Total Recurring revenues (91.2% of total revenues) were $139.8 million, up 5.6% from the year-ago quarter’s figure, driven by solid performances by NextGen’s subscription services and managed services.
Subscription services revenues in the fiscal first quarter amounted to $42.8 million, up 11.7% from the prior-year period’s level, driven by solid demand for NextGen Office, Mobile, Telehealth and other services.
Total Software, hardware and other non-recurring revenues (8.8% of total revenues) amounted to $14 million, down 1.2% on a year-over-year basis.
NextGen Healthcare, Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Net cash used in operating activities at the end of first-quarter fiscal 2023 was $4.6 million against net cash provided by operating activities of $0.3 million a year ago.
Fiscal 2023 Guidance
NextGen has lowered its financial outlook for fiscal 2023.
The company now projects revenues in the range of $621-$633 million compared with the earlier projection of $628-$640 million for the full fiscal year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the same is pegged at $633.8 million.
Adjusted EPS is now projected in the band of 92-98 cents, lowered from the earlier expected range of 95 cents-$1.01. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the same stands at 97 cents.
Our Take
NextGen exited the first quarter of fiscal 2023 with better-than-expected results. Solid uptick in the top line, along with strength in Recurring revenues, is impressive. Robust increase in Subscription services revenues in the quarter is encouraging. Continued strength in the NextGen Office and Enterprise domains as well as a host of surround solutions, such as mobile and telehealth, augur well. During its earnings call, NXGN confirmed that it introduced a line in recurring revenue, transactional and Data Services, which is promising.
However, NextGen’s year-over-year decline in adjusted EPS, and Software, hardware and other non-recurring revenues is disappointing. Contraction of both margins is worrying. NextGen lowered its financial outlook for the full fiscal year, which raises our apprehensions.
