Backlog and Net Authorizations
Revenue is comprised of direct, third-party pass-through and
out-of-pocket revenue from providing services to customers. Direct
revenue represents revenue associated with the direct services.
Third-party pass-through and out-of-pocket revenue (collectively,
“indirect revenue”) represents the reimbursement by customers of
third-party pass-through and out-of-pocket costs incurred by PPD
under its contracts with customers.
PPD has continued to report backlog and net authorizations on a
basis that excludes indirect revenues and the impact of Accounting
Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 (“ASC 606”) on direct revenue
(“Historical Basis”). PPD also assesses backlog and net
authorizations on an ASC 606 direct revenue basis (“ASC 606 Direct
Basis”) and on an ASC 606 total direct and indirect revenue basis
(“ASC 606 Basis”).
Net authorizations represent new business awards, net of award
or contract modifications, contract cancellations, foreign currency
fluctuations and other adjustments. Backlog for all periods
represents anticipated revenues for work not yet completed or
performed (i) under signed contracts, letters of intent and, in
some cases, awards that are supported by other forms of written
communication and (ii) where there is sufficient or reasonable
certainty about the customer’s ability and intent to fund and
commence the services within six months. Backlog conversion
represents quarterly revenues for the period divided by opening
backlog for that period. The net book-to-bill ratio represents the
amount of net authorizations for the period divided by revenues
recognized in that period.
Backlog might not be a reliable indicator of future revenue and
PPD might not realize all or any part of the revenue from the
authorizations in backlog as of any point in time.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
(“GAAP”), this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial
measures, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted
diluted earnings per share, net debt, net leverage ratio and total
liquidity. A non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined as a
numerical measure of a company’s financial performance or financial
position that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different
than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented
in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA consists of net income or loss attributable to
common stockholders of PPD, adjusted for changes in
recapitalization investment portfolio consideration and net income
or loss attributable to noncontrolling interest and before interest
expense, net, provision for or benefit from income taxes and
depreciation and amortization and eliminates (i) non-operating
income or expense and (ii) impacts of certain non-cash, unusual or
other items that are included in net income or loss that we do not
consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Adjusted
net income (and adjusted diluted earnings per share) consists of
net income or loss (and diluted earnings or loss per share)
attributable to common stockholders of PPD before the provision for
income taxes, amortization and the elimination of (i) non-operating
income or expense and (ii) impacts of certain non-cash, unusual or
other items that are included in net income or loss that we do not
consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. In the
case of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted
earnings per share, we believe that making such adjustments
provides management and investors meaningful information to
understand our operating performance and the ability to analyze
financial and business trends on a period-to-period basis. Although
we exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets from our
non-GAAP expenses, we note that revenue generated from such
intangibles is included within revenue in determining net income or
loss attributable to common stockholders of PPD. Net debt consists
of the outstanding principal balance of the term loan, senior
unsecured notes, finance lease obligations and revolving credit
borrowings, less cash and cash equivalents, and the net leverage
ratio is equal to net debt divided by trailing 12-month adjusted
EBITDA.
Other companies in our industry may calculate adjusted EBITDA,
adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, net debt,
net leverage ratio and total liquidity differently than we do. As a
result, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as
analytical and comparative tools and should not be considered in
isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as
reported under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted
diluted earnings per share, net debt, net leverage ratio and total
liquidity should not be considered as measures of discretionary
cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. In
calculating these performance and liquidity financial measures, we
make certain adjustments that are based on assumptions and
estimates that may prove to have been inaccurate. Our presentation
of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings
per share, net debt, net leverage ratio and total liquidity should
not be construed as an inference that our future results and
financial position will be unaffected by unusual items.
Beginning in the first quarter of 2021, PPD made certain
presentation changes as described below to the reconciliations of
(i) adjusted EBITDA and (ii) adjusted net income, in each case, to
net income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP. The
presentation changes had no impact on previously reported adjusted
EBITDA or adjusted net income for any prior period. In order to
provide comparability between the 2021 periods and the
corresponding 2020 periods, PPD recast its historical
reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income to net
income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP to conform to the
new presentation.
For the purposes of reconciling both adjusted EBITDA and
adjusted net income to net income (loss) calculated in accordance
with GAAP, PPD now presents the provision for (benefit from) income
taxes as a separate reconciling item. In addition, for the purposes
of reconciling adjusted net income to net income (loss) calculated
in accordance with GAAP, each of (i) adjusted income before
provision for (benefit from) income taxes and (ii) adjusted
provision for (benefit from) income taxes are now presented as
reconciling items. The new presentation differs from PPD’s
historical practice of aggregating periodic reconciling items to
present a total of all such adjustments in connection with the
calculation of adjusted net income. PPD believes the new
presentation will assist investors and other users of the
supplemental non-GAAP financial information, primarily in
evaluating the periodic adjusted provision for (benefit from)
income taxes and related periodic adjusted tax rates.
In addition, for both the reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA and
the reconciliation of adjusted net income to GAAP net income, the
amount of PPD’s equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates is
now presented as a separate reconciling item as opposed to the
historical practice of being included within the reconciling item
titled “other adjustments”. PPD believes the separate presentation
of equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates provides
additional detail that will assist investors and other users of the
financial statements in evaluating the differences between non-GAAP
financial measures and their most directly comparable GAAP
measures.
