Allscripts Announces First Quarter 2021 Results

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 29, 2021--Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: MDRX) (Allscripts) announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Bookings⁽¹⁾ were $194 million in the first quarter of 2021. This result compares with $183 million in the first quarter of 2020. Contract revenue backlog totaled $4.0 billion as of March 31, 2021.

Non-GAAP income from operations in the first quarter of 2021 was $38 million compared with $8 million in the first quarter of 2020.

“Entering 2021, Allscripts continued to benefit from our strategic investments in distinctive, relevant and comprehensive solutions for our clients across the provider, payer and life sciences end markets. While regional uncertainty remains regarding the trajectory of COVID-19, we are optimistic as the pace of vaccinations increases, patient volumes recover, and we see expanded demand for closed loop connectivity to real world data,” said Paul M. Black, Allscripts Chief Executive Officer. “We were pleased with our strong first quarter results, as we gained from a more robust selling environment and a determined discipline around our cost structure. Looking forward expect a steady, purposeful focus on improving margins, generating free cash flow and serving our clients as they lead their organizations through the pandemic.”

In providing financial guidance, the company does not reconcile Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow to the corresponding GAAP financial measures. Allscripts does not provide guidance for the various reconciling items since certain items that impact GAAP net income and operating cash flow such as acquisition-related amortization, asset impairment charges and restructuring and other costs, any of which may be significant, are outside of its control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. Please see the “Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” at the end of this press release for detailed information on calculating non-GAAP measures. For a reconciliation of other non-GAAP financial measures, see the non-GAAP financial reconciliation tables in this release (Tables 4, 5 and 6).

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Allscripts reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. To supplement this information, Allscripts presents non-GAAP gross profit, gross margin, income from operations, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, effective income tax rate, net income, diluted earnings per share and free cash flow, which are considered non-GAAP financial measures under Section 101 of Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The definitions of non-GAAP financial measures are presented below:

• Non-GAAP gross profit consists of GAAP gross profit, as reported, and excludes acquisition-related amortization, stock-based compensation expense and restructuring and other costs. Non-GAAP gross margin consists of non-GAAP gross profit as a percentage of revenue in the applicable period. Reconciliations to GAAP gross profit are found in Table 4 within this press release.

• Non-GAAP income from operations consists of GAAP income (loss) from operations, as reported, and excludes acquisition-related amortization, stock-based compensation expense, and restructuring and other costs. Reconciliations to GAAP income (loss) from operations are found in Table 4 within this press release.

• Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and consists of GAAP net income/(loss), as reported, and adjusts for: depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation expense; restructuring and other costs; interest expense and other, net; equity in net earnings of unconsolidated investments; and tax provision (benefit). Reconciliations to GAAP net income/(loss) are found in Table 5 within this press release.

• Adjusted EBITDA margin is a non-GAAP measure that is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by revenue. See the reconciliations in Table 5 within this press release with respect to Adjusted EBITDA.

• Non-GAAP effective income tax rate is based on non-GAAP pre-tax earnings and consists of the statutory federal income tax rate, Allscripts effective state income tax rate and adjustments for permanent differences.

• Non-GAAP net income attributable to Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. consists of GAAP net income/(loss) from continuing operations, as reported, and adds back acquisition-related amortization; stock-based compensation expense; restructuring and other costs; non-cash charges to interest expense and other. Non-GAAP net income includes a GAAP to non-GAAP tax rate alignment adjustment. Reconciliations to GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. are found in Table 4 within this press release.

• Non-GAAP diluted weighted shares outstanding consists of diluted weighted shares outstanding, as reported, less the effect of the capped call hedges related to the 0.875% Convertible Notes.

• Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share consist of non-GAAP net income, as defined above, divided by non-GAAP weighted shares outstanding – diluted during the applicable period.

• Free cash flow consists of GAAP cash flows from continuing operations in the applicable period, net of capital expenditures and capitalized software costs. Reconciliations to GAAP cash flows from continuing operations are found in Table 6 within this press release.

Acquisition-Related Amortization. Acquisition-related amortization expense is a non-cash expense arising primarily from the acquisition of intangible assets in connection with acquisitions or investments. Allscripts excludes acquisition-related amortization expense from non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income, and non-GAAP net income because it believes (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of Allscripts business operations and (ii) such expenses can vary significantly between periods because of new acquisitions and full amortization of previously acquired intangible assets. Investors should note that the use of these intangible assets contributed to revenue in the periods presented and will contribute to future revenue generation, and the related amortization expense will recur in future periods.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense. Stock-based compensation expense is a non-cash expense arising from the grant of stock-based awards. Allscripts excludes stock-based compensation expense from non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and Adjusted EBITDA because it believes (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of Allscripts business operations and (ii) such expenses can vary significantly between periods as a result of the timing and valuation of grants of new stock-based awards, including grants in connection with acquisitions. Investors should note that stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to employees whose efforts contributed to the operating results in the periods presented and are expected to contribute to operating results in future periods, and such expense will recur in future periods.

Restructuring and Other Costs. Restructuring and other costs relate to certain legal proceedings and investigations, consulting, severance, incentive compensation and other charges incurred in connection with activities that are considered not reflective of our core business.

Allscripts excludes restructuring and other costs, in whole or in part, from non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and Adjusted EBITDA because it believes (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of Allscripts business operations and (ii) such expenses can vary significantly between periods.

Non-Cash Charges to Interest Expense and Other. Non-cash charges to interest expense include the amortization of the fair value of the conversion option embedded in the 1.25 percent Cash Convertible Notes and 0.875 percent Convertible Notes issued by Allscripts during the second quarter of 2013 and fourth quarter of 2019, respectively.

Equity in Net loss (income) of Unconsolidated Investments. Equity in net loss (income) of unconsolidated investments represents Allscripts share of the equity earnings of our investments in third parties accounted for under the equity method, including the amortization of cost basis adjustments.

Tax Rate Alignment. Tax rate alignment aligns the applicable period’s effective tax rate to the expected annual non-GAAP effective tax rate.

Management also believes that non-GAAP gross profit, gross margin, income from operations, effective income tax rate, net income, diluted earnings per share, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and free cash flow provide useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding the underlying performance of Allscripts business operations. Acquisition accounting adjustments and restructuring and other costs made in accordance with GAAP can make it difficult to make meaningful comparisons of the underlying operations of the business without considering the non-GAAP adjustments provided and discussed herein.

Management also uses this information internally for forecasting and budgeting, as it believes that these measures are indicative of core operating results. In addition, management may use non-GAAP gross profit, operating income, net income, diluted earnings per share, Adjusted EBITDA and/or Adjusted EBITDA margin to measure achievement under Allscripts stock and cash incentive compensation plans. Note, however, that non-GAAP gross profit, operating income, net income, diluted earnings per share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are performance measures only, and they do not provide any measure of cash flow or liquidity. Allscripts considers free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business after capital expenditures and capitalized software costs. Free cash flow provides management and investors a valuable measure to determine the quantity of capital generated that can be deployed to create additional shareholder value by a variety of means. Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Allscripts results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Investors and potential investors are encouraged to review the definitions and reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures with GAAP financial measures contained within the attached condensed consolidated financial statements.
