1Q 2017 Revenue of $27.7 million, growth of 37%; Reaffirms 2017 financial outlook

Board authorizes share repurchase

MOORESTOWN, N.J., May 01, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tabula Rasa HealthCare, Inc. (“TRHC”) (NASDAQ:TRHC), a disruptive innovation and technology leader in medication safety, offering a unique Medication Risk Stratification and Medication Risk Mitigation Matrix® suite of decision support tools, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017.

TRHC Chairman and CEO, Calvin H. Knowlton, PhD., commented, “I am incredibly pleased with our first quarter results, having met or exceeded the high end of our financial expectations. During the quarter, we expanded our leadership position in our core PACE market and saw significant levels of interest for our Medication Risk Mitigation platform across the healthcare spectrum. This increased activity is driven by the shift to value-based care and heightened awareness of the risks surrounding adverse drug events. We’ve made significant progress on several fronts towards extending the Tabula Rasa footprint to reach a broader patient population and address these concerns.

Dr. Knowlton continued, “Our pipeline remains healthy and I am very confident about our growth prospects and ability to improve patient outcomes, while simultaneously reducing avoidable costs within the healthcare system.”

Brian W. Adams, TRHC Chief Financial Officer, said, “This was a very strong start to 2017 and our first quarter results demonstrate our ability to continue penetrating the PACE market with a number of significant clients starting our service as well as operationalizing new offerings for our payor and at-risk provider market. We remain confident that our revenue ramp and margin expansion are on track for the remainder of the year. We feel that the recurring nature of our revenue, high level of organic growth, and ability to drive operating leverage as we scale will create significant value for our shareholders.”

Financial Performance for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017

All comparisons, unless otherwise noted, are to the three months ended March 31, 2016.

• Total revenue was $27.7 million, an increase of 37%. Total revenue included product revenue of $22.7 million, an increase of 28%, and service revenue of $5.0 million, an increase of 110%. Product revenue increased as a result of existing client expansion as well as the addition of a number of new clients during the quarter. The majority of the increase in service revenue was the result of the commencement of the Enhance Medication Therapy Management program on January 1, 2017.
  
  
• Gross margin was 29%, compared to 31%. The year over year decrease is primarily related to a reduction in our product gross margin which was impacted by investments related to significant new contracts implemented in the first quarter of 2017. Onboarding new clients can result in temporary reductions in gross margin as the new clients transition onto TRHC services. 
  
  
• Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA was $3.0 million, compared to $2.8 million, an increase of 7% compared to a year ago. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by growth in the business, both in the PACE market and payor and at-risk provider market. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 11% in the first quarter of 2017 compared to 14% during the same period in 2016. Adjusted EBITDA margin was impacted by transition costs related new PACE clients, costs related to operating as a public company following TRHC’s initial public offering in the third quarter of 2016, as well as the investments that will enhance our growth and were discussed in the prior quarter.
  
  
• $3.1 million of incremental stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock grants issued in connection with TRHC’s initial public offering was a significant contributing factor to TRHC’s reported net loss of $2.9 million in the quarter compared to net income of $0.2 million.
  
  
• Net loss per diluted share was $0.18, compared to net income per diluted share of $0.01. The net income per share calculations were based on a diluted share count of 16.2 million for the first quarter of 2017, compared to 12.4 million shares for the same period in 2016.
  
  
• Non-GAAP Adjusted net income per diluted share was $0.04, compared to adjusted net income per diluted share of $0.01.
  
  
• Cash at the end of the first quarter was $2.8 million compared to $4.3 million at December 31, 2016. The reduction in cash was due to a $1.5 million payment for contingent consideration made in the first quarter of 2017. No amounts were drawn on TRHC’s $25 million line of credit at the end of the first quarter or at December 31, 2016.  

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in this press release in the accompanying tables. Non-GAAP results exclude change in fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration (income) expense, payroll tax expense related to stock option exercises and stock-based compensation expense. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting all financial information required in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), TRHC is also reporting Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS, each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance or financial position that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. 

Adjusted EBITDA consists of net (loss) income plus certain other expenses, which includes interest expense, provision (benefit) for income tax, depreciation and amortization, change in fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration (income) expense, change in fair value of warrant liability, payroll tax expense related to stock option exercises and stock-based compensation expense. TRHC defines Adjusted Diluted EPS as net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders before accretion of redeemable convertible preferred stock, fair value adjustments related to the remeasurement of warrant liabilities, fair value adjustments for acquisition-related contingent consideration, payroll tax expense related to stock option exercises, stock-based compensation expense, and the tax impact of those items expressed on a per share basis using weighted average diluted shares outstanding. TRHC believes the exclusion of these items assists in providing a more complete understanding of the company’s underlying operations results and trends and allows for comparability with TRHC’s peer company index and industry and to be more consistent with TRHC’s expected capital structure on a going forward basis. Please note that other companies might define their non-GAAP financial measures differently than TRHC does.

TRHC presents these non-GAAP financial measures in this release because it considers them to be important supplemental measures of performance. TRHC uses these non-GAAP financial measures for planning purposes, including analysis of the company's performance against prior periods, the preparation of operating budgets and determination of appropriate levels of operating and capital investments. TRHC believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional insight for analysts and investors in evaluating the company's financial and operational performance. TRHC also intends to provide these non-GAAP financial measures as part of the company's future earnings discussions and, therefore, their inclusion should provide consistency in the company's financial reporting.

Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures provided in this release, including in the accompanying tables.
