Performant Financial Corporation Announces Financial Results for First Quarter 2022

Performant Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: PFMT) (the "Company"), a leading provider of technology-enabled audit, recovery, and related analytics services in the United States with a focus in the healthcare payment integrity services industry, today reported the following financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2022:

First Quarter Financial Highlights

  • Total revenues of $27.1 million, compared to revenues of $31.4 million in the prior year period.
  • Healthcare revenues of $23.4 million, compared to $13.3 million in the prior year period, an increase of 76%
  • Net loss of approximately $1.7 million, or $(0.02) per diluted share, compared to net loss of $4.4 million, or $(0.08) per diluted share, in the prior year period.
  • Adjusted net loss was $1.1 million, or $(0.02) per diluted share, compared to adjusted net loss of $2.8 million, or $(0.05) per diluted share, in the prior year period.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $0.3 million, compared to $(0.2) million in the prior year period.

First Quarter 2022 Results

Total revenues in the first quarter were $27.1 million, a decrease of $4.3 million, or 14% from revenues of $31.4 million in the prior year period. Excluding the $14.5 million that we reported in the first quarter of 2021 from our shuttered Recovery markets business, total revenues grew over 60% year-over-year. Healthcare revenues in the first quarter of 2022 were $23.4 million, an increase of $10.1 million, or 76%, from revenues of $13.3 million in the prior year period. Within Healthcare, claims-based services revenue in the first quarter of 2022 was $9.1 million, while revenue from eligibility-based services in the first quarter was $14.2 million.

“In the first quarter we reported our strongest ever first quarter for healthcare revenues driven by the continued growth from our fully implemented SOWs as well as the contribution from some of the 33 program implementations that we've announced over the past five quarters,” stated Simeon Kohl, President of Performant. “In addition, we were awarded the HHS OIG IDIQ Contract for Medical Review and Consultative Services as well as the award for Region 2 of the Medicare Fee for Service Recovery Audit Program, but we anticipate a delay before the latter contract kicks off as the award is currently under review by CMS related to the incumbent contractor’s protest.”

Recovery revenues in the first quarter were $0.1 million, a decrease of $14.4 million, or 99%, from revenues of $14.5 million in the prior year period. Revenues from our Customer Care / Outsourced Services in the first quarter were $3.6 million, flat when compared to the prior year period.

Net loss for the first quarter was $1.7 million, or $(0.02) per share on a diluted basis, compared to a net loss of $4.4 million, or $(0.08) per share on a diluted basis, in the prior year period. Adjusted net loss for the first quarter was $1.1 million, or $(0.02) per share on a diluted basis, compared to adjusted net loss of $2.8 million, or $(0.05) per diluted share, in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter was $0.3 million as compared to $(0.2) million in the prior year period.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of approximately $19.6 million.

“Given our achievements in the first quarter and known opportunities ahead of us that we believe we can execute upon, we are quite pleased with how we are tracking toward both the current year expectations and more importantly, our long term goals. We remain optimistic about improving trends in core utilization and the return to normal from COVID but acknowledge that COVID variant uncertainty and uncertainty in the macro affairs of an ever connected world may impact utilization rates. That said, we are pleased to amend our current views on Healthcare revenue and believe that we can achieve $92-$96MM in Healthcare market revenues in 2022, with Customer Care market revenues being flat to slightly down. We are leaving our EBITDA guidance intact at $2-$4 million for 2022 until we can gain further clarity on the timing and ramp-speed of the RAC Region 2 contract to provide a more informed update,” stated Rohit Ramchandani, Senior Vice President of Finance and Strategy at Performant.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this press release, to supplement our consolidated financial statements, the Company presents adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share. These measures are not in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) and accordingly reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss) to net income (loss) determined in accordance with US GAAP are included in the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Results” table at the end of this press release. We have included adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss) in this press release because they are key measures used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends and to prepare and approve our annual budget. Accordingly, we believe that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss) provide useful information to investors and analysts in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. Our use of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss) has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under US GAAP. In particular, many of the adjustments to our US GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of items, specifically interest, tax and depreciation and amortization expenses, equity-based compensation expense and certain other non-operating expenses, that are recurring and will be reflected in our financial results for the foreseeable future. In addition, these measures may be calculated differently from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding the Company's outlook for revenues, net income (loss), and adjusted EBITDA in 2022 and beyond. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections that are subject to change and actual results may differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, the material adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition as well as on the business operations and financial performance of many of its customers, that the Company faces a long period to implement a new contract which may result in the incurring of expenses before the receipt of revenues from new client relationships, that downturns in domestic or global economic conditions and other macroeconomic factors could harm the Company’s business and results of operations, that the Company may not have sufficient cash flows from operations to fund ongoing operations and other liquidity needs, that the high level of revenue concentration among the Company's largest customers and any termination in the Company’s relationship with any of its significant clients would result in a material decline in revenues, that many of the Company's customer contracts are subject to periodic renewal, are not exclusive, do not provide for committed business volumes and may be changed or terminated unilaterally and on short notice, that the Company may not be able to manage its potential growth effectively, that the Company faces significant competition in all of its markets, that limitations on the scope of the Company's audit activity under its claims audit contracts may reduce revenue opportunities, that the U.S. federal government accounts for a significant portion of the Company's revenues, that the Company’s indebtedness could adversely affect its business and financial condition and could reduce the funds available for other purposes and the failure to comply with covenants contained in its credit agreement could result in an event of default that could adversely affect its results of operations, that future legislative and regulatory changes may have significant effects on the Company's business, that failure of the Company's or third parties' operating systems and technology infrastructure could disrupt the operation of the Company's business and the threat of breach of the Company's security measures or failure or unauthorized access to confidential data that the Company possesses. More information on potential factors that could affect the Company's financial condition and operating results is included from time to time in the "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" sections of the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and subsequently filed reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K.
