Premier, Inc. Reports Fiscal-Year 2021 Third-Quarter Results and Raises Fiscal Year 2021 Guidance

Premier, Inc. (NASDAQ: PINC) today reported financial results for the fiscal year (FY) 2021 third quarter ended March 31, 2021 and raised its fiscal 2021 financial guidance.

"I am excited to take the reins as Premier's new CEO and am pleased with our fiscal 2021 third quarter performance. Our results demonstrate our continued focus on execution and the differentiated solutions we deliver to our members and other customers that help them deliver and provide access to higher quality, more cost-effective healthcare," said Michael J. Alkire, Premier's president and CEO. "Products revenue grew significantly quarter-over-quarter and helped mitigate the impact on our net administrative fees revenue from ongoing lower utilization as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic."

Alkire continued, "Based on our third quarter results and our outlook for the remainder of fiscal 2021, we are raising our fiscal 2021 guidance. As we look ahead, we believe we are well-positioned to continue executing our strategy, while at the same time helping our members navigate the challenges of the pandemic, to drive long-term, sustainable growth and value to all our stakeholders."

*The company does not provide forward-looking guidance on a GAAP basis as certain financial information, the probable significance of which cannot be determined, is not available and cannot be reasonably estimated. Refer to "Use of Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Measures" below for additional explanation.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021

(As compared with the three months ended March 31, 2020)

GAAP net revenue of $469.9 million increased 40% from $334.8 million for the same period a year ago.

GAAP net income of $51.4 million decreased from $73.2 million a year ago primarily related to lower net administrative fees revenue as a result of the amended GPO agreements and non-cash amortization of prepaid contract administrative fees from the Acurity/Nexera asset acquisition, partially offset by a reduction in the loss on certain put and call rights in the current period associated with Premier's minority investment in FFF Enterprises.

Adjusted EBITDA of $121.2 million decreased 22% from $155.9 million for the same period a year ago primarily as a result of the impact of the aforementioned amended GPO agreements and the non-cash amortization of prepaid contract administrative fees from the Acurity/Nexera asset acquisition.

Adjusted net income of $78.5 million decreased 12% from $88.9 million for the same period a year ago. Adjusted earnings per share decreased 12% to $0.64 from $0.73 for the same period a year ago.

Segment Results

(For the fiscal third quarter of 2021 as compared with the fiscal third quarter of 2020)

Supply Chain Services

Supply Chain Services segment net revenue of $371.2 million increased 56% from $238.6 million for the same quarter a year ago.

Net administrative fees revenue of $146.6 million decreased $27.5 million, or 16%, from $174.0 million a year ago, primarily due to the amended GPO agreements, the non-cash amortization of prepaid contract administrative fees from the Acurity/Nexera asset acquisition and the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. These decreases were partially offset by the addition of new members and further penetration of existing member spend.

Products revenue of $216.0 million increased $154.8 million, or 253%, from $61.2 million a year ago, primarily driven by growth in commodity products and aggregated purchasing of certain other products as well as the company's ongoing efforts to provide certain personal protective equipment (PPE) and other high-demand supplies for its members as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Segment adjusted EBITDA of $117.9 million decreased 21% from $149.2 million for the same period a year ago, primarily as a result of the previously mentioned decline in net administrative fees revenue related to the amended GPO agreements and the non-cash amortization of prepaid contract administrative fees from the Acurity/Nexera asset acquisition.

Performance Services

Performance Services segment net revenue of $98.7 million increased 3% from $96.2 million for the same quarter a year ago, primarily driven by incremental revenue in the Contigo Health business related to the acquisition of Health Design Plus in May 2020, growth in life sciences business and growth in the cost management and performance improvement consulting businesses. These increases were partially offset by lower revenue associated with enterprise analytics license agreements executed during the current period as compared to the prior year period which included significant revenue from enterprise analytics license agreements entered into during the prior year quarter. In addition, the increases were partially offset by lower revenue as a result of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) planned discontinuation of the company’s former CMS government contract as part of the overall Hospital Improvement Innovation Network program that ended on March 31, 2020.

Segment adjusted EBITDA of $36.0 million increased 4% from $34.6 million for the same period a year ago primarily due to the aforementioned increase in revenue.

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2021

(As compared with the nine months ended March 31, 2020)

GAAP net revenue of $1,239.6 million increased 30% from $956.8 million for the same period a year ago.

GAAP net income was $277.0 million, an increase of 18%, compared with $235.7 million a year ago. In accordance with GAAP, fiscal 2021 and 2020 nine-month net income attributable to stockholders includes non-cash adjustments of $(26.7) million and $516.7 million, respectively, to reflect the change in the redemption value of limited partners’ Class B common unit ownership at the end of each period. These non-cash adjustments resulted primarily from changes in the number of Class B common units outstanding and the company’s stock price between periods and do not reflect results of the company’s business operations. The adjustment for nine months ended March 31, 2021 reflects the change in the redemption value of limited partners’ Class B common unit ownership for the period from July 1, 2020 through July 31, 2020, due to the Board of Directors being comprised of a majority of independent directors on July 31, 2020. As a result, Premier will no longer make this adjustment in subsequent periods.

After the previously mentioned non-cash adjustments, the company reported net income attributable to stockholders of $234.4 million compared with net income of $620.3 million a year ago. On a diluted per share basis, net income was $2.03 compared with $1.66 for the same period a year ago. See “Calculation of GAAP Earnings per Share” in the income statement section of this press release.

Adjusted EBITDA of $356.8 million decreased 20% from $444.6 million for the same period the prior year. Adjusted net income of $232.0 million decreased 13% from $265.7 million for the same period a year ago. Adjusted earnings per share decreased 12% to $1.89 from $2.14 for the same period a year ago.

Supply Chain Services segment net revenue of $953.9 million increased 37% from $694.3 million for the same quarter a year ago. Supply Chain Services segment adjusted EBITDA of $339.5 million decreased 24% from $447.1 million for the same period a year ago.

Performance Services segment net revenue of $285.7 million increased 9% from $262.5 million for the same quarter a year ago. Performance Services segment adjusted EBITDA of $109.7 million increased 29% from $85.0 million for the same period a year ago.

Cash Flows and Liquidity

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 was $192.4 million compared with $248.1 million for the same period last year. The decrease was primarily driven by lower net administrative fees revenue as a result of the amended GPO agreements and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, changes in working capital, including higher levels of inventory, primarily driven by the impact of aggregated purchasing of PPE as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic impacted net cash provided by operating activities.

Net cash used in investing activities and net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 were $149.3 million and $9.8 million, respectively. At March 31, 2021, cash and cash equivalents was $132.6 million compared with $99.3 million at June 30, 2020, and the company's five-year, $1.0 billion revolving credit facility had an outstanding balance of $200.0 million, of which $75 million was repaid in April 2021.

Free cash flow for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 was $91.3 million compared with $213.9 million for the same period a year ago. The decrease was primarily due to the same factors that impacted net cash provided by operating activities as well as payments made to former limited partners of Premier LP in connection with the termination of the Tax Receivable Agreement as part of the company's restructure in August 2020. These factors were partially offset by the elimination of tax distributions to limited partners also as a result of the restructure.

Premier’s Use and Definition of Non-GAAP Measures

Premier uses EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, segment adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (historically referred to as "adjusted fully distributed net income"), adjusted earnings per share (historically referred to as "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. Management believes EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and segment adjusted EBITDA assist the company’s 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. Adjusted EBITDA and segment adjusted EBITDA are supplemental financial measures 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.

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 and ongoing business operations, 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 stockholder value through acquisitions, partnerships, joint ventures, investments in related or complimentary businesses and/or debt reduction.

In addition, adjusted fully distributed net income and adjusted fully distributed earnings per share eliminate the variability of non-controlling interest as a result of member owner exchanges of Class B common units and corresponding Class B common stock into shares of Class A common stock and other potentially dilutive equity transactions which are outside of management’s control. These measures assist our board of directors, management and investors in comparing our net income and earnings per share on a consistent basis from period to period because these measures remove non-cash and non-recurring items and eliminate the variability of non-controlling interest that results from member owner exchanges of Class B common units into shares of Class A common stock.

Non-Recurring Items are items to be income or expenses and other items that have not been earned or incurred within the prior two years and are not expected to recur within the next two years. Such items include stock-based compensation, acquisition and disposition related expenses, remeasurement of TRA liabilities, loss on disposal of long-live assets, gain or loss on FFF put and call rights, income and expense that has been classified as discontinued operations and other expense.

Non-operating items include gains or losses on the disposal of assets and interest and investment income or expense.

EBITDA is defined as net income before income or loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, 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.

Segment adjusted EBITDA is defined as the segment’s net revenue less cost of revenue and 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. Segment Adjusted EBITDA also excludes any income and expense that has been classified as discontinued operations.

Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income attributable to Premier (i) excluding income or loss from discontinued operations, net, (ii) excluding income tax expense, (iii) excluding the impact of adjustment of redeemable limited partners’ capital to redemption amount, (iv) excluding the effect of non-recurring or non-cash items, including certain strategic and financial restructuring expenses, (v) 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 (vi) reflecting an adjustment for income tax expense on Non-GAAP net income before income taxes at our estimated annual effective income tax rate, adjusted for unusual or infrequent items.

Adjusted Earnings per Share is Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted weighted average shares.

Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations less distributions and TRA payments to limited partners and purchases of property and equipment. Free Cash Flow does not represent discretionary cash available for spending as it excludes certain contractual obligations such as debt repayments.

To properly and prudently evaluate our business, readers are urged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures, as well as the other financial tables, included at the end of this release. Readers should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the company’s business. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures used in this release are susceptible to varying calculations and may differ from, and may therefore not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Further information on Premier’s use of non-GAAP financial measures is available in the “Our Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of Premier’s Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), as may be updated in subsequent filings with the SEC.

Premier's Use of Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Measures

The company does not meaningfully reconcile guidance for non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share to net income attributable to stockholders or earnings per share attributable to stockholders because the company cannot provide guidance for the more significant reconciling items between net income attributable to stockholders and adjusted EBITDA and between earnings per share attributable to stockholders and non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share without unreasonable effort. This is due to the fact that future period non-GAAP guidance includes adjustments for items not indicative of our core operations, which may include, without limitation, items included in the supplemental financial information for reconciliation of reported GAAP results to non-GAAP results. Such items include strategic and acquisition related expenses for professional fees; mark to market adjustments for put options and contingent liabilities; gains and losses on stock based performance shares; adjustments to its income tax provision (such as valuation allowance adjustments and settlements of income tax claims); items related to corporate and facility restructurings; and certain other items the company believes to be non-indicative of its ongoing operations. Such adjustments may be affected by changes in ongoing assumptions, judgements, as well as nonrecurring, unusual or unanticipated charges, expenses or gains/losses or other items that may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations. The exact amount of these adjustments are not currently determinable but may be significant.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Statements made in this release that are not statements of historical or current facts, such as those related to the timing and continuing impact of COVID-19, the ability to execute our strategy and drive long-term, sustainable growth and value to all our stakeholders, the statements related to fiscal 2021 outlook and guidance and the key assumptions underlying such guidance, and expected target multi-year, compound annual growth rate in the mid-to-high single digits for consolidated net revenue, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS beginning in fiscal year 2022 are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Premier to be materially different from historical results or from any future results or projections expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. In addition to statements that explicitly describe such risks and uncertainties, readers are urged to consider statements in the conditional or future tenses or that include terms such as “believes,” “belief,” “expects,” “estimates,” “intends,” “anticipates” or “plans” to be uncertain and forward-looking. Forward-looking statements may include comments as to Premier’s beliefs and expectations as to future events and trends affecting its business and are necessarily subject to uncertainties, many of which are outside Premier’s control. More information on potential factors that could affect Premier’s financial results is included from time to time in the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of Premier’s periodic and current filings with the SEC, including those discussed under the “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” section of Premier’s Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020 as well as the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, expected to be filed with the SEC shortly after the date of this release, and also made available on Premier’s website at investors.premierinc.com. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and Premier undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or future events that occur after that date, or otherwise.
