Cerner Reports First Quarter 2010 Results
Strong Bookings, Revenue, Earnings, and Cash Flow

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — April 28, 2010 — Cerner Corporation (NASDAQ: CERN) today announced results for the 2010 first quarter that ended April 3, 2010, delivering strong levels of bookings, revenue, earnings and cash flow.

Bookings in the first quarter of 2010 were $404.9 million, up 22 percent from $332.8 million in the first quarter of 2009 and an all-time high level of first quarter bookings. First quarter revenue was $431.3 million, up 10 percent compared to $392.3 million in the year-ago period.

On a Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) basis, first quarter 2010 net earnings were $50.3 million, and diluted earnings per share were $0.59. First quarter 2009 GAAP net earnings were $40.8 million, and diluted earnings per share were $0.49.

Adjusted (non-GAAP) Earnings

Adjusted first quarter 2010 net earnings were $53.7 million, an increase of 24 percent compared to $43.3 million of adjusted net earnings in the first quarter of 2009. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.63 in the first quarter of 2010 compared to $0.52 of adjusted diluted earnings per share in the first quarter of 2009. Analysts’ consensus estimate for first quarter 2010 adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.61.

Adjusted Net Earnings is not a recognized term under GAAP and should not be substituted for net earnings as a measure of the Company’s performance but instead should be utilized as a supplemental measure of financial performance in evaluating our business. Following is a description of adjustments made to net earnings. For more detail, please see the accompanying schedule, titled “Reconciliation of Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share to GAAP Net Earnings and Diluted Earnings Per Share.”

Adjusted first quarter 2010 and 2009 net earnings and diluted earnings per share exclude share based compensation expense, which reduced first quarter 2010 net earnings and diluted earnings per share by $3.5 million and $0.04, respectively, and reduced first quarter 2009 net earnings and diluted earnings per share by $2.5 million and $0.03, respectively.

Other First Quarter Highlights:

• First quarter cash collections of $483.7 million and operating cash flow of $105.5 million.

• Free cash flow of $52.9 million. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as operating cash flow less capital expenditures and capitalized software. For more detail, please see the accompanying schedule, titled “Reconciliation of GAAP Operating Cash Flow to non-GAAP Free Cash Flow.”

• Days sales outstanding of 89 days compared to 90 days in the fourth quarter of 2009 and 102 days in the year-ago quarter.

• Total revenue backlog of $4.32 billion, up 21 percent over the year-ago quarter. This is comprised of $3.70 billion of contract backlog and $626 million of support and maintenance backlog.

“Our first quarter results demonstrate a good start to the year, with record performance across several key metrics, including strong bookings, revenue, earnings, and cash flow,” said Neal Patterson, Cerner chairman, CEO and co-founder. “We are seeing initial demand related to the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) provisions in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), and expect this to build as we move through the year,” Patterson said.

Future Period Guidance

Cerner currently expects:

• Second quarter 2010 revenue between $440 million and $455 million.

• Second quarter 2010 adjusted diluted earnings per share before share based compensation expense between $0.64 and $0.69.

• Second quarter 2010 new business bookings between $430 million and $460 million.

• Full-year 2010 revenue between $1.80 billion and $1.875 billion.

• Full-year 2010 adjusted diluted earnings per share before share based compensation expense between $2.80 and $2.90.

• Share based compensation expense to reduce diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.04 in the second quarter of 2010 and between $0.16 and $0.18 for the year.
