“2024 was a year of organization advancement and business growth driven by our commercial clients. Healthcare revenue experienced double-digit growth, led by an impressive 18% increase from our commercial clients. Since transitioning to a healthcare pure-play in 2021, we have successfully expanded commercial clients from 28% to over 57% of our healthcare revenue. This success is fueled by record implementations, with over 100 commercial implementations since 2022, including 42 in 2024. Looking ahead to 2025, we have several key milestones on the horizon, including the launch of our first State Medicaid contract with the New York State RAC and the ramp-up of numerous commercial implementations at various stages of scale. Our investments in technology innovation, both past and ongoing, have fueled our growth and we believe will continue to drive adjusted EBITDA expansion as we enter the next phase of our business transformation,” commented Simeon Kohl, Chief Executive Officer.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of approximately $9.3 million.
Business Commentary
“Despite macro factors impacting the broader payment integrity space, Performant delivered results within the originally guided range in 2024,” said Rohit Ramchandani, Chief Financial Officer. “Looking ahead to 2025, our focus is on delivering margin improvement through technology advancements and the natural scale of our business. We are introducing full-year 2025 revenue guidance to be in the range of $131M to $135M and full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance to be in the range of $8M to $9M, which nearly doubles our adjusted EBITDA year over year at the midpoint of guidance. The investments we have made and the results we achieved, both financial and organizational, continue to support our goal of achieving a 20% adjusted EBITDA margin target with the continued success of Project Turing and as implementations and revenue scale.”
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.
Information reconciling forward-looking fiscal year 2025 adjusted EBITDA guidance to its most directly comparable US GAAP financial measure, net income (loss), is unavailable to the Company without unreasonable effort due to, among other things, certain items required for such reconciliations being outside of our control and/or not being able to be reasonably predicted. Preparation of such reconciliations would require a forward-looking balance sheet, statement of income and statement of cash flow, prepared in accordance with US GAAP, and such forward-looking financial statements are unavailable to the Company without unreasonable effort. The Company provides a range for its adjusted EBITDA forecast that it believes will be achieved; however, the Company cannot provide any assurance that it can predict all of the components of the adjusted EBITDA calculation. The Company provides a forecast for adjusted EBITDA because it believes that adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with our results calculated in accordance with US GAAP, provides useful information for the reasons noted above. However, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under US GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or cash flow from operating activities or as an indicator of operating performance or liquidity.
