“R1’s fourth quarter results reflect the continued progress we are making in executing on our objectives and establishing a path towards sustained profitability,” said Joe Flanagan, President and Chief Executive Officer of R1. “2016 overall was a pivotal year for R1 – in addition to renewal and expansion of our agreement with Ascension, we renewed our agreement with Intermountain Healthcare, added significant expertise to our senior management team, streamlined our cost structure, and generated substantial improvement in our financial results during the second half of the year. The progress we have made gives us confidence in our outlook for 2017 and we firmly believe it also positions us well for new customer growth.”

“We remain focused on driving our performance to achieve our financial and strategic objectives. Our 2017 guidance marks significant anticipated improvement over 2016, and is reflective of the actions we took in 2016 to improve our execution,” added Chris Ricaurte, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of R1. “I am also pleased that we have remediated the previously disclosed material weaknesses in our internal controls and simplified our financial reporting as a result of adopting the new revenue recognition standard in 2017.”

2017 Outlook
For 2017, R1 currently expects to generate:

  • Revenue of between $400 million and $425 million
  • GAAP operating loss of $25 million to $30 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA $0 to positive $5 million

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In order to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by R1’s management team in financial and operational decision making, the Company supplements its GAAP consolidated financial statements with certain non-GAAP financial measures, which are included in this press release. These include gross and net cash generated from customer contracting activities and adjusted EBITDA. Our Board and management team use these non-GAAP measures as (i) one of the primary methods for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations; and (ii) a performance evaluation metric in determining achievement of certain executive incentive compensation programs, as well as for incentive compensation programs for employees.

Gross cash generated from customer contracting activities is defined as GAAP net services revenue, plus the change in deferred customer billings. Accordingly, gross cash generated from customer contracting activities is the sum of (i) invoiced or accrued net operating fees, (ii) cash collections on incentive fees and (iii) other services fees.  Net cash generated from customer contracting activities reflects non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and the change in deferred customer billings.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before net interest income (expense), income tax provision, depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, reorganization-related expense and certain other items. The use of adjusted EBITDA to measure operating and financial performance is limited by our revenue recognition criteria, pursuant to which GAAP net services revenue is recognized at the end of a contract or other contractual agreement event.  Adjusted EBITDA does not adequately match corresponding cash flows from customer contracting activities.  As a result, the Company uses gross cash and net cash generated from customer contracting activities to better compare cash flows to operating performance.

Deferred customer billings include the portion of both (i) invoiced or accrued net operating fees and (ii) cash collections of incentive fees, in each case, that have not met our revenue recognition criteria. Deferred customer billings are included in the detail of our customer liabilities, and customer liabilities – related party balance in the condensed consolidated balance sheets available in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Table 4 presents a reconciliation of GAAP revenue to gross cash generated from customer contracting activities,  and Table 5 presents a reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss), the most comparable GAAP measure, to adjusted EBITDA and net cash generated from customer contracting activities, in each case, for each of the periods indicated.  Table 9 presents a reconciliation of projected GAAP operating income, which will be the most comparable GAAP measure for future periods following the adoption of the new revenue recognition standard, to projected Adjusted EBITDA. These adjusted measures are non-GAAP and should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
