Eclipsys Announces Second-Quarter 2009 Results
Thursday, August 06, 2009 4:54 PM


(Source: Business Wire)trackingEclipsys Corporation® (NASDAQ: ECLP), The Outcomes Company®, today announced results for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.

GAAP Results

Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 were $129.8 million, compared to revenues of $132.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.

GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2009 was $4.1 million, or $0.07 per diluted common share, compared to GAAP net income of $8.5 million, or $0.15 per share on a diluted basis for the second quarter of 2008.

Non-GAAP Results

Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2009 was $8.9 million, or $0.16 per diluted common share, compared to second quarter 2008 non-GAAP net income of $13.2 million, or $0.24 per diluted share.

Non-GAAP net income excludes stock-based compensation expense, acquisition related amortization, and certain additional items that the company does not consider to be indicative of its underlying business performance. For second quarter 2008, these additional items were costs associated with the relocation of the corporate headquarters from Boca Raton, FL, to Atlanta, GA; a gain resulting from completion of post-closing milestones associated with the sale of the Clinical Practice Model Resource Center business, which was completed in December 2007; and a reduction in general and administrative expenses associated with insurance recoveries from our previously disclosed derivative litigation that was ultimately settled in September 2008.

For second quarter 2009, these additional items were severance costs primarily associated with the resignation of the company's former chief executive officer; and exclusion of tax expense related to discrete tax items in the quarter, primarily deferred tax asset adjustments for Canadian research and development credits, and non-GAAP tax adjustments to reflect the non-GAAP annual effective tax rate. Additionally, we excluded the effect of purchase accounting adjustments in connection with the acquisition of Premise Corporation, which was completed in December 2008.

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is included in the attached tables.

"In reviewing our operations and market potential over the last three months, it is clear that we have a significant opportunity to grow revenues while also increasing profitability," said Philip M. Pead, Eclipsys president and chief executive officer. "The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) is driving increased activity with both clients and prospects. We expect this activity to accelerate as hospitals and physician practices gain a clearer understanding of what constitutes 'meaningful use.' In addition, we have several initiatives underway that will enable us to be more cost efficient, and we expect the positive effects on margins from these initiatives to become apparent in 2010 and beyond."

Change to Projected Non-GAAP Tax Rate and 2009 Financial Guidance

Eclipsys now anticipates that the full year 2009 non-GAAP income tax rate will be in the range of 37 to 38 percent, compared to the 33 to 35 percent tax rate previously communicated on the company's first quarter 2009 conference call. This increase is primarily due to lower estimates of available research and development tax credits and revisions in projected income taxes related to foreign earnings.

Due to this anticipated increase in the company's effective income tax rate for 2009, Eclipsys non-GAAP EPS for 2009 is now expected to range from $0.55 to $0.60.

Non-GAAP Measures

The company has provided net income and earnings per share financial measures on a non-GAAP basis for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, which exclude non-cash stock-based compensation expenses, amortization expense associated with acquisitions, and certain additional items that the company does not consider to be indicative of its underlying business performance, as listed on the attached GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation tables. Because of the significance of the GAAP components excluded, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, any measure derived in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may also be inconsistent with the manner in which similar measures are derived or used by other companies. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provided, when considered in conjunction with comparable GAAP financial measures, facilitate the understanding and evaluation of the company's operating performance and future prospects, as well as comparisons of the company's results with its prior period results that did not include these gains and/or charges, and with results of other companies on a more consistent basis. Internally, management uses non-GAAP net income and earnings for forecasting and to help make management decisions, as an indicator of business performance, and to evaluate management's effectiveness and help determine bonuses for management and others.

The economic substance of omitting non-cash stock-based compensation expense in presenting non-GAAP earnings derives from providing investors with consistent measures of performance both before and after including non-cash stock-based compensation charges. The economic substance of omitting the other items incurred that the company does not consider to be indicative of its underlying business performance derives from the fact that such episodic gains and/or charges make it more difficult to compare operating results of different periods, not all of which include such gains and/or charges. However, the omission of non-cash stock-based compensation expense may mask an economic cost incurred by the company in connection with stock-based compensation, and the omission of the charges related to the company's other non-GAAP adjustments may mask actual and expected future costs associated with such matters. Management compensates for these limitations by using both the GAAP and non-GAAP measures.

The company has provided reconciling tables attached to this release.

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this news release or the investor call referenced herein, including those concerning the company's second quarter 2009 financial results, operational initiatives, future performance expectations, and effects of economic conditions are forward-looking statements and actual results may differ materially from those projected or implied by the forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks and uncertainties. Future performance expectations are predicated upon achievement of various sales and performance targets that may be difficult to meet. Economic conditions are unstable and may cause hospitals and other healthcare providers to curtail HIT system spending. Eclipsys' cost reduction and other initiatives in response to the challenging economic environment may not be effective, and it is difficult to predict what the company may be able to achieve. Eclipsys sales may fall below expectations due to market conditions, competition, and other factors, including client demands for pricing and financing concessions. Costs may be greater than anticipated due to the potential need to increase spending to ensure performance in accordance with commitments to clients, regulatory requirements, and other factors. Software development may take longer and cost more than expected, and incorporation of anticipated features and functionality may be delayed, due to various factors including programming and integration challenges and resource constraints. The market is highly competitive. Implementation and customization of Eclipsys software is complex and time-consuming. Results depend upon a variety of factors and can vary by client. Each client's circumstances are unique and may include unforeseen issues that make it more difficult than anticipated to implement or derive benefit from software, implementation or consulting services. The success and timeliness of the company's services will depend at least in part upon client involvement, which can be difficult to control. Eclipsys is required to meet specified performance standards and regulatory requirements, and clients can terminate contracts, assess penalties or reduce contract scope under certain circumstances. More information about company risks is available in recent Form 10-K and other filings made by Eclipsys from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Special attention is directed to the portions of those documents entitled "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
