BOWIE, Md. , Oct. 30, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inovalon INOV, a leading provider of cloud-based platforms empowering data-driven healthcare, today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2019, updated guidance for the remainder of 2019, and guidance for the full year 2020.

"As we continue to expand the reach of our connectivity, the depth of our datasets, and the sophistication of our analytics, we are successfully bringing an expanding portfolio of highly differentiated capabilities to the marketplace. In turn, this is translating into both a deepening of existing relationships as well as a continued growth in new logos. These factors, combined with ongoing maturation and strengthening of our teams and processes, have translated into both a strong performance here in 2019 and a positive outlook for 2020."

Key Highlights
- Strong Organic Growth. Strength across the business resulted in strong performance including strong third quarter 2019 organic revenue growth of 14% year-over-year, and 6% sequentially. Each of our payer, provider, pharmacy and life sciences business units delivered strong double-digit organic growth reflecting the breadth of our offerings and ongoing adoption of our platforms and solutions across the business.
- Strong Profitability and Cash Flow Performance. Driven by the Company's continuing shift to higher value, data-driven SaaS offerings combined with our focus on process automation, connectivity, and improved operating efficiencies, third quarter 2019 TTM Adjusted EBITDA grew 38% to $191.9 million and third quarter 2019 TTM Adjusted EBITDA margins increased 430 basis points compared with the third quarter 2018 TTM period. The Company continued to deliver strong cash flow generation resulting in third quarter 2019 TTM free cash flow growth of 1,304% compared to the third quarter 2018 TTM period.
- Initiation of Voluntary Acceleration of Debt Pay-Down. In the setting of continued strong cash flows from operations in excess of the operating needs of the business, on October 4, 2019, the Company voluntarily initiated an accelerated pay-down of its outstanding debt under the 2018 Term Facility with a $50 million cash payment. The payment was made from excess cash flow from operations, which exceeded the Company's working capital needs, and was in addition to the Company's existing repayment obligation of $2.5 million per quarter. As of October 30, 2019, the Company's 2018 Revolving Facility remained undrawn.
- 2020 Outlook. Demand for platform capabilities previously announced by the Company continues to be strong. Most notable amongst them are the Company's configurations of the Inovalon ONE® Platform that provide cloud-based pharmacy platform offerings, clinical outcomes measurement and improvement platform offerings, risk score accuracy improvement platform offerings, and business intelligence data analytics and reporting platform offerings - all of which the Company now provides in pure SaaS formats. New offerings in 2019 are also contributing to growth and showing strong incremental promise. The Company's launch of Elastic Container Technology (or ECT™) is now readily being selected by clients desiring to burst or accelerate analytical runs. New platform offerings supporting Population Health initiatives, automated EHR data extractions (by Inovalon's CDEaaS™), and natural language processing of non-structured clinical data (by Inovalon's NLPaaS™) also have seen meaningful sales. New cloud-based interfaces supporting larger team utilizations of NLP, enterprise-scale cloud-based data lakes, expanding applications of AI, the arrival of real-time patient-specific data-supplementation toolsets, and the growing availability of Inovalon's capabilities through transactional APIs, are all seeing strong interest from the Company's expanding client-base. The aforementioned capabilities - all provided in pure SaaS formats - in combination with the increasing sophistication of the Company's sales and execution teams, strong continued client retention rates, and strong positive foundational patient-count dynamics across healthcare, bode well for 2020. Taken together, Inovalon is excited about its future and is pleased to provide guidance for continued strong organic revenue growth and further expansion of profitability in 2020.
Other Financial Data and Key Metrics
The following constitute other financial data and key metrics that are presented quarterly.
- Growth of Datasets: At September 30, 2019, the MORE2 Registry® dataset contained more than 287 million unique patient counts and 48 billion medical event counts, increases of 10% and 20%, respectively, compared with September 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 September 30, 2019, Inovalon's ongoing investment supporting innovations in advanced, cloud-based platforms empowering data-driven healthcare was $18.8 million, or 11% of revenue, an increase of $1.8 million, or 11%, compared to the prior year period.
- 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 58.3 billion as of September 30, 2019, an increase of 24% as compared with September 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.

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.
