QUALITY SYSTEMS, INC. REPORTS FISCAL 2016 SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

Revenues and Net Income Increase; Company's Divestiture of Hospital Solutions Division Enables Focus on Core Competency

IRVINE, Calif. … October 22, 2015 Quality Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:QSII) announced today results for its fiscal 2016 second quarter ended September 30, 2015.
Revenues for the fiscal 2016 second quarter reached $125.4 million, up four percent when compared with $120.5 million for the fiscal 2015 second quarter.
Net income for the 2016 second quarter reached $8.3 million, versus $4.8 million for the comparable period last year, an increase of 75 percent.
On a GAAP basis, fully diluted earnings per share was $0.14 in the second quarter of 2016 compared with $0.08 for the same period last year. On a non-GAAP basis, fully diluted earnings per share for the fiscal 2016 second quarter was $0.21 versus $0.13 reported in the fiscal 2015 second quarter.
At quarter-end, the Company’s liquidity position remained strong with $110.8 million of cash and investments.
“As part of our ongoing strategy, we remain focused on further expanding upon the Company’s leadership position in the ambulatory space by delivering the client experience, software and services that help our clients navigate the transition to a value-based healthcare economy. The just-announced divestiture of our Hospital Solutions division helps pave a clearer path for our commitment to our core ambulatory business," explained Rusty Frantz, president and chief executive officer.
“We are also pleased to show continued progress again this quarter in terms of improving the Company’s financial performance as well as demonstrating the benefits of our increased focus on cost containment initiatives. These efforts aid in ensuring availability of continued capital to reinvest in the growth and future of our business and platform,” Frantz said.
Quality Systems also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of seventeen and one-half cents ($0.175) per share on the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock,

SAFE HARBOR PROVISIONS FOR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This news release may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including but not limited to, statements regarding future events, developments in the healthcare sector and regulatory framework, the Company's future performance, as well as management's expectations, beliefs, intentions, plans, estimates or projections relating to the future (including, without limitation, statements concerning revenue, net income, and earnings per share). Risks and uncertainties exist that may cause the results to differ materially from those set forth in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause the anticipated results to differ from those described in the forward-looking statements and additional risks and uncertainties are set forth in Part I, Item A of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, including but not limited to: the volume and timing of systems sales and installations; length of sales cycles and the installation process; the possibility that products will not achieve or sustain market acceptance; seasonal patterns of sales and customer buying behavior; impact of incentive payments under The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act on sales and the ability of the Company to meet continued certification requirements; the development by competitors of new or superior technologies; the timing, cost and success or failure of new product and service introductions, development and product upgrade releases; undetected errors or bugs in software; product liability; changing economic, political or regulatory influences in the health-care industry; changes in product-pricing policies; availability of third-party products and components; competitive pressures including product offerings, pricing and promotional activities; the Company's ability or inability to attract and retain qualified personnel; possible regulation of the Company's software by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration; changes of accounting estimates and assumptions used to prepare the prior periods' financial statements; disruptions caused by acquisitions of companies, products, or technologies; and general economic conditions. A significant portion of the Company's quarterly sales of software product licenses and computer hardware is concluded in the last month of a fiscal quarter, generally with a concentration of such revenues earned in the final ten business days of that month. Due to these and other factors, the Company's revenues and operating results are very difficult to forecast. A major portion of the Company's costs and expenses, such as personnel and facilities, are of a fixed nature and, accordingly, a shortfall or decline in quarterly and/or annual revenues typically results in lower profitability or losses. As a result, comparison of the Company's period-to-

period financial performance is not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indicator of future performance. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This news release contains certain non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measures, which are provided only as supplemental information. Investors should consider these non-GAAP financial measures only in conjunction with the comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or a substitute for U.S. GAAP. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measure in the accompanying financial tables. Other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently than Quality Systems, which limits comparability between companies. The Company believes that its presentation of non-GAAP diluted earnings per share provides useful supplemental information to investors and management regarding the Company's financial condition and results. The Company calculates non-GAAP diluted earnings per share by excluding acquisition costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, impairment of goodwill and other assets, securities litigation defense costs, share-based compensation, and other non-run-rate expenses from GAAP income before provision for income taxes. Historically, the Company calculated a non-GAAP effective tax rate each quarter, based on non-GAAP pre-tax income (or loss) for the period, to determine the corresponding non-GAAP provision for (benefit of) income taxes. Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, the Company began utilizing a normalized non-GAAP tax rate to provide better consistency across the interim reporting periods within a given fiscal year, by eliminating the effects of non-recurring and period-specific items which can vary in size and frequency, and which are not necessarily reflective of the Company’s longer-term operations. The normalized non-GAAP tax rate expected to be applied to each quarter of fiscal year 2016 is 30.5%. The determination of this rate is based on the consideration of both historic and projected financial results. The Company intends to re-evaluate this normalized non-GAAP tax rate on an annual basis or more frequently if any significant events occur that may materially affect this rate, such as merger and acquisition activity, changes in business outlook, or changes in expectations regarding tax regulations.
