CareCloud Completes Credit Line Repayment and Revises Credit Agreement

OPERATIONS

October 28, 2024

CareCloud, Inc., a prominent provider of healthcare technology solutions, has fully repaid its credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), marking a significant step in achieving its financial goals for 2024. This milestone highlights the company's focus on strengthening its financial position and optimizing its operational framework.

According to Norm Roth, Interim CFO and Corporate Controller of CareCloud, the company began 2024 with a $10 million outstanding balance and set a clear objective to enhance free cash flow, enabling early repayment. "We are pleased to have accomplished this ahead of schedule, achieving a zero balance by the end of the third quarter," Roth stated.

In addition to settling its credit facility balance, CareCloud reduced the available limit on its credit line. This adjustment is expected to save the company approximately $140,000 annually in banking fees. This move reflects CareCloud's strategic efforts to drive efficiency and improve its cash flow metrics.

Under the Ninth Loan Modification Agreement, signed on October 25, 2024, with Silicon Valley Bank (a division of First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company), CareCloud retains an unused credit facility of $10 million, available for future use if needed.

CareCloud, known for its innovative healthcare technology, continues to support over 40,000 providers. The company aims to enhance patient care, streamline administrative processes, and lower operational costs through its technology-driven solutions.

Amy BarzdukasExecutive Vice President & Chief Marketing OfficerPolyAmy Barzdukas, EVP and Chief Marketing Officer at Poly is a marketing and communications leader with extensive experience in setting strategy, shifting perceptions, advising customers, digital marketing, revenue marketing, integrated marketing communications, and public relations in highly competitive product arenas.

Amy is known for her ability to create and execute winning turnarounds on a global scale.

MEDIA 7: What inspired you to get into marketing?
AMY BARZDUKAS:
I was always destined for marketing, even if I didn’t know it. As a child, I collected promotional brochures. I was fascinated by how the words and pictures were used to drive action. My first job was as an advertising copywriter, and I’ve never looked back.

M7: How is Poly redefining the video conferencing experience for modern businesses?
AB:
 We’re in an unprecedented time of change in our industry. Voice and video services are moving to the cloud, and companies are changing how they approach their communications needs. Poly is the largest provider of the devices – video conferencing, audio conferencing, headphones and desk phones – you use to connect to these services so you can collaborate with your colleagues. That uniquely positions us to shape the video conferencing experience, and we’re doing so in four ways.

First, Poly has made both the Zoom Rooms and the Microsoft Teams video conferencing experience better than ever with our radically simple Poly Studio X video bars that deliver these experiences with no PC or Mac required. We’ve got decades of experience in understanding what makes meetings more human – for everyone in the room and those dialing in from other locations – and we’ve packed all of that into easy-to-install, easy-to-manage, and easy-to-use all-in-one powerhouses.

Second, we are bringing the world of AV and video conferencing into the modern app economy. Our Studio X series and Poly G7500 video conferencing devices run a common platform that can be updated and enhanced through a series of regular software updates. This Poly platform, built on Android, can run applications like a smartphone does today.

Third, Poly has introduced innovation that makes any video conference better. Our new Poly MeetingAI features use AI and machine learning to address the distractions that hit your senses in a meeting. We make it easier to hear what’s being said by blocking out the annoying noises that people make while talking, and we make it easier to see what’s going on in the room with the most advanced speaker tracking and framing, and our built-in production rules.

Finally, we are pricing our solutions in a way that completely resets the calculations on what it costs to outfit a room. The Studio X30, for huddle room and smaller spaces, costs just about $2,100, including the Poly TC8 touch controller. All you add is the cloud service and a monitor, and you have a room up and running for under $2,500. That’s easily under the cost of other solutions and with better audio and video quality.
