Lisa Im, CEO of Performant commented:
Because of the COVID impact, PFMT expected Q1 to be a smaller quarter in 2021, but PFMT is pleased to report that present and long-term dynamics remain very positive, as shown by the five new initiatives they introduced in the first quarter. Their goals for 2021 have not changed and they are optimistic in their plan to deliver and meet their previously announced guidance of $83-$90 million in annual healthcare sales and positive EBITDA.
PFMT is effectively winning new business and extending existing contracts by combining a client-centric approach with a patented and differentiated technology framework, she said. As they head forward into 2021, they remain very keen on healthcare growth prospects, and feel that the steady momentum they gained over the 18 months of contract execution demonstrates their willingness to provide healthcare clients with solutions that better suit their needs than competitors’ offerings.
