CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Premier, Inc. (NASDAQ: PINC), a leading technology-driven healthcare improvement company, today reported financial results for the fiscal-year 2025 fourth quarter and full year ended June 30, 2025.

Fiscal-year 2025 fourth quarter total net revenue of $262.9 million decreased 12% from the prior-year period; however, increased 1% on a sequential basis from the fiscal-year 2025 third quarter. Net income from continuing operations of $18.0 million, or $0.22 per share, in the fiscal-year 2025 fourth quarter compared to $60.9 million, or $0.57 per share, in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA* of $68.9 million in the fiscal-year 2025 fourth quarter decreased 34% from the prior-year period and decreased 4% on a sequential basis from the fiscal-year 2025 third quarter. Adjusted EPS* of $0.43 in the fiscal-year 2025 fourth quarter decreased 30% from the prior-year period and decreased 2% on a sequential basis from the fiscal-year 2025 third quarter.

"I'm pleased to report that we had a strong finish to the year despite the contract renewal headwinds, which are now mostly behind us. Our overall revenue and profitability for the year exceeded our expectations largely due to better-than-anticipated results in our Supply Chain Services segment," said Michael J. Alkire, Premier's President and CEO. "In addition, we continued to return meaningful capital to stockholders through our quarterly cash dividend and the completion of a $200 million accelerated share repurchase program."

On October 1, 2024, the company announced that it had divested the S2S Global direct sourcing business. As such, and unless stated otherwise, all results presented in the following release reflect those of continuing operations. In addition, as the company's efforts to transfer to partners or wind down certain components of the Contigo Health business remain ongoing, results presented in this release continue to include contributions from that business. However, because of the expected transition and/or wind-down, the company is providing certain financial measures that exclude contributions from this business, and tables are included at the end of this release that reconcile the impact of the Contigo Health business on certain financial measures in the periods presented.

Fiscal-Year 2026 Guidance

Certain statements in this release, including without limitation, those in this section, are forward-looking statements. For additional information regarding the use and limitations of such statements, refer to "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" below.

Based on its current outlook and the realization of the assumptions outlined below, the company expects the following:

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025

(As compared with the three months ended June 30, 2024)

GAAP net revenue of $262.9 million decreased 12% from $300.2 million in the prior-year period. Refer to the "Supply Chain Services" and "Performance Services" sections below for discussion on the factors that impacted net revenue during the quarter.

GAAP net income from continuing operations of $18.0 million decreased by $42.8 million from $60.9 million in the prior-year period primarily due to lower net revenue and an increase in operating expenses related to stock-based compensation expense and current period asset impairments.

GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations of $0.22 decreased by $0.35 from $0.57 in the prior-year period due to the aforementioned drivers affecting GAAP net income from continuing operations, partially offset by a decrease in the diluted weighted average shares outstanding as a result of share repurchases under the company's $1 billion share repurchase authorization announced in February 2024 ("Share Repurchase Authorization"), further discussed below under "Return of Capital to Stockholders".

Adjusted EBITDA of $68.9 million decreased 34% from $104.0 million in the prior-year period. Refer to the "Supply Chain Services" and "Performance Services" sections below for discussion on the factors that impacted the Adjusted EBITDA during the quarter.

Adjusted net income of $35.7 million decreased 45% from $64.5 million in the prior-year period primarily as a result of the same factors that impacted adjusted EBITDA and an increase in interest expense due to higher borrowings on the company's revolving credit facility, partially offset by a decrease in the effective income tax rate in the current-year period. Adjusted EPS of $0.43 decreased 30% from $0.61 in the prior-year period.

Segment Results

(For the fiscal fourth quarter of 2025 as compared with the fiscal fourth quarter of 2024)

Supply Chain Services

Supply Chain Services segment net revenue of $170.0 million decreased 8% from $184.4 million in the prior-year period largely due to lower net administrative fees revenue.

Net administrative fees revenue of $150.1 million decreased 10% from $166.1 million in the prior-year period, primarily driven by the expected increase in the aggregate blended member fee share, partially offset by continued growth in member purchasing as a result of increased utilization of contracts with existing members and from the recruitment and onboarding of new members.

Software licenses, other services and support revenue of $19.9 million increased 9% from $18.3 million in the prior-year period mainly driven by continued growth from new engagements in the supply chain co-management business and further expansion of the company's digital supply chain solutions to providers and suppliers.

Segment adjusted EBITDA of $90.0 million decreased 18% from $109.6 million in the prior-year period largely due to the decrease in net administrative fees revenue and additional investments in the supply chain co-management business to support ongoing growth.

Performance Services

Performance Services segment net revenue of $92.9 million decreased 20% from $115.8 million in the prior-year period primarily due to lower revenue in the consulting business as well as the timing of license revenue.

Segment adjusted EBITDA of $17.2 million decreased 48% from $32.8 million in the prior-year period mainly due to the decrease in revenue partially offset by a decrease in employee-related costs.

Liquidity and Cash Flows

As of June 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents were $83.7 million compared with $125.1 million as of June 30, 2024, and the company's five-year, $1.0 billion revolving credit facility ("Credit Facility") had an outstanding balance of $280.0 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations ("operating cash flow") for the year ended June 30, 2025 of $417.8 million increased from $278.1 million in the prior year mainly due to cash taxes paid in the prior year on proceeds received from the sale the company's non-healthcare GPO operations, cash received in the current year from a derivative lawsuit settlement of $57.0 million and a $17.6 million cash distribution received in the current year from a minority investment.

Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended June 30, 2025 of $102.1 million increased from $68.5 million in the prior year due to the business acquisition of IllumiCare, Inc. partially offset by net cash received from the sale of certain assets and liabilities including Contigo Health鈥檚 wrap network.

Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended June 30, 2025 of $340.7 million increased from $192.7 million in the prior year due to the timing of net cash proceeds received from the sale of the company's non-healthcare GPO operations largely received in the prior year. The change was offset by the current-year net borrowings and the prior-year repayment under the company's Credit Facility, as well as a decrease in cash dividends paid in the current year as a result of share repurchases.

Non-GAAP free cash flow for the year ended June 30, 2025 was $180.5 million compared with $228.0 million in the prior year. In addition to some of the factors that affected operating cash flow, the decrease was primarily due to the timing of cash payments to OMNIA related to our non-healthcare channel partnership agreement. Refer to "Premier's Use and Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures" below and the supplemental financial information at the end of this release for information on the company's use of this and other non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation of reported GAAP results to non-GAAP results.

Return of Capital to Stockholders

In February 2024, the company announced that its Board of Directors ("Board") approved the Share Repurchase Authorization. Pursuant to the Share Repurchase Authorization, which expired on June 30, 2025, the company has repurchased an aggregate of $800.0 million of its Common Stock, which includes the August 2025 completion of the $200.0 million accelerated share repurchase program announced in February 2025 (the "2025 ASR"). Additional details will be provided in Premier鈥檚 Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025, expected to be filed with the SEC shortly after the issuance of this release.

During fiscal-year 2025, the company paid aggregate dividends of $77.4 million to holders of its Common Stock. On August 17, 2025, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.21 per share, payable on September 15, 2025 to stockholders of record on September 1, 2025.

Premier鈥檚 Use and Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures

Premier uses EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, segment adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, and free cash flow. These are non-GAAP financial measures that are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. We include these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate a comparison of the company鈥檚 operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period and to provide measures that, when viewed in combination with its results prepared in accordance with GAAP, we believe allow for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the company鈥檚 business than GAAP measures alone.

Management believes EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and segment adjusted EBITDA assist the company鈥檚 board of directors, management and investors in comparing the company鈥檚 operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period by removing the impact of the company鈥檚 earnings elements attributable to the company's asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization), certain items outside the control of management, e.g., taxes, other non-cash items (such as impairment of intangible assets, purchase accounting adjustments and stock-based compensation), non-recurring items (such as strategic initiative and restructuring-related expenses) and income and expense that have been classified as discontinued operations from operating results.

Management believes adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share assist the company's board of directors, management and investors in comparing our net income and earnings per share on a consistent basis from period to period because these measures remove non-cash items (such as impairment of intangible assets, purchase accounting adjustments and stock-based compensation) and non-recurring items (such as strategic initiative and restructuring-related expenses) and eliminate the variability of non-controlling interest and equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates.

Management believes free cash flow is an important measure because it represents the cash that the company generates after payments to certain former limited partners that elected to execute a Unit Exchange and Tax Receivable Agreement (鈥淯nit Exchange Agreement") in connection with our August 2020 restructuring, capital investment to maintain existing products and services and ongoing business operations, as well as development of new and upgraded products and services to support future growth and cash payments to OMNIA for the sale of future revenues and tax payments on proceeds received from the sale of future revenues. Free cash flow is important because it enables the company to seek enhancement of stockholder value through acquisitions, partnerships, joint ventures, investments in related or complementary businesses and/or debt reduction.

Also, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are supplemental financial measures used by the company and by external users of our financial statements and are considered to be indicators of the operational strength and performance of our business. Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow measures allow us to assess our performance without regard to financing methods and capital structure and without the impact of other matters that we do not consider indicative of the operating performance of our business. More specifically, segment adjusted EBITDA is the primary earnings measure we use to evaluate the performance of our business segments.

Non-recurring items are income or expenses and other items that have not been earned or incurred within the prior two years and are not expected to recur within the next two years. Such items include acquisition- and disposition-related expenses, strategic initiative- and restructuring-related expenses, loss on disposal of long-lived assets, income and expense that has been classified as discontinued operations and other reconciling items.

Non-cash items include stock-based compensation expense and asset impairments.

Non-operating items include gains or losses on the disposal of assets, interest and investment income or expense, equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates and operating income from revenues sold to OMNIA in connection with the sale of non-healthcare GPO member contracts, less royalty payments retained.

EBITDA is defined as net income before income or loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, interest and investment income or expense, net, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization and amortization of purchased intangible assets.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before merger and acquisition-related expenses and non-recurring, non-cash or non-operating items.

Segment adjusted EBITDA is defined as the segment鈥檚 net revenue less cost of revenue and operating expenses directly attributable to the segment excluding depreciation and amortization, amortization of purchased intangible assets, merger and acquisition-related expenses and non-recurring or non-cash items. Operating expenses directly attributable to the segment include expenses associated with sales and marketing, general and administrative, and product development activities specific to the operation of each segment. General and administrative corporate expenses that are not specific to a particular segment are not included in the calculation of segment adjusted EBITDA. Segment adjusted EBITDA also excludes any income and expense that has been classified as discontinued operations and operating income from revenues sold to OMNIA in connection with the sale of non-healthcare GPO member contracts, less royalty payments retained.

Adjusted net income is defined as net income attributable to Premier (i) excluding income or loss from discontinued operations, net, (ii) excluding income tax expense, (iii) excluding the effect of non-recurring or non-cash items, including certain strategic initiative- and restructuring-related expenses, (iv) reflecting an adjustment for income tax expense on Non-GAAP net income before income taxes at our estimated annual effective income tax rate, adjusted for unusual or infrequent items, (v) excluding the equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates and (vi) excluding operating income from revenues sold to OMNIA in connection with the sale of non-healthcare GPO member contracts, less royalty fees retained, imputed interest expense and associated income tax expense.

Adjusted earnings per share is adjusted net income divided by diluted weighted average shares.

Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations less (i) early termination payments to certain former limited partners that elected to execute a Unit Exchange Agreement in connection with our August 2020 restructuring, (ii) purchases of property and equipment and (iii) cash payments to OMNIA for the sale of future revenues and tax payments on proceeds received from the sale of future revenues. Free cash flow does not represent discretionary cash available for spending as it excludes certain contractual obligations such as debt repayments.

To properly and prudently evaluate our business, readers are urged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures, as well as the other financial tables, included at the end of this release. Readers should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the company鈥檚 business. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures used in this release are susceptible to varying calculations and may differ from, and may therefore not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The Company has revised the definitions for adjusted EBITDA, segment adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and free cash flow from the definitions reported in the 2024 Annual Report. Adjusted EBITDA and segment adjusted EBITDA definitions were revised to exclude operating income from revenues sold to OMNIA in connection with the sale of non-healthcare GPO member contracts, less royalty fees retained. The adjusted net income definition was revised to exclude operating income from revenues sold to OMNIA in connection with the sale of non-healthcare GPO member contracts, less royalty fees retained, imputed interest expense and associated income tax expense. Free cash flow was revised to exclude the cash payments to OMNIA for the sale of future revenues and tax payments on proceeds received from the sale of future revenues. For comparability purposes, prior year non-GAAP financial measures are presented based on the current definitions in the above section.

In addition to the foregoing, this release and the reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures included at the end of this release include the presentation of additional fiscal-year 2025 non-GAAP financial measures including net revenue excluding Contigo Health, adjusted EBITDA excluding Contigo Health and adjusted earnings per share excluding Contigo Health. As the company continues to own and operate Contigo Health's remaining businesses, GAAP financial results presented in this release include contributions from these remaining businesses. The company expects that these remaining businesses will be substantially, if not entirely, transitioned to partners or wound down by December 31, 2025. Given the time span that has been required to effectuate the disposition and wind-down of Contigo Health, the company currently does not expect that it will qualify to treat this business as a discontinued operation in fiscal-year 2025. However, because of the expected transition and/or wind-down, guidance presented in this release excludes financial contributions from these remaining businesses. Accordingly, we believe that providing supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that align with our fiscal-year 2025 guidance allow for a better understanding of that guidance.

Further information on Premier鈥檚 use of non-GAAP financial measures is available in the 鈥淥ur Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures鈥� section of Premier鈥檚 Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025, expected to be filed with the SEC shortly after this release, and which will also be made available on Premier's website at .

Premier's Use of Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Measures

The company does not meaningfully reconcile guidance for non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP adjusted net income and non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share to net income attributable to stockholders or earnings per share attributable to stockholders (and accordingly does not meaningfully reconcile free cash flow guidance, which is based on adjusted EBITDA) because the company cannot provide guidance for the more significant reconciling items between net income attributable to stockholders and each of these metrics without unreasonable effort. This is due to the fact that future period non-GAAP guidance includes adjustments for items not indicative of our core operations, which may include, without limitation, items included in the supplemental financial information for reconciliation of reported GAAP results to non-GAAP results. Such items include, but are not limited to, strategic and acquisition related expenses for professional fees; mark to market adjustments for put options and contingent liabilities; gains and losses on stock-based performance shares; adjustments to its income tax provision (such as valuation allowance adjustments and settlements of income tax claims); items related to corporate and facility restructurings; and certain other items the company believes to be non-indicative of its ongoing operations. Such adjustments may be affected by changes in ongoing assumptions, judgements, as well as non-recurring, unusual or unanticipated charges, expenses or gains/losses or other items that may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations. The exact amount of these adjustments is not currently determinable but may be significant.

As noted above, as a result of the company's expectation that the remaining businesses of Contigo Health will be substantially, if not entirely, transitioned to partners or wound down by December 31, 2025, the forward-looking guidance presented in this release (including Total Net Revenue Excluding Contigo Health, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS and free cash flow), excludes the financial contributions from these remaining businesses, in addition to any applicable adjustments for non-GAAP financial measures described above under "Premier's Use and Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures." With respect to these adjustments for Contigo Health, the company does not meaningfully reconcile guidance to GAAP measures because Contigo Health is expected to be transitioned to partners or wound down.
