- Thanks, Seth.
- Our third quarter results were very strong across the board.
- I'm pleased about where we are today in our position to capitalize on the market going forward, and I couldn't be more proud
- of the performance of our entire organization.
- We delivered across every metric we measure.
- Bookings for the third quarter were 105.5 million, up 25% year-over-year and a new sales record for the company.
- This result is in sync with the increasing demand we have described to you on previous quarterly calls.
- Total non-GAAP revenues were 180.4 million.
- A testament to our growing ability to implement Abe more rapid and higher quality way, and it is worth noting that approximately
- 63% of those revenues were recurring in nature.
- Non-GAAP earnings for the quarter total 25.6 million, which equates to about $0.17 per share, demonstrating as Bill Davis will
- describe later in this call our ability to invest while at the same time operating efficiently and profitably.
- Overall, a great quarter for Allscripts.
- While I'm very pleased with our continuing progress, our growth in bookings, revenue, and operating profit in our business,
- I'm even more excited about the results we are delivering for our clients.
- In a market where meaningful use is now the measure, leadership will be defined by whether or not physicians and other
- caregivers are actually using the electronic health record.
- This is where we believe Allscripts leads the market today and will continue to lead.
- We have more physicians live on an electronic health record than any other ambulatory EHR company.
- And our clients are saying that utilization of our solutions has become central to their ability to deliver high-quality healthcare
- services every day.
- If you want to hear from our clients directly, go to www.allscripts.

- com/go to see over 100 examples of how our clients are using our solutions to improve the quality of care they deliver and
- better manage costs, yielding a very significant return on investment for their organizations.
- This is what we call best demonstrated practices.
- It's not theoretical any longer.
- It's real, and our clients are telling the story for us. Our leadership was also on display at the largest trade show in healthcare IT
- that took place in Atlanta early last month.
- 28,000 CIOs, physicians, practice managers, and other healthcare professionals attended.
- We were excited by the attention we received at HEMS, in fact we read in reports published after the conference and heard
- from many of you on the call today that Allscripts and the Allscripts booth was the busiest on the exhibition floor.
- More important, it was the most successful in our history, and we exceeded our performance goals for meetings, demo s, booth
- visits, and event attendance.
- I would like to acknowledge one of our blue chip clients, Bill spooner, chief information officer of sharp healthcare in San Diego.
- Bill was named CIO of the year and on the day of the awards ceremony, he shared the story of sharps recent upgrade to version
- 11 of our enterprise electronic health record, including a big bang implementation of the orders module for over 400 physicians
- and 2,000 total users.
- Sharps physicians and staff are now placing 100% of their lab, radiology, and cardiology orders electronically using our electronic
- health record.
- A really great example of meaningful use and also what can be accomplished by world-class healthcare organization with strong
- leadership and a commitment to success.
- Speaking of meaningful use, let me say word about the markets and where we are.
- As Bill Davis and I have conveyed, we continue to expect that each quarter will be better than the last in terms of interest in and
- demand for our solutions.
- We believe checks from the Federal Government to physicians, which begin arriving in 2011l compel even more participation
- in the program, and we'll be ready fort with our certified products, marketing, our direct sales engine, a well trained channel,
- and scaled up deployment capacity.
- Each step adds more comfort and certainty to more potential buyers.
- For example, the final rules for both meaningful use and certification, along with a list of organizations designed or designated
- to certify electronic health recordsl be finalized in the May-June time frame.
- Physician groups have now begun to change their focus from meaningful use to finding the best long-term partner.
- And it increasingly means Allscripts.
- There are several reasons for this.

- First, our client footprint, which serves as both a competitive advantage, demonstrating the quality of our solutions, as well as
- an example of how we successfully deploy our solutions.
- It also provides a great source of client references.
- Second, the Allscripts stimulus program, which includes a no payments for six months finance package that bridges the need
- for out of pocket expenditures until the government incentives kick in. And third, our Allscripts stimulus guarantee that our
- products will meet certification criteria.
- The bottom line, physicians assume top companies will be certified, and now they're looking for partners.
- As you can see from our booking results, our sales engine is delivering exceptional performance through direct sales and through
- distribution channels.
- We have had excellent success in our core market of large hospitals and health systems, many of whom are leveraging the stark
- law relaxation, plus the catalyst of stimulus dollars to strengthen relationships with their affiliated physicians in their communities.
- One example is hospital sisters health system in Illinois.
- Hospital sisters selected our enterprise electronic health record and practice management solutions for their 130 employed
- physicians.
- And they are also offering our integrated solution to more than 3,300 independent physicians affiliated with their 13 hospitals.
- We also continue to leverage our client relationships and the breath of our full solution as we cross-sell to health system clients.
- For example, we announced in early February a new agreement with new health, a 1200-bed Long Island, New York hospital
- system that had been a user of our care management product.
- Now, in an agreement valued at over $5 million, new health will deploy our enterprise EHR and practice management solution
- to their 85 specialty clinics, along with our emergency department information system for Nassau university medical center.
- This relationship bridges the GAAP between inpatient and outpatient care.
- Today we announced another example of the appeal of our full solution suite.
- Park view health system in Indiana.
- Park view, in a multimillion dollar agreement, selected enterprise EHR and practice management for 170 of their employed
- physicians with an additional 280 licenses for their affiliated physicians and for future growth.
- And park view will deploy our emergency department information system in six hospitals.
- Park view is also an example of cross sales into our base of legacy Misys practice management clients.
- We're also seeing acceleration in the adoption of electronic health records among small and mid-size physician practices.
- In the third quarter we saw solid increases in my way deployments as well as a major upparticular in sales of Allscripts professional
- EHR.

- We are pleased with our brand recognition in this segment.
- In fact, a recent survey of small and mid-size physician practices found that Allscripts is "clearly dominating.
- " According to the survey, which was published in February, an Allscripts product is number one on the list relative to practices
- that are evaluating new EHR systems as well as new practice management systems. The mind share factor with clinicians is a
- major component of our success today and will pay dividends in the future.
- In terms of execution, we have a number of competitive advantages, beginning with the fact that over 100,000 providers
- practices in groups of less than 10 physicians, already have our practice management system installed and working.
- In the time of stimulus, practices want the fastest way to get the stimulus dollars with the least amount of change and risk,
- ripping thoughts' working practice management system is simply a non stweart most of our base when presented with the
- simple option of upgrading to an Allscripts electronic health record.
- Another advantage is our Allscripts distribution network, comprised of 800 plus experienced sales executives from major partners
- including Henry Schein and cardinal health, two of the largest and most respected distributors in the company, along with
- smaller but highly respected operations like E trends media, and the balance of the 50 or more distributors working with us
- nationally.
- This capability and coverage will be critical as the market heats up. When we talk about seeding the market, I always like to
- mention our electronic prescribing capabilities.
- I think of this as the on-ramp to the electronic healthcare highway and specifically to electronic health records.
- Allscripts recently surpassed the 100,000 user mark for our stand-alone Allscripts E prescribe sliewrks and we are on a path to
- eclipse 100 million prescriptions written by physicians using our software.
- E-prescribing utilization is an important measure of meaningful use, and these numbers confirm that Allscripts continues to be
- the most utilized EHR on the market today.
- These physicians also present an up-sell opportunity to our electronic health record.
- And finally, our health solutions business continues to perform exceptionally well with high recurring revenue delivered through
- our solutions.
- Client wins in the third quarter include Carolinas health system with 29 hospitals who selected our care management solution.
- Carolinas, by the way, owns am-net health which selected our enterprise EHR for their 60 employed physicians and another 40
- affiliated physicians.
- Another new client win is E M H regional healthcare in Ohio, who purchased our emergency department solution for two
- hospitals and one urgent care center.
- What you see are more systems buying into our concept of a connected system of health and the advantage of having a
- comprehensive suite of solutions to sell to these clients.
- Turning to operations, we remain laser focused on ensuring we're ready to take full advantage of the market opportunity.
- We're doing this in two ways.

- First, by bringing on exceptional talent, and second with systems and processes designed to scale.
- On the talent side, I want to welcome Richard sills, who joined our team from computer associates where he led a deployment
- team of over 2,000 individuals.
- We continue to add top notch talent to what a recent research report referred to as an industrial strength management team.
- So people are one component, and processes designed the scale are another.
- Our upgrade enablement crane story a critical success accelerator.
- U AC, as we call it, price quick migration path for our legacy Misys E MR users.
- This four to six-week process lets clients protect their investment in software while moving to our professional electronic health
- record.
- Several hundred client organizations have already signed up for U E C services, and we expect that number to continue to grow.
- We are planning to extend our U E C platform to upgrade Allscripts clients on all of our legacy EHR systems to ensure clients
- will be stimulus ready.
- And we continue to innovate with programs in response to key government initiatives.
- For example, our public sector team is engaging with the new regional extension centers, our RECs, all 60 of which have now
- been named as of yesterday.
- These organizations were created by aura to help primary-care physicians in small practices select and implement electronic
- health records.
- Our RECs team's sole focus is to ensure that Allscripts is one of the primary EHR providers endorsed by these regional extension
- centers.
- While it eats early in the process we're very encouraged by the progress our team is making.
- So, to sum it up this greats quarter for Allscripts across the board.
- I'm very proud of our performance, and I feel confident it that we are strongly positioned as a leader in the healthcare IT industry,
- and that we'll continue to capitalize on an ebbs spansive market opportunity in our space.
- Now let me ask Bill Davis to provide with you the details of the financial aspects of this quarter.
- Bill.

- Before we begin, I would direct you to the non-GAAP results and reconciliation table and explanation included in our press
- release to assist in evaluating financially comparable periods and adjustments to reconcile GAAP and non-GAAP financial metrics.

- If you were to include such transaction fees would you had a approximately 35.4 million to our quarter's reported bookings, for
- a total of 140.9 million.
- As Glen discussede our Q3 bookings were strong across our entire solution portfolio, and we had exceptionally strong sales of
- new enterprise EHR deals as many of the community -- many of which were the community variety that we have discussed on
- this call and in prior press releases.
- We have also had excellent traction in our -- both our professional EHR and my way EHR offerings.
- In fact, this was our strongest quarter for professional EHR this year, which is sold principally to small physician practices.
- I also note that the competitive advantage of our sales footprint through both our direct around partner channels with strong

- mix slightly.
- Year to date, S.A.S.
- book grew to 70.2 million, or about 24% of bookings for the first nine months of fiscal 2010. Our view remains that up to one-third
- of our bookings within the next few years could result from S.A.S.
- deals, especially as we see a larger mix of bookings from smaller practices that will favor a S.A.S.
- -based model for purchasing an EHR.
- Turning to backlog, we ended the quarter with approximately 747 million in reported backlog.
- Our backlog is an important barometer and positive indicator of our quarterly visibility.
- Approximately 74% of our backlog this quarter consists of future revenue from reoccurring sources which include maintenance,
- our S.A.S.
- contracts, as well as transaction fees.
- Backlog totals for the third quarter are as follows.
- Approximately 194 million of clinical software and related services fees.
- Approximately 163 million of subscription and S.A.S.
- fees.
- 246 million of annual maintenance fees that are expected to be recognized over the next 12 months, and finally, approximately
- 144 million of transaction fees which principally consist of EDI transaction fees and, again, are also expected to be recognized
- over the next several months.
- Looking at our income statement revenue in the quarter was 170.9 million and 180.4 million on a non-GAAP basis.
- Allscripts' revenue growth accelerated significantly in the third quarter as non-GAAP revenue grew 16% strerses prior year
- period.
- A 6% sequential growth when compared to the second quarter.
- A stand-out for us this quarter was system sales, or revenues, rather, which grew nearly 16% year-over-year, a powerful testimony
- to our success by offering a leading portfolio of innovative solutions to every segment of the market.
- We shipped significant quantities of software and hardware in the third quarter.
- System revenues also benefited from several of our large intrer prize engagements, making good progress with their
- implementations, which, as you know, drive systems revenue given we recognize such revenue on a percentage of completion
- basis.
- As a result of the strength of our sales in the -- I'm sorry, revenue in the quarter, Allscripts reoccurring revenue was approximately
- 63% in the quarter, versus 67% in the second quarter as we added new licensed clients to our installed base.

- Regarding our professional services, revenue grew year-over-year, but declined sequentially due to -- due large toll expected
- seasonally lower utilization which is typically incurred during the months of December and in early January.
- As you know, there are fewer days to implement and train during the holidays as well as a typically higher level of paid time off
- of our implementation resources.
- As a result, utilization and therefore gross margin, declined somewhat in the quarter versus Q2. It is worth noting the swing to
- positive gross margins of 13% in the third quarter versus negative margins a year ago.
- Illustrating improvement in overall service execution.
- We anticipate a seasonal rebound in services revenue and margin.
- Further out, we anticipate that the operationsal initiatives Glen discussed, including ready, the upgrade enablement center,
- and enhancements to our training, plus product innovations that improve have the speed of deploymentl benefit us here as
- industry demand continues to accelerate.
- Turning to our reoccurring revenue streams, maintenance grew -- revenue grew approximately 11% year-over-year reflecting
- price adjustments the long-term maintenance agreements and growth in our installed base of clients.
- Transactions and other revenue which consists of revenues from our payer path revenue cycle management as well as transaction
- processing business, plus e-prescribing and S.A.S.
- revenue grew approximately 7%, reflecting growth in volumes and a steady increase in our reoccurring S.A.S.
- client base.
- While we were pleased with the up tick in system sales in the quarter, please keep in mind that our long-term revenue model
- contemplates that our overall revenue growth will reflect an increasing mix of S.A.S.
- transaction from smaller practices on a subscription basis and enterprise revenue from larger physician practices, both of which
- take longer to convert into revenue.
- Looking now at margins and expensese non-GAAP gross margin percentage for the third quarter was 56.6%, down slightly
- from Q2 but up 200 basis points year he over year.
- The.
- The year-over-year improvement in non-GAAP gross margin is largely due to the improvement in our professional service
- operations as well as higher mix of licensed sales in the quarter.
- Overall, we continue to expect gross margins to track in the mid-50s range for the immediate future, and we will likely see some
- level of fluctuation quarter to quarter, depending on our revenue mix.
- GAAP operating expenses were 69.8 million for the quarter.
- Non-GAAP operating expenses before stock-based compensation of 4.3 million in deal related amortization that is classified in
- our operating expenses of 2.5 million was approximately 62.9 million in total, up slightly compared to 60.5 million in the second

- Most of the sequential increase in operating expenses was due to the planned R&D expenditures as we discussed with you last
- quarter.
- Our gross R&D expenditures year to date including new product development is over 56 million before software capitalization,
- putting us on target for our anticipated 70 million in R&D investment for fiscal 2010. Operating margins on a GAAP basis were
- approximately 17.7%.
- On a non-GAAP basis operating margins were approximately 21.1% which excludes total deal-related amortization of 5.6 million,
- of which 3.1 million is included in our cost of sales.

- points.
- Capitalized software was approximately 4.9 million in the third quarter bringing our year to date total to 13.4 million, or
- approximately 24% of our year to date total R&D spend.
- Our capitalized software expense will continue to fluctuate somewhat on a quarter to quarter basis, based on our product
- development schedule.

- approaches, wining the gap between Allscripts and our competition, maximizing the significant growth opportunity by making
- sure our clients are indeed stimulus ready.
- Our GAAP tax rate in the quarter was approximately 41%, an increase from the 40% rate we recorded in the second quarter.
- We continue to anticipate a full-year tax rate of approximately 39% and have used this rate for non-GAAP purposes.
- The anticipated reduction in our effective tax rate will largely be driven by the completion of our research and development
- tax credit study in the fourth quarter.
- GAAP net income for the quarter was 18.5 million.
- After adjustments, non-GAAP net income was 25.6 million compared to 21.7 million in the third quarter of last year, or representing
- 18% growth.

- Thin crease is due to our annual maintenance billing that occurred in late January and early February and is offset by a
- corresponding increase in our deferred revenue.
- Such maintenance billings will be recognized into revenue over the course of calendar 2010. As a result, our DSO increased to
- 91 days from # 3 days, and will return to historical levels starting in the fourth quarter.
- Finally, we ended the quarter with approximately 2,358 employees, which compares to 2,307 at the end of the second quarter,

- This is particularly notable as we continue to invest near term for our future growth which we expect will be significant and
- which will play out over the next several years as the federal stimulus program moved the majority vftion tees adopt EHR
- technology.
- We believe that as demand rises, we he will B well positioned to realize the full benefit of our footprint for clients, employees,
- as well as our shareholders.
- Before I turn to guidance, I do want to refamily size several key messages.
- First, we expect to see a continuing steady increase in demand for electronic health records and related technology, with
- acceleration in buying by smaller physician groups more notable at the vend calendar 2010. Smaller physician groups constitute
- at least half of the practicing physicians in this country which means that we anticipate higher deal volumes and smaller values
- per deal as buying patterns shift.
- As I mentioned earlier, as part of this shift, we expect to see an increasing mix of S.A.S.
- bookings and subsequent revenue which will also impact our revenue trajectory as we derive higher visibility and a longer
- reoccurring revenue stream while experiencing more balanced short-term top-line growth.
- Finally, our high mix of reoccurring revenue approximately 63% of which is derived from maintenance revenue, S.A.S.
- agreements and our transaction business together should continue to yield an overall mid to high single-digit organic growth
- rate.
- So turning to guidance, with regard to revenue, we are raising our anticipated revenue for fiscal 2010 to a range of 700 to 705
- million.
- Our prior guidance for fiscal 2010 for revenue was a range of 680 to 700 million.
- Finally, in addition, we are also raising our net income guidance to approximately 67 to 68.5 million, which equates to an EPS
- range of 44 to $0.45 per diluted share, and non-GAAP net income expectations to range of approximately 97 to 9 # .5 million
- which equates to an P S range of 64 to 65 cents per diluted share.
- Our non-GAAP net income guidance contemplates approximately 22. # million of acquisition-related amortization, approximately
- 16.5 million of stock-based compensation, 4 pi 9 million of deferred revenue, approximately 5.3 million of transaction-related
- expenses which were incurred through the first nine months, all on a pretax basis.
- For purposes of calculating the after-tax impact we are assuming a corporate rated, as we have in prior quarters of, 39%.

- We also anticipate a share count for the year of approximately 150 million shares.
- Finally, while we do not typically provide bookings guidance, I thought it was important to note that our revised revenue and
- profit guidance anticipates at least 105 million in fourth quarter bookings.
- With that beg said, twheabl there is sufficient momentum in the marketplace that could result in bookings being as high as 112
- for the quarter.
- So with that, way like to turn the call back over to Glen Tullman for some closing remarks.
- Unknown Speaker*
- thanks, Bill.
- Great news.
- We continue to believe that we're at that time beginning of one of the fastest transformations of an industry in the history of
- the United States, and Allscripts is well positioned to capitalize on this opportunity.
- We often tell clients the time is now, and this has never been more true.
- Not just for clients, but also for investors looking to capitalize on this industry transformation.
- I want to conclude today's call by thanking all of you for your interest in Allscripts and for taking the time to join us today, by
- also thanking our employees for delivering a great quarter, and thanking our clients who allow us to be their partner in our
- Qwest to transform healthcare.
- We'll now turn the call back over to the operator to take your questions.
- Thanks very much.
- Operator.
- Unknown Speaker*
- At this time, I would like to remind everyone in order to ask a question please press star 1 on your telephone keypad.
- Also, please do limit yourselves to one question and one follow-up.
- Your first question comes from Corey Tobin.
- Unknown Speaker*

- 74
- Unknown Speaker*
- a little more details, if we could, on the breakdown of bookings.
- Is there any color on the split between inpatient or outpatient bookings or perhaps for the ambulatory piece what's the split
- between clinical versus practice management systems, or anything else along those lines would be very helpful.
- Unknown Speaker*
- Cory, we don't provide a whole lot of detail beyond the total.
- I think I have historically talked about the health system sealts contributing order of magnitude of kind of 20 to 25% of our total
- bookings.
- I would suggest to that you third quarter we didn't see a material change in terms of that mix.
- As I mentioned, beyond that within the ambulatory space, we were very pleased with our bookings performance across the
- entire spectrum.
- All of our products and resultant channels did very, very well so we're very believed the high end, middle, and the low end.
- I would comment on the practice management.
- There, too, we're also encouraged by the attach rate in terms of practice management sales, most notably in the mid market
- to low end of market, but from a mix perspective, we didn't see any material shift, just in terms of what that was on the PM side.
- Unknown Speaker*
- okay, great.
- One other one, if could I. Glen, following up on your comments regarding the end market momentume is it it safe to say, Aussie
- tend market building, can we translate your comment into one that we should see sequential increase in bookings each quarter
- going forward, or should we more just think about momentum in the end market and bookings still could be volatile?
- Unknown Speaker*
- I think Bill and I have been consistent, Cory, in saying that we he see the demand -- the interest in and demand for our products
- continuing to accelerate each quarter.
- So we don't see that being vol still in any way.
- We see a continued increase in demand.
- I think that was reflected in Bill's guidance to the market where he said that while we expected slightly lower number, we're
- comfortable with giving a higher range on that bookings number, based on what we're seeing, strength in hems, strength in
- buying signals and the like.
- We continue to see this steady up tick in the market quarter by quarter and we've been consistent in saying that.

- 75
- Unknown Speaker*
- Corey, the the only call-out I would make in terms of sequential die ma'am six the contribution from the enterprise side of
- continues.
- As we have said in many quarters in the past, predicting some of those enterprise deals to a specific quarter given their order
- of magnitude, some of those deals beg in the range of $5 to 10 million, they do, in fact, introduce some level of variability from
- quarter to quarter.
- But the baseline demand could not agree more with the comments that Glen made.
- We clearly feel we're in a rising demand environment but I just would caution you in the context of some of the enterprise
- contribution on that score.
- Unknown Speaker*
- And to potentially safe the obvious, safe to assume that could extend well into 2011?
- Unknown Speaker*
- Again, the only call-out there, and I tried to highlight it in my script is that as you shift toward medium to smaller size practice,
- clearly the deal volume is expected to increase, but the average deal size, just because it involves a fear number of physicians
- is naturally going to decline.
- So I just would caution you to really think about it in the context of deal volume, not just in absolute dollars.
- Unknown Speaker*
- Sounds good.
- Great.
- Unknown Speaker*
- Thanks, Corey.
- Unknown Speaker*
- your next question comes from Atif Rahim.
- Unknown Speaker*
- We saw a increase in number of EHR vendors.
- Are you seeing anything on the pricing environment, any pressure there, or how do you see that particularly on the S.A.S.
- side?

- 76
- Unknown Speaker*
- Yeah, this is Glen, Atif.
- We haven't seen.
- That again, as I mentioned in my comments, what's becoming more and more important to people is selecting a vendor who
- can deliver.
- They can have have confidence that number one, they're going to be here.
- Number two, they know how to get to you meaningful use, which is another -- a proxy for saying get me to the money, and
- number three, they want to partner long term that's going to inno vai.
- now, it's interesting.
- We're seeing less and less questions on will you be certified for meaningful use and more and more questions are can we get
- you on BlackBerries and iPhones and windows mobile devices, and now the new tablet from apple.
- They want to know about innovation, they want to know you're going to be here.
- Relative to the smaller players in S A 1st.
- Remember, for most physicians, when you talk about software as a service, they don't think about technology, they say, can
- you bill me monthly.
- This is not -- it would be akin to somebody saying on your cell phone what switching network is AT&T or Verizon using.
- They don't want to know.
- That they want to know is it going to work, and either do I have a client server, is it hosted, is it S.A.S.
- They want a simple way to buy.
- So that's what we're seeing out there.
- In terms of the number of verdicts, we continue to believe that there's a consolidation that is happening, and based on a number
- of folks showing up on our door each month, trying to sell themselves, we think that that's happening more and more -- more
- rapidly.
- So I think you are going to see the larger players take more and more share, and they already after substantial share.
- Unknown Speaker*
- Okay.
- As a follow-up, are you seeing any replacement market developing particularly are you displacing any existing E MR vendors
- in the deals?

- 77
- Unknown Speaker*
- Absolutely.
- Of the electronic health record vendors out there, there's two things going on. One, what you see is some of the vendors that
- are out there won't be able to meet meaningful use.
- And so people are looking for more comprehensive solutions.
- And I tried to highlight in that some of my comments.
- Just this month, if you look at sacred heart, for example, our win and practice management at sacred heart came at the expense
- of one of our most significant vendors.
- Sacred heart was one of their largest customers, and we took it away.
- I said vendors.
- I should have said competitors.
- So that was a big competitive win head to head where we're de-installing one of the common publicly traded vendors that we
- have in the mid market.
- Unknown Speaker*
- got it. Thank you.
- Unknown Speaker*
- Again, please remember to limit yourself to one question and one follow-up question.
- Your next comment or question comes from George Hill.
- Your line is open.
- Unknown Speaker*
- Hey, guys, thanks for taking the call.
- Glen, real quick yes or no question.
- Has this market really tipped yet, or do you think we're waiting to see that?
- Unknown Speaker*
- You knowe again what we're saying -- what we've said is each quarter we're seeing stronger demand and stronger interest.
- I don't think the market has tipped yet.

- 78
- I've said that when the checks start hitting, that's when we're going see an uptick in demand.
- We see very strong continued growth in demand quarter to quarter going forward.
- So I don't think it's, quote unquote, hit yet, but I do think he we're starting to see the results of more physicians getting confident
- that the time is now.
- Unknown Speaker*
- I guess I just want to drill down and get a little more color on a couple of the numbers questions that you highlighted.
- You talked about this single-digit top-line growth.
- Was that at the end of calendar 2010, or should we think about it like a fiscal 2011, 2011, 2012 event?
- Unknown Speaker*
- I'm sorry, George, you're a little muscled.
- I think your question was my comments just about the onslaught of demand towards the end of calendar 2010?
- Unknown Speaker*
- When we should start looking for the single-digit top-line growth.
- Unknown Speaker*
- Again, I think that -- our guidance for this year is indicative of high single digit growth.
- We will be prepared to provide 2011 guidance on our fourth quarter call to preview that a tad bit in keeping with our bookings
- momentum to date, and as we intimated in the fourth quarter, expecting that to continue, that all naturally is going to translate
- into sustained top-line growth.
- The only word of caution that I would give there is my comments around the S.A.S.
- mix and the shift that we do anticipate as the smaller practices take that on, in a greater level than we're seeing today, that's
- going to have some impact just in terms of our top-line growth expectations, but the benefit to that is obviously it's going to
- improve our reoccurring revenue mix.
- But again, we're very comfortable that if you look at our bookings performance to date and convert that to our revenue
- performance, we feel comfortable with what we've conveyed as our revenue growth trajectory or expectations to the mark.
- Unknown Speaker*
- I think I've got a good handle on that dynamic.
- Gross margins, you talked about it hovering the mid-50s this year.

- 79
- Safe to assume -- I don't want to speak too much for the next fiscal year.
- Safe to assume that number would continue to tick up with a 6 in front of it for 2011?
- Unknown Speaker*
- I would hesitate to get into 2011 guidance at this point.
- I would say on gross margins, again I would encourage people to follow the guidance we have provided, and as some of these
- initiatives ready, the ready initiatives and the U E C and the like, that's going to start to express itself, and quite honestly, way
- like to show some demonstrated success before we translate that into future projection for the market.
- But I would just stay tuned on that front.
- Unknown Speaker*
- I guess last quick one before, I hop off the line, Glen, there's a report that came out highlighting the same thing that the other
- survey that you cited highlighted.
- You guys definitely have a dominant mine swlaimplt can you do to increase the win rate?
- Unknown Speaker*
- Again, we're -- I think, if you talk to Jeff, who heads our sales operations, we have a number of targeted initiatives that we're
- focused on win rate.
- The good news is that all these surveys are saying two things.
- One, we're the most considered solution.
- And two, within our own base, the Misys space, that I think the most recent survey said 100% of the people they surveyed
- indicated they were going to stay with their existing vendor, and that was us. So very, very strong news from that perspective.
- In terms of win rate, we have very targeted programs, and I'd rather, as Bill was saying, I would rather talk about them after we
- increase the win rate than telling you exactly and telling our competitors exactly what we're going do. But suffice it to say that
- our objective is to win more than our fair share of the market, and we're looking to expand our market share.
- So we're going to be very aggressive.
- Unknown Speaker*
- Thanks for that.
- Unknown Speaker*
- Thank you.

- Unknown Speaker*
- Your next question comes from Sean Wieland.
- Unknown Speaker*
- My questions are on the seasonality of bookings.
- Historically you guys have done close to a third of bookings in the fourth quarter.
- Is something this year making that change, or is that still consistent?
- Unknown Speaker*
- He yeah, Sean, and that was the very reason I gave more guidance than I would typically do around this fourth quarter in terms
- of booking expectations.
- So again, I would really encourage you to follow that, just in terms of what we convey.
- I think the dynamic at play here is again, couple factors.
- One is the timing of some of these larger enterprise transactions.
- We talked about our first quarter benefiting from north shore.
- We talked about the fact that our third quarter benefited from Catholic health.
- We've purposely gotten out of continues of trying predict future large enterprise deals in any particular quarter, so meaningful
- up side to our expectations.
- But that's a major contributor, just thinking the about our first three-quarters performance and how that might translate to this
- fourth quarter.
- Secondarily this is a thabs has gone through a change, in fiscal periods.
- Last year was the first fourth quarter that ended in May, so I don't think one experience defines a trend, and so I really want to
- remain cautious until we kind of see how that plays out.
- The third consideration is a mix consideration.
- We do, as we've said, believe as we move into the second half of this year you're going start to see movement towards the low
- end of the market.
- There's a possibility that could accelerate somewhat so that's another contributing factor for what I believe to be kind of prudent
- guidance in terms of fourth quarter expectations that we outlined.
- Unknown Speaker*
- Okay, great, thanks a lot.

- Unknown Speaker*
- Your next question comes from Jamie stockton.
- Your line is open.
- Unknown Speaker*
- Thanks for taking my questions.
- I guess they're both oriented towards what's going to drive that acceleration on the low end of the market.
- I think probably one of the biggest programs out there are the regional extension centers.
- Can you give us any more color on when you think those are going to King?
- It seems like there's a frit large and growing group of physicians that they're building, then they're just trying to figure out their
- short list of which EHR they're going to push into that base.
- Can you talk about that?
- Unknown Speaker*
- Sure.
- Well, again, and it geese that we kind of anticipated there would be a question.
- It's a very good one.
- The regional extension centers, the last group of which were selected yesterday, or another group of which were selected
- yesterday with millions of dollars more allotted to that program, are something we're very focused on. As you know, the way
- the program works is for every physician, there's $5,000 set aside.
- And that's broken up into three tranches.
- The first third is given when the physician signs up with a regional extension center.
- The second third of that 5,000 is given when that physician is trained, and the last third is given when that physician gets to
- meaningful use.
- And each of the regional extension centers is likely to select two or three different providers of software or vendors that they
- will train for.
- So right now we're spending a tremendous amount of time working with the regional extension centers, making sure that they
- all are aware of our offerings, the support we price, and most important, when you talk about competitive advantage, if you're
- a regional extension center, the question is how do you get paid as quickly as possible.

- Apr. 07. 2010 / 8:30PM, MDRX - Q3 2010 Allscripts-Misys Healthcare Solutions, Inc. Earnings Conference Call
- 82
- If you go to a user, that doesn't have an electronic health record, but also doesn't after practice management system, you've
- got to install practice management first.
- And that takes a lot of time, the and that's a delay relative to getting the money.
- So what they he is special appreciate about Allscripts is given a third of the physicians in the country already have one piece of
- our software and over 100,000 have our practice management systems, an easy route for them is to go to our base and say,
- here, we will overlay an Allscripts electronic health record on top of that, and they get them signed up, they get them trairngsd
- and they get to meaningful use more quickly.
- So that's our strategy there.
- It's been working effectively, and this market is moving real-time.
- So again, if you think about, what makes us unique, stimulus guarantee, our distribution network, our brand, which is that mind
- share, the current installation, which I just mentioned, over 100,000, and lastly, the portfolio, because they want to do more
- than just use an electronic health record.
- So that's why we're going to win with regional extension centers.
- Unknown Speaker*
- Glen, the other question I had on the -- Well, I ghes could impact the practices of any size, but my guess is it it will have a
- disproportionate one on smaller practices, the e-prescribing number that you threw out, seems like it's grown.
- Can you talk about the tran -- what's the generally timing the on that?
- Unknown Speaker*
- There's a very simple answer to that, and let me just use one example.
- If you are going from our electronic prescribing, to our professional system, all of your data is migrated with one touch.
- So it's essentially a one-touch migration that puts all of that data into our professional EHR.
- Again, great work by our chief innovation officer, Stanley crane, in making that has.
- Then, of course, you've got to go through the training.
- The good news is that same electronic prescribing, which they're familiar with is the same electronic prescribing used in our
- professional EHR.
- So now there's that great crossover, where they're familiar with the application.
- And the way most people start using an electronic health record is module by module.
- So in that case, they adopt the electronic health record, they start e-prescribing, then they add labs, next thing you know, you
- go in, you say is -- we see that base as, I said, the on-ramp, our director of -- vice president of our Investor Relations likes to say
- the on-ramp to the electronic healthcare highway.

- 83
- And I think that's good description.
- Unknown Speaker*
- Okay, thanks.
- Unknown Speaker*
- Your next question comes from Charles Rhyee.
- Unknown Speaker*
- Thanks for taking the question.
- Question on gid arngs Bill.
- If I look at it, and take the full-year guidance back out, looking at what the implied 4Q guidance is on the revenue line, is it fair
- to think -- you talked about professional services ticking back up, sort of for the seasonality.
- But when I look at that time other bucks, is it fair to think what we're really going to see is particular -- a tick-up of the system
- sales?
- Unknown Speaker*
- Yeah, we're -- without getting into too much specificity, I think that the -- we're not expecting anything unusual from a reoccurring
- revenue ramp perspective.
- So to cushion in on service component in the system sales component is absolutely appropriate.
- Unknown Speaker*
- So, if I look at the third quarter and sort of the take-down of the backlog, looks like it's kind of sped up relative to the previous
- two quarters, and it looks like we're implying that accelerating again.
- Can you talk about sort of what's going on structurally, I guess in terms of implementation and your ability to recognize the
- revenue faster, and how should I think of that in terms of obviously not talking specifically to guide arngs but just generally as
- we look out in the future?
- Unknown Speaker*
- Sure, there's two things that I would call out for you, and I tried to state this last quarter.
- Maybe not as directly as I should have, but there's a natural lag in terms of our enterprise booking performance, and when that
- starts to present itself from a revenue perspective, because on the enterprise we recognize on percentage of completion
- accounting.

- 84
- So there's nothing that we're doing anything different, per se, it's just indicative of the fact that you're starting to see kind of
- the full effect of those transactions going into production and us being able to recognize the revenues.
- So enterprise performance and backlog conversion point number one.
- Point number two is that Glen made reference to new leadership in the service organization.
- There is a renewed focus on really, quite honestly, aggressive backlog management, and making certain that resource allocation
- is pointed in moving clients forward with an ear towards revenue op tie me sanction that respect.
- So I think you're starting to see the early stages of some of that work, and just even tighter backlog management under that
- new leadership.
- So those would be the two considerations, which both, I think, have a decent amount of sustainability to them.
- Unknown Speaker*
- Is one having more influence than the other?
- Is it a fact -- is it simply, like if I look back, maybe three, four quartering a, to the fourth quarter last year, nice, big sequential up
- tick in the license revenues is that what we're seeing here in the third quarter of this year, and so I should look at that it way?
- Or would you say it's explore the better management, the backlog in general?
- Unknown Speaker*
- I would say -- I mean, as it pertains to the third quarter, and I don't have the breakdown in front of me, but my recollection was
- is that it was largely due to the enterprise kind of dynamic, and again, the build of the strong bookings over the last few quarters,
- and that's starting to manifest itself in revenue take-down, and you're starting to see the early stages, thus of, smaller impact
- in some of the backlog management that I was describing.
- Unknown Speaker*
- Okay, that's helpful, bick just wanted to make sure, question earlier about bookings, you talked about you expect the sequential
- demand in bookings to generally be an upward trend.
- Should we see that translate pretty evenly down to system sales as well?
- Unknown Speaker*
- Yeah, I mean, for the most part, yes, there's a little bit of mix consideration there on the margin that I would just caution you
- on, just in terms of, again, how much of that fourth quarter bookings comes in the form of S.A.S.
- versus how much of it comes in the form of add-on sales to existing customers, then how much of it is enterprise that's going
- to go straight to backlog.
- So we feel like we've taken some conservative assumptions in that 105 kind of baseline that we talked about in terms of what
- we're needing.

- So to the extent we're wrong to the positive, then there will likely be a little bit of revenue up side to what we're conveying.
- Unknown Speaker*
- great, thanks.
- Last question.
- You talked about over time you expect to get to maybe a third S.A.S.
- , and starting to see that up tick I at the vend calendar '10. How long do you think it takes you to get there, you think?
- Unknown Speaker*
- I think we're talking about several quarters.
- I think that you're well into calendar 2011 before we kind of hit that run rate level.
- Unknown Speaker*
- Great, thanks a lot, guys.
- Unknown Speaker*
- Your next question comes from Richard close.
- Your line is open.
- Unknown Speaker*
- Thank you.
- Can you hear me okay?
- Unknown Speaker*
- Yeah, we can, Richard.
- Unknown Speaker*
- great.
- Bill, just on the bookings and talking the about timing of enterprise deals, I guess the fourth quarter direction that you gave
- here on the bookings, should we imply that maybe the sizable deals that you took do you know in the most recent third quarter
- indicates that maybe you guys haven't filled the pipeline with enterprise deals for the fourth quarter?

- Unknown Speaker*
- No, not conveying that at all.
- Actually, let me make two observations.
- One is I honestly believe some people have overstated the contribution of Catholic health in the third quarter, most notably,
- ace mention he'd, I think on last quarter's call, it has the potential of beg as large as north shore, Long Island Jewish.
- As you know, our booking definition is minimal con track you the wall commitment.
- Half of that of north shore so closer to 5 million.
- I have seen several people publish numbers that were close to 2x. That so that's point number one.
- Point number two is that from a pipeline perspective we remain very bullish in terms of the number of pipeline opportunities
- that we have ton enterprise side.
- When they get to be the Moore complex high dollar value what I said earlier is the fact that we really have gotten out of the
- business of really banking on those to deliver any one particular quarter.
- This fourth quarter in particular, because, again, we've witnessed the circumstances where they don't materialize for one reason
- or another, and Catholic health is a perfect example of. That there was one that had real possibility of closing in our second
- quarter, and it closed in the first week of the third quarter.
- Really, the way I would interpret our guidance, not a belief the pipeline is going down, rather we feel like we're being prudent
- and not putting undue reliance on any deal in coming up with expectation.
- Unknown Speaker*
- that's helpful.
- Glen, you detailed some pretty nice-size wins the opportunity on the affiliated side.
- How quickly do you guys feel that you will be able to penetrate those affiliated bases on all the wins that you guys have have
- had over the last couple quarters?
- Unknown Speaker*
- We're gearing up to do that.
- We're learning, as we go. We eased very good success so far.
- North shore, Long Island, Jewish, it always helps when an organization brings in a group of physicians.
- Indicates to them that they will be either buying or subsidizing the application.
- They will be providing assistance, and they will be providing connectivity, for example, in north shore's casek and in some of
- the cases I mentioned today, to all of the ERs.

- As that starts to happen, people are going to understand that having a connected system of health is critical from a safety
- perspective and from an ease of use perspective.
- So, net-net, we think that in every case where we're getting these, whether it be north should, whether it be U-mass, another
- great client, we're making real solid progress in terms of the numbers.
- And again, what's nice from our perspective is if everything happened today that would be a problem.
- We couldn't handle it all.
- So it's gearing up nicely as we're gearing up, and I would describe that in the same way Bill and I have described each quarter.
- Each quarter we'll get better, incrementally better than the quarter before, and there will be a nice build on that.
- If and then do you think they are going to be professional deals or my way deals?
- Unknown Speaker*
- That's going to vearks depending on the market.
- In some cases, they will offer both, and some of these, when they say affiliated practices, while most of them are small, if I use
- -- I will use north shore as an example yet again, there are two groups there that have more than 50 physicians each that earn
- the initial tranche.
- And those groups will like go with enterprise.
- There are other groups that are going with other of our application, whether it be professional or whether it be my way.
- Wind also mention that remember, some of the groups in these respective market areas bought ahead of the announcements.
- So they may have one of our systems. The good news is if you're buying all scrirngs you are going to be connected to the net
- work.
- And that's reasugar for these clients, because they want to be connected, and when you're talking the about a network that's
- already a third of tftions in America, there's a lot of comfort that comes from that.
- Physicians like that security.
- Unknown Speaker*
- Thank you.
- Unknown Speaker*
- Why don't we take two more questions, just to be fair with people's time.

- Unknown Speaker*
- Your next question comes from Glenn Garmont.
- Unknown Speaker*
- as I think about the small end of the market, I can appreciate that that end of the market hasn't really heated up yet in earnest,
- but what's the biggest obstacle at this point?
- Is it -- presumably the uncertainty around meaningful juice starting to dissipate.
- Does it economy?
- Is it sim my the fact that they have -- still have a lot of time relative to large practices?
- What do you think is holding back at this point?
- Unknown Speaker*
- It's a little bit of all of the above.
- Some of them are saying I will wait until I see the first check from the government to believe it. Some of them are saying I will
- wait until I see whether any of the big health systems in our area are going to give this to me or give assistance.
- Some of them are saying, I surely don't want to change my practice management system, and they've been approached by
- folks who are suggest they do that, so they're waiting for someone like Allscripts to come along and say, you don't have to
- change your practice management system.
- And some of them are just taking a little bit of a wait and see, hey, I still have some time, I'm going wait and see, I'm going get
- started a little more slowly.
- So it's all of the above, but that said, every month, every quarter, we're seeing more and more of them start to explore, start to
- get interested, start to see that the number of practices around them are adopting.
- Remember, 163,000 practices have less than three physicians.
- And it's going to take some time.
- But that's good news for us. The other thing I would say is, a recent article in the "New York Times," the and it was interesting,
- because it actually featured one of the announcements today, park view, where some of their in dependent physicians had
- decided to actually join, become a part of the larger integrated delivery network or healthcare system, in part due to automation.
- So it was pretty fascinating, because one of the reasons the physician gave in the article was, well, they're fully automated, I'll
- be fully connected, I will have all their information, and it will be easier.
- So that's also a factor.
- But, net-nerkts again, I think the real message is the time is now, it is happening, and every quarter is going to get better.

- Unknown Speaker*
- Appreciate the comments.
- Thanks, Glen.
- Unknown Speaker*
- last question.
- Unknown Speaker*
- Your last question comes from Greg Bolan.
- Your line is open.
- Unknown Speaker*
- thanks and congrats on a great quarter.
- Bill, as it relates to no payments program, can you describe kind of tad vantages or disadvantages of dealing with the -- your
- banking partner rather than dealing direct well an individual client when it comes to the visibility of payments?
- Unknown Speaker*
- Yeah, I actually -- about 25% of our professional my way transactions actually do involve third-party financing, and I've said to
- many investors, I would actually take a lot higher percentage of that, the simple reason being the surety of collection and ease
- of administration from our perspective is just that much better.
- We've gotten this thing down to a pretty des sun science in terms of the evaluation of these customers from a credit perspective
- and really have engrinned it into our sales process in a very effective way.
- So we are very pleased with the program.
- It's net positive to us, again, from an administration cash flow perspective, and we'd take more, if it was of interest, to our
- customers.
- Unknown Speaker*
- that's helpful, thanks.
- Last one here, with regards to the recruiting environment, first, call it season quota carrying reps, can you talk about the level
- of competition that Diane and her team are encountering during possibly poaching ex spie decisions, and how would you
- characterize your discipline with kind of, call it buying top talent?

- Unknown Speaker*
- Well, think the good news this is Glen, one, and Diane Adams, we went out and got world-class talent to help us recruit talent.
- So that's a great start.
- We aren't doing a lot of poaching in any respect.
- We're looking to hire in a few key areas, but one of the initiatives we're undertaking is hiring a substantial number of college
- grads, and we believe with our ready systems and our upgrade enablement center that we can quickly train those folks to
- educate potential prospects and buyers, similarly, remember, the RECs are going to be helpful in terms of training folks.
- But overall, I think Allscripts remains a very desirable place to work.
- We've won a number of awards for top places to work in our respective communities that we operate in, company is a very
- giving company from that perspective, so I think people look to us, and they like our locations.
- It's in the like we're in the middle of Wisconsin or anything.
- We're in great locations to work.
- In Raleigh and other places, and we're doing a good job recriewlting.
- Unknown Speaker*
- that's great.
- Thanks, guides.
- Unknown Speaker*
- okay, thanks, everyone.
- And again, very much appreciate everyone joining us on the call.
- We couldn't be more excited about what we see happening in the market, and a special thanks to our existing investors to all
- the clients that have confidence in us, and to the employees who are making it happen every quarter.
- Thanks very much.
- We'll talk to you next quarter.
- Unknown Speaker*
- this concludes today's conference call.
- You may now disconnect.
