February 15, 2019 7:02 AM

MOBILE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CPSI (NASDAQ: CPSI):

Highlights for Fourth Quarter 2018:

CPSI (NASDAQ: CPSI), a community healthcare solutions company, today announced results for the fourth quarter and twelve months ended December�31, 2018.

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share, payable on March 18, 2019, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 1, 2019.

Total revenues for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2018, were $72.3 million, compared with total revenues of $78.1 million for the prior-year fourth quarter. GAAP net income for the quarter ended December�31, 2018, was $7.6 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $21.5 million, or $1.57 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. The fourth quarter of 2017 included a $28.0 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to the Company’s post-acute care business. Cash provided by operations for the fourth quarter of 2018 was $9.1 million, compared with $5.3 million for the prior-year period.

“CPSI closed out 2018 with a solid performance in the fourth quarter,” said Boyd Douglas, president and chief executive officer of CPSI. “We are especially pleased with the greater than 40% increase in fourth quarter bookings for our services business, TruBridge. The healthy installation schedule for our acute care electronic health record (EHR) systems, decent add-on sales and stable net new bookings this quarter all contributed to a strong finish for 2018.”

Commenting on the Company’s financial performance for the quarter, Matt Chambless, chief financial officer of CPSI, stated, “The fourth quarter was one of milestones for CPSI, with nearly all profitability metrics at or near their highest points since bringing Healthland and AHT into our family of companies. Strength in cash flows allowed for aggressive de-leveraging, resulting in a final leverage ratio that was effectively at our target. Looking forward, we are committed to continuing to deliver value to our EHR clients, harvesting additional growth opportunities with TruBridge, and using the flexibility of our improved leverage profile to pursue more opportunistic uses of capital, all while continuing to ensure that we are making the best use of our resources.”

CPSI will hold a live webcast to discuss fourth quarter and year-end 2018 results today, Friday, February�15, 2019, at 9:30 a.m. Eastern time. A 30-day online replay will be available approximately one hour following the conclusion of the live webcast.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or “GAAP.” However, management believes that, in order to properly understand our short-term and long-term financial and operational trends, investors may wish to consider the impact of certain non-cash or non-recurring items, when used as a supplement to financial performance measures that are prepared in accordance with GAAP. These items result from facts and circumstances that vary in frequency and impact on continuing operations. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in order to evaluate the operating performance of the Company and compare it against past periods, make operating decisions, and serve as a basis for strategic planning. These non-GAAP financial measures provide management with additional means to understand and evaluate the operating results and trends in our ongoing business by eliminating certain non-cash expenses and other items that management believes might otherwise make comparisons of our ongoing business with prior periods more difficult, obscure trends in ongoing operations, or reduce management’s ability to make useful forecasts. In addition, management understands that some investors and financial analysts find these non-GAAP financial measures helpful in analyzing our financial and operational performance and comparing this performance to our peers and competitors.

As such, to supplement the GAAP information provided, we present in this press release the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP net income, and Non-GAAP earnings per share (“EPS”).

We calculate each of these non-GAAP financial measures as follows:

Certain of the items excluded or adjusted to arrive at these non-GAAP financial measures are described below:

Management considers these non-GAAP financial measures to be important indicators of our operational strength and performance of our business and a good measure of our historical operating trends, in particular the extent to which ongoing operations impact our overall financial performance. In addition, management may use Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP net income and/or Non-GAAP EPS to measure the achievement of performance objectives under the Company’s stock and cash incentive programs. Note, however, that these non-GAAP financial measures are performance measures only, and they do not provide any measure of cash flow or liquidity. Non-GAAP financial measures are not alternatives for measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures presented by other companies, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, there is no certainty that we will not incur expenses in the future that are similar to those excluded in the calculations of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release. Investors and potential investors are encouraged to review the “Unaudited Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” above.
