Cerner Reports Third Quarter 2011 Results

Record Revenue, Bookings, Earnings and Cash Flow

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — October 27, 2011 — Cerner Corporation (Nasdaq: CERN) today announced results for the 2011 third quarter that ended October 1, 2011, delivering record levels of bookings, revenue, earnings and cash flow.

Bookings in the third quarter of 2011 were $650.3 million, an increase of 31 percent compared to third quarter 2010 bookings of $495.7 million. Bookings were an all-time high for a third quarter and the second highest result in company history.

Third quarter revenue was $571.6 million, an increase of 24 percent compared to $462.7 million in the year-ago period.

On a Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) basis, third quarter 2011 net earnings were $78.8 million and diluted earnings per share were $0.45. Third quarter 2010 GAAP net earnings were $60.9 million and diluted earnings per share were $0.36.

The number of shares and the per share amounts for all periods presented within reflect the two-for-one stock split effective June 24, 2011.

Adjusted (non-GAAP) Earnings

Adjusted third quarter 2011 net earnings were $83.5 million, an increase of 28 percent compared to $65.0 million of adjusted net earnings in the third quarter of 2010. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.48 in the third quarter of 2011 compared to $0.38 of adjusted diluted earnings per share in the year-ago quarter. Analysts’ consensus estimate for third quarter 2011 adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.47.

Adjusted Net Earnings is not a recognized term under GAAP and should not be substituted for net earnings as a measure of the Company’s 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 third quarter 2011 and 2010 net earnings and diluted earnings per share exclude share-based compensation expense, which reduced third quarter 2011 net earnings and diluted earnings per share by $4.6 million and $0.03, respectively, and reduced third quarter 2010 net earnings and diluted earnings per share by $4.1 million and $0.02, respectively.

Other Third Quarter Highlights:

“We delivered strong results in Q3, including outstanding bookings, revenue, earnings, and cash flow performance,” said Neal Patterson, Cerner chairman, CEO, president and co-founder. “We continue to see a high level of interest in our broad suite of solutions and services, which is reflected in the record attendance at our recent Cerner Health Conference, as health care providers recognize the need to leverage information technology in order to meet upcoming regulatory requirements. Additionally, providers are looking to cloud-based platforms, such as Cerner Healthe Intent^™, that leverage EHR data to improve quality while controlling the cost of care. We believe Cerner remains well positioned to continue benefitting from demand driven by stimulus and the changing landscape of health care as we strengthen our alignment with our clients around the world,” Patterson said.
