Allscripts announces second quarter 2013 results

CHICAGO, Aug. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDRX) today announced financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

Second Quarter Highlights:

• Achieved the highest quarterly level of new bookings since the fourth quarter of 2011. 
• Grew contract revenue backlog 16% over the prior quarter to a record $3.2 billion as of June 30, 2013. 
• Approximately 33 percent of bookings were derived from Population Health Management solutions comprised of Allscripts Care Management, dbMotion, FollowMyHealth™ patient portal, Patient Flow, Care Director as well as Allscripts post-acute, decision support and clinical analytics solutions.  These offerings are sold within as well as outside Allscripts core practice management and Electronic Health Record (EHR) client base.
• Achieved 2014 ONC HIT Certification for all of Allscripts core EHR platforms including Sunrise Acute and Ambulatory Care, Enterprise and Professional EHR as well as modular EHR certification for FollowMyHealth™ for both ambulatory and inpatient settings.  These certifications are critical steps to ensure client readiness to support Meaningful Use Stage 2 attestation. 
• Closed $650 million of new senior secured credit facilities (the "Senior Credit Facilities") and issued $345 million of cash convertible senior unsecured notes (the "Cash Convertible Notes").  These capital structure enhancements, totaling nearly $1 billion, immediately lowered the Company's cash costs, reduced near-term debt service requirements and significantly increased available liquidity. 

"We achieved important milestones this quarter that strengthen Allscripts long-term market position," said Paul M. Black, President and Chief Executive Officer of Allscripts.  "While we have important work ahead of us to return Allscripts to sustainable, predictable top-line growth and improved profitability, this quarter's achievements are certainly encouraging." 

Mr. Black continued, "Our intense focus on client obligations will continue in the second half of 2013.  We will leverage our recent success, including the certification of all Meaningful Use 2014 editions of our core clinical solutions, to drive further operational momentum.  In addition, successful new client activations drive increasing confidence among clients and prospects alike.  Allscripts value-proposition of fostering an Open Connected Community of Health clearly distinguishes the Company in the global healthcare IT market."

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Allscripts reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. To supplement this information, Allscripts presents in this release non-GAAP revenue, gross profit, operating income and net income, including non-GAAP net income on a per share basis, and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures under Section 101 of Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

• Non-GAAP revenue consists of GAAP revenue as reported and adds back acquisition-related deferred revenue adjustment booked for GAAP purposes.
• Non-GAAP gross profit consists of GAAP gross profit as reported and adds back acquisition-related deferred revenue adjustment booked for GAAP purposes and excludes acquisition-related amortization, stock-based compensation expense, and non-recurring expenses and transaction-related costs.
• Non-GAAP operating income consists of GAAP operating income as reported and adds back acquisition-related deferred revenue adjustments booked for GAAP purposes and excludes acquisition-related amortization, stock-based compensation expense, and non-recurring expenses and transaction-related costs.  
• Non-GAAP net income consists of GAAP net income as reported, excludes acquisition-related amortization, stock-based compensation expense and non-recurring expenses and transaction-related costs, and adds back acquisition-related deferred revenue adjustments, in each case net of any related tax effects.  Non-GAAP net income also includes a tax rate alignment adjustment.
• Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and consists of GAAP net income (loss) as reported and adjusts for: the provision for revenue deferral; provision/(benefit) for income taxes; net interest expense and interest income and other income/(expense); stock-based compensation expense; depreciation and amortization; deferred revenue adjustment; non-recurring and transaction-related costs; and non-cash asset impairment charges.

Acquisition-Related Deferred Revenue. Acquisition-related deferred revenue adjustments 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. Allscripts adds back this deferred revenue for its non-GAAP financial measures because it believes the inclusion of this amount directly correlates to the underlying performance of Allscripts operations.

Acquisition-Related Amortization.  Acquisition-related amortization expense is a non-cash expense arising primarily from the acquisition of intangible assets in connection with acquisitions or investments. Allscripts excludes acquisition-related amortization expense from non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP net income because it believes (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of Allscripts 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 Expense. Stock-based compensation expense is a non-cash expense arising from the grant of stock awards to employees. Allscripts excludes stock-based compensation expense from non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP net income because it believes (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of Allscripts business operations and (ii) such expenses can vary significantly between periods as a result of the timing 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 in the second quarter of 2013 relate to certain severance, product consolidation, legal, consulting, and other charges incurred in connection with activities that are considered one-time. 

Transaction-related costs during the second quarter of 2013 are fees and expenses, including legal, investment banking and accounting fees incurred in connection with the acquisitions of dbMotion, Ltd. and Jardogs.   Allscripts excludes transaction-related costs from non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP net income because it believes (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of Allscripts business operations and (ii) such expenses can vary significantly between periods.  

Non-cash charges to interest expense.  Non-cash charges to interest expense include the write-off of deferred debt issuance costs associated with the refinancing of the Company's credit facilities during the second quarter of 2013 and non-cash amortization of the fair value of the cash conversion option embedded in the 1.25% Cash Convertible Notes issued during the current quarter.

Tax Rate Alignment. Tax adjustment to align the current quarter's effective tax rate to the expected annual effective tax rate.

Management also believes that non-GAAP revenue, gross profit, operating income, net income and non-GAAP net income on a per share basis, and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding the underlying performance of the Company's business operations. Acquisition accounting adjustments made in accordance with GAAP can make it difficult to make meaningful comparisons of the underlying operations of the business without considering the non-GAAP adjustments that we have provided and discussed herein.  Management also uses this information internally for forecasting and budgeting as it believes that these measures are indicative of the Company's core operating results. In addition, the Company uses non-GAAP revenue, operating income, net income and/or Adjusted EBITDA to measure achievement under the Company's stock and cash incentive compensation plans. Note, however, that non-GAAP revenue, gross profit, operating income and net income and non-GAAP net income on a per share basis and Adjusted EBITDA are performance measures only, and they do not provide any measure of the Company's cash flow or liquidity. Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Allscripts results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP.  Investors and potential investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures with GAAP financial measures contained within the attached condensed consolidated financial statements.
