The healthcare payments software company swung to GAAP net income of $32.18 million from a loss of $27.68 million a year ago, a shift driven largely by sharply lower stock-based compensation and meaningful reductions in interest expense following debt paydown that brought net leverage to 2.2x from 3.7x a year earlier. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 41.6% from 40.0%, reflecting the operating leverage the company has been building as subscription revenue grew 17% and volume-based revenue rose 14%. A net revenue retention rate of 115% and a 14% increase in clients generating over $100,000 annually underscored the stickiness of the platform. Management raised full-year 2025 revenue guidance to between $1.03 billion and $1.04 billion, and the pending $1.25 billion acquisition of clinical AI firm Iodine Software signals an intent to push deeper into AI-powered healthcare workflows.
