MORRISVILLE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- NantHealth, Inc. (NASDAQ-GS: NH), a leading provider of enterprise solutions that help businesses transform complex data into actionable insights, today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2021.

"Expansion of our Eviti Connect decision support solution to additional diseases states (beyond oncology) has been a major focus for us this year," said Ron Louks, Chief Operating Officer, NantHealth. "With that in mind, I am pleased to report that, during the third quarter, we signed and are preparing to launch the very first Eviti Connect autoimmune disease program with a key customer and interest in this new offering is strong. This was a significant accomplishment and, when coupled with investments we are making in our network monitoring and management service suite (OpenNMS®) and data capabilities (Quadris™), we believe these advancements lay the foundation for substantial new growth opportunities for our business.

“On the financial front, net revenue for the 2021 third quarter was lower than the previous quarter, primarily due to timing differences between the expiration of certain contracts and the initiation of others. For the 2021 fourth quarter, we expect net revenue to return closer to our average run rate for this year.

“Also, as announced today in a dedicated press release, we added three senior executives to head our sales, strategy and human resource functions. All are accomplished and experienced leaders, and we look forward to the benefit of their insights as we begin the next stage of our growth.”

Software and Services Highlights:

  • Clinical Decision Support (Eviti®):
    • Continued expansion of services provided through a key Eviti channel partner, with the addition of two new health plans and expect further growth in the fourth quarter with the addition of a large, multi-state customer-owned health insurer
    • Signed agreement with Care Continuity, Inc., a leader in network integrity and care navigation, to partner on product offerings that improve care logistics management for complex, high risk and chronic diseases, with an initial focus on extending care pathways for Eviti Connect customers and their members (with NaviNet care pathway opportunities to follow)
    • Dr. Tiffany Avery, NantHealth Chief Medical Officer, was selected to present continuing education session on advancing equity in cancer care at the Oncology Clinical Pathways Congress. The virtual session took place October 1
    • Launched Eviti Connect 8.6, which includes more robust savings and ROI visualizations for payer customers via expanded reporting that is enabled by our Quadris data analytics capabilities
  • Payer Engagement (NaviNet® and Population Health Management):
    • In October, signed a multi-year agreement with a new third party administrator that will use NaviNet Open to enhance the services it provides to self-insured health plan customers
    • Signed three-year renewal with a long-term partner and leading provider of drug authorizations, enabling electronic submission of prior authorization for any drug under any plan, including Medicare and Medicaid
    • Established a collaboration with Intraprise Systems to bring HIPAA One compliance management solutions to the NaviNet provider network, helping providers meet HIPAA compliance requirements and protect patient data
    • Launched the new NantHealth Help Center, an innovative platform that provides users with easy access to help and training content, online channels to contact support, and tools to view in progress and resolved support requests
    • Introduced new Authorization Submission APIs that allow providers to automate and streamline prior authorization requests to connected NaviNet payer customers
  • Network Monitoring and Management (The OpenNMS Group, Inc.):
    • Renewed agreements with 12 key customers and expanded services with one of the nation’s largest telecom providers (an existing account), reaffirming the value OpenNMS provides its customers

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This news release contains references to Non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share, which are financial measures that are not prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). The Company’s management believes that the presentation of Non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplementary information regarding operational performance, because it enhances an investor’s overall understanding of the financial results for the Company’s core business. Additionally, it provides a basis for the comparison of the financial results for the Company’s core business between current, past and future periods. Other companies may define these measures in different ways. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered only as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or as a superior measure to, financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP per share numbers are calculated based on one class of common stock and do not incorporate the effects, if any, of using the two-class method.
