Cerner Reports Second Quarter 2011 Results
Record Revenue and Bookings, Strong Earnings and Cash Flow
Raises Outlook for Year

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — July 28, 2011 — Cerner Corporation (Nasdaq: CERN) today announced results for the 2011 second quarter that ended July 2, 2011, delivering strong levels of bookings, revenue, earnings and cash flow.

Bookings in the second quarter of 2011 were $649.9 million, an increase of 39 percent compared to second quarter 2010 bookings of $467.8 million. Bookings were an all-time high for a second quarter and the second highest result in company history.

Second quarter revenue was $524.2 million, an increase of 15 percent compared to $456.0 million in the year-ago period.

On a Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) basis, second quarter 2011 net earnings were $72.0 million and diluted earnings per share were $0.42. Second quarter 2010 GAAP net earnings were $55.5 million and diluted earnings per share were $0.33.

The number of shares and the per share amounts for all periods presented within reflect the two-for-one stock split effective June 24, 2011.

Adjusted (non-GAAP) Earnings

Adjusted second quarter 2011 net earnings were $76.1 million, an increase of 29 percent compared to $59.1 million of adjusted net earnings in the second quarter of 2010. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.44 in the second quarter of 2011 compared to $0.35 of adjusted diluted earnings per share in the year-ago quarter. Analysts’ consensus estimate for second quarter 2011 adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.43.

Adjusted Net Earnings is not a recognized term under GAAP and should not be substituted for net earnings as a measure of the Company’s performance but instead should be utilized as a supplemental measure of financial performance in evaluating our business. Following is a description of adjustments made to net earnings. For more detail, please see the accompanying schedule, titled “Reconciliation of Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share to GAAP Net Earnings and Diluted Earnings Per Share.”

Adjusted second quarter 2011 and 2010 net earnings and diluted earnings per share exclude share-based compensation expense, which reduced second quarter 2011 net earnings and diluted earnings per share by $4.1 million and $0.02, respectively, and reduced second quarter 2010 net earnings and diluted earnings per share by $3.7 million and $0.02, respectively.

Other Second Quarter Highlights:

•

Second quarter cash collections of $509.0 million and operating cash flow of $122.1 million.

•

Second quarter free cash flow of $71.2 million, which is an all-time high level of free cash flow in a second quarter. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as operating cash flow less capital expenditures and capitalized software. For more detail, please see the accompanying schedule, titled “Reconciliation of GAAP Operating Cash Flow to non-GAAP Free Cash Flow.”

•

Days sales outstanding of 88 days, which is the same as the year-ago quarter.

•

Total revenue backlog of $5.41 billion, up 21 percent over the year-ago quarter. This is comprised of $4.74 billion of contract backlog and $678.6 million of support and maintenance backlog.

“I am very pleased with our second quarter results,” said Neal Patterson, Cerner chairman, CEO, president and co-founder. “Our outstanding bookings, revenue, earnings, and cash flow performance are evidence of a very strong market and Cerner’s leadership position. We expect our market opportunity to remain robust for years to come as we benefit from demand driven by stimulus, health care reform, and other regulatory requirements, such as ICD-10 codes, that can be addressed with our solutions and services. We are also making ongoing investments in new solutions and services that strengthen our alignment with our existing clients and also allow us to address new large market segments, such as employers. We believe these investments will increase Cerner’s role in transforming health care while also fueling another wave of growth beyond stimulus,” Patterson said.

Future Period Guidance

Cerner currently expects:

•

Third quarter 2011 revenue between $520 million and $540 million.

•

Third quarter 2011 adjusted diluted earnings per share before share based compensation expense between $0.46 and $0.48.
