Health Catalyst Reports Fourth Quarter and Year End 2020 Results


SOUTH JORDAN, UT, February 25, 2021 — Health Catalyst, Inc. ("Health Catalyst," Nasdaq: HCAT), a leading provider of data and analytics technology and services to healthcare organizations, today reported financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2020.

“In the fourth quarter of 2020, I am pleased to share that we achieved strong performance across our business, including exceeding the mid-point of our quarterly and full-year guidance for both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA,” said Dan Burton, CEO of Health Catalyst. “While 2020 represented an extremely challenging year across the healthcare ecosystem, I am proud of the part Health Catalyst played in supporting our customers to ensure they successfully managed through this unprecedented time. In particular, I am pleased with the role that our data and analytics technology played in enabling our customers’ response to the pandemic, as evidenced by the significant increase in our technology usage throughout 2020. In this spirit, we were pleased to receive the news that our Chargemaster Management product, a new revenue analytics product addition through the Vitalware acquisition, was recently ranked as Best in KLAS for 2020. This marks the third year in a row that the Vital-CDM product has achieved this distinction from the KLAS organization.”

Dollar-based Retention Rate102 %109 %107 %

Given our high level of technology revenue predictability, we realized minimal impact on our technology dollar-based retention as a result of COVID-19, however, the financial strain imposed by COVID-19 on a number of our customers has led to a meaningfully lower professional services dollar-based retention in 2020, and thus a lower total Dollar-based Retention Rate, compared to what we have achieved historically.

Financial Outlook

Health Catalyst provides forward-looking guidance on total revenue, a GAAP measure, and Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure.
For the first quarter of 2021, we expect:
Total revenue between $53.0 million and $56.0 million, and
Adjusted EBITDA between $(3.9) million and $(1.9) million
For the full year of 2021, we expect:
Total revenue between $225.1 million and $228.1 million, and
Adjusted EBITDA between $(16.0) million and $(13.5) million
We have not reconciled guidance for Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and have not provided forward-looking guidance for net loss, because there are items that may impact net loss, including stock-based compensation, that are not within our control or cannot be reasonably predicted.

Chair of the Board Transition

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Health Catalyst appointed Timothy G. Ferris, MD, as Chair of the Board effective March 1, 2021. Dr. Ferris has served as a member of Health Catalyst’s Board of Directors since January 2018.

Since 2017, Dr. Ferris has served as the Chief Executive Officer of the Massachusetts General Physicians Organization, a multi-specialty medical group. Prior to that, he was the Senior Vice President for Population Health at Partners Healthcare and Massachusetts General Hospital, from 2011 to 2017. Dr. Ferris holds a B.A. from Middlebury College, an M.Phil. from Wolfson College, Oxford University, an M.D. from Harvard Medical School, and an M.P.H. from Harvard School of Public Health.

Dan Burton, CEO of Health Catalyst said, “I am grateful for Dr. Ferris’ alignment to our mission, our cultural attributes, and our operating principles. I anticipate that Dr. Ferris’ unique perspective will continue to add significant insights and ideas during this next phase of our company’s journey as he helps us increasingly appreciate the most significant challenges facing healthcare organizations.”

Dr. Ferris said he is honored to have been named Chair of Health Catalyst's Board. “The company’s mission-orientation, culture, and commitment to team members and clients are refreshing and drive meaningful and innovative healthcare improvements. I look forward to contributing to the vision for ongoing transformative technological solutions that improve data-informed decision-making for the healthcare ecosystem,” said Dr. Ferris.

Dr. Ferris was appointed as Chair to succeed Fraser Bullock, who joined the Board as an observer of Health Catalyst in 2012 and has served as Chair since 2014. Bullock will continue to serve on the Board at least through the completion of his current term in June 2022.

“We want to express our deep gratitude to Fraser for his significant contributions to the company over the past seven years in his role as Chair. His leadership has been instrumental in guiding our growth and development, and we’re grateful to continue to benefit from his insights and experience as a board member,” Burton said.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, we believe certain non-GAAP measures, including Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss, and Adjusted Net Loss per share, basic and diluted, are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We use this non-GAAP financial information to evaluate our ongoing operations, as a component in determining employee bonus compensation, and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly-titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance. A reconciliation is provided below for each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin
Adjusted Gross Profit is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as revenue less cost of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization and excluding (i) stock-based compensation and (ii) post-acquisition restructuring costs. We define Adjusted Gross Margin as our Adjusted Gross Profit divided by our revenue. We believe Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin are useful to investors as they eliminate the impact of certain non-cash expenses and allow a direct comparison of these measures between periods without the impact of non-cash expenses and certain other non-recurring operating expenses. The following is a reconciliation of revenue, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted Gross Profit, for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019:

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net loss adjusted for (i) interest and other expense, net, (ii) loss on extinguishment of debt, (iii) income tax (benefit) provision, (iv) depreciation and amortization, (v) stock-based compensation, (vi) acquisition transaction costs, (vii) change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, (viii) duplicate headquarters rent expense, and (ix) post-acquisition restructuring costs when they are incurred. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with useful information on period-to-period performance as evaluated by management and comparison with our past financial performance and is useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry, as this metric generally eliminates the effects of certain items that may vary from company to company for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. The following is a reconciliation of our net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBITDA, for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019:

Pro Forma Adjusted Net Loss Per Share

Adjusted Net Loss is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net loss attributable to common stockholders adjusted for (i) accretion of redeemable convertible preferred stock, (ii) stock-based compensation, (iii) amortization of acquired intangibles, (iv) loss on debt extinguishment, (v) acquisition transaction costs, (vi) change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, (vii) non-cash interest expense related to our convertible senior notes, (viii) duplicate headquarters rent expense, and (ix) post-acquisition restructuring costs. We believe Adjusted Net Loss provides investors with useful information on period-to-period performance as evaluated by management and comparison with our past financial performance and is useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry, as this metric generally eliminates the effects of certain items that may vary from company to company for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.
On July 29, 2019, we closed our initial public offering (our IPO) in which we issued and sold 8,050,000 shares (inclusive of the underwriters’ option to purchase an additional 1,050,000 shares) of common stock at $26.00 per share. We received net proceeds of $194.6 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and before deducting offering costs of $4.6 million. Upon the closing of our IPO, all shares of our outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock converted into 23,151,481 shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis. We have prepared the below adjusted condensed consolidated statement of operations data to present pro forma adjusted net loss per share amounts that will be comparable between the current and prior periods presented as if the conversion of all outstanding shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock and the issuance of the IPO shares had occurred as of the beginning of the prior year comparative periods.
