  • Total revenues of $27.3 million, compared to total revenues of $25.7 million in the prior year period.

  • Adjusted net loss was $3.0 million, or $(0.04) per diluted share, compared to adjusted net loss of $3.6 million, or $(0.05) per diluted share, in the prior year period.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $(1.2) million, compared to $(1.7) million in the prior year period.

First Quarter 2024 Results

Healthcare revenues in the first quarter of 2024 were $25.8 million, an increase of approximately 13% from $22.9 million in the prior year period. Total revenues in the first quarter were $27.3 million, an increase from total revenues of $25.7 million in the prior year period. Within healthcare, claims-based services revenue in the first quarter of 2024 was $12.4 million, while revenue from eligibility-based services in the first quarter was $13.4 million.

“Our healthcare revenue enjoyed strong double-digit year over year growth to start the year, which we believe demonstrates the performance of our commercial client growth strategy," stated Simeon Kohl, CEO of Performant. "Building upon our 2023 implementations, we implemented 10 commercial programs in the first quarter estimated to contribute $5-6 million in revenue at annualized steady-state. We are also pleased with the cadence of how RAC Region 2 is scaling in support of growth in our government side of the business. In April, we were excited to announce we acquired AI technology from RecordsOne, our first acquisition since becoming a pure-play healthcare company in 2021. The RecordsOne technology uses AI and natural language processing to plug into our audit workflow to improve prioritization and speed of medical claim reviews. Our commitment to innovation and efficiency gains is solidified by this acquisition as we continue to pursue long-term growth. We continue to feel confident in our growth strategy anchored by our client centric culture and technology enabled approach." Kohl further remarked.

Revenues from our customer care / outsourced services in the first quarter were $1.5 million, down from $2.8 million in the prior year period.

Net loss for the first quarter was $4.0 million, or $(0.05) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $4.2 million, or $(0.06) per diluted share, in the prior year period. Adjusted net loss for the first quarter was $3.0 million, or $(0.04) per share on a diluted basis, compared to adjusted net loss of $3.6 million, or $(0.05) per diluted share, in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter was $(1.2) million as compared to $(1.7) million in the prior year period.

“The RecordsOne technology asset acquisition, plus strong financial and operational results in the first quarter, are encouraging for our longer term growth strategy,” said Rohit Ramchandani, Chief Financial Officer. “Our 2024 growth targets for both revenue and profitability are still on target. We are reiterating our expectation that 2024 healthcare revenues will be in the range of $117 million to $122 million, total Company revenues to be in the range of $124 million to $129 million, and adjusted EBITDA in the range of $4 million to $5 million. The acquisition of technology from RecordsOne fits into our larger project Turing initiative with the aim of furthering scale and efficiency. We believe we successfully structured this deal to fit within our capital means, between cash on hand and our current credit facility with Wells Fargo, without sacrificing our ability to continue organic growth opportunities. We remain confident in our overall strategic and growth goals." Ramchandani further commented.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this press release, to supplement our consolidated financial statements, the Company presents adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share. These measures are not in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) and accordingly reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss) to net income (loss) determined in accordance with US GAAP are included in the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Results” table at the end of this press release. We have included adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss) in this press release because they are key measures used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends and to prepare and approve our annual budget. Accordingly, we believe that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss) provide useful information to investors and analysts in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. Our use of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss) has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under US GAAP. In particular, many of the adjustments to our US GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of items, specifically interest, tax, and depreciation and amortization expenses, equity-based compensation expense and certain other non-operating expenses, that are recurring and will be reflected in our financial results for the foreseeable future. In addition, these measures may be calculated differently from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes. In regard to forward looking non-GAAP guidance, we are not able to reconcile the forward-looking non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA measure to the closest corresponding GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts because we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of certain significant items. These items include, but are not limited to, impacts associated with interest expense, and depreciation and amortization expenses.
