“Premier delivered continued growth across our businesses in the fiscal
first quarter, reflecting the vital role we play in helping healthcare
providers navigate through this increasingly challenging healthcare
environment,” said Susan DeVore, president and chief executive officer,
Premier. “Consolidated revenue exceeded our expectations, delivering
growth in non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of 8%. Operationally, our overall
sales performance was strong, we continued to successfully recruit
academic health systems to our alliance, and we successfully renewed our
five-year, group-purchasing agreements with member owners. As we
announced in early October, approximately 93% of the company’s fiscal
2017 net administrative fees revenue associated with existing members is
covered by group purchasing agreements that have been renewed, extended
or initially had terms longer than five years. We expect the vast
majority of our member owners to have renewed or extended their group
purchasing agreements at the same or similar economics prior to the Oct.
1, 2018 renewal date.
“Amid these ongoing successes, first-quarter revenue growth in our group
purchasing business was slower than expected, which pressured our
profitability growth,” DeVore said. “Our group purchasing business was
negatively impacted by slower hospital patient volumes, which we believe
are transitory and tied to regulatory uncertainty, as well as the
seasonal timing effect of consumer decision making around elective
procedures. Timing of cash receipts and some slower growth in certain
service lines also impacted net administrative fees revenue growth.
“While we continue to monitor these trends, we are maintaining our
full-year fiscal 2018 guidance range, which accounts for the potential
impact of a softer patient utilization environment,” DeVore said. “Our
other businesses are performing within management expectations and we
will appropriately manage costs in this environment, while also
leveraging the multiple drivers of our business model to generate
long-term growth.
“Looking forward, we believe Premier remains uniquely well-positioned
with a comprehensive total-value proposition that delivers data-driven
actionable insights required by healthcare providers to succeed over the
long term,” DeVore continued. “Our strong balance sheet and cash flow
enable us to continue to focus on our long-term growth strategies while
also returning value to our stockholders, as evidenced by our expected
$200 million Class A common stock repurchase plan that we recently
announced.”

For the fiscal first quarter ended Sept. 30, 2017, Premier generated net
revenue of $390.6 million, an increase of 25%, from net revenue of
$313.3 million for the same period a year ago.
Net income for the fiscal first quarter was $60.6 million, compared with
$58.1 million for the same period a year ago. In accordance with GAAP,
fiscal 2018 and 2017 first-quarter net income attributable to
stockholders included non-cash adjustments of $320.4 million and $61.8
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 result primarily from changes in the
number of Class B common shares outstanding and the company’s stock
price between periods and do not reflect results of the company’s
business operations. After these non-cash adjustments, the company
reported net income attributable to stockholders of $336.4 million,
compared with $70.3 million for the same period a year ago.
First-quarter diluted earnings per share, which is based on net income
adjusted for the tax expense related to Premier Inc. retaining the
portion of net income attributable to income from non-controlling
interest in Premier LP, rose to $0.36 from $0.26 for the same period a
year ago. See “Calculation of GAAP Earnings per Share” in the income
statement section of this press release.
Fiscal first-quarter non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $119.2 million
increased 8% from $110.8 million for the same period the prior year.
Non-GAAP adjusted fully distributed net income for the fiscal first
quarter increased 5% to $61.7 million from $58.9 million for the same
period a year ago. Adjusted fully distributed earnings per share
increased to $0.44 from $0.41 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 stockholders as if all Class B stockholders
exchanged their Class B common units and associated Class B common
shares for Class A common shares.
Segment Results
Supply Chain Services
For the fiscal first quarter
ended Sept. 30, 2017, the Supply Chain Services segment generated net
revenue of $305.8 million, an increase of 31% from $233.8 million a year
ago. The increase was driven by growth in the company’s group purchasing
organization (GPO) and products businesses. GPO net administrative fees
revenue of $151.0 million increased $25.0 million, or 20%, from a year
ago primarily driven by contributions of $22.6 million from the
Innovatix and Essensa businesses, which were acquired in December 2016.
Further contract penetration of existing members also contributed to the
increase. Net administrative fee revenue growth in the first quarter was
negatively impacted by softer patient utilization trends, timing of cash
receipts, and slower growth in certain service lines when compared with
the same period a year ago. Product revenues of $152.7 million increased
44% from $106.1 million a year ago, largely attributable to incremental
contributions from the Acro Pharmaceuticals business acquired in late
August 2016, as well as an increase in sales of certain limited
distribution drugs dispensed to treat Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis,
Multiple Sclerosis and Oncology, partially offset by a slight decrease
in the sales of Hepatitis-C pharmaceuticals. Products revenues also
benefited from increased sales of direct sourcing products.
Supply Chain Services segment non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $125.6 million
for the fiscal 2018 first quarter increased 7% from $117.3 million for
the same period a year ago. The increase was largely the result of
growth in net administrative fees revenue, primarily from contributions
related to the Innovatix and Essensa acquisition along with an increase
in product revenues. The contribution from Innovatix and Essensa is net
of the reduction in equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates as
a result of the acquisition of the remaining 50% of Innovatix, given the
company historically accounted for its 50% interest in Innovatix as
income from an unconsolidated affiliate. These increases were partially
offset by increased product costs, selling, general and administrative
(SG&A) expenses associated with increased staffing as a result of
prior-year acquisitions and to support growth.
Performance Services
For the fiscal first quarter
ended Sept. 30, 2017, the Performance Services segment generated net
revenue of $84.8 million, an increase of 7% from $79.5 million for the
same quarter last year. The growth was primarily driven by
cost-management advisory services related to performance-based
engagements, as well as growth in SaaS-based informatics subscriptions,
applied science services and government services related revenue.
While first-quarter Performance Services revenue increased, segment
non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $21.2 million decreased 5% from $22.3
million for the same quarter last year, primarily as a result of an
increase in cost of sales related to an increase in staffing and costs
to support continued growth and performance-based engagements.
Specifically, the company made investments in staff and infrastructure
to support continuing new-business growth involving primarily larger and
more complex engagements that include significant performance-based
advisory services assignments.
Cash Flows and Liquidity
Cash provided by operating activities was $75.0 million for the fiscal
first quarter ended Sept. 30, 2017, compared with $41.8 million for the
same quarter last year. The increase in cash flow from operations was
primarily driven by an increase in net administrative fees as well as
decreased outflows related to working capital needs, partially offset by
increased SG&A expenses in the current period. At Sept. 30, 2017, the
company’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $132.1 million, compared
with $156.7 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short- and long-term
marketable securities at June 30, 2017. At Sept. 30, 2017, the company
had an outstanding balance of $170.0 million on its five-year $750.0
million revolving credit facility. During the fiscal first quarter, the
company repaid $50.0 million of borrowing under the credit facility.
Non-GAAP free cash flow for the fiscal first quarter ended Sept. 30,
2017 was $33.4 million, compared with free cash flow of $2.4 million for
the same period a year ago. The increase in free cash flow results from
the same factors driving the growth in cash flow from operations. Given
the company’s fiscal year end in June and payment of certain expenses
including annual incentives in the fiscal first quarter, free cash flow
is generally lower in this period than in subsequent quarters of the
fiscal year. The company defines free cash flow as cash provided by
operating activities less quarterly tax distributions and annual tax
receivable agreement payments to limited partners and purchases of
property and equipment (see free cash flow reconciliation to net cash
provided by operating activities in the tables section of this press
release).
Fiscal 2018 Outlook and Guidance
Based on results for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2017 and
management’s current expectations for the remainder of fiscal 2018,
management is maintaining the fiscal-year 2018 financial guidance ranges
that were established Aug. 21, 2017, subject to the realization of the
assumptions underlying that guidance. To the extent the company
implements all or part of the previously announced $200 million stock
repurchase program and assuming no change to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA
guidance, Non-GAAP adjusted fully distributed EPS guidance would be
positively impacted.

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. Non-recurring items are
income or expenses or 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 certain strategic and financial
restructuring expenses.
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 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 per year) 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 Premier (i) excluding income tax expense, (ii) excluding
the impact of adjustment of redeemable limited partners’ capital to
redemption amount, (iii) excluding the effect of non-recurring and
non-cash items, (iv) 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 (v)
reflecting an adjustment for income tax expense on non-GAAP fully
distributed net income before income taxes at the company’s estimated
effective income tax rate. We define adjusted fully distributed earnings
per share as adjusted fully distributed net income divided by diluted
weighted average shares. 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.
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 the disposal of assets. 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. 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 net cash provided by operating activities
less distributions and tax receivable agreement 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. 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.
Readers are urged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP
financial measures included at the end of this release. To properly and
prudently evaluate our business, readers are encouraged to review the
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.
Forward-Looking Statements

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

and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” section of
Premier’s Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2017, as well as the
