Teladoc (TDOC) Q2 Earnings Lag Estimates, Revenues Up Y/Y
Read MoreHide Full Article
Teladoc Health, Inc. (TDOC - Free Report) incurred second-quarter 2020 loss of 34 cents per share, wider than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 23 cents.
However, the reported figure was narrower than the year-ago quarter’s loss of 41 cents per share. This was primarily due to strong revenue growth, which was driven by higher demand for its telehealth services amid the COVID-19-induced uncertainty.
Behind the Headlines
The company’s operating revenues of $241 million surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 9.45% and also surged 85% year over year. This upside can be attributed to the strong performance of its revenue components, namely subscription access fees and visit fee.
Revenues from subscription access fees (which comprised 75.6% of total revenues) soared 64% year over year to nearly $182.2 million. Within this, subscription fees from the United States accounted for $152 million or 83.4% of total access fees (up 78% year over year) while international subscription fees made up the remaining 16.6% or $30.2 million (up 17%).
The company generated $58.9 million in visit fee revenues from general and medical visits, up 209% year over year.
Adjusted gross margin declined 570 basis points (bps) year over year to 62.3%.
Total visits of 2.755 million skyrocketed 203% year over year on membership gains in U.S. visit fee (up 468%) and international visits (up 85%).
Teladoc ended the quarter with U.S. paid membership of 1.996 million, which soared 227% year over year.
Total expenses in the quarter were $248.2 million, up 63% year over year, primarily due to higher advertising and marketing, sales, technology and development, legal and regulatory, acquisition and integration related costs, and general and administrative expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA was $26.3 million for the second quarter, which skyrocketed 317.5% from the prior-year quarter.
