CERNER REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2022 RESULTS
Margin Expansion Drives Strong Earnings Growth
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - May 3, 2022 - Cerner Corporation (Nasdaq: CERN) today announced results for the 2022 first quarter that ended March 31, 2022.
"I am pleased with Cerner's solid results in the first quarter," said David Feinberg, M.D., president and CEO. "Our results reflect solid execution across the business and strong contributions from Cerner EnvizaSM, which is well positioned to build on a terrific first year by accelerating the discovery, development, and deployment of therapies. We continue to make progress towards the closing of the proposed acquisition by Oracle, and I remain excited by the potential for the combination to further our purpose of empowering those devoted to delivering care and keeping people healthy."
2022 First Quarter Highlights
•Revenue of $1.430 billion, up 3% compared to $1.388 billion in the first quarter of 2021.
•GAAP operating margin of 17.6%, up 190 basis points from 15.7% in the year-ago quarter.
•Adjusted Operating Margin (non-GAAP) of 22.7%, up 130 basis points from 21.4% in the year-ago quarter.
•GAAP diluted EPS of $0.70, up 25% compared to $0.56 in the year-ago quarter.
•Adjusted Diluted EPS (non-GAAP) of $0.89, up 17% compared to $0.76 in the year-ago quarter.
•GAAP cash flow from operating activities of $375 million, down 17% compared to $450 million in the year-ago quarter.
•Free Cash Flow (non-GAAP) of $276 million, down 5% compared to $291 million in the year-ago quarter.
"During the first quarter, we delivered revenue growth in line with our expectations and expanded Adjusted Operating Margin by 130 basis points, resulting in strong Adjusted Diluted EPS growth of 17%," said Mark Erceg, executive vice president and chief financial officer. "The margin expansion this quarter was on top of strong margin expansion over the past two years. Since the first quarter of 2020, our GAAP operating margin has expanded 500 basis points and our Adjusted Operating Margin has expanded 330 basis points, reflecting the ongoing impact of our organizational transformation, productivity measures, more focused product strategy, and cost control initiatives. These efforts are improving our ability to create value for our clients while also driving better financial performance."
Proposed Merger with Oracle
On Dec. 20, 2021, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Merger Agreement") with Cedar Acquisition Corporation ("Merger Subsidiary"), OC Acquisition LLC and Oracle Corporation ("Oracle"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on Jan. 19, 2022, Oracle commenced a cash tender offer (the "Offer") to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Shares") for a purchase price of $95.00 per share, net to the holders thereof in cash, without interest and subject to any required tax withholding. Following the completion of the Offer, Merger Subsidiary will merge with and into Cerner (the "Merger"), with Cerner continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Oracle, at which time the Shares would cease to be publicly held. We expect the Merger to close in calendar year 2022, subject to receiving certain regulatory approvals and satisfying other closing conditions, including Cerner stockholders tendering a majority of Cerner's outstanding Shares in the Offer. Additional information about the Offer and Merger and the Merger Agreement is set forth in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
Information on Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted Operating Margin, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow are not recognized terms under GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be substituted for GAAP operating margin, GAAP diluted earnings per share, or GAAP cash flows from operating activities, respectively, as measures of Cerner's performance, but instead should be utilized as supplemental measures of financial performance in evaluating our business. Please see the accompanying schedule, titled "Reconciliation of GAAP Results to Non-GAAP Results," where our non-GAAP financial measures are defined and reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measures.
Conference Call and Prepared Remarks
Given the proposed acquisition of Cerner by Oracle, Cerner will not be hosting an earnings conference call, issuing prepared remarks, providing financial guidance or repurchasing shares.
Additional Information about the Acquisition and Where to Find It
In connection with the proposed acquisition, Oracle has commenced a tender offer for the Shares. This document is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell the Shares, nor is it a substitute for the tender offer materials that Oracle and its acquisition subsidiary have filed with the SEC upon commencement of the tender offer. Oracle and its acquisition subsidiary have filed tender offer materials on Schedule TO, and Cerner has filed a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with the SEC with respect to the tender offer. The tender offer materials (including an Offer to Purchase, a related Letter of Transmittal and certain other tender offer documents) and the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement contain important information. Holders of the Shares are urged to read these documents carefully (as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time) because they contain important information that holders of Shares should consider before making any decision regarding tendering their Shares. The Offer to Purchase, the related Letter of Transmittal and certain other tender offer documents, as well as the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement, are available to all holders of the Shares at no expense to them. The tender offer materials and the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement are available for free at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). However, we supplement our GAAP results with certain non-GAAP financial measures, which we believe enable investors to better understand and evaluate our ongoing operating results and allows for greater transparency in the review and understanding of our overall financial, operational and economic performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or superior to GAAP results and investors should be aware that non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations and should be read only in conjunction with Cerner's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may also be different from similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and may not be comparable to similarly titled captions of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculations. We provide the measures of Adjusted Operating Expenses, Adjusted Operating Earnings, Adjusted Operating Margin, Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share as such measures are used by management, along with GAAP results, to analyze Cerner's business, make strategic decisions, assess long-term trends on a comparable basis, and for management compensation purposes. We provide the measure of Free Cash Flow as such measure takes into account certain capital expenditures necessary to operate our business. Free Cash Flow is used by management, along with GAAP results, to analyze our earnings quality and overall cash generation of the business, and for management compensation purposes.
We calculate each of our non-GAAP financial measures as follows:
Adjusted Operating Expenses - Consists of GAAP operating expenses adjusted for: (i) share-based compensation expense, (ii) acquisition-related amortization, (iii) organizational restructuring and other expense, and (iv) COVID-19 related expense.
Adjusted Operating Earnings - Consists of GAAP operating earnings adjusted for: (i) share-based compensation expense, (ii) acquisition-related amortization, (iii) organizational restructuring and other expense, and (iv) COVID-19 related expense.
Adjusted Operating Margin - Consists of Adjusted Operating Earnings, as defined above, divided by revenues, in the applicable period; the result presented as a percentage.
Adjusted Net Earnings - Consists of GAAP net earnings adjusted for: (i) share-based compensation expense, (ii) acquisition-related amortization, (iii) organizational restructuring and other expense, (iv) COVID-19 related expense, (v) the income tax effect of the aforementioned items, and (vi) share-based compensation permanent tax items.
Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share - Consists of Adjusted Net Earnings, as defined above, divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding, in the applicable period.
Free Cash Flow - Consists of GAAP cash flows from operating activities, less capital purchases and capitalized software development costs.
Adjustments included in the calculations above are described below:
Share-based compensation expense - Non-cash expense arising from our equity compensation and stock purchase plans available to our associates and directors. We exclude share-based compensation expense as we believe the amount of such non-cash expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations. Share-based compensation expense is included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as follows:

General and administrative | 11,077 | 18,578 | |||||||||
Total share-based compensation expense | $ | 34,719 | $ | 47,835 |
Acquisition-related amortization - Non-cash expense consisting of the amortization of customer relationships, acquired technology, and trade name intangible assets recorded in connection with our acquisitions of the Health Services business in February 2015, AbleVets in October 2019, and all subsequent acquisitions. We exclude acquisition-related amortization as we believe the amount of such non-cash expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations. Such amount is included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the caption "Amortization of acquisition-related intangibles."
Organizational restructuring and other expense - Consists of certain charges incurred in connection with our operational improvement initiatives. Expenses in connection with these efforts may include, but are not limited to, consultant and other professional services fees, employee separation costs, contract termination costs, asset impairment charges, and other such related expenses. Also included herein, are $4.450 million of expenses incurred in the first quarter of 2022 in connection with that certain merger agreement dated December 20, 2021 with Oracle Corporation and related affiliates. We exclude organizational restructuring and other expense as we believe the amount of such expense in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations. Organizational restructuring and other expense is included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as follows:

Total organizational restructuring and other expense | $ | 21,179 | $ | 17,195 |
COVID-19 related expense - Consists of certain charges incurred that we can clearly and objectively attribute to the impact of the ongoing Coronavirus disease pandemic ("COVID-19"). These charges include expenses incurred related to trade shows for which we withdrew our participation and expenses associated with incremental cleaning and sanitation efforts for facility space that may have been exposed to the virus. We exclude COVID-19 related expense as we believe the amount of such expense in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations.

Income tax effect of pre-tax adjustments - The GAAP effective income tax rate for the applicable quarterly period is applied to pre-tax adjustments for Adjusted Net Earnings.
Share-based compensation permanent tax items - Consists of permanent items impacting the Company's income tax provision related to our share-based compensation arrangements, including net excess tax benefits recognized upon the exercise of stock options and the vesting of restricted share and share unit awards. We exclude such items as we believe the amount of such items in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations. Such amount is included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the caption "Income taxes."
