Performant Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: PFMT), (the "Company"), primarily operating as Performant Healthcare Solutions, a leading provider of technology-enabled audit, recovery, and related analytics services in the United States with a focus in the healthcare payment integrity industry, today reported the following financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2023:
Third Quarter Financial Highlights
Third Quarter 2023 Results
Healthcare revenues in the third quarter of 2023 were $28.5 million, an increase of approximately 21% from $23.5 million in the prior year period. Total revenues in the third quarter were $30.0 million, an increase from total revenues of $27.2 million in the prior year period. Within healthcare, claims-based services revenue in the third quarter of 2023 was $10.3 million, while revenue from eligibility-based services in the third quarter was $18.2 million.
“Our healthcare revenue enjoyed strong double-digit growth in the quarter led by commercial client growth," stated Simeon Kohl, CEO of Performant. "Continuing our first half trend, we implemented 12 additional commercial programs in Q3. This brings our 2023 total to 34 implementations. We anticipate these 34 programs will deliver $16 million in annualized revenues at steady state. On the government side of the business, we were excited to announce the New York State Medicaid RAC win in early October. We continue to feel confident in our growth strategy as we have implemented commercial programs at a more disciplined pace and solidified our government footprint with multiple headline wins over the past few years." Kohl further remarked.
Revenues from our customer care / outsourced services in the third quarter were $1.5 million, down from $3.6 million in the prior year period.
Net loss for the third quarter was $0.6 million, or $(0.01) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1.5 million, or $(0.02) per diluted share, in the prior year period. Adjusted net income for the third quarter was $0.4 million, or $0.01 per share on a diluted basis, compared to adjusted net loss of $1.7 million, or $(0.02) per diluted share, in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was $1.8 million as compared to $(0.3) million in the prior year period.
“We remain excited about our growth prospects as we have continued to build upon our record year of commercial implementations in the third quarter alongside further traction with major government wins," stated Rohit Ramchandani, CFO of Performant. "With regard to the near term, we maintain visibility into our annual healthcare market guidance of $105 million to $110 million in revenues. We also maintain annual guidance for the customer care market revenues of $6.75 million to $8 million, thus bringing our total Company revenue guidance to $111.75 million to $118 million. We are seeing gains from our focus on quicker scaling and efficiencies within our business and are excited about our opportunity to expand EBITDA margins as we execute. We are also excited about our new credit agreement which we believe provides us increased flexibility to further grow our business."
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.
