Filing Explained

Updated 2026 guidance is mixed: revenue and adjusted EBITDA ranges rose, while the net-income range fell; second-quarter revenue included a $2.0 million accounting catch-up.

The Form 8-K reports completed second-quarter results and a revised 2026 outlook; the current change is mixed guidance: higher revenue and adjusted EBITDA ranges but a lower net-income range.

Although the company described second-quarter revenue of $83.7 million as a record, it disclosed that the year-over-year increase included $3.1 million from fourth-quarter 2025 acquisitions and a $2.0 million cumulative catch-up for previously constrained variable consideration under ASC 606.

The outlook assumes general economic conditions do not deteriorate and excludes the impact of future acquisitions or dispositions; those assumptions are the specific items that could change how the revised ranges are assessed.

adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA was $20.6 million for the second quarter of 2026"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
variable consideration financial
"resolution of previously constrained estimates of variable consideration under a customer contract"
share repurchase program financial
"a new share repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors"
A share repurchase program is when a company buys back its own shares from the marketplace. This reduces the total number of shares available, which can increase the value of each remaining share and signal confidence in the company's prospects. For investors, it often suggests that the company believes its stock is undervalued or that it has extra cash to return to shareholders.
Rule 10b5-1 plans regulatory
"authorized to make repurchases in the open market, including under Rule 10b5-1 plans"
A Rule 10b5-1 plan is a prearranged schedule that lets company insiders buy or sell stock at set times or prices, set up when they do not possess confidential information. It acts like an automatic thermostat for trades, reducing the risk that otherwise-timed transactions could be accused of insider trading. Investors care because such plans increase transparency about insider activity and signal when insider trades are routine rather than reactive to private news.
deferred revenue financial
"Deferred revenue was $92,983 current and $1,452 noncurrent at June 30, 2026"
Cash a company has already received for goods or services it has promised but not yet delivered; it's recorded as a liability because the company still owes that product, service, or future revenue recognition. For investors, deferred revenue signals upcoming work or deliveries that will convert into reported sales over time and affects short-term obligations, cash flow quality, and how quickly a firm can grow recognized revenue—think of it like prepaid subscriptions or gift cards a business must honor later.

HEALTHSTREAM ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2026 RESULTS

 

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (August 3, 2026)—HealthStream, Inc. (the "Company") (Nasdaq: HSTM), a leading healthcare technology platform company for clinical workforce solutions, today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

 

Second Quarter 2026

 

Revenues of $83.7 million, up 12.5% from $74.4 million in the second quarter of 2025, setting a new Company record for quarterly revenue

 

Operating income of $8.3 million, up 41.4% from $5.9 million in the second quarter of 2025

 

Net income of $6.7 million, up 23.8% from $5.4 million in the second quarter of 2025

 

Earnings per share (EPS) of $0.23 per share (diluted), up from $0.18 per share (diluted) in the second quarter of 2025

 

Adjusted EBITDA1 of $20.6 million, up 16.9% from $17.6 million in the second quarter of 2025

 

Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.035 per share, payable on August 28, 2026 to holders of record on August 17, 2026

 

Financial Results:

Second Quarter 2026 Compared to Second Quarter 2025

Revenues for the second quarter of 2026 increased by $9.3 million, or 12.5%, to $83.7 million, compared to $74.4 million for the second quarter of 2025. Subscription revenues increased by $8.0 million, or 11.2%, and professional services revenues increased by $1.3 million compared to the second quarter of 2025. Compared to the second quarter of 2025, revenue growth for the second quarter of 2026 was positively impacted by $3.1 million from our acquisitions of Virsys12 and MissionCare Collective completed during the fourth quarter of 2025 and $6.2 million from growth across our existing portfolio of solutions, of which $2.0 million related to the resolution of previously constrained estimates of variable consideration under a customer contract, which was recognized as a cumulative catch-up in accordance with ASC 606 during the second quarter of 2026.

 

Operating income was $8.3 million for the second quarter of 2026, up 41.4% from $5.9 million in the second quarter of 2025. The improvement in operating income was primarily attributable to increased revenues and income associated with our sublease that commenced during the second quarter of 2025. These improvements were partially offset by higher expenses in the second quarter of 2026 including increased personnel costs, third-party software expenses, sales commissions, marketing, cloud hosting, royalties, and amortization expense from our fourth quarter 2025 acquisitions. 

 

Net income was $6.7 million in the second quarter of 2026, up 23.8% from $5.4 million in the second quarter of 2025, and EPS was $0.23 per share (diluted) in the second quarter of 2026, up from $0.18 per share (diluted) in the second quarter of 2025

 


1 Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income and disclosure regarding why we believe adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors is included later in this release.

Adjusted EBITDA was $20.6 million for the second quarter of 2026, up 16.9% from $17.6 million in the second quarter of 2025.

 

At June 30, 2026, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $66.7 million. The Company does not have any outstanding indebtedness from borrowed money. Capital expenditures incurred during the second quarter of 2026 were $8.5 million. 

 

Year-to-Date 2026 Compared to Year-to-Date 2025

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, revenues were $164.9 million, an increase of 11.5% over revenues of $147.9 million for the first six months of 2025. Operating income for the first six months of 2026 increased by 54.2% to $15.8 million, compared to $10.3 million for the first six months of 2025. The increase in operating income was primarily attributable to higher revenues and income associated with our sublease that commenced during the second quarter of 2025, partially offset by higher expenses to support investments in several areas of the business, primarily in our platform and enterprise applications, resulting in higher labor costs, third-party software, royalties expense, cloud hosting, along with higher commissions expense. Net income for the first six months of 2026 increased to $12.6 million, compared to $9.7 million for the first six months of 2025. Earnings per share were $0.43 per share (diluted) for the first six months of 2026, compared to $0.32 per share (diluted) for the first six months of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA increased by 20.4% to $40.7 million for the first six months of 2026, compared to $33.8 million for the first six months of 2025.

In the aggregate during the first six months of 2026, the Company repurchased 432,476 shares of common stock under the share repurchase programs described above on a collective basis at an aggregate fair value of $9.3 million, reflecting an average purchase of $21.50 per share (excluding the cost of broker commissions and the 1% share repurchase excise tax imposed by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022).

Robert A. Frist, Jr., Chief Executive Officer, HealthStream, said, "In the second quarter of 2026, HealthStream delivered record revenue of $83.7 million, up 12.5%, and adjusted EBITDA of $20.6 million, up 16.9%, compared to the second quarter of 2025. This performance gives us the flexibility to continue investing in our hStream platform and products that we believe will drive durable, long-term growth as we build an even stronger ecosystem for the healthcare organizations and professionals we serve."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release presents adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure used by management in analyzing the Company’s financial results and ongoing operational performance. In order to better assess the Company’s financial results, management believes that net income before interest, income taxes, stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, impairments of long-lived assets, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, and changes in fair value of, including gains (losses) on the sale of, non-marketable equity investments (“adjusted EBITDA”) is a useful measure for evaluating the operating performance of the Company because adjusted EBITDA reflects net income adjusted for certain GAAP accounting, non-cash, and/or non-operating items which may not, in any such case, fully reflect the underlying operating performance of our business. We believe that adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors to assess the Company’s ongoing operating performance and to compare the Company’s operating performance between periods. In addition, certain short-term cash incentive bonuses and performance-based equity awards are based on the achievement of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in applicable bonus and equity grant documentation) targets.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Because adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP, adjusted EBITDA is susceptible to varying calculations. Accordingly, adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and has limitations as an analytical tool.

 

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance, which are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA to net income (the most comparable GAAP measure), which is set forth below in this release.
