On a pro forma basis, Premier generated net revenue of $199.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2014, an increase of $18.2 million, or 10.1%, from $181.1 million reported for the same period last year. The primary drivers of revenue growth were improved product revenue sales within the Supply Chain Services segment and increased SaaS (software as a service) informatics product subscriptions and advisory services within the Performance Services segment.  

On a pro forma basis, the company generated non-GAAP adjusted fully distributed net income of $44.0 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2014, compared with $41.9 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA was $83.1 million, an increase of 7.6% from first quarter a year earlier. Adjusted fully distributed net income and pro forma Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 add back strategic and financial restructuring expenses of $1.8 million and acquisition-related and stock-based compensation expenses of $0.5 million. Adjusted fully distributed net income and Adjusted EBITDA for the year-earlier results add back $0.6 million in expenses related to strategic and financial restructuring costs. Adjusted fully distributed net income and Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 were positively impacted by revenue growth in both of the company's business segments. This growth was partially offset by increases in selling, general and administrative services related both to the company's reorganization and to increased headcount and employee-related expenses to support the growth of the company.   

Cash provided by operating activities was $64.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, compared to $57.3 million for the same quarter last year. Operating cash flows increased primarily due to the increase in net income, but were partially offset by an increase in receivables and other current assets, as well as a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Capital expenditures were $12.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, unchanged from the prior year. Other investing activities in the quarter primarily consisted of the $28.7 million acquisition of SYMMEDRx, a business with a track record of analyzing and reducing costs for health systems through the innovative use of data.

At September 30, 2013, the company's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $132.9 million, consisting of $75.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $57.5 million in marketable securities with maturities ranging from three to 12 months. The company paid cash distributions to its limited partners in the first quarter of $208.3 million, attributable to earnings through June 30, 2013. In November 2013, the board approved an additional cash distribution of $78.0 million, of which $11.8 million has already been paid and the remainder will be paid later this month, to its limited partners attributable to earnings for the first quarter ended September, 30, 2013, calculated in a consistent manner with the company's historical semi-annual cash distributions provided to member owners prior to the Reorganization and IPO. Total borrowings at September 30, 2013, which include notes payable and borrowings under the company's line of credit, were $99.2 million. The company's outstanding balance on its revolving line of credit was $60.0 million at September 30, 2013, which it repaid in October.

On a GAAP basis, Premier generated net revenue of $240.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, an increase of 21.2% from $198.6 million for the same period last year. The company generated net income of $112.7 million, up 32.5% from $85.1 million for the 2013 first quarter.

Supply Chain Services

For the fiscal first quarter ended September 30, 2013, the Supply Chain Services segment generated GAAP net revenue of $187.5 million, an increase of $37.0 million, or 24.6% from $150.5 million in the prior year. On a pro forma basis, Supply Chain Services segment revenue was $146.2 million, an increase of $13.2 million, or 9.9%, from $133.0 million in the prior year. Revenue growth was driven by increased net administrative fees in the GPO and further penetration of the direct sourcing and specialty pharmacy businesses. 

On a pro forma basis, Supply Chain Services Adjusted EBITDA of $84.2 million for the fiscal first quarter increased $3.4 million, or 4.2%, from $80.8 million for the same period a year ago.

Performance Services

For the fiscal first quarter ended September 30, 2013, the Performance Services segment generated GAAP net revenue of $53.1 million, an increase of $5.0 million, or 10.4%, from $48.1 million for the same quarter last year. The revenue growth is attributable primarily to new SaaS informatics products subscriptions and an increase in revenue from advisory services.

Performance Services Adjusted EBITDA was $16.3 million for the quarter, compared to $12.0 million last year, an increase of 36.1%.

Outlook and guidance

Premier believes it is well-positioned to help its members successfully address the cost, safety, efficiency and population health management issues facing the healthcare industry over the next several years. The company believes it enjoys a strong competitive position, a solid value proposition based on its large, integrated technology platform, and a long-standing collaborative relationship with major healthcare systems across the United States.

The guidance below is based on the following key assumptions: increasing use of Performance Services products and offerings, as well as stable growth in the Supply Chain segment through the addition of acute and alternate-site GPO members and deeper penetration of existing members' supply spend. Based on these assumptions, year-to-date results and the company's current outlook, Premier has established the following financial guidance for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2014:

Reorganization and initial public offering

On October 1, 2013, Premier completed its IPO by issuing 32,374,751 shares of its Class A common stock, at a price of $27.00 per share, which included 4,222,793 shares sold pursuant to the option granted to the underwriters by Premier, which was exercised in full prior to the completion of the IPO, raising net proceeds of approximately $821.7 million, after underwriting discounts and commissions but before expenses. In connection with the IPO, Premier completed the reorganization of the company on October 1, 2013, issuing 112.6 million shares of Class B common stock representing 77.7% of the common stock outstanding, and corresponding Class B units in Premier Healthcare Alliance, L.P. to its 181 member owners.

The company's historical consolidated operating results do not reflect the reorganization, the IPO and contemplated use of net proceeds from the IPO. Therefore, in addition to presenting the historical actual results, the company presents and discusses pro forma results, which reflect the impact of the company's reorganization and IPO and the contemplated use of net proceeds from the IPO, to provide a more comparable indication of future expectations. 

The key pro forma adjustments include: 

  • The reorganization, which included the formation of a C-Corporation and the sale of 22.3% of the member's partnership interests to the public through the issuance of approximately 32.4 million shares of Premier Class A common stock, with the member owners retaining their ownership interest in the form of 112.6 million shares of Premier Class B common stock.
  • Payments to each member owner of revenue share from Premier equal to 30% of all gross administrative fees collected.
  • Payments due to member owners pursuant to the tax receivable agreement equal to 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in income and franchise taxes, that Premier realizes.
  • The further adjustments set forth in the notes to the pro forma financial statements provided below.

Further details of the reorganization and pro forma adjustments are in the company's IPO prospectus, dated September 25, 2013, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and in the company's Form 10-Q first-quarter report, to be filed with the SEC on or about November 12, 2013. The prospectus is accessible on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov and in the investor relations section of the company's website at investors.premierinc.com.

Use and definition of non-GAAP measures

Premier, Inc. uses Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted fully distributed net income to facilitate a comparison of the company's operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period that, when viewed in combination with its results prepared in accordance with GAAP, provides 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 because they remove 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 operations.

In addition, adjusted fully distributed net income eliminates the variability of noncontrolling 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, beginning on October 31, 2014, and each year thereafter, and are limited to one-seventh of the member owner's initial allocation of Class B common units).  Adjusted fully distributed net income is defined as net income attributable to PHSI (i) excluding income tax expense, (ii) excluding the effect of non-recurring and non-cash items, (iii) assuming the exchange of all the Class B common units into shares of Class A common stock, which results in the elimination of noncontrolling interest in Premier LP, and (iv) reflecting an adjustment for income tax expense on pro forma fully distributed net income before income taxes at the company's estimated effective income tax rate.

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 are expenses that have not been incurred within the prior two years and are not expected to recur within the next two years. Such expenses include certain strategic and financial restructuring expenses. Non-operating items include gain or loss on disposal of assets. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is defined as the segment's net revenue less 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.
