Sharecare announces second quarter 2021 financial results and operational highlights

ATLANTA, Aug. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Sharecare (Nasdaq: SHCR), the digital health company that helps people manage all their health in one place, today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

 "The second quarter reflects strong financial performance across our entire business and provides a solid foundation for accelerated growth as we enter the second half of the year," said Jeff Arnold, founder, chairman, and chief executive officer of Sharecare. "Our commitment to delivering profitable, organic growth, combined with over $400 million of cash raised from our recent business combination, enables us to invest in innovation and new strategic opportunities like the acquisition of CareLinx to deliver added value to our customers while enhancing our growth."

Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results
All comparisons, unless otherwise noted, are to the three months ended June 30, 2020.

• Revenue of $98.5 million compared to $78.2 million, an increase of 26% and coming in at the high end of guidance
• The acquisition of doc.ai contributed $5.0 million to revenue in the quarter
• Net loss of $20.2 million compared to net loss of $13.7 million
• Includes non-cash expenses of $8.9 million for the change in the fair value of warrant liabilities, anti-dilution provisions and other contingent consideration, including $2.6 million as a result of the doc.ai anti-dilution provision
• Adjusted EBITDA of $6.6 million compared to $7.9 million, exceeding the guidance of $6.5 million, reflecting additional growth investments to support product innovation and expanded sales initiatives. Comparability with Adjusted EBITDA in Q2 2020 was impacted by temporary cost reductions as a result of furloughed employees, as well as salary and travel reductions due to COVID-19.

 Second Quarter 2021 Operational Highlights

• Closed $50 million investment from second largest health plan in U.S. to co-develop next generation multi-payor advocacy solution as an extension to the Sharecare digital platform
• Added new employer, government, provider, and life sciences customers
• Launched several new government-sponsored health plans including Centene's Peach State Health Plan Medicaid line of business and Humana's CarePlus and their Medicare Advantage population
• Won Health Net's Medicare line of business for both California and Oregon, which we believe represents an opportunity to add an estimated 800,000 new members

Financial Outlook
"By executing across all three of our channels – enterprise, provider, and consumer solutions – we organically grew total year-over-year revenue in the second quarter by approximately 20% while positive Adjusted EBITDA was ahead of our previous guidance," said Justin Ferrero, president and chief financial officer of Sharecare. "We've established a solid foundation and are in a strong position to invest in new opportunities to further accelerate our growth and profitability, and with 97% of our business booked, we remain confident in our full year outlook."

As announced today, Sharecare closed the acquisition of CareLinx, a nationwide home care platform that delivers intermittent on-demand personal care services in the homes of patients, while facilitating rich data capture, population health analytics, and real-time care coordination with remote clinical teams. Positioned to serve patient needs across the entire care continuum – from personal care to clinical care in the home – this acquisition brings a human touch to Sharecare's digital solution with CareLinx's network of more than 450,000 caregivers.

Third Quarter 2021 Financial Guidance
For the three months ending September 30, 2021, the Company expects:

• Revenue in the range of $103 to $105 million, including approximately a $2 million contribution from CareLinx, representing greater than 28% growth over Q3 2020
• Adjusted EBITDA in the range of approximately $6 to $7 million, which includes significant continued investment in sales and innovation. The Adjusted EBITDA target also includes $1 million loss in the quarter from the CareLinx acquisition.

FY 2021 Financial Guidance
For the twelve months ending December 31, 2021, the Company is updating its outlook to reflect the impact of the CareLinx acquisition and now expects:

• Revenue in the range of $414 to $415 million, from approximately $408 million
• Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $28 to $30 million, from approximately $31 million. The $2 to $3 million Adjusted EBITDA reduction is related to the CareLinx acquisition.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our financial results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is useful in evaluating our operating performance. We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measure, provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations, or outlook. In particular, we believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA is helpful to our investors as it is a metric used by management in assessing the health of our business and our operating performance. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly-titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measure as a tool for comparison.

The calculation and reconciliation of historic Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measures stated in accordance with GAAP, is provided below and in the accompanying financial tables. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

We have not reconciled Adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income (loss) because we do not provide guidance for net income (loss) or for items that we do not consider indicative of our on-going performance, including, but not limited to, the impact of significant non-recurring items, as certain of these items are out of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the Adjusted EBITDA guidance to the corresponding U.S. GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable effort.

Adjusted EBITDA
We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) interest income, (iii) interest expense, (iv) other expense (non-operating), (v) gain/loss from equity method investment, (vi) income tax (benefit) expense, (vii) share-based compensation, (viii) severance, (ix) warrant value for revenue contracts (x) common stock issues for services and (xi) transaction and closing costs. We do not view the items excluded as representative of our ongoing operations.
