On August 8, 2024, TruBridge Inc (TBRG, Financial) released its 8-K filing detailing the financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024. TruBridge Inc is a provider of healthcare solutions and services for community hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare systems, offering services such as electronic health records (EHR), revenue cycle management (RCM), and patient engagement. The company derives maximum revenue from the RCM segment.
Performance Overview
TruBridge Inc reported total revenues of $84.73 million for Q2 2024, a slight increase from $84.62 million in Q2 2023. However, the company faced a net loss of $5.05 million, widening from a net loss of $2.84 million in the same period last year. The revenue from the RCM segment increased to $54.11 million from $47.76 million, while the EHR segment saw a decline to $30.62 million from $36.86 million.
Financial Achievements and Challenges
Despite the steady revenue, TruBridge Inc faced several challenges. The total expenses for the quarter increased to $87.75 million from $86.53 million in Q2 2023. The increase in expenses was driven by higher costs in product development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses. The company also reported a significant increase in interest expenses, which rose to $4.24 million from $2.66 million in the previous year.
Chris Fowler, chief executive officer of TruBridge Inc, stated, “We are pleased with our second quarter performance, both operationally and financially. The team continued to build on our bookings momentum and cross-selling efforts, while we further enhanced our financial operations. Our solid revenue performance and adjusted EBITDA margin expansion in the quarter was punctuated by a significant improvement in cash flow from operations."
