Financial Impact of Adopting ASC 606
The chart below on page
nine under the heading of “Impact of Adoption of ASC 606” sets forth
what the revenues, operating income, net income from continuing
operations, adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, and non-GAAP
operating income for the first quarter of 2018 would have been if the
prior revenue recognition standard were applied (ASC 605).
2018 Events
On
Financial Outlook for 2018
The Company adopted the new
revenue recognition standard (ASC 606) utilizing the modified
retrospective approach effective
The historical financial results of the PX business for periods prior to
the closing of this transaction are now reflected in the Company’s
consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations.
Accordingly, this financial outlook for 2018 is for continuing
operations only and does not include (a) the gain on the sale of our PX
business, which we completed on
The Company presented its original 2018 guidance utilizing ASC 605. We are continuing to present 2018 guidance this quarter utilizing ASC 605 to provide continuity with our guidance provided last quarter. In addition, we are supplementing this guidance utilizing ASC 605 with 2018 guidance utilizing ASC 606 in light of the fact that our 2018 results are now being presented under ASC 606. In the case of both ASC 605 and ASC 606 2018 guidance, the 2017 results against which 2018 guidance is being compared on a percentage comparative basis are based on our 2017 results under ASC 605 as described above.
For 2018 we continue to anticipate that consolidated revenues will increase six to eight percent as compared to 2017. We continue to anticipate that revenue growth in our Workforce Solutions segment will be in the four to six percent range and our Provider Solutions segment to grow 10 to 20 percent when compared to 2017. We believe that these revenue guidance ranges are applicable under both ASC 605 and ASC 606.
We continue to anticipate operating income for 2018 to increase between 20 and 30 percent as compared to 2017 under ASC 605. Under ASC 606 we anticipate that operating income will increase between 25 percent and 40 percent. The primary reason for the different ranges pertains to the capitalization of commissions under ASC 606, which has the impact of deferring commissions over an extended period versus its current period expense treatment under ASC 605.
We continue to anticipate that capital expenditures will be

This guidance does not include the impact of any acquisitions that we may complete during 2018.
A conference call with
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP operating income, adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, and adjusted EBITDA, which are used by management in analyzing the Company’s financial results and ongoing operational performance.
In order to better assess the Company’s financial results, management believes that net income before interest, income taxes, share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”) is a useful measure for evaluating the operating performance of the Company because adjusted EBITDA reflects net income adjusted for certain non-cash and non-operating items. Management also believes that adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is a useful measure for evaluating the operating performance of the Company because such measure excludes the results of operations of the PX business that we no longer own and thus reflects the Company’s ongoing business operations and assists in comparing the Company’s results of operations between periods. We also believe that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations are also useful to many investors to assess the Company’s ongoing results from current operations. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered as measures of financial performance under GAAP. Because adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations are not measurements determined in accordance with GAAP, such non-GAAP financial measures are susceptible to varying calculations. Accordingly, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
In recent years, the Company has acquired businesses whose net tangible assets include deferred revenue. In accordance with GAAP reporting requirements, following the completion of any such acquisition, the Company may record a write-down of deferred revenue to fair value as defined by GAAP. If the Company is required to record a write-down of deferred revenue, it may result in lower recognized revenue, operating income, and net income in subsequent periods.
In connection therewith, this release presents below non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP net income, which in each case reflects the corresponding GAAP figures adjusted to exclude the impact of the deferred revenue write-down associated with fair value accounting for acquired businesses as referenced above. Management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures assists investors in understanding the Company’s performance between periods, excluding the impact of this deferred revenue write-down, and provides a useful measure of the ongoing performance of the Company. Both on a quarterly and year-to-date basis, the revenue for any acquired business is deferred and typically recognized over a one-to-two year period following the completion of an acquisition, so our GAAP revenues for this one-to-two year period will not reflect the full amount of revenues that would have been reported if the acquired deferred revenue had not been written down to fair value.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance, which are prepared in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of our GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures, which are set forth below in this release.
