Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 (As compared with the three months ended March 31, 2023)

GAAP net revenue of $342.6 million increased 6% from $322.2 million in the prior-year period. Refer to "Supply Chain Services" and "Performance Services" sections below for further discussion on the factors that impacted each segment during the quarter.

GAAP net loss of $49.2 million decreased 201% from net income of $48.6 million in the prior-year period primarily as a result of the $140.1 million impairment charge to goodwill, intangibles and other long-lived assets related to the company's Contigo Health business in the current-year period, lower equity earnings and an increase in employee-related expenses driven by increased headcount, primarily to support growth in our supply chain co-management business, and higher forecasted performance-related compensation expense as compared to the prior-year period which was lower as fiscal 2023 performance was below targeted expectations. These decreases were partially offset by higher net revenue, a decrease in interest expense in the current-year period and a gain from the sale of one of the company's minority investments.

GAAP diluted EPS of $(0.36) decreased 192% from $0.39 in the prior-year period due to the aforementioned drivers affecting GAAP net income offset by a decrease in the diluted weighted average shares outstanding as a result of the $400 million accelerated share repurchase transaction ("ASR").

Adjusted EBITDA of $107.3 million decreased 5% from $112.7 million in the prior-year period. Refer to "Supply Chain Services" and "Performance Services" sections below for further discussion on the factors that impacted each segment during the quarter.

Adjusted net income of $61.2 million decreased 8% from $66.4 million in the prior-year period primarily as a result of the same factors that impacted adjusted EBITDA as well as an increase in our effective income tax rate as a result of the $140.1 million impairment of assets partially offset by a decrease in interest expense in the current-year period. Adjusted EPS of $0.55 was flat compared to $0.55 in the prior-year period primarily due to a decrease in the diluted weighted average shares outstanding as a result of the ASR partially offset by the aforementioned drivers affecting adjusted net income.

Segment Results (For the fiscal third quarter of 2024 as compared with the fiscal third quarter of 2023)

Supply Chain Services

Supply Chain Services segment net revenue of $227.7 million increased 5% from $216.7 million in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting higher net administrative fees revenue and software license, other services and support revenue.

Net administrative fees revenue of $156.8 million increased 6% from $148.4 million in the prior-year period driven by continued growth in member purchasing in both the acute and Continuum of Care group purchasing organization ("GPO") programs and one-time contractual payments received from certain GPO members due to early termination in breach of their contracts partially offset by an expected increase in the aggregate blended member fee share.

Products revenue of $56.6 million was relatively flat compared to $57.2 million in the prior-year period as further expansion and growth of the business was offset by lower pricing for certain products compared to the prior-year period.

Segment adjusted EBITDA of $114.0 million decreased 3% from $117.5 million in the prior-year period primarily due to an increase in expenses in support of the GPO program and supply chain co-management business and lower profit margin in the company's direct sourcing business driven by higher logistics costs compared to the prior-year period, partially offset by the aforementioned increase in net revenue.

Performance Services

Performance Services segment net revenue of $115.0 million increased 9% from $105.6 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to an increase in revenue from enterprise license agreements in the current-year period compared with the prior-year period partially offset by a decrease in the applied sciences business compared to the prior-year period.

Segment adjusted EBITDA of $27.0 million increased 8% from $25.0 million in the prior-year period mainly due to the aforementioned increase in net revenue, partially offset by an increase in expenses primarily related to higher performance-related compensation in the current-year period as well as investments to support continued growth in the company's adjacent markets businesses.

Result of Operations for the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2024 (As compared with the nine months ended March 31, 2023)

GAAP net revenue of $996.1 million was flat compared with the prior-year period primarily due to increases in Performance Services segment net revenue and net administrative fees revenue offset by a decrease in products revenue.

GAAP net income of $46.1 million decreased 70% from net income of $156.0 million in the prior-year period primarily as a result of the $140.1 million impairment charge to goodwill, intangibles and other long-lived assets related to the company's Contigo Health business in the current-year period, lower equity earnings, an increase in certain operating expenses, including costs associated with the sale of the company's non-healthcare GPO member contracts and higher performance-related compensation expense in the current-year period, partially offset by an increase in interest income and a decrease in income tax expense in the current-year period.

GAAP diluted EPS of $0.50 decreased 61% from $1.28 in the prior-year period primarily due to the aforementioned drivers affecting GAAP net income partially offset by a decrease in the diluted weighted average shares outstanding as a result of the ASR.

Adjusted EBITDA of $327.1 million decreased 7% from $352.7 million in the prior-year period primarily due to decreases in each segment's adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted net income of $192.3 million decreased 7% from $207.4 million in the prior-year period primarily as a result of the decrease in adjusted EBITDA as well as an increase in our effective income tax rate as a result of the $140.1 million impairment of assets partially offset by an increase in interest income in the current-year period. Adjusted EPS of $1.64 decreased 5% from $1.73 in the prior-year period primarily due to the aforementioned drivers affecting adjusted net income partially offset by a decrease in the diluted weighted average shares outstanding as a result of the ASR.

Supply Chain Services segment net revenue of $656.3 million decreased 2% from $671.9 million for the same period a year ago. Segment adjusted EBITDA of $343.5 million decreased 4% from $357.0 million for the same period a year ago.

Performance Services segment net revenue of $340.0 million increased 5% from $323.9 million for the same period a year ago. Segment adjusted EBITDA of $79.8 million decreased 9% from $87.3 million for the same period a year ago.

Cash Flows and Liquidity

Net cash provided by operating activities ("operating cash flow") for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 of $190.3 million decreased from $331.2 million in the prior-year period primarily due to $148.6 million in tax payments in the current-year period related to the sale of non-healthcare GPO operations and an increase in expenses to support continued growth in certain areas of the Supply Chain Services and Performance Services segments. These decreases were partially offset by lower fiscal 2023 performance-related compensation payments during the fiscal first quarter compared to the fiscal 2022 payments in the prior-year period and increased cash inflows from continued growth in the Performance Services business.

Net cash used in investing activities and net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, were $54.9 million and $163.3 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents were $61.9 million compared with $89.8 million as of June 30, 2023, and the company's five-year, $1.0 billion revolving credit facility had no outstanding balance.

Free cash flow for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 was $48.1 million compared with $199.5 million in the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily due to the same factors that impacted operating cash flow, including the aforementioned $148.6 million in tax payments, and an increase in purchases of property and equipment. Refer to "Premier's Use and Definition of Non-GAAP Measures" below and the supplemental financial information at the end of this release for information on the company's use of non-GAAP measures and a reconciliation of reported GAAP results to non-GAAP results.

During the first nine months of fiscal 2024, the company paid aggregate dividends of $73.1 million to holders of its Class A common stock.

Premier's Use and Definition of Non-GAAP Measures

Premier uses EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, segment adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, and free cash flow. These are non-GAAP financial measures that are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. We include these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate a comparison of the company's operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period and to provide measures that, when viewed in combination with its results prepared in accordance with GAAP, we believe allow for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the company's business than GAAP measures alone. Management believes EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and segment adjusted EBITDA assist the company's board of directors, management and investors in comparing the company's operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period by removing the impact of the company's asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) and items outside the control of management (taxes), as well as other non-cash (impairment of intangible assets and purchase accounting adjustments) and non-recurring items, from operating results. Adjusted EBITDA and segment adjusted EBITDA are supplemental financial measures used by the company and by external users of the company's financial statements.

Management considers adjusted EBITDA an indicator of the operational strength and performance of the company's business. Adjusted EBITDA allows management to assess performance without regard to financing methods and capital structure and without the impact of other matters that management does not consider indicative of the operating performance of the business. Segment adjusted EBITDA is the primary earnings measure used by management to evaluate the performance of the company's business segments.

Management believes free cash flow is an important measure because it represents the cash that the company generates after payment of tax distributions to limited partners, payments to certain former limited partners that elected to execute a Unit Exchange and Tax Receivable Agreement ("Unit Exchange Agreement") in connection with our August 2020 restructuring and purchases of property and equipment to maintain existing products and services and ongoing business operations, as well as development of new and upgraded products and services to support future growth. Free cash flow is important because it enables the company to seek enhancement of stockholder value through acquisitions, partnerships, joint ventures, investments in related or complimentary businesses and/or debt reduction.

Non-recurring items are items to be income or expenses and other items that have not been earned or incurred within the prior two years and are not expected to recur within the next two years. Such items include stock-based compensation, acquisition- and disposition-related expenses, strategic initiative- and financial restructuring-related expenses, remeasurement of TRA liabilities, loss on disposal of long-live assets, gain or loss on FFF put and call rights, income and expense that has been classified as discontinued operations and other expense.

Non-operating items include gains or losses on the disposal of assets and interest and investment income or expense.

EBITDA is defined as net income before income or loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, interest and investment income or expense, net, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization and amortization of purchased intangible assets.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before merger and acquisition-related expenses and non-recurring, non-cash or non-operating items.

Segment adjusted EBITDA is defined as the segment's net revenue less cost of revenue and operating expenses directly attributable to the segment excluding depreciation and amortization, amortization of purchased intangible assets, merger and acquisition-related expenses and non-recurring or non-cash items. Operating expenses directly attributable to the segment include expenses associated with sales and marketing, general and administrative, and product development activities specific to the operation of each segment. General and administrative corporate expenses that are not specific to a particular segment are not included in the calculation of Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Segment Adjusted EBITDA also excludes any income and expense that has been classified as discontinued operations.

Adjusted net income is defined as net income attributable to Premier (i) excluding income or loss from discontinued operations, net, (ii) excluding income tax expense, (iii) excluding the effect of non-recurring or non-cash items, including certain strategic initiative- and financial restructuring-related expenses, (iv) reflecting an adjustment for income tax expense on Non-GAAP net income before income taxes at our estimated annual effective income tax rate, adjusted for unusual or infrequent items and (v) excluding the equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates.

Adjusted earnings per share is Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted weighted average shares.

Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations less distributions and Tax Receivable Agreement payments to limited partners, early termination payments to certain former limited partners that elected to execute a Unit Exchange Agreement in connection with our August 2020 restructuring and purchases of property and equipment. Free Cash Flow does not represent discretionary cash available for spending as it excludes certain contractual obligations such as debt repayments.

To properly and prudently evaluate our business, readers are urged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures, as well as the other financial tables, included at the end of this release. Readers should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the company's business. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures used in this release are susceptible to varying calculations and may differ from, and may therefore not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The Company has revised the definitions for Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income from the definitions reported in the 2023 Annual Report. Adjusted EBITDA and segment Adjusted EBITDA definitions were revised to exclude the impact of equity earnings in unconsolidated affiliates. The Adjusted Net Income definition was revised (1) remove the exclusion of the impact of adjustment of redeemable limited partners' capital to redemption amount, (2) remove the impact of the exchange of all Class B common units for shares of Class A common stock for periods prior to our August 2020 Restructuring and the resulting elimination of non-controlling interest in Premier LP, and (3) add the exclusion of equity earnings in unconsolidated affiliates. For comparability purposes, prior year non-GAAP financial measures are presented based on the current definitions in the above section.

Further information on Premier's use of non-GAAP financial measures is available in the "Our Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of Premier's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, expected to be filed with the SEC shortly after this release, and which will also be made available on Premier's website at investors.premierinc.com.

Premier's Use of Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Measures

The company does not meaningfully reconcile guidance for non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share to net income attributable to stockholders or earnings per share attributable to stockholders because the company cannot provide guidance for the more significant reconciling items between net income attributable to stockholders and adjusted EBITDA and between earnings per share attributable to stockholders and non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share without unreasonable effort. This is due to the fact that future period non-GAAP guidance includes adjustments for items not indicative of our core operations, which may include, without limitation, items included in the supplemental financial information for reconciliation of reported GAAP results to non-GAAP results. Such items include, but are not limited to, strategic and acquisition related expenses for professional fees; mark to market adjustments for put options and contingent liabilities; gains and losses on stock-based performance shares; adjustments to its income tax provision (such as valuation allowance adjustments and settlements of income tax claims); items related to corporate and facility restructurings; and certain other items the company believes to be non-indicative of its ongoing operations. Such adjustments may be affected by changes in ongoing assumptions, judgements, as well as nonrecurring, unusual or unanticipated charges, expenses or gains/losses or other items that may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations. The exact amount of these adjustments is not currently determinable but may be significant.
