Cerner Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2010 Results
Strong Bookings, Revenue, Earnings and Cash Flow
Strong Bookings, Revenue, Earnings and Cash Flow
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Feb. 8, 2011 Cerner Corporation (Nasdaq: CERN) today announced results
for the 2010 fourth quarter that ended Jan. 1, 2011, delivering strong levels of bookings, revenue,
earnings and cash flow.
Bookings in the fourth quarter of 2010 were $626.2 million, significantly above the guidance range
of $490 million to $530 million and second only to the all-time high level of $680.4 million in the
fourth quarter of 2009. Full year 2010 bookings were a record $1.99 billion, up 9% compared to
2009 bookings of $1.83 billion.
Fourth quarter revenue was $500.2 million, up 7 percent compared to $466.3 million in the year-ago
period. Full year 2010 revenue was $1.85 billion, up 11% compared to 2009 revenue of $1.67 billion.
On a Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) basis, fourth quarter 2010 net earnings were
$70.6 million and diluted earnings per share were $0.82. Fourth quarter 2009 GAAP net earnings
were $60.5 million and diluted earnings per share were $0.71. For the full year, 2010 GAAP net
earnings were $237.3 million and diluted earnings per share were $2.78. Full year 2009 GAAP net
earnings were $193.5 million and diluted earnings per share were $2.31.
Adjusted (non-GAAP) Earnings
Adjusted fourth quarter 2010 net earnings were $75.0 million, an increase of 18 percent compared to
$63.4 million of adjusted net earnings in the fourth quarter of 2009. Adjusted diluted earnings
per share were $0.87 in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to $0.75 of adjusted diluted earnings
per share in the fourth quarter of 2009. Analysts consensus estimate for fourth quarter 2010
adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.84. For the full year 2010, adjusted net earnings were
$252.8 million and adjusted diluted earnings per share were $2.96, compared to full year 2009
adjusted net earnings of $204.0 million and adjusted diluted earnings per share of $2.43.
Adjusted Net Earnings is not a recognized term under GAAP and should not be substituted for net
earnings as a measure of the Companys performance but instead should be utilized as a supplemental
measure of financial performance in evaluating our business. Following is a description of
adjustments made to net earnings. For more detail, please see the accompanying schedule, titled
Reconciliation of Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share to GAAP Net
Earnings and Diluted Earnings Per Share.
Adjusted fourth quarter 2010 and 2009 net earnings and diluted earnings per share exclude share
based compensation expense, which reduced fourth quarter 2010 net earnings and diluted earnings per
share by $4.3 million and $0.05, respectively, and reduced fourth quarter 2009 net earnings and
diluted earnings per share by $2.9 million and $0.04, respectively. Share based compensation
expense reduced full year 2010 net earnings and diluted earnings per share by $15.6 million and
$0.18, respectively, and reduced full year 2009 net earnings and diluted earnings per share by
$10.6 million and $0.12, respectively.
Other Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2010 Highlights:
| Fourth quarter cash collections of $497.6 million and operating cash flow of $121.7 million. For the full year, cash collections were $1.90 billion and operating cash flow was $456.4 million. | ||
| Fourth quarter free cash flow of $75.6 million. For the full year, free cash flow was a record $273.2 million, up 98% from $138.3 million in 2009. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as operating cash flow less capital expenditures and capitalized software. For more detail, please see the accompanying schedule, titled Reconciliation of GAAP Operating Cash Flow to non-GAAP Free Cash Flow. | ||
| Days sales outstanding of 87 days compared to 91 days in the third quarter of 2010 and 90 days in the year-ago quarter. |
| Total revenue backlog of $4.94 billion, up 17 percent over the year-ago quarter. This is comprised of $4.29 billion of contract backlog and $655 million of support and maintenance backlog. |
We are pleased with our exceptional results in the fourth quarter and full-year 2010, including
record cash flow and strong bookings, revenue and earnings, said Neal Patterson, Cerner chairman,
CEO, president and co-founder. Our results reflect strong performance in what we believe is the
beginning of a multi-year period of increased demand for our solutions and services driven by
stimulus, healthcare reform, and other regulatory requirements, such as ICD-10 codes, that will
require healthcare providers to make IT investments to operate effectively in the increasingly
complex healthcare industry. During the year, we also made great progress at rolling out new
services, such as Cerner ITWorksSM and Cerner RevWorksSM,
that we believe will be major contributors to growth in coming years, and we introduced our Healthe
Intent platform, a cloud-based platform that will serve as the foundation for many future
offerings, Patterson said.
Future Period Guidance
Cerner currently expects:
| First quarter 2011 revenue between $475 million and $490 million. | ||
| First quarter 2011 adjusted diluted earnings per share before share based compensation expense between $0.73 and $0.77. | ||
| First quarter 2011 new business bookings between $435 million and $465 million. | ||
