Culver City, Calif. - August 8, 2019 - NantHealth, Inc. (NASDAQ-GS: NH), a next-generation, evidence-based, personalized healthcare company, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2019.

“Our 2019 second quarter represents the fourth consecutive quarter of total revenue growth,” said Bob Petrou, Chief Financial Officer of NantHealth. “We generated strong topline growth and substantial gross margin improvement, which was largely driven by continued positive momentum in our Software and SaaS business, and the continuation of cost management throughout the company.”

Software and Services Highlights:
Clinical Decision Support (Eviti):
In Q2, at America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) Institute & Expo 2019, showcased Eviti® Connect, the company’s evidence-based treatment intelligence and web-based oncology decision support platform
In Q2, as previously announced, signed and launched a three-year partnership with CareSource, a leading nonprofit multi-state health plan, expanding Eviti Connect’s total covered lives to over 25 million
In Q2, released v7.8 with Smart Regimen Search, an enhancement that expedites treatment plan entry via intelligent regimen driven drug matches

These include reducing the need for manual intervention via phone and fax processes and saving providers time managing their authorization requests, speeding up delivery of care

A study entitled “The genomic and transcriptomic landscape of left versus right sided breast cancer in 410 cases,” which sheds new light on ESR1 signaling in right sided breast cancers

Business and Financial Highlights
For the 2019 second quarter, total net revenue was $25.7 million, compared with $22.0 million in the 2018 second quarter. Gross profit was $15.9 million, or 62% of total net revenue, compared with $11.5 million, or 52% of total net revenue, for the prior year period. Selling, general and administrative expenses declined to $15.2 million, from $18.4 million in 2018 second quarter. Research and development expenses decreased to $4.6 million from $5.9 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This news release contains references to Non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share, which are financial measures that are not prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). The Company’s management believes that the presentation of Non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplementary information regarding operational performance, because it enhances an investor’s overall understanding of the financial results for the Company’s core business. Additionally, it provides a basis for the comparison of the financial results for the Company’s core business between current, past and future periods. Other companies may define these measures in different ways. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered only as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or as a superior measure to, financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP per share numbers are calculated based on one class of common stock and do not incorporate the effects, if any, of using the two-class method.
