Performant Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: PFMT), (the "Company"), a leading provider of technology-enabled audit, recovery, and related analytics services in the United States with a focus in the healthcare payment integrity industry, today reported the following financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2023:

First Quarter Financial Highlights

  • Total revenues of $25.7 million, compared to total revenues of $27.1 million in the prior year period.
  • Healthcare revenues of $22.9 million, compared to $23.4 million in the prior year period, a decrease of approximately 2%
  • Net loss of approximately $4.2 million, or $(0.06) per diluted share, compared to net loss of $1.7 million, or $(0.02) per diluted share, in the prior year period.
  • Adjusted net loss was $3.6 million, or $(0.05) per diluted share, compared to adjusted net loss of $1.1 million, or $(0.02) per diluted share, in the prior year period.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $(1.7) million, compared to $0.3 million in the prior year period.

First Quarter 2023 Results

Total revenues in the first quarter were $25.7 million, a decrease from total revenues of $27.1 million in the prior year period. Healthcare revenues in the first quarter of 2023 were $22.9 million, a decrease of approximately 2% from $23.4 million in the prior year period. Within healthcare, claims-based services revenue in the first quarter of 2023 was $10.4 million, while revenues from eligibility-based services in the first quarter was $12.5 million.

“During the first quarter of 2023 we saw continued growth activities as we have seen in prior quarters, highlighted by our successful completion of 11 commercial implementations,” stated Simeon Kohl, CEO of Performant. “We saw lower MSP CRC available demands than we had expected, but we are pleased that overall demands began to return to expected levels by the end of the quarter. Based on the combination of the return to expected demand volumes along with the increased pace of implementations we saw this quarter, we currently anticipate that healthcare revenues for 2023 will remain in line with our previous guidance.”

Revenues from our Customer Care / Outsourced Services in the first quarter were $2.8 million, down $0.8 million compared to the prior year period.

Net loss for the first quarter was $4.2 million, or $(0.06) per share on a diluted basis, compared to a net loss of $1.7 million, or $(0.02) per share on a diluted basis, in the prior year period. Adjusted net loss for the first quarter was $3.6 million, or $(0.05) per share on a diluted basis, compared to adjusted net income of $1.1 million, or $(0.02) per diluted share, in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter was $(1.7) million as compared to $0.3 million in the prior year period.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of approximately $12.4 million.

“Our first quarter 2023 results remain on track for our continued goals of growing our healthcare market operations and we remain pleased with what we are seeing in terms of continued implementations and volume growth,” stated Rohit Ramchandani, Chief Financial Officer of Performant. “We are excited to continue growing the business and have our eye on both our revenue growth targets and the expansion of our EBITDA margins. As such, we are reiterating our guidance for 2023 healthcare revenues to be in the range of $105 million to $110 million and for full year 2023 adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $2 million to $5 million.”

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this press release, to supplement our consolidated financial statements, the Company presents adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share. These measures are not in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) and accordingly reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss) to net income (loss) determined in accordance with US GAAP are included in the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Results” table at the end of this press release. We have included adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss) in this press release because they are key measures used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends and to prepare and approve our annual budget. Accordingly, we believe that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss) provide useful information to investors and analysts in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. Our use of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss) has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under US GAAP. In particular, many of the adjustments to our US GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of items, specifically interest, tax and depreciation and amortization expenses, equity-based compensation expense and certain other non-operating expenses, that are recurring and will be reflected in our financial results for the foreseeable future. In addition, these measures may be calculated differently from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes.
