Net Revenue

Third Quarter

Total net revenue for the third quarter of 2012 increased 13.9% to $163.4 million from $143.6 million in the third quarter of 2011.

Net revenue in the SCM segment grew 9.4% to $99.1 million from non-GAAP net revenue of $90.6 million in the third quarter of 2011 primarily due to continued growth in group purchasing-related net administrative fees as well as the recognition of certain guarantee-related revenue and performance fees. Net revenue in the RCM segment increased 21.1% to $64.3 million from $53.1 million in the third quarter of 2011 as technology-related revenue grew 14.5%, due to growth in subscription fees from multiple products, while services-related revenue increased 36.8% from growth in both new and existing clients.

Nine-Month Period

Total net revenue for the first nine months of 2012 increased 13.0% to $476.3 million from $421.5 million in the first nine months of 2011.

Total non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $57.0 million, or 34.9% of total net revenue, in the third quarter of 2012, a 26.0% increase over total non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $45.2 million, or 31.4% of total non-GAAP net revenue, in the third quarter of 2011.

Nine-Month Period

In the first nine months of 2012, total non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $152.4 million, or 32.0% of total net revenue, a 16.8% increase over total non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $130.4 million, or 30.5% of total non-GAAP net revenue, in the first nine months of 2011.

Non-GAAP adjusted EPS, defined as EPS excluding non-cash acquisition-related intangible amortization and depreciation, non-cash share-based compensation, certain acquisition and integration-related expenses and non-recurring items on a tax-adjusted basis, increased 23.1% to $0.32 per share in the third quarter of 2012, versus non-GAAP adjusted EPS of $0.26 per share in the third quarter of 2011.

Non-GAAP adjusted EPS was $0.84 per share in the first nine months of 2012, a 27.3% increase over non-GAAP adjusted EPS of $0.66 per share in the first nine months of 2011.

Cash Flow and Capital Resources

Cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of 2012 was $107.7 million, a 42.3% increase from $75.7 million in the first nine months of 2011. The Company’s balance sheet at September 30, 2012 included $890.7 million in total bank and bond debt, net of cash and cash equivalents.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In order to provide investors with greater insight, promote transparency and allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management and the board of directors in their financial and operational decision-making, the Company supplements its condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis herein with the following non-GAAP financial information: gross fees; gross administrative fees; revenue share obligation; EBITDA; adjusted EBITDA; adjusted EBITDA margin; acquisition-related purchase accounting revenue adjustments; adjusted net income; diluted adjusted EPS; and contracted revenue.

These non-GAAP financial measures may have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. The Company compensates for such limitations by relying primarily on the Company’s GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally. Where possible, the Company provides reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Investors are encouraged to carefully review those reconciliations. In addition, because these non-GAAP measures are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and are susceptible to varying calculations, these measures, as defined by the Company, may differ from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Gross fees include gross administrative fees the Company receives pursuant to its vendor contracts and all other fees the Company receives from clients. The Company's revenue share obligation represents the portion of the gross administrative fees the Company is contractually obligated to share with certain of its GPO clients. Net administrative fees (a GAAP measure) are the Company's gross administrative fees net of its revenue share obligation. Total net revenue (a GAAP measure) reflects the Company's gross fees net of its revenue share obligation. These non-GAAP measures assist management and the board of directors and may be helpful to investors in analyzing the Company's growth in its Spend and Clinical Resource Management segment given that administrative fees constitute a material portion of the Company's revenue and are paid to the Company by approximately 1,150 suppliers and other vendors contracted by its GPO, and that the Company's revenue share obligation constitutes a significant outlay to certain of its GPO clients.

The Company defines: EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization; and adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization and other non-recurring, non-cash or non-operating items. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are used by the Company to facilitate a comparison of its operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period and provides for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. These measures assist management and the board of directors and may be useful to investors in comparing the Company's operating performance consistently over time as it removes the impact of its capital structure (primarily interest charges and amortization of debt issuance costs), asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) and items outside the control of the management team (taxes), as well as other non-cash (purchase accounting adjustments and imputed rental income) and non-recurring items, from the Company’s operational results. Adjusted EBITDA also removes the impact of non-cash share-based compensation expense and certain acquisition-related charges. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not measures of liquidity under GAAP, or otherwise, and are not alternatives to cash flow from continuing operating activities.

Acquisition-related purchase accounting revenue adjustments reflect an estimated reduction of net administrative fee revenue. Under the Company’s revenue recognition policies, administrative fees are recorded as revenue when reported to the Company by vendors. GAAP relating to business combinations required that the Company estimate the amount of client supply purchases (the driver of administrative fee revenue) occurring prior to the Broadlane acquisition closing date and to record the fair value of the administrative fees (the asset) to be received from those purchases as an account receivable and any corresponding revenue share obligation as a liability. As vendor reports were received and cash was collected, the Company did not recognize revenue for these acquisition-related purchase accounting revenue adjustments.

The Company defines adjusted net income as net income excluding non-cash acquisition-related intangible amortization and depreciation, and non-recurring expense items on a tax-adjusted basis, non-cash shared-based compensation and certain acquisition and integration-related expenses on a tax-adjusted basis and diluted adjusted EPS as earnings per share excluding non-cash acquisition-related intangible amortization and depreciation, and non-recurring expense items, non-cash shared-based compensation and certain acquisition and integration-related expenses on a tax-adjusted basis. Adjusted net income and diluted adjusted EPS are not measures of liquidity under GAAP, or otherwise, and are not alternatives to cash flow from continuing operating activities. Use of this measure for this purpose allows management and the board of directors to analyze the Company’s operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain non-cash and non-recurring items from the Company's operations, and by assessing organic growth and accretive business transactions. As a significant portion of senior management’s incentive based compensation historically has been based on the achievement of certain diluted adjusted EPS growth over time, investors may find such information useful.

Contracted revenue is a forward-looking operating measure used by management and the board of directors to better understand revenue growth trends within the Company's business segments as it reflects the Company’s current estimate of contractually committed revenue to be generated under existing client contracts in the forward 12-month period. Such information may be useful to investors in their analysis of the Company's revenue growth trends. A reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure cannot be performed without unreasonable effort.
