Strategic Updates:
TruBridge acquisition closed on July 10, 2026. Pro forma revenue base reset to $300M annually (from earlier $340M expectation) while maintaining $68M EBITDA. Revenue adjustment due to conservative revenue recognition ($2-3M/quarter), elimination of unprofitable services ($8M/quarter), and anticipated customer discounts ($2-3M/quarter).
Five renewed strategic pillars: 1) Integrated system of action/record for rural market, 2) Extending AI workflows to traditional market, 3) Stratified go-to-market strategies, 4) Margin expansion to early-to-mid 30% EBITDA, 5) Cultural integration.
AI Strategy: Building proprietary Small Language Models (SLMs) using TruBridge's 5M+ patient dataset, developing explainable AI through knowledge graphs (ARAI acquisition), and implementing task-specific autonomy based on deterministic vs. non-deterministic outcomes.
