Premier Inc., listed on NASDAQ as PINC, is a technology-driven healthcare improvement company that collaborates with a network of hospitals and healthcare providers to enhance healthcare delivery and reduce costs through data analytics, supply chain solutions, and consulting services.
In its fiscal-year 2025 first-quarter earnings report, Premier Inc. announced that it slightly exceeded its revenue and profitability expectations. The company reaffirmed its financial guidance for the year despite an 8% decline in net revenue compared to the previous year, largely due to divestitures.
Key financial metrics from the quarter include a 75% increase in net income from continuing operations, reaching $72.9 million, attributed to a derivative lawsuit settlement. However, adjusted EBITDA fell by 33% to $62.4 million, impacted by decreased net administrative fees and investments in supply chain co-management. The company’s adjusted earnings per share decreased to $0.34 from $0.47 in the prior-year period.
Despite these mixed results, Premier continued to return capital to shareholders, executing share repurchases and paying dividends. The company remains committed to its strategic goals, including the ongoing divestiture of the Contigo Health business.
Looking ahead, Premier Inc. maintains a cautiously optimistic outlook for fiscal 2025, expecting continued growth in certain segments and reaffirming its financial guidance ranges, which underscore its strategic focus on long-term healthcare improvement initiatives.
