Forward guidance

Premier expects to deliver results generally within its full-year guidance range, subject to the ultimate impact of COVID-19, which they expect to pressure profitability in the fourth quarter even as they experience positive net revenue trends.

Tailwinds

  • Supply Chain Services segment revenue is expected to perform at or above the top end of the current range of $895.0 million to $930.0 million for the fiscal year, driven by strong gains in direct sourcing revenue from COVID-19-related efforts.
  • Consolidated revenue is projected to be in the upper end of the current range of $1.235 billion to $1.284 billion.
  • Strong gains in direct sourcing revenue from ongoing COVID-19-related efforts to secure certain personal protective equipment and other high-demand supplies.
  • Solid balance sheet, ample liquidity and strong free cash flow give the financial flexibility to continue creating value for members and stockholders.
  • Management will continue to assess the course of the pandemic and evaluate additional trends and data to inform its approach for establishing fiscal 2021 guidance.

Headwinds

  • Performance Services segment revenue is expected to be at the low end of the current range of $340.0 million to $354.0 million, due to pressure on new and existing consulting and technology engagements.
  • Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is anticipated to be near or potentially a few million dollars below the low end of the current range of $566.0 million to $589.0 million.
  • Non-GAAP adjusted fully distributed earnings per share is expected to be near or potentially a few cents below the low end of the current range of $2.76 to $2.89.
  • Anticipated softness in net administrative fees revenue due to the pandemic-induced interruption of elective procedures, lower overall occupancy and utilization and the slowdown of alternate site spending in non-healthcare related areas.
  • Performance Services revenues will be further pressured by delays in consulting and technology projects as healthcare providers focus on the pandemic.
