CPSI (CPSI), a community healthcare solutions company, today
announced results for the fourth quarter and twelve months ended
December 31, 2017.
The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has declared a
quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share, payable on March 9, 2018, to
stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 22, 2018.
Total revenues for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2017, were
$78.1 million, compared with total revenues of $64.6 million for the
prior-year fourth quarter. Inclusive of a $28.0 million non-cash
goodwill impairment charge related to the Companys post-acute care
business, net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2017, was $21.5
million, or $1.57 per diluted share, compared with net income of $2.0
million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31,
2016. Cash provided by operations for the fourth quarter was $5.3
million, compared with cash used by operations of $468,000 for the
prior-year period.
Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2017, were $276.9
million, compared with total revenues of $267.3 million for the prior
year. Inclusive of the aforementioned non-cash goodwill impairment
charge, net loss for the year ended December 31, 2017, was $17.4
million, or $1.27 per diluted share, compared with net income of $3.9
million, or $0.29 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31,
2016. Cash provided by operations for 2017 was $23.6 million, compared
with $2.1 million for the prior year.
"Our fourth quarter financial performance was strong from both a revenue
and non-GAAP earnings perspective," said Boyd Douglas, president and
chief executive officer of CPSI.
"Looking back over 2017, we are very proud of the continued affirmation
that the value we bring to the community healthcare market is making a
real difference. This past year, we launched the CPSI Rural Accountable
Care Organization (ACO) program, experienced continued revenue growth
with TruBridge and had record bookings performance in three of the four
quarters. These bookings included a number of returning clients, and
resulted in 10.5% bookings growth across our family of companies in 2017.
"These developments have helped to steady our operations and support
CPSI and our family of companies as we continue to evolve. With our eye
toward the long-term health and growth of our company, we also took
important steps to enhance our corporate governance structure and
strategy. With the addition of three new members in the fourth quarter,
we have expanded the talent, financial expertise and industry experience
of our board of directors. We look forward to 2018, as we are well
positioned to capitalize on new growth opportunities that will help us
deliver on our shared vision of creating healthier, financially stronger
and more vibrant communities," added Douglas.
Commenting on the Companys financial performance for the quarter, Matt
Chambless, chief financial officer of CPSI, stated, "Our continued
execution around the meaningful use program and consistent success with
TruBridge offerings propelled the fourth quarter to all-time highs in
terms of revenues. These results translated into non-GAAP EPS and
Adjusted EBITDA that were their highest level since our acquisition of
Healthland in January 2016. These high marks in profitability were
achieved despite elevated general and administrative expenses, including
increased bad debt estimates for balance sheet risk related to financing
receivables and increased health claims volumes and severity While
accounting rules required us to record a non-cash goodwill impairment
charge of $28.0 million related to our post-acute care business, and
bookings volatility casted a bit of a shadow, we are proud of the fourth
quarters results and excited about our trajectory as we enter 2018.
"Looking back on the year, we were able to deliver on our commitment of
revenue and non-GAAP profitability growth for 2017 and make significant,
smart changes to our capital allocation strategy that will allow for
greater flexibility for investment in CPSIs future growth," said
Chambless.
CPSI will hold a live webcast to discuss fourth quarter and year-end
2017 results today, Thursday, February 8, 2018, at 4:30 p.m. Eastern
time. A 30-day online replay will be available approximately one hour
following the conclusion of the live webcast. To listen to the live

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report our financial results in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, or "GAAP." However,
management believes that, in order to properly understand our short-term
and long-term financial and operational trends, investors may wish to
consider the impact of certain non-cash or non-recurring items, when
used as a supplement to financial performance measures that are prepared
in accordance with GAAP. These items result from facts and circumstances
that vary in frequency and impact on continuing operations. Management
uses these non-GAAP financial measures in order to evaluate the
operating performance of the Company and compare it against past
periods, make operating decisions, and serve as a basis for strategic
planning. These non-GAAP financial measures provide management with
additional means to understand and evaluate the operating results and
trends in our ongoing business by eliminating certain non-cash expenses
and other items that management believes might otherwise make
comparisons of our ongoing business with prior periods more difficult,
obscure trends in ongoing operations, or reduce managements ability to
make useful forecasts. In addition, management understands that some
investors and financial analysts find these non-GAAP financial measures
helpful in analyzing our financial and operational performance and
comparing this performance to our peers and competitors.
As such, to supplement the GAAP information provided, we present in this
press release the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted
EBITDA, Non-GAAP net income, and Non-GAAP earnings per share ("EPS").
We calculate each of these non-GAAP financial measures as follows:
•
Adjusted EBITDA - Adjusted EBITDA
consists of GAAP net income (loss) as reported and adjusts for: (i)
deferred revenue and other adjustments arising from purchase
allocation adjustments related to the Healthland acquisition; (ii)
depreciation; (iii) amortization of acquisition-related intangible
assets; (iv) stock-based compensation; (v) non-recurring expenses and
transaction-related costs; (vi) goodwill impairment charges; (vii)
interest expense and other, net; and (viii) the provision for income
taxes.
•
Non-GAAP net income - Non-GAAP net income
consists of GAAP net income (loss) as reported and adjusts for (i)
deferred revenue and other adjustments arising from purchase
allocation adjustments related to the Healthland acquisition; (ii)
amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets; (iii)
stock-based compensation; (iv) non-recurring expenses and
transaction-related costs; (v) non-cash charges to interest expense
and other; (vi) loss on extinguishment of debt; (vii) goodwill
impairment charges; and (viii) the total tax effect of items (i)
through (vii). Adjustments to Non-GAAP net income also include the
after-tax effect of non-deductible transaction-related costs, the
effects of recent tax reform legislation, and changes in valuation
allowances for certain state NOLs acquired in the Healthland
acquisition.
•
Non-GAAP EPS - Non-GAAP EPS consists of
Non-GAAP net income, as defined above, divided by weighted average
shares outstanding (diluted) in the applicable period.
Certain of the items excluded or adjusted to arrive at these non-GAAP
financial measures are described below:
•
Deferred revenue and other adjustments -
Deferred revenue and other adjustments includes acquisition-related
deferred revenue adjustments, which reflect the fair value adjustments
to deferred revenues acquired in business acquisitions. The fair value
of deferred revenue represents an amount equivalent to the estimated
cost plus an appropriate profit margin, to perform services related to
the acquirees software and product support, which assumes a legal
obligation to do so, based on the deferred revenue balances as of the
acquisition date. We add back deferred revenue and other adjustments
for non-GAAP financial measures because we believe the inclusion of
this amount directly correlates to the underlying performance of our
operations.
•
Amortization of acquisition-related intangible
assets - Acquisition-related amortization expense is a non-cash
expense arising primarily from the acquisition of intangible assets in
connection with acquisitions or investments. We exclude
acquisition-related amortization expense from non-GAAP financial
measures because we believe (i) the amount of such expenses in any
specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying
performance of our business operations and (ii) such expenses can vary
significantly between periods as a result of new acquisitions and full
amortization of previously acquired intangible assets. Investors
should note that the use of these intangible assets contributed to
revenue in the periods presented and will contribute to future revenue
generation, and the related amortization expense will recur in future
periods.
•
Stock-based compensation - Stock-based
compensation expense is a non-cash expense arising from the grant of
stock-based awards. We exclude stock-based compensation expense from
non-GAAP financial measures because we believe (i) the amount of such
expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the
underlying performance of our business operations and (ii) such
expenses can vary significantly between periods as a result of the
timing and valuation of grants of new stock-based awards, including
grants in connection with acquisitions. Investors should note that
stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to employees whose
efforts contributed to the operating results in the periods presented
and are expected to contribute to operating results in future periods,
and such expense will recur in future periods.
•
Non-recurring expenses and transaction-related
costs - Non-recurring expenses relate to certain severance and
other charges incurred in connection with activities that are
considered one-time. Transaction-related costs are the non-recurring
costs related to specific acquisitions (such as the Healthland
acquisition). We exclude non-recurring expenses and
transaction-related costs from non-GAAP financial measures because we
believe (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not
directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business
operations and (ii) such expenses can vary significantly between
periods.
•
Goodwill impairment charges - Goodwill
impairment charges are non-cash expenses that are the result of annual
(and, if necessary, more frequently than annual) impairment tests
required by GAAP. These impairment tests are required to be on a
per-reporting-unit basis, with our accounting policy elections
resulting in any impairment being the result of the reporting unit
carrying value exceeding the estimated fair value. We exclude these
non-cash goodwill impairment charges because we believe (i) such items
are largely non-recurring in nature and (ii) the amount of such
expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the
underlying performance of our business operations.
•
Non-cash charges to interest expense and other
- Non-cash charges to interest expense and other includes amortization
of deferred debt issuance costs. We exclude non-cash charges to
interest expense and other from non-GAAP financial measures because we
believe these non-cash amounts relate to specific transactions and, as
such, may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our
business operations.
•
After-tax effect of non-deductible
transaction-related costs - Certain transaction costs incurred
in the Healthland acquisition are non-deductible for federal income
tax purposes as they are considered facilitative costs of the specific
transaction. Similar to the treatment of non-recurring expenses and
transaction-related costs, we exclude the after-tax effect of
non-deductible transaction-related costs from non-GAAP net income
because we believe (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific
period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our
business operations and (ii) such expenses can vary significantly
between periods.

Tax shortfall (excess tax benefit) from
stock-based compensation - ASU 2016-09, Improvements
to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, became effective for
the Company during the first quarter of 2017 and changes the treatment
of tax shortfall and excess tax benefits arising from stock-based
compensation arrangements. Prior to ASU 2016-09, these amounts were
recorded as an increase (for excess benefits) or decrease (for
shortfalls) to additional paid-in capital. With the adoption of ASU
2016-09, these amounts are now captured in the periods income tax
expense. We exclude this component of income tax expense from non-GAAP
financial measures because we believe (i) the amount of such expenses
or benefits in any specific period may not directly correlate to the
underlying performance of our business operations; (ii) such expenses
or benefits can vary significantly between periods as a result of the
valuation of grants of new stock-based awards, the timing of vesting
of awards, and periodic movements in the fair value of our common
stock; and (iii) excluding these amounts assists in the comparability
between current period results and results during periods prior to the
adoption of ASU 2016-09.
•
Tax reform effects - The enactment of the
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on December 22, 2017 resulted in a one-time
adjustment to deferred tax positions carried on our balance sheet to
reflect the reduced federal tax rate at which these temporary items
are expected to reverse, with a resulting non-recurring impact to that
periods income tax expense. We exclude tax reforms effects on income
tax expense from non-GAAP net income because we believe (i) such
amounts are nonrecurring in nature and (ii) are not indicative of that
periods underlying performance or ongoing operations.
•
Valuation allowance for state NOLs - As
part of the Healthland acquisition, we acquired certain state NOLs for
which a valuation allowance was established in purchase accounting
related to states which do not permit consolidated returns and for
which projected taxable income results in a conclusion that some of
these NOLs will expire unused. We exclude the impact on our periodic
income tax expense arising from changes in these valuation allowances
as we believe (i) such amounts are nonrecurring in nature and (ii) are
not indicative of that periods underlying performance or ongoing
operations.
Management considers these non-GAAP financial measures to be important
indicators of our operational strength and performance of our business
and a good measure of our historical operating trends, in particular the
extent to which ongoing operations impact our overall financial
performance. In addition, management may use Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP
net income and/or Non-GAAP EPS to measure the achievement of performance
objectives under the Companys stock and cash incentive programs. Note,
however, that these non-GAAP financial measures are performance measures
only, and they do not provide any measure of cash flow or liquidity.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not alternatives for measures of
financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be
different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures presented by other
companies, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. Non-GAAP
financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of
the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in
accordance with GAAP. Additionally, there is no certainty that we will
not incur expenses in the future that are similar to those excluded in
the calculations of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this
press release. Investors and potential investors are encouraged to
review the "Unaudited Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures"
above.
