revenues leave us enthusiastic about the next few quarters as well as the long term opportunities for our business."
Mr. Benjamin continued, "We continue to focus on growing sales of our telehealth products and services to the VA and commercial customers, increasing the use of our referral management services by our existing customers and expanding our presence in the hospital discharge market. We are pursuing a number of opportunities for our products and services with large healthcare organizations and hospital systems and believe our experience serving the VA, which is the largest integrated healthcare system and telehealth consumer in the country, our innovative products and services and our responsive customer service leave us well positioned for future growth and profitability. We are off to a great start in fiscal 2014 as companies such as ours, that offer leading products and services that cut healthcare costs and improve patient outcomes, are gaining increasing attention. We believe Authentidate has the right products and services for the emerging needs of healthcare organizations as the market develops and confronts ongoing regulatory reforms and industry trends affecting the healthcare industry."
Fourth Quarter Financial Results
Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 increased approximately 43% to $1.4 million compared to $1.0 million for the prior year period. These results primarily reflect an increase in revenues from telehealth products and services. Revenues for the fourth quarter increased approximately 2.5% compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2013 reflecting higher revenues from telehealth products and services and the timing of product shipments.
Operating loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 was $1.6 million compared to $2.2 million for the prior year period. This decrease reflects the increase in revenues and lower total operating expenses for the period resulting from our expense management measures implemented in January 2013. Net loss for the quarter was $3.4 million, or $0.12 per share, compared to $2.8 million, or $0.13 per share, for the prior year period. The increase in net loss for the quarter is due to the increase in the non-cash amortization of the debt discount on the company's senior secured notes of approximately $0.2 million and the non-cash loss of approximately $1.1 million on the early extinguishment of certain senior secured notes in exchange for Series D preferred stock and warrants which offset the lower operating loss for the current period.
Full-Year Financial Results
Revenues for the year ended June 30, 2013 increased approximately 51% to $4.8 million compared to $3.2 million for the prior year period. The increase in revenues for the period reflects an increase in revenues from both telehealth products and services and hosted software services.
Operating loss for the year ended June 30, 2013 was $7.4 million compared to $7.7 million for the prior year period. This decrease reflects the increase in revenues for the period which offset the increase in total operating expenses. Net loss for the year was $11.3 million, or $0.45 per share, compared to $8.4 million, or $0.35 per share, for the prior year period. The increase in net loss for the period is due to the increase in the non-cash amortization of the debt discount on the company's senior secured notes of approximately $2.3 million and the non-cash loss on early extinguishment of notes discussed above which offset the lower operating loss for the current year. The prior year period also reflects a payroll tax credit which lowered expenses for the period.
Balance Sheet
As of June 30, 2013 cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $3.7 million and the company had working capital of $4.9 million.
Mr. Benjamin concluded, "This was a strong end to an important year for Authentidate. We grew revenues 43% for the quarter and 51% for the year and reduced our operating losses for the periods, demonstrating the leverage we have in our business model. We strengthened our balance sheet with the equity transactions we completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 and we will continue to manage our operating expenses and cash needs as we move through fiscal 2014. We are excited about the opportunities ahead for Authentidate as our products and services gain further market acceptance and we expect our financial results to continue to improve."
