TruBridge (NASDAQ:TBRG) Issues Earnings Results, Beats Expectations By $0.38 EPS

TruBridge (NASDAQ:TBRG) posted its quarterly earnings results on Tuesday. The company reported $0.79 earnings per share for the quarter, topping analysts’ consensus estimates of $0.41 by $0.38, FiscalAI reports. The business had revenue of $87.79 million for the quarter, compared to the consensus estimate of $87.60 million. TruBridge had a return on equity of 12.23% and a net margin of 0.85%.

Here are the key takeaways from TruBridge’s conference call:

• The company filed its 10‑K after identifying out‑of‑period, non‑cash adjustments (revenue timing, capitalized software, other items) during its first audit with a new external auditor; management says the adjustments are not material but the delay highlights prior reporting weaknesses and ongoing remediation.
• The board is conducting a formal strategic review to “maximize shareholder value” (no timeline); management expects modest revenue growth in 2026 and ~200 bps of Adjusted EBITDA margin improvement, supported by a targeted four‑pillar AI strategy to drive efficiency and product innovation.
• FY2025 results showed modest top‑line growth (total revenue $346.8M, +1.4% YoY) with stronger profitability—Adjusted EBITDA $68.7M (+23% YoY) and free cash flow $20M (+$5M); liquidity and leverage improved (cash $24.9M, net debt ≈$139.8M, net leverage ~2x) and the company secured an amended credit facility up to $250M through 2030.
• Commercial momentum strengthened—overall sales pipeline is the highest in nine quarters (up 53% since early Q3), with recurring deals >70% of pipeline, larger opportunities (>100 beds) rising to ~30% of pipeline, and Encoder pipeline growth of ~74%, suggesting improved revenue quality and upside to bookings.
• Operational execution remains a near‑term headwind as a global workforce transition caused CBO/RCM customer retention issues; management has implemented a structured transition model and opened a Global Capacity Center in Chennai, but expects consistent quarterly performance may be a quarter or two away and some 2025 attrition will carry into 2026.
