Augmedix, Inc. (the "Company" or "Augmedix") (formerly known asMalo Holdings Corporation ) provides virtual medical documentation services for clinicians through software compatible with off-the-shelf, mobile client devices (smartphones or Google Glass) that enables clinicians to connect to theAugmedix Service Platform ("ASP"). Through the ASP, clinicians either subscribe to the Augmedix Live service or the Notes service. Clinicians connect in real time to medical documentation specialists ("MDSs"), if subscribed toAugmedix's Live service. If subscribed toAugmedix's Notes service, the clinician-patient's ambient interaction is recorded and processed using ASR (auto speech recognition) then reviewed and edited byAugmedix's MDSs. For both services, the relevant elements of the clinician-patient interaction are extracted and compiled into a comprehensive and accurate medical note that is then uploaded into the patient's chart contained within the electronic health record system, which is a third-party software licensed by the healthcare clinic or system
to manage patient charts.
Patient care in theU.S. is provided in ambulatory or clinical environments and hospitals. We focus most of our efforts in the ambulatory/clinical segment of the patient care market, although we recently started offering services into the emergency department of hospitals. Roughly 75% of the physicians who subscribe to our service are employed directly by, or are affiliated with, a healthcare enterprise. The remaining 25% consists of small practices and individual practitioners. We have generated in excess of four million medical notes since we began offering our service and are currently delivering approximately 40,000 notes to our customers each week. We estimate that our solution saves doctors two to three hours each day which is time that they can redeploy to see more patients or improve their work-life balance. We believe the benefits to healthcare enterprises are increased productivity and higher clinician and patient satisfaction. 20
The current COVID-19 pandemic and resulting safety protocols have prompted a significant shift towards delivering health services remotely via telemedicine. Our technology platform was designed to enable real time, two-way communication between remotely-located participants. As such, we were able to continue to provide uninterrupted service to our customers. We believe telemedicine will remain an important part of health services delivery even after the end of
the COVID-19 pandemic.
We provide service from ten MDS Operations Centers across four countries - the US,Bangladesh ,India andSri Lanka . There are six centers inIndia and one center inSri Lanka that are owned and operated by five independent third parties (the "Vendors"), while the two centers in the US andBangladesh are wholly-owned and operated by us, additionally we have begun our own operations inIndia .
The COVID-19 pandemic has also required modifications to how we deliver our service. While our general business model is to provide MDS service from central operating centers, local shelter in place orders have required us to shift to work-from-home for all employees and contracted employees. We will continue our work from home model until local conditions remove workplace restrictions and employees can safely work from our central operations centers. We instituted additional system controls to ensure compliance with our privacy practices. Our technology vision is to automate as much of the medical note creation process as possible by applying intelligent automation. While the unstructured nature of a conversation between physician and patient places inherent limitations on how much note creation can ultimately be automated, we believe automation, even if partial, could generate significant benefits including improved operating efficiencies, higher-quality medical notes and a more uniform level of note quality. Key metrics
We regularly review the following key metrics to measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections, make strategic business decisions and assess working capital needs.
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, Key Metrics 2022 2021 2022 2021 (unaudited) (unaudited) Average clinicians in service headcount 1,040 700 1,000 665 Average annual revenue per clinician$ 28,000 $ 29,100 $ 28,400 $ 29,500 Dollar -based net revenue retention 131 % 129 % 132 % 120 % Average Clinicians in Service Headcount: We define a clinician in service as an individual doctor, nurse practitioner or other healthcare professional using our services. We average the month end number of clinicians in service for all months in the measurement period and the number of clinicians in service at the end of the month immediately preceding the measurement period. We believe growth in the average number of clinicians in service is a key indicator of the performance of our business as it demonstrates our ability to penetrate the market and grow our business. Most of our customer contracts contain minimum service levels that range from a low of 60 hours per month to a high of 200 hours per month. Higher hours per month equate to higher revenue per clinician. The average number of clinicians in service grew 49% to 1,040 from 700 for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and grew 50% to 1,000 from 665 for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Average Annual Revenue Per Clinician: Average revenue per clinician is determined as total revenue, excluding Data Services revenue, recognized during the period presented divided by the average number of clinicians in service during that same period. Using the number of clinicians in service at the end of each month, we derive an average number of clinicians in service for the periods presented. The average annual revenue per clinician will vary based upon minimum hours of service requested by clinicians, pricing, and our product mix. The average annual revenue per clinician decreased to$28,000 in the three months endedJune 30, 2022 , down 4% from$29,100 in the three months endedJune 30, 2021 due to an increase in the mix of Notes clinicians. Revenue from Notes clinicians is lower than revenue from Live clinicians. The average annual revenue per clinician decreased to$28,400 in the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , down 4% from$29,500 in the six months endedJune 30, 2021 due to an increase in mix in Notes clinicians in this six month period versus a year
ago.21 Dollar -Based Net Revenue Retention: We define a "Health Enterprise" as a company or network of doctors that has at least 50 clinicians currently employed or affiliated that could utilize our services. Dollar-based net revenue retention is determined as the revenue fromHealth Enterprises as of twelve months prior to such period end as compared to revenue from these sameHealth Enterprises as of the current period end, or current period revenue. Current period revenue includes any expansion or new products and is net of contraction or churn over the trailing twelve months but excludes revenue from newHealth Enterprises in the current period. We believe growth in dollar-based net revenue retention is a key indicator of the performance of our business as it demonstrates our ability to increase revenue across our existing customer base through expansion of users and products, as well as our ability to retain existing customers. Our annual dollar-based net revenue retention increased to 131% in three months endedJune 30, 2022 compared to 129% in the three months endedJune 30, 2021 . Growth from existing clients has historically represented a majority of our total revenue growth. Our annual dollar-based net revenue retention increased to 132% in six months endedJune 30, 2022 up from 120% in six months endedJune 30, 2021 .
Components of Results of Operations
Revenues Our revenues primarily consist of service fees we charge customers to subscribe to our remote medical documentation and clinical support solutions. We generate subscription fees pursuant to contracts that typically have initial terms of one year, automatically renew after the initial term and are subject to a 90-day cancellation notice after the initial one year term. Customer attrition, as it pertains to our Health Enterprise clients is infrequent. In fiscal 2021, 2019, 2018, and 2017, we did not lose any of our Health Enterprise clients nor have we lost any year to date in 2022. We lost three Health Enterprise clients in fiscal 2020, with the COVID-19 pandemic being the main contributing factor for these losses, but we also won three new Health Enterprise clients during the year. Subscription revenue is driven primarily by the number of clinicians using our services, the minimum number of hours contracted per month, and the contracted monthly price. We typically invoice customers one to three months in advance for subscriptions to our services. For customers who use more than the minimum number of monthly hours, we have the ability to bill for the additional hours utilized at a prescribed contractual price. We also perform upfront implementation services such as ensuring adequate Wi-Fi capability of the clinician's facilities, shipping devices and accessories to the clinician, testing, selecting and assigning MDSs, obtaining EHR credentials for the MDSs, and clinician orientation. Revenues associated with implementation efforts, which are less than 1% of total revenue in the three months endedJune 30, 2022 , are deferred until we go live with our service and then recognized ratably over the initial term of the contract.
Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit
Cost of Revenues. Our cost of revenues primarily consists of the cost of the MDSs, some of whom are employees of our Vendors and some of whom are our employees, their direct supervisors, and clinician and technical support. Cost of revenues also consists of infrastructure costs to operate our SaaS-based platform such as hosting fees and fees paid to various third-party partners for access to their technology, plus hardware depreciation and cost of shipping for the devices and accessories we provide to our clinicians. Gross Profit. Our gross profit is calculated by subtracting our cost of revenues from revenues. Gross margin is expressed as a percentage of total revenues. Our gross profit may fluctuate from period to period as revenues fluctuate, and as a result of the mix of MDS centers from which service is provided, operational efficiencies regarding the relationship between the number of MDSs and clinicians, product mix, and changes to our technology expenses and customer support. Our gross profit varies by MDS center. We plan to focus on and grow the operations of the MDS centers with the best quality and highest gross margin. We intend to continue to invest additional resources in our platform infrastructure. We will also continue to invest in technology innovation, such as Notebuilder, to reduce the level of effort required by MDSs. We expect these optimization efforts and our investment in technology to expand the efficiency and capability of our platform, enabling us to improve our gross margin over time. The level and timing of investment in these areas, plus the mix of MDS centers, could affect our cost of revenues in the future. When theBangladesh MDSs fully return to the office it will create some gross margin headwinds as we will incur higher transportation and food costs. 22
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee compensation costs for operations management, finance, accounting, information technology, compliance, legal, and human resources personnel, and our business support team inBangladesh . In addition, general and administrative expenses include non-personnel costs, such as facilities, legal, accounting, insurance, and other professional fees, as well as other supporting corporate expenses not allocated to other departments. We expect our general and administrative expenses will increase in absolute dollars as our business grows, but we expect general and administrative expenses to decrease as a percent of revenues in the coming
years. Sales and Marketing Expenses Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee compensation costs related to sales and marketing, including salaries, benefits, commissions, bonuses, and stock-based compensation, costs of general marketing activities and promotional activities, travel-related expenses, and allocated overhead. Sales and marketing expenses also include costs for advertising and other marketing activities. Advertising is expensed as incurred. We expect our sales and marketing expenses will increase in absolute dollars as we expand our sales
and marketing efforts.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses consist of costs for the design, development, testing, and enhancement of our products and services and are generally expensed as incurred. These costs consist primarily of personnel costs, including salaries, benefits, bonuses, and stock-based compensation for our development personnel. Research and development expenses also include direct MDS training costs, product management, third-party partner fees, and third-party consulting fees. We expect our research and development expenses will increase in absolute dollars as our business grows, but R&D expenses are expected to decrease as a percent of revenues in the coming years. Interest Expense, net Interest expense, net consists primarily of the interest incurred on our debt obligations and the noncash interest expense associated with the amortization of debt discounts, debt facility fees, and warrants granted concurrently with new debt facilities. Interest expense is offset by any interest income we earn on our cash balances held in our interest-bearing savings account. Other Income (Expenses) Included in other income (expense) are foreign currency gains and losses due to exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than our functional currency, and any incentive grants we receive from theBangladesh government for investments we make within the country. 23 The following table summarizes the results of our operations for the periods presented: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 (in thousands) (unaudited) (unaudited) (unaudited) (unaudited) Revenues$ 7,333 $ 5,173 $ 14,318 $ 9,963 Cost of revenues 4,131 2,761 8,003 5,426 Gross profit 3,202 2,412 6,315 4,537 Operating expenses: General and administrative 4,172 3,220 8,219 6,749 Sales and marketing 2,432 1,728 4,663 3,302 Research and development 2,649 1,499 4,929 2,925 Total operating expenses 9,253 6,447 17,811 12,976 Loss from operations (6,051 ) (4,035 ) (11,496 ) (8,439 ) Other income (expenses): Interest expense (385 ) (605 ) (986 ) (1,296 ) Interest income 4 3 9 7 Loss on extinguishment (1,097 ) - (1,097 ) - Other income 82 - 187 187 Total other expenses, net (1,396 ) (602 ) (1,887 ) (1,102 ) Net loss$ (7,447 ) $ (4,637 ) $ (13,383 ) $ (9,541 )
Comparison for the three months ended
Revenues Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 $ % (in thousands) (unaudited) (unaudited) Change Change Revenues$ 7,333 $ 5,173 $ 2,160 42 % Revenues increased 42%, or$2.2 million , to$7.3 million during the three months endedJune 30, 2022 . The increase was primarily attributable to a 49% increase in the average number of clinicians in service, partially offset by a 4% decrease in average revenue per unit ("ARPU") due to a higher mix of Notes clinicians. The slower growth of implementation fees reduced total company growth by approximately one percentage point. The increase in clinicians in service was driven predominately by our existingHealth Enterprises adding physicians, by the strong growth of clinicians using Augmedix Notes, and by new customers. Dollar-based net revenue retention of ourHealth Enterprises was 131% in the three months endedJune 30, 2022 .
Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin
Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 $ % (in thousands) (unaudited) (unaudited) Change Change Cost of revenues$ 4,131 $ 2,761 $ 1,370 50 % Cost of revenues increased$1.4 million to$4.1 million during the three months endedJune 30, 2022 , as compared to$2.8 million during the three months endedJune 30, 2021 . The increase was attributable to a$1.2 million increase in MDS costs, up 44% verses to the comparable period last year, as clinicians in service grew during 2022. The period in 2021 was impacted by a write-off of a lease provision associated with our previous office space that lowered our cost of revenue by$0.1 million in the three months endedJune 30, 2021 . Cloud Hosting grew by$0.2 million as our clinicians in service grew and we added additional redundancy to our streaming platform to make it even more stable, plus added technology to further automation. As a result of increased MDS costs and cloud hosting costs, our gross margin was 43.7% during the three months endedJune 30, 2022 , as compared to 46.6% during the three months endedJune 30, 2021 . An increase in the proportion of US-serviced clinicians, as compared to clinicians serviced from outside the US, more than offset the operating efficiencies we gained between the two periods, along with the year ago period's gross margin benefiting from the write-off of the lease provision. 24

The largest increase was the$0.4 million in expense growth due to higher bookings performance driving higher commission accruals, in addition to increased headcount in both our Customer Account Management and Sales teams. The increase was also attributable to$0.2 million of additional advertising spend, internal marketing headcount and outsourced marketing services. The remaining$0.1 million increase was driven by additional headcount to the customer onboarding team in order to sufficiently meet the needs of the growing number of clinicians launching our services.

Cost of revenues
Cost of revenues increased$2.6 million to$8.0 million during the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , as compared to$5.4 million during the six months endedJune 30, 2021 . The increase was primarily attributable to a$2.2 million increase in MDS costs, up 43% as compared to the same period a year ago when normalizing for the lease write off provision, as clinicians in service grew year on year. We also had a higher number of clinicians supported by US-based MDSs, which are more expensive than MDSs outside the US. In addition, cloud hosting costs increased by$0.3 million due to the addition of new clinicians, increased technology redundancy in our streaming platform, and new technology to drive automation. Lastly, there was a$0.1 million write-off of lease provision in 2021 that lowered costs in the six months endedJune 30, 2021 , and thus raised gross margin in the period last year. Gross margin for the six months endingJune 30, 2022 was 44.1%, as compared to 43.9% in the six months endedJune 30, 2021 , after adding back the lease write-provision.

Our interest expense decreased$0.3 million to$1.0 million during the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , compared to$1.3 million during the six months endedJune 30, 2021 , due to the lower interest rate on our new debt facility staringMay 2022 . There was a$1.1 million loss on debt extinguishment as a result of refinancing our debt facility, which relates to the$1.1million cash exit fee paid to our previous lender. During the six months endedJune 30, 2022 we received a$0.2 million in incentive grants from theBangladesh government for our investments and expenditures in that country. During the six months endedJune 30, 2021 , we received incentive grants of$0.2 million . Grants should grow as our expense base grows inBangladesh , but the quarterly timing of our cash receipt of these grants is hard to estimate. 27
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash raised from sales of common stock, preferred stock prior to 2020, and cash from borrowings under various facilities, which are further described below. As ofJune 30, 2022 , we had cash resources of$30.8 million which includes$0.8 million of restricted cash to secure our credit card facility balances, to collateralize a letter of credit in the name of our landlord pursuant to a certain operating lease and for a post-employment savings fund established for the benefit of eligibleBangladesh employees. SinceAugmedix's inception in 2013 until today, we have financed our operations primarily through the private and public sale of over$185.0 million of preferred and common stock and from various debt arrangements. As described in Note 1 of our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, we have incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and have an accumulated deficit atJune 30, 2022 of$115.1 million . We have relied on debt and equity financing to fund operations to date and we expect losses and negative cash flows to continue, primarily as a result of continued research, development and marketing efforts. Our recent debt refinancing and cash balance will provide sufficient resources to meet working capital needs for over twelve months from the filing date of theJune 30, 2022 Form 10-Q.

JOBS Act Accounting Election We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. We have elected to early adopt certain new accounting standards, as described in Note 2 of our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. As a result, these interim financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates. 29

A description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that may potentially impact our financial position and results of operations is disclosed in Note 2 to our unaudited interim financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
