CHICAGO, Nov. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDRX) ("Allscripts") today announced its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Third Quarter 2014 Highlights:

Bookings((1)) were $223 million, which compares to $236 million in the third quarter of 2013 and $234 million in the second quarter of 2014. The third quarter of 2013 included a significant agreement for expanded software, services and managed services with PIH Health. Excluding the impact of this agreement, bookings grew approximately 16 percent in the third quarter of 2014 on a year-over-year basis. For the first nine months of 2014, bookings totaled $680 million, an increase of approximately 8 percent over the first nine months of 2013.

New sales of Allscripts Sunrise(TM) electronic health record (EHR) platform in the U.S. and the United Kingdom helped drive bookings performance in the third quarter of 2014. The Company benefited from growth in ambulatory bookings, on both a year-over-year as well as quarter-over-quarter basis. In addition, a significant portion of Allscripts bookings were derived from the Company's industry-leading population health management solutions((2)) and managed information technology services offerings. Software as a service bookings (SaaS) were 39 percent of total bookings in the third quarter, compared with 40 percent in the third quarter of 2013.

Contract revenue backlog increased to $3.4 billion as of September 30, 2014.

"We achieved solid new sales results, reflecting new client bookings across our installed base, as well as the addition of new clients globally. Demand was healthy for our solutions in Allscripts primary end markets including health systems, post-acute care givers and physician practices around the globe."

"Delivering results for our clients is driving stronger client relationships and an enhanced competitive position. With a solid foundation, Allscripts is focused on delivering exceptional value to clients and enabling their readiness for the challenges of value-based care."

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Allscripts reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. To supplement this information, Allscripts presents in this release non-GAAP revenue, gross profit, SG&A, operating expense, operating income and net income, including non-GAAP net income on a per share basis, non-GAAP effective income tax rate, and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures under Section 101 of Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.




    --  Non-GAAP revenue consists of GAAP revenue as reported and adds back
        deferred revenue and other adjustments recorded for GAAP purposes.


    --  Non-GAAP gross profit consists of GAAP gross profit as reported and adds
        back deferred revenue and other adjustments booked for GAAP purposes and
        excludes acquisition-related amortization, stock-based compensation
        expense, and non-recurring expenses and transaction-related costs.
        Non-GAAP gross profit margin consists of non-GAAP gross profit as a
        percentage of non-GAAP revenue, as defined above.  For the third quarter
        of 2014, non-GAAP gross profit margin totaled 42.3 percent consisting of
        non-GAAP gross profit of $146.9 million divided by total non-GAAP
        revenue of $347.7 million.  For the third quarter of 2013, non-GAAP
        gross profit margin totaled 43.6 percent consisting of non-GAAP gross
        profit of $145.6 million divided by total non-GAAP revenue of $334.2
        million.  Reconciliations to total non-GAAP revenue and total non-GAAP
        gross profit are found in this press release in Table 4.


    --  Non-GAAP SG&A consists of GAAP selling, general and administrative
        expenses (SG&A), as reported and excludes non-recurring expenses and
        transaction-related costs and stock-based compensation expense recorded
        to SG&A.   For the third quarter of 2014, non-GAAP SG&A totaled $79.1
        million consisting of $97.0 million of GAAP SG&A, excluding $2.8 million
        of severance and other costs, $6.4 million of MyWay product
        consolidation expense, $0.8 million of transaction expense and $7.9
        million of stock-based compensation expense.  For the third quarter of
        2013, non-GAAP SG&A totaled $84.1 million consisting of $104.6 million
        of GAAP SG&A, excluding $12.1 million of severance and other costs, $1.8
        million of transaction expense and $6.6 million of stock-based
        compensation expense.


    --  Non-GAAP operating expense consists of GAAP selling, general and
        administrative expenses (SG&A) and research and development, as reported
        and excludes non-recurring expenses and transaction-related costs and
        stock-based compensation expense recorded to SG&A and R&D.  For the
        third quarter of 2014, non-GAAP operating expense totaled $124.2 million
        consisting of $97.0 million of GAAP SG&A and $45.9 million of GAAP
        research and development expense and excludes $10.0 million of total
        non-recurring expense and transaction-related costs and $8.7 million of
        stock-based compensation expense recorded to SG&A and R&D.  For the
        third quarter of 2013, non-GAAP operating expense totaled $129.9 million
        consisting of $104.6 million of GAAP SG&A and $49.4 million of GAAP
        research and development expense and excludes $15.7 million of total
        non-recurring expense and transaction-related costs and $8.4 million of
        stock-based compensation expense recorded to SG&A and R&D.


    --  Non-GAAP operating income consists of GAAP operating income/(loss) as
        reported and adds back deferred revenue and other adjustments booked for
        GAAP purposes and excludes acquisition-related amortization, stock-based
        compensation expense, non-recurring expenses and transaction-related
        costs, and non-cash asset impairment charges.


    --  Non-GAAP net income consists of GAAP net income/(loss) as reported, and
        adds back deferred revenue and other adjustments, acquisition-related
        amortization, stock-based compensation expense, non-recurring expenses
        and transaction-related costs, non-cash charges to interest expense and
        other, and non-cash asset impairment charges, in each case net of any
        related tax effects.  Non-GAAP net income also includes a tax rate
        alignment adjustment.


    --  Non-GAAP effective income tax rate is based on non-GAAP pre-tax earnings
        and consists of the statutory federal income rate, Allscripts effective
        state income tax rate, and adjustments for permanent differences.
    --  Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and consists of GAAP net income
        (loss) as reported and adjusts for: tax provision (benefit); interest
        expense and other income, net; stock-based compensation expense;
        depreciation and amortization; deferred revenue and other adjustments;
        non-recurring and transaction-related costs; and non-cash asset
        impairment charges.

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 acquiree's software and product support, which assumes a legal obligation to do so, based on the deferred revenue balances as of the acquisition date. Also included are adjustments for the vesting of a warrant issued to a commercial partner and the effects of straight-lining contractual pricing adjustments over the performance period. Allscripts adds back deferred revenue and other adjustments for its non-GAAP financial measures because it believes the inclusion of this amount directly correlates to the underlying performance of Allscripts operations.

Acquisition-Related Amortization. Acquisition-related amortization expense is a non-cash expense arising primarily from the acquisition of intangible assets in connection with acquisitions or investments. Allscripts excludes acquisition-related amortization expense from non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP net income because it believes (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of Allscripts 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 Expense. Stock-based compensation expense is a non-cash expense arising from the grant of stock-based awards to employees. Allscripts excludes stock-based compensation expense from non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and Adjusted EBITDA because it believes (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of Allscripts business operations and (ii) such expenses can vary significantly between periods as a result of the timing 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, product consolidation, legal proceedings, consulting, and other charges incurred in connection with activities that are considered one-time. Transaction-related costs include deferred compensation expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition of dbMotion, Ltd.

Allscripts excludes non-recurring expenses and transaction-related costs from non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and Adjusted EBITDA because it believes (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of Allscripts business operations and (ii) such expenses can vary significantly between periods.

Non-Cash Charges to Interest Expense and Other. Non-cash charges to interest expense and other includes non-cash amortization of the fair value of the cash conversion option embedded in the 1.25 percent Cash Convertible Notes issued by Allscripts during the second quarter of 2013. Also included in this amount are non-cash adjustments to reflect changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments related to the 1.25 percent Cash Convertible Notes that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.

Non-Cash Asset Impairment Charges. Asset impairment charges relate primarily to product consolidation activities.

Tax Rate Alignment. Tax adjustment to align the applicable period's effective tax rate to the expected annual non-GAAP effective tax rate. Accordingly, the non-GAAP effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 excludes the impact of deferred tax asset valuation allowance adjustments recorded in the third quarter.

Management also believes that non-GAAP revenue, gross profit, SG&A, operating expense, operating income, net income and non-GAAP net income on a per share basis, and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding the underlying performance of Allscripts business operations. Acquisition accounting adjustments made in accordance with GAAP can make it difficult to make meaningful comparisons of the underlying operations of the business without considering the non-GAAP adjustments provided and discussed herein. Management also uses this information internally for forecasting and budgeting, as it believes that these measures are indicative of core operating results. In addition, management may use non-GAAP revenue, SG&A, operating expense, operating income, net income and/or Adjusted EBITDA to measure achievement under Allscripts stock and cash incentive compensation plans. Note, however, that non-GAAP revenue, gross profit, operating income and net income and non-GAAP net income on a per share basis and Adjusted EBITDA are performance measures only, and they do not provide any measure of cash flow or liquidity. Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Allscripts results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Investors and potential investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures with GAAP financial measures contained within the attached condensed consolidated financial statements.
