CHICAGO, April 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (Allscripts – NASDAQ: MDRX) today announced that it expects to report the following financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

First Quarter Results:

Bookings of approximately $194.6 million. This compares to bookings of $212.4 million in the first quarter of 2011.
GAAP revenue of $364.7 million and non-GAAP revenue of $365.5 million. This compares to GAAP and non-GAAP revenue of $335.3 and $346.1 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2011.
GAAP operating income of $13.0 million; non-GAAP operating income of $40.9. This compares to $24.5 million and $72.1 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2011.
GAAP net income(1) of $5.8 million; diluted earnings per share of $0.03. This compares to $12.6 million and $0.07, respectively, in the first quarter of 2011.
Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.12, compared to $0.21 in the first quarter of 2011.
$74.6 million in cash flow from operations; reduced debt by another $24.5 million, decreasing total outstanding debt to approximately $343.0 million as of March 31, 2012.

"Our overall results were primarily affected by lower than expected sales and an unfavorable sales mix, which directly impacted revenue and profit," said Glen Tullman, Chief Executive Officer of Allscripts. "In addition, our investments in improving client experience and accelerating product development, as well as higher than expected software development expense, also put pressure on our bottom line.

"While Allscripts continued to win important new clients, including three new Sunrise Clinical Manager contracts in the quarter, a number of our clients and prospects delayed commitments as they wait for us to introduce new releases and demonstrate more robust integration. This dynamic, combined with the recent reorganization of our sales and service teams, were the primary factors that caused sales to be lower than our expectations.

"We believe our revised full-year guidance for the remainder of 2012 gives us flexibility to further invest as necessary to improve client experience and focus on key product requirements and innovation, which will be our highest priority."

First Quarter Results

GAAP revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $364.7 million. Non-GAAP revenue(2) for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $365.5 million, compared to non-GAAP revenue of $346.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, a 6 percent increase.

GAAP gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $155.7 million. Non-GAAP gross profit(3) was $156.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to $170.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

GAAP operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $13.0 million. Non-GAAP operating income(4) was $40.9 million for three months ended March 31, 2012, or 11.2 percent of total non-GAAP revenue. This compares to $72.1 million or 20.8 percent of non-GAAP revenue for the prior year.

GAAP net income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $5.8 million. Non-GAAP net income(5) was $23.5 million, after giving effect to deferred revenue adjustments, acquisition-related amortization, stock-based compensation expense and transaction-related expenses totaling $17.7 million, net of tax for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This result compares to $40.6 million of non-GAAP net income for the prior year period.

For the first quarter of 2012, cash flow from operations totaled $74.6 million. During the first quarter of 2012, Allscripts had repaid approximately $24.5 million of borrowings under its secured term loan and senior secured revolving facilities. As of March 31, 2012, the Company had $343.0 million of borrowings outstanding and cash and marketable securities of approximately $177.4 million.

CFO Transition

Allscripts also announced that Bill Davis, Chief Financial Officer, has decided to leave the Company, effective May 18, 2012, to pursue another opportunity with a private company outside of the healthcare industry.

Tullman commented, "We are grateful to Bill for the key role he has played in the company's growth from revenues of nearly $80 million when Bill joined Allscripts to over $1.4 billion last year, and leading several strategic transactions over the past nine years. We thank him for his contributions and wish him the best in his new endeavors."

Dave Morgan, Senior Vice President Finance, will become the Interim Chief Financial Officer while the Company conducts a formal search for Mr. Davis's successor. Mr. Morgan previously served as SVP Finance and Chief Accounting Officer of Eclipsys.

Tullman continued: "I am confident that Dave, who has deep experience in our organization and industry, will ensure a smooth transition."

Departures from Board of Directors

The Company also announced that Phil Pead's service as Chairman of the Board, director and officer of the Company terminated yesterday. Prior to this action, the Board engaged in extensive deliberations regarding the leadership of the Company. Following the deliberations, those who concurred with the consensus regarding such leadership expressed their intention to continue as directors, and those who did not concur (Catherine M.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Allscripts reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. To supplement this information, Allscripts presents in this release non-GAAP revenue, gross profit, operating income and net income, including non-GAAP net income on a per share basis, which are non-GAAP financial measures under Section 101 of Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Non-GAAP revenue consists of GAAP revenue as reported and adds back the acquisition-related deferred revenue adjustment booked for GAAP purposes. Non-GAAP gross profit consists of GAAP gross profit as reported and adds back the acquisition-related deferred revenue adjustment booked for GAAP purposes. Non-GAAP operating income consists of GAAP operating income as reported and adds back the acquisition-related deferred revenue adjustment booked for GAAP purposes and excludes acquisition-related amortization, stock-based compensation expense, transaction-related and non-recurring expenses. Non-GAAP net income consists of GAAP net income as reported, excludes acquisition-related amortization, stock-based compensation expense and transaction-related and non-recurring expenses, and adds back the acquisition-related deferred revenue, in each case net of any related tax effects. Non-GAAP net income also includes a tax rate alignment adjustment.

Acquisition-Related Deferred Revenue. Acquisition-related deferred revenue adjustment reflects the fair value adjustment to deferred revenues acquired in business combinations. 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. Allscripts adds back this deferred revenue for its non-GAAP financial measures because it believes the inclusion of this amount directly correlates to the underlying performance of Allscripts operations and facilitates comparisons of the separate 2010 pre-merger results of legacy Allscripts and Eclipsys to that of the Company's post-merger results.

Acquisition-Related Amortization. Acquisition-related amortization expense is a non-cash expense arising from the acquisition of intangible assets in connection with acquisitions or investments. Allscripts excludes acquisition-related amortization expense from non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP net income because it believes (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of Allscripts 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. Management believes that this adjustment facilitates comparisons of the 2010 pre-merger results of legacy Allscripts and Eclipsys to that of the Company's post-merger results. 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 Expense. Stock-based compensation expense is a non-cash expense arising from the grant of stock awards to employees. Allscripts excludes stock-based compensation expense from non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP net income because it believes (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of Allscripts business operations and (ii) such expenses can vary significantly between periods as a result of the timing 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.

Transaction-Related Expenses. Transaction-related expenses are fees and expenses, including legal and accounting fees and other integration-related expenses, incurred in connection with announced transactions. Allscripts excludes transaction-related expenses from non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP net income because it believes (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of Allscripts business operations and (ii) such expenses can vary significantly between periods.

Tax Rate Alignment. Tax adjustment to align the current fiscal quarter's effective tax rate to the expected annual effective tax rate.

Management also believes that non-GAAP revenue, gross profit, operating income and net income and non-GAAP net income on a per share basis provide useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding the underlying performance of the Company's business operations and facilitates comparisons of the separate 2010 pre-merger results of legacy Allscripts and legacy Eclipsys to that of the Company's 2010 post-merger results. Acquisition accounting adjustments made in accordance with GAAP can make it difficult to make meaningful comparisons of the underlying operations of the business without considering the non-GAAP adjustments that we have provided and discussed herein. Management also uses this information internally for forecasting and budgeting as it believes that these measures are indicative of the Company's core operating results. In addition, the Company uses non-GAAP revenue, operating income and/or net income to measure achievement under the Company's stock and cash incentive compensation plans. Note, however, that non-GAAP revenue, gross profit, operating income and net income and non-GAAP net income on a per share basis are performance measures only, and they do not provide any measure of the Company's cash flow or liquidity. Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Allscripts results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Investors and potential investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures with GAAP financial measures contained within the attached condensed consolidated financial statements.
