Organization

Premier, Inc. (“Premier” or the “Company”) is a ~~publicly-held,~~publicly held, for-profit Delaware corporation located in the United States. The Company is a holding company with no material business operations of its own. The Company’s primary asset is its equity interest in its ~~wholly-owned~~wholly owned subsidiary Premier Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Premier GP”). Premier GP is the sole general partner of Premier Healthcare Alliance, L.P. (“Premier LP”), a California limited partnership. The Company conducts substantially all of its business operations through Premier LP and its other consolidated subsidiaries.

The Performance Services segment also includeshardwire sustainable change, Contigo Health®, the Company’s direct to employer ~~initiative~~business and ~~insurance management services.~~

~~Company Structure and Restructuring~~

The Company, through Premier GP, the sole general partner of Premier LP, and Premier Services II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the sole limited partner of Premier LP, held 100% interest in Premier LP at September 30, 2020. At June 30, 2020, the Company held 59% sole general partner interest in Premier LP. In addition to their equity ownership interest in the Company, our member owners held a 0% and 41% limited partner interest in Premier LP at September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, respectively. On July 31, 2020, after the resignation of 3 directors affiliated withRemitraTM, the Company’s ~~GPO members, the Board of Directors consisted of 15 (15) directors, comprised of 8 (8) independent directors, 6 (6) member-directors~~electronic invoicing and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, thus having a majority of independent directors on the Board of Directors. Since the member-directors no longer comprised a majority of the Board of Directors, as of July 31, 2020, the limited partner’s redemption feature was under the control of the Company (not the holders of Class B common units). As a result, $1.8 billion representing the fair value of redeemable limited partners’ capital at July 31, 2020 was reclassified from temporary equity in the mezzanine section of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to additional paid in capital as a component of permanent equity.

On August 11, 2020, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of August 11, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Premier LP and BridgeCo, LLC (“BridgeCo”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Premier Services, LLC formed for the sole purpose of merging with and into Premier LP. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, effective August 11, 2020, (i) BridgeCo merged with and into Premier LP, with Premier LP being the surviving entity (the “Merger”), and (ii) each of the issued and outstanding Class B common units was canceled and converted automatically into a right to receive 1 share of the Company’s Class A common stock. In conjunction with the Merger, all of the issued and outstanding shares of Class B common stock of the Company beneficially held by the former limited partners of Premier LP (individually a “LP” and collectively, the “LPs”) were canceled in accordance with the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation. No statutory dissenters’ rights were exercised in connection with the Merger. The exchange agreement (“Exchange Agreement”), which allowed the Company to redeem Class B common units for cash or Class A common stock at its discretion, was terminated in connection with the restructuring activity discussed above.

Furthermore, on August 10, 2020, the Company exercised its right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”). See Note 9 - Debt and Notes Payable and Note 14 - Income Taxes for further information.

~~Basis of Presentation and Consolidation~~

~~Basis of Presentation~~

At September 30, 2020, the Company was wholly-owned by public investors, which include member owners that received shares of Class A Stock in connection with the aforementioned restructuring as well previous exchanges of Class B common units and associated Class B common stock.

At June 30, 2020, the member owners’ interest in Premier LP is reflected as redeemable limited partners’ capital in the Company’s accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the limited partners’ proportionate share of income in Premier LP is reflected within net income attributable to non-controlling interest in Premier LP and within comprehensive income attributable to non-controlling interest in Premier LP in the Company’s accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

At June 30, 2020, public investors, which include member owners that have received shares of Class A common stock in connection with previous exchanges of their Class B common units and associated Class B common shares, owned 59% of the Company’s outstanding common stock through their ownership of Class A common stock. The member owners owned 41% of the Company’s combined Class A and Class B common stock through their ownership of Class B common stock.payables business.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of all majority-owned subsidiaries over which the Company exercised control and when applicable, entities for which the Company had a controlling financial interest or was the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations and financial condition for the interim periods shown, ~~including~~consisting of normal recurring ~~adjustments.~~adjustments unless otherwise disclosed. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes contained in the ~~2020~~2021 Annual Report.

Prior Periods’ Financial Statement Revision

As disclosed in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report, during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021, we identified and corrected an error to “Income tax (benefit) expense” resulting in additional income tax expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. As a result, the Company has revised the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Supplementary Cash Flows Information

~~Variable Interest Entities~~

~~At September 30,~~ 2020 as a result of the aforementioned restructuring, Premier LP no longer meets the definition of a variable interest entity (“VIE”), as defined in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810. The results of operations of Premier LP are included in the consolidated financial statements.

At June 30, 2020, Premier LP was a VIE as the limited partners did not have the ability to exercise a substantive removal right with respect to the general partner. The Company, through Premier GP, had the exclusive power and authority to manage the business and affairs of Premier LP, to make all decisions with respect to driving the economic performance of Premier LP, and had both an obligation to absorb losses and a right to receive benefits. As such, the Company was the primary beneficiary of the VIE and consolidated the operations of Premier LP under the Variable Interest Model.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Significant estimates are evaluated on an ongoing basis, including estimates for net administrative fees revenue, other services and support revenue, contract assets, deferred revenue, contract costs, allowances for ~~doubtful accounts,~~credit losses, useful lives of property and equipment, stock-based compensation, deferred tax balances including valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, uncertain tax positions, values of investments not publicly traded, projected future cash flows used in the evaluation of asset impairments, values of put and call rights, values of earn-out liabilities and the allocation of purchase prices. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in the ~~2020~~2021 Annual ~~Report, except as described below.~~Report.

~~Accounts Receivable~~

Financial instruments, other than marketable securities, that subject the Company to potential concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of the Company's receivables. Receivables consist primarily of amounts due from hospital and healthcare system members for services and products. The Company maintains an allowance for expected credit losses. This allowance is an estimate and is regularly evaluated by the Company for adequacy by taking into consideration factors such as past experience, credit quality of the member base and age of the receivable balances, both individually and in the aggregate. As receivables are generally due within one year, changes to economic conditions are not expected to have a significant impact on our estimate of expected credit losses. However, we will monitor economic conditions on a quarterly basis to determine if any adjustments are deemed necessary. Provisions for the allowance for expected credit losses attributable to bad debt are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Accounts deemed uncollectible are written off, net of actual recoveries. If circumstances related to specific customers change, the Company's estimate of the recoverability of receivables could be further adjusted.

~~Contract Assets~~

Supply Chain Services contract assets represents estimated customer purchases on supplier contracts for which administrative fees have been earned, but not collected. Performance Services contract assets represents revenue earned for services provided but

which the company is not contractually able to bill as of the end of the respective reporting period. Historically, we have not recognized a provision for contract assets. Under ASC Topic 326, we include Performance Services’ contract assets in our reserving process and assess the risk of loss similar to our methodology of the Company’s receivables, since the contract assets are reclassified to receivables when we become entitled to payment. Accordingly, a reserve is applied upon recognition of the contract asset.

~~Recently Adopted Accounting Standards~~

~~In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,~~ ~~Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments~~, (“ASU 2016-13”), which modifies the measurement of expected credit losses on certain financial instruments and the timing of when such losses are recorded. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective July 1, 2020 on a modified retrospective basis which resulted in an adjustment to retained earnings. The implementation of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

~~In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13,~~ ~~Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement~~, (“ASU 2018-13”), which improves the effectiveness of fair value measurement disclosures by eliminating, adding and modifying certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements as part of its disclosure framework project. Entities will no longer be required to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, but public companies will be required to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 effective July 1, 2020 and has updated the financial statements accordingly to reflect the updates in the disclosure requirements (see Note 6 - Fair Value Measurements).

~~In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15,~~ ~~Intangibles- Goodwill and Other-Internal Use Software (Topic 350): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract~~,(“ASU 2018-15”), which requires customers in a cloud computing arrangement (i.e., hosting arrangement) that is a service contract to follow the internal use software guidance in ASC 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to capitalize or expense. The Company adopted ASU 2018-15 effective July 1, 2020 on a prospective basis. The implementation of ASU 2018-15 did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

~~Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted~~

~~In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04,~~ ~~Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting~~, ("ASU 2020-04"), which provides optional expedients for contract modification that replace a reference rate affected by reference rate reform and contemporaneous modifications of other contract terms related to the replacement of the reference rate. Additionally, ASU 2020-04 allows companies to make a one-time election to sell, transfer, or both sell and transfer debt securities classified as held to maturity at any time between March 12, 2020 and December 21, 2022. The amendments are effective during the period of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

(3) BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

Acquisition of ~~Health Design Plus, LLC~~Invoice Delivery Services, LP Assets

On ~~May 4, 2020,~~March 1, 2021, the Company, through ~~its consolidated subsidiary~~ Premier ~~Healthcare Solutions, Inc.~~IDS, LLC (“~~PHSI”~~Premier IDS”), acquired ~~97%~~substantially all the assets and assumed certain liabilities of ~~the equity of Health Design Plus, LLC~~Invoice Delivery Services, LP (“~~HDP”~~IDS”) for an adjusted purchase price of ~~$24.0~~$80.7 million,~~, giving effect~~ subject to certain ~~purchase price~~ adjustments, ~~provided for in the purchase agreement. The transaction~~of which $80.0 million was ~~funded~~paid at closing with borrowings under the Company’s Credit Facility (as defined ~~below)~~in Note 8 - Debt and Notes Payable).

The Company has accounted for the IDS acquisition as a business combination whereby the purchase price was allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values. The total fair value assigned to intangible assets acquired was $22.4 million, consisting primarily of developed technology.

The IDS acquisition resulted in the recognition of $57.7 million of goodwill based on the purchase price paid in the acquisition compared to the fair value of the tangible assets acquired. The IDS acquisition was considered an asset acquisition for income

tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company expects tax goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes. The initial purchase price allocation for the IDS acquisition is preliminary and subject to changes in the ~~fair value of working capital.~~

~~Acquisition of Acurity and Nexera Assets~~

~~On February 28, 2020, the Company acquired substantially all~~valuation of the assets acquired and ~~certain~~ liabilities ~~of Acurity, Inc. and Nexera, Inc. (the “Acurity and Nexera asset acquisition”). The Company agreed to pay an aggregate amount of $291.5 million, of which $166.1 million~~assumed. IDS was ~~paid at closing with borrowings~~integrated within Premier under the ~~Credit Facility. An additional $120.0 million will be paid in 4 equal annual installments of $30.0 million on or about June 30, 2021, 2022, 2023~~brand name RemitraTM and ~~2024. An additional $4.7 million was paid to GNYHA during the three months ended September 30, 2020.~~

In addition, the asset purchase agreement provides an earn-out opportunity for Acurity, Inc. of up to $30.0 million based upon the Company’s achievement of a range of member renewals on terms to be agreed to by the Company and GNYHA based on prevailing market conditions in December 2023. As of September 30, 2020, the fair value of the earn-out liability was $22.7 million (see Note 6 - Fair Value Measurements).

Prior to entering into the Purchase Agreement, Acurity, Inc. agreed to provide one-time rebates of $93.8 million to certain of its then members based on their pre-closing purchasing volume. The Company concluded that these one-time rebates should be excluded from the purchase price and capitalized as prepaid contract administrative fee share at closing. As a result, the total fair value of consideration paidreported as part of the ~~acquisition totaled $202.6 million.~~

~~The purchase price allocation was finalized during the three months ended September 30, 2020.~~

~~Acquisition of Medpricer~~

On October 28, 2019, the Company, through its consolidated subsidiary Premier Supply Chain Improvement, Inc (“PSCI”), acquired all of the outstanding capital stock in Medpricer.com, Inc. (“Medpricer”) for an adjusted purchase price of $38.5 million. The transaction was funded with borrowings under the Credit Facility.

The acquisition provides the sellers an earn-out opportunity of up to $5.0 million based on Medpricer’s achievement of a revenue target for the calendar year ended December 31, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, the fair value of the earn-out liability was $0.3 million.

~~The purchase price allocation was finalized during the three months ended September 30, 2020.~~

~~(4) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND EXIT ACTIVITIES~~Performance Services segment.

~~In connection with the sale~~Pro forma results of certain assets and wind down and exit from the specialty pharmacy business, the Company met the criteria for classifying certain assets and liabilities of its specialty pharmacy business as a discontinued operation as of June 30, 2019. Prior to its classification as a discontinued operation, the specialty pharmacy business was included as part of the Supply Chain Services segment.

~~As of September 30, 2020, the Company had completed the wind down and exit from the specialty pharmacy business and had no net income or loss from discontinued~~ operations for the ~~three months ended September 30, 2020.~~

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

FFF put and call rights

In connection with the Company’s equity investment in FFF, the ~~Company entered into a~~FFF shareholders’ agreement ~~that provides, among other things, that~~was amended which resulted in the majority shareholder of FFF holds a put right that requires the Company to purchase the majority shareholder’s interest in FFF, on an all or nothing basis, on or after April 15, 2023. Any required purchase by the Company upon exercisetermination of the put right by FFF’s majority shareholder must be made at a per share price equal to FFF’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) over the twelve calendar months prior to the purchase date multiplied by a market adjusted multiple, adjusted for any outstanding debt and cash and cash equivalents (“Equity Value per Share”). FFF Put Right on July 29, 2021.

In ~~addition, in~~ the event of a Key Man Event (generally defined in the FFF shareholders’ agreement as the resignation, termination for cause, death or disability of the majority shareholder), the Company has a call right that requires the majority shareholder to sell its remaining interest in FFF to the Company, and is exercisable at any time within the later of 180 calendar days after (i) the date of a Key Man Event or (ii) January 30, ~~2021.~~2021 (the “Call Right”, together with the FFF Put Right, the “Put and Call Rights”). As of September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the ~~call right~~Call Right had 0zero value. In the event that ~~either of these rights are~~the Call Right is exercised, the purchase price for the additional interest in FFF will be at a per share price equal to the per share price equal to FFF’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“FFF EBITDA”) over the twelve calendar months prior to the purchase date multiplied by a market adjusted multiple, adjusted for any outstanding debt and cash and cash equivalents (“Equity Value per ~~Share.~~Share”).

~~The~~At September 30, 2021, the fair value of the Call Right was zero. At June 30, 2021, the fair values of the ~~FFF put~~Put and ~~call rights~~Call Rights were determined using a Monte Carlo simulation in a risk-neutral framework based on the Equity Value per Share calculation using unobservable inputs, which included the estimated ~~FFF put~~Put and ~~call rights’~~Call Rights expiration dates, the forecast of FFF’s EBITDA and enterprise value over the option period, forecasted movements in the overall market and the likelihood of a Key Man Event. FFF’s enterprise value over the option period was valued utilizing expected annual FFF EBITDA and ~~Revenue~~revenue growth rates, among other assumptions. The resulting FFF enterprise value was an assumption utilized in the valuation of the ~~put~~Put and call rights. Significant increases to weighted average cost of capital, business enterprise value, correlation and credit spread could significantly decrease the liability while a significant increase to asset volatility, EBITDA growth rate and revenue growth rate could significantly increase the liability.Call Rights.

The Company utilized the following assumptions to estimate the fair value of ~~FFF~~the Put and Call ~~Rights:~~Rights at June 30, 2021:

September 30, 2020 June 30, 2020
Annual EBITDA Growth Rate 2.5-26.5%

Annual revenue growth rate	2.5-6.3%
Correlation	80.0	%
Weighted average cost of capital	14.0	%
Asset volatility	30.0	%

The significant assumptions using the Monte Carlo simulation approach for valuation of the Put and Call Rights are:

~~(i)~~

(i)Annual EBITDA Growth Rate: The forecasted EBITDA growth range over six years;

(ii)Annual Revenue Growth Rate: The forecasted Revenue growth range over six years;

(iii)Correlation: The estimated correlation between future Business Enterprise Value and EBITDA of FFF;

(iv)Weighted Average Cost of Capital: The expected rate paid to security holders to finance debt and equity;

(v)~~The forecasted EBITDA growth range over 7 years;~~


~~(ii)~~	~~Annual Revenue Growth Rate:~~ ~~The forecasted Revenue growth range over 7 years;~~


~~(iii)~~	~~Correlation:~~ ~~The estimated correlation between future Business Enterprise Value and EBITDA of FFF;~~


~~(iv)~~	~~Weighted Average Cost of Capital:~~ ~~The expected rate paid to security holders to finance debt and equity;~~


~~(v)~~	Asset volatility: Based on the asset volatility of guideline public companies in the healthcare industry; and (vi)Credit Spread: Based on term-matched BBB yield curve. At September 30, 2021, the fair value of the Call Right was zero. At June 30, 2021, the ~~asset volatility of guideline public companies in the healthcare industry; and~~

~~The~~ Company recorded the ~~FFF put~~Put and ~~call rights~~Call Rights within long-term other liabilities and long-term other assets, respectively, within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance ~~Sheets~~.Sheets. Net changes in the fair values of the Put and Call Rights, including the gain recorded as a result of the termination of the FFF ~~put and call rights~~Put Right, were recorded within other ~~expense~~(expense) income, net in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

Earn-out liabilities

~~Earn-out liabilities were~~An earn-out liability was established in connection with the acquisition of substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of Acurity, Inc. and Nexera, Inc. (the “Acurity and Nexera asset ~~acquisition as well as the Stanson Health, Inc. (“Stanson”~~acquisition”) ~~and Medpricer acquisitions.~~in February 2020. The earn-out ~~liabilities associated with the Acurity and Nexera asset acquisition and the Medpricer acquisition were~~liability was classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. ~~The earn-out associated with the Stanson acquisition~~

~~is no longer measured at fair value as of September 30, 2020 given Management’s anticipation of Stanson achieving all of the requirements in order to obtain the full pay out of the earn-out.~~

The earn-out liability arising from expected earn-out payments related to the Acurity and Nexera asset acquisition ~~were~~was measured on the acquisition date using a probability-weighted expected payment model and are remeasured periodically due to changes in management’s estimates of the number of transferred member renewals and market conditions. In determining the fair value of the contingent liabilities, management reviews the current results of the acquired business, along with projected results for the remaining earn-out period, to calculate the expected earn-out payment to be made based on the contractual terms set out in the ~~respective~~ acquisition agreement. The Acurity and Nexera earn-out ~~liabilities~~liability utilized a credit spread of ~~1.0%~~0.8% and 0.9% at September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and June 30, ~~2020.~~2021, respectively. As of September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the undiscounted range of outcomes is between $0 and $30.0 million. A significant decrease in the probability could result in a significant decrease in the value of the earn-out liability. The fair value of the Acurity and Nexera earn-out liability at September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and June 30, ~~2020 is $22.7 million.~~2021 was $24.4 million and $24.2 million, respectively.

Financial Instruments For Which Fair Value Only is Disclosed

The fair values of non-interest bearing notes payable, classified as Level 2, were less than their carrying value by ~~$0.2~~$0.1 million at both September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and June 30, ~~2020,~~2021 based on assumed market interest rates of 1.6% for both periods.

The fair values of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and the Credit Facility (as defined in Note 98 - Debt and Notes Payable) approximated carrying value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

~~(7)~~(6) CONTRACT BALANCES

Deferred Revenue

Revenue recognized during the three months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 that was included in the opening balance of deferred revenue at June 30, ~~2020~~2021 was ~~$9.1~~$7.3 million, which is a result of satisfying performance obligations.

Performance Obligations

A performance obligation is a promise to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. Contracts may have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises and, therefore, not distinct, while other contracts may have multiple performance obligations, most commonly due to the contract covering multiple phases or deliverable arrangements (licensing fees, implementation fees, maintenance and support fees, professional fees for consulting services), including certain performance guarantees.

~~Reduction~~Net revenue of $1.4 million was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2021 from performance obligations that were satisfied or partially satisfied in prior periods. The net revenue recognized was driven by a $1.8 million increase in net administrative fees revenue related to under-forecasted cash receipts received in the current period partially offset by a reduction of $0.4 million associated with revised forecasts from underlying contracts that include variable consideration components as well as additional fluctuations due to input method contracts which occur in the normal course of business.

A decrease to net revenue of $2.5 million was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2020 from performance obligations that were satisfied or partially satisfied in prior ~~periods was $2.5 million.~~periods. The ~~reduction~~decrease in net revenue recognized was driven by a $2.7 million decrease in net administrative fees revenue related to over-forecasted cash receipts received in the current period partially offset by $0.2 million associated with revised forecasts from underlying contracts that include variable consideration components as well as additional fluctuations due to input method contracts which occur in the normal course of ~~business.~~

Net revenue recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2019 from performance obligations that were satisfied or partially satisfied in prior periods was $1.2 million. The net revenue recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2019 was driven primarily by $3.8 million of net administrative fees revenue related to under-forecasted cash receipts received in the current period as well as a reduction of $2.6 million associated with revised forecasts from underlying contracts that include variable consideration components as well as additional fluctuations due to input method contracts which occur in the normal course of business.business

Remaining performance obligations represent the portion of the transaction price that has not yet been satisfied or achieved. As of September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was ~~$547.3~~$588.8 million. The Company expects to recognize approximately ~~46%~~47% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months and an additional 27% over the following 12 months, with the remainder recognized thereafter.

Market and Industry Trends and Outlook

We expect that certain trends and economic or ~~industry-wide~~industrywide factors will continue to affect our business, in both in the ~~short-term~~short- and long-term. We have based our expectations described below on assumptions made by us and on information currently available to us. To the extent our underlying assumptions about, or interpretation of, available information prove to be incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from our expected results. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in the ~~2020~~2021 Annual Report.

Trends in the U.S. healthcare market affect our revenues and costs in the Supply Chain Services and Performance Services segments. The trends we see affecting our current healthcare business include the impact of the implementation of current or future healthcare legislation, particularly the ~~uncertainty regarding the status of~~potential for the Affordable Care Act ~~its repeal, replacement,~~(“ACA”) to be materially altered by Congress, through regulatory action by government agencies, or ~~other modification,~~in the ~~enactment~~event of ~~new regulatory~~a change of party control in Congress. Actions related to the ACA could be disruptive for Premier and our customers, impacting revenue, reporting requirements, ~~expansion and contraction of insurance coverage and associated costs that may impact subscriber elections, intense cost pressure,~~ payment ~~reform, provider consolidation,~~reforms, shift in care to the alternate site market and increased data availability and transparency. To meet the demands of this environment, there will be increased focus on scale and cost containment and healthcare providers will need to measure and report on and bear financial risk for outcomes. Over the long-term, we believe these trends will result in increased demand for our Supply Chain Services and Performance Services solutions in the areas of cost management, quality and safety, and ~~value based~~value-based care, however, there are

uncertainties and risks that may affect the actual impact of these anticipated trends, expected demand for our services or related assumptions on our business. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for more information.

COVID-19 Pandemic, Variants Thereof, Recurrences or Similar Pandemics

In addition to the trends in the U.S. healthcare market discussed above, we face known and unknown uncertainties arising from the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and the resulting global pandemic and financial and operational uncertainty, including its impact on the overall economy, our sales, operations and supply chains, our members and other customers, workforce and suppliers, and countries. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, variants thereof, and potential future pandemic outbreaks, we face significant risks including, but not limited to:

•Changes in the demand for our products and services. We ~~have~~ experienced and may continue to experience demand uncertainty from both ~~significant~~material increases and decreases in demand as a result of ~~COVID-19.~~the COVID-19 pandemic. There ~~has been~~was a ~~significant~~material increase in demand for personal protective equipment (“PPE”), drugs and other supplies directly related to treating and preventing the spread of ~~COVID-19.~~COVID-19 during fiscal 2020 and 2021. However, either voluntarily or due to government orders or advisories, patients, hospitals and other medical facilities ~~have~~ deferred some elective procedures and routine medical visits during the ~~crisis, which~~crisis. This created a ~~significant~~material decline in the demand for supplies and services not related to COVID-19 ~~in the first quarter of fiscal~~during 2020 and 2021 and such lower demand ~~is expected to~~may continue ~~through some~~into fiscal 2022 and beyond if COVID-19 vaccine programs are not as successful as anticipated, or ~~all of fiscal 2021.~~if COVID-19 variants become widespread. In addition, as a result of our ~~members'~~members’ focus on managing the effects of COVID-19 on patients and ~~its impacts,~~their businesses, we ~~may experience uncertain~~have experienced a decrease in demand for our consulting and other performance service engagements. Furthermore, during the COVID-19 pandemic, many of our ~~members'~~members’ non-acute or non-healthcare facilities, such as education and hospitality businesses, closed, operated on a limited or reduced basis and have delayed re-opening, and, as a result, we may see a material reduction in product sales to those facilities. The extent to which these impacts on demand ~~will~~may continue, and the effect ~~that~~ they ~~will~~may have on our business and operating results, will depend upon future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted.

•Limited access to our ~~members'~~members’ facilities that impacts our ability to fulfill our contractual requirements. Our member hospitals and non-acute care sites have experienced reduced or limited access for non-patients, including our field teams, consultants and other professionals, and travel restrictions have impacted our ~~employees'~~employees’ ability to travel to our ~~members' facilities.~~members’ facilities and our performance under our existing contracts. The long-term continuation, or any future recurrence of these circumstances may negatively impact the ability of our employees to ~~more~~ effectively deliver existing or sell new products and services to our members and could affect our performance of our existing contracts.

•Materials and personnel shortages and disruptions in supply chain, including manufacturing and shipping. The global supply chain has been ~~significantly~~materially disrupted due to ~~stay at home~~stay-at-home orders, border closings and rapidly escalating shipping costs. Borders closings and restrictions in response to COVID-19, particularly regarding China and India, have impacted our access to products for our members. Staffing or personnel shortages due to ~~shelter in place~~shelter-in-place orders and quarantines have impacted and in the future may impact us and our members, other customers or suppliers. In addition, due to unprecedented demand during the COVID-19 pandemic, there ~~are~~have been widespread shortages in certain product categories. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we lost revenue when member healthcare systems chose to source products directly themselves rather than through our GPO when incumbent suppliers could not deliver products in a timely manner or at all, and we were not able to locate reputable alternative suppliers. In the food service line, COVID-19 related illnesses ~~have~~ impacted food processing suppliers and led to plant closures. If the supply ~~chains~~chain for materials used in the products purchased by our members through our GPO or products contract manufactured through our direct sourcing business ~~are~~continue to be adversely impacted by restrictions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, our supply ~~chains~~chain may continue to be disrupted. In addition, due to the volatility of the price and supply of products, including PPE, there is risk that we may purchase products from suppliers at that we cannot recover in the event of a potential material price decline. Failure of our suppliers, contract manufacturers, distributors, contractors and other business partners to meet their obligations to our members, other customers or to us, or ~~significant~~material disruptions in their ability to do so due to their own financial or operational difficulties, may adversely impact our operations.

•Requests for contract modifications, payment deferrals or exercises of force majeure clauses. We have and may continue to receive requests for contract modifications, payment waivers and deferrals, payment reductions or amended payment terms from our contract counterparties. We have and may continue to receive requests to delay service or payment on performance service contracts. In addition, we may receive requests from our suppliers for increases to their contracted prices, and such requests may be implemented in the future. In addition, several pharmacy suppliers have exercised force majeure clauses related to failure to supply clauses in their contracts with us because they are unable to obtain raw materials for manufacturing from India and China. The standard failure to supply language in our contracts contains financial penalties to suppliers if they are unable to supply products, which such suppliers may not be able to pay. In addition, we may not be able to source products from alternative suppliers on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

•Overall economic and capital markets decline. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic could result in a prolonged recession or depression in the United States or globally that could harm the banking system, limit demand for all products and services and cause other ~~seen~~foreseen and unforeseen events and circumstances, all of which could negatively impact us. The continued spread of COVID-19 has led to and could continue to lead to severe disruption and volatility in the United States

and global capital markets, which could increase our cost of capital and adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets in the future. In addition, trading prices on the public stock market, ~~including~~as well as that of our Class A common stock, have been highly volatile as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

•Managing the evolving regulatory environment. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, federal, state and local governments are issuing new rules, regulations, changing reimbursement eligibility rules, orders and advisories on a regular basis. These government actions can impact us and our members, other customers and suppliers.

The ultimate impact of COVID-19, variants thereof, recurrences, or similar pandemics on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows is dependent on future developments, including the duration of any pandemic and the related length of its impact on the United States and global economies, which are uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, variants thereof, recurrences, or future similar pandemics may also exacerbate many of the other risks described in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” section of the ~~2020~~2021 Annual Report. Despite our efforts to manage these impacts, their ultimate impact depends on factors beyond our knowledge or control, including the duration and severity of any outbreak and actions taken to contain its spread and mitigate its public health effects. The foregoing and other continued disruptions in our business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, variants thereof, recurrences or similar pandemics could result in a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, prospects and the trading prices of our securities in the near-term and through ~~some or all of~~ fiscal ~~2021.~~2022 and beyond.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Refer to Note 1 - Organization ~~and Basis of Presentation~~ and Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for more information related to our use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements as well as information related to material changes in our significant accounting policies that were included in our ~~2020~~2021 Annual Report.

New Accounting Standards

New accounting standards that we have recently adopted as well as those that have been recently issued but not yet adopted by us are included in Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Key Components of Our Results of Operations

Net Revenue

Net revenue consists of service revenue, which includes net administrative fees revenue and other services and support revenue, and product revenue. Net administrative fees revenue consists of GPO administrative fees in our Supply Chain Services segment. Other services and support revenue consists primarily of fees generated by our Performance Services segment as discussed below. Product revenue consists of direct sourcing product sales, which are included in the Supply Chain Services segment.

Supply Chain Services

Supply Chain Services revenue consists of GPO net administrative fees (gross administrative fees received from suppliers, reduced by the amount of revenue share paid to members), supply chain co-management and direct sourcing revenue.

The success of our Supply Chain Services revenue streams are influenced by our ability to negotiate favorable contracts with suppliers and members, the number of members that utilize our GPO supplier contracts and the volume of their purchases, as well as the impact of changes in the defined allowable reimbursement amounts determined by Medicare, Medicaid and other managed care plans and the number of members and other customers that purchase products through our direct sourcing activities and the impact of competitive pricing.

Performance Services

Performance Services revenue consists of of:

•SaaS clinical analytics products subscriptions, license fees, performance improvement collaborative and other service subscriptions, professional fees for consulting services ~~third party administrator fees for our direct to employer initiative,~~and insurance services management fees and commissions from endorsed commercial insurance ~~programs.~~programs under our PINC AI technology and services platform;

•third party administrator fees for our Contigo Health direct to employer business; and

•customer fees for our Remitra electronic invoicing and payables business.

Our Performance Services growth will depend upon the expansion of our ~~SaaS clinical analytics products, performance improvement collaboratives~~PINC AI technology and ~~consulting~~ services platform to new and existing members and other customers, expansion of our Contigo Health and Remitra businesses to new members, renewal of existing subscriptions to our SaaS and licensed informatics products, ~~and~~ our ability to generate additional applied sciences engagements, our ability to sell enterprise analytics licenses to new and existing customers at rates sufficient to offset the loss of recurring SaaS based revenue due to the conversion to an enterprise analytics license and expand into new markets.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists of cost of service revenue and cost of product revenue.

Cost of service revenue includes expenses related to employees (including compensation and benefits) and outside consultants who directly provide services related to revenue-generating activities, including consulting services to members and other customers and implementation services related to SaaS clinical analytics along with associated amortization of certain capitalized contract costs. Amortization of contract costs represent amounts that have been capitalized and reflect the incremental costs of obtaining and fulfilling a contract. Amortization of contract costs included within cost of service revenue include costs related to implementing SaaS informatics tools. Cost of service revenue also includes expenses related to hosting services, related data center capacity costs, third-party product license expenses and amortization of the cost of ~~internally-developed~~internally developed software applications.

Cost of product revenue consists of purchase and shipment costs for direct sourced medical and commodity products. Our cost of product revenue is influenced by the manufacturing and transportation costs associated with direct sourced medical and commodity products.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses includes selling, general and administrative expenses, research and development expenses and amortization of purchased intangible assets.

Selling, general and administrative expenses are directly associated with selling and administrative functions and support of revenue-generating activities including expenses to support and maintain our software-related products and services. Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of compensation and benefits related costs, travel-related expenses, business development expenses, including costs for business acquisition opportunities, ~~business disposition related expenses,~~ indirect costs such as insurance, professional fees and other general overhead expenses, and amortization of certain contract costs. Amortization of contract costs represent amounts, including sales commissions, that have been capitalized and reflect the incremental costs of obtaining and fulfilling a contract. ~~Amortization of contract costs included within selling, general and administrative expenses include sales commissions.~~

Research and development expenses consist of employee-related compensation and benefit expenses and third-party consulting fees of technology professionals, net of capitalized labor, incurred to develop our software-related products and ~~services.~~services prior to reaching technological feasibility.

Amortization of purchased intangible assets includes the amortization of all identified intangible assets.

Other (Expense) Income, Net

Other (expense) income, net, includes equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates that is generated from our equity method investments. Our equity method investments primarily consist of our ~~49% ownership~~interests in FFF Enterprises, Inc. (“FFF”) and Prestige Ameritech Ltd. (“Prestige”) (see Note 4 - Investments). Other (expense) income, ~~(expense),~~ net, also includes the change in the fair value of ~~our~~the FFF ~~put~~call right and ~~call rights~~the gain recognized as a result of the termination of the FFF Put Right and derecognition of the associated liability (see Note 65 - Fair Value Measurements), interest income and expense, realized and unrealized gains or losses on deferred compensation plan assets, gains or losses on the disposal of assets, and any impairment on our held-to-maturity investments.

Income Tax Expense

On August 11, 2020, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement by and among the Company, Premier LP and BridgeCo, a wholly owned subsidiary of Premier Services, LLC formed for the sole purpose of merging with and into Premier LP. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) each of the issued and outstanding Class B common units was canceled and converted automatically into a right to receive one share of the Company’s Class A common stock, and (ii) all of the issued and outstanding shares of Class B common stock of the Company beneficially held by the LPs were canceled in accordance with the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation. As a result of the Merger, Premier simplified the Company’s tax structure whereby the Company and its subsidiaries forming one consolidated filing group for federal income tax purposes. See Note 14 - Income Taxes. (Benefit)

Adjusted Net Income, a Non-GAAP financial measure as defined below in “Our Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures”, is calculated net of taxes based on our estimated annual effective tax rate for federal and state income tax, adjusted for unusual or infrequent items, as we are a consolidated filing group for federal income tax purposes with all of our subsidiaries’ activities included. ~~Prior to August 11, 2020, Adjusted Net Income was calculated as if we were one consolidated group for~~The tax ~~purposes. The~~ rate used to compute Adjusted Net Income was ~~24%~~21% and ~~26%~~24% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The change in the tax rate used to compute Adjusted Net Income is due to our plan to reorganize and ~~2019, respectively.~~

~~Income from Discontinued Operations, Net~~simplify our subsidiary reporting structure resulting in the release of ~~Tax~~

~~Income from discontinued operations, net~~$32.9 million of valuation allowance of our deferred tax ~~represents~~asset in the ~~net income or loss associated with the sale of certain assets and wind down and exit~~fiscal year ending June 30, 2022. As a result of the ~~specialty pharmacy business. See Note 4 - Discontinued Operations~~planned restructure, one of our consolidated subsidiaries is expected to have sufficient income to enable it to utilize its net operating loss and ~~Exit Activities~~research and development credit carryforwards. Of the $32.9 million release of the valuation allowance, $17.6 million is being included in the estimated annual effective tax rate calculation to the ~~accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.~~extent such carryforwards are projected to offset fiscal 2022 ordinary income and $15.3 million has been included as a discrete item in our first quarter of fiscal 2022 to the extent that the carryforwards are projected to offset income in future years beyond fiscal 2022.

Given the uncertainty of the plan to reorganize and simplify our subsidiary reporting structure as of June 30, 2021, we did not release any portion of the valuation allowance on June 30, 2021. We have made substantial progress on the plan to reorganize and simplify our subsidiary reporting structure in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 and expect to complete the plan prior to December 31, 2021. However, as there can be no assurance that all components of the plan will be completed in a timely manner or at all, and if not timely completed, we would be required to reverse the release of the $32.9 million deferred tax asset valuation allowance discussed above.

Net ~~Income~~Loss (Income) Attributable to Non-Controlling Interest

~~For the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized~~We recognize net ~~income~~loss (income) attributable to ~~the limited partners of Premier LP through August 11, 2020, the date of the Merger.~~non-controlling interest for non-Premier ownership in our consolidated subsidiaries which hold interest in our equity method investments. At September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we ~~through Premier Services, LLC (“Premier GP)~~owned approximately 26%, ~~the sole general partner of Premier LP,~~21% and ~~Premier Services II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, wholly-owned subsidiary~~15% of the ~~Company and sole limited partner~~membership interest of Premier LP, held 100% interest in Premier LP. At June 30, 2020, we held 59% sole general partner interest in Premier LP. In addition to their equity ownership interest in the Company, our member owners held a 0% and 41% limited partner interest in Premier LP at September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, respectively (see Note 10 - Redeemable Limited Partners' Capital to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements).

~~As of September 30, 2020, PSCI, along with 16 member health systems hold a minority interest in Prestige Ameritech Ltd. (“Prestige”). We, through our consolidated subsidiary,~~ PRAM Holdings, LLC (“PRAM”), ~~held an approximate 20% interest in Prestige through our ownership of limited partnership units at September 30, 2020.~~DePre Holdings, LLC (“DePre”) and ExPre Holdings, LLC (“ExPre”), respectively. We ~~own approximately 26% of the membership interest of PRAM and~~ recognized net ~~income~~loss (income) attributable to non-controlling interest for the 74%, 79% and 85% interest held in PRAM, DePre and ExPre, respectively, by ~~the 16~~ member health ~~systems.~~systems or their affiliates.

We define EBITDA 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. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before merger and acquisition related expenses and non-recurring, non-cash or non-operating items and including equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates. For all Non-GAAP financial measures, we consider non-recurring 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 certain strategic and financial restructuring expenses. Non-operating items include gains or losses on the disposal of assets and interest and investment income or expense.

We define Segment Adjusted EBITDA 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 and including equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates. 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.

We define Adjusted Net Income as net income attributable to Premier (i) excluding income or loss from discontinued operations, net, (ii) excluding income tax expense, (iii) excluding the impact of adjustment of redeemable limited partners’ capital to redemption amount, (iv) excluding the effect of non-recurring or non-cash items, including certain strategic and financial restructuring expenses, (v) assuming the exchange of all the Class B common units for shares of Class A common stock, which results in the elimination of non-controlling interest in Premier LP and (vi) 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. We define Adjusted Earnings per Share as Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted weighted average shares (see Note 1211 - Earnings Per Share).

We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations less distributions and ~~TRA~~Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) payments to limited partners, early termination payments to certain former limited partners that elected to execute a Unit Exchange and Tax Receivable Acceleration Agreement (“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.

Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are supplemental financial measures used by us and by external users of our financial statements and are considered to be indicators of the operational strength and performance of our business. Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow measures allow us to assess our performance without regard to financing methods and capital structure and without the impact of other matters that we do not consider indicative of the operating performance of our business. More specifically, Segment Adjusted EBITDA is the primary earnings measure we use to evaluate the performance of our business segments.

We use Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period that, when viewed in combination with our

results prepared in accordance with GAAP, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDA assist our Board of Directors, management and investors in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period because they remove the impact of earnings elements attributable to our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization), certain items outside the control of our management team, e.g. taxes, other non-cash items (such as impairment of intangible assets, purchase accounting adjustments and stock-based compensation), ~~and~~ non-recurring items (such as strategic and financial restructuring expenses) and income and expense that has been classified as discontinued operations from our operating results. We believe Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share assist our Board of Directors, management and investors in comparing our net income and earnings per share on a consistent basis from period to period because these measures remove non-cash (such as impairment of intangible assets, purchase accounting adjustments and stock-based compensation) and non-recurring items (such as strategic and financial restructuring expenses), and eliminate the variability of non-controlling interest that results from

member owner exchanges of Class B common units for shares of Class A common stock. We believe Free Cash Flow is an important measure because it represents the cash that we generate after payment of tax distributions to limited partners, payments to certain former limited partners that elected to execute a Unit Exchange Agreement and capital investment 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. Our Free Cash Flow allows us to enhance stockholder value through acquisitions, partnerships, joint ventures, investments in related businesses and debt reduction.

Despite the importance of these Non-GAAP financial measures in analyzing our business, determining compliance with certain financial covenants in our Credit Facility, measuring and determining incentive compensation and evaluating our operating performance relative to our competitors, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share and Free Cash Flow are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP, may have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, net income, net cash provided by operating activities, or any other measure of our performance derived in accordance with GAAP.

Some of the limitations of the EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDA measures include that they do not reflect: our capital expenditures or our future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; the interest expense or the cash requirements to service interest or principal payments under our Credit Facility; income tax payments we are required to make; and any cash requirements for replacements of assets being depreciated or amortized. In addition, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are not measures of liquidity under GAAP, or otherwise, and are not alternatives to cash flows from operating activities.

Some of the limitations of the Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share measures are that they do not reflect income tax expense or income tax payments we are required to make. In addition, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share are not measures of profitability under GAAP.

We also urge you to review the reconciliation of these Non-GAAP financial measures included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. To properly and prudently evaluate our business, we encourage you to review the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and to not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. In addition, because the EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share and Free Cash Flow measures are susceptible to varying calculations, such Non-GAAP financial measures may differ from, and may therefore not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Non-recurring and non-cash items excluded in our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income consist of stock-based compensation, acquisition and disposition related expenses, remeasurement of TRA liabilities, gain on or loss on FFF put and call rights, income and expense that has been classified as discontinued operations and other expense. More information about certain of the more significant items follows below.

Stock-based compensation

In addition to non-cash employee stock-based compensation expense, this item includes non-cash stock purchase plan expense of $0.2 million and $0.1 million for ~~both~~ the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019~~respectively (see Note 1312 - Stock-Based Compensation to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements).

Acquisition and disposition related expenses

Acquisition related expenses include legal, accounting, and other expenses related to acquisition activities and gains and losses on the change in fair value of earn-out liabilities. Disposition related expenses include severance and retention benefits and financial advisor fees and legal fees related to disposition activities.

~~Remeasurement of TRA liabilities~~

On August 10, 2020, we exercised our right to terminate the TRA entered into as of September 25, 2013 and effective as of October 1, 2013 by and among us and the former limited partners of Premier LP by providing all former LPs a notice of the termination and the amount of the expected payment to be made to each LP pursuant to the early termination provisions of the TRA with a determination date of August 10, 2020.

Prior to termination of the TRA, we recorded TRA liabilities based on 85% of the estimated amount of tax savings we expected to receive, generally over a 15-year period, which were attributable to the initial purchase of Class B common units from the member owners made concurrently with the IPO and subsequent exchanges by member owners of Class B common units into Class A common stock or cash. Tax payments made under the TRA were made to the member owners as we realized tax benefits. Determining the estimated amount of tax savings we expected to receive required judgment as deductibility of goodwill amortization expense was not assured and the estimate of tax savings was dependent upon the actual realization of the tax benefit and the tax rates in effect at that time.

Gain or loss on FFF put and call rights

See Note 65 - Fair Value Measurements to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Consolidated Results - Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 to ~~2019~~2020

~~Net Revenue~~

Net revenue increased by $44.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to an increase of $67.3 million in product revenue, an increase of $16.9 million in other services and support revenue and partially offset by a decrease of $39.8 million in net administrative fees revenue. The variances in the material factors contributing to the changes in the consolidated ~~net revenue~~results are discussed further in “Segment Results” below.

Net Revenue

Net revenue increased by $18.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020, primarily due to an increase of $16.9 million in net administrative fees revenue and an increase of $3.0 million in products revenue partially offset by a decrease of $1.5 million in other services and support revenue.

At June 30, 2020, the portion of net income attributable to the limited partners of Premier LP was 41%.

~~Partially offsetting the decrease was the addition of non-controlling interest for the portion of net income attributable to PRAM Holdings, LLC and HDP, which was 74% and 3%, respectively.~~

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 to ~~2019~~2020

Net Revenue

Supply Chain Services segment net revenue increased by ~~$30.6~~$23.2 million, or ~~14%~~9%, during the three months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 compared to the three months ended September 30, ~~2019~~2020 primarily due to an increase in net administrative fees of $16.8 million driven by an increase in the demand for supplies and services and our existing members increased utilization of our contracts as well as by the addition of new categories and suppliers and the addition of new members to our contract portfolio.

Supply Chain Services segment net revenue also increased due to an increase in product revenue of ~~$67.3~~$3.0 million ~~primarily due to the aggregated purchasing of personal protective equipment as a result of COVID-19~~ and ~~growth in commodity products and aggregated purchasing of certain products as well~~ an increase ~~of $3.0 million~~ in other services and support revenue ~~primarily~~of $3.3 million. Product revenue increased due to ~~supply chain co-management fees as a result of the asset acquisition of Nexera.~~

~~These increases were~~growth in commodity products under our PREMIERPRO® brand partially offset by a decrease in ~~net~~demand as the industry slowly normalizes to pre-pandemic levels.

Other services and support revenue increased due an increase in administrative ~~fees of $39.8 million primarily as a result of amendments to GPO Participation Agreements, effective as of July 1, 2020, lower utilization of GPO contracts~~support service revenue and the related decline in the demand for supplies and services as a result of COVID-19 and amortization of the prepaid contract administrative fee share for one-time rebates paid by Acurity, Inc. to certain of its then members, as agreed to by Acurity, Inc. prior to entering into the Purchase Agreement. These decreases in net administrative fees were partially offset by continuing contract penetration and the addition of new categories and suppliers.

We anticipate lower net administrative fees in fiscal year 2021 due to amendments to GPO Participation Agreements and the ongoing impact from COVID-19. However, once the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided and we move into fiscal year 2022, we expect our net administrative fees revenue to grow to the extent our existing members increase the utilization of our contracts and additional members convert to our contract portfolio. Due to competitive market trends, we have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, requests, at times, to provide existing and prospective members increases in revenue share on incremental or overall purchasing volume that could, if materially increased, adversely impact our revenues and overall financial performance.

However, once the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we expect our cost of product revenue to increase to the extent we are able to sell additional direct-sourced medical products to new and existing members. Depending on the underlying product sales mix, increases in product revenues could reduce our gross profit as a percentage of our net revenues.pre-pandemic levels.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal source of cash has primarily been cash provided by operating activities. From time to time we have used, and expect to use in the future, borrowings under our Credit Facility (as defined below) as a source of liquidity. Our primary cash requirements involve operating expenses, working capital fluctuations, revenue share obligations, tax payments, capital expenditures, dividend payments on our Class A common stock, if and when declared, repurchases of Class A common stock pursuant to stock repurchase programs in place from time to time, acquisitions and related business investments, and general

corporate activities. Our capital expenditures typically consist of ~~internally-developed~~internally developed software costs, software purchases, and computer hardware purchases.

As of September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of ~~$120.4~~$184.4 million and ~~$99.3~~$129.1 million, respectively. As of September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, there were ~~$150.0~~$175.0 million and $75.0 million, respectively, of outstanding borrowings under ~~the~~our Credit Facility. During the three months ended September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we borrowed ~~$100.0~~$175.0 million and repaid ~~$25.0~~$75.0 million of borrowings under ~~the~~our Credit Facility, which was used for other general corporate purposes. OnIn October ~~14, 2020, the Company~~2021, we repaid $50.0 million of outstanding borrowings under ~~the~~our Credit Facility.

We expect cash generated from operations and borrowings under our Credit Facility to provide us with adequate liquidity to fund our anticipated working capital requirements, revenue share obligations, tax payments, capital expenditures, dividend payments on our Class A common stock, if and when declared, and repurchases of Class A common stock pursuant to stock repurchase programs in place from time to time. Our capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including funding requirements for our product and service development and commercialization efforts, our information technology requirements, and the amount of cash generated by our operations. We believe that we have adequate capital resources at our disposal to fund currently anticipated capital expenditures, business growth and expansion, and current and projected debt service requirements. However, strategic growth initiatives will likely require the use of one or a combination of various forms of capital resources including available cash on hand, cash generated from operations, borrowings under our Credit Facility and other long-term debt and, potentially, proceeds from the issuance of additional equity or debt securities.

During the second half of fiscal 2020, the COVID-19 ~~became a~~ global pandemic ~~that~~continued to spread throughout the United States and much of the rest of the world. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic ~~will~~may impact our business, operating results, financial condition and liquidity in the future will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and variants thereof, the continued actions to contain it orand treat its impact, including the ~~timing, development and deployment~~success of ~~an effective vaccine,~~the COVID-19 vaccination program, or recurrences of COVID-19, variants thereof or similar pandemics. As discussed in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our ~~2020~~2021 Annual Report, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and potential future pandemic outbreaks, we face significant risks including but not limited to the following:

•We have experienced and may continue to experience demand uncertainty from both significant increases and decreases in demand for PPE, drugs and other ~~products~~supplies directly related to the ~~treatment~~treating and preventing the spread of COVID-19 and any variants thereof and decreases in demand for ~~non-COVID-19 related~~non-COVID-19-related products.

•Our ~~GPO~~ member hospitals and non-acute care sites have experienced reduced or limited access for non-patients, including our field teams, consultants and other professionals, and travel restrictions have impacted our ~~employees'~~employees’ ability to travel to our ~~members'~~members’ facilities.

•The global supply chain has been significantly disrupted due to stay at home orders, border closings and rapidly escalating shipping costs.

•We have and may continue to receive requests for contract modifications, payment waivers and deferrals, payment reductions or amended payment terms from our contract counterparties. In addition, several pharmacy suppliers have exercised force majeure clauses related to failure to supply clauses in their contracts with us.

•The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and any variants thereof could result in a prolonged recession or depression in the United States or globally that could harm the banking system, limit demand for all products and services and cause other ~~seen~~foreseen and unforeseen events and circumstances, all of which could negatively impact us.

•In response to COVID-19 and variants thereof, federal, state and local governments are issuing new rules, regulations, changing reimbursement eligibility rules, orders and advisories on a regular basis. These government actions can impact us, ~~and~~ our members, other customers and suppliers.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased primarily due to no investments in unconsolidated affiliates in the current year. This decrease was partially offset by an~~2020. The increase in purchases of property and equipment and no proceeds received during the current year from the liquidation of property and equipment in connection with our exit from specialty pharmacy operations in June 2019.

Net cash provided by financing activities of $15.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 differed by $110.1 million from cash used in financing activities of $94.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Net cash provided by operating activities attributable to discontinued operations decreased by $11.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to payments on liabilities that were outstanding as of September 30, 2019.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow for theThree Months Ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019~~2020

We define Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations less distributions and TRA 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.

Credit Facility

~~Premier LP, along with its consolidated subsidiaries, PSCI and PHSI, as Co-Borrowers, Premier GP and certain domestic subsidiaries of Premier GP, as guarantors, entered into~~We maintain an unsecured ~~Credit Facility, dated~~credit facility which provides for borrowings of up to $1.0 billion with a $50.0 million sub-facility for standby letters of credit and a $100.0 million sub-facility for swingline loans as well as the ability to incur incremental term loans from time to time and request an increase in the revolving commitments up to an aggregate of ~~November 9, 2018.~~$350.0 million, subject to certain conditions (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility ~~has a maturity date of~~matures on November 9, 2023, subject to up to two one-year extensions atwhich require the ~~request of the Co-Borrowers and~~ approval of a majority of the lenders under the Credit Facility. ~~The Credit Facility provides for~~

Outstanding borrowings of up to $1.0 billion with (i) a $50.0 million sub-facility for standby letters of credit and (ii) a $100.0 million sub-facility for swingline loans. The Credit Facility also provides that Co-Borrowers may from time to time (i) incur incremental term loans and (ii) request an increase in the revolving commitments under the Credit Facility together up to an aggregate of $350.0 million, subject to the approval of the lenders providing such term loans or revolving commitment increase. The Credit Facility includes an unconditional and irrevocable guaranty of all obligations under the Credit Facility by Premier GP, certain domestic subsidiaries of Premier GP and future guarantors, if any. Premier, Inc. is not a guarantor under the Credit Facility.

~~At our option, committed loans may be in the form of Eurodollar rate loans (“Eurodollar Loans”) or base rate loans (“Base Rate Loans”). Eurodollar Loans~~ bear interest on a variable rate structure with borrowings bearing interest at ~~the Eurodollar rate (defined as~~either the London Interbank Offered Rate or LIBOR, plus the Applicable Rate (defined as a margin based on the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility))). Base Rate Loans bear interest at the Base Rate (defined as the highest of the prime rate announced by the administrative agent, the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, the one-month LIBOR plus 1.0% and 0.0%(“LIBOR”) plus ~~the Applicable Rate. The Applicable~~

~~Rate ranges~~an applicable margin ranging from 1.000% to 1.500% ~~for Eurodollar Loans and~~or the prime lending rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.000% to 0.500% for Base Rate Loans. In the event that LIBOR is no longer available, the Credit Facility states that interest will be calculated based upon rates offered to leading banks for comparable loans by leading banks in the London interbank market. At September 30, 2020, the interest rate for one-month Eurodollar Loans was 1.148% and the interest rate for Base Rate Loans was 3.250%. ~~The Co-Borrowers are required to~~We pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.100% to 0.200% ~~per annum on the actual daily~~for unused ~~amount of commitments~~capacity under the Credit Facility. At September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility was 1.090% and the commitment fee was 0.100%.

The Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties as well as customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, limitations on liens, indebtedness, fundamental changes, dispositions, restricted payments and investments. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, Premier GP’s consolidated total net leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) may not exceed 3.75 to 1.00 for four consecutive quarters, provided that, in connection with any acquisition for which the aggregate consideration exceeds $250.0 million, the maximum consolidated total net leverage ratio may increase to 4.25 to 1.00 for the four consecutive fiscal quarters beginning with the quarter in which such acquisition is completed. In addition, Premier GP must maintain a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) of 2.50 to 1.00 at the end of every fiscal quarter. Premier GP wascovenants. We were in compliance with all such covenants at September 30, ~~2020.~~

2021. The Credit Facility also contains customary events of default, including ~~among others, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults~~a cross-default of any indebtedness or guarantees in excess of $75.0 million, bankruptcy and other insolvency events, ERISA-related liabilities and judgment defaults in excess of $50.0 million, and the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the Credit Facility).million. If any event of default occurs and is continuing, the administrative agent under the Credit Facility may, with the consent, or shall, at the request of a majority of the lenders under the Credit Facility, terminate the commitments and declare all of the amounts owed under the Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable. The Company may prepay amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility without premium or penalty provided that Co-Borrowers compensate the lenders for losses and expenses incurred as a result of the prepayment of any Eurodollar Loan, as defined in the Credit Facility.

Proceeds from borrowings under the Credit Facility may generally be used to finance ongoing working capital requirements, including permitted acquisitions, ~~cash dividends, if and when declared,~~ repurchases of Class A common stock pursuant to stock repurchase programs, in place from time to time, dividend payments, if and when declared, and other general corporate activities. WeAt September 30, 2021, we had ~~$150.0 million~~ outstanding borrowings of $175.0 million under the Credit Facility ~~at September 30, 2020~~ with ~~$850.0~~$824.9 million of available borrowing capacity after reductions for outstanding borrowings and outstanding letters of credit. OnIn October ~~14, 2020, the Company~~2021, we repaid $50.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility.

The above summary does not purport to be complete, and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the complete text of the Credit Facility, which is filed as Exhibit 10.21 to the 2020 Annual Report. See also Note 98 - Debt and Notes Payable to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Cash Dividends

On ~~August 5, 2020,~~September 15, 2021, we paid a cash dividend of $0.20 per share on outstanding shares of Class A common stock to stockholders of record on September 1, 2021. On October 21, 2021, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of ~~$0.19 per share, which was paid on September 15, 2020 to stockholders of record on September 1, 2020. On October 22, 2020, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.19~~$0.20 per share, payable on December 15, ~~2020~~2021 to stockholders of record on December 1, ~~2020.~~ 2021.

We currently expect quarterly dividends to continue to be paid on or about December 15, March 15, June 15, and September 15. However, the actual declaration of any future cash dividends, and the setting of record and payment dates as well as the per share amounts, will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors each quarter after consideration of various factors, including our results of operations, financial condition and capital requirements, earnings, general business conditions, restrictions imposed by our current credit facility and any future financing arrangements, legal restrictions on the payment of dividends and other factors our Board of Directors deems relevant.

Stock Repurchase Program

On August 5, 2021, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $250.0 million of our outstanding Class A common stock during fiscal year 2022 through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions. At September 30,

2021, we had purchased approximately 1.1 million shares of Class A common stock at an average price of $39.04 per share for a total purchase price of $42.6 million. The purchase authorization may be suspended, delayed, or discontinued at any time at the discretion of our Board of Directors. Repurchases are subject to compliance with applicable federal securities laws and our management may, at its discretion, suspend, delay, or discontinue repurchases at any time, based on market conditions, alternate uses of capital, or other factors.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market risk ~~related~~relates primarily to the increase or decrease in the amount of any interest expense we must pay with respect to outstanding variable-rate debt instruments. At September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we had ~~$150.0~~$175.0 million outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility. At September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, a one-percent change in the weighted average interest rate charged on outstanding borrowings under ~~the~~our Credit Facility would ~~result in a net change in~~increase or decrease interest expense over the next twelve months by ~~$1.5~~$1.8 million.

We invest our excess cash in a portfolio of individual cash equivalents. We do not ~~currently~~ hold ~~and have never held,~~ any material derivative financial instruments. We do not expect changes in interest rates to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial

position. ~~We plan to ensure the safety and preservation of our invested funds by limiting default, market, and investment risks.~~ We plan to mitigate default, ~~risk~~market, and investment risks of our invested funds by investing in low-risk securities.

Foreign Currency Risk

Substantially all of our financial transactions are conducted in U.S. dollars. We do not have significant foreign operations and, accordingly, do not believe we have market risk associated with foreign currencies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon our evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, ~~2020.~~2021.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We ~~participate in~~operate businesses that are subject to substantial litigation from time to time. We are periodically involved in litigation, arising in the ordinary course of business or otherwise, which from time to time may include claims relating to contractual disputes, product liability, tort or personal injury, employment, antitrust, intellectual property or other commercial or regulatory matters. If current or future government regulations are interpreted or enforced in a manner adverse to us or our business, including without limitation those with respect to antitrust or healthcare laws, we may be subject to enforcement actions, penalties, damages and material limitations on our business.

Furthermore, as a public company, we may become subject to stockholder inspection demands under Delaware law and derivative or other similar litigation.

From time to time we have been named as a defendant in class action or other antitrust lawsuits brought by suppliers or purchasers of medical products. Typically, these lawsuits have alleged the existence of a conspiracy among manufacturers of competing products, distributors and/or operators of GPOs, including us, to deny the plaintiff access to a market for certain products to raise the prices for products and/or limit the plaintiff’s choice of products to buy. We believe that we have at all times conducted our business affairs in an ethical and legally compliant manner and have successfully resolved all such actions. No assurance can be given that we will not be subjected to similar actions in the future or that any such existing or future matters will be resolved in a manner satisfactory to us or which will not harm our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Additional information relating to certain legal proceedings in which we are involved is included in Note 1614 - Commitments and Contingencies to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
