CareCloud Reports Q1 2026 Results

Reaffirms Guidance Following Capital Structure Simplification; Revenue Grows 13% Year-Over-Year

SOMERSET, N.J., May 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CareCloud, Inc. (Nasdaq: CCLD, CCLDO) (“CareCloud” or the “Company”), a leader in AI-powered healthcare technology and revenue cycle management solutions for medical practices and health systems nationwide, today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The Company reaffirmed its previously issued financial guidance following the successful closing of a $50 million credit facility, the announced redemption of 100% of its Series B Preferred Stock, and AI product launches. Together, these milestones mark a pivotal step in CareCloud’s ongoing growth trajectory—positioning the Company to scale its AI-driven revenue and expand margins, reporting its eighth consecutive quarter of positive GAAP net income with a meaningfully simpler capital structure for the future.

First Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights:

Revenue of $31.3 million, compared to $27.6 million in Q1 2025

GAAP net income of $922,000, compared to a net income of $1.9 million in Q1 2025

Adjusted EBITDA of $5.4 million, compared to $5.6 million in Q1 2025

GAAP EPS of ($0.01), compared to ($0.04) per share in Q1 2025

Full Scheduled Redemption of Series B Preferred Stock: Redemption scheduled for May 15, 2026

Inpatient Software Market Entry: Expanded product portfolio includes inpatient EHR, RCM and analytics. #1 Black Book ranked EDIS platform— significantly broadening the total addressable market

AI Center of Excellence Live: Launched stratusAI Desk Agent (~75% of inbound calls automated) and stratusAI Voice Audit

“Q1 2026 marks the start of an exciting new chapter for CareCloud. We delivered 13% year-over-year revenue growth, expanded our AI offering and our addressable market into the inpatient segment, and took decisive action to simplify our capital structure with the announced full redemption of our Series B Preferred Stock and the closing of a new $50 million credit facility. With the Medsphere integration substantially complete, a stronger balance sheet, and our 2026 guidance reaffirmed, we believe CareCloud is uniquely positioned to translate this momentum into accelerating, durable shareholder value through the balance of 2026 and beyond.”

— Stephen Snyder, Chief Executive Officer, CareCloud

“This was the quarter our AI strategy moved from promise to performance. stratusAI Desk Agent is now resolving approximately 75% of inbound patient calls autonomously, stratusAI Voice Audit is surfacing revenue and compliance opportunities in real time, and our newly launched AI Center of Excellence is shipping new agentic capabilities at an accelerating pace. By layering these AI services on top of our expanded ambulatory and inpatient platform—including our #1 Black Book–ranked EDIS—we are building a differentiated, full-stack healthcare technology offering that scales with every customer we serve and creates a durable, technology-led competitive advantage.”

— A. Hadi Chaudhry, Chief Strategy Officer, CareCloud

“We are reaffirming our 2026 guidance based on our confidence for the year. The integration of our Medsphere acquisition impacted our earnings as anticipated this quarter and is now substantially complete, positioning us to deliver improving margins through the balance of 2026. We look forward to redeeming all of our Series B Preferred Stock for cash on May 15.”

— Norman Roth, Interim Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Controller, CareCloud

CareCloud entered 2026 with significant operating momentum and is reaffirming its guidance for calendar year 2026.

For the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2026

GAAP Net Income Per Share (EPS)

Revenue guidance is based on management’s expectations for contributions from existing clients, together with cross-selling and other organic and inorganic growth. EPS guidance of $0.20–$0.23 represents a 100-130% increase from the $0.10 achieved in full year 2025. Adjusted EBITDA guidance is $29–$31 million compared to the 2025 amount of $27.5 million.

As anticipated, Q1 2026 GAAP net income reflects a temporary, near-term impact from elevated amortization of acquired intangible assets and one-time integration costs tied to the Medsphere acquisition (which closed August 2025) and our other 2025 acquisitions. Q1 2026 adjusted EBITDA was depressed due to transition costs from Medsphere which have largely been eliminated by the end of Q1, so they will have a decreasing impact in future quarters. These items are non-recurring and integration-related, are expected to subside as the integrations are completed, and are not indicative of the underlying earnings power of the business. Management expects margin expansion to resume as we move through 2026, consistent with the full-year guidance reaffirmed above.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES TO COMPARABLE GAAP MEASURES (UNAUDITED)

The following is a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used by us to describe our financial results determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading “Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the underlying performance of our business operations, investors are reminded to consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, it should be noted that these non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies, and management may utilize other measures to illustrate performance in the future. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. However, management believes that, in order to properly understand our short-term and long-term financial and operational trends, investors may wish to consider the impact of certain non-cash or non-recurring items, when used as a supplement to financial performance measures in accordance with GAAP. These items result from facts and circumstances that vary in frequency and impact on continuing operations. Management also uses results of operations before such items to evaluate the operating performance of CareCloud and compare it against past periods, make operating decisions and serve as a basis for strategic planning. These non-GAAP financial measures provide management with additional means to understand and evaluate the operating results and trends in our ongoing business by eliminating certain non-cash expenses and other items that management believes might otherwise make comparisons of our ongoing business with prior periods more difficult, obscure trends in ongoing operations, or reduce management’s ability to make useful forecasts. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional means of evaluating period-over-period operating performance. In addition, management understands that some investors and financial analysts find this information helpful in analyzing our financial and operational performance and comparing this performance to our peers and competitors.

Management uses adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, and non-GAAP adjusted net income to provide an understanding of aspects of operating results before the impact of investing and financing charges and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA may be useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance and liquidity because this measure excludes non-cash expenses as well as expenses pertaining to investing or financing transactions. Management defines “adjusted EBITDA” as the sum of GAAP net income (loss) before provision for (benefit from) income taxes, net interest expense, other (income) expense, stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, integration costs, transaction costs, impairment charges and changes in contingent consideration.

Management defines “non-GAAP adjusted operating income” as the sum of GAAP operating income (loss) before stock-based compensation expense, amortization of purchased intangible assets, integration costs, transaction costs, impairment charges and changes in contingent consideration, and “non-GAAP adjusted operating margin” as non-GAAP adjusted operating income divided by net revenue.

Management defines “non-GAAP adjusted net income” as the sum of GAAP net income (loss) before stock-based compensation expense, amortization of purchased intangible assets, other (income) expense, integration costs, transaction costs, impairment charges, changes in contingent consideration, any tax impact related to these preceding items and income tax expense related to goodwill, and “non-GAAP adjusted net income per share” as non-GAAP adjusted net income divided by common shares outstanding at the end of the period, including the shares which were issued but are subject to forfeiture and considered contingent consideration.

Management considers all of these non-GAAP financial measures to be important indicators of our operational strength and performance of our business and a good measure of our historical operating trends, in particular the extent to which ongoing operations impact our overall financial performance.

In addition to items routinely excluded from non-GAAP EBITDA, management excludes or adjusts each of the items identified below from the applicable non-GAAP financial measure referenced above for the reasons set forth with respect to that excluded item:

Foreign exchange loss/other expense. Other expense is excluded because foreign currency gains and losses and other non-operating expenses are expenditures that management does not consider part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of our business, and also because the total amount of the expense is partially outside of our control. Foreign currency gains and losses are based on global market factors which are unrelated to our performance during the period in which the gains and losses are recorded.

Stock-based compensation expense. Stock-based compensation expense is excluded because this is primarily a non-cash expenditure that management does not consider part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of our business, and also because the total amount of the expenditure is partially outside of our control because it is based on factors such as stock price, volatility, and interest rates, which may be unrelated to our performance during the period in which the expenses are incurred. Stock-based compensation expense includes cash-settled awards based on changes in the stock price.

Amortization of purchased intangible assets. Purchased intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives and generally cannot be changed or influenced by management after the acquisition. Accordingly, this item is not considered by management in making operating decisions. Management does not believe such charges accurately reflect the performance of our ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are recorded.

Contingent consideration. Contingent consideration represents the portion of consideration payable to the seller of some of our acquisitions, the amount of which is based on the achievement defined performance measures contained in the purchase agreements. Contingent consideration is adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period. Management does not believe such charges accurately reflect the performance of our ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are incurred.

Transaction costs. Transaction costs are upfront costs related to acquisitions and related transactions, such as brokerage fees, pre-acquisition accounting costs and legal fees, and other upfront costs related to specific transactions. Management believes that such expenses do not have a direct correlation to future business operations, and therefore, these costs are not considered by management in making operating decisions. Management does not believe such charges accurately reflect the performance of our ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are incurred.

Integration costs. Integration costs are severance payments for certain employees relating to our acquisitions and exit costs related to terminating leases and other contractual agreements. Accordingly, management believes that such expenses do not have a direct correlation to future business operations, and therefore, these costs are not considered by management in making operating decisions. Management does not believe such charges accurately reflect the performance of our ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are incurred.

Restructuring costs. Restructuring costs primarily consist of severance and separation costs associated with the optimization of the Company’s operations and profitability improvements. Management believes that such expenses do not have a direct correlation to future business operations, and therefore, these costs are not considered by management in making operating decisions. Management does not believe such charges accurately reflect the performance of our ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are incurred.

Free cash flow. Management believes that free cash flow, which measures our ability to generate additional cash from our business operations, is an important financial measure for use in evaluating the Company’s financial performance. Free cash flow should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, consolidated net operating results as a measure of our performance and net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Additionally, the Company’s definition of free cash flow is limited, in that it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures, due to the fact that the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other contractual obligations or payments made for business acquisitions. Therefore, we believe it is important to view free cash flow as a measure that provides supplemental information to our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
