Exhibit 99.1
Performant Financial Corporation Announces Financial Results for Second Quarter 2022
Livermore, Calif., August 8, 2022 - Performant Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: PFMT), (the "Company"), a leading provider of technology-enabled audit, recovery, and related analytics services in the United States with a focus in the healthcare payment integrity services industry, today reported the following financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2022:

Second Quarter Financial Highlights

Total revenues of $25.7 million, compared to revenues of $32.8 million in the prior year period.
Healthcare revenues of $21.8 million, compared to $18.6 million in the prior year period, an increase of 17.0%
Net loss of approximately $(3.2) million, or $(0.04) per diluted share, compared to net loss of $(1.5) million, or $(0.03) per diluted share, in the prior year period.
Adjusted net loss was $(2.9) million, or $(0.04) per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of 0.5 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the prior year period.
Adjusted EBITDA of $(1.4) million, compared to $4.2 million in the prior year period.

Second Quarter 2022 Results
Total revenues in the second quarter were $25.7 million, a decrease from revenues of $32.8 million in the prior year period. Healthcare revenues in the second quarter of 2022 were $21.8 million, an increase of 17% from revenues of $18.6 million in the prior year period. Within Healthcare, claims-based services revenue in the second quarter of 2022 was $9.3 million, while revenues from eligibility-based services in the second quarter was $12.4 million.
“The second quarter of 2022, marked yet another quarter of strong year-over-year growth in our healthcare revenues supported by our robust sales pipeline and steady implementation conversion,” stated Simeon Kohl, President of Performant. “We are also pleased to announce that Melissa Christ has joined Performant as Chief People Officer. Melissa brings over 20 years of experience in people strategy and working with high-growth companies. People are at the core of everything we do, and we are excited to have such an experienced leader to help navigate this important period of growth.”
Recovery revenues in the second quarter were $7 thousand, a decrease of 99.9% from revenues of $11.1 million in the prior year period due to the cessation of non-healthcare recovery activity which largely occurred by the end of 2021. Revenues from our Customer Care / Outsourced Services in the second quarter were $3.9 million, up $0.8 million compared to the prior year period.
Net loss for the second quarter was $3.2 million, or $(0.04) per share on a diluted basis, compared to a net loss of $1.5 million, or $(0.03) per share on a diluted basis, in the prior year period. Adjusted net loss for the second quarter was $2.9 million, or $(0.04) per share on a diluted basis, compared to adjusted net income of $0.5 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was $(1.4) million as compared to $4.2 million in the prior year period.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of approximately $18.2 million.

“Given our continued achievements in the second quarter, and in combination with the KPI and opportunity growth ahead of us, we remain pleased with how we are tracking toward current year expectations and more importantly, our long term goals,” stated Rohit Ramchandani, Senior Vice President of Finance and Strategy at Performant. “Despite a tumultuous macroeconomic climate we remain well capitalized and positioned to continue executing against our investment strategies, which will promote continued long-term growth. As we look ahead to the second half of the year, we are pleased to reiterate our Healthcare revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance ranges for 2022 of $92-$96MM and $2-$4 million respectively.”



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.
Earnings Conference Call
The Company will hold a conference call to discuss its second quarter 2022 results today at 5:00 p.m. Eastern. A live webcast of the call may be accessed on the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at investors.performantcorp.com.

Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding the Company's outlook for revenues, net income (loss), and adjusted EBITDA in 2022 and beyond. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections that are subject to change and actual results may differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, that the Company faces a long period to implement a new contract which may result in the incurring of expenses before the receipt of revenues from new client relationships, that the high level of revenue concentration among the Company's largest customers and any termination of or deterioration in the Company’s relationship with any of its significant clients would result in a material decline in revenues, that many of the Company's customer contracts are subject to periodic renewal, are not exclusive, do not provide for committed business volumes and may be changed or terminated unilaterally and on short notice, that the U.S. federal government accounts for a significant portion of the Company's revenues, that downturns in domestic or global economic conditions and other macroeconomic factors could harm the Company’s business and results of operations, that the Company may not have sufficient cash flows from operations to fund ongoing operations and other liquidity needs, that the Company may not be able to manage its potential growth effectively, that the Company faces significant competition in all of its markets, the material adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition as well as on the business operations and financial performance of many of its customers, that limitations on the scope of the Company's audit activity under its claims audit contracts may reduce revenue opportunities, that the Company’s indebtedness could adversely affect its business and financial condition and could reduce the funds available for other purposes and the failure to comply with covenants contained in its credit agreement could result in an event of default that could adversely affect its results of operations, that future legislative and regulatory changes may have significant effects on the Company's business, that failure of the Company's or third parties' operating systems and technology infrastructure could disrupt the operation of the Company's business and the threat of breach of the Company's security measures or failure or unauthorized access to confidential data that the Company possesses. More information on potential factors that could affect the Company's financial condition and operating results is included from time to time in the "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" sections of the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and subsequently filed reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K. The forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this press release and the Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations.
