VitalHub Corp. Reports First Quarter 2023 Results
TORONTO, May 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VitalHub Corp. (the “Company” or “VitalHub”) (TSX:VHI) (OTCQX:VHIBF) announced today it has filed its Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis report for the three months ended March 31, 2023, with the Canadian securities authorities. These documents may be viewed under the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com.
“We began 2023 with record first-quarter revenue with continued robust positive year-over-year and sequential momentum,” said Dan Matlow, Chief Executive Officer of VitalHub. “Positive organic growth (17%) and accretive inorganic growth contributed to our 34% Q1 2023 revenue increase. Strong double-digit year-over-year growth in term licences, maintenance and support, and triple digit growth in services and hardware, more than offset the year-over-year decline in perpetual licenses. We announced the acquisition of Coyote Software Corporation, our sixteenth acquisition since 2017. ARR (1,2)benefited from positive organic and inorganic growth and benefited from a gain due to the increase in the value of the GBP pound relative to the CAD dollar from Q4 2022. ARR (1,2) increased 65% or $15.6 million to $39.6 million from Q1 2022. Adjusted EBITDA (2) was strong at $2.9 million, representing 23% of revenue. We closed the quarter with $17.2 million in cash on hand and, combined with the availability of a Bank of Nova Scotia Facility, we currently have $50.2 million at our disposal for operations and to continue progressing our acquisition strategy. As evidenced by recent announcements (relating to SHREWD, TREAT and College of Optometrists), we are penetrating deeper into core accounts and expanding horizontally into adjacent markets and look forward to continuing this momentum in 2023.”
VitalHub Corp’s quarterly investor conference call will take place on Friday, May 12, 2023, at 9:00AM EST.

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue for Q1 2023 was 80% as compared to 84% in Q1 2022 (Q4 2022 - 82%). The decrease in Q1 2023 was due to the unusual volume of high margin perpetual license sales of $2,767,253 in Q1 2022, as compared to $310,398 in Q1 2023.
ARR (1, 2) at the end of Q1 2023 was $39,634,517.
