EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A ("Amendment No. 1") is being filed in order to reflect the adjustments set forth below to adjust Premier, Inc.'s ("Premier" or the "Company") income tax accounting for the December 2, 2016 acquisition of the remaining 50% ownership interest of Innovatix, LLC not previously owned by the Company. This Amendment No. 1 amends and restates in their entirety the following items of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on May 10, 2017 (the "Original Form 10-Q"):
Part I. Financial Information:
| |
◦ | Item 1. Financial Statements; |
| |
◦ | Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; and |
| |
◦ | Item 4. Controls and Procedures. |
Part II. Other Information - Item 6. Exhibits.
The Company has also updated the signature page, the certifications of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2, and the financial statements formatted in Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) in Exhibits 101.
No other sections were changed, but for the convenience of the reader, this Amendment No. 1 restates in its entirety, as amended, the Company's Original Form 10-Q. This Amendment No. 1 is presented as of the filing date of the Original Form 10-Q and does not modify or update disclosures in any way other than as required to reflect the restatement described below. Readers should refer to the documents the Company has filed with or furnished to the SEC subsequent to the date of the Company's Original Form 10-Q for updated information.
Prior to December 2, 2016, the Company, through its consolidated subsidiary, Premier Supply Chain Improvement, Inc., held a 50% ownership interest in Innovatix, LLC, which was accounted for under the equity method and classified as a partnership for tax purposes. On December 2, 2016, the Company acquired the remaining 50% ownership interest of Innovatix, LLC. In connection with the acquisition, the Company’s historical 50% investment was remeasured under business combination accounting rules to fair value, resulting in a one-time gain of $204.8 million. At the time of the acquisition, a deferred tax liability of $95.8 million and a corresponding net deferred income tax expense of $95.8 million associated with the one-time gain were recorded by the Company. The Company has determined that a portion of the deferred tax liability and a portion of the deferred tax expense associated with the $204.8 million gain should not have been recorded.
Accordingly, the Company determined it necessary to adjust the Original Form 10-Q to remove the incorrectly recorded deferred tax liability and instead record deferred tax liabilities associated with the book and tax bases differences of the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Based on the Company’s determination, the net effect of this adjustment increased goodwill by $42.9 million, decreased deferred tax liabilities by $34.3 million, decreased deferred tax assets by $10.5 million and increased income tax expense by $0.8 million and decreased income tax expense by $66.7 million as of and for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017, respectively. Correspondingly, net income has been adjusted lower by $0.8 million and has been adjusted higher by $66.7 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017, respectively.

Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").SEC. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations and financial condition for the interim periods shown, including normal recurring
adjustments. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes contained in the Company's2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 (the "2016 Annual Report") filed with the SEC on August 25, 2016.Report.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Significant estimates are evaluated on an ongoing basis, including estimates for allowances for doubtful accounts, useful lives of property and equipment, stock-based compensation, payables under tax receivable agreements, values of investments not publicly traded, the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, uncertain income taxes, deferred revenue, future cash flows associated with asset impairments, values of put and call rights and the allocation of purchase price are evaluated on an ongoing basis.prices. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Restatement of Previously Reported Financial Information
Prior to December 2, 2016, the Company, through its consolidated subsidiary, Premier Supply Chain Improvement, Inc. ("PSCI"), held a 50% ownership interest in Innovatix, LLC ("Innovatix"), which was accounted for under the equity method and classified as a partnership for tax purposes. On December 2, 2016, the Company acquired the remaining 50% ownership interest of Innovatix. In connection with the acquisition, the Company’s historical 50% investment was remeasured under business combination accounting rules to fair value, resulting in a one-time gain of $204.8 million. At the time of the acquisition, a deferred tax liability of $95.8 million and a corresponding deferred income tax expense of $95.8 million associated with the one-time gain were recorded by the Company and are reflected in the previously issued financial statements included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on May 10, 2017 (the "Original Form 10-Q").
Subsequent to the issuance of the financial statements included in the Company's Original Form 10-Q, the Company adjusted its income tax accounting for this acquisition. The Company determined that a portion of the deferred tax liability and a portion of the deferred tax expense associated with the $204.8 million gain that were reflected in the previously issued financial statements should not have been recorded. Accordingly, the Company determined it necessary to adjust the Original Form 10-Q to restate the previously recorded deferred tax liability and deferred income tax expense, and record deferred tax liabilities associated with the book and tax bases differences of the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
The impact of these changes on selected financial amounts within the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements is summarized below:

(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
There have been no material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies as described in the 2016 Annual Report.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which is intended to simplify the accounting for employee share-based payments. The amendments in this updated guidance include changes to simplify the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of such share-based awards as either equity or liabilities and classification in the statement of cash flows. The Company early-adopted the standard effective July 1, 2016, using the prospective approach. Pursuant to the guidance, the Company recognized gross excess tax benefits of approximately $9.1 million ($3.6 million tax effected) forduring the three months ended September 30, 2016, which arewere fully offset by a valuation allowance at Premier Healthcare Solutions, Inc. ("PHSI"),PHSI, the Company's consolidated subsidiary. No adjustments were made to prior periods, and the impact on prior periods would have been immaterial. All excess tax benefits related to share-based awards are reported as operating activities within the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. In addition, the Company calculated diluted earnings per share without consideration of any tax benefits in determining dilutive shares.
In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements, which clarifies the SEC staff's position in ASU 2015-03 on presenting and measuring debt issuance costs incurred in connection with line-of-credit arrangements given the lack of guidance on this topic in ASU 2015-03,
Interest-Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. ASU 2015-15 states that the SEC staff would "not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement." The Company adopted the standard effective July 1, 2016 using the retrospective approach. The guidance hashad no impact on the Company's accounting for debt issuance costs associated with its line of credit.
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which effectively eliminateseliminated the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, modifiesmodified the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs or voting interest entities, and affectsaffected the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs (particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships).
The Company adopted the standard effective July 1, 2016 using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of ASU 2015-02 did not impact the Company's conclusions regarding consolidation or the consolidated financial statements other than providing additional disclosures around Premier's consolidation of Premier LP. As a result of ASU 2015-02, the Company no longer consolidates Premier LP under the presumption that the general partner controls a limited partnership but rather consolidates Premier LP under the Variable Interest Model asModel. Premier LP meets the definition of a variable interest entityVIE as the limited partners do not have the ability to exercise a substantive removal right with respect to the general partner, Premier GP, andGP. Additionally, the Company, through
Premier GP, has the exclusive power and authority to manage the business and affairs of Premier LP, to make all decisions with respect thereto driving the economic performance of Premier LP, and has both an obligation to absorb losses and a right to receive benefits.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The guidance requires an entity to perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. In addition, the guidance eliminates the requirement for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The new standard will be effective for the Company for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory, which removes the prohibition in ASC 740 against the immediate recognition of the current and deferred income tax effects of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. The guidance is intended to reduce the complexity of U.S. GAAP and diversity in practice related to the tax consequences of certain types of intra-entity asset transfers, particularly those involving intellectual property. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The new standard will be effective for the Company for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which amends the guidance in ASC 230 on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. The primary purpose of the ASU is to reduce the diversity in practice that has resulted from the lack of consistent principles on this topic. The ASU amendments add or clarify guidance on eight cash flow issues. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The new standard will be effective for the Company for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations of accounting for leasing arrangements. This guidance establishes a right-of-use model that requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than twelve months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. Entities will be required to recognize and measure leases as of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The new standard will be effective for the Company for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which is intended to provide users of financial statements with more useful information on the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The new standard will be effective for the Company for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for certain amendments. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11,Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which requires entities to measure most inventory "at the lower of cost and net realizable value," thereby simplifying the current guidance under which an entity must measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. This guidance will not apply to inventories that are measured by using either the last-in, first-out method or the retail inventory method. The new standard will be effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The new standard will be effective for the Company
for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. Upon transition, entities must disclose the nature of and reason for the accounting change. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ofWe do not expect the adoption of the new standard to have a material impact on itsour consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance. The new standard requires revenue to be recognized when promised goods or services
are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard also requires additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The new standard allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption.
The FASB subsequently issued an amendment in ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, in August 2015 to defer the effective date of the new standard for all entities by one year. The new standard, as amended, will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption as of the original effective date for public entities will be permitted.
The FASB issued another amendment in ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations, in March 2016 related to a third party providing goods or services to a customer. When another party is involved in providing goods or services to a customer, an entity is required to determine whether the nature of its promise is to provide the specified good or service itself or to arrange for the good or service to be provided by a third party. If the entity provides the specific good or service itself, the entity acts as a principal. If an entity arranges for the good or service to be provided by a third party, the entity acts as an agent. The standard requires the principal to recognize revenue for the gross amount and the agent to recognize revenue for the amount of any fee or commission for which it expects to be entitled in exchange for arranging for the specified good or service to be provided. The new standard will be effective with ASU 2014-09.
In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which amends specific aspects of ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, including how to identify performance obligations and guidance related to licensing implementation. This amendment provides guidance on determining whether an entity's promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity's intellectual property or a right to access the entity's intellectual property. The amendment will be effective with ASU 2014-09.
In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which clarifies specific aspects of ASU 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers, clarifying how to identify performance obligations and guidance related to its promise in granting a license of intellectual property. This new standard provides guidance to allow entities to disregard items that are immaterial in the context of the contract, clarify when a promised good or service is separately identifiable and allow an entity to elect to account for the cost of shipping and handling performed after control of a good has been transferred to the customer as a fulfillment cost. The new standard also clarifies how an entity should evaluate the nature of its promise in granting a license of intellectual property to help determine whether it recognizes revenue over time or at a point in time and addresses how entities should consider license renewals and restrictions. The new standard will be effective with ASU 2014-09.
In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606: Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which clarifies specific aspects of ASU 2014-09, including allowing entities not to make quantitative disclosures about remaining performance obligations in certain cases and requiring entities that use any of the new or previously existing optional exemptions to expand their qualitative disclosures. The new standard also makes twelve other technical corrections and modifications to ASU 2014-09. The new standard will be effective with ASU 2014-09.
The new revenue recognition standards discussed above, as amended, will be effective for the Company for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the transition method that will be elected as well as the impact of the adoption of the new standards on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company is alsoAdditionally, we are evaluating the impact of the deferral of the effective datepotential impacts on its plans for adoptingour revenue contracts and identifying appropriate changes to our business processes, systems and controls to support revenue recognition and disclosure requirements under the new standard.
(3) BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
Acquisition of Innovatix, LLC and Essensa Ventures, LLC
Prior to December 2, 2016, the Company, through its consolidated subsidiary, PSCI, held 50% of the membership interests in Innovatix, LLC ("Innovatix") (see Note 4 - Investments). On December 2, 2016, the Company, through PSCI, acquired from GNYHA Holdings, LLC (see Note 14 - Related Party Transactions) the remaining 50% ownership interest of Innovatix and 100% of the ownership interest in Essensa Ventures, LLC ("Essensa") for $325.0 million, of which $227.5 million in cash was paid at closing and $97.5 million in cash was paid on January 10, 2017.
The purchase price is subject to adjustment based on Innovatix's and Essensa's (i) cash on hand and cash equivalents, (ii) outstanding indebtedness and (iii) net working capital at closing. With regard to Innovatix, the purchase price adjustments set forth in (i), (ii)
and (iii) above are limited to 50% of the actual amount due to PSCI’s 50% ownership interest prior to the acquisition. Innovatix and Essensa are GPOs focused on serving nonacute and alternate site health care providers and other organizations throughout the United States.
In connection with the acquisition, the Company utilized its credit facility dated June 24, 2014, as amended on June 4, 2015 (the "Credit Facility") to fund the $325.0 million purchase price (see Note 8 - Debt), which is reflected within current portion of long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2017.
The Company incurred $0.4 million and $5.1 million of transaction costs related to this acquisition during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017, respectively. These transaction costs were included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.
The Company has accounted for the Innovatix and Essensa acquisition as a business combination whereby the purchase price was allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired (see Note 6 - Intangible Assets, Net) and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary fair values. The purchase price allocation for the Innovatix and Essensa acquisition is preliminary and subject to changes in the fair value of working capital and valuation of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The acquisition resulted in the recognition of approximately $334.6 million of goodwill (see Note 7 - Goodwill) attributable to the anticipated profitability of Innovatix and Essensa. The acquisition was considered an asset acquisition for tax purposes, and accordingly, the Company expects a portion of the goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes.
The preliminary fair values assigned to the net assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date were as follows (in thousands):

The acquisition provides the selling members an earn-out opportunity of up to $43.0 million based on Innovatix's and Essensa's Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the purchase agreement) for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017. In accordance with GAAP, the contingent consideration is recorded at fair value based on a probability-weighted approach including multiple earnings scenarios. This value is not indicative of a known amount to be paid. As of March 31, 2017, the fair value of the earn-out liability was $18.5 million (see Note 5 - Fair Value Measurements).

The Company estimatesestimated the fair value of each stock option on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model, applying the following assumptions, and amortizesamortized expense over theeach option's vesting period using the straight-line attribution approach:
|
| | |
| September 30, |
| 2016 | 2015 |
Expected life (a) | 6 years | 6 years |
Expected dividend (b) | — | — |
Expected volatility (c) | 33.0% | 32.7% |
Risk-free interest rate (d) | 1.31% | 1.74% |
Weighted average option grant date fair value | $10.80 | $12.40 |

Weighted average option grant date fair value | $10.48 - $11.28 | $11.19 - $12.40 |
| |
(a) | The six-year expected life (estimated period of time outstanding) of stock options granted was estimated using the "Simplified Method" which utilizes the midpoint between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term. This method was utilized for the stock options due to the lack of historical exercise behavior of Premier's employees. |
| |
(b) | No dividends are expected to be paid over the contractual term of the stock options granted, resulting in the use of a zero expected dividend rate. |
| |
(c) | The expected volatility rate is based on the observed historical volatilities of comparable companies. |
| |
(d) | The risk-free interest rate was interpolated from the five-year and seven-year Constant Maturity Treasury rate published by the United States Treasury constant maturity market yield as of the date of the grant. |

The Company uses Segment Adjusted EBITDA (a Non-GAAP measure)financial measure not determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("Non-GAAP")) as its primary measure of profit or loss to assess segment performance and to determine the allocation of resources. The Company also uses Segment Adjusted EBITDA to facilitate the comparison of the segment operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period. The Company defines Segment Adjusted EBITDA as the segment's net revenue and equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates less operating expenses directly attributable to the segment excluding depreciation and amortization, amortization of purchased intangible assets, merger and acquisition related expenses and non-recurring or non-cash items. Non-recurring items are expenses that have not been incurred within the prior two years and are not expected to recur within the next two years. Operating expenses directly attributable to the segment include expenses associated with sales and marketing, general and administrative and product development activities specific to the operation of each segment. Non-recurring items are income or expenses and other items that have not been earned or incurred within the prior two years and are not expected to recur within the next two years. General and administrative corporate expenses that are not specific to a particular segment are not included in the calculation of Segment Adjusted EBITDA.
For more information on Segment Adjusted EBITDA and the use of Non-GAAP financial measures, see "Other Key Business Metrics" under"Our Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" within Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
All reportable segment revenues are presented net of inter-segment eliminations and represent revenues from external customers.

Market and Industry Trends and Outlook
We expect that certain trends and economic or industry-wide factors will continue to affect our business, both in the short-term and long-term. We have based our expectations described below on assumptions made by us and on information currently available to us. To the extent our underlying assumptions about, or interpretation of, available information prove to be incorrect our actual results may vary materially from our expected results. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."Statements" for more information.
Trends in the U.S. healthcare market affect our revenues in the supply chain services and performance services segments. The trends we see affecting our current healthcare business include the implementation of healthcare reform legislation, enactment of new regulatory and reporting requirements, expansion of insurance coverage, intense cost pressure, payment reform providerand movement to alternative payment models, industry consolidation, shift in care to the alternate site market, competition and increased data availability and transparency. To meet the demands of this environment, there will be increased focus on scale and cost containment, access to and use of healthcare analytics, and healthcare providers will need to measure, and report on and bear financial risk for outcomes. We believe these trends
will result in increased demand for our supply chain services and performance services solutions in the areas of cost management, quality and safety, and population health management. However, there are uncertainties and risks that may affect the actual impact of these anticipated trends on our business. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" herein for more information.
Key Components of Our Results of Operations
Net Revenue
Net revenue consists of (i) service revenue, which includes net administrative fees revenue and other services and support revenue and (ii) product revenue. Net administrative fees revenue consists of GPO administrative fees in our supply chain services segment. Other services and support revenue consists primarily of fees generated by our performance services segment in connection with our SaaS informatics products subscriptions, license fees, advisory services and performance improvement collaborative subscriptions. Product revenue consists of specialtyintegrated pharmacy reimbursements and direct sourcing product sales, which are included in the supply chain services segment.
Supply Chain Services
Supply chain services revenue consists of GPO net administrative fees (gross administrative fees received from suppliers, reduced by the amount of any revenue share paid to members), specialtyintegrated pharmacy revenue, direct sourcing revenue and managed service revenue.
The success of our supply chain services revenue streams are influenced by our ability to negotiate favorable contracts with suppliers, the number of members that utilize our GPO supplier contracts and the volume of their purchases, the number of members that utilize our specialtyintegrated pharmacy, as well as the impact of changes in the defined allowable reimbursement amounts determined by Medicare, Medicaid and other managed care plans and the number of members that purchase products through our direct sourcing activities and the impact of competitive actions and pricing. Our managed services line of business is a fee for service model created to perform supply chain related services for members, including pharmacy benefit management ("PBM") services in partnership with a national PBM company.
Performance Services
Performance services revenue consists of SaaS informatics products subscriptions, license fees, performance improvement collaborative and other service subscriptions, professional fees for advisory and government services, insurance services management fees and commissions from endorsed commercial insurance programs.
Our performance services growth will depend upon the expansion of our SaaS informatics products, performance improvement collaboratives and advisory services to new and existing members, impact of applied research initiatives, renewal of existing subscriptions to our SaaS informatics products and expansion into new markets with potential future acquisitions.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of service revenue includes expenses related to employees (including compensation and benefits) and outside consultants who directly provide services related to revenue-generating activities, including advisory services to members and implementation services related to SaaS informatics products.

Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense includes theThe Company’s income tax expense is attributable to Premier,the activities of the Company, Premier Healthcare Solutions, Inc. ("PHSI") and PSCI, all of which are subchapter C Corporations subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. In contrast, Premier Supply Chain ImprovementHealthcare Alliance, L.P. ("PSCI"Premier LP"). For is not subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes as its income is taxable to its partners. The Company’s overall effective tax rate differs from the U.S statutory tax rate primarily due to the aforementioned ownership structure as well as other items noted in Note 13 - Income Taxes.
Given the Company’s ownership and capital structure, we calculate various effective tax rates for specific tax items. The Company’s effective tax rate, as discussed in Note 13 - Income Taxes, represents the effective tax rate computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") based on total income tax expense (reflected in income tax expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income) of the Company, PHSI, and PSCI divided by consolidated pre-tax book income. Non-GAAP Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income is calculated net of taxes based on the Company’s fully distributed tax rate for expected federal and state income tax purposes, income realized by Premier LPfor the Company as a whole as if it were one taxable entity with all of its subsidiaries' activities included. Alternatively, the deferred tax benefit related to stock-based compensation expense (see Note 12 - Stock-Based Compensation) is taxable to its partners. As such,calculated based on the low effective tax rate of PHSI, the legal entity where the majority of stock-based compensation expense is attributable to the flow through of Premier LP income, which is not subject to federal and state income tax at Premier.recorded.
Net Income Attributable to Non-Controlling Interest
As of September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, we owned an approximate 34%36% controlling general partner interest in Premier LP through Premier GP. Net income attributable to non-controlling interest represents the portion of net income attributable to the limited partners of Premier LP, (approximately 66%). Our non-controlling interest attributable to limited partners of Premier LPwhich was reduced from approximately 68% as of June 30, 2016 to approximately 66%64% as of September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 primarily as a result of the completion of a quarterly exchangeexchanges pursuant to the Exchange Agreement (see Note 109 - Redeemable Limited Partners' Capital).
Other Key Business MetricsOur Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The other key business metrics we consider are EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income, Adjusted Fully Distributed Earnings per Share and Free Cash Flow, which are Non-GAAP financial measures.
We define EBITDA as net income before interest and investment income, net, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization and amortization of purchased intangible assets. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before merger and acquisition related expenses and non-recurring, non-cash or non-operating items and including equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates. For all Non-GAAP financial measures, not determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("Non-GAAP"), we consider non-recurring items to be income or expenses and other items that have not been earned or incurred within the prior two years and are not expected to recur within the next two years. Such expensesitems include certain strategic and financial restructuring expenses. Non-operating items include gain or loss on the disposal of assets.assets and interest and investment income or expense.
We define Segment Adjusted EBITDA as the segment's net revenue less cost of revenue and operating expenses directly attributable to the segment excluding depreciation and amortization, amortization of purchased intangible assets, merger and acquisition related expenses and non-recurring or non-cash items, and including equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates. Operating expenses directly attributable to the segment include expenses associated with sales and marketing, general and administrative, and product
development activities specific to the operation of each segment. General and administrative corporate expenses that are not specific to a particular segment are not included in the calculation of Segment Adjusted EBITDA.
We define Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income as net income attributable to Premier (i) excluding income tax expense, (ii) excluding the impact of adjustment of redeemable limited partners' capital to redemption amount (iii) excluding the effect of non-recurringnon-
recurring and non-cash items, (iv) assuming the exchange of all the Class B common units into shares of Class A common stock, which results in the elimination of non-controlling interest in Premier LP and (v) reflecting an adjustment for income tax expense on Non-GAAP fully distributed net income before income taxes at our estimated effective income tax rate. Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income is a Non-GAAP financial measure because it represents net income attributable to Premier before merger and acquisition related expenses and non-recurring or non-cash items, the effects of non-controlling interests in Premier LP and the impact of the adjustment of redeemable limited partners' capital to redemption amount.
We define Adjusted Fully Distributed Earnings per Share as earnings per share attributable to Premier (i) excluding income tax expense, (ii) excluding impact of adjustment of redeemable limited partners' capital to redemption amount, (iii) excluding the effect of non-recurring and non-cash items, (iv) assuming the exchange of all the Class B common units into shares of Class A common stock, which results in the elimination of non-controlling interest in Premier LP and (v) reflecting an adjustment for income tax expense on Non-GAAP fully distributed net income before income taxes at our estimated effective income tax rate. Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income divided by diluted weighted average shares (see Note 11 - Earnings per Share is a Non-GAAP financial measure because it represents earnings per share attributable to Premier before merger and acquisition related expenses and non-recurring or non-cash items, the effects of non-controlling interests in Premier LP, and the impact of the adjustment of redeemable limited partners' capital to redemption amount.(Loss) Per Share).
We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less distributions and tax receivable agreement payments to limited partners and purchases of property and equipment. Free Cash Flow is a Non-GAAP financial measure because it does not represent net cash provided by operating activities alone but takes into consideration the ongoing distributions to limited partners and purchase of property and equipment that are necessary for ongoing business operations and long-term value creation. We believe Free Cash Flow is an important measure because it represents the cash that we generate after payment of tax distributions to limited partners and capital investment to maintain existing products and services as well as development of new and upgraded products and services to support future growth. Free Cash Flow is important because it allows us to enhance stockholder value through acquisitions, partnerships, joint ventures, investments in related business and/or debt reduction. Also, Free Cash Flow does not represent discretionary cash available for spending as it excludes certain contractual obligations such as debt repayment.repayments.
Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are supplemental financial measures used by us and by external users of our financial statements. We consider Adjusted EBITDAstatements and Free Cash Floware considered to be indicators of the operational strength and performance of our business. Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow measures allow us to assess our performance without regard to financing methods and capital structure and without the impact of other matters that we do not consider indicative of the operating performance of our business. More specifically, Segment Adjusted EBITDA is the primary earnings measure we use to evaluate the performance of our business segments.
We use Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income and Adjusted Fully Distributed Earnings per Share to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period that, when viewed in combination with our results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"),GAAP, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than GAAP measures alone.business. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDA assist our board of directors, management and investors in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period because they remove the impact of our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) and items outside the control of our management team, e.g. taxes, as well as other non-cash (such as impairment of intangible assets, purchase accounting adjustments and stock-based compensation) and non-recurring items (such as strategic and financial restructuring expenses), from our operations. We believe Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income and Adjusted Fully Distributed Earnings per Share assist our board of directors, management and investors in comparing our net income and earnings per share on a consistent basis from period to period because it removesthese measures remove non-cash (such as impairment of intangible assets, purchase accounting adjustments and stock-based compensation) and non-recurring items (such as strategic and financial restructuring expenses), and eliminateseliminate the variability of non-controlling interest as a result ofthat results from member owner exchanges of Class B common units into shares of Class A common stock (which exchanges are a member owner's cumulative right, but not obligation, which began on October 31, 2014,stock. We believe Free Cash Flow is an important measure because it represents the cash that we generate after payment of tax distributions to limited partners and occur each year thereafter,capital investment to maintain existing products and are limitedservices and ongoing business operations, as well as development of new and upgraded products and services to one-seventh of the member owner's initial allocation of Class B common units).support future growth. Free Cash Flow allows us to enhance stockholder value through acquisitions, partnerships, joint ventures, investments in related businesses and debt reduction.
Despite the importance of these Non-GAAP financial measures in analyzing our business, determining compliance with certain financial covenants in our Credit Facility, measuring and determining incentive compensation and evaluating our operating performance relative to our competitors, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income, Adjusted Fully Distributed Earnings per Share and Free Cash Flow are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP, may have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, net income, net cash provided by operating activities, or any other measure of our performance derived in accordance with GAAP.
Some of the limitations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDA include that they do not reflect: our capital expenditures or our future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; the interest expense or the cash requirements to service interest or principal payments under our Credit Facility; income tax payments we are required to make; and any cash requirements for replacements of assets being depreciated or amortized. In addition, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are not measures of liquidity under GAAP, or otherwise, and are not alternatives to cash flows from continuing operating activities.
Some of the limitations of Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income and Adjusted Fully Distributed Earnings per Share are that they do not reflect income tax expense or income tax payments we are required to make. In addition, Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income and Adjusted Fully Distributed Earnings per Share are not measures of profitability under GAAP.
We also urge you to review the reconciliation of these Non-GAAP financial measures included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. To properly and prudently evaluate our business, we encourage you to review the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in Part I of this Quarterly Report, and to not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. In addition, because EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income, Adjusted Fully Distributed Earnings per Share and Free Cash Flow are susceptible to varying calculations, the EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income, Adjusted Fully Distributed Earnings per Share and Free Cash Flowsuch Non-GAAP financial measures as presented in this Quarterly Report, may differ from, and may therefore not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.
ResultsNon-recurring and non-cash items excluded in our calculation of OperationsAdjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income consist of stock-based compensation, strategic and financial restructuring expenses, adjustments to TRA liabilities, ERP implementation expenses and acquisition related adjustment - revenue. These items are defined as follows:
Three Months Ended September 30,Stock-based compensation
In addition to non-cash employee stock-based compensation expense, this item includes non-cash stock purchase plan expense of $0.1 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 Comparedand $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Strategic and financial restructuring expenses
This item represents legal, accounting and other expenses directly related to strategic and financial restructuring activities.
Adjustment to tax receivable agreement liability
This item represents an adjustment to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2015TRA liability for an increase in income apportioned to California during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and a 1% decrease in the North Carolina state income tax rate that occurred during each of the nine months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.
ERP implementation expenses
This item includes costs related to the implementation of a new enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system.
Acquisition related adjustment - revenue
During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017, we recorded $11.6 million and $17.2 million purchase accounting adjustments to Adjusted EBITDA, respectively, related to our acquisition of Innovatix and Essensa on December 2, 2016. These adjustments reflect the fair value of administrative fees related to member purchases that occurred prior to December 2, 2016, but were reported to us subsequent to that date through March 31, 2017. Under our revenue recognition accounting policy, which is in accordance with GAAP, these administrative fees would be ordinarily recorded as revenue when reported to us; however, the acquisition method of accounting requires us to estimate the amount of purchases prior to the acquisition date and to record the fair value of the administrative fees to be received from those purchases as an account receivable (as opposed to recognizing revenue when these transactions are reported to us) and record any corresponding revenue share obligation as a liability. The following table summarizes our resultspurchase accounting adjustment amounted to an estimated $22.1 million of operationsaccounts receivable relating to these administrative fees and an estimated $4.0 million for the related revenue share obligation through March 31, 2017.
This item also includes non-cash adjustments to deferred revenue of acquired entities of $0.1 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and 2015 (in thousands, except per share data):

(f) | Represents implementation and other costs of new enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system. |
| |
(g) | Represents non-cash adjustment to deferred revenue of acquired entities. Business combination accounting rules require the Company to record a deferred revenue liability at its fair value only if the acquired deferred revenue represents a legal performance obligation assumed by the acquirer. The fair value is based on direct and indirect incremental costs of providing the services plus a normal profit margin. Generally, this results in a reduction to the purchased deferred revenue balance, which was based on upfront fees associated with software license updates and product support contracts assumed in connection with acquisitions. Because these support contracts are typically one-year in duration, our GAAP revenues for the one-year period subsequent to our acquisition of a business do not reflect the full amount of support revenues on these assumed support contracts that would have otherwise been recorded by the acquired entity. The Non-GAAP adjustment to our software license updates and product support revenues is intended to include, and thus reflect, the full amount of such revenues.

Business combination accounting rules require the Company to record a deferred revenue liability at its fair value only if the acquired deferred revenue represents a legal performance obligation assumed by the acquirer. The fair value is based on direct and indirect incremental costs of providing the services plus a normal profit margin. Generally, this results in a reduction to the purchased deferred revenue balance, which was based on upfront fees associated with software license updates and product support contracts assumed in connection with acquisitions. Because these support contracts are typically one-year in duration, our GAAP revenues for the one-year period subsequent to our acquisition of a business do not reflect the full amount of support revenues on these assumed support contracts that would have otherwise been recorded by the acquired entity. The Non-GAAP adjustment to our software license updates and product support revenues is intended to include, and thus reflect, the full amount of such revenues. |

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements As of September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Estimates are evaluated on an ongoing basis,Significant estimates including those related to reservesestimates for bad debts,allowances for doubtful accounts, useful lives of property and equipment, stock-based compensation, payables under tax receivable agreements, valuevalues of investments not publicly traded, the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, uncertain income taxes, deferred revenue, future cash flows associated with asset impairments, values of put and call rights and the fair valueallocation of purchased intangible assets and goodwill.purchase price are evaluated on an ongoing basis. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. There have been no material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies as described in the Company's 2016 Annual Report. New Accounting Standards New accounting standards that we have recently adopted as well as those that have been recently issued but not yet adopted by us are included in Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies toin the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements appearing in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Liquidity and Capital Resources Our principal source of cash has historically been cash provided by operating activities. From time to time we have used, and expect to use in the future, borrowings under our Credit Facility as a source of liquidity. Our primary cash requirements involve operating expenses, working capital fluctuations, capital expenditures, settlement of Class B common unit exchanges under the Exchange Agreement (to the extent settled in cash), acquisitions and related business investments.investments, and other general corporate activities. Our capital expenditures typically consist of internally-developed software costs, software purchases and computer hardware purchases. Prior to the Reorganization and IPO, the vast majority of our excess cash had been distributed to our member owners. As of September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $156.0$236.2 million and $248.8 million respectively. As of September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, there were no marketable securities outstanding, and as of June 30, 2016, marketable securities with maturities ranging from three months to five years totaled $47.9 million. The decrease in marketable securities of $47.9 million is primarily attributableheld at June 30, 2016 were
liquidated in order to fundinghelp fund the equity investment in FFF on July 26, 2016 and the acquisition of Acro Pharmaceuticals andon August 23, 2016. During the equity investment in FFF. Asnine months ended March 31, 2017, the Company utilized $425.0 million of September 30, 2016, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. See Note 9 - DebtFacility, including approximately $325.0 million to fund the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for more information. On November 1, 2016, we borrowedacquisition price of Innovatix and Essensa, approximately $50.0 million under our Credit Facility to fund athe cash settlement portion of the October 31, 2016 Class B common unit exchange under the Exchange Agreement.

We expect cash generated from operations and borrowings under our Credit Facility to provide us with adequate liquidity to fund our anticipated working capital requirements, revenue share obligations, tax payments, capital expenditures, settlement of Class B common unit exchanges under the Exchange Agreement (to the extent settled in cash) and growth for the foreseeable future. Our capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including funding requirements for our product and service development and commercialization efforts, and our information technology requirements and the amount of cash generated by our operations. We currently believe that we have adequate capital resources at our disposal to fund currently anticipated capital expenditures, business growth and expansion and current and projected debt service requirements; strategic growth initiatives, however, will likely require the use of available cash on hand, cash generated from operations, borrowings under our Credit Facility and other long-term debt and, potentially, proceeds from the issuance of additional equity or debt securities.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Our exposure to market risk relates primarily to the increase or decrease in the amount of interest income we can earn on our investment portfolio and on the increase or decrease in the amount of any interest expense we must pay with respect to outstanding debt instruments. We investhave historically invested our excess cash in a portfolio of individual cash equivalents and marketable securities. We do not currently hold, and we have never held, any derivative financial instruments. As a result, we do not expect changes in interest rates to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position. We plan to ensure the safety and preservation of our invested principal funds by limiting default, market and investment risks. We plan to mitigate default risk by investing in low-risk securities. Substantially all of our financial transactions are conducted in U.S. dollars. Item 4. Controls and Procedures Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

Based upon this further evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not designed effectively and did not operate at a sufficient level of detail as of March 31, 2017 due to a material weakness in internal
control over financial reporting related to the income tax accounting for complex, non-routine or infrequent transactions as discussed below. Management's quarterly evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures did not include an assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures of Innovatix, Essensa and Acro Pharmaceuticals, which waswere acquired during the threenine months ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and isare included in our condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and for the period from the respective acquisition datedates through September 30, 2016.March 31, 2017. The aggregate assets of Acro Pharmaceuticals and Innovatix and Essensa represented approximately 1.1%less than 1% of our total assets as of September 30, 2016. Acro PharmaceuticalsMarch 31, 2017. The net revenue generated by Innovatix and Essensa represented approximately 7.5%3% and 1% of our net revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.March 31, 2017, respectively. Acro Pharmaceuticals represented approximately 14% and 13% of our net revenue for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017, respectively. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting The Company identified errors in the income tax accounting related to the December 2, 2016 acquisition of the remaining 50% ownership interest of Innovatix, LLC not previously owned by the Company, which indicated to management that deficiencies existed in internal control over financial reporting that potentially would not prevent or detect a material misstatement. Management therefore concluded there was a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to the income tax accounting for complex, non-routine or infrequent transactions. Specifically, management determined that the internal controls around income tax accounting for complex, non-routine or infrequent transactions were not designed effectively and did not operate at a sufficient level of detail to prevent or detect a material misstatement on a timely basis. Actions are currently being implemented to remediate this material weakness, including augmenting the Company's accounting resources, training, and implementing a more formal review and documentation process around the income tax accounting for complex, non-routine or infrequent transactions. Management believes that these actions will strengthen our overall internal control over financial reporting, including with respect to complex, non-routine or infrequent transactions. Management is continuing to assess our remediation efforts, and we may take additional measures or modify our internal control over financial reporting for these types of transactions. We have substantially completed the implementation of core general ledger, related financial reporting and other components to our comprehensive enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system. In connection with the implementation of these components of the overall ERP system, we updated the processes that constitute our internal control over financial reporting, as necessary, to accommodate related changes to our accounting procedures and business processes. Although the processes that constitute our internal control over financial reporting have been materially affected by the implementation of certain ERP modules and will require testing for effectiveness, we do not believe that the implementation of the ERP system has had or will have a material adverse effect on our internal control over financial reporting. Except as otherwise described above, there have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
