SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Health Catalyst, Inc. ("Health Catalyst," HCAT), a leading provider of data and analytics technology and services to healthcare organizations, today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

“For the second quarter of 2023, we are encouraged by our financial results, including total revenue of $73.2 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $3.5 million, with these results beating the mid-point of our quarterly guidance on each metric. Additionally, given that we are tracking slightly ahead of our previous full year revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance, we are raising our 2023 revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance. We are pleased with our strong first half bookings performance and continued pipeline growth. As a result, we are reiterating our full year 2023 bookings expectations, inclusive of dollar-based retention rate and net new DOS subscription client additions. We are also encouraged to have received multiple additional external recognitions related to our team member engagement once again this quarter,” said Dan Burton, CEO of Health Catalyst.

(1) These measures are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). See the accompanying "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section below for more information about these financial measures, including the limitations of such measures, and for a reconciliation of each measure to the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Financial Outlook

Health Catalyst provides forward-looking guidance on total revenue, a GAAP measure, and Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure.

For the third quarter of 2023, we expect:

  • Total revenue between $70.2 million and $74.2 million, and
  • Adjusted EBITDA between $0.0 million and $2.5 million

For the full year of 2023, we expect:

  • Total revenue between $290.5 million and $295.5 million, and
  • Adjusted EBITDA between $10.0 million and $12.0 million

We have not reconciled guidance for Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and have not provided forward-looking guidance for net loss, because there are items that may impact net loss, including stock-based compensation, that are not within our control or cannot be reasonably forecasted.
