Change Healthcare Inc. Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2022 Financial Results

Change Healthcare Inc. (Nasdaq: CHNG) (the “Company” or “Change Healthcare”), a leading healthcare technology company, today reported financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 ended June 30, 2021.

“The solid performance in the first quarter, combined with the momentum in our sales pipeline, establishes a strong foundation for growth as we move through fiscal 2022,” said Neil de Crescenzo, president and chief executive officer. “We will continue to make investments throughout the year to advance innovation and optimize our cost structure, enabling us to deliver better experiences and outcomes for our customers, partners and consumers.”

Fiscal 2022 First Quarter Highlights:

Financial Summary

  • Total revenue of $867.9 million, including solutions revenue of $816.6 million
  • Net loss of $3.6 million, resulting in net loss of $0.01 per diluted share
  • Adjusted net income of $133.0 million, resulting in adjusted net income of $0.41 per diluted share
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $282.7 million

Recent Business Highlights

  • Announced an expansion of the self-service resources the Company offers developers to use application programming interfaces (APIs) at scale to bring new healthcare innovations to market

Impact of McKesson Exit on Comparability of Results

On March 10, 2020, Change Healthcare Inc. acquired the interest in Change Healthcare LLC (“the Joint Venture”) previously held by McKesson. The transaction resulted in Change Healthcare Inc. acquiring control of the Joint Venture, which was accounted for as a business combination resulting in fair value adjustments to various assets and liabilities, including deferred revenue, goodwill, and intangible assets.

Financial Results for First Quarter of Fiscal 2022

  • Solutions revenue was $816.6 million, compared to $648.4 million for first quarter of fiscal 2021. Solutions revenue includes the impact of fair value adjustments to deferred revenue resulting from the McKesson exit, which reduced revenue recognized by $4.5 million and $55.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 and 2021, respectively. Total revenue, which includes postage revenue, was $867.9 million compared to $694.2 million in the same period of the prior year. Solutions revenue for the current period reflects the $6.5 million net favorable impact of acquisitions and divestitures, including the negative $15.3 million impact during the quarter from the divestitures of the Connected Analytics and Capacity Management businesses which closed in fiscal year 2021. Solutions revenue in the current period was positively impacted by volume recovery from COVID-19 related volume declines in the prior period and new sales.
  • Net loss was $3.6 million, resulting in net loss of $0.01 per diluted share, compared with net loss of $58.7 million and $0.18 per diluted share, respectively, for the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
  • Adjusted net income was $133.0 million, resulting in adjusted net income of $0.41 per diluted share, compared with adjusted net income of $81.2 million and $0.25 per diluted share, respectively, for the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Net loss per diluted share and adjusted net income per diluted share for the current period is based on 323 million shares compared to 320 million shares in the prior year period.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $282.7 million, compared with $196.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The results in the current quarter reflect optimization of our cost structure.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet Highlights

Net cash provided by operating activities was $110.1 million and free cash flow was $44.1 million, in each case, for the three months ended June 30, 2021. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, net cash provided by operating activities and free cash flow was $169.1 million and $102.3 million, respectively, which included the positive impact of deferring approximately $36.1 million of interest and payroll tax payments during the period.

Net cash provided by operating activities and free cash flow each are affected by pass-thru funds we receive from certain pharmaceutical industry participants in advance of our obligation to remit these funds to participating retail pharmacies. Such pass-thru funds on hand increased by $7.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021, increasing free cash flow for the period by that amount, and decreased by $13.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

The Company ended the quarter with approximately $109.1 million of cash and cash equivalents, and approximately $4,758.4 million of total debt. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company repaid $30.0 million on its Term Loan Facility.

Proposed Merger with OptumInsight

On January 5, 2021, OptumInsight, a diversified health services company and part of UnitedHealth Group, and Change Healthcare agreed to combine (the “Merger”). Under the terms of the merger agreement, UnitedHealth Group, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Change Healthcare common stock for $25.75 per share in cash. The Boards of Directors of both UnitedHealth Group and Change Healthcare have unanimously approved the terms of the Merger. At a special meeting held April 13, 2021, Change Healthcare stockholders voted to approve the Merger. Of the approximately 222 million shares voted, 99.9% voted in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement. The closing of the Merger is subject to applicable regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In the Company’s earnings releases, prepared remarks, conference calls, slide presentations and webcasts, there may be use or discussion of non-GAAP financial measures. We believe such measures provide supplemental information to investors with regards to our operating performance and assist investors’ ability to compare our financial results to those of other companies in the same industry. The GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to each non-GAAP financial measure used or discussed, and a reconciliation of the differences between the comparable GAAP financial measure and each non-GAAP financial measure are included in this press release after the consolidated financial statements. These non-GAAP financial measures are calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered only as supplemental to, and not as superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be defined and calculated differently by others in the same industry.
