ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cotiviti Holdings Inc. (NYSE:COTV) (“Cotiviti”), a leading provider of analytics-driven payment accuracy solutions primarily focused on the healthcare industry, today announced financial results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2016. The Company will host a conference call on February 23, 2017 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss results.
“2016 was a milestone year for Cotiviti and we are extremely pleased with our continued demonstrated ability to deliver significant value to our clients and generate strong financial results,” said Doug Williams, Chief Executive Officer. “Specifically this year, we delivered a record $3.7 billion in savings to our commercial healthcare and retail clients. In turn, we grew our total revenue 15% to $625.2 million and adjusted EBITDA 18% to $239.7 million.”
“The strategic investments we made to enhance our technology and analytics capabilities resulted in strengthened client relationships and an increase in the value we delivered to them,” continued Williams. “We also expanded the number of clients we serve to include 20 of the 25 largest health plans. Our demonstrated ability to expand client engagements through cross-selling and broadening adoption of our solutions, and to add new clients to our roster is a key part of Cotiviti’s success in generating predictable, ongoing revenue growth. Cotiviti is well-positioned to adapt, innovate and succeed. ”
“As a result of our strong EBITDA growth, cash flow generation, and the successful debt refinancing we completed in the third quarter of 2016, we were able to further reduce our net debt leverage ratio to 2.9 times as of December 31, 2016 from 3.3 times as of September 30 creating additional flexibility and strength to our balance sheet,” said Steve Senneff, Chief Financial Officer. “As we continue to grow our top line and expand margins, we expect to continue to de-lever naturally. We plan to deploy excess capital to invest in innovation and new solutions to fuel organic growth, as well as to consider any potential strategic additions to strengthen our portfolio.”
Fourth Quarter 2016 Financial Results
- Total revenue for the quarter increased 11% to $167.9 million, compared to $151.5 million in the fourth quarter a year ago. Revenue growth was driven by a 14% increase to $148.4 million in the Healthcare segment, with the Global Retail and Other segment contributing $19.5 million, a decrease of 8% compared to the same period a year ago. Healthcare revenue was favorably impacted in the quarter by an increase in volume and expanded adoption of our solutions within existing healthcare clients. The decline in retail was primarily driven by a difficult comparison to the year ago quarter in which we experienced the highest, single claim savings amount for a client in the history of the company.
- Net income increased 175% to $25.3 million, or $0.27 per diluted share for the fourth quarter, compared to a $9.2 million in the prior year quarter, or $0.12 per diluted share. The increase was driven by revenue growth and lower interest expense.
- Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter increased 14% to $64.4 million, compared to $56.4 million for the quarter a year ago.
- Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income for the quarter increased 51% to $37.2 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, compared to $24.7 million, or $0.32 per diluted share a year ago.
Full-Year 2016 Financial Results
- Total revenue for the full-year 2016 increased 15% to $625.2 million, compared to $541.3 million for the full-year 2015. Revenue growth was driven by an 18% increase in the Healthcare segment to $552.0 million, with the Global Retail and Other segment contributing $73.1 million, essentially flat from year ended 2015 excluding the foreign exchange impact.
- Net income increased 252% to $48.9 million, or $0.55 per diluted share for the year-ended 2016, compared to a $13.9 million in the prior year, or $0.18 per diluted share.
- Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA increased 18% to $239.7 million, compared to $203.4 million for the same period a year ago.
- Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income increased 34% to $124.3 million, or $1.40 per diluted share, compared to $92.7 million, or $1.19 per diluted share in 2015.
Guidance
Cotiviti is providing full-year 2017 guidance as follows:
- Total revenue in a range of $688 - $700 million
- Adjusted EBITDA in a range of $266 - $272 million, and
- Fully diluted weighted average shares of approximately 97 million.
1Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Net Income per Share are non-GAAP financial measures. For an explanation of these as measures of the Company’s operating performance, refer to the reconciliation in “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, impairment of intangible assets, interest expense, other non-operating (income) expense such as foreign currency translation, income tax expense (benefit), gain on discontinued operations, transaction-related expenses and other, stock-based compensation and loss on extinguishment of debt. The Company defines Adjusted Net Income as net income adjusted for non-cash and other non-recurring items.
Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it provides meaningful supplemental information about our operating performance and facilitates period-to-period comparisons without regard to our financing methods, capital structure or other items that we believe are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Management believes Adjusted Net Income is useful because it provides meaningful supplemental information about our operating performance and facilitates period-to-period comparisons without regard to non-cash expenses and other items that are one-time in nature. In order to assure that all investors have access to similar data the Company has determined that it is appropriate to provide these non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes we are enhancing investors’ understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting them in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are intended as supplemental measures of our performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are not determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, income from operations, net cash provided by operating, investing or financing activities or other financial statement data presented as indicators of financial performance or liquidity, each as presented in accordance with GAAP.

(a) |
Represents an impairment during the quarter ended September 30, 2015 as a result of our rebranding and the related impact to our trademarks. | ||
(b) |
Represents loss on extinguishment of debt that consists primarily of fees paid and write-offs of unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount in connection with the repricing of our long-term debt in 2015, the early repayment of a portion of our long-term debt in 2016 and the refinancing of our long-term debt in 2016. | ||
(c) |
Represents transaction-related expenses that consist primarily of certain expenses associated with the preparation for our Initial Public Offering and other offering costs as well as certain corporate development activity. | ||
(d) |
Represents expense related to stock-based compensation awards granted to certain employees, officers and non-employee directors as long-term incentive compensation. We recognize the related expense for these awards ratably over the vesting period. During the year ended December 31, 2016, performance awards vested resulting in stock compensation expense of $15,898. | ||
(e) |
Represents payment on a $900 note receivable ($559 net of taxes) related to a business that was disposed of in 2012. This note receivable had been reported in the loss on discontinued operations in 2012 upon the sale of that business. Since the date of sale, we had elected to fully reserve the note receivable as the collectability was determined to be uncertain. | ||
(f) |
This line represents the tax impact of the amortization of acquired intangible assets - tax deductible, a portion of impairment of intangible assets, loss on extinguishment of debt, a portion of transaction–related expenses and other, stock-based compensation and gain on discontinued operations. The tax rate assumed was 38% and 40% for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The assumed tax rate decreased during the three months ended December 31, 2016 resulting in a lower tax effect for that period. |
