Emdeon Reports First Quarter 2012 Results
-- Revenue of $286.0 million, increased 5.4% over first quarter 2011
-- Adjusted EBITDA of $78.4 million, increased 13.9% over first quarter 2011
NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Emdeon Inc., a leading provider of healthcare revenue and payment cycle management and clinical information exchange solutions, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012, as summarized below:

"Our operating results for the first quarter were solid, and particularly strong in pharmacy services and revenue cycle management," said George Lazenby, Emdeon's chief executive officer. "Following the quarter, we also made significant progress strategically through our recently announced acquisition of TC3™ Health, Inc., a leading provider of cost containment solutions, to further bolster Emdeon's already robust Payment Integrity offerings for healthcare payers."
First quarter revenue was $286.0 million, an increase of 5.4%, compared to $271.5 million for the same period in 2011. First quarter revenue was reduced by $2.0 million due to acquisition method adjustments related to the Blackstone transaction, which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2011 (the "2011 Transaction").
Net income (loss) for the first quarter of 2012 was $(17.3) million compared to net income of $7.3 million for the same period in 2011. This loss was primarily due to increased interest and other expenses associated with the 2011 Transaction, which more than offset the impact of business growth as compared to the prior year period.
First quarter Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA grew 14.0% to $78.4 million, or 27.4% of revenue, from Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA of $68.8 million, or 25.4% of revenue, for the comparable period in 2011.
A reconciliation of Emdeon's financial results determined in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) to certain non-GAAP financial measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this release to supplement its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis. An explanation of these non-GAAP measures is also included below under the heading "Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Emdeon's management believes that, in order to properly understand Emdeon's short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may wish to consider the impact of certain non-cash or non-operating items, when used as a supplement to financial performance measures prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These items result from facts and circumstances that vary in frequency and/or impact continuing operations. In addition, management uses results of operations before such excluded items to evaluate the operational performance of Emdeon as a basis for strategic planning and as a performance evaluation metric in determining achievement of certain executive and management incentive compensation programs. Investors should consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition to the description provided below, reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP results are provided in the financial statement tables included in this release.
In this release, Emdeon defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA (which is defined as net income before income tax provision (benefit), net interest expense and depreciation and amortization), plus certain other non-cash or non-operating items (collectively, "EBITDA Adjustments").
To properly evaluate Emdeon's business, Emdeon encourages investors to review the GAAP financial information included in this release, and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Emdeon's business. Emdeon also strongly encourages investors to review the reconciliation of net income (loss) to the non-GAAP measure of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA, as Emdeon defines it, may differ from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and is susceptible to varying calculations. Adjusted EBITDA calculations are also used in our credit facilities and indentures, although the precise adjustments used to calculate Adjusted EBITDA as used in our credit facilities and indentures vary in certain respects among such agreements and from those presented below.
Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to facilitate a comparison of Emdeon's operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period that, when viewed in combination with Emdeon's GAAP results, management believes provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting Emdeon's business than GAAP measures alone. Management believes this non-GAAP measure assists Emdeon's board of directors, management, lenders and investors in comparing Emdeon's operating performance on a consistent basis because it removes where applicable, the impact of Emdeon's capital structure, asset base, acquisition accounting, non-cash charges and non-operating items from Emdeon's operations.
