Augmedix Delivers 47% Revenue Growth and Expanded Gross Margins for Second Quarter of 2023

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Augmedix (Nasdaq: AUGX), a healthcare technology company that delivers industry-leading ambient medical documentation and data solutions to healthcare systems, physician practices, hospitals, and telemedicine practitioners, today reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

“This was another strong quarter for Augmedix, as we continue to solidify our position within the burgeoning ambient medical documentation market,” commented Manny Krakaris, Chief Executive Officer at Augmedix. “We set records for revenue, growing 47% year-over-year, and dollar-based net revenue retention at 148%, demonstrating that health systems and clinicians increasingly value and are adopting our products. We also expanded gross margins by 330 basis points to 47.0% as we realize the inherent leverage of our recurring revenue model with our increasing scale of operations.”

Continued Mr. Krakaris, “Augmedix’s products are resonating with clinicians due to their ability to generate accurate medical notes while providing high levels of transparency and control. Our customers also value the breadth of our product portfolio and their ability to toggle across our product lineup to best match the particular needs of a given patient encounter. We are seeing growing adoption of Augmedix Notes among our largest customers, and high interest for Augmedix Go, which is currently being tested with multiple customers in the ambulatory setting and with HCA Healthcare in the acute care setting, and is on track to be launched commercially later this year.”

Concluded Mr. Krakaris, “Looking ahead, with the structured data that we capture at the point of care, Augmedix is in a unique position to offer even greater value to the healthcare ecosystem that transcends the patient encounter. We are moving swiftly to deliver innovative data solutions that will help remove systemic inefficiencies in healthcare billing and reimbursement. We are excited about the future of Augmedix as a platform that will appeal to several constituents within the industry.”

Definition of Key Metrics

Dollar-Based Net Revenue Retention: We define a "Health Enterprise" as a company or network of doctors that has at least 50 clinicians currently employed or affiliated that could utilize our services. Dollar-based net revenue retention is determined as the revenue from Health Enterprises as of twelve months prior to such period end as compared to revenue from these same Health Enterprises as of the current period end, or current period revenue. Current period revenue includes any expansion or new products and is net of contraction or churn over the trailing twelve months but excludes revenue from new Health Enterprises in the current period. We believe growth in dollar-based net revenue retention is a key indicator of the performance of our business as it demonstrates our ability to increase revenue across our existing customer base through expansion of users and products, as well as our ability to retain existing customers.

Clinicians in Service: We define a clinician in service as an individual doctor, nurse practitioner or other healthcare professional using our services. We average the month-end number of clinicians in service for all months in the measurement period and the number of clinicians in service at the end of the month immediately preceding the measurement period. We believe growth in the number of clinicians in service is an indicator of the performance of our business as it demonstrates our ability to penetrate the market and grow our business.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: Non-GAAP gross profit, Non-GAAP gross margin, Non-GAAP Operating Expenses, EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our recurring core business operating results. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to our historical performance and liquidity as well as comparisons to our competitors' operating results. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors both because (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and (2) they are used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the health of our business.

There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures and evaluating these non-GAAP financial measures together with their relevant financial measures in accordance with GAAP.
