Quality Systems, Inc. Reports Fiscal 2018 Fourth Quarter and Year-End Results
Quality Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: QSII), known to its clients as NextGen (News - Alert)
Healthcare, announced today its fiscal 2018 fourth quarter and year end
March 31, 2018 operating results.
"We closed fiscal 2018 with a strong quarter delivering at or above the
commitments we made to our investors. We're seeing great growth in our
RCM pipeline, as well as continuing success with our NextGen Population
Health Analytics Suite and NextGen Mobile Platform, formerly Eagle Dream
and Entrada. We executed on our commitment to drive bookings growth in
the back half of the fiscal year, with 9% actual and 5.5% pro forma year
over year growth in the fourth quarter," commented Rusty Frantz,
president and chief executive officer of NextGen Healthcare.
Mr. Frantz continued, "The successes we've seen over the course of
fiscal 2018, particularly the sales performance during the fourth
quarter, maintains our confidence in our long-term targets."
Fiscal 2018 Fourth Quarter and Year-End Highlights
Notable for the results in the fourth quarter, subsequent to the
quarter-end, was an agreement-in-principle to settle the Federal
Securities Class action litigation. As a result, we recorded a charge of
$19 million, which is included in our quarterly GAAP results.
Revenues for the fiscal 2018 fourth quarter of $135.8 million compared
to $132.4 million a year-ago. On a GAAP basis, net loss for the 2018
fourth quarter was $11.0 million, compared with net income of $4.4
million in the 2017 fourth quarter. Non-GAAP net income for the 2018
fourth quarter was $10.4 million compared with non-GAAP net income
of $12.7 million in the 2017 fourth quarter.
On a GAAP basis, fully diluted loss per share was $0.17 in the fiscal
2018 fourth quarter compared with earnings per share of $0.07 for the
same period a year ago. On a non-GAAP basis, fully diluted earnings per
share for the fiscal 2018 fourth quarter was $0.16 versus $0.21 reported
in the fourth quarter a year ago.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, revenues reached $531.0
million, compared with $509.6 million for the 2017 fiscal year. GAAP net
income for fiscal 2018 was $2.4 million, versus $18.2 million reported
in fiscal 2017. Non-GAAP net income for fiscal year 2018 was $44.5
million compared to non-GAAP net income for fiscal year 2017 of $50.8
million.
On a GAAP basis, fully diluted earnings per share for the 2018 fiscal
year was $0.04, compared with $0.29 reported in the 2017 fiscal year. On
a non-GAAP basis, fully diluted earnings per share for fiscal year 2018
was $0.70 versus $0.82 reported in the prior year.
Fiscal 2019 Financial Outlook
The company is providing initial outlook for fiscal 2019 and expects:
-
Revenue of between $532 million and $548 million
-
Non-GAAP EPS of between $0.70 and $0.78

SAFE HARBOR PROVISIONS FOR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This news release may contain forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the federal securities laws, including but not limited to,
statements regarding future events, developments in the healthcare
sector and regulatory framework, the Company's future performance, as
well as management's expectations, beliefs, intentions, plans, estimates
or projections relating to the future (including, without limitation,
statements concerning revenue, net income, and earnings per share).
Risks and uncertainties exist that may cause the results to differ
materially from those set forth in these forward-looking statements.
Factors that could cause the anticipated results to differ from those
described in the forward-looking statements and additional risks and
uncertainties are set forth in Part I, Item A of our most recent Annual
Report on Form 10-K and subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form
10-Q, including but not limited to: the volume and timing of systems
sales and installations; length of sales cycles and the installation
process; the possibility that products will not achieve or sustain
market acceptance; seasonal patterns of sales and customer buying
behavior; impact of incentive payments under The American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act on sales and the ability of the Company to meet
continued certification requirements; uncertainties related to the
future impact of U.S. tax reform; the impact of governmental and
regulatory agency investigations; the development by competitors of new
or superior technologies; the timing, cost and success or failure of new
product and service introductions, development and product upgrade
releases; undetected errors or bugs in software; product liability;
changing economic, political or regulatory influences in the health-care
industry; changes in product-pricing policies; availability of
third-party products and components; competitive pressures including
product offerings, pricing and promotional activities; the Company's
ability or inability to attract and retain qualified personnel; possible
regulation of the Company's software by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration; changes of accounting estimates and assumptions used to
prepare the prior periods' financial statements; disruptions caused by
acquisitions of companies, products, or technologies; and general
economic conditions. A significant portion of the Company's quarterly
sales of software product licenses and computer hardware is concluded in
the last month of a fiscal quarter, generally with a concentration of
such revenues earned in the final ten business days of that month. Due
to these and other factors, the Company's revenues and operating results
are very difficult to forecast. A major portion of the Company's costs
and expenses, such as personnel and facilities, are of a fixed nature
and, accordingly, a shortfall or decline in quarterly and/or annual
revenues typically results in lower profitability or losses. As a
result, comparison of the Company's period-to-period financial
performance is not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon
as an indicator of future performance. These forward-looking statements
speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation
to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result
of new information, future events or otherwise.
USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This news release contains certain non-GAAP (Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles) financial measures, which are provided only as
supplemental information. Investors should consider these non-GAAP
financial measures only in conjunction with the comparable GAAP
financial measures. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with
or a substitute for U.S. GAAP. Pursuant to the requirements of
Regulation G, the Company has provided a reconciliation of non-GAAP
financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measure in
the accompanying financial tables. Other companies may calculate
non-GAAP measures differently than Quality Systems, which limits
comparability between companies. The Company believes that its
presentation of non-GAAP diluted earnings per share provides useful
supplemental information to investors and management regarding the
Company's financial condition and results. The presentation of non-GAAP
financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or
as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and
presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company calculates non-GAAP
diluted earnings per share by excluding net acquisition costs,
amortization of acquired intangible assets, amortization of deferred
debt issuance costs, restructuring costs, net securities litigation
defense costs and settlement, share-based compensation, and other
non-run-rate expenses from GAAP income before provision for income
taxes. The Company utilizes a normalized non-GAAP tax rate to provide
better consistency across the interim reporting periods within a given
fiscal year by eliminating the effects of non-recurring and
period-specific items, which can vary in size and frequency, and which
are not necessarily reflective of the Company's longer-term operations.
The normalized non-GAAP tax rate applied to fiscal years 2018 and
2017 is 30.5%. The determination of this rate is based on the
consideration of both historic and projected financial results. The
Company has not adjusted its non-GAAP tax rate for fiscal year 2018
following the enactment of the new tax reform legislation on December
22, 2017. The Company may adjust its non-GAAP tax rate in fiscal 2019 as
additional information becomes available and further analysis is
completed based on the expected long-term impact of the tax reform
legislation in conjunction with any other significant events occur that
may materially affect this rate, such as merger and acquisition
activity, changes in business outlook, or other changes in expectations
regarding tax regulations.
The Company's future period guidance in this release includes
adjustments for items not indicative of the Company's core operations.
Such adjustments are generally expected to be of a nature similar to
those adjustments applied to the Company's historic GAAP financial
results in the determination of the Company's non-GAAP diluted earnings
per share. Such adjustments, however, may be affected by changes in
ongoing assumptions and judgments as to the items that are excluded in
the calculation of non-GAAP adjusted net income and adjusted diluted
earnings per share, as described in this release. The exact amount and
probable significance of these adjustments, including net acquisition
costs, net securities litigation defense costs and settlement, and other
non-run-rate expenses, are not currently determinable without
unreasonable efforts, but may be significant. These items cannot be
reliably quantified or forecasted due to the combination of their
historic and expected variability. It is therefore not practicable to
reconcile this non-GAAP guidance to the most comparable GAAP measures.
