Premier Revenue by Segment

Forward Guidance

Premier Inc. updated its full-year fiscal 2020 financial guidance, anticipating growth in Supply Chain Services segment revenue and a decline in Performance Services segment revenue. Consolidated net revenue is expected to increase, and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and fully distributed EPS are affirmed.

Positive Outlook

  • Supply Chain Services segment revenue is expected to increase to a range of $895.0 million to $930.0 million, indicating anticipated year-over-year growth of 5% to 9%.
  • Net administrative fees and products revenue are projected to have stronger-than-previously-anticipated growth, with year-over-year growth at 2% to 6% percent and 11% to 15%, respectively.
  • Consolidated net revenue is expected to increase to a range of $1,235.0 billion to $1,284.0 billion, reflecting anticipated year-over-year growth of 1% to 5%, due to the anticipated strong Supply Chain Services segment revenue growth.
  • Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is affirmed at $566.0 million to $589.0 million, indicating anticipated year-over-year growth of 1% to 5%.
  • Non-GAAP adjusted fully distributed earnings per share is affirmed at $2.76 to $2.89, indicating anticipated year-over-year growth of 4% to 9%.

Challenges Ahead

  • Performance Services segment revenue is expected to decrease to a range of $340.0 million-to-$354.0 million, indicating an anticipated year-over-year decline of 2% to 6%.
  • The decline in Performance Services is resulting from expected slower-than-planned growth in the segment’s technology and consulting businesses.
  • The decline in Performance Services is resulting from the slow ramp up of the company’s Contigo direct-to-employer, high-value care network initiative.
  • Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA guidance range incorporates the expected negative impact of $11.0 million to $13.0 million due to expenses associated with the Acurity and Nexera acquisitions.
  • Non-GAAP adjusted fully distributed earnings per share guidance range incorporates the expected negative impact of $0.05 to $0.08 associated with the Acurity and Nexera acquisitions.
