President and CEO Commentary
Joseph H. Capper, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioTelemetry, Inc., commented: “The first quarter was another great quarter with record revenue and a strong adjusted EBITDA margin, both of which were in line with our expectations. Demand for our services remained strong with MCT and extended Holter services driving patient volume growth as well as a 9% increase in Healthcare revenue. Additionally, our Research division posted double-digit revenue growth while our digital population health business benefitted from the launch of a significant new managed care partnership.
“During the quarter, we completed the acquisition of Geneva Healthcare, extending our remote cardiac monitoring reach into the $1 billion implantable cardiac monitoring market. We believe this transaction further reinforces our growth strategy and provides significant revenue upside for the company. Our excitement about Geneva continues to grow based on its early performance and the tremendous interest being generated from our top customers. We expect the combination of the benefits from the Geneva platform and our unmatched portfolio of remote cardiac monitoring services to further solidify our leadership position in cardiac monitoring.
“BioTelemetry is in the best position ever to address the needs of our patients and practices. Looking forward, we expect the addition of Geneva and our ongoing investments in our sales and technology areas to make 2019 another record year for the Company. As a result, we are raising our full year 2019 revenue guidance to be in the range of $446 to $450 million.”

- In the first quarter 2019, other charges of $3.1 million were due primarily to $1.4 million of deal-related costs for the acquisition of Geneva Healthcare, $1.0 million of patent litigation and other legal costs and $0.5 million of expense related to prior acquisitions and other restructuring activities. In the first quarter 2018, the Company incurred $5.1 million of other charges with $3.2 million related to the consolidation and closure of certain legacy LifeWatch international locations, $1.8 million of professional, legal and other costs related to the integration of LifeWatch, $0.4 million for patent litigation, $0.2 million related to other restructuring activities and $0.2 million related to the implementation of the new revenue recognition standard. These charges were partially offset by a $0.7 million reduction in contingent consideration related to the Telcare acquisition.
- In the first quarter 2019 and the first quarter 2018, we recognized $3.3 million and $3.2 million of expense, respectively, related to the amortization of intangibles as a result of the LifeWatch acquisition. We have excluded the LifeWatch amortization of intangibles from adjusted net income due to the non-operational nature of the expense. This amortization was recorded as a component of general and administrative expense.
- Represents the tax effect of the non-GAAP adjustments at the Company’s effective tax rate.
- For GAAP reporting purposes, we reported a tax benefit of 21.6% for the first quarter 2019 and a tax benefit of 2.9% for the first quarter 2018. After giving effect to taxes at the estimated annual effective tax rate on the adjustments, in the first quarter 2019, the Company is excluding a $1.6 million benefit from discrete items due primarily to the impact of tax deductions from stock-based compensation. For the first quarter 2018, the Company had a $1.8 million positive impact from the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards.
