BOWIE, Md., July 31, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inovalon (Nasdaq: INOV), a leading provider of cloud-based platforms empowering data-driven healthcare, today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2019 and guidance for the third quarter and remainder of 2019.

“Sales during the quarter were notably broad-based with both significant multi-year sales to top-25 payer and pharmacy organizations, and hundreds of sales into provider and pharmaceutical organizations,” said Keith Dunleavy, M.D., Inovalon’s chief executive officer and chairman of the board. “The increasing demand for our platform drove strong 39% sequential new sales growth and 8% sequential organic revenue growth during the quarter. The continued momentum is being seen in our trailing twelve-month performance, revealing a 69% increase in new platform sales and a 23% increase in revenue. As sales continue to mount and convert into revenue, we are pleased by how the year is shaping up, and we are excited as we look past 2019.”

“We are seeing a continued strong progression of product mix shift with the Inovalon ONE® Platform toward higher value and higher efficiency data-driven cloud-based offerings,” said Jonathan R. Boldt, Inovalon’s chief financial officer. “This shift toward higher-value modules being adopted by our clients, in conjunction with our focus on process automation, connectivity, and operating efficiencies, supports continued operational leverage and expanding profitability and cash flow generation strength. This is driving an impressive 17% sequential Adjusted EBITDA growth, with trailing twelve-month performance revealing a 61% increase in Adjusted EBITDA, a 66% increase in Non-GAAP net income per share, and a dramatic $62.2 million increase in free cash flow3 versus the year-ago period.”

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Non-GAAP net income, and free cash flow are Non-GAAP measures. Net income is the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP net income. Net cash provided by operating activities is the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to free cash flow. Reconciliations of net income to Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP net income and reconciliations of net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow identifying the differences between net income and net cash provided by operating activities and each of these Non-GAAP financial measures, are included in this press release after the consolidated financial statements.

Key Highlights

  • Continued Strong Market Demand & Sales Success.  Demand for the cloud-based Inovalon ONE® Platform continued to be strong in the second quarter, with new sales (excluding Services) signed from new logo contract wins and existing customer expansions totaling $38.7 million in ACV, up 39% sequentially from $27.8 million in the first quarter of 2019. Sales were notably broad-based with both significant multi-year sales to top-25 payer and pharmacy organizations and hundreds of sales into provider and pharmaceutical organizations.
  • New Capabilities Supporting Continued Mix Shift to Higher Value and Differentiation. During the second quarter, Inovalon continued to introduce new platform configurations and capabilities including implementations of clinical, treatment, outcome, social determinant, and sociodemographics data elements to inform population health initiatives; applications of AI informing dynamics such as patient fall risk, post-acute care staffing, and disease identification; and analytics involving genetic testing results for the pharmaceutical marketplace. These releases garnered significant interest within the quarter, already resulting in new sales to clients implementing across populations of nearly three million patients which will begin implementing during the second half of the year.
  • Scale, Product Mix & Platform Efficiency Driving Strong Margin Performance. Client demand for increasingly sophisticated cloud-based solutions, higher compute speeds and analytical response times, the integration and application of broader data types, and more advanced forms of analytics are driving greater value realization for clients and strong price points for the Company. Additionally, the efficiency of Inovalon’s platform in the setting of the growing scale of the business is translating into further demonstration of the Company’s operating leverage. Together, these factors supported strong margin performance during the quarter. Gross margins were strong at 73.8%, G&A as a percentage of revenue decreased to 29%, and Adjusted EBITDA came in at $52.2 million.
  • Continued Strength in Inovalon’s TTM Performance. Strength across multiple measures continues to gain momentum for the Company, translating into strong trailing twelve-month metrics. New platform sales ACV (excluding Services) for the TTM period were $156.3 million, up 69% when compared to the second quarter 2018 TTM period. Revenue for the TTM period was $584.6 million, up 23% when compared to the second quarter 2018 TTM period. Adjusted EBITDA rose to $188.0 million, up 61% when compared to the second quarter 2018 TTM period. Non-GAAP net income per share was $0.39, up 63% when compared to the second quarter 2018 TTM period. Free cash flow was $58.9 million, up $62.2 million when compared to the second quarter 2018 TTM period.

Other Financial Data and Key Metrics

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

  • Growth of Datasets: At June 30, 2019, the MORE2 Registry® dataset contained more than 278 million unique patient counts and 46 billion medical event counts, increases of 10% and 16%, respectively, compared with June 30, 2018. Data resulting from the integration with ABILITY is not yet fully reflected within the MORE2 Registry® dataset and is therefore not fully reflected within the aforementioned data metrics as of this date.
  • Investment in Innovation: For the quarter ended June 30, 2019, Inovalon’s ongoing investment supporting innovations in advanced, cloud-based platforms empowering data-driven healthcare was $17.1 million, or 11% of revenue, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 13%, compared to the prior year period, bringing the amount back toward historical levels.
  • Analytical Process Count Growth: Inovalon’s trailing twelve-month Patient Analytics Months (“PAM”) count, which the Company believes is indicative of the Company’s overall level of analytical activity, grew to 55.1 billion as of June 30, 2019, an increase of 19% as compared with June 30, 2018.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Inovalon provides the measures Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Non-GAAP net income as additional information for evaluating the Company’s operating results and free cash flow as a liquidity measure to evaluate the Company’s ability to generate cash to support its ongoing business to service and repay debt, and to invest in its business. 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 are 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, other expense, net, interest income, interest expense, provision for income taxes, stock-based compensation, acquisition costs (including transaction costs, integration costs, costs related to contingent consideration accretion and compensatory contingent consideration), restructuring expense, 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 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 and Non-GAAP net income per share

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 (including transaction costs, integration costs, costs related to contingent consideration accretion and compensatory contingent consideration), restructuring expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, amortization of debt issuance costs and debt discount, tax on equity exercises, and other non-comparable items.

The Company defines Non-GAAP basic net income per share as Non-GAAP net income divided by basic weighted average shares outstanding. The Company defines Non-GAAP diluted net income per share as Non-GAAP net income divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

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.

Free cash flow

The Company defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities calculated in accordance with GAAP less purchases of property and equipment and less investments in capitalized software. The Company uses free cash flow as a liquidity measure to evaluate its ability to generate cash to support its ongoing business operations, to service and repay debt, and to invest in its businesses. However, use of free cash flow has limitations, and investors and others should not consider this measure in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s liquidity as reported under GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in Inovalon’s industry, might calculate free cash flow or similarly titled measures differently, which may reduce their usefulness as comparative measures.
