Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to reporting certain financial information in accordance with GAAP, TRHC is also reporting gross profit, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted cost of revenue, adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating income (loss), and adjusted net income (loss), in each case from continuing operations, which are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance or financial position that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. TRHC presents adjusted EBITDA and the other non-GAAP financial measures in this release because it considers each of them to be an important supplemental measure of performance. TRHC also intends to provide adjusted EBITDA and the other non-GAAP financial measures in this release as part of the Company's future earnings discussions and, therefore, their inclusion should provide consistency in the Company's financial reporting.
Adjusted EBITDA consists of net income (loss) plus certain other expenses, which include interest expense, provision for income tax, depreciation and amortization, change in fair value of contingent consideration receivable, impairment charges, business optimization expense, severance costs, executive transition costs, settlement costs, divestiture-related expense, transformation-related expense, stock-based compensation expense, and net loss on divestiture of businesses. TRHC considers business optimization expense to include employee and non-recurring vendor costs incurred related to its business optimization initiatives during 2022. TRHC considers severance costs to include severance costs related to the realignment of its resources. TRHC considers executive transition costs to include nonrecurring costs related to the hiring and onboarding of new named executive officers. TRHC considers settlement costs to include amounts payable by TRHC or reductions to amounts owed to TRHC as a result of a contractual settlement. TRHC considers divestiture-related expense to include non-recurring direct transaction costs. TRHC considers transformation-related expense to include non-recurring advisory fees incurred to assess a variety of strategic opportunities to increase shareholder value. TRHC considers net loss on divestiture of businesses to include the non-recurring net loss resulting from the sales of the DoseMe and SinfoníaRx businesses. TRHC uses adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes, including analysis of the Company's performance against prior periods, the preparation of operating budgets and determination of appropriate levels of operating and capital investments. TRHC believes that adjusted EBITDA provides additional insight for analysts and investors in evaluating the Company's financial and operational performance.
TRHC defines adjusted cost of revenue as cost of revenue as presented on the consolidated statements of operations less those certain other expenses which are added to operating income (loss) in calculating adjusted operating income (loss) (as described below), including stock-based compensation expense and such other expenses, in each case to the extent that they are included in cost of revenue. TRHC believes adjusted cost of revenue provides analysts and investors more accurate information regarding the actual cost of products and services provided by TRHC, excluding the impact of certain non-cash charges like stock-based compensation expense, and costs of revenue that are not recurring components of its core medication and technology-enabled solutions costs, for better comparability of its cost of revenue between periods.
TRHC defines gross profit as total revenue less total cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) as presented on the consolidated statements of operations. TRHC defines gross margin as gross profit as a percentage of total revenue. TRHC defines adjusted gross profit as total revenue less total cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) as presented on the consolidated statements of operations, excluding the impact of those certain other expenses which are added to operating income (loss) in calculating adjusted operating income (loss) (as described below), including stock-based compensation expense and such other expenses, in each case to the extent that they are included in cost of revenue. TRHC defines adjusted gross margin as adjusted gross profit as a percentage of total revenue. TRHC believes adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin provide analysts and investors more accurate information regarding its core profit margin on sales, excluding the impact of certain non-cash charges like stock-based compensation expense, and costs of revenue that are not recurring components of its core medication and technology-enabled solutions costs, for better comparability of gross profit between periods.
TRHC defines adjusted operating expenses as operating expenses as presented on the consolidated statements of operations plus or minus (as applicable) the impact those expenses added or subtracted from operating income (loss) in calculating adjusted operating income (loss), in each case to the extent they are included in operating expense. TRHC believes adjusted operating expenses provide analysts and investors more accurate information regarding its core operating expenses, which include research and development costs, sales and marketing costs, general and administrative costs, depreciation of property and equipment, and amortization of software development costs, excluding the impact of certain non-cash charges like amortization of intangible assets acquired in prior business acquisitions and stock-based compensation expense, and charges that are not recurring components of its core operating expenses, for better comparability between periods.
TRHC defines adjusted operating income (loss) as operating income (loss) plus or minus (as applicable) amortization of acquired intangibles, change in fair value of contingent consideration receivable, impairment charges, business optimization expense, severance costs, executive transition costs, divestiture-related expense, transformation-related expense, and stock-based compensation expense. The items included in the calculation of adjusted EBITDA are determined in calculating adjusted operating income (loss) in the same manner. TRHC believes adjusted operating income (loss) provides analysts and investors more accurate information regarding its core operating income (loss), excluding the impact of certain non-cash charges like amortization of intangible assets acquired in prior business acquisitions and stock-based compensation expense, and charges that are not recurring components of its core operating expenses, for better comparability between periods.
TRHC defines adjusted net income (loss) as net income (loss) plus or minus (as applicable) the impact of those expenses added or subtracted from operating income (loss) in calculating adjusted operating income (loss) along with the impact of amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, and the tax impact of all those items using an effective statutory tax rate on pre-tax income (loss) adjusted for those items. TRHC believes adjusted net income (loss) provides analysts and investors more accurate information regarding its core income (loss), excluding the impact of certain non-cash charges like amortization of intangible assets acquired in prior business acquisitions and stock-based compensation expense, and charges that are not recurring components of its core product and service costs or core operating expenses, for better comparability between periods.
In addition to the reasons given above for providing each of the non-GAAP financial measures included herein, TRHC believes each of these non-GAAP financials measures provides analysts and investors more accurate information for better comparability to other companies, although such other companies may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than TRHC.
Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted cost of revenue, adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating income (loss), and adjusted net income (loss) to the most directly comparable GAAP measures provided in the accompanying tables.
