Change Healthcare Inc. (Nasdaq: CHNG) (the “Company” or “Change Healthcare”), a leading independent healthcare technology company, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended Dec. 31, 2020 of fiscal year 2021.
“Our third quarter results demonstrate the strength of the Change Healthcare platform, and our ability to execute well on our growth strategy and financial objectives while navigating the pandemic,” said Neil de Crescenzo, president and chief executive officer. “During the quarter we saw continued demand across our platform. By advancing connectivity and driving innovation we have established a strong foundation to accelerate the delivery of the innovations and efficiencies essential to a brighter future for health care.”
Fiscal 2021 Third Quarter Highlights:
Financial Summary
Total revenue of $785.1 million , including solutions revenue of $735.3 million
Net income of $2.2 million , resulting in net income of $0.01 per diluted share
Adjusted net income of $110.1 million , resulting in adjusted net income of $0.34 per diluted share
Adjusted EBITDA of $233.4 million
Recent Business Highlights
Announced agreement with Carnegie Mellon University’s Delphi Research Group for the launch of Delphi's enhanced COVIDcast real-time COVID-19 indicators. COVIDcast is taking a further step by adding de-identified COVID-19 claims from Change Healthcare to its unique combination of survey, testing, and mobility data.
Completed the divestiture of Capacity Management business. The sale supported our strategy to focus on and invest in core aspects of our business to fuel growth and advance innovation.
Launched Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) Analytics, an innovative national data resource to help health systems, insurers, and life sciences organizations explore how geodemographic factors affect patient outcomes.
Subsequent to quarter-end, announced proposed merger with OptumInsight, a diversified health services company and part of UnitedHealth Group.
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 and resulted in a new basis of accounting, and all of the business activities of the Joint Venture are now reported by the Company. Change Healthcare Inc. financial statements for periods prior to the acquisition were primarily limited to the equity method investment in the Joint Venture, and therefore did not reflect revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and other key measures. As a result, Change Healthcare does not consider comparison of the current operating results to the reported results of Change Healthcare Inc. for the same period in the prior year to be meaningful, and instead will compare our current quarter results to the prior quarter results of the Joint Venture, which have been recast to reflect the current segment structure, including the allocation of all corporate costs to the business units. This press release includes supplemental information for the recast results of the Joint Venture for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019. The recast results for all quarters in fiscal year 2019 and fiscal year 2020 are available in the appendix to the earnings presentation and will be included as an exhibit to Change Healthcare Inc.’s Form 10-Q.
Financial Results
Solutions revenue was $735.3 million for the current period, inclusive of the impact of the fair value adjustment to deferred revenue resulting from the McKesson exit, which reduced revenue recognized in the quarter by $24.2 million . Total revenue, which includes postage revenue, was $785.1 million . For the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the Joint Venture reported $752.5 million of solutions revenue and $808.2 million of total revenue. Solutions revenue for the current period reflects the $18.3 million net favorable impact of acquisitions and divestitures including the negative $2.2 million impact during the quarter from the divestiture of the Capacity Management business which closed on December 2, 2020. The quarter was also negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which was partially offset by new sales volumes across all three segments.
Net income was $2.2 million , resulting in net income of $0.01 per diluted share. For the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the Joint Venture reported net income of $31.2 million or $0.10 per diluted unit. Net income for the current period was positively impacted by new sales volumes, productivity improvements and cost initiatives, partially offset by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Adjusted net income was $110.1 million , resulting in adjusted net income of $0.34 per diluted share. For the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the Joint Venture reported adjusted net income of $106.3 million or $0.33 per diluted unit. Net income per diluted share and adjusted net income per diluted share for the current period is based on 325 million shares compared to 322 million units in the prior year period.
Adjusted EBITDA was $233.4 million for the current period. For the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the Joint Venture reported adjusted EBITDA of $232.6 million . The results in the current quarter reflect continued productivity and synergy realization which offset investments and COVID-19 revenue impacts.
Cash Flow and Balance Sheet Highlights
Net cash provided by operating activities was $487.2 million , free cash flow was $304.3 million , and adjusted free cash flow was $365.0 million , in each case, for the nine months ended December 31, 2020. For the nine months ended December 31, 2019, the Joint Venture reported net cash provided by operating activities, free cash flow, and adjusted free cash flow of $401.0 million , $213.8 million , and $324.9 million , respectively.
Net cash provided by operating activities, free cash flow, and adjusted free cash flow each is 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 decreased by $10.1 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2020, reducing free cash flow for the period by that amount, and increased by $1.8 million for the Joint Venture for the nine months ended December 31, 2019. The increase in cash flow from operations, free cash flow, and adjusted free cash flow in the current period primarily resulted from improved working capital driven by strong collections.
The Company ended the quarter with approximately $137.4 million of cash and cash equivalents, and approximately $4,817.8 million of total debt. During the current period, the Company repaid $215.0 million on its Term Loan Facility.
