CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects” and similar references to future periods, or by the inclusion of forecasts or projections. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make regarding the outlook for our future business and financial performance, such as those contained in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Forward-looking statements 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, but are not limited to, regional, national or global political, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory conditions.

For the reasons described above, we caution you against relying on any forward-looking statements, which should also be read in conjunction with Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors”, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, or our “2021 Form 10-K”, and Part II, Item 1A in this Quarterly Report and the other cautionary statements that are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and in our public filings, including under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”. Any forward-looking statement made by us speaks only as of the date on which we make it. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

DEFINITIVE HEALTHCARE CORP.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Description of Business

Definitive Healthcare Corp., through its operating subsidiary, Definitive OpCo, provides comprehensive and up-to-date hospital and healthcare-related information and insight across the entire healthcare continuum via a multi-tenant software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) platform which combines proprietary and public sources to deliver insights. The Company is headquartered in Framingham, MA.

Organization

Definitive Healthcare Corp. was formed on May 5, 2021 as a Delaware corporation to facilitate an initial public offering (“IPO”) and other related transactions to carry on the business of Definitive OpCo. Following consummation of the Reorganization Transactions, Definitive OpCo became an indirect subsidiary of Definitive Healthcare Corp.

Initial Public Offering

On September 17, 2021, Definitive Healthcare completed its IPO, in which it sold 17,888,888 shares of Class A Common Stock (including shares issued pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares) at a public offering price of $27.00 per share for net proceeds of $452.8 million, after deducting underwriters’ discounts and commissions (but excluding other offering expenses and reimbursements).

Definitive Healthcare used net proceeds from the IPO to (i) acquire 14,222,222 newly issued limited liability company interests (“LLC Units”) from Definitive OpCo; (ii) purchase 1,169,378 LLC Units from certain holders of LLC Units prior to the IPO; and (iii) repurchase 2,497,288 shares of Class A Common Stock received by the former shareholders of certain Blocker Companies (as defined below). Definitive OpCo used proceeds from the IPO to pay fees and expenses of approximately $11.4 million incurred in connection with the IPO and the Reorganization Transactions and to repay $199.6 million, inclusive of accrued interest expense, of the outstanding borrowings under our 2019 Credit Agreement, with the remaining proceeds intended to be used for general corporate purposes.

Reorganization Transactions

In connection with the IPO, the Company completed the following transactions (the “Reorganization Transactions”). Definitive OpCo entered into a second amended and restated limited liability company agreement (the “Amended LLC Agreement”) pursuant to which members of Definitive OpCo prior to the IPO who continue to hold LLC Units have the right to require Definitive OpCo to exchange all or a portion of their LLC Units for newly issued shares of Class A Common Stock. Until exchanged, each LLC Unit is coupled with one share of Definitive Healthcare Corp. Class B Common Stock. The total amount of shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding is equal to the number of vested LLC Units outstanding. Entities treated as corporations for U.S. tax purposes that held LLC Units (individually, a “Blocker Company” and collectively, the "Blocker Companies") each merged with a merger subsidiary and subsequently merged into Definitive Healthcare Corp. and are now holders of Class A Common Stock.

Following the Reorganization Transactions, Definitive Healthcare Corp. became a holding company, with its sole material asset being a controlling equity interest in Definitive OpCo. Definitive Healthcare Corp. operates and controls all of the business and affairs of Definitive OpCo, and through Definitive OpCo and its subsidiaries, conducts its business. Accordingly, Definitive Healthcare Corp. consolidates the financial results of Definitive OpCo and reports the noncontrolling interests of unexchanged LLC Unit holders on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In connection with the Reorganization Transactions and the IPO, Definitive Healthcare Corp entered into a tax receivable agreement. See Note 18. Income Taxes.

Follow-On Offering

On November 22, 2021, Definitive Healthcare Corp. completed a follow-on offering, in which it sold 11,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at a public offering price of $36.00 per share for net proceeds of $382.1 million, after deducting underwriters’ discounts and commissions (but excluding other offering expenses and reimbursements).

Definitive Healthcare Corp. used net proceeds from the follow-on offering to (i) acquire 7,000,000 newly issued LLC Units from Definitive OpCo; (ii) purchase 1,766,762 LLC Units from certain unitholders; and (iii) repurchase 2,233,238 shares of Class A Common Stock received by the former shareholders of certain Blocker Companies. Definitive OpCo used net proceeds from the follow-on offering to pay fees and expenses of approximately $1.6 million incurred in connection with the follow-on offering, with the remaining proceeds intended to be used for general corporate purposes.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and in conformity with rules applicable to quarterly financial information. Any reference in these notes to applicable accounting guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative nongovernmental GAAP as found in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2022 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 are unaudited. Amounts for the period from January 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021 presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements herein represent the historical operations of Definitive OpCo. The amounts as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and for the period from January 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022 reflect the consolidated operations of Definitive Healthcare Corp. and its consolidated subsidiaries. All adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise noted, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for these interim periods have been included.

Refer to Note 2 below and to Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 for the Company’s significant accounting policies and estimates.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, contingencies, valuations and useful lives of intangible assets acquired in business combinations, equity-based compensation, and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Leases

Effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02—Leases (Topic 842) (“ASC 842”).

In accordance with ASC 842, the Company, at the inception of the contract, determines whether a contract is or contains a lease. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, the Company records the related operating or finance right of use asset and lease liability at the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company is generally not able to readily determine the implicit rate in the lease and therefore uses the determined incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement to determine the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the market interest rate the Company would incur at lease commencement to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over the term of a lease. Renewal options are not included in the measurement of the right of use assets and lease liabilities unless the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the optional renewal periods. Some leases also include early termination options, which can be exercised under specific conditions. Additionally, certain leases contain incentives, such as construction allowances from landlords. These incentives reduce the right-of-use asset related to the lease.

Some of the Company's leases contain rent escalations over the lease term. The Company recognizes expense for operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s lease agreements contain variable lease payments for common area maintenance, utility, and taxes. The Company has elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components for all asset categories. Therefore, the lease payments used to measure the lease liability for these leases include fixed minimum rentals along with fixed non-lease component charges. The Company does not have significant residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants in the lease portfolio.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815—Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), provides the disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedging activities with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how the entity accounts for derivative instruments and related hedged items, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Further, qualitative disclosures are required that explain the Company’s objectives and strategies for using derivatives, as well as quantitative disclosures about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative instruments.

12


 

As required by ASC 815, the Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting.

In accordance with the FASB’s fair value measurement guidance in ASU 2011-04—Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS (“ASC 820”), the Company made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio.

Adoption of Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08—Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. This new accounting standard requires contract assets and contract liabilities (i.e., deferred revenue) acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606—Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard requires the acquirer to recognize contract assets and contract liabilities at the same amounts recorded by the acquiree. The new accounting guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this new accounting guidance effective January 1, 2022. In connection with the acquisition of Analytical Wizards completed in the first quarter of 2022, the Company recorded contract liabilities of $3.4 million. Refer to Note 3. Acquisitions for further details.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12—Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This standard removes certain exceptions for investments, intra-period allocations and interim tax calculations and adds guidance to reduce complexity in accounting for income taxes. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company adopted this new accounting guidance effective January 1, 2022, but the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02—Leases. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than twelve months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement.

The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02—Leases effective January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective transition method. Prior period results will continue to be presented under ASC 840 as it was the accounting standard in effect for such periods. The Company elected to apply the package of practical expedients that allows entities to forgo reassessing at the transition date: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (3) whether unamortized initial direct costs for existing leases meet the definition of initial direct costs under the new guidance. The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient. The Company elected to use the practical expedient that allows the combination of lease and non-lease contract components in all of its underlying asset categories. Finally, the Company also elected a policy of not recording leases on its condensed consolidated balance sheets when the leases have a term of 12 months or less and the Company is not reasonably certain to elect an option to renew the leased asset. Due to the adoption of this guidance, the Company recognized operating right-of-use assets of $12.7 million and operating lease liabilities of $14.0 million as of the date of adoption. The difference between the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet is primarily due to the accrual for lease payments as a result of straight-line lease expense and unamortized tenant incentive liability balances. The Company did not have any impact to opening retained earnings as a result of the adoption of the guidance. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, comprehensive loss, cash flows, liquidity or the Company’s covenant compliance under its existing credit agreement.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13—Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This standard is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring earlier recognition of credit losses on financing receivables and other financial assets in scope, such as trade receivables. The amendment is effective for fiscal

13


 

years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company will adopt the update effective January 1, 2023 and does not expect the adoption of the standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04—Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments of ASU No. 2020-04 are effective for companies as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity may elect to apply the amendments for contract modifications by Topic or Industry Subtopic as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. The amendments in this update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform and provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The Company is evaluating the impact that the amendments of this standard would have on its consolidated financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

3. Acquisitions

On December 22, 2021, Definitive Healthcare, LLC (“DH, LLC”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Definitive Healthcare Corp. made a $40.0 million investment in Analytical Wizards Inc. (“AW” or “Analytical Wizards”), a privately held company. Analytical Wizards automates complex analytic models using tools that expedite efficient big data mining through artificial intelligence ("A.I.") and machine learning ("M.L.") to uncover deep insights. In the transaction the Company purchased Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of AW (“Series B Preferred Stock”), representing 35% ownership of AW, and an option to acquire the remaining 65% ownership (the "Purchase Option") for $65.0 million. As of December 31, 2021, the Company determined it did not have a controlling financial interest in AW at transaction close as the Company did not have the right to control the governing body of AW or have control through other contractual rights. At December 31, 2021, because the Series B Preferred Stock and the Purchase Option did not have readily determinable fair values, the Company elected to apply the measurement alternative and adjust the carrying value of the investments in AW for impairments and observable prices in identical or similar equity securities of AW. The Company paid $40.0 million for the Series B Preferred Stock and Purchase Option, which was allocated on a relative fair value basis such that the Series B Preferred Stock and Purchase Option had carrying values of $32.7 million and $7.3 million at the time of the transaction, respectively. The Series B Preferred Stock was recorded in Investments in equity securities and the Purchase Option was recorded in Other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021.

On February 18, 2022, the Company purchased the remaining 65% of AW’s equity for $65.0 million, net of cash acquired and an estimated working capital adjustment and other customary purchase price adjustments (the “AW acquisition”). The Company’s previously held investment and Purchase Option were remeasured at fair value as of the date the Purchase Option was exercised. The remeasurement had an immaterial impact on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company has included the financial results of Analytical Wizards in the condensed consolidated financial statements from February 18, 2022, the date of acquisition.

Upon the consummation of the acquisition, AW became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Definitive Healthcare Corp. The total consideration for the initial investment and subsequent exercise of the Purchase Option was $99.4 million, consisting of $40.0 million for the initial investment paid in December 2021, approximately $58.6 million of cash paid at closing, $0.2 million reimbursement from sellers for working capital adjustments, and up to $5.0 million of contingent consideration, initially valued at $1.0 million. The contingent consideration, which relates to earn-out payments that may be paid out, subject to meeting certain expense control metrics during the two-year period following the closing of the AW acquisition, has an estimated fair value of $1.0 million as of the acquisition date. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement governing the AW acquisition, $10.0 million of the consideration was deposited into an escrow account to secure certain indemnification claims of DH, LLC. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated preliminary fair values and the results of operations were included in the Company’s condensed consolidated results as of the acquisition date.

The consideration transferred for the transaction is summarized as follows:

The contingent consideration is based on the achievement of certain expense control metrics during the two-year period following the acquisition date, with potential earn-out payouts ranging from $0 to $5.0 million. The Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration to be $1.0 million as of February 18, 2022, based on the estimated achievement of the expense control

metrics, time to payment and market participant cost of debt. The contingent consideration was recorded in Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022. Refer to Note 12. Fair Value Measurements.

The purchase price allocations for the AW acquisition are provisional and are based on the information that was available as of the acquisition date to estimate the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The purchase price allocations for this acquisition, reported as of June 30, 2022, represent the Company’s best estimates of the fair values and were based upon the information available to us. The Company is gathering and reviewing additional information necessary to finalize the values assigned to the acquired assets and liabilities assumed, as well as acquired identified intangible assets and goodwill. Therefore, the provisional measurements of fair values reported as of June 30, 2022 are subject to change. The Company is expected to finalize the purchase price allocations as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the respective acquisition date. The preliminary allocation of the acquisition-date fair values of assets and liabilities pertaining to this business combination as of February 18, 2022, was as follows:

As a result of the AW acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill, customer relationships, developed software, and tradename of $61.5 million, $39.4 million, $6.1 million, and $0.5 million, respectively, as of the acquisition date. The goodwill recognized includes the fair value of the assembled workforce, which is not recognized as an intangible asset separable from goodwill, and any expected synergies gained through the acquisition. The Company determined that the goodwill resulting from the acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes. All goodwill has been allocated to the Company’s one reportable segment.

Customer relationships represent the estimated fair value of the underlying relationships with the acquired entity’s business customers. The Company valued customer relationships using the income approach, specifically the multi-period excess earnings method. Significant assumptions include estimated attrition rates, discount rates, and tax rates reflecting the different risk profiles of the asset depending upon the acquisition. The value assigned to customer relationships is $39.4 million and is amortized using the annual pattern of cash flows (economic value method) over the estimated 20-year life of this asset.

The developed software represents AW’s two modules. Passport Promotional Analytics helps customers to optimize internal investment and business management by focusing on driving incremental efficiencies in sales, cost management, profit optimization, and productive gains. Passport Planning and Performance helps customers to analyze large data sets in order to proactively predict business outcomes. The Company used the income approach, specifically the relief-from-royalty method, to determine the value of developed software. Significant assumptions include forecast of royalty rate, tax rate, and discount rate. The developed software was valued at $6.1 million and is amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated remaining useful life of 6 years.

The tradename represents the estimated fair value of the registered trade name associated with the AW corporate brand. The Company estimated the fair value of the trademark using a relief from royalty method of the income approach. Significant assumptions include forecast of royalty rate, tax rate, and discount rate. The trademark was valued at $0.5 million and is amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated remaining useful life of 5 years.

The amortization periods for the customer relationships, developed software, and tradenames are 20 years, 6 years, and 5 years, respectively. See Note 9 for the estimated total intangible amortization expense during the next five years.

In connection with the acquisition, the Company recognized acquisition related costs of $1.2 million which were recorded within transaction expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, AW’s post-acquisition revenue and net loss on a standalone basis were not material.

5. Leases

The Company leases real estate in the form of office space facilities. Generally, the term for real estate leases ranges from 1 to 9 years at inception of the contract. Some real estate leases include options to renew that can extend the original term by 5 to 10 years.

Operating lease costs are allocated according to headcount to cost of revenue, sales and marketing, product development and general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2022, the Company does not have any finance leases.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company gave notice of its intent to extend one of its office lease facilities for an additional five-year period and the extension was accounted for as a lease modification under ASC 842. Accordingly, the Company recorded a right-of-use asset and corresponding operating lease liability of $6.0 million, which represented the present value of the expected future minimum lease payments. During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company’s executive leadership team approved a program to exit the office lease facility and signed an agreement with the landlord to withdraw the Company’s exercise of the option to extend. As a result, the lease will terminate on December 31, 2022. This was accounted for as a lease modification under ASC 842 and the Company reduced the right-of-use asset by $6.0 million in the second quarter of 2022. The Company ceased use of the office facility during the quarter and accordingly recorded an impairment charge of $0.7 million, which represented the remaining carrying value of the right-of-use asset as of June 30, 2022.

Also during the second quarter of 2022, the Company executed a plan to exit one of its office facilities by exercising an early termination clause, which was accounted for as a lease modification under ASC 842. The Company ceased use of the office facility during the quarter and accordingly recorded a $0.2 million impairment charge, which represented the remaining carrying value of the right-of-use asset.

The Company recorded the following lease costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022:

10. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company is exposed to risks from changes in interest rates related to the 2021 Term Loan (See Note 11. Long-Term Debt). The Company uses derivative financial instruments, specifically, interest rate swap contracts, in order to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Our primary objective in holding derivatives is to reduce the volatility of cash flows associated with changes in interest rates. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

In March of 2022, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements. As of June 30, 2022, the two outstanding interest rate swap agreements each had a notional value of $67.5 million. The Company has not recorded any amounts due to ineffectiveness for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The notional value of each interest rate swap agreement is expected to match the corresponding principal amount of a portion of our borrowings under the 2021 Term Loan. The swap agreements became effective as of March 31, 2022 and mature on March 31, 2025. During this period, the two notional amounts will have fixed interest rates of 2.0135% and 2.012%, and the counterparties to each of the agreements will pay the Company interest at a floating rate based on the one-month USD-LIBOR swap rate on the notional amounts. Interest payments will be made monthly on a net settlement basis.

The derivative interest rate swaps are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. Consequently, the change in the estimated fair value of the effective portion of the derivative is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and reclassified to interest expense, net, when the underlying transaction has an impact on earnings. The Company expects to recognize approximately $1.5 million of net pre-tax gains from accumulated other comprehensive income as a

20


 

reduction of interest expense in the next twelve months associated with its interest rate swap. The Company recognizes derivative instruments and hedging activities on a gross basis as either assets or liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and measures them at fair value. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. To receive hedge accounting treatment, all hedging relationships are formally documented at the inception of the hedge, and the hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to future cash flows on hedged transactions.

The fair values of the interest rate swaps and their respective locations in our condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2022 were as follows:

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company repaid $3.4 million in outstanding principal of the 2021 Term Loan, and related accrued interest payable of $3.9 million.

2021 Credit Agreement

In September 2021, DH Holdings entered into a credit agreement (the "2021 Credit Agreement") with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, the other lenders party thereto and the other parties specified therein. The 2021 Credit Agreement provides for (i) a $275.0 million term loan A facility (the "2021 Term Loan") and (ii) a $75.0 million revolving credit facility (the "2021 Revolving Line of Credit" and, together with the 2021 Term Loan, collectively, the "2021 Credit Facilities"), the proceeds of which were used to repay a portion of the indebtedness outstanding under a previous credit agreement. Both the 2021 Term Loan and the 2021 Revolving Line of Credit mature on September 17, 2026. The 2021 Credit Facilities include customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants. The 2021 Credit Facilities are guaranteed by all of DH Holdings' wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries and AIDH Buyer, a Delaware limited liability company and the direct parent company of DH Holdings, in each case, subject to customary exceptions, and are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of DH Holdings and the guarantors, including a pledge of the equity of DH Holdings, in each case, subject to customary exceptions.

The 2021 Term Loan is subject to annual amortization of principal, payable in equal quarterly installments on the last day of each fiscal quarter, commencing on December 31, 2021 (the "Initial Amortization Date"), equal to approximately 2.5% per annum of the principal amount of the term loans in the first year and second year after the Initial Amortization Date and approximately 5.0% per annum of the principal amount of the term loans in the third year, fourth year and fifth year after the Initial Amortization Date. A balloon payment of approximately $220.0 million will be due at the maturity of the 2021 Term Loan. There was $269.8 million outstanding on the 2021 Term Loan at June 30, 2022.

DH Holdings is required to pay the lenders under the 2021 Credit Agreement an unused commitment fee of between 0.25% and 0.30% per annum on the undrawn commitments under the 2021 Revolving Line of Credit, depending on the total net leverage ratio, quarterly in arrears. The expense is included in interest expense in the statements of operations. There was no outstanding balance on the 2021 Revolving Line of Credit at June 30, 2022.

21


 

For both the 2021 Term Loan and 2021 Revolving Line of Credit, DH Holdings may elect from several interest rate options based on the LIBO Rate or the Base Rate plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin will be based on the total leverage ratio beginning in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2022, the effective interest rate was 3.92%.

In connection with the 2021 Credit Agreement, the Company capitalized financing costs totaling $3.5 million, $2.8 million for the 2021 Term Loan facility and $0.8 million for the 2021 Revolving Line of Credit. The financing costs associated with the 2021 Term Loan facility are recorded as a contra-debt balance in Term loan, net of current portion in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over the remaining life of the loan using the effective interest method. The financing costs associated with the 2021 Revolving Line of Credit are recorded in Other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet are amortized over the life of the arrangement. At June 30, 2022, the unamortized financing costs were $0.6 million.

12. Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date, and establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value as follows:

Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, including the Company’s own assumptions in determining fair value.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities subject to the three-level fair value hierarchy consist principally of cash and equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, long-term and short-term debt and contingent consideration payable. The estimated fair value of cash included in cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates their carrying value due to due to their short maturities (less than 12 months).

Debt

The Company’s short- and long-term debt are recorded at their carrying values in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, which may differ from their respective fair values. The carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company’s short- and long-term debt approximate their carrying values as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, based on interest rates currently available to the Company for similar borrowings.

Money market funds (included in cash and cash equivalents)

Money market funds are recorded at fair value using quoted market prices in active markets and are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Short-term investments

The Company utilizes a third-party pricing service for the valuation of its short-term investments. U.S. treasuries consist of short-term treasury bills that are recorded at fair value using market information obtained from dealers and brokers and classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Commercial paper is carried at fair value, which is determined using a market yield curve-based approach based on observable inputs. Commercial paper is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative financial instruments

Currently, the Company uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities.

To comply with the provisions of ASC 820, the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements.

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. The Company has determined that the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments made to its derivative contracts, which determination was based on the fair value of each individual contract, was not significant to the overall valuation. As a result, all of its derivatives held as of June 30, 2022 were classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Contingent consideration

The deferred consideration that resulted from the acquisition of Analytical Wizards in the first quarter of 2022, which is subject to the meeting of certain expense control metrics during the two-year period following the AW acquisition, is measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value was estimated based on the present value of the amount expected to be paid at the end of the measurement period. At June 30, 2022, the fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated to be $1.0 million and is included in other long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The contingent consideration that resulted from the earn-outs associated with the acquisition of Monocl Holding Company in October of 2020, which was included in accrued expense and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 was paid in the first quarter of 2022.

Earnout liabilities are classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because the methodology used to develop the estimated fair value includes significant unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions. The table below presents a reconciliation of earnout liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

Non-recurring fair value measurements

Certain assets and liabilities, including property, plant and equipment, lease right-of-use assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are remeasured when the derived fair value is below the carrying value on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. For these assets, the Company does not periodically adjust carrying value to fair value except in the event of impairment. When impairment has occurred, the Company measures the required charges and adjusts the carrying value as discussed in Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, in relation to our office relocations, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1.0 million, comprised of $0.9 million relating to the operating lease right-of-use assets, and $0.1 million relating to the leasehold improvements. The fair value determination was based on valuation techniques using the best information available and included comparable market information and discounted cash flow projections.

At June 30, 2022, additional assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

14. Noncontrolling Interest

Definitive Healthcare Corp. operates and controls all of the business and affairs of Definitive OpCo, and through Definitive OpCo and its subsidiaries, conducts its business. Accordingly, Definitive Healthcare Corp. consolidates the financial results of Definitive OpCo, and reports the noncontrolling interests of its consolidated subsidiaries on its condensed consolidated financial statements based on the Definitive OpCo Units held by Continuing LLC Members. Changes in Definitive Healthcare Corp.'s ownership interest in its consolidated subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. As such, future redemptions or direct exchanges of Definitive OpCo Units by Continuing LLC Members will result in a change in ownership and reduce or increase the amount recorded as noncontrolling interests and increase or decrease additional paid-in capital in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, 3,442,891 Definitive OpCo Units held by Continuing LLC Members were exchanged for shares of Class A Common Stock of Definitive Healthcare Corp. pursuant to the terms of the Amended LLC Agreement. In addition, 11,729 restricted stock units vested, resulting in the issuance of 11,729 shares of Class A Common Stock of Definitive Healthcare Corp., for which Definitive OpCo Units were issued on a one-for-one basis pursuant to the Definitive OpCo second amended and restated limited liability company agreement entered into in connection with the IPO.

As of June 30, 2022, Definitive Healthcare Corp. held 100,484,715 units in the Definitive OpCo resulting in an ownership interest of 65.8% and a noncontrolling interest of 34.2%.

2021 Equity Incentive Plan

The Definitive Healthcare Corp. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) was adopted in September 2021. The types of grants available under the 2021 Plan include stock options (both incentive and non-qualified), stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted stock awards ("RSAs"), restricted stock units ("RSUs"), and stock-based awards.

The aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock available for grant under the 2021 Plan was 5,214,689 shares at June 30, 2022. As of June 30, 2022, 3,774,350 shares have been granted under the 2021 Plan, net of forfeitures. The outstanding RSUs have time-based and/or performance-based vesting criteria.

Time-Based RSUs

Outstanding time-based RSUs generally vest partially on the one-year anniversary of each grant and quarterly over the subsequent two- or three-year period. The following table summarizes the Company’s unvested time-based RSU activity for the six months ended June 30, 2022:

The Company recognized $7.0 million and $12.1 million in stock-based compensation expense associated with time-based RSUs in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Total unrecognized expense for these awards was estimated to be $81.6 million at June 30, 2022, to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.9 years.

Performance-Based RSUs (“PSUs”)

The Company periodically grants PSUs to certain members of the Company’s senior management team subject to the satisfaction of annual and cumulative performance conditions and/or market conditions established by the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Definitive Healthcare Corp. Those PSUs without market-based vesting conditions vest annually over three years subject to the achievement of certain performance targets and continued service. Expense for these awards is recognized when it becomes probable that performance measures triggering vesting will be achieved.

In May 2022, the Company granted PSUs to a member of the executive leadership team with performance criteria related to the relative ranking of the total stockholder return (“TSR”) of the Company’s common stock for the cumulative three-year performance period return relative to the TSR of certain peer companies within the Nasdaq Software & Services Index. TSR will be measured based on the 20-trading-day average closing stock price on the first day of the performance period compared to the 20-trading-day average closing stock price on the last day of such period, inclusive of applicable cash dividend payments. These PSUs subject to the performance criteria will cliff vest after three years, subject to the satisfaction of the performance criteria and the executive’s continued employment through the performance period. PSUs may vest in a range between 0% and 300%, based on the satisfaction of performance, and no shares will be issued if the minimum applicable performance metric is not achieved. As these PSUs vest based on the achievement of market conditions, the grant date fair values were determined using a Monte-Carlo valuation model. The Monte-Carlo valuation model considered a variety of potential future share prices for the Company as well as its peer companies in the selected market index. Expense for these awards is recognized ratably over the requisite service period based on the fair value of the award.

The number of PSUs awarded represents the target number of shares of common stock that may be earned; however, the actual number of shares may vary based on the satisfaction of performance criteria. The Company recognized $0.5 million and $0.7 million in stock-based compensation expense associated with PSUs in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Total unrecognized expense for these awards was estimated to be $8.1 million at June 30, 2022, to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.0 years.

2019 Equity Incentive Plan

The AIDH Topco, LLC 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) was utilized prior to the Reorganization Transactions and the IPO for the issuance of equity awards in the form of Class B units to employees, consultants, directors, managers, or others providing services to the Company. In connection with the Reorganization Transactions and the IPO, unvested Class B Units held directly by employees of the Company or indirectly through Definitive OpCo, were exchanged for unvested Definitive OpCo units based on their respective participation thresholds and the IPO price of $27.00 per share. The Company no longer grants any awards under the 2019 Plan, though previously granted awards under the 2019 Plan remain outstanding and governed by the 2019 Plan, including unvested units.

The Company recorded $0.6 million and $1.0 million in stock-based compensation expense associated with these units in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. At June 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $12.1 million of unrecognized unit-based compensation expense for unvested units, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.1 years.

17. Retirement Plan

The Company has a 401(k) plan covering all employees who have met certain eligibility requirements. The Company made matching contributions in accordance with the plan documents. The Company incurred $0.8 million and $1.9 million in employer matching contributions during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $0.5 million and $1.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

18. Income Taxes

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, management performed an assessment of the recoverability of deferred tax assets. Management determined, based on the accounting standards applicable to such assessment, that there was sufficient negative evidence as a result of the Company’s scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities and cumulative losses to conclude it was more likely than not that its deferred tax assets would not be realized and has recorded a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets that are not more likely than not to be realized. In the event that management was to determine that the Company would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be made which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

26


 

As of June 30, 2022, the Company has recorded a net deferred tax liability of $85.6 million, of which $10.1 million was recorded as a result of the AW acquisition. The net deferred tax liability reflects a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to not be realized as well as reversing taxable temporary differences that will not provide a source of taxable income due to attribute limitation rules.

The Company recognizes uncertain income tax positions when it is more-likely-than-not the position will be sustained upon examination. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has not identified any uncertain tax positions and has not recognized any related reserves.

The Company's effective tax rate was 2.2% and 0.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 0.6% and 0.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% due to partnership income that is not taxed, the valuation allowance recorded, and foreign tax rates that differ from the U.S. statutory tax rate.

Tax Receivable Agreement

Pursuant to the Company's election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), the Company expects to obtain an increase in its share of the tax basis in the net assets of AIDH Topco, LLC when LLC Interests are redeemed or exchanged by other members. The Company plans to make an election under Section 754 of the Code for each taxable year in which a redemption of exchange of LLC Interest occurs. The Company intends to treat any redemptions and exchanges of LLC Interest as direct purchases of LLC Interests for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These increases in tax basis may reduce the amounts that would otherwise be paid in the future to various tax authorities. They may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets.

In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement ("TRA") and has recorded a liability under the TRA of $155.9 million as of June 30, 2022. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized a TRA remeasurement gain of $3.4 million and $3.1 million within Other income (expense), net in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Under the TRA, the Company generally will be required to pay to the Original LLC Unitholders 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state, or local tax that the Company actually realizes directly or indirectly (or are deemed to realize in certain circumstances) as a result of (i) certain tax attributes created as a result of any sales or exchanges (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) to or with the Company of their interests in AIDH TopCo, LLC, including any basis adjustment relating to the assets of AIDH TopCo, LLC, (ii) existing tax attributes acquired by the Company in the pre-IPO restructuring, and (iii) tax benefits attributable to payments made under the TRA. The Company expects to benefit from the remaining 15% of any tax benefits that it may actually realize. To the extent that the Company is unable to timely make payments under the TRA for any reason, such payments generally will be deferred and will accrue interest until paid. No amounts are expected to be paid within the next 12 months.

19. Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share of Class A Common Stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to Definitive Healthcare Corp. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during the period, excluding unvested equity awards and subsidiary member units not exchanged. Diluted earnings per share of Class A Common Stock is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Definitive Healthcare Corp, adjusted for the assumed exchange of all potentially dilutive securities by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding.

Prior to the IPO, the Definitive OpCo membership structure included Class A and Class B member units. The Company analyzed the calculation of earnings per unit for periods prior to the IPO and determined that it resulted in values that would not be meaningful to the readers of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Therefore, earnings per share information has not been presented for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements, “Risk Factors,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our 2021 Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 15, 2022.

As discussed in “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may materially differ from those discussed in such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below and those discussed in “Risk Factors” under Part II, Item 1A in this Quarterly Report and in Part I, Item 1A of our 2021 Form 10-K.

Overview

Definitive Healthcare is a leading provider of healthcare commercial intelligence. Our solutions provide accurate and comprehensive information on healthcare providers and their activities to help our customers optimize everything from product development to go-to-market planning and sales and marketing execution. Delivered through our software as a service (“SaaS”) platform, our intelligence has become important to the commercial success of our over 2,900 customers as of June 30, 2022. We define a customer as a company that maintains one or more active paid subscriptions to our platform.

Our customers include biopharmaceutical and medical device companies, healthcare information technology companies, healthcare providers and other diversified companies, such as staffing firms, commercial real estate firms, financial institutions and other organizations seeking commercial success in the attractive but complex healthcare ecosystem. Within these organizations, our platform is leveraged by a broad set of functional groups, including sales, marketing, clinical research & product development, strategy, talent acquisition and physician network management. We offer access to our platform on a subscription basis, and we generate substantially all of our revenue from subscription fees.

We were founded in 2011 by our Executive Chairman, Jason Krantz. Mr. Krantz founded the company to provide healthcare commercial intelligence that enables companies that compete within or sell into the healthcare ecosystem to make better, informed decisions and be more successful. Over time, we have expanded our platform with new intelligence modules, innovative analytics, workflow capabilities and additional data sources.

Any company selling or competing within the healthcare ecosystem is a potential customer for us and contributes to our estimated current total addressable market of over $10 billion. In total, we have identified more than 100,000 potential customers that we believe could benefit from our platform.

Recent Developments

Acquisition

On February 18, 2022, the Company purchased the remaining 65% of Analytical Wizard, Inc.’s equity for $65.0 million, net of cash acquired and an estimated working capital adjustment and other customary purchase price adjustments. The total purchase consideration of $99.4 million, which includes the 35% investment the Company made in AW in December 2021, consisted of $98.4 million in cash consideration, net of working capital adjustments, and $1.0 million in estimated contingent consideration. The purchase price was primarily comprised of acquired customer relationships, technology and goodwill. The Company has included the financial results of this business in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The purchase accounting for this transaction is not yet finalized. Refer to Note 3. Acquisitions in the footnotes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-Q for further information.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to evolve and its impact on the economy and healthcare ecosystem have been vast. However, other than a brief slowdown in new bookings during the second quarter of 2020 at the outset of the pandemic, the pandemic has not adversely affected our business, results of operations or financial condition. We continued to invest in our sales force and the business and have not experienced any known business disruptions as a result of the pandemic. Most of our services are already delivered remotely or are capable of being delivered remotely. We have demonstrated our agility to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic by introducing information on telehealth adoption, COVID-19 analytics and more. We also benefitted from reduced travel expenses and continued to invest in talent and technology. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our financial condition or results of operations over the medium-to-long term, however, remains uncertain. We will continue to actively monitor the

29


 

pandemic and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state or local authorities, or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers and stockholders.

Key Factors Affecting Our Performance

We believe that the growth and future success of our business depend on many factors, including the following:

Acquiring New Customers

We plan to continue to organically grow the number of customers that use our platform by increasing demand for our platform and penetrating our addressable market. Our results of operations and growth prospects will depend in part on our ability to attract new customers. We intend to drive new customer acquisition with our efficient go-to-market engine by continuing to invest in our sales and marketing efforts and developing new use cases for our platform. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had over 2,900 and 2,800 customers, respectively. We have identified more than 100,000 potential customers across the healthcare ecosystem that we believe could benefit from our platform. Our ability to attract and acquire new customers is dependent on the strength of our platform and effectiveness of our go-to-market strategy.

Expanding Relationships with Existing Customers

We believe there is a significant opportunity to generate additional revenue from our existing customer base.

Our customers have historically increased their spending by adding intelligence modules and expanding use-cases across departments. Our customers are typically assigned to one of our vertically-focused teams, which is responsible for driving usage and increasing adoption of the platform, identifying expansion opportunities and driving customer renewals. Real-time input from these customer-centric teams is fed directly into our product innovation teams, enhancing the development of new intelligence modules. We believe this feedback loop and our ability to innovate creates significant opportunities for continual existing customer expansion.

Our platform currently offers 19 intelligence modules. Our success in expanding usage of our platform with our existing customers is demonstrated by our NDR, which is further described below.

Continuing to Innovate and Expand Our Platform

The growth of our business is driven in part by our ability to apply our deep healthcare domain expertise to innovate and expand our platform. We have continually created new products since our founding in 2011 and have launched 19 highly integrated intelligence modules to date. We plan to continue to invest significantly into our engineering and research and development efforts to enhance our capabilities and functionality and facilitate the expansion of our platform to new use cases and customers. In addition, we work to continuously release updates and new features. While we are primarily focused on organic investments to drive innovation, we will also evaluate strategic acquisitions and investments that further expand our platform.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe certain non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance. Non-GAAP measures include, but are not limited to, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because they eliminate certain non-cash items and items that affect period-over-period comparability and provide consistency with past financial performance and additional information about our underlying results and trends by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations, or outlook.

We view Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as operating performance measures. As such, we believe the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin is GAAP Gross Profit, and the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin is GAAP net loss.

Non-GAAP measures are supplemental financial measures of our performance, and should not be considered substitutes for net loss, gross profit or any other measure derived in accordance with GAAP. This information should be read only in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations to these non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation and items or events being adjusted. In addition, other companies may use different measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. A reconciliation is provided below for each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin

We define Adjusted Gross Profit as revenue less cost of revenue, excluding acquisition-related depreciation and amortization, and a small quantity of stock-based compensation. Adjusted Gross Profit differs from Gross Profit, in that Gross Profit includes the impact of acquisition-related depreciation and amortization expense and stock-based compensation. We exclude acquisition-related depreciation and amortization expense as they have no direct correlation to the cost of operating our business on an ongoing basis. Adjusted Gross Margin is defined as Adjusted Gross Profit as a percentage of revenue. These are key metrics used by management and our board of directors to assess our operations.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Gross Profit to Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin for the periods presented:

Amortization of intangible assets resulting from purchase accounting adjustments represents non-cash amortization of acquired intangibles, primarily resulting from the Advent Acquisition.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We present “Adjusted EBITDA” as a measure of our operating performance. EBITDA is defined as earnings before (i) debt-related costs, including interest expense and loss from extinguishment of debt, (ii) interest income, (iii) provision for taxes, and (iv) depreciation and amortization. Management further adjusts EBITDA in its presentation of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude (i) other (income) expense, (ii) equity-based compensation, (iii) acquisition-related and restructuring expenses and (iv) other non-recurring and one-time expenses. We exclude these items because they are non-cash or non-recurring in nature, and therefore we do not believe them to be representative of ongoing operational performance. 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 these metrics provide useful measures to investors to assess our operating performance and in measuring the profitability of our operations on a consolidated level.

Key Metrics

We monitor the following key metrics to help us evaluate our business performance, identify financial trends, formulate business plans, and make strategic operational decisions.

Net Dollar Retention Rate ("NDR")

We believe the growth in use of our platform by our existing customers is an important measure of the health of our business and our future growth prospects. We evaluate and report on our NDR on an annual basis to measure this growth. We define NDR as the percentage of ARR retained from existing customers across a defined period, after accounting for upsell, down-sell, pricing changes and churn. We calculate NDR as beginning ARR for a period, plus (i) expansion ARR (including, but not limited to, upsell and pricing increases), less (ii) churn (including, but not limited to, non-renewals and contractions), divided by (iii) beginning ARR for a period.

Current Remaining Performance Obligations ("cRPO")

We monitor current remaining performance obligations as a metric to help us evaluate the health of our business and identify trends affecting our growth. cRPO represents the amount of contracted future revenue that has not yet been recognized, including both deferred revenue and non-cancelable contracted amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue within the next twelve months. cRPO is not necessarily indicative of future revenue growth. In addition to total contract volume, cRPO is influenced by several factors, including seasonality, disparate contract terms, and the timing of renewals, because renewals tend to be highest in the fourth quarter. Due to these factors, it is important to review cRPO in conjunction with revenue and other financial metrics.

The following table presents cRPO as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Impact of Acquisitions

We seek to enhance our platform, data and business through internal development and through acquisitions of and investments in businesses that broaden and strengthen our platform. In February 2022, we completed our acquisition of Analytical Wizards, Inc. This acquisition further strengthens our data platform and our business. Acquisitions can result in transaction costs, amortization expenses and other adjustments as purchase accounting requires that all assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at fair value on the acquisition date. Refer to Note 3. Acquisitions in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for further details.

Components of our Results of Operations

Revenue

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we derived approximately 98% of our revenue from subscription services and the remainder from professional services. Our subscription services consist primarily of subscription fees for access to our platform. Our subscription contracts typically have a term ranging from 1 to 3 years and are non-cancellable. We typically bill for services in advance annually, and we typically require payment at the beginning of each annual period. Our subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term. Our professional services revenue typically is derived from consulting services which are generally capable of being distinct and can be accounted for as separate performance obligations. Revenue related to these professional services is insignificant and is recognized at a point in time, when the performance obligations under the terms of the contract are satisfied and control has been transferred to the customer.

32


 

Cost of Revenue

Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue, excluding amortization of acquired technology and data, consists of direct expenses related to the support and operations of our SaaS platform, such as data and infrastructure costs, personnel costs for our professional services, customer support and data research teams, such as salaries, bonuses, stock-based compensation, and other employee-related benefits, as well as allocated overheads. We anticipate that we will continue to invest in cost of revenue and that cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue will stay consistent or modestly increase as we add to our existing intelligence modules and invest in new products and data sources. Cost of data is included in the cost of revenue and is a fundamental driver of innovation.

Amortization. Includes amortization expense for technology and data acquired in business combinations and asset purchase agreements. We anticipate that amortization will only increase if we make additional acquisitions in the future.

Gross Profit

Gross profit is revenue less cost of revenue, and gross margin is gross profit as a percentage of revenue. Gross profit and gross margin have been and will continue to be affected by various factors, including the costs associated with third-party data and third-party hosting services, leveraging economies of scale, and the extent to which we introduce new intelligence modules, features or functionality or expand our customer support and service organizations, hire additional personnel or complete additional acquisitions. We expect that our gross profit and gross margin will fluctuate from period to period depending on the interplay of these various factors.

Operating Expenses

The most significant component of our operating expenses is personnel costs, which consist of salaries, bonuses, sales commissions, stock-based compensation, and other employee-related benefits. Operating expenses also include non-personnel costs such as facilities, technology, professional fees, and marketing.

Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of personnel costs such as salaries, bonuses, sales commissions, stock-based compensation, and other employee-related benefits for our sales and marketing teams, as well as non-personnel costs including overhead costs, technology and marketing costs. We expect that sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue may increase in 2022, primarily as a result of compensation expense associated with key management-level personnel, partially offset by cost savings resulting from expected operating leverage in the business. We continue to hire additional sales and marketing personnel, enhance our digital marketing infrastructure and invest in marketing programs targeting our major vertical markets.

Product development. Product development expenses primarily consist of personnel costs such as salaries, bonuses, stock-based compensation, and other employee-related benefits for our engineering, data science and product teams, as well as non-personnel costs including overhead costs. We believe that our core technologies and ongoing innovation represent a significant competitive advantage for us, and we expect our product development expenses to continue to increase as we further strengthen and enhance our solutions. We anticipate that product development expense as a percentage of revenue will stay consistent or modestly increase as we continue to invest in systems optimization and module improvements for our customers, enhance our software development team and continue to invest in automation and A.I. to drive higher quality data and deeper insights.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel costs such as salaries, bonuses, stock-based compensation, and other employee-related benefits for our executive, finance, legal, human resources, IT and operations, and administrative teams, as well as non-personnel costs including overhead costs, professional fees and other corporate expenses including expenses associated with operating as a public company. We anticipate that general and administrative costs will significantly increase relative to prior periods due to the incremental costs associated with operating as a public company, including corporate insurance costs, additional accounting and legal expenses, and additional resources associated with controls, reporting, and disclosure. Due primarily to the costs associated with operating as a public company, we expect general and administrative costs as a percentage of revenue to increase in 2022, and then stay consistent or modestly decrease thereafter, as we realize operating leverage in the business.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses consist primarily of amortization of customer relationships and trade names primarily as a result of the accounting for the Advent Acquisition, as well as depreciation of property and equipment. We anticipate depreciation of property and equipment as a percentage of revenue to moderately decrease, although amortization will increase if we make additional acquisitions in the future.

Transaction and restructuring expenses. Transaction and restructuring expenses are costs directly associated with various acquisition and integration activities we have undertaken, primarily accounting and legal due diligence, and consulting and advisory fees as well as expenses related to our office relocations.

33


 

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net consists primarily of interest expense, net and other income (expense), net.

Interest expense, net consists primarily of interest expense on our debt obligations and the amortization of debt discounts and debt issuance costs, less interest income. We expect to realize a reduction in our interest expense during 2022 over prior periods resulting from the repayment of a portion of our outstanding indebtedness with the proceeds from the IPO. We also expect that we will eventually see a reduction in our interest expense resulting from our interest rate swap agreement, though it may increase interest expense in the short-term.

Other income (expense), net consists primarily of the revaluation of tax receivable agreement liabilities and realized and unrealized gains and losses related to the impact of transactions denominated in a foreign currency. Significant changes in the projected liability resulting from the tax receivable agreement may occur based on changes in anticipated future taxable income, changes in applicable tax rates or other changes in tax attributes that may occur and could affect the expected future tax benefits to be received by us. We do not have significant exposure to foreign exchange volatility and do not anticipate foreign currency transaction gains or losses to materially impact our results of operations.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2021

Revenue

Revenue increased $14.7 million, or 37%, in the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared with the same period in the prior year, driven by higher subscription revenue of $14.1 million. This increase was primarily due to net expansion with existing customers, as well as organic addition of new customers, and the addition of new customers resulting from the acquisition of Analytical Wizards.

34


 

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue increased $1.9 million, or 19%, in the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared with the same period in the prior year, primarily due to increased hosting fees, increases in employee benefit and insurance costs and, to a lesser extent, incremental personnel costs resulting from the acquisition of Analytical Wizards.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased $17.4 million, or 48%, during the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared with the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to:

An increase in sales and marketing expense of $10.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, due primarily to increased personnel costs resulting from additional hiring, as well as increases in stock-based compensation expense and in employee benefit and insurance costs;
An increase in product development expense of $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, due primarily to increased personnel costs resulting from additional hiring and increases in stock-based compensation expense and in employee benefit and insurance costs;
An increase in general and administrative expense of $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, due primarily to increased personnel costs arising from additional hiring and increases in employee benefit and insurance costs, as well as increases in stock-based compensation expense and additional accounting and legal expenses resulting from the transition to becoming a publicly traded company;

This increase was partially offset by a decrease in transaction and restructuring expenses of $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, due primarily to contingent consideration related to the Monocl acquisition recognized during the second quarter of 2021, partially offset by costs recognized during the second quarter of 2022 from the acquisition of Analytical Wizards and the restructuring costs.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other expense, net decreased $9.8 million, or 117%, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared with the same period in the prior year. This was primarily due to a decrease in interest expense, net for the three months ended June 30, 2022, attributable to lower outstanding debt in 2022, as well as lower interest rates resulting from the refinancing of the Company’s debt in September of 2021, and to a lesser extent a TRA remeasurement gain of $3.4 million and realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains in 2022.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2021

Revenue

Revenue increased $27.9 million, or 36%, in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared with the same period in the prior year, driven by higher subscription revenue of $27.2 million. This increase was primarily due to net expansion with existing customers, as well as organic addition of new customers, and the addition of new customers resulting from the acquisition of Analytical Wizards.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue increased $3.8 million, or 20%, in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared with the same period in the prior year, primarily due to increased hosting fees, increases in employee benefit and insurance costs and, to a lesser extent, incremental personnel costs resulting from the acquisition of Analytical Wizards.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased $37.5 million, or 57%, during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared with the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to:

An increase in sales and marketing expense of $20.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, due primarily to increased personnel costs resulting from additional hiring, as well as increases in stock-based compensation expense and in employee benefit and insurance costs;
An increase in product development expense of $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, due primarily to increased personnel costs resulting from additional hiring, as well as increases in stock-based compensation expense and in employee benefit and insurance costs;
An increase in general and administrative expense of $8.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, due primarily to increased personnel costs arising from additional hiring and increases in employee benefit and insurance costs, as well

35


 

as increases in stock-based compensation expense and additional accounting and legal expenses resulting from the transition to becoming a publicly traded company;

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net decreased $16.2 million, or 97%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared with the same period in the prior year, due to a decrease in interest expense, net for the six months ended June 30, 2022, attributable to lower outstanding debt in 2022, as well as lower interest rates resulting from the refinancing of the Company’s debt in September of 2021, and to a lesser extent a TRA remeasurement gain of $3.1 million and realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains in 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

As of June 30, 2022, we had $228.2 million of cash and cash equivalents, $118.2 million of short-term investments and $75.0 million available under our revolving credit facility. Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments on hand, primarily from our IPO and follow-on offerings, as well as the cash flows we generate from operations. Our principal uses of liquidity have been primarily for investment in long-term growth of the business through capital expenditures and acquisitions, as well as debt services and distributions to members of Definitive OpCo.

All of our business is conducted through Definitive OpCo and its consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates, and the financial results are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements of Definitive Healthcare Corp. Definitive Healthcare Corp. has no independent means of generating revenue. The Amended LLC Agreement provides that certain distributions will be made to cover Definitive Healthcare Corp.'s taxes and such tax distributions are also expected to be used by Definitive Healthcare Corp. to satisfy its obligations under the TRA. We have broad discretion to make distributions out of Definitive OpCo. In the event Definitive Healthcare Corp. declares any cash dividend, we expect to cause Definitive OpCo to make distributions to us, in an amount sufficient to cover such cash dividends declared by us. Deterioration in the financial condition, earnings, or cash flow of Definitive OpCo and its subsidiaries for any reason could limit or impair their ability to pay such distributions. In addition, the terms of our 2021 Credit Agreement contain covenants that may restrict DH Holdings and its subsidiaries from paying such distributions, subject to certain exceptions. Further, Definitive OpCo and Definitive Healthcare Corp. are generally prohibited under Delaware law from making a distribution to a member to the extent that, at the time of the distribution, after giving effect to the distribution, liabilities of Definitive OpCo and DH Holdings (with certain exceptions), as applicable, exceed the fair value of its assets. Subsidiaries of DH Holdings are generally subject to similar legal limitations on their ability to make distributions to DH Holdings.

We believe that our cash flow from operations, availability under the 2021 Credit Agreement and available cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months. We anticipate that to the extent that we require additional liquidity, it will be funded through the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the issuance of additional equity, or a combination thereof. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to obtain this additional liquidity on reasonable terms, or at all.

Additionally, our liquidity and our ability to meet our obligations and fund our capital requirements are also dependent on our future financial performance, which is subject to general economic, financial and other factors that are beyond our control. See “Risk Factors” in our 2021 Form 10-K. Accordingly, we cannot provide assurance that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available from additional indebtedness or otherwise to meet our liquidity needs. If we decide to pursue one or more significant acquisitions, we may incur additional debt or sell or issue additional equity to finance such acquisitions, which could possibly result in additional expenses or dilution.

Cash Flows provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $29.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily as a result of a net loss of $22.6 million, offset by non-cash charges of $49.0 million. The non-cash charges were primarily comprised of amortization of intangible assets of $29.8 million, equity compensation costs of $15.9 million, and amortization of deferred contract costs of $4.0 million, offset by a gain on remeasurement of the tax receivable agreement of $3.1 million. The net change in operating assets and liabilities of $2.8 million was primarily the result of a decrease in accounts receivable of $15.3 million, an increase in deferred revenue of $1.7 million due to the timing of billings and cash received in advance of revenue recognition for subscription services, and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets of $1.3 million, partially offset by cash outflows resulting from an increase in deferred contract costs of $6.8 million, $6.4 million in payments of contingent consideration arising from the Monocl acquisition, and lower accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, collectively, of $2.2 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $21.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily as a result of a net loss of $25.5 million, which was offset by non-cash charges of $37.8 million and a net change of $9.6 million in our operating assets and liabilities. The non-cash charges were primarily comprised of amortization of intangible assets of $28.9 million, a $3.4 million increase in the earnout liability related to the Monocl acquisition, equity compensation costs of $2.0 million, amortization of deferred contract costs of $1.9 million, and amortization of debt issuance costs of $1.0 million. The change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily the result of a decrease in accounts receivable of $10.5 million and an increase in deferred revenue of $7.9 million due to the timing of billings and cash received in advance of revenue recognition for subscription services, partially offset by an increase in deferred contact costs of $6.0 million and a net decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $2.1 million, and an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $0.6 million.

Cash Flows used in Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $177.0 million, driven primarily by $163.0 million in purchases of short-term investments, partially offset by $44.0 million in maturities of short-term investments, and $56.5 million paid to complete the purchase of Analytical Wizards (net of cash acquired).

Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $5.2 million, resulting from purchases of property, equipment, and data.

Cash Flows used in Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $11.1 million, primarily driven by $5.3 million in tax distributions to members, repayments of the 2021 Term Loan of $3.4 million, $1.3 million in payments of deferred equity offering issuance costs, and $1.1 million in payments of contingent consideration arising from the Monocl acquisition.

Cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $3.1 million, primarily driven by tax distribution payments to members of $3.3 million, term loan repayments of $2.3 million, $1.4 million in payments of deferred equity offering issuance costs, and $1.5 million in payments of contingent consideration arising from the Monocl acquisition, partially offset by member contributions of $5.5 million.

Refer to Debt Obligations for additional information related to our debt obligations.

Debt Obligations

The 2021 Term Loan of $275.0 million has a maturity date of September 17, 2026. The 2021 Term Loan was recorded net of $3.5 million in issuance costs, which are amortized to interest expense over the term of the loan using the effective interest method.

The 2021 Term Loan is subject to annual amortization of principal, payable in equal quarterly installments on the last day of each fiscal quarter, commencing on the Initial Amortization Date, equal to approximately 2.5% per annum of the principal amount of the term loans in the first year and second year after the Initial Amortization Date and approximately 5.0% per annum of the principal amount of the term loans in the third year, fourth year, and fifth year after the Initial Amortization Date. A balloon payment of approximately $220.0 million will be due at maturity. There was $269.8 million outstanding on the 2021 Term Loan at June 30, 2022.

The 2021 Revolving Line of Credit is committed for $75.0 million and has a maturity date of September 17, 2026. There was no outstanding balance as of June 30, 2022.

The 2021 Credit Agreement includes certain financial covenants, and the Company was compliant with its financial covenants under the 2021 Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Tax Receivable Agreement

In connection with the Reorganization Transactions and the IPO, the Company entered into the TRA with certain of our pre- IPO unitholders and the former shareholders of certain Blocker Companies. The TRA provides for the payment by Definitive

37


 

Healthcare Corp. of 85% of the amount of any tax benefits that it actually realizes, or in some cases is deemed to realize, as a result of (i) certain favorable tax attributes it acquired from the Blocker Companies in the Reorganization Transactions (including net operating losses and the unamortized portion of the increase in tax basis in the tangible and intangible assets of Definitive OpCo and its subsidiaries resulting from the prior acquisitions of interests in Definitive OpCo by the Blocker Companies), (ii) tax basis adjustments resulting from the acquisition of LLC Units by Definitive Healthcare Corp. and (iii) certain payments made under the TRA.

In each case, these tax basis adjustments generated over time may increase (for tax purposes) the Definitive Healthcare Corp.’s depreciation and amortization deductions and, therefore, may reduce the amount of tax that the Definitive Healthcare Corp. would otherwise be required to pay in the future, although the IRS may challenge all or part of the validity of that tax basis, and a court could sustain such a challenge. The anticipated tax basis adjustments upon redemptions or exchanges of LLC Units may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those assets. The payment obligations under the TRA are an obligation of Definitive Healthcare Corp., but not of Definitive OpCo. Definitive Healthcare Corp. expects to benefit from the remaining 15% of realized cash tax benefits. For purposes of the TRA, the realized cash tax benefits will be computed by comparing the actual income tax liability of Definitive Healthcare Corp. (calculated with certain assumptions) to the amount of such taxes that Definitive Healthcare Corp. would have been required to pay had there been no tax basis adjustments of the assets of Definitive Healthcare Corp. as a result of redemptions or exchanges and no utilization of certain tax attributes of the Blocker Companies, and had Definitive Healthcare Corp. not entered into the TRA. The term of the TRA will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired, unless (i) Definitive Healthcare Corp. exercises its right to terminate the TRA for an amount based on the agreed payments remaining to be made under the agreement, (ii) Definitive Healthcare Corp. breaches any of its material obligations under the TRA in which case all obligations (including any additional interest due relating to any deferred payments) generally will be accelerated and due as if Definitive Healthcare Corp. had exercised its right to terminate the TRA, or (iii) there is a change of control of Definitive Healthcare Corp., in which case, all obligations (including any additional interest due relating to any deferred payments) generally will be accelerated and due as if Definitive Healthcare Corp. had exercised its right to terminate the TRA as described above in clause (i). Estimating the amount of payments that may be made under the TRA is by its nature imprecise, insofar as the calculation of amounts payable depends on a variety of factors. The amount of the anticipated tax basis adjustments, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the TRA, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of exchanges, the price of shares of our Class A Common Stock at the time of an exchange, the extent to which such exchanges are taxable, the amount of tax attributes, and the amount and timing of our income.

We expect that as a result of the size of the anticipated tax basis adjustment of the tangible and intangible assets of Definitive OpCo upon the exchange or redemption of LLC Units and our possible utilization of certain tax attributes, the payments that Definitive Healthcare Corp. may make under the TRA will be substantial. The payments under the TRA are not conditioned upon continued ownership of us by the exchanging holders of LLC Units. See Note 18. Income Taxes in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures decreased by $3.6 million to $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $5.2 million for the same period in the prior year, primarily driven by higher capital expenditures in support of the Company’s growth in the prior year that did not repeat in the first six months of 2022.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2022, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and on other factors that we believe to be reasonable. Actual results may differ from those estimates. We review these estimates on a periodic basis to ensure reasonableness. Although actual amounts may differ from such estimated amounts, we believe such differences are not likely to be material. For additional detail regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates including business combinations, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and income taxes, see our discussion for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in our 2021 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to these policies or estimates as of June 30, 2022.

JOBS Act Accounting Election

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date we (i) are no longer an

38


 

emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

New Accounting Pronouncements

See new accounting pronouncements described under “—Adoption of Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards” and “—Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted” within Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial condition due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily a result of exposure due to potential changes in inflation, interest rates or currency rates.

Interest Rate Risk

Our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments primarily consist of cash on hand and highly liquid investments in money market funds, U.S. government securities and commercial paper. As of June 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $228.2 million and short-term investments of $118.2 million.

Our operating results are subject to market risk from interest rate fluctuations on our 2021 Term Loan, which bears a variable interest rate based on the LIBO Rate or a Base Rate plus an applicable margin. In order to reduce the interest rate risk on our debt, we have entered into an interest rate swap agreement on a portion of our borrowings. As of June 30, 2022, the total principal balance outstanding was $269.8 million. Excluding the effect of the interest rate swap agreement, a hypothetical 1.0% increase or decrease in the interest rate associated with borrowings under the 2021 Credit Agreement would have resulted in an impact to interest expense of approximately $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

To date, our sales contracts have been denominated in U.S. dollars. We have one foreign entity established in Sweden and one in India. The functional currencies of these foreign subsidiaries are the Swedish Krona and the Indian Rupee, respectively. Monetary assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiaries are re-measured into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the reporting date, non-monetary assets and liabilities are re-measured at historical rates, and revenue and expenses are re-measured at average exchange rates in effect during each reporting period. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recorded to non-operating income (loss). As the impact of foreign currency exchange rates has not been material to our historical results of operations, we have not entered into derivative or hedging transactions, but we may do so in the future if our exposure to foreign currency becomes more significant.

Impact of Inflation

We do not believe inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. However, if our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset higher costs through price increases and our inability or failure to do so could potentially harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Credit Risk

Our financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, and trade and other receivables. We hold cash with reputable financial institutions that often exceed federally insured limits. We manage our credit risk by concentrating our cash deposits with high-quality financial institutions and periodically evaluating the credit quality of those institutions. The carrying value of cash approximates fair value.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2022 to provide reasonable assurance that information to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or

39


 

submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

We are subject to various legal proceedings, claims, and governmental inspections, audits, or investigations that arise in the ordinary course of our business. There are inherent uncertainties in these matters, some of which are beyond management’s control, making the ultimate outcomes difficult to predict. Moreover, management’s views and estimates related to these matters may change in the future, as new events and circumstances arise and the matters continue to develop. Although the outcomes of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, in the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of these matters would not be expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

For a more detailed discussion of our risks and uncertainties, see also Item 1A – Risk Factors in our 2021 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in our risk factors since the filing of our 2021 Form 10-K.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Pursuant to the terms of the Amended LLC Agreement, holders of LLC Units have the right to exchange all or a portion of their LLC Units for newly issued shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. Upon any such exchange, a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock held by the LLC Unit holder are cancelled. Such exchanges executed in the second quarter of 2022 are as follows:

3.
Payment

 

(a)
Settlement. The Company shall deliver to the Participant within thirty (30) days following each Vesting Date or the vesting date under Section 11 of the Employment Agreement, as applicable, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units that vested or otherwise became issuable on such date. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be delivered, but shall be delayed until a full share has vested. The Company may deliver such shares either through book entry accounts held by, or in the name of, the Participant or cause to be issued a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares to be issued in respect of the Restricted Stock Units, registered in the name of the Participant.

 

(b)
Withholding Requirements. Unless the Company and the Participant otherwise agree, the Company shall deduct or withhold from any shares of Common Stock deliverable under this Agreement amounts necessary to satisfy all federal, state and local taxes required to be withheld in connection with the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units. In addition, to the extent permitted by the Committee in its sole discretion, subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, withholding may be satisfied through an open-market, broker-assisted sales transaction pursuant to which the Company is promptly delivered the amount of proceeds necessary to satisfy the withholding amount, which shall be subject to any terms and conditions imposed by the Committee. The Company and the Participant may also agree to satisfy some or all of any applicable tax withholding obligations by any means allowable under Section 14 of the Plan.

 

4.
Non-Disclosure and Non-Use of the Company’s Trade Secrets or Confidential Information

 

(a)
At all times during and following Participant’s Service, Participant agrees that he or she will not, either directly or indirectly, and Participant will not permit any

Covered Entity which is Controlled by Participant to, either directly or indirectly, (i) divulge, use, disclose (in any way or in any manner, including by posting on the Internet), reproduce, distribute, or reverse engineer or otherwise provide the Company’s Trade Secrets or Confidential Information to any person, firm, corporation, reporter, author, producer or similar person or entity; (ii) take any action that would make available Trade Secrets or Confidential Information to the general public in any form; (iii) take any action that uses Trade Secrets or Confidential Information to solicit any client or prospective client of the Company; or (iv) take any action that uses Trade Secrets or Confidential Information for solicitation or marketing for any service or product or on Participant’s behalf or on behalf of any entity other than the Company with which Participant may become associated, except (i) as required in connection with the performance of such Participant’s duties to the Company, (ii) as required to be included in any report, statement or testimony requested by any municipal, state or national regulatory body having jurisdiction over Participant or any Covered Entity which is Controlled by Participant, (iii) as required in response to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (iv) to the extent necessary in order to comply with any law, order, regulation, ruling or governmental request applicable to Participant or any Covered Entity which is Controlled by Participant, (v) as required in connection with an audit by any taxing authority, or (vi) as permitted by the express written consent of the Board. In the event that Participant or any such Covered Entity which is Controlled by Participant is required to disclose Trade Secrets or Confidential Information pursuant to the foregoing exceptions, Participant shall promptly notify the Company of such pending disclosure and assist the Company (at the Company’s expense) in seeking a protective order or in objecting to such request, summons or subpoena with regard to the Trade Secrets or Confidential Information. If the Company does not obtain such relief after a period that is reasonable under the circumstances, Participant (or such Covered Entity) may disclose that portion of the Trade Secrets or Confidential Information which counsel to such party advises such party that they are legally compelled to disclose. In such cases, Participant shall promptly provide the Company with a copy of the Trade Secrets or Confidential Information so disclosed. This provision applies without limitation to unauthorized use of Trade Secrets or Confidential Information in any medium, writings of any kind containing such information or materials, including books, and articles, blogs, websites, or writings of any other kind, or film, videotape, or audiotape. If, and only if, the controlling state law applicable to Participant requires a time limit to be placed on restrictions concerning the post-employment use of Confidential Information for the restriction to be enforceable, then this restriction on Participant’s use of Confidential Information that is not a Trade Secret will expire two (2) years after Participant’s employment or other association with the Company ends. This time limit will not apply to Confidential Information that qualifies as a Trade Secret. The Company’s trade secrets will remain protected for as long as they qualify as trade secrets under applicable law.

(b)
Notwithstanding Participant’s confidentiality obligations set forth in this Section 4, Participant understands that, pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Participant shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a Trade Secret that: (i) is made (x) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (y) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Participant understands that in the event it is determined that disclosure of the Trade Secrets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates was not done in good faith pursuant to the above, Participant shall be subject to substantial damages under federal criminal and civil law, including punitive damages and attorneys’ fees.

 

(c)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Agreement shall limit or interfere with Participant’s right, without notice to or authorization of the Company, to communicate and cooperate in good faith with a Government Agency for the purpose of (i) reporting a possible violation of any U.S. federal, state, or local law or regulation, (ii) participating in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted or managed by any Government Agency, including by providing documents or other information, or (iii) filing a charge or complaint with a Government Agency. For purposes of this Agreement, “Government Agency” means the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or any other self-regulatory organization or any other federal, state or local governmental agency or commission.

 

(d)
Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 4, the terms of Section 5 of the Employment Agreement shall apply for purposes of the Participant’s obligations regarding the use or disclosure of the Company’s confidential information and trade secrets.

 

5.
Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. During the term of Participant’s Service and for 12 months following the termination of Participant’s Service (the “Restricted Period”):

 

(a)
Participant will not, directly or indirectly, individually or as a consultant to, or an Participant, officer, director, manager, stockholder, partner, member or other owner or participant in any business entity (including, without limitation, any competitor

4

 

 

 


 

 

of the Company), other than the Company, engage in or assist any other person or entity to engage in any business which competes with any business in which the Company is engaging or the actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the Company (a “Competing Business”), during the Participant’s employment, anywhere in the United States or anywhere else in the world where the Company does business or plans to do business or is considering doing business Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant’s (x) discretionary ownership of less than three percent (3%) and (y) non-discretionary (for example through a mutual fund or other investment vehicle not controlled by Participant) ownership of the outstanding stock of any publicly-traded corporation shall not be deemed a violation of this Section 5(a);

 

(b)
the Participant will not, directly or indirectly, individually or as a consultant to, or an Participant, officer, director, manager, stockholder, partner, member or other owner or participant in any business entity solicit or endeavor to entice away from the Company, endeavor to reduce the amount of business conducted with the Company by or otherwise interfere with the business relationship of the Company with any person or entity who is, or was within the one-year period immediately prior thereto, a customer or client of, supplier, vendor or service provider to, or other party having business relations with the Company; and

 

(c)
the Participant will not, directly or indirectly, individually or as a consultant to, or an Participant, officer, director, manager, stockholder, partner, member or other owner or participant in any business entity solicit or endeavor to entice away from the Company, or offer employment or any consulting arrangement to, or otherwise interfere with the business relationship of the Company with any person or entity who is, or was within the one-year period immediately prior thereto, employed by, associated with or a consultant to the Company.

 

(d)
Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 5, the terms of Sections 6 and 7 of the Employment Agreement shall apply for purposes of the Participant’s obligations regarding non-competition and non-solicitation.

 

6.
Enforcement; Remedies. Participant acknowledges that Participant’s expertise in the business of the Company is of a special and unique character which gives this expertise a particular value, and that a breach of Sections 4 or 5 by Participant will cause serious and potentially irreparable harm to the Company. Participant therefore acknowledges that a breach of Sections 4 or 5 by Participant cannot be adequately compensated in an action for damages at law, and equitable relief would be necessary to protect the Company from a violation of this Agreement

5

 

 

 


 

 

and from the harm which this Agreement is intended to prevent. By reason thereof, Participant acknowledges that the Company is entitled, in addition to any other remedies it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, to preliminary and permanent injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent or curtail any breach of this Agreement. Participant acknowledges, however, that no specification in this Agreement of a specific legal or equitable remedy may be construed as a waiver of or prohibition against the Company pursuing other legal or equitable remedies in the event of a breach of this Agreement by Participant. For purposes of Sections 4 and 5, “Company” shall specifically include the Company and its direct and indirect parent entities, subsidiaries, successors and assigns. If Participant fails to comply with a restriction in this Agreement that applies for a limited period of time after employment, the time period for that restriction will be extended by the greater of either: one day for each day Participant is found to have violated the restriction, or the length of the legal proceeding necessary to secure enforcement of the restriction; provided, however, that this extension of time shall be capped so that the extension of time does not exceed two years from the date their employment ended, and if this extension would make the restriction unenforceable under applicable law it will not be applied (“Fairness Extension”). If Participant resides or works in Massachusetts, the Fairness Extension will only apply to the restrictions in Section 5(b) and (c) and will only apply to the non-competition restriction in Section 5(a) if Participant breaches their fiduciary duty and/or has unlawfully taken, physically or electronically, any Company records. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of Section 8 of the Employment Agreement shall apply.

 

7.

the Participant will not, directly or indirectly, individually or as a consultant to, or an Participant, officer, director, manager, stockholder, partner, member or other owner or participant in any business entity solicit or endeavor to entice away from the Company, or offer employment or any consulting arrangement to, or otherwise interfere with the business relationship of the Company with any person or entity who is, or was within the one-year period immediately prior thereto, employed by, associated with or a consultant to the Company.

 

(d)
Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 5, the terms of Sections 6 and 7 of the Employment Agreement shall apply for purposes of the Participant’s obligations regarding non-competition and non-solicitation.

 

6.
Enforcement; Remedies. Participant acknowledges that Participant’s expertise in the business of the Company is of a special and unique character which gives this expertise a particular value, and that a breach of Sections 4 or 5 by Participant will cause serious and potentially irreparable harm to the Company. Participant therefore acknowledges that a breach of Sections 4 or 5 by Participant cannot be adequately compensated in an action for damages at law, and equitable relief would be necessary to protect the Company from a violation of this Agreement

5

 

 

 


 

 

and from the harm which this Agreement is intended to prevent. By reason thereof, Participant acknowledges that the Company is entitled, in addition to any other remedies it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, to preliminary and permanent injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent or curtail any breach of this Agreement. Participant acknowledges, however, that no specification in this Agreement of a specific legal or equitable remedy may be construed as a waiver of or prohibition against the Company pursuing other legal or equitable remedies in the event of a breach of this Agreement by Participant. For purposes of Sections 4 and 5, “Company” shall specifically include the Company and its direct and indirect parent entities, subsidiaries, successors and assigns. If Participant fails to comply with a restriction in this Agreement that applies for a limited period of time after employment, the time period for that restriction will be extended by the greater of either: one day for each day Participant is found to have violated the restriction, or the length of the legal proceeding necessary to secure enforcement of the restriction; provided, however, that this extension of time shall be capped so that the extension of time does not exceed two years from the date their employment ended, and if this extension would make the restriction unenforceable under applicable law it will not be applied (“Fairness Extension”). If Participant resides or works in Massachusetts, the Fairness Extension will only apply to the restrictions in Section 5(b) and (c) and will only apply to the non-competition restriction in Section 5(a) if Participant breaches their fiduciary duty and/or has unlawfully taken, physically or electronically, any Company records. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of Section 8 of the Employment Agreement shall apply.

2021 Equity Incentive Plan

 

Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement

This Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made by and between Definitive Healthcare Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Robert Musslewhite (the “Participant”), effective as of May 3, 2022 (the “Date of Grant”).

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Definitive Healthcare Corp. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which is incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to those terms in the Plan (or if not defined in the Plan but in the Employment Agreement, in the Employment Agreement); and

WHEREAS, the Committee has authorized and approved the grant of an Award to the Participant that will provide the Participant the opportunity to receive shares of Common Stock upon the settlement of restricted stock units on the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement (“Restricted Stock Units”).

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants set forth in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

1.
Grant of Award. The Company hereby grants to the Participant, effective as of the Date of Grant, Restricted Stock Units for 125,000 shares of Common Stock at “target” performance (as described on Schedule I) (“Target Shares”), and up to 375,000 shares of Common Stock at “exceptional performance” (as described on Schedule I) (the "Maximum Shares") all of which are subject to performance-based vesting on the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement. The number of shares of Common Stock Participant will receive pursuant to this Agreement, if any, may increase or decrease from the Target Shares based on the Company’s actual performance, but shall not exceed the Maximum Shares. Prior to issuance of any shares of Common Stock, such Restricted Stock Units will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable only from the general assets of the Company.

 

2.
Vesting and Forfeiture. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, the Restricted Stock Units shall vest as follows:

 

(a) General. The Restricted Stock Units shall vest as of the date of the Committee’s determination under Schedule I (the "Vesting Date") based on achievement of the performance targets set forth on Schedule I, subject to the Participant’s continued Service through the Vesting Date, other than as set forth below.

(b) Termination of Service; Breach. Except as set forth in Section 11 of the Employment Agreement between Definitive Healthcare, LLC and the Participant, dated May 4, 2022 (the “Employment Agreement”) and notwithstanding Section 11.3 of the Plan, which shall not apply to this Agreement, upon termination of the Participant’s Service for any other reason or no reason, any then unvested Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited immediately, automatically and without consideration. If the Participant breaches and if such breach is capable of being cured in all material respects, fails to cure in all material respects, Section 5, 6 or 7 of the Employment Agreement, any vested or unvested Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited immediately, automatically and without consideration.

 

3.
Payment

 

(a)
Settlement. The Company shall deliver to the Participant within as soon as administratively practicable following the Vesting Date or the time that Participant becomes entitled to receive shares of Common Stock under Section 11 of the Employment Agreement, as applicable, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units that vested or otherwise became issuable on such date. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be delivered, but shall be delayed until a full share has vested. The Company may deliver such shares either through book entry accounts held by, or in the name of, the Participant or cause to be issued a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares to be issued in respect of the Restricted Stock Units, registered in the name of the Participant.

 

(b)
Withholding Requirements. Unless the Company and the Participant otherwise agree, the Company shall deduct or withhold from any shares of Common Stock deliverable under this Agreement amounts necessary to satisfy all federal, state and local taxes required to be withheld in connection with the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units. In addition, to the extent permitted by the Committee in its sole discretion, subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, withholding may be satisfied through an open-market, broker-assisted sales transaction pursuant to which the Company is promptly delivered the amount of proceeds necessary to satisfy the withholding amount, which shall be subject to any terms and conditions imposed by the Committee. The Company and the Participant may also agree to satisfy some or all of any applicable tax withholding obligations by any means allowable under Section 14 of the Plan.

4.
Non-Disclosure and Non-Use of the Company’s Trade Secrets or Confidential Information

 

(a)
At all times during and following Participant’s Service, Participant agrees that he or she will not, either directly or indirectly, and Participant will not permit any Covered Entity which is Controlled by Participant to, either directly or indirectly, (i) divulge, use, disclose (in any way or in any manner, including by posting on the Internet), reproduce, distribute, or reverse engineer or otherwise provide the Company’s Trade Secrets or Confidential Information to any person, firm, corporation, reporter, author, producer or similar person or entity; (ii) take any action that would make available Trade Secrets or Confidential Information to the general public in any form; (iii) take any action that uses Trade Secrets or Confidential Information to solicit any client or prospective client of the Company; or (iv) take any action that uses Trade Secrets or Confidential Information for solicitation or marketing for any service or product or on Participant’s behalf or on behalf of any entity other than the Company with which Participant may become associated, except (i) as required in connection with the performance of such Participant’s duties to the Company, (ii) as required to be included in any report, statement or testimony requested by any municipal, state or national regulatory body having jurisdiction over Participant or any Covered Entity which is Controlled by Participant, (iii) as required in response to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (iv) to the extent necessary in order to comply with any law, order, regulation, ruling or governmental request applicable to Participant or any Covered Entity which is Controlled by Participant, (v) as required in connection with an audit by any taxing authority, or (vi) as permitted by the express written consent of the Board. In the event that Participant or any such Covered Entity which is Controlled by Participant is required to disclose Trade Secrets or Confidential Information pursuant to the foregoing exceptions, Participant shall promptly notify the Company of such pending disclosure and assist the Company (at the Company’s expense) in seeking a protective order or in objecting to such request, summons or subpoena with regard to the Trade Secrets or Confidential Information. If the Company does not obtain such relief after a period that is reasonable under the circumstances, Participant (or such Covered Entity) may disclose that portion of the Trade Secrets or Confidential Information which counsel to such party advises such party that they are legally compelled to disclose. In such cases, Participant shall promptly provide the Company with a copy of the Trade Secrets or Confidential Information so disclosed. This provision applies without limitation to unauthorized use of Trade Secrets or Confidential Information in any medium, writings of any kind containing such information or materials, including books, and articles, blogs, websites, or writings of any other kind, or film, videotape, or audiotape. If, and only if, the controlling state law applicable to Participant requires a time limit to be placed on restrictions concerning the

3

 

 

 


 

 

post-employment use of Confidential Information for the restriction to be enforceable, then this restriction on Participant’s use of Confidential Information that is not a Trade Secret will expire two (2) years after Participant’s employment or other association with the Company ends. This time limit will not apply to Confidential Information that qualifies as a Trade Secret. The Company’s trade secrets will remain protected for as long as they qualify as trade secrets under applicable law.

 

(b)
Notwithstanding Participant’s confidentiality obligations set forth in this Section 4, Participant understands that, pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Participant shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a Trade Secret that: (i) is made (x) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (y) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Participant understands that in the event it is determined that disclosure of the Trade Secrets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates was not done in good faith pursuant to the above, Participant shall be subject to substantial damages under federal criminal and civil law, including punitive damages and attorneys’ fees.

 

(c)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Agreement shall limit or interfere with Participant’s right, without notice to or authorization of the Company, to communicate and cooperate in good faith with a Government Agency for the purpose of (i) reporting a possible violation of any U.S. federal, state, or local law or regulation, (ii) participating in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted or managed by any Government Agency, including by providing documents or other information, or (iii) filing a charge or complaint with a Government Agency. For purposes of this Agreement, “Government Agency” means the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or any other self-regulatory organization or any other federal, state or local governmental agency or commission.

 

(d)
Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 4, the terms of Section 5 of the Employment Agreement shall apply for purposes of the Participant’s obligations regarding the use or disclosure of the Company’s confidential information and trade secrets.

5.
Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. During the term of Participant’s Service and for 12 months following the termination of Participant’s Service (the “Restricted Period”):

 

(a)
Participant will not, directly or indirectly, individually or as a consultant to, or an Participant, officer, director, manager, stockholder, partner, member or other owner or participant in any business entity (including, without limitation, any competitor of the Company), other than the Company, engage in or assist any other person or entity to engage in any business which competes with any business in which the Company is engaging or the actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the Company (a “Competing Business”), during the Participant’s employment, anywhere in the United States or anywhere else in the world where the Company does business or plans to do business or is considering doing business Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant’s (x) discretionary ownership of less than three percent (3%) and (y) non-discretionary (for example through a mutual fund or other investment vehicle not controlled by Participant) ownership of the outstanding stock of any publicly-traded corporation shall not be deemed a violation of this Section 5(a);

 

(b)
the Participant will not, directly or indirectly, individually or as a consultant to, or an Participant, officer, director, manager, stockholder, partner, member or other owner or participant in any business entity solicit or endeavor to entice away from the Company, endeavor to reduce the amount of business conducted with the Company by or otherwise interfere with the business relationship of the Company with any person or entity who is, or was within the one-year period immediately prior thereto, a customer or client of, supplier, vendor or service provider to, or other party having business relations with the Company; and

 

(c)
the Participant will not, directly or indirectly, individually or as a consultant to, or an Participant, officer, director, manager, stockholder, partner, member or other owner or participant in any business entity solicit or endeavor to entice away from the Company, or offer employment or any consulting arrangement to, or otherwise interfere with the business relationship of the Company with any person or entity who is, or was within the one-year period immediately prior thereto, employed by, associated with or a consultant to the Company.

6.
Enforcement; Remedies. Participant acknowledges that Participant’s expertise in the business of the Company is of a special and unique character which gives this expertise a particular value, and that a breach of Sections 4 or 5 by Participant will cause serious and potentially irreparable harm to the Company. Participant therefore acknowledges that a breach of Sections 4 or 5 by Participant cannot be adequately compensated in an action for damages at law, and equitable relief would be necessary to protect the Company from a violation of this Agreement and from the harm which this Agreement is intended to prevent. By reason thereof, Participant acknowledges that the Company is entitled, in addition to any other remedies it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, to preliminary and permanent injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent or curtail any breach of this Agreement. Participant acknowledges, however, that no specification in this Agreement of a specific legal or equitable remedy may be construed as a waiver of or prohibition against the Company pursuing other legal or equitable remedies in the event of a breach of this Agreement by Participant. For purposes of Sections 4 and 5, “Company” shall specifically include the Company and its direct and indirect parent entities, subsidiaries, successors and assigns. If Participant fails to comply with a restriction in this Agreement that applies for a limited period of time after employment, the time period for that restriction will be extended by the greater of either: one day for each day Participant is found to have violated the restriction, or the length of the legal proceeding necessary to secure enforcement of the restriction; provided, however, that this extension of time shall be capped so that the extension of time does not exceed two years from the date their employment ended, and if this extension would make the restriction unenforceable under applicable law it will not be applied (“Fairness Extension”). If Participant resides or works in Massachusetts, the Fairness Extension will only apply to the restrictions in Section 5(b) and (c) and will only apply to the non-competition restriction in Section 5(a) if Participant breaches their fiduciary duty and/or has unlawfully taken, physically or electronically, any Company records. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of Section 8 of the Employment Agreement shall apply.

SCHEDULE I

 

 

Performance Targets

 

The Restricted Stock Units shall vest based upon achievement of total shareholder return (“TSR”) of the Company relative to the TSR of the Peer Group (defined below) between January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2024 (the “Performance Period”).

 

Performance levels & vesting: Performance levels and vesting will be determined by the Committee based on a percentile ranking of the Company's TSR as compared to the TSR of the Peer Group. The Company’s TSR shall be compared to the TSR for each of the entities within the Peer Group for the Performance Period. The results shall be ranked from highest to lowest TSR (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest whole percentile by application of regular rounding) to determine the Company’s relative TSR percentile ranking (the “Relative TSR Percentile”) compared to the Peer Group. Vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, if any, shall occur as of the last day of the Performance Period and shall be determined based on the Relative TSR Percentile as follows:

Performance Levels

Relative TSR Percentile

Vesting Percentage

Threshold

50th percentile

50%

Target

60th percentile

100%

Exceptional

75th percentile

200%

Superior

90th percentile

300%

 

The Vesting Percentage for Relative TSR Percentiles between two adjacent performance levels shall be determined by straight line interpolation. The Committee will make the determination of vesting after the Performance Period and prior settlement of the Restricted Stock Units.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company’s absolute total shareholder return is negative at the end of the Performance Period (irrespective of relative performance outcomes), vesting shall be capped at the Target level (100%). Except as set forth in Section 11 of the Employment Agreement, any Restricted Stock Units that do not vest as of the Vesting Date shall be forfeited automatically and without consideration.

Calculating TSR:

TSR = (Ending Stock Price – Beginning Stock Price + Cumulative Cash Dividend Payments)

_____________________________________

(Beginning Stock Price)

 

o
Ending Stock Price” shall mean the average of the closing prices of the applicable stock for the 20 trading days up to and including the last day of the Performance Period.

12

 


 

 

o
Beginning Stock Price” shall mean the average of the closing prices of the applicable stock for the 20 trading days starting on and including the first day of the Performance Period.
o
Cumulative Cash Dividend Payments” shall mean the sum of all cash dividends declared during the Performance Period, at the closing price on the ex-dividend date.
o
The value of any Peer Company shares traded on a foreign exchange will be converted to U.S. dollars using the then applicable spot rate.
Peer Group” means a subset of the NASDAQ Software & Services Index isolated to the Application Software and Healthcare Technology GICS Industry codes as of the end of the Performance Period (with each company in the Peer Group referred to as a “Peer Company”). The Committee may modify the Peer Group as follows:
a.
The Committee may, in its sole discretion, add Application Software and Healthcare Technology (as defined by their GICS Industry code) companies that become publicly traded and have been included in the NASDAQ Software & Services Index during the Performance Period;
b.
In the event of a merger, acquisition or business combination transaction of a Peer Company with or by another Peer Company, the surviving entity shall remain a Peer Company if they continue to be included in the NASDAQ Software & Services Index.
c.
In the event of a merger of a Peer Company with an entity that is not a Peer Company, or the acquisition or business combination transaction by or with a Peer Company, or with an entity that is not a Peer Company, in each case where the Peer Company is the surviving entity and remains publicly traded, the surviving entity shall remain a Peer Company if they continue to be included in the NASDAQ Software & Services Index.
d.
In the event of a merger or acquisition or business combination transaction of a Peer Company by or with an entity that is not a Peer Company, a “going private” transaction involving a Peer Company or the liquidation of a Peer Company, where the Peer Company is not the surviving entity or is otherwise no longer publicly traded, the company shall no longer be a Peer Company.
e.
In the event of a bankruptcy of a Peer Company, such company shall remain a Peer Company if they continue to be included in the NASDAQ Software & Services Index.
f.
In the event a Peer Company’s GICS Industry code changes from Application Software or Healthcare Technology and/or the Peer Company is no longer included in the NASDAQ Software & Services Index, such company shall no longer be a Peer Company.
g.
In the event of a stock distribution from a Peer Company consisting of the shares of a new publicly-traded company (a “spin-off”), the Peer Company shall remain a Peer Company if they continue to be included in the NASDAQ Software & Services Index and the stock distribution shall be treated as a dividend from the Peer Company (as described above). The performance of the shares of the spun-off company shall not thereafter be tracked for purposes of calculating TSR.

13

 


 

 

h.
In the event that a company is included as a Peer Company for a portion, but not all, of the Performance Period, the weighting for such company shall be prorated for the portion of the Performance Period for which such company was a Peer Company.

 

The Committee shall make all determinations under this Schedule I using a reasonable business judgment standard and such determinations shall be final and binding on all parties.
