CPSI Announces First Quarter 2016 Results

May 16, 2016

MOBILE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 16, 2016-- The press release issued by CPSI (NASDAQ: CPSI) on May 4, 2016, contained an error in the calculation of the provision for income taxes for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. The Company’s provision for income taxes for the quarter was $1.0 million instead of $0.2 million as initially reported. This change affects the Company’s reported GAAP net loss for the quarter, which was $1.7 million instead of $0.9 million as initially reported; and the GAAP net loss per diluted share, which was $0.13 per diluted share instead of $0.07 as initially reported. Adjusted EBITDA only changed slightly, remaining at $13.2 million, and non-GAAP earnings per share was not impacted by this change, remaining at $0.54 per diluted share. Corresponding corrections have also been made to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of cash flows and other supplemental information. Additionally, the Company has recorded certain balance sheet reclassifications related to the refinement of purchase accounting amounts at March 31, 2016.

The corrected release reads:

CPSI ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2016 RESULTS

Highlights:

Revenues of $69.6 million;
Quarterly bookings of $22.9 million;
GAAP loss per diluted share of $0.13 and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.54;
GAAP net loss of $1.7 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $13.2 million;
Cash provided by operations of $0.8 million; and
Quarterly dividend of $0.64 per share.

CPSI (NASDAQ: CPSI), a leading provider of healthcare information solutions, today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016.

The Company also announced a quarterly cash dividend of $0.64 per share, payable on May 27, 2016, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 12, 2016.

Total revenues for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016, were $69.6 million, compared with total revenues of $46.2 million for the prior-year first quarter. The Company experienced a net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 of $1.7 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared with net income of $5.5 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. Cash provided by operations for the first quarter of 2016 was $0.8 million, compared with $13.6 million for the prior-year first quarter. Included in the first quarter results are $7.6 million of transaction costs associated with the Company's acquisition of Healthland.

"As the market leader for community healthcare IT with more than 35 percent market share, we are energized about our future," said Boyd Douglas, president and chief executive officer of CPSI. "In the short time since we acquired Healthland and its subsidiaries, we have already seen a positive response from the market. Community healthcare organizations have made it clear that they are looking for a technology partner with the experience, understanding and scalability to meet their unique needs with proven IT solutions.

"The momentum around our company integration efforts has already led to some positive and key outcomes in the first quarter of 2016. Cost synergies are actually ahead of schedule, and we expect revenue synergies to progressively increase throughout the remainder of the year, as planned. In addition to being ahead of schedule with these integration efforts, we are also pleased with the level of sales activity we are experiencing with both existing and new clients. Again, we are confident that our results will reflect improvement for the year."

Commenting further on the Company's financial performance for the quarter, Matt Chambless, chief financial officer of CPSI, stated, "Revenues for the quarter came in slightly less than expected, primarily due to the timing of the closing of the Healthland transaction, which resulted in a week's worth of lost revenue, estimated at approximately $1.5 million. After some consideration, we elected to forego any 'convenience method' potentially available to us that would have allowed us to align the date of acquisition for accounting purposes to an accounting close date, thereby capturing that week's worth of revenue in our consolidated results. Even with the loss of this revenue, cost efficiencies for the quarter, resulting from our integration plan, were realized at a higher rate than anticipated. As a result, adjusted EBITDA was in line with our projections."

In addressing 2016 guidance, Chambless said, "One of the significant challenges we faced in forming our 2016 revenue forecast was quantifying the deal attrition attributable to the acquisition within Healthland's revenue opportunities. With the benefit of one quarter's worth of hindsight, we now have better visibility into that impact and, as a result, have decided to adjust our 2016 annual revenue guidance. We are adjusting our guidance from its original range of $307 million to $322 million to an anticipated range of $297 million to $312 million.

"However, the continued execution of our integration plan has identified far more cost efficiencies that we expect to be able to achieve, resulting in projected cost synergies exceeding $14 million for 2016 with an exit run rate in excess of $17 million. This compares to our previous estimates of $10 million for 2016 with an exit run rate in excess of $13 million. These additional synergies, coupled with margin-related cost savings resulting from the reduced annual revenue guidance and increased NOL utilization for the remainder of 2016 as we return to a taxable income position, have us on target to achieve our original guidance on adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP EPS."

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or “GAAP.” However, management believes that, in order to properly understand our short-term and long-term financial and operational trends, investors may wish to consider the impact of certain non-cash or non-recurring items, when used as a supplement to financial performance measures that are prepared in accordance with GAAP. These items result from facts and circumstances that vary in frequency and impact on continuing operations. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in order to evaluate the operating performance of the Company and compare it against past periods, make operating decisions, and serve as a basis for strategic planning. These non-GAAP financial measures provide management with additional means to understand and evaluate the operating results and trends in our ongoing business by eliminating certain non-cash expenses and other items that management believes might otherwise make comparisons of our ongoing business with prior periods more difficult, obscure trends in ongoing operations, or reduce management’s ability to make useful forecasts. In addition, management understands that some investors and financial analysts find these non-GAAP financial measures helpful in analyzing our financial and operational performance and comparing this performance to our peers and competitors.

As such, to supplement the GAAP information provided, we present in this press release the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP net income, and Non-GAAP earnings per share (“EPS").

We calculate each of these non-GAAP financial measures as follows:

Adjusted EBITDA – Adjusted EBITDA consists of GAAP net income (loss) as reported and adjusts for: (i) deferred revenue and other adjustments arising from purchase allocation adjustments related to the Healthland acquisition; (ii) depreciation; (iii) amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets; (iv) stock-based compensation; (v) non-recurrent expenses and transaction-related costs; (vi) interest expense and other, net; and (vii) the provision for income taxes, net of the cash benefits derived from the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards acquired in the Healthland acquisition.
Non-GAAP net income – Non-GAAP net income consists of GAAP net income (loss) as reported and adjusts for (i) deferred revenue and other adjustments arising from purchase allocation adjustments related to the Healthland acquisition; (ii) amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets; (iii) stock-based compensation; (iv) non-recurrent expenses and transaction-related costs; (v) non-cash charges to interest expense and other; and (vi) the total tax effect of items (i) through (v). Adjustments to Non-GAAP net income also includes the after-tax effect of non-deductible transaction-related costs.
Non-GAAP EPS – Non-GAAP EPS consists of Non-GAAP net income, as defined above, divided by weighted average shares outstanding (diluted) in the applicable period.

Certain of the items excluded or adjusted to arrive at these non-GAAP financial measures are described below:

Deferred revenue and other adjustments - Deferred revenue and other adjustments includes acquisition-related deferred revenue adjustments, which reflect the fair value adjustments to deferred revenues acquired in business acquisitions. The fair value of deferred revenue represents an amount equivalent to the estimated cost plus an appropriate profit margin, to perform services related to the acquiree's software and product support, which assumes a legal obligation to do so, based on the deferred revenue balances as of the acquisition date. We add back deferred revenue and other adjustments for non-GAAP financial measures because we believe the inclusion of this amount directly correlates to the underlying performance of our operations.

Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets - Acquisition-related amortization expense is a non-cash expense arising primarily from the acquisition of intangible assets in connection with acquisitions or investments. We exclude acquisition-related amortization expense from non-GAAP financial measures because we believe (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations and (ii) such expenses can vary significantly between periods as a result of new acquisitions and full amortization of previously acquired intangible assets. Investors should note that the use of these intangible assets contributed to revenue in the periods presented and will contribute to future revenue generation, and the related amortization expense will recur in future periods.
Stock-based compensation - Stock-based compensation expense is a non-cash expense arising from the grant of stock-based awards. We exclude stock-based compensation expense from non-GAAP financial measures because we believe (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations and (ii) such expenses can vary significantly between periods as a result of the timing and valuation of grants of new stock-based awards, including grants in connection with acquisitions. Investors should note that stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to employees whose efforts contributed to the operating results in the periods presented and are expected to contribute to operating results in future periods, and such expense will recur in future periods.
Non-recurring expenses and transaction-related costs - Non-recurring expenses relate to certain severance and other charges incurred in connection with activities that are considered one-time. Transaction-related costs are the non-recurring costs related to specific acquisitions (such as the Healthland acquisition). We exclude non-recurring expenses and transaction-related costs from non-GAAP financial measures because we believe (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations and (ii) such expenses can vary significantly between periods.
Non-cash charges to interest expense and other - Non-cash charges to interest expense and other includes amortization of deferred debt issuance costs. We exclude non-cash charges to interest expense and other from non-GAAP financial measures because we believe these non-cash amounts relate to specific transactions and, as such, may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations.
Cash benefits derived from the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards acquired in the Healthland acquisition – A significant portion of the fair value of the assets we acquired in the Healthland acquisition is comprised of federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of the acquired entities. We add utilized amounts in computing adjusted EBITDA to reflect the cash benefit received by the Company from the utilization of these significant assets as such benefits are generally excluded from GAAP measures of financial performance.
After-tax effect of non-deductible transaction-related costs – Certain transaction costs incurred in the Healthland acquisition are non-deductible for federal income tax purposes as they are considered facilitative costs of the specific transaction. Similar to the treatment of non-recurring expenses and transaction-related costs, we exclude the after-tax effect of non-deductible transaction-related costs from non-GAAP net income because we believe (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations and (ii) such expenses can vary significantly between periods.

Management considers these non-GAAP financial measures to be important indicators of our operational strength and performance of our business and a good measure of our historical operating trends, in particular the extent to which ongoing operations impact our overall financial performance. In addition, management may use Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP net income and/or Non-GAAP EPS to measure the achievement of performance objectives under the Company’s stock and cash incentive programs. Note, however, that these non-GAAP financial measures are performance measures only, and they do not provide any measure of cash flow or liquidity. Non-GAAP financial measures are not alternatives for measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures presented by other companies, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, there is no certainty that we will not incur expenses in the future that are similar to those excluded in the calculation of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release. Investors and potential investors are encouraged to review the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” above.
