Financial Results:
Fourth Quarter 2021 Compared to Fourth Quarter 2020
Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2021 increased by $2.5 million, or four percent, to $64.3 million, compared to $61.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2020.
Revenues from our Workforce Solutions segment were $50.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $49.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. The workforce segment achieved this year-over-year improvement while overcoming a $6.6 million decrease in revenues from the legacy resuscitation products. Other workforce revenues, including revenues from recent acquisitions, more than offset this decline in legacy resuscitation revenues. In addition, workforce revenues also benefitted from a $0.5 million increase in professional services revenues, primarily associated with recently acquired businesses.
Revenues from our Provider Solutions segment were $13.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $12.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. Revenue growth of $1.3 million was attributable to both subscription revenues in the amount of $0.8 million and professional services revenues in the amount of $0.5 million.
Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require companies to write down beginning balances of acquired deferred revenue as part of “fair value” accounting as defined by GAAP. During the fourth quarter of 2021, HealthStream reported a reduction of $0.4 million to revenue and operating income and a reduction of $0.3 million to net income as a result of deferred revenue write-downs from recent acquisitions. During the fourth quarter of 2020, HealthStream reported a reduction of $0.9 million to revenue and operating income and a reduction of $0.7 million to net income as a result of deferred revenue write-downs from acquisitions.
As announced on December 29, 2021, Robert A. Frist, Jr. contributed 86,494 of his personally owned shares of common stock (a value at $2.2 million at the time of such grant) to the Company for the benefit of HealthStream employees, without any consideration paid to Mr. Frist. These shares were granted under the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan to over 1,000 of the Company’s employees. These shares were not subject to any vesting conditions. Mr. Frist also contributed an additional 7,113 of his personally owned shares to cover the Company's costs associated with such grants, such as administrative expenses and employer payroll taxes. Together, these grants resulted in the Company recognizing approximately $2.2 million of stock-based compensation expense and $0.2 million for administrative expenses and payroll taxes in the fourth quarter of 2021. These transactions adversely impacted adjusted EBITDA in the amount of $0.2 million. Thanks to Mr. Frist’s generous contribution of shares, all of HealthStream’s employees at the time of such grant are now owners of the Company, further aligning our employees with the goal of creating shareholder value.
Operating loss was $0.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, down from income of $1.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. The decrease in operating income was primarily attributable to the $2.4 million of stock-based compensation and related expenses recognized in the fourth quarter of 2021 as a result of the stock gift from Mr. Frist to employees noted above and higher operating expenses and amortization, primarily associated with recently acquired businesses.
Net loss was $0.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, down from net income of $0.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, and EPS was a loss of $0.01 per share (diluted) in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to income of $0.03 per share (diluted) for the fourth quarter of 2020. The decreases were driven by the $1.9 million, or $0.06 per share, of stock-based compensation and related expenses recognized in the fourth quarter of 2021 resulting from the stock gift from Mr. Frist to employees noted above.
Adjusted EBITDA was $12.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, up 12 percent from $10.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.
At December 31, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $51.9 million. Capital expenditures incurred during the fourth quarter of 2021 were $6.6 million.
Full-Year 2021 Compared to Full-Year 2020
For 2021, revenues were $256.7 million, an increase of five percent from revenues of $244.8 million for 2020. Operating income for 2021 decreased by 49 percent to $8.1 million, compared to $15.8 million for 2020. Net income for 2021 was $5.8 million, compared to $14.1 million for 2020. Earnings per share were $0.18 per share (diluted) for 2021, compared to $0.44 per share (diluted) for 2020. Adjusted EBITDA increased by 15 percent to $52.7 million for 2021, representing a record adjusted EBITDA for the Company, compared to $46.0 million for 2020.
Other Business Updates
At December 31, 2021, we had approximately 5.04 million contracted subscriptions to hStream, our Platform-as-a-Service technology. hStream technology enables healthcare organizations and their respective workforces to easily connect to and gain value from the growing HealthStream ecosystem of applications, tools, and content.
On November 30, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program to repurchase up to $20.0 million of outstanding shares of common stock. Pursuant to this authorization, the Company acquired shares valued at $5.1 million in the fourth quarter and may continue to make such purchases in the open market through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, including under a Rule 10b5-1 plan. The share repurchase program will terminate on the earlier of November 29, 2022 or when the maximum dollar amount has been expended. The share repurchase program does not require the Company to acquire any amount of shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
On December 1, 2021, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Rievent Technologies, LLC, a Virginia-based healthcare technology company offering a SaaS-based continuing education (CME/CE) management and delivery application, branded as Rievent, which supports publishers, professional associations, healthcare insurance companies, and healthcare providers. The consideration paid for Rievent consisted of approximately $4.0 million in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments.
Addition to Board of Directors
On January 11, 2022, we announced the addition of Terry Allison Rappuhn to the Company’s Board of Directors where she is serving as a member of its Audit Committee. Ms. Rappuhn has served on six public company boards with revenue ranging from $70 million to $5 billion, primarily among healthcare provider companies. She served as an audit committee member and financial expert for all six boards, while concurrently chairing four of those committees. She also served as the Chief Financial Officer for Quorum Health Group from 1999 to 2001. Along with Ms. Rappuhn’s executive-level financial expertise and leadership, she holds a CERT Certificate in Cybersecurity Oversight from the National Association of Corporate Directors and Carnegie Mellon University.

The Company’s guidance for 2022 as set forth above reflects the Company’s assumptions regarding, among other things, the COVID-19 pandemic as noted below and increased expenses in 2022 compared to 2021 associated with growth in staffing levels, lower employee turnover, and the resumption of employee travel. This consolidated guidance does not include the impact of any acquisitions that we may complete during 2022.
The Company’s financial guidance assumes that public health conditions associated with the pandemic and general economic conditions (including conditions impacting healthcare organizations) do not deteriorate during 2022.
Commenting on 2021 results, Robert A. Frist, Jr., Chief Executive Officer, HealthStream, said, “Last year we reached record levels of revenue and adjusted EBITDA, which is particularly remarkable given the previously discussed headwinds we had to overcome. With a cash and investments balance of $51.9 million and no debt, we are well positioned for growth in the coming year.”
“I believe HealthStream’s operational metrics may be equally insightful indicants of our progress. Cumulatively, over five million subscriptions have been contracted for our hStream technology platform; approximately 400,000 American Red Cross certifications have been awarded through HealthStream; and just in the year 2021, approximately 3.2 new contracts per week for CredentialStream were signed. I, along with all of our employees—who are now also shareholders in the Company, am excited about 2022 and the opportunities we have to support the healthcare workforce with our innovative solutions.”
A conference call with Robert A. Frist, Jr., Chief Executive Officer, Scott A. Roberts, Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President, and Mollie Condra, Vice President of Investor Relations and Corporate Communications, will be held on Tuesday, February 22, 2022, at 9:00 a.m. (ET). To listen to the conference, please dial 877-647-2842 (no conference ID needed) if you are calling within the domestic U.S. or Canada. If you are an international caller, please dial 914-495-8564 (no conference ID needed). The conference may also be accessed by going to http://ir.healthstream.com/events.cfm for the simultaneous Webcast of the call, which will subsequently be available for replay. The replay telephone numbers are 855-859-2056 (conference ID #2232968) for U.S. and Canadian callers and 404-537-3406 (conference ID #2232968) for international callers.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release presents adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure used by management in analyzing the Company’s financial results and ongoing operational performance. In order to better assess the Company’s financial results, management believes that net income excluding the impact of the deferred revenue write-downs associated with fair value accounting for acquired businesses and before interest, income taxes, stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, changes in fair value of non-marketable equity investments, the de-recognition of non-cash expense resulting from the PTO expense reduction in the first quarter of 2021, and the resolution of a mutual disagreement related to various elements of a past partnership which resulted in a reduction to cost of sales in the first quarter of 2020 (“adjusted EBITDA”) is a useful measure for evaluating the operating performance of the Company because adjusted EBITDA reflects net income adjusted for certain GAAP accounting, non-cash and non-operating items which may not, in any such case, fully reflect the underlying operating performance of our business. We also believe that adjusted EBITDA is useful to many investors to assess the Company’s ongoing operating performance and to compare the Company's operating performance between periods. In addition, beginning in 2021, executive bonuses are based on the achievement of adjusted EBITDA targets.
As noted above, the definition of adjusted EBITDA includes an adjustment for the impact of the deferred revenue write-downs associated with fair value accounting for acquired businesses. Following the completion of any acquisition by the Company, the Company must record the acquired deferred revenue at fair value as defined in GAAP, which may result in a write-down of deferred revenue. If the Company is required to record a write-down of deferred revenue, it may result in lower recognized revenue, operating income, and net income in subsequent periods. Revenue for any such acquired business is deferred and is typically recognized over a one-to-two-year period following the completion of any particular acquisition, so our GAAP revenues for this one-to-two-year period will not reflect the full amount of revenues that would have been reported if the acquired deferred revenue was not written down to fair value. Management believes that including an adjustment in the definition of adjusted EBITDA for the impact of the deferred write-downs associated with fair value accounting for acquired businesses provides useful information to investors because the deferred revenue write-down recognized in periods after an acquisition may, given the nature of this non-cash accounting impact, cause our GAAP financial results during such periods to not fully reflect our underlying operating performance and thus adjusting for this amount may assist in comparing the Company’s results of operations between periods.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered as measures of financial performance under GAAP. Because adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP, adjusted EBITDA is susceptible to varying calculations. Accordingly, adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and have limitations as an analytical tool.
This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance, which are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA to net income (the most comparable GAAP measure), which is set forth below in this release.

This press release includes certain forward-looking statements (statements other than solely with respect to historical fact), including statements regarding expectations for financial performance for 2022 as well as the anticipated impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial results, that involve risks and uncertainties regarding HealthStream. These statements are based upon management’s beliefs, as well as assumptions made by and data currently available to management. This information has been, or in the future may be, included in reliance on the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company cautions that forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, as the result of developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including, without limitation, related to the length and severity of the pandemic; the timing, availability, effectiveness and acceptance of medical treatments and vaccines with respect to COVID-19 and associated levels of vaccination; the spread of potentially more contagious and/or virulent forms of the virus, including possible strains that may be resistant to currently available vaccines; the impact of the pandemic on general economic conditions, including with respect to inflationary pressures, competitive labor market conditions and supply chain shortages and disruptions, the impact of the pandemic on healthcare organizations; measures we are taking to respond to the pandemic; and the impact of governmental action and regulation in connection with the pandemic (including the CARES Act and other federal stimulus measures); as well as risks referenced in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed on February 26, 2021, the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, filed on October 28, 2021, and in the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. Consequently, such forward-looking information should not be regarded as a representation or warranty or statement by the Company that such projections will be realized. Many of the factors that will determine the Company’s future results are beyond the ability of the Company to control or predict.
