R1 RCM Reports Third Quarter 2024 Results

MURRAY, Utah, Nov. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- R1 RCM Inc. (NASDAQ:RCM) ("R1" or the "Company"), a leading provider of technology-driven solutions that transform the patient experience and financial performance of healthcare providers, today announced results for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Third Quarter 2024 Results:

• Revenue of $656.8 million, up $84.0 million or 14.7% compared to the same period last year.
• GAAP net loss of $19.9 million, compared to net income of $1.3 million in the same period last year.
• Adjusted EBITDA of $148.2 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $161.5 million in the same period last year.
  
  

The quarter reflects impacts to both revenue and costs as a result of recent vendor and customer outages.

"R1 continued to successfully execute the onboarding of our newest end-to-end partner while navigating previously disclosed industry and customer-specific technology outages," stated Jennifer Williams, R1 CFO. "We are proud of the work our global associates are doing on behalf of our customers and remain committed to delivering positive outcomes for the provider industry."

Guidance

Due to the previously announced proposed acquisition of R1, the Company is not providing financial guidance.

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, including adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP cost of services, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses, and net debt. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as GAAP net income (loss) before net interest income/expense, income tax provision/benefit, depreciation and amortization expense, including the amortization of cloud computing arrangement implementation fees, share-based compensation expense, CoyCo 2, L.P. ("CoyCo 2") share-based compensation expense, and certain other items, including costs incurred in connection with acquisition and integration initiatives, including costs related to the proposed Merger, exit activities, strategic and transformation initiatives to improve the Company's business alignment and cost structure, review of strategic alternatives, and stockholder litigation. Non-GAAP cost of services is defined as GAAP cost of services less share-based compensation expense, CoyCo 2 share-based compensation expense, and depreciation and amortization expense attributed to cost of services. Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses is defined as GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses less share-based compensation expense, CoyCo 2 share-based compensation expense, and depreciation and amortization expense attributed to selling, general and administrative expenses. Net debt is defined as debt less cash and cash equivalents, inclusive of restricted cash. Adjusted EBITDA guidance is reconciled to operating income guidance, the most closely comparable available GAAP measure.

Our board of directors and management team use adjusted EBITDA 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. Non-GAAP cost of services and non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses are used to calculate adjusted EBITDA. Net debt is used as a supplemental measure of our liquidity.

Tables 4 through 7 present a reconciliation of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
