ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 6, 2009--Eclipsys Corporation® (NASDAQ: ECLP), The Outcomes Company®, today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009.

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 were $130.2 million, compared to revenues of $124.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.

GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2009 was $0.9 million, or $0.02 per diluted common share, compared to net income of $0.3 million, or $0.01 per diluted common share for the first quarter of 2008.

Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2009 was $9.6 million, or $0.17 per diluted common share, compared to first quarter 2008 non-GAAP net income of $8.1 million, or $0.15 per diluted common share.

Non-GAAP net income excludes stock-based compensation expense, acquisition related amortization, and certain additional items that the company does not consider to be indicative of its underlying business performance. For first quarter 2008, these additional items were costs associated with the relocation of the corporate headquarters from Boca Raton, FL to Atlanta, GA, the derivative litigation that was ultimately settled in September 2008, and a change in the company’s estimate for uncertainties in income taxes, as well as a gain resulting from completion of post-closing milestones associated with the sale of the Clinical Practice Model Resource Center business, which was completed in December 2007. For first quarter 2009, these additional items were costs associated with the previously announced reduction in our professional services capacity to reflect current and projected business volume and other staff reductions and severance obligations incurred in the quarter, as well as the effect of the purchase accounting adjustments in connection with the acquisition of Premise Corporation.

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is included in the attached tables.

“We are pleased to complete a good first quarter in the face of fluid market conditions,” said R. Andrew Eckert, Eclipsys president and chief executive officer. “Over the past several weeks, we have observed an increase in client and prospect activity related to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). We are excited that ARRA is accelerating demand for healthcare information technology solutions and have several ongoing initiatives to help ensure we are well positioned to take advantage of this opportunity.”

Eclipsys executives will discuss the first-quarter results on a teleconference scheduled for 4:30 p.m. Eastern time on May 6. Persons interested in participating in the teleconference should call (800) 230-1092 approximately 15 minutes before the conference call is slated to begin.

The company has provided net income and earnings per share financial measures on a non-GAAP basis for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008, which exclude non-cash stock-based compensation expenses, amortization expense associated with acquisitions, and certain additional items that the company does not consider to be indicative of its underlying business performance, as listed on the attached GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation tables. Because of the significance of the GAAP components excluded, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, any measure derived in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may also be inconsistent with the manner in which similar measures are derived or used by other companies. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provided, when considered in conjunction with comparable GAAP financial measures, facilitate the understanding and evaluation of the company’s operating performance and future prospects, as well as comparisons of the company’s results with its prior period results that did not include these gains and/or charges, and with results of other companies on a more consistent basis. For example, omitting the stock-based compensation expense facilitates review by the majority of the company’s analysts, who model the company’s earnings excluding stock-based compensation charges. Internally, management uses non-GAAP net income and earnings for forecasting and to help make management decisions, as an indicator of business performance, and to evaluate management’s effectiveness and help determine bonuses for management and others.

The economic substance of omitting non-cash stock-based compensation expense in presenting non-GAAP earnings derives from providing investors with consistent measures of performance both before and after including non-cash stock-based compensation charges. The economic substance of omitting the other items incurred that the company does not consider to be indicative of its underlying business performance derives from the fact that such episodic gains and/or charges make it more difficult to compare operating results of different periods, not all of which include such gains and/or charges. However, the omission of non-cash stock-based compensation expense may mask an economic cost incurred by the company in connection with stock-based compensation, and the omission of the charges related to the company’s other non-GAAP adjustments may mask actual and expected future costs associated with such matters. Management compensates for these limitations by using both the GAAP and non-GAAP measures.

Certain statements in this news release or the investor call referenced herein, including those concerning the company’s first quarter 2009 financial results, operational initiatives, future performance expectations, and effects of economic conditions are forward-looking statements and actual results may differ materially from those projected or implied by the forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks and uncertainties. Future performance expectations are predicated upon achievement of various sales and performance targets that may be difficult to meet. Economic conditions are unstable and may cause hospitals and other healthcare providers to curtail HIT system spending. Eclipsys’ cost reduction and other initiatives in response to the challenging economic environment may not be effective, and it is difficult to predict what the company may be able to achieve. Eclipsys sales may be slower than expected due to market conditions, competition, and other factors. Costs may be greater than anticipated due to the potential need to increase spending to ensure performance in accordance with commitments to clients and other factors. Software development may take longer and cost more than expected, and incorporation of anticipated features and functionality may be delayed, due to various factors including programming and integration challenges and resource constraints. The market is highly competitive. Implementation and customization of Eclipsys software is complex and time-consuming. Results depend upon a variety of factors and can vary by client. Each client’s circumstances are unique and may include unforeseen issues that make it more difficult than anticipated to implement or derive benefit from software, implementation or consulting services. The success and timeliness of the company’s services will depend at least in part upon client involvement, which can be difficult to control. Eclipsys is required to meet specified performance standards, and clients can terminate contracts, assess penalties or reduce contract scope under certain circumstances. More information about company risks is available in recent Form 10-K and other filings made by Eclipsys from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Special attention is directed to the portions of those documents entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
