**HEALTHSTREAM ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2026 RESULTS**

**NASHVILLE, Tenn. (May 4, 2026)**—HealthStream, Inc. (the "Company") (Nasdaq: HSTM), a leading healthcare technology platform company for clinical workforce solutions, today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

**First Quarter 2026**

• Revenues of $81.2 million, up 10.5% from $73.5 million in the first quarter of 2025 , setting a new Company record for quarterly revenue

• Operating income of $7.5 million, up 71.6% from $4.4 million in the first quarter of 2025

• Net income of $5.9 million, up 36.4% from $4.3 million in the first quarter of 2025

• Earnings per share (EPS) of $0.20 per share (diluted), up from $0.14 per share (diluted) in the first quarter of 2025

• Adjusted EBITDA<sup>1</sup> of $20.1 million, up 24.1% from $16.2 million in the first quarter of 2025

• Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.035 per share, payable on May 29, 2026 to holders of record on May 18, 2026

• Authorized a share repurchase program to repurchase up to $10.0 million of outstanding shares of common stock on March 13, 2026

• Michael M. Collier named Chief Operating Officer & Executive Vice President

**Financial Results:**

**First Quarter 2026 Compared to First Quarter 2025**

Revenues for the first quarter of 2026 increased by $7.7 million, or 10.5%, to $81.2 million, compared to $73.5 million for the first quarter of 2025. Subscription revenues increased by $7.6 million, or 10.7%, and professional services revenues increased by $0.1 million compared to the first quarter of 2025. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, revenue growth for the first quarter of 2026 was positively impacted by $3.4 million from our acquisitions of Virsys12 and MissionCare Collective completed during the fourth quarter of 2025 and $4.3 million from growth across our existing portfolio of solutions.

Operating income was $7.5 million for the first quarter of 2026, up 71.6% from $4.4 million in the first quarter of 2025. The improvement in operating income was primarily attributable to increased revenues and sublease income associated with our sublease that commenced during the second quarter of 2025. These improvements were partially offset by higher expenses in the first quarter of 2026 to support investments in several areas of the business, primarily in our platform and enterprise applications, resulting in higher labor costs, increased royalties expense, and higher cloud hosting and third-party software expenses, along with increased amortization expense from our fourth quarter 2025 acquisitions.

Net income was $5.9 million in the first quarter of 2026, up 36.4% from $4.3 million in the first quarter of 2025, and EPS was $0.20 per share (diluted) in the first quarter of 2026, up from $0.14 per share (diluted) in the first quarter of 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA was $20.1 million for the first quarter of 2026, up 24.1% from $16.2 million in the first quarter of 2025.

------

<sup>1</sup> Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income and disclosure regarding why we believe adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors is included later in this release.

At March 31, 2026, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $66.5 million. The Company does not have any outstanding indebtedness from borrowed money. Capital expenditures incurred during the first quarter of 2026 were $7.3 million.

**Other Business Updates**

On March 13, 2026, the Company announced a new share repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors under which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $10.0 million of its outstanding shares of common stock. Pursuant to this authorization, the Company is authorized to make repurchases in the open market, including under Rule 10b5-1 plans, through privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. This share repurchase program will terminate on the earlier of September 12, 2026 or when the maximum dollar amount under the plan is expended. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased 119,367 shares of common stock at an aggregate fair value of $2.5 million under this authorization, and the Company continued to repurchase shares pursuant to this authorization during the second quarter of 2026*,* repurchasing 90,131 additional shares valued at $1.8 million through April 30, 2026.

Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased 222,978 shares of common stock at an aggregate fair value of $5.0 million under its previously announced share repurchase program that was authorized on November 11, 2025. This program authorized the Company to repurchase up to $10.0 million of its outstanding shares of common stock and terminated during the three months ended March 31, 2026 when the maximum dollar amount under the program was expended.

In total during the first quarter of 2026, the Company repurchased 342,345 shares of common stock under the share repurchase programs described above at an aggregate fair value of $7.5 million, reflecting an average purchase of $21.91 per share.

On May 4, 2026, the Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend under the Company's dividend policy of $0.035 per share, payable on May 29, 2026 to holders of record on May 18, 2026.

**Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

This press release presents adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure used by management in analyzing the Company's financial results and ongoing operational performance. In order to better assess the Company's financial results, management believes that net income before interest, income taxes, stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, impairments of long-lived assets, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, and changes in fair value of, including gains (losses) on the sale of, non-marketable equity investments ("adjusted EBITDA") is a useful measure for evaluating the operating performance of the Company because adjusted EBITDA reflects net income adjusted for certain GAAP accounting, non-cash, and/or non-operating items which may not, in any such case, fully reflect the underlying operating performance of our business. Beginning with the presentation of adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company has included adjustments in the definition of adjusted EBITDA for impairment of long-lived assets and changes in fair value of contingent consideration because the Company believes that these amounts may not be reflective of the underlying operational performance of our business and that including these adjustments is consistent with the intended purpose of adjusted EBITDA with respect to reflecting the underlying operating performance of our business and comparing the Company's operational performance between periods. We believe that adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors to assess the Company's ongoing operating performance and to compare the Company's operating performance between periods. In addition, certain short-term cash incentive bonuses and performance-based equity awards are based on the achievement of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in applicable bonus and equity grant documentation) targets.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Because adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP, adjusted EBITDA is susceptible to varying calculations. Accordingly, adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and has limitations as an analytical tool.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance, which are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA to net income (the most comparable GAAP measure), which is set forth below in this release.
