Financial Analyst

Definitive Healthcare's Q2 2024 results present a mixed picture. While revenue grew 5% YoY to $63.7 million, the company reported a staggering net loss of $306.2 million, primarily due to a $363.6 million goodwill impairment charge. This raises concerns about the company's asset valuation and future growth prospects.

On the positive side, Adjusted EBITDA increased 21% to $20.9 million, representing 33% of revenue, up from 28% in Q2 2023. This improvement in profitability, coupled with positive cash flow from operations of $14.0 million, suggests effective cost management and operational efficiency.

The company's enterprise customer base grew by 32, reaching 537 customers with over $100,000 in annual recurring revenue. This 6% YoY growth in high-value customers is encouraging, but the overall revenue growth rate of 5% indicates potential challenges in expanding existing customer relationships or acquiring new ones.

Market Research Analyst

Definitive Healthcare's Q2 results reveal resilience in a challenging market. The company's ability to secure new enterprise customers, including an AI-software provider and a major EMR system provider, demonstrates the value proposition of its healthcare commercial intelligence offerings.

The expansion of relationships with existing clients, such as the cardiovascular division of a major diagnostics company, highlights the cross-selling potential within Definitive Healthcare's product suite. This strategy could drive future revenue growth and improve customer retention.

However, the modest 5% revenue growth suggests market saturation or increased competition. The company needs to focus on innovation and differentiation to maintain its competitive edge and accelerate growth. The new CEO's emphasis on operational efficiency is prudent, but balancing this with investments in product development and market expansion will be important for long-term success.

Tech Expert

Definitive Healthcare's Q2 results highlight the growing importance of data-driven insights in healthcare. The company's success in attracting customers like AI-software providers and major EMR systems demonstrates the increasing demand for healthcare commercial intelligence.

The adoption of Definitive Healthcare's Carevoyance platform by a major cardiovascular division showcases the value of patient movement analytics and competitive intelligence in healthcare marketing. This trend is likely to continue as healthcare providers and suppliers seek to optimize their operations and market strategies.

However, the $363.6 million goodwill impairment charge raises questions about the long-term value of the company's acquisitions and technology assets. To maintain its market position, Definitive Healthcare must continue to innovate and integrate cutting-edge technologies like AI and machine learning into its offerings to stay ahead of potential disruptors in the healthcare data analytics space.

Customer Wins

In the second quarter, Definitive Healthcare grew its enterprise customer base by 32, or 6% year-over-year, ending the quarter with 537 enterprise customers, defined as those customers with more than $100,000 in annual recurring revenue. Customer wins included:

Through integration of our claims data, and proprietary reference and affiliation data, Definitive Healthcare will serve as the foundation for their market intelligence and commercial strategy planning functions.
  
• One of the largest U.S. providers of electronic medical records systems recently expanded their relationship with Definitive Healthcare. Since 2017, their sales organization has relied on Definitive Healthcare’s View Suite of products for competitive intelligence, hospital technology install analysis, and whitespace identification. After they were acquired by a larger multinational software company, their newly formed Go-To-Market organization has expanded their use of our data for their marketing programs in addition to sales. Their marketing team selected Definitive Healthcare for our in-depth affiliation data, account data granularity and ease of use of our online portal.
  
• The cardiovascular division of one of the largest providers of diagnostics, medical devices, and pharmaceuticals recently selected our Carevoyance platform for their marketing and field sales teams to understand patient movement for cardiovascular procedures within specific territories, and to support their competitive displacement initiatives focused on the beginning stages of the physician referral funnel.
  
• A large health system on the West coast selected Definitive Healthcare to provide insights into their market opportunity at the service line level, including Neurology, Cardiology, Oncology, Orthopedic, and Maternal Child Health. This analysis will allow to them allocate resources more efficiently, increase referrals, and to reduce outmigration.
  
• The healthcare and life sciences field sales teams of one of the world’s largest software companies will be leveraging our HospitalView and ImagingView data to target hospitals, health systems and imaging centers that utilize Epic Systems EHR platforms. After the initial roll-out to their field teams, they plan to expand their use into additional facility types.

We do not provide a quantitative reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP measures due to the high variability and difficulty to predict certain items excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures; in particular, the effects of equity-based compensation expense, taxes and amounts under the tax receivable agreement, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities, and transaction, integration, and restructuring expenses. We expect the variability of these excluded items may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

Forward-Looking Statements 

This press release includes forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Such statements are provided under the “safe harbor” protection of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts, and can generally be identified by words or phrases written in the future tense and/or preceded by words such as “likely,” “will,” “should,” “may,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “continues,” “assumes,” “would,” “potentially” or similar words or variations thereof, or the negative thereof, references to future periods, or by the inclusion of forecasts or projections, but these terms are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make regarding our outlook, financial guidance, the benefits of our healthcare commercial intelligence solutions, our competitive position, customer behaviors and use of our solutions, the market, industry and macroeconomic environment, our plans to improve our operational and financial performance, our business, growth strategies, go-to-market and product development efforts and future expenses, customer growth and statements reflecting our expectations about our ability to execute on our strategic plans, achieve future growth and profitability and achieve our financial goals.    

Forward-looking statements in this press release are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, by their nature, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. As a result, our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include the following: our inability to realize expected business or financial benefits from acquisitions and the risk that our acquisitions or investments could prove difficult to integrate, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations; our inability to achieve the anticipated cost savings, operating efficiencies or other benefits of our internal restructuring activities; global geopolitical tension and difficult macroeconomic conditions; actual or potential changes in international, national, regional and local economic, business and financial conditions, including recessions, inflation, high interest rates, volatility in the capital markets and related market uncertainty; the impact of challenging macroeconomic conditions on our new and existing customers; our inability to acquire new customers and generate additional revenue from existing customers; our inability to generate sales of subscriptions to our platform or any decline in demand for our platform and the data we offer; the competitiveness of the market in which we operate and our ability to compete effectively; the failure to maintain and improve our platform, or develop new modules or insights for healthcare commercial intelligence; the inability to obtain and maintain accurate, comprehensive or reliable data, which could result in reduced demand for our platform; the risk that our recent growth rates may not be indicative of our future growth; the inability to achieve or sustain GAAP or non-GAAP profitability in the future as we increase investments in our business; the loss of our access to our data providers; the failure to respond to advances in healthcare commercial intelligence; an inability to attract new customers and expand subscriptions of current customers; our ability to successfully transition executive leadership; the risk of cyber-attacks and security vulnerabilities; litigation, investigations or other legal, governmental or regulatory actions; the possibility that our security measures are breached or unauthorized access to data is otherwise obtained; the risk that additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies that will occur in the future; and the risks of being required to collect sales or other related taxes for subscriptions to our platform in jurisdictions where we have not historically done so.  

Additional factors or events that could cause our actual performance to differ from these forward-looking statements may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, our actual financial condition, results of operations, future performance and business may vary in material respects from the performance projected in these forward-looking statements. 

For additional discussion of factors that could impact our operational and financial results, refer to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2024 that will be filed following this earnings release, as well as our Current Reports on Form 8-K and other subsequent SEC filings, which are or will be available on the Investor Relations page of our website at ir.definitivehc.com and on the SEC website at www.sec.gov. 

All information in this press release speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update this information, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law. 

Website 

Definitive Healthcare intends to use its website as a distribution channel of material company information. Financial and other important information regarding the Company is routinely posted on and accessible through the Company’s website at https://www.definitivehc.com/. Accordingly, you should monitor the investor relations portion of our website at https://ir.definitivehc.com/ in addition to following our press releases, SEC filings, and public conference calls and webcasts.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures   

We have presented supplemental non-GAAP financial measures as part of this earnings release. We believe that these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they allow for an evaluation of the Company with a focus on the performance of its core operations, including providing meaningful comparisons of financial results to historical periods and to the financial results of peer and competitor companies. Our use of these non-GAAP terms may vary from the use of similar terms by other companies in our industry and accordingly may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. Our presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures are intended as supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to loss from operations, net loss, earnings per share, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as measures of operating cash flows or liquidity. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in the financial statement tables included at the end of this press release. In evaluating our non-GAAP financial measures, you should be aware that in the future, we may incur expenses similar to those eliminated in these presentations.

We refer to Unlevered Free Cash Flow, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Diluted Share as non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not required by or prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”). These are supplemental financial measures of our performance and should not be considered substitutes for cash provided by (used in) operating activities, loss from operations, net (loss) income, net (loss) income margin, gross profit, gross margin, or any other measure derived in accordance with GAAP. 

We define Unlevered Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less purchases of property, equipment and other assets, plus cash interest expense, and cash payments related to transaction, integration, and restructuring related expenses, earnouts, and other non-core items. Unlevered Free Cash Flow does not represent residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since, among other things, we have mandatory debt service requirements. 

We define EBITDA as earnings before debt-related costs, including interest expense (income), income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted to exclude certain items of a significant or unusual nature, including other income and expense, equity-based compensation, goodwill impairments, transaction, integration, and restructuring expenses and other non-core expenses. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are key metrics used by management and our board of directors to assess the profitability of our operations. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin provide useful information to help investors to assess our operating performance because these metrics eliminate non-core and unusual items and non-cash expenses, which we do not consider indicative of ongoing operational performance. We believe that these metrics are helpful to investors in measuring the profitability of our operations on a consolidated level.  

We define Adjusted Gross Profit as gross profit excluding acquisition-related depreciation and amortization and equity-based compensation costs and Adjusted Gross Margin is defined as Adjusted Gross Profit as a percentage of revenue. Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin are key metrics used by management and our board of directors to assess our operations. We exclude acquisition-related depreciation and amortization expenses as they have no direct correlation to the cost of operating our business on an ongoing basis. A small portion of equity-based compensation is included in cost of revenue in accordance with GAAP but is excluded from our Adjusted Gross Profit calculations due to its non-cash nature.  

We define Adjusted Operating Income as loss from operations plus acquisition related amortization, equity-based compensation, goodwill impairments, transaction, integration, and restructuring expenses and other non-core expenses.  

We define Adjusted Net Income as Adjusted Operating Income less interest expense, net, recurring income tax benefit, foreign currency (loss) gain, and tax effects of adjustments. We define Adjusted Net Income Per Diluted Share as Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted outstanding shares. 

In evaluating our non-GAAP financial measures, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to those eliminated in these presentations.

(d) Goodwill impairment represents a non-cash, pre-tax, goodwill impairment charge of $363.6 million recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2024. We experienced a decline in our market capitalization as a result of a sustained decrease in our stock price, which represented a triggering event requiring our management to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test as of June 30, 2024. As a result of the impairment test, we determined that the fair value of our single reporting unit was lower than its carrying value and, accordingly, recorded this impairment charge.
(e) Other non-core items represent expenses driven by events that are typically by nature one-time, non-operational, and/or unrelated to our core operations. These expenses are comprised of non-core legal and regulatory costs isolated to unique and extraordinary litigation, legal and regulatory matters that are not considered normal and recurring business activity, including sales tax accrual adjustments inclusive of penalties and interest for sales taxes that we may have been required to collect from customers in 2024 and in certain previous years, and other non-recurring legal and regulatory matters. Other non-core items also include non-recurring consulting fees and severance costs associated with strategic transition initiatives, as well as professional fees related to financing, capital structure changes, and other non-recurring costs.
