When asked to comment on the results, VitalHub CEO Dan Matlow said,
“As the world has continued to combat and adapt to the COVID-19 pandemic, 2020 was a transformative year for VitalHub in many respects. The Company doubled its size year over year while significantly increasing its software recurring revenues as a percentage of total revenues, to levels that represent a true SaaS company. Our two UK acquisitions of Intouch with Health Ltd. and Transforming Systems Ltd. have significantly increased our ability to grow organically, as demonstrated by our strong Q3 and Q4 organic growth numbers. The Company is continuing to produce strong positive adjusted EBITDA. Going into 2021 with significant cash on hand, we will continue to be active in the M&A markets.”
The Company will be holding a conference call via Zoom on March 30th, 2021 at 9:00am EST hosted by CEO Dan Matlow and CFO Brian Goffenberg with a Q&A session to follow. To register for the conference call please visit: VitalHub Q4 2020 Conference Call.
