MOORESTOWN, N.J., Nov. 06, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tabula Rasa HealthCare, Inc. (“TRHC”) (TRHC), a healthcare technology company optimizing medication safety by deploying new medication risk mitigation digital software solutions and novel, proprietary medication decision support tools, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017.
“I’m extremely pleased with our performance this quarter both from a financial and operational perspective,” said Calvin H. Knowlton, PhD, TRHC’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “The momentum we experienced in the first half of the year continued in the third quarter throughout all areas of our business and as a result we are increasing our revenue guidance by two million dollars for the 2017 fiscal year.”
Dr. Knowlton continued, “Our proprietary medication risk stratification engine and medication risk score continue to get recognized as a tool for health plans to better manage medication risk for their members. By the end of the 2017 fiscal year we expect to have run 10 million patients through our engine for a variety of commercial and government sponsored health plan prospects. We plan to continue to use these tools to demonstrate the differentiated nature of our Medication Risk Mitigation platform in order to build our pipeline and, ultimately, we believe this will result in winning new customers within the health plan and PACE markets.”
“I am also very pleased with the progress we have made toward integrating the SinfoníaRx business which we acquired on September 6th. The reaction from our existing customers has been very positive. We continue to believe that the combined company has meaningful cross-selling opportunities that we believe we will be able to capitalize on in the coming years.”
Financial Performance for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2017
All comparisons, unless otherwise noted, are to the three months ended September 30, 2016.
- Total revenue was $33.3 million, an increase of 38%. Total revenue included product revenue of $24.6 million, an increase of 19%, and service revenue of $8.6 million, an increase of 151%. Product revenue increased as a result of a combination of expansion from existing clients and new clients onboarded this year. The majority of the increase in service revenue resulted from TRHC’s participation in the Enhanced Medication Therapy Management program, sponsored by the Center for Medicare and Medication Innovation, which started on January 1, 2017, as well as the contribution from the SinfoníaRx acquisition which was completed on September 6, 2017.
- Gross margin was 29.5%, compared to 28.9%. The year over year increase is primarily related to an increase in the service revenue contribution as compared to the third quarter of 2017. Service revenue, which carries a higher gross margin, represented 26% of total revenue for the third quarter of 2017 as compared to 14% for the same period in 2016.
- Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA was $4.6 million, compared to $3.3 million, an increase of 43% compared to a year ago. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by growth in the business, both in the PACE market and health plan market as well as a contribution from the SinfoníaRx acquisition.
- Adjusted EBITDA margin was 14.0% in the third quarter of 2017, up slightly from 13.5% in the same period of 2016 and was in line with management’s expectations.
- Net income of $7.7 million compared to a net loss of $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2016. Net income was positively impacted by the partial reversal of TRHC’s deferred tax asset valuation allowance and recognition of tax windfall benefits which combined had a one-time benefit of $9.4 million in the third quarter. TRHC is no longer incurring expenses related to the restricted stock grants issued in connection with TRHC’s initial public offering.
- Net income per diluted share was $0.41, compared to net loss per diluted share of $0.08. The net income (loss) per share calculations were based on a diluted share count of 18.6 million for the third quarter of 2017, compared to 10.3 million shares for the same period in 2016.
- Non-GAAP Adjusted net income per diluted share was $0.08, compared to adjusted net income per diluted share of $0.04.
- Cash at the end of the third quarter was $5.9 million compared to $4.3 million at December 31, 2016. The increase in cash was due to positive cash flow from operations, which was partially offset by a $1.5 million payment for contingent consideration made in the first quarter of 2017, $2.1 million in payments for payroll taxes remitted to taxing authorities in the second quarter of 2017 on behalf of employees from the net exercise of stock options, and $1.0 million in payments for the repurchase of common stock. TRHC also had $35.0 million drawn on its line of credit, which was used to fund the SinfoníaRx acquisition, at the end of the third quarter.
A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in this press release in the accompanying tables. Non-GAAP results exclude change in fair value of warrant liability, loss on extinguishment of debt, change in fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration expense, acquisition-related expense, payroll tax expense related to stock option exercises, stock-based compensation expense, and adjustments for the partial reversal of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance and recognition of tax windfall benefits. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.

Net income projections include incremental stock-based compensation expense of approximately $5.2 million related to restricted stock grants issued in connection with TRHC’s initial public offering, which was fully expensed by May 2017 as well as the partial reversal of the valuation allowance and recognition of tax windfall benefits which resulted in tax benefits of $9.4 million. Adjusted EBITDA is still expected to be in the range of $17.5 million to $18.5 million.

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 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 income (loss) plus certain other expenses, which includes interest expense, provision (benefit) for income tax, depreciation and amortization, loss on extinguishment of debt, change in fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration expense, change in fair value of warrant liability, acquisition-related expense, payroll tax expense related to stock option exercises and stock-based compensation expense. TRHC defines Adjusted Diluted EPS as net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders before decretion of redeemable convertible preferred stock, fair value adjustments related to the remeasurement of warrant liabilities, loss on extinguishment of debt, fair value adjustments for acquisition-related contingent consideration, 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 partial release of our valuation allowance and 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.
