2.1% on a sequential basis from $108.3 million in the first quarter of 2017.

 

·                  Cost of revenue for the second quarter of 2017 was $37.2 million, or 33.6% of revenue, compared with 34.9% of revenue for the second quarter of 2016. This translates into gross margin for the second quarter of 2017 of 66.4% compared with 65.1% for the second quarter of 2016, an increase of 130 basis points. Gross margin for the second quarter of 2017 also increased 170 basis points on a sequential basis from the first quarter of 2017.

 

·                  Net income for the second quarter of 2017 was $5.5 million, resulting in diluted net income per share of $0.04, compared with $16.3 million and $0.11 per share, respectively, for the second quarter of 2016. On a sequential basis, net income for the second quarter of 2017 increased by $1.8 million, and diluted net income per share increased by $0.02 in comparison to the first quarter of 2017.

 

·                  Adjusted EBITDA was $27.7 million for the second quarter of 2017, compared with $40.8 million for the second quarter of 2016. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 25.1% in the second quarter of 2017, compared with 32.9% for the second quarter of 2016.

“We are again pleased with our execution in the quarter,” said Chris Greiner, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer of Inovalon. “Inovalon delivered revenue ahead of expectations with sustained gross margin expansion on both a year-over-year and sequential basis, driven by our continued investments in technology-enabled efficiency initiatives as well as favorable offering mix. With the headwinds we have previously discussed largely behind us, our platform capabilities being well received within the marketplace, and multiple demonstrations of meaningful contract wins, we look forward to returning to double-digit revenue growth in the second half of 2017.”

 

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.

Key Highlights

 

·                  Continued Sequential Improvement Ahead of Expectations. Second quarter 2017 revenue of $110.6 million was above the Company’s expected range, improving 2.1% on a sequential basis. Gross margin in the second quarter improved by 130 basis points over the prior year’s second quarter and 170 basis points on a sequential basis, representing continued operating leverage from both technology-enabled efficiency initiatives and higher-margin offering mix. The Company’s investments in new cloud-based offerings, connectivity, modularity and technology-enabled automation continue to generate strong returns on investment. The Company continued to increase its investment in Sales & Marketing and R&D, which combined were 14.6% of revenue in the second quarter of 2017 versus 11.2% in the prior year’s second quarter and 14.2% in the first quarter of 2017. Even with these investments, the increase in gross margin in the second quarter of 2017 resulted in Adjusted EBITDA above the Company’s expected range.

 

·                  Continued Investments in Innovation Enable The Inovalon ONE™ Platform. Inovalon’s Investment in Innovation grew to $62.4 million in 2016 from $44.5 million in 2014, an increase of more than 40%. In the first half of 2017, Investment in Innovation of $39.6 million was up 41% on a year-over-year basis. As a result of these ongoing technology investments, particularly design initiatives focused on modularity, cloud native architecture, real-time transactional processing, and enhanced data visualization, Inovalon brought together more than 80 of its individual proprietary technology toolsets, referred to as Components, each supporting critical healthcare ecosystem functionality needs. Components have been configured into integrated sets identified as Modules, which together form one, cohesive, integrated technology platform — recently branded as “Inovalon ONE™” — that yields dramatic increases in flexibility, performance and operational cost efficiency. The Inovalon ONE™ Platform leverages Inovalon’s highly differentiated scale of connectivity within the healthcare ecosystem, depth of real-world primary-source clinical datasets, sophisticated analytical capabilities, breadth of point-of-care impact capabilities and deep subject matter expertise, empowering organizations across the healthcare industry to design and implement complex, multi-party, value-based arrangements.

 

·                  Multiple National Health Plans Select the Inovalon ONE™ Platform. The powerful combination of capabilities delivered by the Inovalon ONE™ Platform is proving increasingly valuable to a wide range of organizations and is witnessing strong interest from across the healthcare marketplace. Demonstrating this interest in the platform, Inovalon recently entered into multi-year engagements with two separate national health plans. Under these agreements, Inovalon is implementing the Inovalon ONE™ Platform to empower several value-based initiatives involving approximately 15 million health plan members spanning Medicare Advantage, managed Medicaid and commercial programs. In addition, Inovalon’s engagement for the Value-Based Provider Platform by a top-five national health plan, which the Company previously described in its earnings release on February 22, 2017, was the first engagement utilizing the Components and Modules of the Inovalon ONE™ Platform, and involves nearly 20 million patients.

Demonstrating the extensibility of the Inovalon ONE™ Platform, since the announcement made by the Company on July 17, 2017 one of the two referenced national health plans has already entered into an additional five year agreement expanding the number of Components leveraged within the Inovalon ONE™ Platform to activate additional clinical quality improvement capabilities.

 

·                  Inovalon Certified and Receiving Fee-For-Service Medicare Data under CMS Qualified Entity (QE) Program in all 50 States and the District of Columbia. During the second quarter of 2017, Inovalon began receiving data under the CMS Qualified Entity (QE) Program for all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The QE Program enables organizations meeting detailed requirements pertaining to performance measurement, data management, security, and existing data volume to receive identified fee-for-service Medicare Parts A, B, and D medical and pharmacy claims data for use in promoting value, health outcomes, and performance improvement in the healthcare system. Under the QE agreement with CMS, Inovalon is in the process of receiving data for all Medicare fee-for-service patients back to 2009 and, following the completion of the “bring current” process data feeds, will be maintained current for the U.S. fee-for-service Medicare data across all 50 states and the District of Columbia going forward. The addition of this data will further differentiate Inovalon’s advanced analytic capabilities, deepen the Company’s data pools used for machine learning model training, enhance the Company’s ability to support value-based initiatives through its Inovalon ONE™ Platform, and expand what is already one of the healthcare industry’s largest and deepest proprietary datasets. The QE Program data will be longitudinally-matched and incorporated into the Company’s de-identified MORE2 Registry®.

 

·                  Continued Expansion of Proprietary Datasets and Connectivity. Inovalon’s expanding client base, breadth of offerings, connectivity, and influx of data from the QE Program in the second quarter of 2017 drove dramatic expansions in the Company’s proprietary datasets during the period. The scale and nature of the data influx is such that only preliminary estimates are being provided for the MORE2 Registry® dataset at this time. These estimates indicate that upon completion of the incorporation of the aforementioned dataset expansions, Inovalon’s MORE2 Registry® dataset will expand to more than 230 million unique patients and nearly 30 billion medical events, representing year-over-year increases of approximately 67% and 155%, respectively, if measured as of June 30, 2017. The Company expects to see continued strong expansion of its proprietary datasets through the remainder of 2017. In addition, at the end of the second quarter of 2017, Inovalon had direct electronic health record (EHR) connectivity with more than 108,000 providers, an increase of over 280% on a year-over-year basis. Inovalon’s proprietary datasets, along with the analytics and insights they power, and extensive connectivity represent significant differentiators for the Company in the healthcare marketplace.

 

·                  Expect Approximately 17% Year-over-Year Revenue Growth in 2H 2017 at the Midpoint of Updated Guidance. The previously-discussed headwinds which impacted Inovalon’s performance during the second half of 2016 and the first half of 2017 have run

their course as expected, materially diminishing as of the end of the second quarter of 2017. Now, with the passing of these headwinds, and with the Company’s platform capabilities being well received within the marketplace, the Company expects to see double-digit year-over-year revenue growth in the second half of 2017. Specifically, growth is expected to be approximately 17% on a reported basis and approximately 10% on an organic basis at the midpoint of updated guidance, with revenue growth accelerating from the third quarter to the fourth quarter of 2017. In addition, given the top-line growth, as well as continued benefit from favorable offering mix and technology-enabled efficiency initiatives, Inovalon expects to see further expansion of profitability in the second half of 2017, particularly on a year-over-year basis.

 

Other Financial Data and Key Metrics

 

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

 

·                  Growth of Datasets: As of June 30, 2017, only preliminary estimates for the MORE2 Registry® dataset counts were available due to the ongoing arrival of very high volumes of data. It is estimated that upon the completion of the processing of newly arriving data, the MORE2 Registry® dataset will contain more than 230 million unique patient counts and nearly 30 billion medical event counts, which would reflect increases of approximately 67% and 155%, respectively, compared with June 30, 2016.

 

·                  Investment in Innovation: For the quarter ended June 30, 2017, Inovalon’s ongoing investment supporting innovations in advanced, cloud-based platforms empowering a data-driven transformation from volume-based to value-based models was $21.9 million, or 20% of revenue, an increase of $5.4 million, or 32%, compared to the prior year period.

 

·                  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 31.2 billion as of June 30, 2017, an increase of 29% as compared with June 30, 2016.

 

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

 

During the second quarter of 2017, Inovalon continued to repurchase shares of its Class A common stock in the open market, pursuant to its previously-announced share repurchase program, repurchasing approximately 1.6 million shares of Class A common stock for a total of $19.8 million. This brings the total number of shares repurchased from the open market since the start of the repurchase program to approximately 11.2 million shares as of June 30, 2017. As of June 30, 2017, approximately $48.6 million remained available to repurchase shares under the Company’s share repurchase program. As of July 28, 2017, the Company had 63,313,515 shares

of Class A common stock outstanding and 82,498,213 shares of Class B common stock outstanding.

 

Acquisition

 

Amongst Inovalon’s capabilities are i) analytical capabilities that identify patients in need of specific clinical encounters and the specific details of greatest value to address during such encounters, ii) software platforms that facilitate the scheduling and logistical coordination of necessary clinical encounters, and iii) software platforms that empower decision support for clinical encounters. In the setting of expanding demand for these analytical capabilities, and in an effort to secure additional reliable, high-quality operational capacity to support this growing demand, on July 6, 2017, Inovalon acquired Complex Care Solutions (CCS), a company which provides technology-enabled interventions and member engagement coordination services for a number of payers and employers throughout the United States. Inovalon had grown to become the largest utilizer of CCS’ capacity on behalf of Inovalon’s clients, representing more than half of CCS’ business on a continuing basis. Consideration for the deal was approximately $3 million in cash and the assumption of a similar amount of debt. After the netting of revenue, the realization of the known discontinuation of certain non-Inovalon business conducted by CCS, and the implementation of operational and technological integration, it is expected that the acquisition of CCS will contribute an incremental $6 million in revenue during the second half of 2017 (approximately $2 million and $4 million in Q3 and Q4, respectively) and will negatively impact Adjusted EBITDA by approximately $2.5 million during the second half of 2017. This near-term negative impact is expected to be offset by continued gross margin expansion and other overhead efficiencies in Inovalon’s business. The Company expects the acquisition of CCS to be accretive to earnings in 2018.

 

2017 Financial Guidance

 

Inovalon is adjusting the full-year 2017 guidance previously issued by the Company on February 22, 2017 and reiterated on May 3, 2017, to reflect the acquisition of CCS described above, our strong year-to-date performance, and updated visibility into second half 2017 expectations. The updated 2017 guidance is summarized as follows:

Key Metrics

(unaudited)

 

The Company believes the key metrics illustrated in the tables below are indicative of its overall level of analytical activity and its underlying growth in the business.

 

 

 

As of June 30,

 

(In thousands)

 

2017

 

2016

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MORE2 Registry® dataset metrics:

 

 

 

 

 

Unique patient count(1)(4)

 

230,000

 

137,490

 

Medical event count(2)(4)

 

30,000,000

 

11,755,048

 

Trailing 12 month Patient Analytics Months (PAM)(3) 

 

31,226,926

 

24,267,703

 

 


(1)         Unique patient count is defined as each unique, longitudinally matched, de-identified natural person represented in the MORE2 Registry® as of the end of the period presented.

(2)         Medical event count is defined as the total number of discrete medical events as of the end of the period presented (for example, a discrete medical event typically results from the presentation of a patient to a physician for the diagnosis of diabetes and congestive heart failure in a single visit, the presentation of a patient to an emergency department for chest pain, etc.).

(3)         Patient Analytics Months, or PAM, is defined as the sum of the analytical processes performed on each respective patient within patient populations covered by clients under contract. As used in the metric, an “analytical process” is a distinct set of data calculations undertaken by the Company which is initiated and completed by the Company’s analytical platform to examine a specific question such as whether a patient is believed to have a condition such as diabetes, or worsening of the disease, during a specific time period.

(4)         As of June 30, 2017, the Company was processing large unique patient count and medical event count dataset transmissions.  For this reason, June 30, 2017 unique patient count and medical event count amounts vary from historical calculation methodologies, and represent estimates pending final MORE2 Registry® dataset incorporation and processing.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Inovalon provides the measures Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Non-GAAP

 



 

Inovalon Holdings, Inc.

Q2 2017 Earnings Release

August 2, 2017

Page 15 of 16

 

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

 



 

Inovalon Holdings, Inc.

Q2 2017 Earnings Release

August 2, 2017

Page 16 of 16

 

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.
