About athenahealth
athenahealth is the most universally-connected healthcare network in the country. Everything we do is to enhance the experience and outcomes of healthcare. Today, we connect 114,000 providers and 110 million patients through clinical and financial services like electronic health records, population health tools, revenue cycle management, and care coordination. And, because we believe that collaboration and innovation will make healthcare work as it should, we aim to build the nation’s leading platform where providers, patients, payers, and innovators can partner to transform care, together.
Opening Remarks
We are now and always have been focused on building the platform for healthcare. We aim to help improve outcomes, lower costs, and enable a better experience for patients and providers. In order to deliver on our vision, we are focusing our investments on our best opportunities to serve our customers in the ambulatory and small hospital markets. In the ambulatory market, we are deepening our core services and using our network to increase the value we deliver for healthcare providers. In the small hospital market, we are focused on building a scalable, sustainable, network-centric service for small hospitals. As we execute on our strategic priorities, we plan to strike an optimal balance between revenue growth, operating income, and free cash flow. Our financial results in the first quarter reflect strong revenue growth and continued execution on our plans to reduce expenses and operate more efficiently. We are extremely focused on driving demand for our services, delivering on our client commitments, and achieving our financial goals.
Results Overview
We adopted a new revenue recognition standard on January 1, 2018. Please note that the financial results presented below include both amounts “as presented,” which reflect implementation of the new revenue recognition standard, as well as amounts prior to the impact of the new revenue recognition standard to allow for comparability against historical results. Starting in fiscal year 2019, we will no longer present our GAAP and Non-GAAP financial results under the previous revenue recognition standard. For additional information and reconciliations of our financial results between the new and previous revenue recognition standard, see the additional tables included in these prepared remarks, in our first quarter 2018 earnings press release, as well as in the Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 26, 2018.
athenahealth’s top line results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 reflect strong growth in athenaCollector providers as well as a modest favorable impact from the more severe flu season. Double digit revenue growth combined with expense management drove strong profitability during the first quarter.

athenahealth’s client base continues to expand while client adoption of other services in the athenahealth service suite grows. As our client base expands outside the traditional ambulatory market, we believe that total providers, covered lives, and discharge bed days managed by or transacted across our network are appropriate metrics to use when measuring our market share. During Q1 2018:
| |
• | 82% of all new athenaCollector deals included athenaClinicals in Q1 2018, compared to 80% in Q1 2017. |
| |
• | 78% of all new athenaCollector deals included athenaClinicals, athenaCommunicator, and athenaCoordinator in Q1 2018, compared to 78% in Q1 2017. |
| |
• | 54.8% of total athenaCollector providers have adopted athenaClinicals as of Q1 2018, up slightly from 54.5% as of Q4 2017. |
| |
• | 63.0% of total athenaCollector providers have adopted athenaCommunicator as of Q1 2018, down slightly from 63.2% as of Q4 2017. |
| |
• | Network growth metrics for ambulatory (athenaOne), hospital (athenaOne for Hospitals & Health Systems), and population health (athenahealth Population Health) services from Q4 2017 to Q1 2018 were as follows: |

Corporate Scorecard Update
Please see our 2018 Proxy Statement filed on April 26, 2018 for a description of the changes we are making to the overall design of our executive bonus and equity programs for fiscal year 2018. For example, the compensation committee adopted a new, simpler bonus program consisting of three key financial and operational metrics for fiscal year 2018. The metrics we are using for our fiscal year 2018 executive bonus program are non-GAAP operating margin, revenue, and client retention rate. As a result of these changes, we are no longer disclosing our corporate scorecard metrics and results on a quarterly basis. However, we will continue to publish the annual corporate scorecard results in our proxy statement.
Revenue Discussion
Q1 2018 revenue as presented was $329.4 million. Q1 2018 revenue prior to the impact of the new revenue recognition standard was $320.3 million and grew by 12% (or $34.9 million) over Q1 2017. Q1 2018 business services revenue growth was driven by a 15% increase in athenaCollector providers, partially offset by a decline in Epocrates revenue.

Non-GAAP Gross Margin Discussion
Non-GAAP Gross Margin as presented was 55.5% for Q1 2018. Non-GAAP Gross Margin prior to the impact of the new revenue recognition standard was 53.0% for Q1 2018, up approximately 150 basis points from 51.5% in Q1 2017. As discussed at our Investor Summit in February 2018, we plan to drive increased levels of profitable growth in 2018. During the first quarter, we continued to appropriately invest in our work reduction efforts, our customer success initiatives, as well as our platform initiatives aimed to increase the scale and reliability of athenaNet.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights
As of March 31, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents of $142.0 million and outstanding indebtedness of $270.0 million. Operating cash flow increased by $13.6 million from net cash provided by operating activities of $16.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, to net cash provided by operating activities of $30.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities is mainly driven by an increase in net income excluding the effect of non-cash items, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable as a result of continued revenue growth. Our free cash flow, defined as operating cash flow less investments in capitalized software and capital expenditures, increased by $21.2 million from a net outflow of $33.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 to a net outflow of $11.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Service Delivery and Operational Highlights
We partner with hospital and ambulatory clients to drive clinical and financial results. We offer network-based medical record, revenue cycle, patient engagement, care coordination, and population health services, as well as Epocrates® and other point-of-care mobile applications. By combining our commitment to opening up the network, multiplying our intelligence, and freeing people to do what matters, we help healthcare providers leverage technology to automate certain back-office tasks, assist at
the point of care, and adapt to changes in government regulatory schemes or the billing requirements of payers.
As discussed at our 2018 Investor Summit, we are transitioning to a platform company that aims to unleash our collective potential to transform healthcare. This is our new brand purpose and we aim to help improve outcomes, lower costs, and enable a better experience for patients and providers. We believe we are the only company that can deliver on our brand purpose and we aim to do this by delivering on three commitments. The first is to open up the network by allowing all providers, patients, and services to connect and share data on our platform. The second is to multiply our intelligence by collecting data from every interaction, and using it to create a feedback loop that powers unparalleled insights. The third is to free people to do what matters by eliminating the friction that characterizes so many healthcare interactions and allowing providers, patients, and leaders to concentrate on work they are uniquely equipped to do. During 2018, we plan to introduce a series of services focused on removing the burden and friction from workflows, information access, and the electronic health records (“EHR”) experience, including Epocrates Connect, authorization management services, medical coding services, and document services, to name a few. Here are some highlights from the first quarter that demonstrate the progress we are making on our strategic priorities and brand commitments.
Authorization Management: We identified authorization management as a top priority for our client work reduction efforts due to the fact that missing authorizations are one of the top drivers of denials and outstanding patient balances. Authorizations are required for many aspects of patient care, including imaging services, procedures, surgeries, therapy services, and primary care physician-to-specialist consults. But payer requirements vary greatly and change often, making it time-consuming to keep up. In fact, per the 2016 American Medical Association Prior Authorization Physician Survey, medical practices spend an average of about 16 hours per week per physician obtaining authorizations. We believe we have the scale to do this work faster and more efficiently to consistently drive better results and free up our clients to focus on patient care. Because we are the only vendor that provides integrated authorization management services, we can automatically begin processing pre-certifications and referrals as soon as the provider orders a medical service or a specialist consult in athenaClinicals. We then check the order against payer requirements in our Rules Engine to immediately determine if an authorization is required. If we determine that an authorization is required, our specially trained authorization team will then communicate directly with the payers to submit clinical documentation and follow up on authorization status to ensure that the patient gets the care they need. Once we obtain an authorization, we put it on file in athenaCollector and add it to the patient’s list of active authorizations. We introduced these authorization management services to small group accounts in 2017. Our authorization management services quickly proved successful with small organizations as demonstrated by the following performance metrics: 1) approximately 5,000 authorizations processed by athenahealth each month; 2) 96% success rate in obtaining prior authorizations; 3) 95% of non-urgent authorizations obtained within one week; and 4) 94% of authorizations delivered with zero client work. During 2018, we plan to test our service with larger organizations and expect to have clients live in all segments by the end of the year.
Epocrates Connect: We are expanding our mobile portfolio with the introduction of Epocrates Connect. Born from the Praxify acquisition, Epocrates Connect is a new and innovative mobile application that enhances the EHR experience, no matter which system the providers are required to work on. Epocrates Connect will offer an easy and intuitive user experience designed to streamline end-to-end clinical workflows and natural voice recognition technology that will allow providers to spend more time face-to-face with their patients and less time navigating their EHR for critical data. With Epocrates Connect, patient information will be able to be exchanged between providers and systems, enabling a more comprehensive patient view and enhancing care decision making. Finally, Epocrates Connect will facilitate care coordination by making communication between the provider and care setting less labor intensive. We first showcased Epocrates Connect at our booth at HIMSS in March 2018 and we expect to make the first version generally available by late 2018.
Patient Record Sharing: During 2017, we expanded our clients’ access to information from outside care sites through the launch of our patient record sharing capabilities with CommonWell and Carequality. Today, 96% of our athenaClinicals clients are connected to CommonWell and Carequality and automatically connected to one-third of participating Cerner sites and over three-quarters of participating Epic communities and growing. Nearly half of our active patients on the network are participating and benefiting from our patient record sharing capabilities and we expect this number to grow significantly in 2018. We believe the continued success of our patient record sharing capabilities advances our position as the most universally connected network in the country. A recent KLAS report ranked athenahealth as a leader in plug-and-play interoperability. Key findings from the “2018 KLAS Interoperability C-Suite Primer” report include:
| |
• | Unlike other vendors, athenahealth and just one other vendor remove barriers such as operational and technical effort, governance, and onboarding choices for their clients. |
| |
• | athenahealth is listed as the only vendor that has fully deployed its EHR client base on both CommonWell and Carequality. |
| |
• | athenahealth is highlighted as being the most proactive in pursuing all reasonable channels for sharing and is mentioned as being the best at sharing with different acute care and ambulatory EHRs. |
During 2018, we plan to continue to connect our providers to other care sites, tap into new repositories of clinical information, and ensure that shared clinical information is useful and powerfully relevant.
Real-Time Benefit Check: Real-Time Benefit Check is an integrated feature that gives providers patient-specific benefit and estimated price information on prescriptions, directly in athenaNet, when they place an order for a patient. We partnered with RelayHealth to deliver our Real-Time Benefit Check offering and we released this new feature to our clients in March 2018. Real-Time Benefit Check offers benefits to both patients and providers. It allows providers and patients to discuss treatment options and identify the prescription that best meets the patient’s medical and financial needs, while the patient is still in the office. This timely discussion with their provider can help provide patients with a better experience and may increase the likelihood that patients fill their prescriptions. This feature also gives providers access to reliable drug pricing data and may reduce manual work and time spent collaborating with the patient and pharmacy.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
TO COMPARABLE GAAP MEASURES
(Unaudited, in millions, except per share amounts)
The following is a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used by us to describe our financial results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading “Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the underlying performance of our business operations, investors are reminded to consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, it should be noted that these non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies, and management may utilize other measures to illustrate performance in the future. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP.
Please note that these figures may not sum exactly due to rounding.

Non-GAAP Operating Income Guidance
Set forth below is a reconciliation of our “Non-GAAP Operating Income” and “Non-GAAP Operating Margin” guidance for fiscal year 2018, which represents Non-GAAP Operating Income as a percentage of total revenue. Fiscal year 2018 guidance is prior to the impact of the new revenue recognition standard to allow for comparability against historical results. We will present our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income for our fiscal year 2018 results including the impact of the new revenue recognition standard and will provide a separate reconciliation to results prior to the impacts resulting from the new revenue recognition standard. Finally, the Non-GAAP adjusting line items should not be relied upon individually, as we are not guiding on individual line items, but upon the total operating income metrics, as included within our guidance table below.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP. However, management believes that, in order to properly understand our short-term and long-term financial and operational trends, investors may wish to consider the impact of certain non-cash or non-recurring items, when used as a supplement to financial performance measures in accordance with GAAP. These items result from facts and circumstances that vary in frequency and impact on continuing operations. Management also uses results of operations before such items to evaluate the operating performance of athenahealth and compare it against past periods, make operating decisions, and serve as a basis for strategic planning. These non-GAAP financial measures provide management with additional means to understand and evaluate the operating results and trends in our ongoing business by eliminating certain non-cash expenses and other items that management believes might otherwise make comparisons of our ongoing business with prior periods more difficult, obscure trends in ongoing operations, or reduce management’s ability to make useful forecasts. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional means of evaluating period-over-period operating performance. In addition, management understands that some investors and financial analysts find this information helpful in analyzing our financial and operational performance and comparing this performance to our peers and competitors.
Management defines “Non-GAAP Gross Profit” as total revenue, less cost of revenue, plus (1) stock-based compensation expense allocated to cost of revenue, (2) amortization of purchased intangible assets allocated to cost of revenue, (3) integration and transactions costs allocated to cost of revenue, and (4) exit costs, including restructuring costs allocated to cost of revenue, and “Non-GAAP Gross Margin” as Non-GAAP Gross Profit as a percentage of total revenue. Management considers these non-GAAP financial measures and metrics to be important indicators of our operational strength and performance of our business and a good measure of our historical operating trends. Moreover, management believes that these measures and metrics enable investors and financial analysts to closely monitor and understand changes in our ability to generate income from ongoing business operations.
Management defines “Non-GAAP Operating Income” as the sum of GAAP net income (loss) before provision for (benefit from) income taxes; total other expense; stock-based compensation expense; amortization of capitalized stock-based compensation related to software development; amortization of purchased intangible assets; integration and transaction costs; and exit costs, including restructuring costs; and “Non-GAAP Operating Margin” as Non-GAAP Operating Income as a percentage of total revenue. Management defines “Non-GAAP Net Income” as the sum of GAAP net income (loss) before stock-based compensation expense; amortization of capitalized stock-based compensation related to software development; amortization of purchased intangible assets; integration and transaction costs; exit costs, including restructuring costs; and gain or loss on investments and any tax impact related to these preceding items; and an adjustment to the tax provision for the non-GAAP tax rate and “Non-GAAP Net Income per Share - Diluted” as Non-GAAP Net Income divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. Management considers these non-GAAP financial measures to be important indicators of our operational strength and performance of our business and a good measure of our historical operating trends. Moreover, management believes that these measures enable investors and financial analysts to closely monitor and understand changes in our ability to generate income from ongoing business operations.
Management excludes or adjusts each of the items identified below from the applicable non-GAAP financial measure or metric referenced above for the reasons set forth with respect to that excluded item:
| |
• | Stock-based compensation expense and amortization of capitalized stock-based compensation related to software development — excluded because these are non-cash expenditures that management does not consider part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance |
of our business, and also because the total amount of the expenditure is partially outside of our control because it is based on factors such as stock price, volatility, and interest rates, which may be unrelated to our performance during the period in which the expenses are incurred.
| |
• | Amortization of purchased intangible assets — purchased intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives and generally cannot be changed or influenced by management after the acquisition. Accordingly, this item is not considered by management in making operating decisions. Management does not believe such charges accurately reflect the performance of our ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are incurred. |
| |
• | Integration and transaction costs — integration costs are the severance payments and retention bonuses for certain employees related to specific transactions. Transaction costs are costs related to strategic transactions. Accordingly, management believes that such expenses do not have a direct correlation to future business operations, and therefore, these costs are not considered by management in making operating decisions. Management does not believe such charges accurately reflect the performance of our ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are incurred. |
| |
• | Exit costs, including restructuring costs — represent costs incurred as a result of strategic realignments including those related to workforce reductions, termination of certain lease or other agreements, and non-cash charges related to the write down of certain assets. Management does not believe such costs accurately reflect the performance of our ongoing operations for the period in which such costs are incurred. |
| |
• | Gain or loss on investments — represents unrecognized or recognized gains or losses on the fair value, sales, or conversions of our investments, such as marketable securities and More Disruption Please Accelerator investments. Management does not believe such gains or losses accurately reflect the performance of our ongoing operations for the period in which such gains or losses are reported. Upon the adoption of the new financial instruments accounting standard effective for 2018, we present gains or losses on investments in Other (income) expense on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income which is not included in Operating Income but is included in the subtotal Income before income tax provision. |
| |
• | Non-GAAP tax rate — our statutory tax rates of 25% for fiscal year 2018 and 40% for fiscal year 2017 are applied to normalize the tax impact to our Non-GAAP Net Income per Diluted Share based on the fact that historically a relatively small change in pre-tax GAAP income (loss) in any one period could result in a volatile GAAP effective tax rate. |
