Excluding the revenue contribution from Sg2 (acquired on September 22, 2014), total net revenue growth was 2.3% on a year-over-year basis. Net revenue in the SCM segment increased 10.8% to $117.2 million from $105.8 million for the third quarter of 2014 due to the contribution from Sg2 and growth in group purchasing net administrative fees. Excluding Sg2, third quarter SCM net revenue increased 1.1% on a year-over-year basis. Net revenue in the RCM segment increased 4.0% to $72.7 million from $69.9 million for the third quarter of 2014 as technology-related revenue (66.1% of RCM segment revenue) increased 1.8% while services-related revenue grew 8.7%.

Total non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $58.8 million, or 30.9% of total net revenue, for the third quarter of 2015, a 1.2% decrease from total non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $59.5 million, or 33.8% of total net revenue, for the third quarter of 2014.
Net (Loss) Income, (Loss) Earnings Per Share (EPS) and Non-GAAP Adjusted EPS
Net loss for the third quarter of 2015 was $(2.2) million, or a loss of $(0.04) per share, compared with net income of $7.7 million, or $0.13 per share, for the third quarter of 2014. The net loss in the third quarter of 2015 was due to $5.0 million of restructuring charges related to the company's expense reduction program announced in late September 2015 and $10.3 million of non-cash capitalized software impairments related to certain Revenue Cycle Management products, which is described in more detail below.
Non-GAAP adjusted EPS (defined as EPS excluding non-cash acquisition-related intangible amortization and depreciation, non-cash share-based compensation, non-cash asset impairment, certain restructuring, acquisition and integration-related expenses and non-recurring items on a tax-adjusted basis) was $0.32 per share for the third quarter of 2015, compared with non-GAAP adjusted EPS of $0.34 per share for the third quarter of 2014.
"Since February, our executive leadership team has been developing and implementing a business transformation and value creation plan. We have been making substantial progress, with our third quarter 2015 financial results coming in near or above the high end of our previous guidance for the quarter on all measures. This performance is a testament to our employees' commitment, dedication and hard work to executing our plan," said R. Halsey Wise, chairman and chief executive officer, MedAssets.

Excluding the contribution from Sg2, full-year total net revenue growth was 2.1% when compared with the first nine months of 2014.

Net revenue in the RCM segment increased 3.8% to $209.4 million from $201.7 million for the first nine months of 2014 as technology-related revenue (67.6% of RCM segment revenue) increased 1.9% while services-related revenue increased 8.1%.
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA
For the first nine months of 2015, total non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $175.3 million, or 31.0% of total net revenue, a 2.8% increase from total non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $170.5 million, or 32.7% of total net revenue, for the same period in 2014.
Net Income and Non-GAAP Adjusted EPS
Net income for the first nine months of 2015 was $7.4 million, or $0.12 per share, compared with net income of $22.0 million, or $0.36 per share, for the first nine months of 2014. The year-over-year decrease was due to restructuring charges related to an expense reduction program and non-cash capitalized software impairments described in more detail below. Non-GAAP adjusted EPS was $0.94 per share for the first nine months of 2015, compared with $0.96 per share for the first nine months of 2014.
Cash Flow and Capital Resources
Cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of 2015 was $143.6 million, up 49.5% from $96.1 million for the first nine months of 2014. Non-GAAP free cash flow (defined as cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, equipment and software and capitalized software development costs) increased 92.7% to $107.3 million from $55.7 million for the first nine months of 2014 due to improvements in working capital during 2015.
During the quarter, the company repurchased a total of 792,148 shares of common stock for $16.4 million or an average price of $20.72 per share. Year-to-date, the company repurchased 1,207,384 shares of common stock for $25.0 million or an average price of $20.71 per share. The company also reduced its bank debt by $43.2 million in the quarter, and its balance sheet at September 30, 2015 included $789.1 million in total bank and bond debt, net of cash and cash equivalents. Total net debt equates to a leverage ratio of approximately 3.3 times non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve-month period.
Non-GAAP Contracted Revenue
Non-GAAP contracted revenue is the company's estimate of contractually committed revenue to be generated under existing customer contracts in the forward 12-month period. At September 30, 2015, the company's non-GAAP contracted revenue estimate was $679.6 million (SCM segment - $419.0 million; RCM segment - $260.6 million), a year-over-year increase of 2.8%.
Expense Reduction Program and Impairment Charge
As previously disclosed, the company implemented an expense reduction program on September 28, 2015, to align its cost structure with expected future net revenue, while maintaining the highest level of customer service, support and satisfaction. The cost reduction program includes a reduction of approximately 5% of the company's workforce by year-end 2015, the elimination of certain open full-time positions, and the reduction of other non-employee expenses including professional services and vendor fees in human resource, information technology, legal, and marketing service areas. The company incurred pre-tax restructuring charges of $5.0 million in the third quarter ended September 30, 2015 primarily related to one-time termination benefits. The company also announced it will eliminate certain Revenue Cycle Management products that resulted in an aggregate asset impairment charge of $10.3 million in the third quarter of 2015.
Financial Guidance and Conference Call
Given today's announcement regarding the company's agreement to be acquired by Pamplona Capital Management, MedAssets no longer plans to provide financial guidance and will not host a conference call to discuss financial results.

(b) The Company used a tax rate of 40.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 to calculate the tax effect of each adjustment since it believes 40.0% will be the Company's normalized long-term tax rate. |
(c) Given the Company's net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2015, GAAP diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share. However, the Company uses weighted average shares, diluted in its calculation of non-GAAP adjusted EPS. |

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: EBITDA; adjusted EBITDA; adjusted EBITDA margin; adjusted net income; diluted adjusted EPS; free cash flow; 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. |
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, impairments, and certain restructuring, acquisition and integration-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. |
The Company defines adjusted net income as earnings excluding non-cash acquisition-related intangible amortization and non-recurring expense items on a tax-adjusted basis, non-cash tax-adjusted shared-based compensation expense, certain restructuring, acquisition and integration-related expenses on a tax-adjusted basis, purchase accounting adjustments on a tax-adjusted basis, and diluted adjusted EPS as earnings per share excluding non-cash acquisition-related intangible amortization, depreciation and non-recurring expense items on a tax-adjusted basis, non-cash tax-adjusted shared-based compensation expense and certain restructuring, 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 our operations, and by rewarding organic growth and accretive business transactions. As a significant portion of senior management's incentive based compensation has historically been based on the achievement of certain diluted adjusted EPS growth over time, investors may find such information useful. |
The Company defines free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, equipment and software and capitalized software development costs. Management believes free cash flow is an important measure because it represents the cash that the Company is able to generate after spending capital on infrastructure to maintain its business and investing in new and upgraded products and services to support future growth. Free cash flow is important because it allows the Company to pursue opportunities that are intended to enhance shareholder value, which could include debt reduction, share repurchases, partnerships, alliances and acquisitions, and/or dividend payments. The Company's definition of free cash flow does not consider non-discretionary cash payments, such as debt. |
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 customer 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. |
