The company also incurred modest expenses in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.Non-GAAP Adjusted diluted EPS decreased to $0.01 from $0.10 a year ago.As part of our previously communicated reorganization, as of January 1, 2020, we operate through two business segments, CareVention (i.e. PACE) HealthCare and MedWise HealthCare, the latter encompassing our payer, pharmacy and provider-focused businesses.CareVention HealthCare revenue increased 15% to $48.7 million driven by organic growth.MedWise HealthCare revenue increased 29% to $24.2 million, driven by the acquisition of PrescribeWellness.Bookings, based on Annualized Recurring Revenue, or ARR, increased more than 102% compared to any quarter during 2019 due to key new business relationships with Health Mart, MODA Health Plan, WellCare, and two of the top ten health plans.Our overall sales pipeline as of May 1, 2020, is 49% higher vs. January 1, 2020 with the number of aggregate sales opportunities up 68%.Full year 2020 guidance remains unchanged.“I am proud of the actions we have taken as a company to keep our team members safe, well informed, and engaged during these challenging times, all while continuing to deliver for our clients and execute on our long-term vision. We are particularly excited about the proactive role we are taking with the current pandemic through our scientific research efforts and support of COVID-19 testing at our nationwide network of community pharmacies, as well as the growing recognition of the important role pharmacists are playing under new federal and state legislative actions,” said TRHC Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and Founder Calvin H. Knowlton, PhD.Dr. Knowlton continued, “During 2019, we made significant investments in our sales and marketing organization and I am pleased to report we have begun to benefit from these investments with a record number of bookings in the first quarter. Our performance was driven by our MedWise HealthCare business segment and specifically, important pharmacy wins at Health Mart and with a large pharmacy chain, as well as a number of exciting new relationships including WellCare, MODA Health Plan and two of the top ten largest plans in the United States. We signed a multi-year enterprise license agreement with Health Mart, the nation’s largest independent pharmacy franchise with more than 5,000 members. We plan to share more about this expanded relationship in the coming months.”First Quarter 2020 ResultsAll comparisons, unless otherwise noted, are to the three months ended March 31, 2019.Total revenue – Total revenue increased 19% to $72.8 million, near the high end of our guidance range of $68.5 million to $73.5 million for the first quarter of 2020. Total revenue included product revenue of $37.1 million, an increase of 20% and service revenue of $35.7 million, an increase of 19%. On an organic basis, adjusting for the March 2019 acquisition of PrescribeWellness®, total revenue increased 9% while service revenue remained flat due to changes in CMS Star Ratings and the front-loading of work in anticipation of a large year-end contract.
Total revenue by segment – CareVention HealthCare™ revenue increased 15% to $48.7 million, comprised of $37.1 million of PACE product revenue (a 20% increase compared to a year ago) and $11.6 million of PACE solutions revenue (a 4% increase compared to a year ago). MedWise HealthCare revenue increased 29% to $24.2 million, comprised of $14.3 million (a 7% decrease compared to a year ago) of medication safety services and $9.8 million (a 185% increase compared to a year ago) of software subscriptions, the latter driven by the acquisition of PrescribeWellness. On an organic basis, MedWise HealthCare total revenue declined by 4% compared to a year ago with software subscriptions increasing 7%. MedWise medication safety services was negatively impacted by the above cited CMS Star Ratings and the front-loading of work in anticipation of a large year-end contract, resulting in a lower number of clinical interventions in the first quarter of 2020.
Gross margin – Gross margin, excluding depreciation and amortization expense, was 34.0% compared to 31.6% a year ago. Product gross margin increased from 24.2% to 26.7%, benefiting from our transition to a new prime vendor, and service gross margin increased 39.3% to 42.0%, benefiting from our PrescribeWellness acquisition and growing mix of high-margin software subscriptions revenue. Software-related revenue, largely comprised of software subscriptions, represented 19% of total revenue as compared with 12% a year ago.
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA – Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA of $4.8 million, near the high end of our guidance range of $4.0 million to $5.0 million for the first quarter of 2020, decreased 16% compared to $5.7 million a year ago, due to higher operating investments in the first quarter of 2020 to drive future growth. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 6.6% compared to 9.3% a year ago.
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA by segment – Excluding $9.7 million of shared services allocated to corporate, CareVention HealthCare non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA of $11.7 million (24.1% margin) increased 11% compared to $10.6 million (25.2% margin) a year ago. MedWise HealthCare non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA of $2.8 million (11.7% margin) increased 72% compared to $1.6 million (8.8% margin) a year ago due to staffing efficiencies and higher member engagement.
GAAP Net loss – Net loss was $14.4 million compared to a net loss of $11.0 million a year ago. The primary factors contributing to the net loss were stock-based compensation expense of $7.1 million (up from $6.9 million), depreciation and amortization of $9.9 million (up from $6.3 million), and interest expense of $4.6 million (up from $2.7 million).
GAAP EPS – Net loss per diluted share of $0.68 compared to $0.54 a year ago. The net loss per share calculations were based on a diluted share count of 21.4 million for the first quarter of 2020, compared to 20.4 million for the same period a year ago.
Non-GAAP EPS – Non-GAAP Adjusted net income per diluted share, or Adjusted Diluted EPS, was $0.01 as compared to $0.10 a year ago. The net income per share calculations were based on a diluted share count of 23.3 million for the first quarter of 2020, compared to 22.9 million for the same period a year ago.
Cash – Unrestricted cash at the end of the first quarter was $38.1 million as compared to $42.5 million at the end of 2019. The decrease in cash was driven by net cash used in operating activities of less than $1.0 million and capitalized software of $4.2 million compared to $2.6 million a year ago. No amounts were drawn on our $60 million line of credit.A reconciliation of generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States to non-GAAP results has been provided in this press release in the accompanying tables. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”Financial OutlookOur guidance is based on current market conditions and our expectations as of today.

In addition to reporting all financial information required in accordance with GAAP, TRHC is also reporting gross margin excluding depreciation and amortization expense, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS, each of which is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance or financial position that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.Gross margin is calculated as total revenue minus total cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation and amortization (as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations), as a percentage of total revenue. Product margin is calculated as product revenue minus cost of product revenue, exclusive of depreciation and amortization (as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations), as a percentage of product revenue. Service margin is calculated as service revenue minus cost of service revenue, exclusive of depreciation and amortization (as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations), as a percentage of service revenue.Adjusted EBITDA consists of net income or loss excluding certain other expenses, which includes interest expense, provision (benefit) for income tax, depreciation and amortization, change in fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration (income) expense, acquisition-related expense and stock-based compensation expense. TRHC defines Adjusted Diluted EPS as net income or loss before fair value adjustments for acquisition-related contingent consideration, amortization of acquired intangibles, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, acquisition-related expense, stock-based compensation expense, and the tax impact of using a normalized tax rate on pre-tax income adjusted for those items expressed on a per share basis using weighted average diluted shares outstanding. TRHC considers acquisition-related expense to include non-recurring direct transaction and integration costs, severance, and the impact of purchase accounting adjustments related to the fair value of acquired deferred revenue. TRHC believes the exclusion of these items assists in providing a more complete understanding of the company’s underlying operations results and trends and allows for comparability with TRHC’s peer company index and industry and to be more consistent with TRHC’s expected capital structure on a going forward basis. Please note that other companies might define their non-GAAP financial measures differently than TRHC does.TRHC presents these non-GAAP financial measures in this release because it considers them to be important supplemental measures of performance. TRHC uses these non-GAAP financial measures for planning purposes, including analysis of the company’s performance against prior periods, the preparation of operating budgets and determination of appropriate levels of operating and capital investments. TRHC believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional insight for analysts and investors in evaluating the company’s financial and operational performance. TRHC also intends to provide these non-GAAP financial measures as part of the company’s future earnings discussions and, therefore, their inclusion should provide consistency in the company’s financial reporting.Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS to their most directly comparable GAAP measures provided in this release, including in the accompanying tables.Safe Harbor StatementThis press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that we believe to be reasonable as of today’s date.

(1) The impact to taxes was calculated using a normalized statutory tax rate applied to pre-tax loss adjusted for the respective items above and then subtracting the tax provision as determined for GAAP purposes. (1) TRHC account for the convertible senior subordinated notes utilizing the Treasury Stock Method as we currently intend to settle the notes entirely or partly in cash. Under this method, the underlying shares of TRHC common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS, except to the extent that the average stock price for the reporting period exceeds their conversion price of $69.95 per share. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, there was no impact on diluted EPS from the convertible senior subordinated notes as the conversion price exceeded TRHC’s average stock price.TABULA RASA HEALTHCARE, INC.
