MORRISVILLE, N.C., Nov. 04, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Syneos Health (Nasdaq:SYNH), the only fully integrated biopharmaceutical solutions organization, today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

“We are disappointed in our third quarter results, as we experienced more significant headwinds in net awards, revenue and margins in the quarter than we had anticipated. We are taking decisive actions to address these issues — including accelerating Clinical Reimagined, enhancing business development, improving visibility and increasing efficiency — in order to improve our performance moving forward,” said Michelle Keefe, CEO, Syneos Health. “While these initiatives are a top priority, we are continuing to leverage our unique product development model to drive differentiation and achieve sustainable, long-term growth. We remain confident in our ability to thrive in a growing market as we execute on our vision of becoming the premier biopharma solutions provider.”

Third Quarter 2022 Results

Revenue of $1,336.2 million decreased 0.9% on a reported basis and increased 2.2% on a constant currency basis for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same period in the prior year. Revenue was below the Company's guidance primarily due to the impact of lower net new business awards, delays in backlog conversion and customer delays in its FSP business within Clinical Solutions. Clinical Solutions revenue decreased 3.5% on a reported basis and 0.2% on a constant currency basis to $1,003.3 million. Acquisitions contributed approximately 80 basis points to Clinical Solutions reported revenue growth. Commercial Solutions revenue increased 8.0% on a reported basis and 10.6% on a constant currency basis to $333.0 million. Prior period segment results have been recast to conform to insignificant changes to management reporting in 2022.

GAAP net income for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased 11.3% to $87.0 million, resulting in diluted earnings per share of $0.84, compared to GAAP net income of $78.2 million, or diluted earnings per share of $0.75, for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Adjusted net income for the three months ended September 30, 2022 decreased 0.4% to $127.3 million, resulting in adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.23, compared to adjusted net income of $127.8 million, or adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.22, for the three months ended September 30, 2021. GAAP net income and GAAP diluted earnings per share were above the Company's guidance primarily due to other income from foreign currency gains.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased 3.7% to $210.0 million from the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share were below the Company's guidance primarily due to the impact of lower than expected revenue, partially offset by cost reductions.

Year-to-Date 2022 Results

Revenue of $4,033.2 million increased 5.0% on a reported basis and 7.2% on a constant currency basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same period in the prior year. Clinical Solutions revenue increased 2.5% on a reported basis and 4.8% on a constant currency basis to $3,047.3 million. Acquisitions contributed approximately 90 basis points to Clinical Solutions reported revenue growth. Commercial Solutions revenue increased 13.7% on a reported basis and 15.5% on a constant currency basis to $985.9 million.

GAAP net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased 32.8% to $211.0 million, resulting in diluted earnings per share of $2.04, compared to GAAP net income of $158.9 million, or diluted earnings per share of $1.51, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Adjusted net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased 15.6% to $361.4 million, resulting in adjusted diluted earnings per share of $3.49, compared to adjusted net income of $312.7 million, or adjusted diluted earnings per share of $2.98, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased 12.0% to $591.7 million from the prior year.

Cash flows provided by operating activities were $132.4 million and $303.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company made $25.0 million of voluntary prepayments on its term loan and repaid the remaining outstanding balance on its revolving credit facility. The Company’s Net Leverage Ratio was 3.2x based on trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company did not repurchase any common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company repurchased $150.0 million of common stock and has $350.0 million of remaining share repurchase authorization available through December 31, 2024.

Full Year 2022 Business Outlook

The Company updated its full year 2022 guidance for revenue primarily to reflect the impact of lower net new business awards, delays in backlog conversion, and customer delays in its FSP business within Clinical Solutions, along with the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations. The Company updated its full year 2022 guidance for GAAP Net Income, GAAP diluted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS primarily to reflect lower expected revenue and the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

The Company's guidance takes into account a number of factors, including existing backlog, current sales pipeline, trends in cancellations and delays, trends in reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses, and the Company’s ForwardBound initiative, which includes expansion of the Syneos Operations Network, process optimization, workforce management and automation initiatives. In addition, the guidance presented below represents the Company’s best efforts to estimate economic trends, including inflation, expected interest rates, the impact of COVID-19, and the war in Ukraine on its business. Furthermore, the guidance presented below is based on foreign currency exchange rates as of September 30, 2022, expected interest rates, and the Company's expected non-GAAP effective tax rate of approximately 23.5% for the year ending December 31, 2022. The guidance is based upon the Company's estimated number of weighted average diluted shares outstanding and does not take into account any share repurchases beyond the third quarter of 2022. The Company's full year 2022 guidance is outlined below:

The Company assumes no obligation and does not intend to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Operating Metrics

In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net income (including adjusted diluted earnings per share), EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and non-GAAP effective income tax rate. We also present revenue growth in constant currency. Constant currency revenue growth is defined as revenues for a given period restated at the comparative period's foreign currency exchange rates measured against the comparative period's revenues. Constant currency segment revenue growth is defined as revenue for a given period restated at the comparative period’s foreign currency exchange rates measured against the comparative period’s revenues.

A “non-GAAP financial measure” is generally defined as a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance that excludes or includes amounts from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statements of operations, balance sheets, or statements of cash flows of the Company.

The Company defines adjusted net income (including adjusted diluted earnings per share) as net income (including diluted earnings per share) excluding acquisition-related amortization; restructuring and other costs; transaction, integration-related and other expenses; share-based compensation expense; gain or loss on extinguishment of debt; other income (expense), net; and the income tax effect of the above adjustments.

EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, further adjusted to exclude expenses and transactions that the Company believes are not representative of its core operations, namely: restructuring and other costs; transaction, integration-related and other expenses; share-based compensation expense; other income (expense), net; and gain or loss on extinguishment of debt. The Company presents EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA because it believes they are useful metrics for investors as they are commonly used by investors, analysts and debt holders to measure the Company's ability to fund capital expenditures and meet working capital requirements.

Net Leverage represents total debt less cash and cash equivalents divided by trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA.

Each of the non-GAAP measures noted above are used by management and the Board to evaluate the Company's core operating results because they exclude certain items whose fluctuations from period-to-period do not necessarily correspond to changes in the core operations of the business. Adjusted net income (including adjusted diluted earnings per share) and adjusted EBITDA are used by management and the Board to assess the performance of the Company's business.

Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Also, other companies might calculate these measures differently. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures included in this press release and the accompanying tables.

We also present certain key operating metrics excluding reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses, due to our expectations that reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses as a percentage of revenue will remain lower relative to pre-pandemic levels. Specifically, Clinical Solutions book-to-bill ratio excluding reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses, represents Clinical Solutions net new business awards, excluding reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses, divided by Clinical Solutions revenue, excluding reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses, in each case for the respective period. Commercial Solutions book-to-bill ratio excluding reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses, represents Commercial Solutions net new business awards, excluding reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses, divided by Commercial Solutions revenue, excluding reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses, in each case for the respective period. Segment operating metrics such as backlog, net new business awards and book-to-bill ratio are not necessarily indicative of future financial results and are subject to change due to cancellations, changes in project scope or delays.

  3. Represents fees associated with acquisitions, stock repurchases and secondary stock offerings, debt placement and refinancings, and other corporate costs that management believes are not representative of our operating performance, including implementation costs associated with a new enterprise resource planning system and incremental costs resulting from the war in Ukraine.

  4. Represents non-cash share-based compensation expense related to awards granted under equity incentive plans.

  5. Other income, net is comprised primarily of foreign currency exchange gains and losses, other gains and losses related to investments, and contingent consideration related to divested businesses.
