Tabula Rasa HealthCare Announces Second Quarter 2018 Operating Results

Second Quarter 2018 Revenue of $48.6 million, growth of 65%; 2018 Revenue Guidance Increased


MOORESTOWN, N.J., Aug. 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tabula Rasa HealthCare, Inc. (“TRHC”) (NASDAQ:TRHC), a healthcare technology company advancing the field of medication safety, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018.

“Tabula Rasa saw another strong quarter financially and operationally, with revenues and Adjusted EBITDA ahead of our guidance,” said Calvin H. Knowlton, PhD, TRHC’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We continued to expand our footprint in the PACE market, we evolved to meet our partners’ demands, and we now have an initial plan to implement our medication safety platform internationally” 

Dr. Knowlton continued, “Our organization has grown and changed dramatically during our first two years in the public markets. We’re extremely pleased with the promising outcomes we’ve delivered to our partners and we’re excited about the multitude of opportunities that we expect to be available to us in our future. As we continue to evolve, we will focus on enhancing our analytics platform and scaling our business to ensure we continue to empower clinicians to take action based on our powerful MRM Matrix quickly and efficiently at the point of care, an initiative we are calling TRHC 2.0. We believe the results of TRHC 2.0 will be transformational and provide clinicians with a science-based platform delivering actionable data analytics to optimize medication therapy and manage medication risk. This will enhance our offerings in our existing markets and open new markets to support long term growth for the company.”

Financial Performance for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2018

All comparisons, unless otherwise noted, are to the three months ended June 30, 2017.

  • Total revenue was $48.6 million, an increase of 65%. Total revenue included product revenue of $27.4 million, an increase of 18% largely driven by expansion from existing clients and the onboarding of new clients in the first quarter and second quarter. Service revenue was $21.2 million, an increase of 244% that was driven by expanded services offered to existing clients as well as the contribution of the SinfoníaRx (“SRx”) business which was acquired in September of 2017 as well as the Peak PACE health plan management business acquired in May of 2018.
  • Gross margin, excluding depreciation and amortization expense, was 33.3% compared to 28.8% in 2017. The year-over-year increase was in line with management’s expectations due in part to the seasonality of the SRx business which historically has experienced higher gross margins in the second and third quarters of each fiscal year. The SRx business had a gross margin of approximately 45% in the second quarter which is consistent with its past performance. TRHC maintains a long-term gross margin target, excluding depreciation and amortization expense, of 35% to 40% over the next three to five years.
  • Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA was $7.3 million compared to $3.4 million, an increase of 114%. The increase in Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by new and existing client growth in both the PACE market and health plan market.
  • Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA margin was 15.0%, up from 11.6%, and was in line with management’s expectation given the enhanced margin contribution from the SRx business in the second quarter.
  • Net loss of $29.0 million compared to a net loss of $1.7 million. This net loss was significantly impacted by a charge of $34.9 million due to the change in fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration for the SRx acquisition. Under Accounting Standards Codification 805, “Business Combinations”, contingent consideration liabilities are remeasured at the end of each reporting period to their respective fair values until the contingency is resolved with those changes flowing through earnings. Given the sensitivity of the SRx contingent consideration payment calculation, this remeasurement can produce significant impacts to GAAP net income (loss) that are not reflective of current operating results. The charge recognized in the second quarter of 2018 increased the amount of contingent consideration TRHC expects to pay in connection with the acquisition. This was the result of an increase in the projected 2018 EBITDA for SRx as well as the EBITDA multiple used to calculate the contingent consideration which may be earned based on SRx’s 2018 financial results and varies based on TRHC’s EBITDA trading multiple. As of June, 30 2018, the SRx contingent consideration liability was $80.2 million with the potential for up to an additional $4.8 million to be earned if the maximum contingent amount is earned, which would flow through as a charge to GAAP net income (loss). Any decreases in the contingent amount will be recorded as GAAP net income. The actual amount of the contingent consideration will be known as of December 31, 2018.
  • Net loss per diluted share was $1.53, compared to net loss per diluted share of $0.10. The net loss per share calculations were based on a diluted share count of 19.0 million for the second quarter of 2018, compared to 16.5 million shares for the same period in 2017.
  • Non-GAAP Adjusted net income per diluted share was $0.20, compared to Non-GAAP Adjusted net income per diluted share of $0.08.
  • Cash at the end of the second quarter was $7.3 million compared to $10.4 million at December 31, 2017. Two factors contributing to the decrease in cash were the final contingent consideration payment made in connection with the 2014 acquisition of Medliance of $1.6 million and $2.9 million used in the share repurchase program during the first quarter of 2018. TRHC had $31.6 million available under its line of credit at the end of the second quarter.

A reconciliation of generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States to non-GAAP results has been provided in this press release in the accompanying tables. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.

Financial Outlook
Third Quarter 2018 Guidance: Revenue for TRHC’s third quarter in 2018 is expected to be in the range of $52.0 million to $53.0 million. Net income is expected to be in the range of $1.8 million to $2.8 million. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $8.5 million to $9.5 million.

Full Year 2018 Guidance: Revenue for fiscal year 2018 is now expected to be in the range of $190 million to $200 million. TRHC now expects a net loss in the range of $41.8 million to $43.8 million. Any further charges or benefits related to adjustments in contingent consideration with respect to the SRx acquisition are not factored in this guidance. Adjusted EBITDA is now expected to be in the range of $28.0 million to $30.0 million after accounting for the additional investment for TRHC 2.0 initiatives and costs related to becoming a large accelerated filer which TRHC expects to become in the 2019 fiscal year. Full year guidance is reflective of the seasonality of the SRx business which has historically realized stronger financial performance in the second and third quarters of the fiscal year.

Quarterly Conference Call
As previously announced, TRHC will hold a conference call with members of executive management to discuss its second quarter 2018 performance today, Tuesday, August 7, 2018, at 6:00 p.m. ET. Stockholders and interested participants may listen to a live broadcast of the conference call by dialing 844-413-0947 or 216-562-0423 for international callers, and referencing participant code 5099721 approximately 15 minutes prior to the call.

After the conference call, a replay will be available until August 14, 2018 and can be accessed by dialing 855-859-2056 or 404-537-3406 for international callers, and referencing participant code 5099721.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to reporting all financial information required in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), TRHC is also reporting gross margin excluding depreciation and amortization expense, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS, each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance or financial position that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. 

Adjusted EBITDA consists of net loss plus certain other expenses, which includes interest expense, provision (benefit) for income tax, depreciation and amortization, change in fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration expense, acquisition-related expense, severance expense related to the termination of two members of senior management, payroll tax expense related to stock option exercises and stock-based compensation expense. TRHC defines Adjusted Diluted EPS as net loss attributable to common stockholders before fair value adjustments for acquisition-related contingent consideration, amortization of acquired intangibles, severance expense related to the termination of two members of senior management, acquisition-related expense, payroll tax expense related to stock option exercises, stock-based compensation expense, and the tax impact of those items as well as adjustments for tax benefits related to the recognition of tax windfall benefits expressed on a per share basis using weighted average diluted shares outstanding. TRHC believes the exclusion of these items assists in providing a more complete understanding of the company’s underlying operations results and trends and allows for comparability with TRHC’s peer company index and industry and to be more consistent with TRHC’s expected capital structure on a going forward basis. Please note that other companies might define their non-GAAP financial measures differently than TRHC does.

TRHC presents these non-GAAP financial measures in this release because it considers them to be important supplemental measures of performance. TRHC uses these non-GAAP financial measures for planning purposes, including analysis of the company's performance against prior periods, the preparation of operating budgets and determination of appropriate levels of operating and capital investments. TRHC believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional insight for analysts and investors in evaluating the company's financial and operational performance. TRHC also intends to provide these non-GAAP financial measures as part of the company's future earnings discussions and, therefore, their inclusion should provide consistency in the company's financial reporting.

Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures provided in this release, including in the accompanying tables.
