BOWIE, Md., Jan. 11, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inovalon (Nasdaq: INOV), a leading provider of cloud-based platforms empowering data-driven healthcare, today announced preliminary fourth quarter 2020 results highlighting the growing wave of previously reported new sales contracts now converting into revenue resulting in sequential top-line growth of 17% with continued new sales ACV acceleration to an all-time quarterly record of $93.5 million, up 27% YoY and 60% sequentially. The substantive growth of previously reported sales now converting into compounding subscription-based platform revenue, together with strong client retention and renewal rates, and accelerating new sales provides further increased visibility into the Company’s strong revenue growth and profitability outlook for 2021 and beyond.
“We are very pleased with the Company’s execution in the fourth quarter as our teams brought previously announced new sales online. Simultaneously, we saw continued acceleration in demand for our expanding portfolio of cloud-based capabilities. Revenue climbed 17% sequentially while new sales ACV hit an all-time record of $93.5 million, continuing the layering progression of subscription-based growth,” said Keith Dunleavy, M.D., Inovalon’s chief executive officer and chairman of the board. “These dynamics, combined with strong contract renewals, client retention rates, underlying membership expansions, and product pricing strength brought by generating high value impact for our clients, are driving a very positive outlook for 2021 and beyond.”
Select Highlights: While additional information will be provided when Inovalon formally announces Q4 and Full Year 2020 results on February 3, 2021, the following preliminary select highlights are being provided:
- Record Sales: Inovalon achieved an all-time quarterly record in new sales Annual Contract Value (ACV) with $93.5 million in the fourth quarter, up 27% YoY and 60% sequentially. Platform new sales ACV (excluding services) totaled $68.2 million, up 30% YoY and 60% sequentially.
- Substantive Implementations Coming Online as Scheduled: Multiple previously reported large-scale platform sales began coming online as scheduled during Q4 2020, marking a leading edge of historical sales acceleration now converting into compounding subscription-based platform revenue.
- Extensive Strength in Payer Demand: The Company won significant new Inovalon ONE® Platform sales, renewals, and awards with five of the top-ten national health plans and multiple leading Blue Cross Blue Shield organizations during Q4 2020, including national-scale implementations and renewals of Inovalon’s ePASS® encounter decision-support toolset across physician offices, retail clinic sites, in-home visits, and virtual telehealth implementations across the country.
- Acceleration of Life Sciences Demand: Life sciences revenue growth accelerated during Q4 2020 in excess of 25% year-over-year, driven by, amongst other factors, substantive engagements for the Company’s recently announced vaccine adherence program and data support for the leading U.S. COVID-19 vaccine programs.
- Record Profitability and Operating Leverage: A combination of product mix shift, connectivity, automation, cloud-platform efficiency, and increasing contract renewal and retention metrics supported a continued expansion of profitability, with Adjusted EBITDA margin and trailing twelve month operating leverage improvement percentage2 of 35.4% to 36.3% and 81%, respectively.
- Improved Debt Interest Rates: Cash and cash equivalents increased to $123.9 million during Q4 2020 and the Company’s net-debt-ratio improved to 3.36x to 3.39x (down from 3.83x as of December 31, 2019), resulting in the automatic 25 basis point decrease of the interest rate margin paid by the Company.
- COVID-19 Non-Subscription Legacy and Services Business Update: Impact from COVID-19 remained stable during Q4 2020 with revenue contributed from legacy business equating to approximately 2% of total revenue for the quarter, reflecting a stable environment consistent with the Company’s internal expectations. Revenue contributed from services during Q4 2020 equated to approximately 11% of total revenue for the quarter, ahead of the Company’s internal expectations by approximately $2 million to $3 million.
“Our preliminary fourth quarter results reflect the continued growth and adoption of our Inovalon ONE® Platform, and its more predictable and higher margin subscription revenue base, as well as the continued shift away from less predictable lower margin legacy enterprise software revenue,” said Jonathan R. Boldt, chief financial officer of Inovalon. “We are pleased to be seeing the very positive operating efficiencies of our business model demonstrate themselves not only in value achievement for our clients, but also in strong profitability and significant operating leverage for the Company. As we have prudently invested in our platform capabilities, execution capacity, and the scaling of our sales capabilities, we are very pleased to be seeing both strong organic growth acceleration and continued expansion of profitability. While we are excited for 2021 and the growth we have already conveyed, we are also very pleased in what we are beginning to see beyond 2021 as well.”
2021 Financial Guidance
In the setting of record ACV growth in 2020, multiple substantive implementations coming online, an expanding subscription base, continued strong sales pipeline, solid contract renewals, and increasing operating efficiencies, Inovalon is reiterating the following guidance for 2021 as outlined within the table below.
| Financial Metric | 2021 Guidance Provided October 28, 2020 and reiterated on January 11, 2021 | Change From Full Year 2020 Guidance Midpoint | ||

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Inovalon provides the measures Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Non-GAAP net income as additional information for evaluating the Company’s operating results. These measures are not prepared in accordance with, or as an alternative for, GAAP accounting and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
Investors frequently have requested information from management regarding depreciation, amortization and other non-cash charges, such as stock-based compensation, as well as the impact of non-comparable items and management believes, based on discussions with investors, that these non-GAAP measures enhance investors’ ability to assess Inovalon’s historical and projected future financial performance. While management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors, there are limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures. For example, one limitation of Adjusted EBITDA is that it excludes depreciation and amortization, which represents the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in our business. Inovalon compensates for these limitations by using these non-GAAP financial measures as supplements to GAAP financial measures and by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measures that are provided above.
These non-GAAP measures include financial information that is prepared in accordance with GAAP and presented in our consolidated financial statements and are used to evaluate our business, measure our performance, develop financial forecasts and make strategic decisions and are an important factor in determining variable compensation.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for the impact of depreciation and amortization, other expense, net, interest income, interest expense, provision for income taxes, stock-based compensation, acquisition costs (including transaction costs, integration costs, costs related to contingent consideration accretion and compensatory contingent consideration), restructuring expense, tax on equity exercises, and other non-comparable items. The Company is still evaluating the tax impact of its fourth quarter 2020 results and will provide a further update in its fourth quarter and full year 2020 earnings release on February 3, 2021. As a result, the Company has provided a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to income before taxes above for the preliminary fourth quarter 2020 financial information. The only adjustment from income before taxes to net income not reflected in the reconciliation above is provision for taxes.
Adjusted EBITDA margin is the Company’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, divided by revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP.
The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as supplemental measures of performance to gain insight into operating effectiveness. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as key metrics to assess its ability to increase revenues while controlling expense growth and the scalability of the Company’s business model. The Company believes that the exclusion of the expenses eliminated in calculating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin provides management and investors a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s core business and operating results by excluding items that are not comparable across reporting periods or that do not otherwise relate to the Company’s ongoing operating results. Accordingly, the Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating the Company’s operating results. However, use of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as analytical tools has limitations, and investors and others should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in Inovalon’s industry, might calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin or similarly titled measures differently, which may reduce their usefulness as comparative measures.
Non-GAAP net income and Non-GAAP net income per share
The Company defines Non-GAAP net income as net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to exclude tax-affected stock-based compensation expense, acquisition costs (including transaction costs, integration costs, costs related to contingent consideration accretion and compensatory contingent consideration), restructuring expense, amortization of acquired and purchased intangible assets, amortization of debt issuance costs and debt discount, tax on equity exercises, and other non-comparable items.
The Company defines Non-GAAP basic net income per share as Non-GAAP net income divided by basic weighted average shares outstanding. The Company defines Non-GAAP diluted net income per share as Non-GAAP net income divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
The Company uses Non-GAAP net income as a supplemental measure of performance to gain insight into financial effectiveness. The Company uses Non-GAAP net income as a key metric to assess its ability to increase revenues while controlling expense growth and the scalability of its business model. The Company believes that the exclusion of the expenses eliminated in calculating Non-GAAP net income provides management and investors a useful measure for period to period comparisons of the Company’s core business and financial results by excluding items that are not comparable across reporting periods or that do not otherwise relate to its ongoing financial results. Accordingly, the Company believes that Non-GAAP net income provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating the Company’s performance. However, use of Non-GAAP net income as an analytical tool has limitations, and investors and others should not consider this measure in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s financial results as reported under GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in Inovalon’s industry, might calculate Non-GAAP net income or similarly titled measures differently, which may reduce their usefulness as comparative measures.
