CareCloud Reports Record Net Income and First Full-Year Positive EPS Since IPO, Exceeds Revenue Guidance and Issues 2026 Growth Outlook| Introduces AI Products CareCloud, Inc Thu, March 12, 2026 at 7:00 AM EDT 22 min read CCLD CCLDO CareCloud, Inc SOMERSET, N.J., March 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CareCloud, Inc. (Nasdaq: CCLD, CCLDO), a leader in healthcare technology and generative AI solutions, today announced financial results for the full year and quarter ended December 31, 2025. The Company exceeded its full-year revenue guidance, delivered its seventh consecutive quarter of positive GAAP net income, and achieved its first full-year positive GAAP EPS since its 2014 IPO — capping a transformative year of growth, profitability, entry into the inpatient software market, AI product launches, disciplined execution and cash flow generation. Financial Highlights Full Year Fourth Quarter FY 2025 FY 2024 Change Q4 2025 Q4 2024 Change Revenue $ 120.5M $ 110.8M +8.7% $ 34.4M $ 28.2M +21.9% GAAP Operating Income $ 11.3M $ 9.1M +24.4% $ 3.1M $ 3.5M -9.8% ¹ GAAP Net Income $ 10.8M $ 7.9M +37.5% $ 2.9M $ 3.3M -12.4% ¹ GAAP EPS $ 0.10 $ (0.28 ) +$0.38 $ 0.04 $ 0.00 +$0.04 Adjusted EBITDA $ 27.5M $ 24.1M +14.5% $ 7.7M $ 7.1M +7.7% Non-GAAP Adj. Operating Income $ 14.7M $ 11.5M +28.3% $ 4.5M $ 3.9M +14.8% Non-GAAP Adj. Net Income $ 14.4M $ 10.5M +37.2% $ 4.5M $ 3.9M +15.1% Cash from Operations $ 28.6M $ 20.6M +38.4% $ 8.7M $ 5.2M +65.9% ¹ Q4 2025 GAAP Operating Income and GAAP Net Income reflect a decrease as expected, driven primarily by increased amortization of acquired intangible assets and integration costs associated with the Medsphere acquisition (closed August 2025) and other 2025 acquisitions. This is a normal and anticipated accounting outcome following a significant acquisition. On a non-GAAP basis, Q4 2025 adjusted Operating Income and adjusted Net Income both grew approximately 15% year-over-year, reflecting the underlying strength of the business. Key 2025 Accomplishments Strong Revenue Growth: Full-year revenue of $120.5 million, exceeding previously increased guidance for the year. First Full-Year Positive EPS Since 2014 IPO: Historic milestone validating CareCloud’s multi-year profitability transformation. Inpatient Software Market Entry through Strategic Acquisitions: Expanded product portfolio to include inpatient EHR, RCM, analytics and #1 Black Book ranked EDIS platform— significantly broadening the total addressable market. AI Center of Excellence Live: Launched stratusAI Desk Agent (~75% of inbound calls automated) and stratusAI Voice Audit. Fully Available $10 Million Line of Credit: Fully repaid $9.3 million on the line of credit by year-end from internally generated cash flow. 13 Consecutive Preferred Dividends: Paid monthly dividends since February 2025 from free cash flow while simultaneously funding acquisitions and growth. Story Continues Management Commentary “2025 was the year CareCloud proved its model. We exceeded revenue guidance, introduced an inpatient product suite through our acquisitions of Medsphere and Map App, launched AI products that are already changing how care is delivered, and posted our first full-year positive EPS since going public. We enter 2026 with more scale, more capability, and more momentum than at any point in our history.” — Stephen Snyder, Chief Executive Officer, CareCloud “Our AI and acquisition strategies are no longer parallel tracks — they are one unified growth engine. Every platform we acquire becomes smarter, faster, and more valuable when we layer in our AI capabilities. The early results from stratusAI are exceeding expectations, and we are just beginning to unlock the cross-sell potential across our expanded client base. We are excited to see our customers starting to take advantage of the benefits of our AI-enabled offerings.” — A. Hadi Chaudhry, Chief Strategy Officer, CareCloud “The numbers tell a clear story: $28.6 million in operating cash flow, a fully repaid credit line, thirteen consecutive monthly preferred dividend payments, and GAAP net income up 37.5% year-over-year — all while funding four acquisitions. We have built a financially self-sustaining business, and our 2026 guidance reflects our confidence in continuing that trajectory.” — Norman Roth, Interim Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Controller, CareCloud 2026 Outlook: Positioned for Accelerating Growth CareCloud enters 2026 with significant operating momentum, a broadened product portfolio spanning ambulatory and inpatient care, and a scaling AI product suite. For the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2026 Full Year 2026 Guidance Revenue $128 – $132 million Adjusted EBITDA $29 – $31 million GAAP Net Income Per Share (EPS) $0.20 – $0.23 Revenue guidance is based on management’s expectations for contributions from existing clients, together with cross-selling and other organic and inorganic growth. EPS guidance of $0.20–$0.23 represents a 100-130% increase from the $0.10 achieved in full year 2025. Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $29–$31 million represents growth of approximately 5–13% over 2025 actuals of $27.5 million.

An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading “Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the underlying performance of our business operations, investors are reminded to consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, it should be noted that these non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies, and management may utilize other measures to illustrate performance in the future. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Net cash used in investing activities includes payments for acquisitions, purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software and other intangible assets. Purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software and other intangible assets are included in our computation of free cash flow. Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures We report our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. However, management believes that, in order to properly understand our short-term and long-term financial and operational trends, investors may wish to consider the impact of certain non-cash or non-recurring items, when used as a supplement to financial performance measures in accordance with GAAP. These items result from facts and circumstances that vary in frequency and impact on continuing operations. Management also uses results of operations before such items to evaluate the operating performance of CareCloud and compare it against past periods, make operating decisions, and serve as a basis for strategic planning. These non-GAAP financial measures provide management with additional means to understand and evaluate the operating results and trends in our ongoing business by eliminating certain non-cash expenses and other items that management believes might otherwise make comparisons of our ongoing business with prior periods more difficult, obscure trends in ongoing operations, or reduce management’s ability to make useful forecasts. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional means of evaluating period-over-period operating performance. In addition, management understands that some investors and financial analysts find this information helpful in analyzing our financial and operational performance and comparing this performance to our peers and competitors. Management uses adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, and non-GAAP adjusted net income to provide an understanding of aspects of operating results before the impact of investing and financing charges and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA may be useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance and liquidity because this measure excludes non-cash expenses as well as expenses pertaining to investing or financing transactions. Management defines “adjusted EBITDA” as the sum of GAAP net income (loss) before provision for (benefit from) income taxes, net interest expense, other (income) expense, stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, integration costs, transaction costs, impairment charges and changes in contingent consideration. Management defines “non-GAAP adjusted operating income” as the sum of GAAP operating income (loss) before stock-based compensation expense, amortization of purchased intangible assets, integration costs, transaction costs, impairment charges and changes in contingent consideration, and “non-GAAP adjusted operating margin” as non-GAAP adjusted operating income divided by net revenue. Management defines “non-GAAP adjusted net income” as the sum of GAAP net income (loss) before stock-based compensation expense, amortization of purchased intangible assets, other (income) expense, integration costs, transaction costs, impairment charges, changes in contingent consideration, any tax impact related to these preceding items and income tax expense related to goodwill, and “non-GAAP adjusted net income per share” as non-GAAP adjusted net income divided by common shares outstanding at the end of the period, including the shares which were issued but are subject to forfeiture and considered contingent consideration. Management considers all of these non-GAAP financial measures to be important indicators of our operational strength and performance of our business and a good measure of our historical operating trends, in particular the extent to which ongoing operations impact our overall financial performance. In addition to items routinely excluded from non-GAAP EBITDA, management excludes or adjusts each of the items identified below from the applicable non-GAAP financial measure referenced above for the reasons set forth with respect to that excluded item: Foreign exchange loss/other expense . Other expense is excluded because foreign currency gains and losses and other non-operating expenses are expenditures that management does not consider part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of our business, and also because the total amount of the expense is partially outside of our control. Foreign currency gains and losses are based on global market factors which are unrelated to our performance during the period in which the gains and losses are recorded. Stock-based compensation expense . Stock-based compensation expense is excluded because this is primarily a non-cash expenditure that management does not consider part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of our business, and also because the total amount of the expenditure is partially outside of our control because it is based on factors such as stock price, volatility, and interest rates, which may be unrelated to our performance during the period in which the expenses are incurred. Stock-based compensation expense includes cash-settled awards based on changes in the stock price. Amortization of purchased intangible assets . Purchased intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives and generally cannot be changed or influenced by management after the acquisition. Accordingly, this item is not considered by management in making operating decisions. Management does not believe such charges accurately reflect the performance of our ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are recorded. Transaction costs . Transaction costs are upfront costs related to acquisitions and related transactions, such as brokerage fees, pre-acquisition accounting costs and legal fees, and other upfront costs related to specific transactions. Management believes that such expenses do not have a direct correlation to future business operations, and therefore, these costs are not considered by management in making operating decisions. Management does not believe such charges accurately reflect the performance of our ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are incurred. Integration costs . Integration costs are severance payments for certain employees relating to our acquisitions and exit costs related to terminating leases and other contractual agreements. Accordingly, management believes that such expenses do not have a direct correlation to future business operations, and therefore, these costs are not considered by management in making operating decisions. Management does not believe such charges accurately reflect the performance of our ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are incurred. Lease termination and restructuring costs . Lease termination represents the write-off of leasehold improvements and gains or losses because of early terminations. Restructuring costs primarily consist of severance and separation costs associated with the optimization of the Company’s operations and profitability improvements. Management believes that such expenses do not have a direct correlation to future business operations, and therefore, these costs are not considered by management in making operating decisions. Management does not believe such charges accurately reflect the performance of our ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are incurred. Free cash flow. Management believes that free cash flow, which measures our ability to generate additional cash from our business operations, is an important financial measure for use in evaluating the Company's financial performance. Free cash flow should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, consolidated net operating results as a measure of our performance and net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Additionally, the Company's definition of free cash flow is limited, in that it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures, due to the fact that the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other contractual obligations or payments made for business acquisitions. Therefore, we believe it is important to view free cash flow as a measure that provides supplemental information to our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
