For the fiscal first quarter ended September 30, 2015, Premier generated net revenue of $270.8 million, an increase of 18%, from net revenue of $229.3 million for the same period a year ago.

Adjusted EBITDA of $105.0 million increased 16% from $90.5 million for the same period last year. The increase was predominantly driven by net administrative fees revenue growth in Supply Chain Services and growth in the company’s Performance Services segment, primarily SaaS-based subscriptions and renewals.    

Adjusted fully distributed net income for the fiscal first quarter rose 17% to $56.0 million, or $0.38 per fully diluted share, from $47.8 million, or $0.33 per fully diluted share, for the same period a year ago. Adjusted fully distributed earnings per share is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net income, adjusted for non-recurring and non-cash items, attributable to all shareholders as if all Class B shareholders exchange their Class B common units and associated Class B common shares for Class A common shares, and reflects income taxes at an estimated effective rate of 40% on 100% of pretax income.

GAAP Net income for the quarter totaled $52.3 million, compared with $64.9 million for the same quarter a year ago. The decline is primarily attributable to higher stock-based compensation due to a cumulative adjustment for an increase in projected achievement for performance shares granted in 2014, and higher income tax expense resulting from a decline in the company’s deferred tax assets as a result of a statutory one percent reduction in the state of North Carolina’s income tax rate and the recording of a valuation allowance against a portion of the company’s deferred tax assets. Fiscal 2016 and 2015 first-quarter net income attributable to stockholders required non-cash adjustments of $466.8 million and $(382.7) million, respectively, to reflect the change in the redemption value of the limited partners Class B common unit ownership at the end of each period. These non-cash adjustments result from changes in the company’s stock price between periods and do not reflect results of the company’s business operations. After this non-cash adjustment based on the change in stock price, the company reported GAAP net income attributable to stockholders of $0.24 per fully diluted share, compared with a GAAP net loss attributable to stockholders of $11.53 per fully diluted share a year ago. (See income statement in the tables section of this press release.)

Segment Results

Supply Chain Services

For the fiscal first quarter ended September 30, 2015, the Supply Chain Services segment generated net revenue of $196.5 million, an increase of 15% from $170.3 million a year ago. Revenue growth was driven by strong performance of both the company’s group purchasing organization (GPO) and products businesses. GPO net administrative fees revenue of $117.9 million increased 11% from a year ago, reflecting improved contract penetration of existing members and continued recruitment and conversion of new members. Product sales of $77.8 million increased 22% from a year ago due to the ongoing growth in member utilization of the company’s direct sourcing and specialty pharmacy businesses. 

Supply Chain Services segment adjusted EBITDA of $102.9 million for the fiscal 2016 first quarter increased 13% from $91.3 million for the same period a year ago. The increase primarily reflects growth in net administrative fees revenue.

Performance Services

For the fiscal first quarter ended September 30, 2015, the Performance Services segment generated net revenue of $74.3 million, an increase of 26% from $59.0 million for the same quarter last year. Revenue growth was driven by PremierConnect SaaS-based (software-as-a-service) subscriptions and renewals and the company’s advisory services. 

Performance Services segment adjusted EBITDA was $24.9 million for the fiscal 2016 first quarter, an increase of 36% from $18.4 million for the same quarter last year. The growth in adjusted EBITDA reflects increased revenue from PremierConnect SaaS-based subscriptions and renewals and the company’s advisory services.

Cash Flows and Liquidity

Cash provided by operating activities was $22.7 million for the fiscal first quarter ended September 30, 2015, compared with $45.9 million for the same quarter last year. Operating cash flows for the quarter decreased primarily due to the payment of annual employee incentives in September 2015 and a $15.0 million prepayment to a distributor in order to receive additional discounts on product purchases. At September 30, 2015, the company’s cash, cash equivalents and short- and long-term marketable securities totaled $236.2 million, compared with $398.2 million at September 30, 2014, and consisted of $109.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and $126.4 million in marketable securities with maturities ranging from three months to five years.  The reduction in cash, cash equivalents and short- and long-term marketable securities, as compared to last year, was due to the company’s acquisitions of CECity.Com, Inc. and Healthcare Insights, LLC during the first quarter. 

Free cash flow for the fiscal first quarter ended September 30, 2015 was $(16.9) million, compared with $9.1 million for the same quarter last year. Due to specific cash outflows in the first quarter, the company expected lower free cash flow in the first quarter. The company continues to expect that 40% to 50% of adjusted EBITDA will convert to free cash flow for the full fiscal year. The company defines free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities less distributions to limited partners, purchases of property and equipment, and payments to limited partners under tax receivable agreements (see free cash flow reconciliation to net cash provided by operating activities in the tables section of this press release).

At September 30, 2015, the company had an outstanding balance of $150.0 million on its five-year $750.0 million revolving credit facility. These borrowings were used to partially fund the acquisition of CECity.Com, Inc. which closed on August 20, 2015. 

Fiscal 2016 Outlook and Guidance

Based on fiscal first-quarter results and management’s current expectations for the remainder of fiscal 2016, the company affirms its full fiscal-year 2016 financial guidance which was updated on October 6, 2015. 

Fiscal 2016 Financial Guidance (1)
   
Premier, Inc. affirms full-year fiscal 2016 financial guidance, as follows:
   
(in millions, except per-share data)FY 2016% YoY Increase
Net Revenue:  
Supply Chain Services segment$792 - $813 7% - 10% 
Performance Services segment$352 - $362 31% - 35% 
Total Net Revenue$1,144 - $1,175 14% - 17% 
   
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA$425 - $444 8% - 13% 
   
Non-GAAP adjusted fully distributed EPS$1.54 - $1.62 8% - 13% 
(1) Premier does not reconcile guidance for adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted fully distributed net income per-share to net income (loss) or GAAP earnings per share because the company does not provide guidance for reconciling items between net income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted fully distributed earnings per share. The company is unable to provide guidance for these reconciling items since certain items that impact net income (loss) are outside of the company’s control and cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, a reconciliation to net income (loss) or GAAP earnings per share is not available without unreasonable effort.

Consistent with the increased financial guidance provided on October 6, 2015, the company’s full fiscal-year 2016 outlook is based on the following key assumptions: Stable growth in the Supply Chain Services segment through the continued, but more normalized growth of the company’s direct sourcing and specialty pharmacy businesses; the addition and contract conversion ramp-up of new GPO members, and deeper penetration of existing members’ supply spend; increased product and services sales in the Performance Services segment, including sales and use of SaaS-based products; increased member participation in performance improvement collaboratives and increased demand for advisory services; the contribution from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services contract award related to the Partnership for Patients initiative; and the continuation of historically high retention and renewal rates of Premier’s GPO and SaaS informatics products.

Guidance assumptions also include the integration and realization of anticipated financial and operational contributions from the CECity, Healthcare Insights, and InflowHealth acquisitions previously announced but do not contemplate the impact of any potential future acquisitions.  Including these acquisitions, Premier expects fiscal 2016 capital expenditures of approximately $83 million and a consolidated EBITDA margin approximating 37-38%, as a result of our existing business mix shift and the impact of the acquisitions.   

Guidance also assumes performance consistent with the company’s current visibility into its annual revenue stream. Approximately $1.05 billion of Premier’s fiscal 2016 revenue is available under contract, based on Premier’s GPO retention and SaaS institutional renewal rates. 

The statements in this “Outlook and Guidance” discussion are “forward-looking statements.” For additional information regarding the use and limitations of such statements, see “Forward-Looking Statements” below and the “Risk Factors” section of the company’s Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2015.

Use and Definition of Non-GAAP Measures

Premier uses EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, segment adjusted EBITDA, adjusted fully distributed net income, adjusted fully distributed earnings per share, and free cash flow to facilitate a comparison of the company’s operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period and to provide measures that, when viewed in combination with its results prepared in accordance with GAAP, allow for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the company’s business than GAAP measures alone. The company believes adjusted EBITDA and segment adjusted EBITDA assist its board of directors, management and investors in comparing the company’s operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period by removing the impact of the company’s asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) and items outside the control of management (taxes), as well as other non-cash (impairment of intangible assets and purchase accounting adjustments) and non-recurring items, from operating results.

In addition, adjusted fully distributed net income eliminates the variability of non-controlling interest as a result of member owner exchanges of Class B common stock and corresponding Class B units into shares of Class A common stock (which exchanges are a member owner’s cumulative right, but not obligation, which began on October 31, 2014, and occur each quarter thereafter, and are limited to one-seventh of the member owner’s initial allocation of Class B common units) and other potentially dilutive equity transactions which are outside of management’s control. Adjusted fully distributed net income is defined as net income attributable to PHSI (i) excluding income tax expense, (ii) excluding the effect of non-recurring and non-cash items, (iii) assuming the exchange of all the Class B common units for shares of Class A common stock, which results in the elimination of non-controlling interest in Premier LP, and (iv) reflecting an adjustment for income tax expense on non-GAAP pro forma fully distributed net income before income taxes at the company’s estimated effective income tax rate.

EBITDA is defined as net income before interest and investment income, net, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization and amortization of purchased intangible assets. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before merger and acquisition related expenses and non-recurring, non-cash or non-operating items, and including equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates. Non-recurring items include certain strategic and financial restructuring expenses. Non-operating items include gain or loss on disposal of assets. Segment adjusted EBITDA is defined as the segment's net revenue less operating expenses directly attributable to the segment, excluding depreciation and amortization, amortization of purchased intangible assets, merger and acquisition related expenses and non-recurring or non-cash items, and including equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates. Operating expenses directly attributable to the segment include expenses associated with sales and marketing, general and administrative and product development activities specific to the operation of each segment. General and administrative corporate expenses that are not specific to a particular segment are not included in the calculation of segment adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental financial measure used by the company and by external users of the company’s financial statements.

Management considers adjusted EBITDA an indicator of the operational strength and performance of the company’s business. Adjusted EBITDA allows management to assess performance without regard to financing methods and capital structure and without the impact of other matters that management does not consider indicative of the operating performance of the business. Segment adjusted EBITDA is the primary earnings measure used by management to evaluate the performance of the company’s business segments.

Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities less distributions to limited partners and purchases of property and equipment, and payments to limited partners under tax receivable agreements. Management believes free cash flow is an important measure because it represents the cash that the company generates after payment of tax distributions to limited partners and capital investment to maintain existing products and services as well as development of new and upgraded products and services to support future growth. Free cash flow is important because it allows the Company to enhance shareholder value through acquisitions, partnerships, investments in related or complimentary businesses and debt reduction.
