RALEIGH, N.C., October 30, 2019 -- PRA Health Sciences, Inc. (“PRA,” "we," "us" or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: PRAH) today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.
"Our third quarter financial results produced solid revenue growth and double digit earnings growth,” said Colin Shannon, PRA’s Chief Executive Officer. “During the quarter we finalized a $500.0 million stock repurchase plan and repurchased and retired $300.0 million of common stock in connection with KKR’s clean-up trade. We are excited for our next chapter and I would like to thank KKR for their partnership.

Net new business for our Clinical Research segment for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $669.4 million, representing a net book-to-bill ratio of 1.22 for the period. This net new business contributed to an ending backlog of $4.6 billion at September 30, 2019.
For the three months ended September 30, 2019, revenue was $780.7 million, which represents growth of 8.8%, or $63.1 million, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018 at actual foreign exchange rates. On a constant currency basis, revenue grew $69.3 million, an increase of 9.7% compared to the third quarter of 2018.

Direct costs, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, were $389.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $371.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 at actual foreign exchange rates. On a constant currency basis, direct costs increased $24.6 million compared to the third quarter of 2018. The increase in direct costs continues to be driven by increased labor costs in our Clinical Research segment and increased data costs in our Data Solutions segment. Direct costs were 49.9% of revenue during the third quarter of 2019 compared to 51.8% of revenue during the third quarter of 2018.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $95.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $92.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Selling,
general and administrative costs were 12.2% of revenue during the third quarter of 2019 compared to 12.9% of revenue during the third quarter of 2018.
GAAP net income was $83.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, or $1.25 per share on a diluted basis, compared to GAAP net income of $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, or $0.02 per share on a diluted basis.
Adjusted net income was $87.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, representing growth of 16.6% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018. Adjusted net income per diluted share was $1.32 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, representing growth of 16.8% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018.
EBITDA was $128.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, representing an increase of 99.6% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018. Adjusted EBITDA was $137.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, representing growth of 14.0% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018.
A reconciliation of our non-GAAP measures, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share and our 2019 guidance, to the corresponding GAAP measures is included in this press release.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Financial Highlights
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, revenue was $2,266.0 million, which represents growth of 5.8%, or $123.7 million, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018 at actual foreign exchange rates. On a constant currency basis, revenue grew $150.7 million, representing growth of 7.0% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Reported GAAP income from operations was $262.5 million, reported GAAP net income was $168.2 million and reported GAAP net income per diluted share was $2.53 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Adjusted Net Income was $242.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an improvement of 22.9% compared to the same period in 2018. Adjusted Net Income per diluted share was $3.64 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, up 22.1% compared to the same period in 2018.
Guidance
The Company is maintaining its 2019 revenue guidance between $3.02 billion and $3.10 billion, representing as reported growth of 5% to 8% and constant currency growth of 6% to 8%. We are updating our GAAP net income per diluted share to between $3.58 and $3.64 and Adjusted Net Income per diluted share to between $5.07 and $5.12, representing growth of 18% to 20%.
We continue to estimate our annual effective income tax rate at approximately 24%. Our effective tax rate may differ from this estimate, due to, among other things, changes to estimates of the geographic allocation of our pre-tax income as well as changes in guidance from regulatory agencies related to interpretation, analysis and guidance of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
Our guidance assumes a EURO rate of 1.15 and a GBP rate of 1.30. All other foreign currency exchange rates are as of September 30, 2019.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share, each of which are financial measures not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Management believes that these measures provide useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding our operating results as they exclude certain items whose fluctuation from period- to- period do not necessarily correspond to changes in the operating results of our business. As a result, management and our board of directors regularly use EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as a tool in evaluating our operating and financial performance and in establishing discretionary annual bonuses. Adjusted EBITDA is also the basis for covenant compliance EBITDA, which is used in certain covenants in the credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities. In addition, management believes that EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (including adjusted net income per share on a diluted basis) facilitate comparisons of our operating results with those of other companies by backing out of GAAP net income items relating to variations in capital structures (affecting interest expense), taxation, and the age and book depreciation of facilities and equipment (affecting relative depreciation expense), which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance. We believe that EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (including adjusted net income per share on a diluted basis) are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of issuers, many of which also present EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (including adjusted net income per share on a diluted basis) when reporting their results in an effort to facilitate an understanding of their operating results.
These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider these measures in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Additionally, because not all companies use identical calculations, these presentations of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (including adjusted net income per share on a diluted basis) may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (including adjusted net income per share on a diluted basis) represent EBITDA and net income (including diluted net income per share), respectively, adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense, loss (gain) on disposal of fixed assets, loss on modification or extinguishment of debt, foreign currency losses (gains), other non-operating expense (income), equity in (gains) losses of unconsolidated joint ventures, transaction-related costs, acquisition-related costs, severance costs and restructuring charges, prior year foreign research and development credits, lease termination expense, non-cash rent adjustment, adjustment to reflect amounts attributable to noncontrolling interest and other charges. Adjusted net income is also adjusted to exclude amortization of intangible assets, amortization of
terminated interest rate swaps, and amortization of deferred financing costs. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities as measures of our liquidity. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider such measures either in isolation or as substitutes for analyzing our results as reported under GAAP.
Some of these limitations are:
| |
| • | EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; |
| |
| • | EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt; |
| |
| • | EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes; |
| |
| • | EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA do not reflect historical capital expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; |
| |
| • | although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and |
| |
| • | other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. |
Because of these limitations, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as discretionary cash available to us to reinvest in the growth of our business or as a measure of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations.
Constant Currency
Constant currency comparisons are based on translating local currency amounts in the current year period at actual foreign exchange rates for the prior year. The Company routinely evaluates its financial performance on a constant currency basis in order to facilitate period-to-period comparisons without regard to the impact of changing foreign currency exchange rates.

|
| |
| (a) | Stock-based compensation expense represents the amount of recurring non-cash expense related to the Company’s equity compensation programs. |
| |
| (b) | Loss on disposal of fixed assets represents the costs incurred in connection with the sale or disposition of fixed assets, primarily IT equipment and furniture and fixtures. We exclude these losses from adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income because they result from investing decisions rather than from decisions made related to our ongoing operations. |
| |
| (c) | Foreign currency gains (losses), net primarily relates to gains or losses that arise in connection with the revaluation of short-term inter-company balances between our domestic and international subsidiaries. In addition, this amount includes gains or losses from foreign currency transactions, such as those resulting from the settlement of third-party accounts receivable and payables denominated in a currency other than the local currency of the entity making the payment. We exclude these gains and losses from adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income because they result from financing decisions rather than from decisions made related to our ongoing operations and because fluctuations from period- to- period do not necessarily correspond to changes in our operating results. |
| |
| (d) | Other non-operating expense, net represents income and expense that are non-operating and whose fluctuations from period- to- period do not necessarily correspond to changes in our operating results. |
| |
| (e) | Transaction-related costs include fees associated with our secondary offerings, stock-based compensation expense related to the transfer restrictions on vested options, the amendment to our accounts receivable financing agreement, costs associated with acquisition related earn-out liabilities, and expenses associated with our acquisitions. |
| |
| (f) | Acquisition-related costs primarily relate to costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of Symphony Health. Acquisition-related costs also include integration costs which primarily consist of professional fees, rebranding costs, the elimination of redundant facilities and any other costs incurred directly related to the integration of our acquisitions. |
| |
| (g) | Lease termination expense represents charges incurred in connection with the termination of leases at locations that are no longer being used by the Company. |
| |
| (h) | Severance and restructuring charges represent amounts incurred in connection with the elimination of redundant positions within the organization. |
| |
| (i) | We have escalating leases that require the amortization of rent expense on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease. The non-cash rent adjustment represents the difference between rent expense recorded in the consolidated statement of operations and the amount of cash actually paid. |
| |
| (j) | Loss on modification or extinguishment of debt relates to costs incurred in connection with changes to our long-term debt. We exclude these losses from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income because they result from financing decisions rather than from decisions made related to our ongoing operations. |
| |
| (k) | Represents charges incurred that are not considered part of our core operating results. |
| |
| (l) | Represents the tax effect of adjusted pre-tax income at our estimated effective tax rate. |
