MURRAY, Utah, Nov. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- R1 RCM Inc. (NASDAQ:RCM), a leading provider of technology-driven solutions that transform the patient experience and financial performance of healthcare providers, today announced results for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Third Quarter 2022 Results:

Revenue of $496.0 million, up $116.3 million or 30.6% compared to the same period last year.
GAAP net loss of $29.5 million, compared to net income of $17.0 million in the same period last year. GAAP net loss was negatively impacted by a $9.5 million increase in allowance for credit losses.
Adjusted EBITDA of $124.0 million, up $34.7 million or 38.9% compared to the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA was negatively impacted by a $9.5 million increase in allowance for credit losses.

"While we made progress on our strategic priorities in the third quarter, including integrating Cloudmed, advancing our technology roadmap, and onboarding new customers, our results fell short of our expectations due to operational and customer-specific factors," said Joe Flanagan, chief executive officer of R1. "We are actively working to address these issues and remain very optimistic about our competitive position and long-term growth trajectory."

"Demand for our solutions remains robust and we are focused on successfully onboarding the new customers we added earlier this year," added Rachel Wilson, chief financial officer and treasurer. "Cloudmed performed strongly in the quarter, and while we saw pressure on our incentive fees, we remain confident that the factors affecting performance should return to normal in the coming quarters."

2022 Outlook

For 2022, R1 now expects to generate:

Revenue of between $1,790 million and $1,800 million
GAAP operating loss of $8 million to $13 million
Adjusted EBITDA of $420 million to $425 million

Leadership Succession

In a separate press release issued today, R1 RCM also announced that its Board of Directors has appointed Lee Rivas to succeed Joseph Flanagan as Chief Executive Officer, effective January 1, 2023, and Mr. Rivas will join the Company's Board. John Sparby, who currently serves as Chief Operating Officer, has been named President, effective January 1, 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In order to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by R1's management team in financial and operational decision making, the Company supplements its GAAP consolidated financial statements with certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP cost of services, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses, and net debt. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as GAAP net income before net interest income/expense, income tax provision/benefit, depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, CoyCo 2, L.P. ("Coyco 2") share-based compensation expense, and certain other items, including business acquisition costs, integration costs, strategic initiatives, and the global business services center expansion project in the Philippines. Non-GAAP cost of services is defined as GAAP cost of services less share-based compensation expense, CoyCo 2 share-based compensation expense, and depreciation and amortization expense attributed to cost of services. Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses is defined as GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses less share-based compensation expense, CoyCo 2 share-based compensation expense, and depreciation and amortization expense attributed to selling, general and administrative expenses. Net debt is defined as debt less cash and cash equivalents, inclusive of restricted cash. Adjusted EBITDA guidance is reconciled to operating income guidance, the most closely comparable available GAAP measure.

Our board of directors and management team use adjusted EBITDA as (i) one of the primary methods for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations and (ii) a performance evaluation metric in determining achievement of certain executive incentive compensation programs, as well as for incentive compensation programs for employees. Non-GAAP cost of services and non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses are used to calculate adjusted EBITDA. Net debt is used as a supplemental measure of our liquidity.

Tables 4 through 9 present a reconciliation of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA. Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
