CPSI (NASDAQ: CPSI), a community healthcare solutions company, today announced results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share, payable on December 1, 2017, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 16, 2017. This dividend marks a change from the Company’s previous variable dividend policy, announced on August 4, 2016.

Total revenues for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017, were $67.1 million, compared with total revenues of $64.7 million for the prior-year third quarter. Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, was $2.3 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared with $1.6 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. Cash provided by operations for the third quarter of 2017 was $2.4 million, compared with cash used by operations of $5.9 million for the prior-year third quarter.

Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, were $198.9 million, compared with total revenues of $202.7 million for the prior-year period. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, was $4.1 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, compared with $1.9 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Cash provided by operations for the first nine months of 2017 was $18.3 million, compared with cash used by operations of $2.6 million for the prior-year period.

“Coming off of a solid third quarter, we have even greater latitude in our efforts to build long-term value for CPSI and our family of companies,” said Boyd Douglas, president and chief executive officer of CPSI. “We are very pleased with the progress we are making throughout the community healthcare market. Our consistent sales activity is fueling our operations, with growing revenues and a healthy installation schedule.”

Commenting on the Company’s financial performance for the third quarter, Matt Chambless, chief financial officer of CPSI, stated, “Our respective EHR solutions continue to provide a solid, stable revenue base, while TruBridge has emerged as the clear growth agent for CPSI, posting double-digit year-over-year revenue growth and yet another record bookings quarter. We are also pleased with having solidified our capital allocation strategy after a noisy 2016. Our amended credit facility and revised dividend policy are in line with our three-pronged strategy of systematically investing in the future of our products and solutions, returning capital to shareholders through dividends, and reducing leverage.”

CPSI management and the Board of Directors expect that the changes implemented this quarter, including improved pricing under the Company’s credit facilities and the change in quarterly dividend, put CPSI on a sustainable path to achieving a target leverage ratio of 2.5x debt to Adjusted EBITDA in 2018, at which time the quarterly dividend may be revisited and the capital allocation strategy may expand to include other, more opportunistic uses of capital.

Douglas added, “As we embark on this next phase of our continued evolution as a community healthcare company, our solution strategy and vision revolve around developing once and then sharing those products across our EHR systems, protecting the integrity of our existing functionality and feature-rich products, and preparing for future growth opportunities in the post-acute market.”

A 30-day online replay will be available approximately one hour following the conclusion of the live webcast.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or “GAAP.” However, management believes that, in order to properly understand our short-term and long-term financial and operational trends, investors may wish to consider the impact of certain non-cash or non-recurring items, when used as a supplement to financial performance measures that are prepared in accordance with GAAP. These items result from facts and circumstances that vary in frequency and impact on continuing operations. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in order to evaluate the operating performance of the Company and compare it against past periods, make operating decisions, and serve as a basis for strategic planning. These non-GAAP financial measures provide management with additional means to understand and evaluate the operating results and trends in our ongoing business by eliminating certain non-cash expenses and other items that management believes might otherwise make comparisons of our ongoing business with prior periods more difficult, obscure trends in ongoing operations, or reduce management’s ability to make useful forecasts. In addition, management understands that some investors and financial analysts find these non-GAAP financial measures helpful in analyzing our financial and operational performance and comparing this performance to our peers and competitors.

As such, to supplement the GAAP information provided, we present in this press release the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP net income, and Non-GAAP earnings per share (“EPS”).

We calculate each of these non-GAAP financial measures as follows:

• Adjusted EBITDA – Adjusted EBITDA consists of GAAP net income (loss) as reported and adjusts for: (i) deferred revenue and other adjustments arising from purchase allocation adjustments related to the Healthland acquisition; (ii) depreciation; (iii) amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets; (iv) stock-based compensation; (v) non-recurrent expenses and transaction-related costs; (vi) interest expense and other, net; and (vii) the provision for income taxes, plus the cash benefits derived from the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards acquired in the Healthland acquisition.
• Non-GAAP net income – Non-GAAP net income consists of GAAP net income (loss) as reported and adjusts for (i) deferred revenue and other adjustments arising from purchase allocation adjustments related to the Healthland acquisition; (ii) amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets; (iii) stock-based compensation; (iv) non-recurring expenses and transaction-related costs; (v) non-cash charges to interest expense and other; and (vi) the total tax effect of items (i) through (v). Adjustments to Non-GAAP net income also includes the after-tax effect of non-deductible transaction-related costs.
• Non-GAAP EPS – Non-GAAP EPS consists of Non-GAAP net income, as defined above, divided by weighted average shares outstanding (diluted) in the applicable period.

Certain of the items excluded or adjusted to arrive at these non-GAAP financial measures are described below:

• Deferred revenue and other adjustments - Deferred revenue and other adjustments includes acquisition-related deferred revenue adjustments, which reflect the fair value adjustments to deferred revenues acquired in business acquisitions. The fair value of deferred revenue represents an amount equivalent to the estimated cost plus an appropriate profit margin, to perform services related to the acquiree’s software and product support, which assumes a legal obligation to do so, based on the deferred revenue balances as of the acquisition date. We add back deferred revenue and other adjustments for non-GAAP financial measures because we believe the inclusion of this amount directly correlates to the underlying performance of our operations.
• Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets - Acquisition-related amortization expense is a non-cash expense arising primarily from the acquisition of intangible assets in connection with acquisitions or investments. We exclude acquisition-related amortization expense from non-GAAP financial measures because we believe (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations and (ii) such expenses can vary significantly between periods as a result 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 - Stock-based compensation expense is a non-cash expense arising from the grant of stock-based awards. We exclude stock-based compensation expense from non-GAAP financial measures because we believe (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our 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.
• Non-recurring expenses and transaction-related costs - Non-recurring expenses relate to certain severance and other charges incurred in connection with activities that are considered one-time. Transaction-related costs are the non-recurring costs related to specific acquisitions (such as the Healthland acquisition). We exclude non-recurring expenses and transaction-related costs from non-GAAP financial measures because we believe (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our 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 and other includes amortization of deferred debt issuance costs. We exclude non-cash charges to interest expense and other from non-GAAP financial measures because we believe these non-cash amounts relate to specific transactions and, as such, may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations.
• Cash benefits derived from the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards acquired in the Healthland acquisition – A significant portion of the fair value of the assets we acquired in the Healthland acquisition is comprised of federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of the acquired entities. We add utilized amounts in computing adjusted EBITDA to reflect the cash benefit received by the Company from the utilization of these significant assets as such benefits are generally excluded from GAAP measures of financial performance.
• After-tax effect of non-deductible transaction-related costs – Certain transaction costs incurred in the Healthland acquisition are non-deductible for federal income tax purposes as they are considered facilitative costs of the specific transaction. Similar to the treatment of non-recurring expenses and transaction-related costs, we exclude the after-tax effect of non-deductible transaction-related costs from non-GAAP net income because we believe (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations and (ii) such expenses can vary significantly between periods.
• Tax shortfall (excess tax benefit) from stock-based compensation – ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, became effective for the Company during the first quarter of 2017 and changes the treatment of tax shortfall and excess tax benefits arising from stock-based compensation arrangements. Prior to ASU 2016-09, these amounts were recorded as an increase (for excess benefits) or decrease (for shortfalls) to additional paid-in capital. With the adoption of ASU 2016-09, these amounts are now captured in the period’s income tax expense. We exclude this component of income tax expense from non-GAAP financial measures because we believe (i) the amount of such expenses or benefits in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations; (ii) such expenses or benefits can vary significantly between periods as a result of the valuation of grants of new stock-based awards, the timing of vesting of awards, and periodic movements in the fair value of our common stock; and (iii) excluding these amounts assists in the comparability between current period results and results during periods prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-09.

Management considers these non-GAAP financial measures to be important indicators of our operational strength and performance of our business and a good measure of our historical operating trends, in particular the extent to which ongoing operations impact our overall financial performance. In addition, management may use Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP net income and/or Non-GAAP EPS to measure the achievement of performance objectives under the Company’s stock and cash incentive programs. Note, however, that these non-GAAP financial measures are performance measures only, and they do not provide any measure of cash flow or liquidity. Non-GAAP financial measures are not alternatives for measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures presented by other companies, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, there is no certainty that we will not incur expenses in the future that are similar to those excluded in the calculation of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release. Investors and potential investors are encouraged to review the “Unaudited Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” above.
