SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Augmedix, Inc. (Nasdaq: AUGX), a healthcare technology company that delivers industry-leading ambient medical documentation and data solutions, today announced preliminary revenue results and operational metrics for the fourth quarter of 2023.
“Augmedix’s expected fourth quarter revenue of approximately $12.5 million puts us on pace to deliver a solid finish to a strong year,” stated Augmedix CEO Manny Krakaris. “We enter 2024 with approximately $51 million in expected Annual Recurring Revenue, driven by strong adoption of Augmedix Live and Augmedix Notes by our health system customers. With Augmedix Go now generally available in the ambulatory setting, and the resources to accelerate our growth plans, we are well positioned for another successful year in 2024.”
Mr. Krakaris added, “Augmedix is committed to playing an essential role in unburdening clinicians and improving the operating efficiency of healthcare organizations. We have assembled the industry’s broadest portfolio of documentation solutions, tailored to a range of healthcare settings, from primary care physician visits to emergency medicine to mental health sessions. Our ability to provide the right technology, with the appropriate level of human intervention and machine learning, gives us a durable competitive advantage within this rapidly evolving industry. This advantage is reflected in our robust growth and the partnerships we have forged with industry leaders. Our partners, customers and the health systems we serve see the same value from our structured data and bi-directional communication channel that can effectuate change at the point of care.”
The below preliminary data is as of December 31, 2023, unless otherwise noted.
- Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) of approximately $51 million, compared to $35 million at the end of 2022, an increase of 46%.
- 1,830 clinicians in service, up 41% year-over-year.
- Revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023 is expected to be approximately $12.5 million, exceeding guidance of $12.3 million, and resulting in full-year 2023 revenue of approximately $44.7 million.
- The Company went “live” with Augmedix Go for the ambulatory setting in mid-December.
Augmedix expects to report financial results for the fourth quarter of 2023 and to conduct an earnings conference call in March.
Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) is defined as clinicians in service as of a certain date excluding those on unpaid hold without a specified return date and those that have given notice to terminate service. We use each clinician’s current subscription tier and price to estimate a full month of revenue. That monthly revenue is then multiplied by twelve to calculate annual recurring revenue.
Clinicians in Service (CIS) is defined as an individual doctor, nurse practitioner, or other healthcare professional using our services. 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.
