President and CEO Commentary
Joseph H. Capper, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioTelemetry, Inc., commented:
“Due to the unwavering commitment of the entire BioTelemetry team, we continued to successfully navigate the current external challenges. As such, our business recovered faster than anticipated during the quarter, finishing strong with total revenue of $99.1 million and adjusted EBITDA of $25.6 million. Cardiac monitoring volumes bounced off their April lows, quickly returning to more normalized levels by quarter end. Given the encouraging trends coming out of the quarter, we believe we will soon be back to delivering year-over-year revenue and earnings growth.
“As I shared previously, in early April we streamlined our cost structure to manage through the downturn. As the business improved, we were able to call back all furloughed employees and are now operating at pre-pandemic headcount levels. We have pivoted back into an offensive posture as evidenced by the advancement of several business initiatives. The acquisition of Centene’s RPM assets is a key step toward increasing our commercial activity in the rapidly growing population health management market. The Boston Scientific and Roche agreements are designed to extend the capabilities of our market-leading cardiac monitoring franchise.
“We are more confident than ever that the post COVID-19 healthcare environment will demand a host of telehealth and remote monitoring solutions. As one of the largest, fastest growing and most profitable connected health companies, we are perfectly positioned to capitalize on this opportunity.”
