MOBILE, Ala.: TruBridge, Inc. (NASDAQ: TBRG), a healthcare solutions company, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.
First Quarter 2024 Highlights
All comparisons are to the quarter ended March 31, 2023, unless otherwise noted
- Bookings of $23.6 million compared to $19.8 million
- Total revenue of $83.2 million compared to $86.2 million
- Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) revenue of $53.0 million compared to $48.6 million
- RCM revenue represented 63.7% of TruBridge’s total revenue
- GAAP (loss) earnings per diluted share of $(0.17) compared to $0.21
- Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.19 compared to $0.58
- Adjusted EBITDA of $9.5 million compared to $14.6 million
Commenting on the results, Chris Fowler, chief executive officer of TruBridge, Inc., stated, “We continued to make significant progress on our transformation efforts during the first quarter, and we remained focused on the key areas that we believe will drive results. The refinement of our financial operations gives us enhanced capabilities in regard to accurate forecasting, an improved capital allocation strategy and identification of cost savings opportunities and provides us a more stable foundation from which to grow.”
“We were pleased with the continued momentum in bookings this quarter, which came in at $23 million and reflected wins in both our RCM and our EHR business, as well as the growth in our pipeline especially in the larger deals that we’ve started to move towards in the past few quarters. Our success in capturing these larger deals in our RCM business does bring an added layer of timing complexity from contracting to implementation. As a result, to reflect the variability in time to convert larger deals, we feel it’s prudent to slightly revise our full-year revenue range. The work we have done on expense management, however, has put us in a strong position in terms of our profitability, allowing us to maintain our previous adjusted EBITDA outlook this year.
“TruBridge operates in an area of the market with tremendous need, and our solutions address many of them. We remain confident we can continue to deliver for our customers and shareholders,” concluded Fowler.
Financial Guidance
For the second quarter of 2024, TruBridge expects to generate:
- Total revenue of $81 million to $83 million

For the full year 2024, TruBridge expects to generate:
