For fiscal year 2021, the company continues to expect Solutions revenue growth of 4% to 6% and Adjusted EBITDA growth of 6% to 8%.
Third Quarter Fiscal 2020 Guidance - ASC 606
Change Healthcare expects third quarter fiscal 2020 Solutions revenue in the range of $745 million to $760 million, Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $225 million to $235 million, and Adjusted net income in the range of $98 million to $103 million.
While second quarter revenue decreased as a result of ASC 606 implementation, full year revenue is not expected to differ materially between the two accounting standards. Hence, the acceleration of revenue to the first quarter of the fiscal year will reduce the quarterly reported revenue in subsequent fiscal 2020 reported results versus the prior revenue recognition standard. The impact from extended recognition periods for commission expense as a result of the adoption of ASC 606 is expected to be favorable by about $3 million pre-tax per quarter for the remainder of fiscal 2020.
A reconciliation of the forward-looking third-quarter and full-year fiscal 2020 Adjusted EBITDA outlook to net income cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjusting items necessary for such reconciliation that have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, Change Healthcare LLC is unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a material impact on its future financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
