CINCINNATI, Sept. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Streamline Health Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: STRM) today announced financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, ended July 31, 2010.

Highlights for the quarter included:

• Revenue for the quarter increased 15% over prior year comparable quarter;
• System Sales up 118% compared to last year's second quarter;
• Adjusted EBITDA* for the quarter was up 31% to $999,000 from $760,000 in Q2 of 2009; Net loss for the quarter was $76,000, or $0.01 per share, versus a net loss of $18,000, or $0.00 per share in Q2 of 2009;
• Awarded purchase contracts for two new accessANYware(TM) enterprise licenses and three new departmental workflows with total contract values of over $1.5 million; of which $680,000 of systems revenue was recognized during the quarter;
• Application hosting recurring revenues increased 7% and 14% respectively, over the prior three and six month periods;
• New bookings for the quarter, excluding maintenance revenue, increased 71% to $2.0 million sequentially compared to $1.2 million in the previous quarter ended April 30, 2010.

Revenues for the quarter totaled $4.7 million, compared to $4.0 million in the prior year second quarter, an increase of 15%. The increase in revenues is primarily attributed to higher license systems sales and increased recurring revenues recognized from application hosting and maintenance contracts. System sales for the quarter increased 118% versus the comparable prior year quarter to $961,000, primarily from contracts sold during the second quarter. Recurring revenues from application-hosted contracts were up 7% for the quarter, or $56,000, due to the growth in hosted customers and the implementation and activation of their software solutions. Recurring maintenance revenue for the quarter increased $54,000 or 3% over the prior comparable quarter. The results for the quarter were impacted by a $25,000 decrease in professional services revenues and a $62,000 decrease in hardware and third-party software sales from the prior comparable quarter.

The Company incurred a net loss of $76,000, or $0.01 per fully diluted share, for the quarter ended July 31, 2010, compared to a net loss of $18,000, or $0.00 per fully diluted share, in the prior year quarter. Increases in proprietary software sales and recurring application hosting revenues were offset by increased investment in customer initiatives, hosting operations, compensation expenses including bonus re-instatement, amortization of equity awards, and increased expense relating to amortization of capitalized software development costs. All of these contributed to the loss for the current three and six month periods.

New bookings for the quarter, excluding maintenance services, were in excess of $2.0 million. These new bookings included a new enterprise license contract signed with Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center, a large add-on enterprise license sale signed with Nassau University Medical Center, and three Business Process Management (BPM) departmental workflow solutions sold to an existing customer. Backlog at July 31, 2010 was $18.9 million, compared with $18.6 million at April 30, 2010 and $23.4 million at July 31, 2009. The increase in the sequential backlog since April 30, 2010 was primarily the result of increased maintenance commitments during the most recent quarter and professional services from the new contracts added during the quarter. The primary decrease in backlog from last July was the recognition of revenues - approximately $1.7 million - for the delivery of accessANYware 5.0 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. Current backlog was also reduced by the recognition of revenue for application-hosted and maintenance contracts that were in the prior backlog totals.

Adjusted EBITDA* (a non-GAAP measure) for the quarter ended July 31, 2010 was $999,000, or $0.10 per fully diluted common share (adjusted), compared to adjusted EBITDA earnings of $760,000 or $0.08 per fully diluted common share (adjusted) in the comparable prior quarter.

J. Brian Patsy, chief executive officer of Streamline Health, commented, "We are pleased to have closed contracts covering five new software license sales during the quarter - two enterprise accessANYware sales and three departmental workflow sales. Our enterprise accessANYware sale to Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center was through our largest remarketing partner, GE Healthcare, and the remainder were sold through our direct sales force. Of the five new license solutions sold with total contract values of over $1.5 million, $680,000 has been recognized in the quarter we are reporting on today as systems revenue, and the remaining $832,000 went into our professional services and third party component backlog and will be recognized upon implementation at the respective medical institutions. As we continue to gain traction in our hosted recurring revenue model, traditional license sales will provide a significant impact to our quarterly results. This is the strategic revenue generating combination that we are working to implement at Streamline Health. We believe that offering our existing and future hospital clients maximum flexibility in choosing payment options for the software solutions that drive operating efficiencies will be an important attribute that will give Streamline Health an edge in competitive bidding situations going forward."

"During the quarter we were also successful in providing two existing clients with several of our Business Process Management workflow solutions, one on an enterprise level to Nassau University Medical Center and the other on a departmental level, composed of three new workflow solutions to an existing customer. We believe that our new workflow solutions represent a significant business opportunity in the coming quarters and years. Workflow solutions sales can be made on the departmental level and in many cases do not require executive suite approval. This streamlined approval process results in accelerated implementation schedules and operating efficiencies at our hospital customers, and accelerated revenue recognition for Streamline Health. This is a win/win for all parties involved."

Effective September 2, 2010, Gary Winzenread, the Company's senior vice president of product development and implementation services has been appointed chief operating officer of Streamline Health Solutions, Inc. Mr. Winzenread will focus on managing day-to-day operations and improving the Company's overall operational efficiencies. This appointment will permit Mr. Patsy to increase his focus on leading the sales and marketing organization, pursuing partnerships and strategic business opportunities and driving product strategy to further strengthen the Company's position in the marketplace.

Mr. Patsy, commenting on the appointment said, "Gary has made a tremendous contribution to Streamline Health over the past three years. Through his leadership the company developed and delivered its advanced fifth generation architecture, accessANYware 5.0, on time and on budget. Gary also implemented key programs to improve the effectiveness of our services organization. In order to position the Company for future growth, Gary will continue to manage development and support services, and will assume the additional responsibility for managing hosting and internal information technology services as well." Mr. Patsy continued, "By consolidating all support and technical services under one organization, we will more efficiently deliver quality solutions to the healthcare marketplace. Gary has a thorough understanding of our business and his strong leadership will ensure that our operations are efficient and effective as we expand our solution portfolio and market reach."

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(Unaudited)

Table C

This press release contains a non-GAAP financial measure under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for adjusted EBITDA. This non-GAAP information supplements and is not intended to represent a measure of performance in accordance with disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. Non-GAAP financial measures are used internally to manage the business, such as in establishing an annual operating budget. Non-GAAP financial measures are used by Streamline Health's management in its operating and financial decision-making because management believes these measures reflect ongoing business in a manner that allows meaningful period-to-period comparisons. Accordingly, the Company believes it is useful for investors and others to review both GAAP and non-GAAP measures in order to (a) understand and evaluate current operating performance and future prospects in the same manner as management does and (b) compare in a consistent manner the company's current financial results with past financial results. The primary limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures are that these measures may not be directly comparable to the amounts reported by other companies and they do not include all items of income and expense that affect operations. The Company's management compensates for these limitations by considering the company's financial results and outlook as determined in accordance with GAAP and by providing a detailed reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the tables attached to this press release.
