Bull points
- Revenue was $115.9 million, an increase of 15% year over year.
- adjusted EBITDA was $20.8 million, an increase of 16.7% year over year, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 18%.
- We maintained positive operating cash flow and positive free cash flow for the fourth consecutive quarter. Operating cash flow remained positive at $14.9 million up $15.6 million year over year. Free cash flow remains positive at $7.5 million in the quarter, up $13.7 million year over year.
Bear points
- we did introduce our bill pay product or patient bill pay product last year. And so that continues to get traction in the market. And the way that works is, you know, providers, you know, utilizing that product, we believe the way, you know, drives to our businesses is more volume. So that we expect that to contribute.
- we talked about publicly, you know, the last setback we had with the acquisition we did on Connect On Call, but it's really, you know, the team did a great job getting that restored and back out in the market. So that probably cost us, you know, some time. And that's probably the only one I'd call out.
