BOWIE, Md., Nov. 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --  

Third Quarter 2016 Highlights

  • Third quarter revenue of $105.0 million
  • Third quarter net income of $7.8 million, resulting in diluted net income of $0.05 per share
  • Third quarter Non-GAAP net income of $15.4 million, resulting in Non-GAAP diluted net income of $0.10 per share
  • Third quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $26.3 million
  • MORE2 Registry® dataset medical event count expanded to more than 11.9 billion
  • Share repurchase program expanded to $200 million

Inovalon (Nasdaq: INOV), a leading technology company providing advanced cloud-based data analytics and data-driven intervention platforms to the healthcare industry, today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2016 and other Company developments.

"Third quarter results demonstrate further progress against our long-term strategic plan. We continued the expansion of our platform capabilities, our connectivity reach, and our engagements in the adjacent pharmaceutical and provider markets. Additionally, our ongoing achievements in interoperability, automation, and cloud-based architectures enabled increasing flexibility and efficiencies within our platform, which translated into further value for our clients and increased gross margins for our business," said Keith Dunleavy, M.D., Inovalon's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. "Further, we saw good progress within the initiative to transition our core payor retrospective risk score accuracy product to a more modular offering. Finally, the continued expansion of our data, analytics, and product offerings, combined with a growing addressable client base and our ongoing investments in sales and marketing, resulted in continued strong expansion in our sales pipeline."

Management Transition

The Company also announced the promotion of Chris Greiner from Chief Product and Operations Officer to Chief Financial and Operating Officer. Prior to his role as Chief Product and Operations Officer for Inovalon, Mr. Greiner served as a Vice President at Computer Sciences Corporation, where he was responsible for management of that company's commercial portfolio, as well as the combined Chief Operations Officer and Chief Financial Officer of IBM's Business Analytics Division, among other roles. Mr. Greiner has been with Inovalon since May of 2013. His promotion to his new role is effective as of November 1, 2016. Tom Kloster, Inovalon's Chief Financial Officer since March of 2014, will be leaving the Company to pursue other opportunities.

Commenting on the executive appointment, Dr. Dunleavy said, "We are very pleased to announce the promotion of Chris Greiner to the new role of Chief Financial and Operating Officer. Chris is a strong leader who has repeatedly demonstrated an impressive prowess for achieving not only product and operations scale and efficiency, but also strong financial and strategic goals. We would also like to recognize Tom Kloster for his greatly appreciated role in supporting Inovalon through the process of becoming a publicly traded company and implementing the infrastructure required to do so successfully. All of us at Inovalon wish Tom the very best in his new endeavors."

Third Quarter 2016 Financial Results

  • Revenue for the third quarter of 2016 was $105.0 million, compared with $105.5 million for the third quarter of 2015.
  • Cost of revenue for the third quarter of 2016 was $35.4 million, or 33.7% of revenue, compared with 36.4% of revenue for the third quarter of 2015, an improvement of 270 basis points.
  • Net income for the third quarter of 2016 was $7.8 million resulting in diluted net income per share of $0.05, compared with $10.1 million and $0.07 per share, respectively, for the third quarter of 2015.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $26.3 million for the third quarter of 2016, compared with $29.0 million for the third quarter of 2015. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 25.0% in the third quarter of 2016, compared with 27.5% for the third quarter of 2015.
  • Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2016 was $15.4 million, resulting in Non-GAAP diluted net income per share of $0.10, compared with $13.0 million and $0.09 per share, respectively, for the third quarter of 2015.
  • Net cash provided by operating activities was $68.6 million for the first nine months of 2016, an increase of 55% from $44.2 million in the year-ago period.
  • Of note, during the quarter, the Company completed the 2015 federal and state tax returns of Avalere, which was acquired on September 1, 2015, for the pre-acquisition period of January 1, 2015 through August 31, 2015. Through this process, the Company identified additional tax benefits and, as a result, the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 is 15.0% and 34.4%, respectively. The lower tax rate in the third quarter of 2016 represented a $0.01 benefit to diluted net income per share and a $0.02 benefit to Non-GAAP diluted net income per share.

"Third quarter revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, and Non-GAAP diluted income per share, exclusive of tax benefits realized from the acquisition of Avalere in 2015, were at the higher end of our expectations, and we again generated solid free cash flow," said Chris Greiner, Chief Operating and Financial Officer of Inovalon. "In parallel with delivering these results, the Company executed well on several key fronts. We realized improved gross margin operating leverage as a result of advancements in several product and service delivery technology platforms, closed on a number of deals from our expanding sales pipeline, rolled out new organically-developed offerings to adjacent markets, and, subsequent to quarter end, completed the acquisition of Creehan & Company, with integration activities well underway. Lastly, we are pleased to report that our share repurchase program was underway during the quarter, resulting in the purchase of approximately 3.4 million shares of Class A common stock with $49 million remaining in the initial program by quarter-end, now expanded to a total of $200 million under the program – with a strong balance sheet continuing to be in place."

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Non-GAAP net income are non-GAAP measures. Net income is the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP net income. Reconciliations of net income to Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP net income, identifying the differences between net income and each of these non-GAAP financial measures, are included in this press release after the consolidated financial statements.

Key Highlights

  • Addition of Specialty Pharmacy Platform Capabilities: During the quarter, Inovalon entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Creehan & Company, the industry's leading independent provider of specialty pharmacy software-as-a-service (SaaS) platforms, supporting approximately 30% of the nation's specialty pharmacy marketplace. The acquisition closed effective October 1, 2016. Specialty pharmacy is a high-value sub-segment of the healthcare ecosystem that is of increasing importance to payors, pharmaceutical companies, and patients alike. Total specialty pharmacy spending in the U.S. is expected to increase from $178 billion in 2015 to $282 billion by 2020, approaching half of total U.S. pharma spend over the next few years. The integration of Creehan & Company's strong client base, industry expertise, and data-driven technology platforms strategically expands the reach and capability of Inovalon's data-driven healthcare vision.
  • Expansion into Virtual Medicine: During the quarter, Inovalon announced a multi-year agreement with MDLIVE, a leading telehealth platform provider, to provide on-demand, real-time patient insights and analytics for virtual clinical encounters. The new capability will enable MDLIVE and its clients (health systems, ACOs, health plans, and employers) to deliver a more personal and differentiated encounter while also facilitating better clinical outcomes, quality score improvements, risk adjustment accuracy, and utilization efficiency across a wide variety of patient populations. By leveraging Inovalon's extensive capabilities, clinicians in this rapidly-growing segment can improve the care delivered, yielding a better experience for patients and improved financial performance for the underlying health systems, ACOs, health plans, and employers. Adding to Inovalon's partnership with Quest Diagnostics to provide Data Diagnostics®, the agreement with MDLIVE is the latest example of how Inovalon is bringing advanced cloud-based analytics, proprietary data sets, and deep subject matter expertise to drive meaningful impact at the point-of-care in real-time.
  • Further Expansions in Pharma: Inovalon is seeing increased success in the leveraging of its data and analytical platforms for the pharmaceutical marketplace. The advancement of Inovalon's capabilities, highlighted at the Company's 2016 Client Congress in Washington D.C. on September 25th and 26th, have witnessed the introduction of an integrated "stack" of subject matter expertise, an extensive cloud-based platform suite of data technologies, and proprietary data assets customized for the pharmaceutical and life sciences marketplace. Inovalon has also introduced an integrated value-based / outcomes-based contracting platform which provides for advanced capabilities in data integration, analytics, intervention, reporting and administration for pharmaceutical companies and partnered payors. Over the recent several months, the Company has entered into a number of additional engagements with leading global pharmaceutical companies to support and empower real-world data (RWD), value-based and outcomes-based contracting, and medication compliance tracking and improvement initiatives.
  • Advancements in Provider / Post-Acute Care Capabilities: During the quarter, Inovalon materially advanced analytical research and associated resulting capabilities designed for the post-acute care provider marketplace. The results, presented together with Kindred Healthcare at Inovalon's Client Congress in Washington D.C. on September 25th and 26th, allow for highly sophisticated applications of predictive analytics to identify ideal facility-type placement and inter-facility-type transfers, predicted costs, and predicted length of stay for patients in need of post-acute care. The capabilities will empower significant advancements in quality of care, reductions in readmission rates, and improvements in financial efficiency for post-acute care providers.
  • Continued Expansion of Pipeline: During the third quarter, the Company's continuing investments in product innovation, product-line expansion, and sales and marketing capacity expansion drove sale closures across all lines of business and further significant pipeline expansion. Inovalon's sales pipeline grew by over 20% from the close of the second quarter and at quarter-end represented approximately 4x the level at the beginning of the year.
  • Share Repurchase Program Expanded: Today the Company is announcing that the Board of Directors has authorized the expansion of the Company's share repurchase program to repurchase up to an additional $100 million of shares of Inovalon's Class A common stock (bringing the total to $200 million). The additional $100 million of shares can be repurchased between the completion of the first $100 million program and the end of 2017. During the third quarter of 2016 the Company repurchased 3,364,531 shares of Class A common stock for $51.1 million at an average share price of $15.19 per share. Since the close of the third quarter, through Monday, October 31, 2016, the Company had repurchased 2,813,603 shares of Class A common stock for approximately $40.2 million at an average share price of $14.28 per share. Repurchases under the Company's share repurchase program are made in open-market or privately negotiated transactions in compliance with Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, and other relevant factors. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of Class A common stock.

Other Financial Data and Key Metrics

The following constitute other financial and key metrics which are presented quarterly.

  • Growth of Datasets: At September 30, 2016, the MORE2 Registry® dataset contained more than 139.5 million unique patient counts and 11.9 billion medical event counts, increases of 9% and 15%, respectively, compared with September 30, 2015.
  • Investment in Innovation: For the quarter ended September 30, 2016, Inovalon's ongoing investment supporting innovations in advanced, cloud‑based data analytics and data‑driven intervention platforms was $13.2 million, or 13% of revenue.
  • Analytical Process Count Growth: Inovalon's trailing 12-month Patient Analytical Month (PAM) count, which the Company believes is indicative of the Company's overall level of analytical activity, grew to more than 25.2 billion as of September 30, 2016, an increase of 24% as compared with September 30, 2015.

Please see the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for further detail regarding the preceding other financial data and key metrics.

Shares Outstanding

As of October 31, 2016, the Company had 63,056,269 million shares of Class A common stock outstanding and 83,970,518 million shares of Class B common stock outstanding.

2016 Financial Guidance

Inovalon is affirming the full-year 2016 guidance issued by the Company on August 3, 2016. As previously conveyed, full year guidance for 2016 is summarized as follows:

  • Revenue is expected to be between $470 million and $490 million
  • Net Income is expected to be between $43 million and $53 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $130 million and $148 million
  • Non-GAAP net income is expected to be between $60 million and $70 million
  • Diluted net income per share is expected to be between $0.28 and $0.35
  • Non-GAAP diluted net income per share is expected to be between $0.39 and $0.46

Reconciliations of net income, the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP net income, identifying the differences between each of these non-GAAP financial measures and net income, are included in this press release after the consolidated financial statements.

While implementation of the share repurchase program or changes in the stock price could change the fully diluted share count, under the treasury stock method, the Company is assuming 151.0 million shares for the full year 2016.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Inovalon provides the measures Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Non-GAAP net income as additional information for evaluating the Company's operating results. These measures are not prepared in accordance with, or as an alternative for, GAAP accounting and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

Investors frequently have requested information from management regarding depreciation, amortization and other non-cash charges, such as stock-based compensation, as well as the impact of non-comparable items and management believes, based on discussions with investors, that these non-GAAP measures enhance investors' ability to assess Inovalon's historical and projected future financial performance. While management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors, there are limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures. For example, one limitation of Adjusted EBITDA is that it excludes depreciation and amortization, which represents the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in our business. Inovalon compensates for these limitations by using these non-GAAP financial measures as supplements to GAAP financial measures and by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measures that are provided above. These non-GAAP measures include financial information that is prepared in accordance with GAAP and presented in our consolidated financial statements and are used to evaluate our business, measure our performance, develop financial forecasts and make strategic decisions and as an important factor in determining variable compensation.  

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for the impact of depreciation and amortization, realized losses on short-term investments, gain on disposal of equipment, interest expense, interest income, provision for income taxes, stock‑based compensation, acquisition costs, tax on equity exercises, and other non‑comparable items. A reconciliation of net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBITDA is provided above.

Adjusted EBITDA margin is the Company's calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, divided by revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP.

The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as supplemental measures of performance to gain insight into operating effectiveness. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as key metrics to assess its ability to increase revenues while controlling expense growth and the scalability of the Company's business model. The Company believes that the exclusion of the expenses eliminated in calculating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin provides management and investors a useful measure for period-to‑period comparisons of the Company's core business and operating results by excluding items that are not comparable across reporting periods or that do not otherwise relate to the Company's ongoing operating results. Accordingly, the Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating the Company's operating results. However, use of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as analytical tools has limitations, and investors and others should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in Inovalon's industry, might calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin or similarly titled measures differently, which may reduce their usefulness as comparative measures.

Non-GAAP net income

The Company defines Non-GAAP net income as net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to exclude tax-affected stock-based compensation expense, acquisition costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, tax on equity exercises, and other non-comparable items.

The Company uses Non-GAAP net income as a supplemental measure of performance to gain insight into financial effectiveness. The Company uses Non-GAAP net income as a key metric to assess its ability to increase revenues while controlling expense growth and the scalability of its business model. The Company believes that the exclusion of the expenses eliminated in calculating Non-GAAP net income provides management and investors a useful measure for period to period comparisons of the Company's core business and financial results by excluding items that are not comparable across reporting periods or that do not otherwise relate to its ongoing financial results. Accordingly, the Company believes that Non-GAAP net income provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating the Company's performance. However, use of Non-GAAP net income as an analytical tool has limitations, and investors and others should not consider this measure in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's financial results as reported under GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in Inovalon's industry, might calculate Non-GAAP net income or similarly titled measures differently, which may reduce their usefulness as comparative measures.
