When asked to comment on the results of Q2 2018, VitalHub CEO Dan Matlow said, “We are continuing to make progress on the integration of our acquired companies and are starting to realize the synergistic values we anticipated, as shown in the second straight quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA. It is important to note that Q2 does not have a large impact of one?time perpetual licenses as compared to Q1. While we expect to make intermittent perpetual one?time license transactions, we are primarily focused on increasing our Annual Recurring Revenue numbers, which increased by over 7% this quarter. We continue to grow our pipeline with meaningful new sales opportunities and further M&A opportunities.”
