Catasys (NASDAQ: CATS), a leading AI and technology-enabled healthcare company, reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019, with revenue increasing 102% year-over-year to a record $8.8 million.
Why It Matters: CATS third quarter results show the company is well on-track to reach its previously issued full year guidance of $35 million in 2019. Looking to 2020, CATS expects to report revenue of at least $90 million, representing year-over-year growth of 157%, driven primarily through accelerating enrollment growth.
Key Quote: “Enrollments continued to increase at a rapid pace with nearly 1,500 net new enrolled members in the OnTrak program during the third quarter of 2019. We expect to close out 2019 with a strong fourth quarter despite encountering a few headwinds throughout the year, including one national plan freezing our launches pending a national behavioral health RFP, the onboarding of hundreds of new care team members across the country, the integration of new digital systems and the recruitment of a national commercial team, all of which are part of our investment in supporting the tremendous growth we anticipate in 2020, a year of exponential growth as reflected by our revenue guidance indicating that business will more than double.” – Terren Peizer, Chairman & CEO
