MedAssets Announces First Quarter 2008 Results

Reports First Quarter 2008 Net Revenue of $58.8 million,

Adjusted EBITDA of $16.0 million and Adjusted EPS of $0.11

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MedAssets, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDAS) today announced results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2008.

Financial Highlights

  • Total net revenue was $58.8 million in the first quarter of 2008, an increase of 38.9% from net revenue of $42.3 million in the first quarter last year, driven by revenue growth from both organic and acquisition sources.
  • Adjusted EBITDAa was $16.0 million in the first quarter of 2008, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $16.3 million in the first quarter last year.
  • Adjusted diluted earnings per sharea (EPS) for the first quarter of 2008 was $0.11, excluding non-cash acquisition-related intangible amortization on a tax-adjusted basis.

Net Revenue

Total net revenue for the first quarter of 2008 increased 38.9% to $58.8 million from $42.3 million in the first quarter of 2007. For comparative purposes, total net revenue in the first quarter of 2008 increased 11.2% when compared to total pro formab net revenue of $52.8 million in the prior year’s first quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA

In the first quarter of 2008, adjusted EBITDA was $16.0 million, or 27.3% of net revenue, versus adjusted EBITDA of $16.3 million, or 38.4% of net revenue, in the first quarter of 2007. For comparative purposes, pro forma adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2007 totaled $19.2 million, or 36.4% of pro forma net revenue.

Profitability

The Company reported net income attributable to common stockholders in the first quarter of 2008 of $2.7 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, versus net income attributable to common stockholders of $0.9 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2007. Adjusted diluted EPS in the first quarter of 2008 was $0.11 per diluted share, excluding non-cash acquisition-related intangible amortization on a tax-adjusted basis. For comparative purposes, pro forma net loss attributable to common stockholders in the first quarter of 2007 was a loss of $1.7 million, or a loss of $0.16 per diluted share.

Share-based compensation expense, on a tax-adjusted basis, equated to $0.02 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2008.

(a) Reconciliation of non-GAAP measures, including pro forma net revenue, adjusted EBITDA, pro forma adjusted EBITDA, pro forma diluted EPS and pro forma adjusted diluted EPS, to their most directly comparable GAAP measure, is provided in the attached financial schedules.

(b) Pro forma results in the first quarter of 2007 assume the acquired XactiMed and MD-X businesses were part of MedAssets, as well as certain financing, as of January 1, 2007.


Capital Resources and Cash Flow

At March 31, 2008, MedAssets had cash and cash equivalents of $128.0 million and total debt of $207.9 million on its balance sheet. Net cash used in operating activities in the first quarter of 2008 was $4.5 million, primarily driven by scheduled semi-annual revenue share obligation payments to hospital and health system customers. Capital expenditures for the quarter increased to $3.9 million from $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2007, due mainly to the addition of MD-X and XactiMed in mid-2007.

Business Segment Highlights

Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) Segment

The RCM segment reported net revenue of $25.1 million, an 81.2% increase over net revenue of $13.9 million in the first quarter of 2007, driven by revenue growth from both organic and acquisition sources. Pro forma net revenue in the first quarter of 2007 was $24.4 million. Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2008 was $4.2 million, or 16.9% of net revenue, versus adjusted EBITDA of $4.6 million, or 33.1% of net revenue, in the first quarter of 2007. For comparative purposes, pro forma adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2007 was $7.6 million, or 31.0% of pro forma net revenue.

The RCM segment’s net revenue and adjusted EBITDA performance was consistent with management’s expectations. The comparative first quarter results in the RCM segment were primarily characterized by: significant non-recurring consulting services revenue in the first quarter of 2007; a slower rate of decision support revenue growth in the first quarter of 2008; and continuing investment in the segment’s operating cost structure to support new customer implementations and anticipated revenue growth.

Spend Management Segment

Net revenue in the Spend Management segment was $33.7 million, an 18.3% increase over the $28.5 million reported in the first quarter of 2007. Adjusted EBITDA was $16.0 million, or 47.6% of net revenue, in the first quarter of 2008, versus $14.5 million, or 50.9% of net revenue, in the first quarter of 2007. The decline in adjusted EBITDA margin percentage in this segment was due to $2.9 million in net revenue and $3.2 million of costs related to the Company’s annual customer and vendor meeting. The 2007 meeting occurred in the second quarter of last year.

Corporate

The impact of corporate operations on total adjusted EBITDA was $4.2 million in the first quarter of 2008, versus $2.8 million in the same quarter of 2007. The increase in corporate expense was primarily attributable to costs associated with being a publicly-traded company.

Definitive Agreement to Acquire Accuro Healthcare Solutions

On April 29, 2008, MedAssets announced that it had entered into a definitive purchase agreement to acquire Accuro Healthcare Solutions, a leading revenue cycle management solutions provider focused on delivering tangible financial improvement principally to the hospital market. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approval, and is expected to be completed in 45 to 75 days.

Management Reaffirms Guidance for 2008

Management reiterated its financial guidance for full-year 2008, exclusive of any impact of the pending acquisition of Accuro. Total net revenue is expected to be in the range of $230 million to $236 million. On a segment basis, net revenue in the RCM segment is expected to be between $109 million and $113 million, and net revenue in the Spend Management segment is expected to be between $120 million to $124 million.

At March 31, 2008, MedAssets’ rolling 12-month contracted revenue was an estimated $206.9 million, consisting of $92.5 million from the RCM segment and $114.4 million from the Spend Management segment. This is an increase of approximately 4.3% over the rolling 12-month total as of December 31, 2007. The Company’s contracted revenue reflects the estimated contractually committed revenue to be generated under existing customer contracts in a defined 12-month period. Most of the contracted revenue is derived from multi-year customer agreements.


Total adjusted EBITDA for 2008 is expected to be between $71 million and $75 million.

GAAP diluted EPS in 2008 is expected to be in the range of $0.28 to $0.36. Adjusted diluted EPS, excluding non-cash acquisition-related intangible amortization on a tax-adjusted basis, is expected to be in the range of $0.48 to $0.56 for full year 2008. The Company expects to recognize between $8.5 million and $9.0 million in non-cash share-based compensation expense, which would convert to an earnings impact of between $0.10 and $0.11 per diluted share on a tax-adjusted basis.

Management will modify its 2008 financial guidance to reflect the acquisition of Accuro upon closing of the transaction.

(d) The Company's participating preferred stock converted to common stock on December 18, 2007 as the result of our initial public offering.

(e) For the pro forma three months ended March 31, 2007, preferred shares are not included in the weighted average shares outstanding since the effect is antidilutive due to a pro forma net loss attributable to common stockholders. Additionally, basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding are equivalent for this period due to the antidilution of the pro forma net loss attributable to common stockholders.

(f) Adjusted EBITDA is defined by the Company as net income (loss) before net interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization and other non-recurring, non-cash or non-operating items. Adjusted EBITDA is used by the Company to facilitate a comparison of its operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period that provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than GAAP measures alone. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA assists its board of directors, management and investors in comparing its operating performance on a consistent basis because it removes the impact of the Company's capital structure (primarily interest charges and amortization of debt issuance costs), asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) and items outside the control of MedAssets' management team (taxes), as well as other non-cash (purchase accounting adjustments, share-based compensation expense and imputed rental income) and non-recurring items, from the Company's operations. See the Company's accompanying reconciliations from consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated Net Income, the closest comparable GAAP-based metric. Such reconciliations are consistent with that of the Company's segment reporting disclosures to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 included in the Company's Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 24, 2008.

 
(g) Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA is Adjusted EBITDA after considering the effect of the acquisitions of MD-X and XactiMed, and certain financing secured in July 2007 as if these events had been completed on January 1, 2007.
