“Definitive Healthcare once again delivered in 2022 with a 34% year-over-year revenue growth rate and a 29% adjusted EBITDA margin – representing a Rule of 63 Performance.” said Robert Musslewhite, CEO of Definitive Healthcare. “This unique combination of high growth and profitability allows us to continue to effectively grow and scale the business, while maintaining a clear focus on maximizing our long-term success and value creation for customers and shareholders.”

Recent Business and Operating Highlights: 

Customer Wins

In the fourth quarter, Definitive Healthcare had multiple key customer wins, including:

  • One of the world’s largest and most renowned cancer treatment and research institutions purchased a multi-year enterprise subscription to HospitalView and Atlas All-Payor Claims to inform their strategy for partnering with leading hospitals across the country.
  • A large biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of RNA interference therapeutics purchased a multi-year enterprise subscription to our HospitalView and Atlas All-Payor Claims to design and execute a strategy for selling into Integrated Delivery Networks.
  • One of the nation’s largest health insurance and service companies significantly expanded its relationship with Definitive Healthcare. This client originally used PhysicianView and PhysicanGroupView products to map physicians to provider organizations. In Q4, the contract expanded to cover their entire organization and added multiple new products. The organization also purchased integration services to connect Definitive Healthcare data into their internal data environments.
  • The world’s largest private global pharmaceutical company signed a contract for a six-figure expansion of Passport Promotional Analytics into two new therapy areas, and as a result, the combined Definitive Healthcare ARR across all product lines at this company is now more than $1M.

“The Definitive Healthcare platform and our Atlas Dataset are increasingly seen as must-haves for any business looking to efficiently and effectively sell into the complex, fragmented $4 trillion U.S. healthcare market,” noted Robert Musslewhite. “These wins represent not only our ability to continue to grow the number of customers we serve, but also our ability to expand these relationships over the long term.”

Innovation

On February 2, 2023, Definitive Healthcare introduced the Atlas Dataset, which provides a longitudinal, comprehensive, and current picture of the healthcare market.

Combining multiple datasets on more than 15 million healthcare experts and professionals and 300,000 healthcare organizations, the Atlas Dataset has multiple components, including:

  • Atlas Reference & Affiliation provides clients with unique visibility into the operations of and connections between healthcare providers and healthcare organizations. This dataset spans more than 30 separate reference categories, including executive contact information, physical business address, organizational hierarchy, and more.
  • Atlas All-Payor Claims, previously known as the ClaimsMX product, contains billions of de-identified patient-level data points that enables longitudinal analysis of healthcare activity across payors and sites of care. This data includes both hospital and medical claims from commercial, Medicare, Medicaid, federal programs, and other payors.
  • Atlas Prescription Claims, formerly known as the ClaimsRx product, contains billions of all-payor life cycle pharmacy and direct prescription claims so users can understand the volume of claims that are paid, rejected and reversed.
  • Atlas Experts contains information on more than 13 million key opinion leaders, medical science and scientific researchers and academics, and healthcare providers. The dataset also includes millions of data points from publications, clinical trials, meeting presentations, grants, social media, advisory boards, and news outlets so clients can get an accurate understanding of the scientific activity happening for virtually any therapy area or disease state.

As part of the Atlas Dataset launch, Definitive Healthcare refined the methodology used to master payor and patient data, while implementing additional layers of cleansing and data linkage to deliver more detailed and granular reporting, longitudinal and referral analysis, and increased accuracy for patient cohort creation.

According to an independent third-party survey conducted in November 2022, the Atlas Dataset ranked first or second in each of the top ten use cases for healthcare reference and affiliation data.

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,” “should,” “may,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects” 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 market, industry and macroeconomic environment, our business, growth strategies, 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: the war between Russia and Ukraine, global geopolitical tension and worsening macroeconomic conditions; actual or potential changes in international, national, regional and local economic, business and financial conditions, including recessions, inflation, rising interest rates, volatility in the capital markets and related market uncertainty; the impact of worsening 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 profitability in the future compared to historical levels 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; the risk of cyber-attacks and security vulnerabilities; litigation, investigations or other legal, governmental or regulatory actions; and the possibility that our security measures are breached or unauthorized access to data is otherwise obtained.

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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, 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.

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. A reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP results has been provided in the financial statement tables included at the end of this press release.

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 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 net (loss) income, gross profit or any other measure derived in accordance with GAAP. 

We define Unlevered Free Cash Flow as net cash provided from 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-recurring 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, net and loss on extinguishment of debt, 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, transaction, integration and restructuring expenses and other non-recurring 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 measures to investors to assess our operating performance because these metrics eliminate non-recurring 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 revenue less cost of revenue (excluding acquisition-related depreciation and amortization and equity compensation costs) and Adjusted Gross Margin means Adjusted Gross Profit as a percentage of revenue. Adjusted Gross Profit differs from gross profit, in that gross profit includes acquisition-related depreciation and amortization expense and equity compensation costs. 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 quantity 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 income from operations plus acquisition related amortization, equity-based compensation, transaction, integration and restructuring expenses and other non-recurring expenses.  

We define Adjusted Net Income as Adjusted Operating Income less interest expense, net, other expense, net, excluding TRA liability remeasurement expense and recurring income tax expense including the incremental tax effects of adjustments to arrive at Adjusted Operating Income. We define Adjusted Net Income Per Diluted Share as Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted outstanding shares. 

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) income from operations, net (loss) income, gross profit, earnings per share or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as measures of operating cash flows or liquidity.  

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 stock-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. 

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.
