NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(1) ORGANIZATION
Organization
Premier, Inc. (“Premier” or the “Company”) is a publicly held, for-profit Delaware corporation located in the United States. The Company is a holding company with no material business operations of its own. The Company’s primary asset is its equity interest in its wholly owned subsidiary Premier Healthcare Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“PHSI”). The Company conducts substantially all of its business operations through PHSI and its other consolidated subsidiaries. The Company, together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, is a leading healthcare performance improvement company that unites hospitals, health systems, physicians, employers, product suppliers, service providers, and other healthcare providers and organizations to improve and innovate in the clinical, financial and operational areas of their businesses to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving healthcare industry and continues to expand its capabilities to more fully address and coordinate care improvement and standardization in the employer, payor and life sciences markets. The Company also provides services to other businesses, including food service, schools and universities.
The Company’s business model and solutions are designed to provide its members and other customers access to scale efficiencies, spread the cost of their development, provide actionable intelligence derived from anonymized data in the Company’s enterprise data warehouse, mitigate the risk of innovation and disseminate best practices to help the Company’s members and other customers succeed in their transformation to higher quality and more cost-effective healthcare.
The Company, together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, delivers its integrated platform of solutions through two business segments: Supply Chain Services and Performance Services. See Note 13 - Segments for further information related to the Company’s reportable business segments. The Supply Chain Services segment includes one of the largest healthcare group purchasing organization (“GPO”) programs in the United States, supply chain co-management, purchased services and direct sourcing activities. The Performance Services segment consists of three sub-brands: PINC AITM, the Company’s technology and services platform with offerings that help optimize performance in three main areas – clinical intelligence, margin improvement and value-based care – using advanced analytics to identify improvement opportunities, consulting and managed services for clinical and operational design, and workflow solutions to hardwire sustainable change in the provider, life sciences and payer markets; Contigo Health®, the Company’s direct-to-employer business which provides third-party administrator services and management of health-benefit programs that allow employers to contract directly with healthcare providers as well as partner with healthcare providers to provide employers access to a specialized care network through Contigo Health’s centers of excellence program; and RemitraTM, the Company’s digital invoicing and payables business which provides financial support services to healthcare providers and suppliers.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of all majority-owned subsidiaries over which the Company exercised control and when applicable, entities for which the Company had a controlling financial interest or was the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. 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, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, unless otherwise disclosed. 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 2022 Annual 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, but not limited to, estimates for net administrative fees revenue, software licenses, other services and support revenue, contract assets, deferred revenue, contract costs, allowances for credit losses, reserves for net realizable value of inventory, obsolete inventory, useful lives of property and equipment, stock-based compensation, deferred tax balances including valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, uncertain tax positions, values of investments not publicly traded, projected future cash flows used in the evaluation of asset impairments, values of call rights, values of earn-out liabilities and the allocation of purchase 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.
(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in the 2022 Annual Report.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2021-08 Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, (“ASU 2021-08”), which requires that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company will early adopt ASU 2021-08 during the second quarter of fiscal 2023 and as such, this new standard will be effective for the Company for business combinations occurring in the current fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
FFF Put and Call Rights
On July 29, 2021, the FFF shareholders’ agreement was amended resulting in the termination of the FFF Put Right and the derecognition of the FFF Put Right liability.
In the event of a Key Man Event (generally defined in the FFF shareholders’ agreement as the resignation, termination for cause, death or disability of the majority shareholder), the Company has a call right that requires the majority shareholder to sell its remaining interest in FFF to the Company, and is exercisable at any time within 180 calendar days after the date of a Key
Man Event (the “Call Right”, together with the FFF Put Right, the “Put and Call Rights”). As of September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the Call Right had zero value. In the event that the Call Right is exercised, the purchase price for the additional interest in FFF will be at a per share price equal to FFF’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“FFF EBITDA”) over the twelve calendar months prior to the purchase date multiplied by a market adjusted multiple, adjusted for any outstanding debt and cash and cash equivalents, divided by the number of shares of FFF common stock then outstanding (“Equity Value per Share”).
Earn-out liabilities
An earn-out liability was established in connection with the acquisition of substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of Acurity, Inc. and Nexera, Inc. (the “Acurity and Nexera asset acquisition”) in February 2020. The earn-out liability is classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The earn-out liability arising from expected earn-out payments related to the Acurity and Nexera asset acquisition was measured on the acquisition date using a probability-weighted expected payment model and is remeasured periodically due to changes in management’s estimates of the number of transferred member renewals and market conditions. In determining the fair value of the contingent liabilities, management reviews the current results of the acquired business, along with projected results for the remaining earn-out period, to calculate the expected earn-out payment to be made based on the contractual terms set out in the acquisition agreement. The Acurity and Nexera earn-out liability utilized a credit spread of 1.8% at September 30, 2022 and 1.6% at June 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the undiscounted range of outcomes is between $0 and $30.0 million. A significant decrease in the probability could result in a significant decrease in the value of the earn-out liability. The fair value of the Acurity and Nexera earn-out liability at September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022 was $22.4 million and $22.8 million, respectively.

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements
As a result of the August 2020 Restructuring, the Company recorded non-interest bearing notes payable to former limited partners during the three months ended September 30, 2020. Although these notes are non-interest bearing, they include a Level 2 input associated with an implied fixed annual interest rate of 1.8% (see Note 7 - Debt and Notes Payable). As of September
30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the notes payable to former limited partners were recorded net of discounts of $7.7 million and $9.1 million, respectively.
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, no non-recurring fair value measurements were required relating to the measurement of goodwill and intangible assets for impairment.
Financial Instruments For Which Fair Value Only is Disclosed
The fair values of non-interest bearing notes payable, classified as Level 2, were less than their carrying value by $0.1 million at both September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022 based on assumed market interest rates of 1.6% for both periods.
Other Financial Instruments
The fair values of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and the Credit Facility (as defined in Note 7 - Debt and Notes Payable) approximated carrying value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
(5) CONTRACT BALANCES
Deferred Revenue
Revenue recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2022 that was included in the opening balance of deferred revenue at June 30, 2022 was $15.1 million, which is a result of satisfying certain performance obligations.
Performance Obligations
A performance obligation is a contractual obligation to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. Contracts may have a single performance obligation as the agreement to transfer individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other contractual obligations and, therefore, not distinct, while other contracts may have multiple performance obligations, most commonly due to the contract covering multiple phases or deliverable arrangements (licensing fees, SaaS subscription fees, maintenance and support fees, and professional fees for consulting services).
Refer to the Company’s significant accounting policies in the 2022 Annual Report for discussion of revenue recognition on contracts with customers.
Net revenue of $3.0 million was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2022 from performance obligations that were satisfied or partially satisfied in prior periods. The net revenue recognized was driven by an increase of $4.7 million in net administrative fees revenue related to under-forecasted cash receipts received in the current period partially offset by a reduction of $1.7 million associated with revised forecasts from underlying contracts that include variable consideration components as well as additional fluctuations due to input method contracts which occur in the normal course of business.
Net revenue of $1.4 million was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2021 from certain performance obligations that were satisfied or partially satisfied in prior periods. The net revenue recognized was driven by a $1.8 million increase in net administrative fees revenue related to under-forecasted cash receipts received in the current period, partially offset by a reduction of $0.4 million associated with revised forecasts from underlying contracts that include variable consideration components as well as additional fluctuations due to input method contracts which occur in the normal course of business.
Remaining performance obligations represent the portion of the transaction price that has not yet been satisfied or achieved. As of September 30, 2022, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $707.5 million. The Company expects to recognize approximately 41% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months and an additional 24% over the following 12 months, with the remainder recognized thereafter.
(6) GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Credit Facility
PHSI, along with its consolidated subsidiaries, Premier LP and PSCI, as Co-Borrowers, and certain domestic subsidiaries of the Co-Borrowers, as guarantors, entered into an unsecured Credit Facility, dated as of November 9, 2018, and amended as of December 1, 2021, (the “Credit Facility”).
Outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest on a variable rate structure with borrowings bearing interest at either London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.000% to 1.500% or the prime lending rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.000% to 0.500%. At September 30, 2022, the weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility was 3.729% and the annual commitment fee, based on the actual daily unused amount of commitments under the Credit Facility, was 0.100%.
The Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties as well as customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, limitations on liens, indebtedness, fundamental changes, dispositions, restricted payments and investments. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants at September 30, 2022. The Credit Facility also contains customary events of default, including a cross-default of any indebtedness or guarantees in excess of $75.0 million. If any event of default occurs and is continuing, the administrative agent under the Credit Facility may, with the consent, or shall, at the request of a majority of the lenders under the Credit Facility, terminate the commitments and declare all of the amounts owed under the Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable.
The Company had $250.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility at September 30, 2022 with $749.9 million of available borrowing capacity after reductions for outstanding borrowings and outstanding letters of credit. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company borrowed $100.0 million under the Credit Facility. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company did not make any payments on outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. In October 2022, the Company borrowed $125.0 million under the Credit Facility to partially fund the asset acquisition
of TRPN Direct Pay, Inc. and Devon Health, Inc. (collectively, “TRPN”) (see Note 14 - Subsequent Events for further information).

The notes payable to former LPs were issued in connection with the early termination of the TRA as part of the August 2020 Restructuring. Although the notes payable to former LPs are non-interest bearing, pursuant to GAAP requirements, they were recorded net of imputed interest at a fixed annual rate of 1.8%.
Other
At September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the Company had $3.2 million and $5.3 million in other notes payable, respectively, of which $2.2 million and $3.1 million, respectively, were included in current portion of long-term debt in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Other notes payable do not bear interest and generally have stated maturities of three to five years from their date of issuance.
(8) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
As of September 30, 2022, there were 118,746,273 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, outstanding.
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company paid a cash dividend of $0.21 per share on outstanding shares of Class A common stock to stockholders of record on September 1, 2022. On October 21, 2022, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.21 per share, payable on December 15, 2022 to stockholders of record on December 1, 2022.
(9) EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Except when the effect would be anti-dilutive, the diluted earnings per share calculation, which is calculated using the treasury stock method, includes the impact of all potentially issuable dilutive shares of Class A common stock.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used for basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Additionally, the effect of 0.1 million performance share awards was excluded from diluted weighted average shares outstanding as the awards had not satisfied the applicable performance criteria at the end of the period.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the effect of 0.3 million stock options and restricted stock units was excluded from diluted weighted average shares outstanding as it had an anti-dilutive effect. Additionally, the effect of 0.2 million performance share awards was excluded from diluted weighted average shares outstanding as the awards had not satisfied the applicable performance criteria at the end of the period.
(10) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period, which generally equals the stated vesting period. The associated deferred tax benefit was calculated at a rate of 26% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, which represents the expected effective income tax rate at the time of the compensation expense deduction and differs from the Company’s current effective income tax rate.
