FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Emdeon Reports Third Quarter 2014 Results
| • | Revenue of $341.6 million for Third Quarter 2014 |
| • | Adjusted EBITDA of $94.1 million for Third Quarter 2014 |
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (November 7, 2014) – Emdeon Inc., a leading provider of healthcare revenue and payment cycle management and clinical information exchange solutions, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014 as summarized below:
| (In millions) | 3Q 2014 | 3Q 2013 | % Change | |||||||||
| Revenue |
$ | 341.6 | $ | 317.8 | 7.5 | % | ||||||
| Net Loss |
$ | 13.0 | $ | 16.3 | 20.1 | % | ||||||
| Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA |
$ | 94.1 | $ | 85.2 | 10.3 | % | ||||||
“We remain pleased with our Adjusted EBITDA and revenue growth trajectory. The 10.3% increase in Adjusted EBITDA over the prior year period and expansion of Adjusted EBITDA margin to 27.5% for the quarter was largely due to revenue growth and continued productivity improvements throughout our business. Our revenue growth was driven by increased sales of our solutions and volume gains due to the increase in the number of insured lives of our customers,” said Neil de Crescenzo, president and chief executive officer for Emdeon. “Our integration efforts related to the July 2014 Capario acquisition and its suite of innovative, cloud-based applications are going well. During the third quarter, we were able to fully repay the portion of the purchase price that was funded by our revolving credit facility through operating cash flow, and are already enjoying positive impacts to our financial results.”
Third quarter revenue was $341.6 million, an increase of 7.5%, compared to $317.8 million for the same period in 2013. This increase in revenue was primarily due to business growth, including the Capario acquisition, partially offset by a one-time reduction of revenue. Net loss for the third quarter of 2014 was $13.0 million compared to $16.3 million for the same period in 2013. This improvement in net loss was primarily due to business growth.
Third quarter 2014 Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA increased 10.3% to $94.1 million, or 27.5% of revenue, from Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA of $85.2 million, or 26.8% of revenue, for the comparable period in 2013. This increase in Adjusted EBITDA and as a percentage of revenue compared to the same period in 2013 is primarily due to business growth and productivity improvements throughout the business, partially offset by increased investments related to sales and product development initiatives and the one-time reduction of revenue described above.
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). 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 (loss) before net interest expense, income tax provision (benefit) 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 also are used in our credit facilities and indentures, although the adjustments used to calculate Adjusted EBITDA as used in our credit facilities and indentures may 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 operating performance.
