Sharecare announces first quarter 2023 financial results and operational highlights

ATLANTA, May 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sharecare (Nasdaq: SHCR), the digital health company that helps people manage all their health in one place, today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

"We are very pleased with our financial performance this quarter, which demonstrates our continued commitment to sustainable growth, cost optimization, and operational efficiency across our Enterprise, Provider, and Life Sciences channels," said Jeff Arnold, chairman and CEO of Sharecare. "The focus and dedication exhibited by our team has yielded demonstrable progress toward realizing our mission to create a seamless and personalized digital health experience while achieving our year-end goals, including our core KPIs of 12.9 million eligible enterprise lives and 6.5 million records processed, and we are confident in our ability to sustain this momentum throughout 2023 and into 2024."

First Quarter 2023 Financial Results
All comparisons, unless otherwise noted, are to the three months ended March 31, 2022.

• Revenue of $116.3 million compared to $100.7 million, an increase of $15.6 million, or 15.5%.
• Net loss attributable to Sharecare of $34.7 million compared to $38.2 million, a decrease to net loss attributable to Sharecare of $3.5 million. Net loss in the first quarter of 2023 included $10.0 million in non-cash stock compensation; $1.7 million in non-operating, non-recurring costs; $9.8 million of reorganizational and severance costs; $0.6 million in acquisition-related costs; and $3.4 million of other non-cash or non-operational expense. Excluding these amounts, the adjusted net loss was $9.2 million in the current quarter.
• Adjusted EBITDA of $2.1 million compared to $0.2 million, an increase to adjusted EBITDA of $1.9 million.
• Net loss per share of $0.10 compared to $0.11, a decrease to net loss per share of $0.01.
• Adjusted net loss per share, which excludes the impact of non-cash and non-operational amounts, was $0.03 compared to $0.02, an increase to adjusted net loss per share of $0.01.
  

Arnold added, "In addition to the progress we made in the quarter, we remain fiercely committed to continuing to innovate and integrate new technologies on behalf of our customers and deliver meaningful engagement, personalized interventions, and high-quality care to our members while unlocking value for our shareholders."

"Beyond the momentum we’re experiencing from investing in our salesforce, we believe the combination of our strategic automation, re-engineering of business processes, and workforce globalization will contribute to the expansion of our adjusted EBITDA margins and enable us to turn cash flow positive within 2023," said Justin Ferrero, president and chief financial officer of Sharecare. "As we exceeded our Q1 top-line guidance and maintain solid visibility into the business, we are raising the low end of our full year 2023 revenue guidance while reaffirming the top end 2023 revenue guidance and adjusted EBITDA range."

A webcast replay of the call will be available for on-demand listening at the same link and will remain available for approximately 90 days.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our financial results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe the non-GAAP measures adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted earnings (loss) per share ("adjusted EPS”) are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We use adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted EPS to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations, or outlook. In particular, we believe that the use of these non-GAAP measures is helpful to our investors as these metrics are used by management in assessing the health of our business and our operating 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, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures.

The calculations and reconciliations of historic adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net loss, and adjusted loss per share to net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP, are provided below and in the accompanying financial tables. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

We have not reconciled adjusted EBITDA guidance to net loss because we do not provide guidance for net loss or for items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing performance, including, but not limited to, the impact of significant non-recurring items, as certain of these items are out of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA guidance to the corresponding U.S. GAAP measures are not available without unreasonable effort.

Adjusted EBITDA
We calculate adjusted EBITDA as net loss adjusted to exclude (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) interest income, (iii) interest expense, (iv) income tax expense, (v) other income (non-operating), (vi) share-based compensation, (vii) warrants issued with revenue contracts, (viii) amortization of non-cash payment for research and development, (ix) net costs associated with exiting contracts, (x) non-operating, non-recurring costs, (xi) reorganizational and severance costs, and (xii) acquisition-related costs. We do not view the items excluded as representative of our ongoing operations.

Adjusted Net Loss
We calculate adjusted net loss as net loss attributable to Sharecare, Inc. adjusted to exclude (i) amortization of acquired intangibles, (ii) amortization of deferred financing fees, (iii) change in fair value of warrant liability and contingent consideration, (iv) share-based compensation, (v) warrants issued with revenue contracts, (vi) amortization of non-cash payment for research and development, (vii) net costs associated with exiting contracts, (viii) non-operating, non-recurring costs, (ix) reorganizational and severance costs, and (x) acquisition related costs. We do not view the items excluded as representative of our ongoing operations.

Adjusted Loss Per Share
We calculate adjusted lost per share as adjusted net loss, as defined above, divided by the number of weighted average common shares outstanding - basic and diluted.
