Health Revenue Assurance Holdings, Inc. Reports Financial Results for the Third Quarter And First Nine Months Of 2013


Plantation, FL, Nov. 14, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Health Revenue Assurance Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: HRAA), the leading provider of revenue integrity solutions for healthcare organizations, announced its financial results for the third quarter and first nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Third Quarter and First Nine Months of 2013 Highlights:

  • Total revenues for the first nine months of 2013 were $6,075,437, an increase of 67.9% as compared to $3,619,611 for the prior year's first nine months; HRAA was selected to provide an ICD-10 Curriculum to and manage an Internship program for the Latter-Day Saints Business College Medical Coding Certificate Program;
  • HRAA's ICDVisualizerTM Business Intelligence Solution was selected by Otsego Memorial Hospital to support ICD-10 transition;
  • HRAA was chosen to perform ICD-10 Transition Services for Kirby Medical Center;
  • Company was selected to provide ICD-10 Educational Services to Marshall Browning Hospital;
  • Chairman and CEO Andrea Clark named one of top 10 CEOs in Broward County by South Florida Business Journal's 2013 Broward Ultimate CEO Awards.

Andrea Clark, HRAA's Chairman, CEO and Founder stated, "We continue to see great demand for our coding and education services as well as our technology platforms by health care organizations that include Otsego Memorial Hospital, Kirby Medical Center and Marshall Browning Hospital. Educational institutions are seeking out our services to help revamp their coding curriculum, as coders will need to be fully prepared to work under ICD-10 in less than a year. Also, we recently received a strategic investment of $5.4 million from Great Point Partners that will help us to fuel the expansion of our Medical Coding and ICD-10 Transition Solutions. Great Point's recent capital infusion is validation of our business model and product suite and we look forward to utilizing their vast knowledge, experience and deep industry relationships."  

Ms. Clark added, "These customer wins, partnerships and the strategic investment from Great Point Partners further validate the revenue potential of our best-of-breed solutions as we continue to execute on our growth strategy while driving shareholder value. As a leader in ICD-10 transition services, we continue to set the bar in training, coding and technology while identifying major factors that will impact healthcare organizations during this shift."

Commenting on the financial results, CEO Andrea Clark, stated, "On a GAAP basis, our net loss for the quarter widened substantially due to a number of non-cash charges including a one-time, non-cash charge of almost $1 million related to R&D and significantly higher operating expenses. The increase in operating expenses during the quarter was in-line with our internal expectations as we made planned investments in the build-up of staff to meet the growing demand for our coding services as well as the development and market launch of our suite of business technology solutions. During the quarter, we converted a substantial amount of outstanding notes to equity, reducing our debt by $402,000. By extinguishing this debt, we strengthened our balance sheet and reduced our debt service obligations going forward. With much of our planned investments having been deployed during the first nine months of the year, and this large one-time non-cash charge behind us, we expect our bottom line to show a marked and steady improvement going into the current fourth quarter and into 2014."

Third Quarter 2013 Financial Results

For the third quarter of 2013, total revenues were $1,851,377, a decrease of $134,139 or 6.7%, from revenues of $1,985,516 for the third quarter of 2012.  The decrease in revenues was primarily due to customer fiscal budget restraints for education services as management focused its resources on the development and market launch of HRAA's business intelligence Visualizer software products.

Adjusted EBITDA loss was $(868,951) for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 compared to adjusted EBITDA of $161,812 for the same quarter in 2012.

Operating expenses were $2,865,142 for the third quarter of 2013, increasing 164% from operating expenses of $1,084,803 for the prior year's third quarter, primarily due to the addition of extra staff and infrastructure to support the build-up of the Company's anticipated rapid growth throughout its business.

The net loss in the third quarter of 2013 includes an interest expense of $357,127 primarily due to the amortization of debt financing fees, a write off unamortized debt discount fees related to a conversion of promissory notes to common stock and interest on debt obligations.   In addition, the Company incurred a one-time non-cash charge to operating expenses of $946,931 related to the impairment of research and development costs previously capitalized.
