Details of the acquisition

The acquisition is expected to result in an increase in the Adjusted Funds from Operations at $0.01 per share within 12 months of getting complete ownership of the property. The Company plans to divest some of its properties with lower cash flows from rental income and growth prospects. The proposed divested properties would be of an equivalent amount as that of the current acquisition. However, the Company is yet to identify these apartment communities with lower expected free cash flow internal rates of return (FCF IRR) and would depend on the pricing. The Company expects that the FCF IRR of the current acquisition to be more than 300 bps (basis points) as the compared to the FCF IRR of the properties being considered for divestment to fund the acquisition of Bent Tree.

The Company relied on bank borrowings to complete the acquisition of Bent Tree.

Commenting on the acquisition Terry Considine, Chairman and CEO of AIMCO, said:

“We are pleased to add Bent Tree to the AIMCO portfolio, increasing our exposure to the attractive Fairfax County submarket. Located within commuting distance of downtown D.C. and just minutes from Dulles International Airport, Bent Tree offers residents convenient access to employment while also providing comfortable homes and onsite amenities that support their suburban lifestyle.”

www.active-investors.com/registration-sg/?symbol=ARNC

Earnings Highlights and Summary

Arconic recorded fourth quarter 2017 revenue of $3.27 billion, up 10% compared to revenue of $3.24 billion, driven by higher volumes across all segments and higher aluminum prices. The Company’s reported numbers exceeded analysts’ estimates of $3.07 billion.

For full year (FY) 2017, Arconic’s revenue grew 5% to $12.96 billion compared to $12.39 billion in FY16, driven by higher volumes across all segments and higher aluminum prices.

During Q4 2017, Arconic’s consolidated adjusted before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) was $436 million, up 54% on a y-o-y basis. During Q4 2017 Arconic delivered net cost savings of $68 million, or 2.1% of revenue, and for FY17, net cost savings of $232 million, or 1.8% of revenue.

Excluding special items, Arconic’s adjusted net income was $152 million, or $0.31 per share, in Q4 2017 driven by net cost savings and higher volumes, which were partially offset by unfavorable product pricing and mix. The Company’s earnings beat Wall Street’s estimates of $0.24 per share.

For FY17, the Company reported 2017 net loss attributable to Arconic of $74 million, or $0.28 per share, compared to $941 million, or $2.31 per share, in FY16. Excluding the impact of special items, Arconic’s adjusted income was $618 million, or $1.22 per share.

The segment’s adjusted EBITDA was $124 million versus $116 million in the year earlier same quarter, driven by strong automotive volume and net cost savings. GRP’s adjusted EBITDA margin was 10.0% for Q4 2017, down 80 basis points y-o-y, driven by a 160-basis point negative impact of higher aluminum prices.

The Transportation and Construction Solutions (TCS) division delivered revenue of $518 million in Q4 2017, reflecting an increase of 14% compared to revenue of $456 million. The segment’s adjusted EBITDA was $84 million in the reported quarter versus $75 million in the year ago same period, as higher volume and cost reductions more than offset headwinds, including unfavorable price and mix and higher aluminum prices. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 16.2%, down 20 basis points y-o-y.

www.active-investors.com/registration-sg/?symbol=PINC

Earnings Highlights and Summary

For the second quarter ended December 31, 2017, Premier generated net revenues of $411.4 million, reflecting an increase of 15% from $358.5 million in Q2 FY17. The Company’s revenue numbers exceeded analysts’ estimates by $18.54 million.

Premier’s net income was $19.77 million in Q2 FY18 compared to $246.2 million in Q2 FY17. In accordance with GAAP, the Company’s net income in Q2 FY18 and Q2 FY17 included non-cash adjustments of $317.9 million and $335.3 million, respectively, to reflect the change in the redemption value of limited partners’ Class B common unit ownership at the end of each period. After these non-cash adjustments, Premier’s net income attributable to stockholders was $0.50 per share compared to $0.46 per share in the reported quarter.

During Q2 FY18, Premier’s non-GAAP adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) increased 9% to $133.5 million from $122.0 million in Q2 FY17. The Company’s adjusted EBITDA growth was primarily driven by growth in net administrative fee revenues, including contributions related to the Innovatix and Essensa acquisition, net of the reduction in equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates, due to acquiring the remaining 50% of Innovatix, along with an increase in product revenues.

Premier’s GAAP net loss per diluted share was $1.66 in Q2 FY18 compared to a diluted net income per share of $1.50 in Q2 FY17. The Company’s non-GAAP net income increased 7% to $70.0 million from $65.2 million in the year earlier same quarter. The Company’s adjusted fully distributed EPS increased to $0.50 from $0.46 in Q2 FY17.

Segment Results

During Q2 FY18, Premier’s Supply Chain Services segment generated net revenues of $324.9 million, reflecting an increase of 19% from $272.7 million in Q2 FY17, driven by growth in the Company’s group purchasing organization (GPO) and products businesses. GPO net administrative fees revenues grew 23% to $159.3 million on a y-o-y basis, primarily driven by contributions from the Innovatix and Essensa businesses, which were acquired in December 2016. The segment’s Product revenues increased 14% to $162.1 million in Q2 FY18 from $142.4 million in Q2 FY17, attributable to a double-digit growth from both the integrated pharmacy and direct sourcing businesses.

The Supply Chain Services segment’s adjusted EBITDA increased 11% to $132.0 million in Q2 FY18 from $119.0 million in Q2 FY17. The increase largely reflects growth in net administrative fees revenues.

During Q2 FY18, Premier’s Performance Services segment generated net revenues of $86.5 million, representing a 1% increase from $85.9 million in Q2 FY17, primarily due to a growth in the Company’s informatics and technology services business, primarily related to cost management solutions and a growth in ambulatory quality solutions.

The Performance Services segment’s adjusted EBITDA fell 2% to $27.9 million in Q2 FY18 from $28.6 million in Q2 FY17. The growth was impacted by an increase in cost of sales, primarily related to an increase in staffing and costs to support growth and performance-based engagements, and was impacted on a comparable basis due to higher revenue recognition from performance-based engagements in the prior year.

Cash Flows and Liquidity

Premier’s cash provided by operating activities was $206.5 million in H1 FY18 compared to $138.4 million in H1 FY17. The increase in cash flow from operations was primarily driven by an increase in net administrative fees, as well as decreased outflows related to working capital needs. At December 31, 2017, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $163.0 million compared to $156.7 million at June 30, 2017.

Through December 31, 2017, Premier repurchased approximately 2.6 million shares of Class A common stock for $74.7 million.

The Company’s non-GAAP free cash flow was $122.2 million in H1 FY18 compared to $59.4 million in H1 FY17.

Outlook

For the full fiscal year 2018, Premier is projecting non-GAAP adjusted fully distributed EPS to increase to $2.24 – $2.37.

Blog Exposure – CHMP Recommended Against Approval of Puma Biotech’s Neratinib for Extended Adjuvant Treatment of HER2-Positive Breast Cancer

Stock Monitor: BioMarin Pharma Post Earnings Reporting

LONDON, UK / ACCESSWIRE / February 27, 2018 / Active-Investors.com has just released a free research report on Puma Biotechnology, Inc. (NASDAQ: PBYI) (“Puma Biotech”). If you want access to this report all you need to do is sign up now by clicking the following link www.active-investors.com/registration-sg/?symbol=PBYI as the Company’s latest news hit the wire. On February 23, 2018, the Company announced that the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) recommended the refusal of the Marketing Authorisation Application (MAA) for the Company’s neratinib for the extended adjuvant treatment of early stage HER2-positive breast cancer.

www.active-investors.com/registration-sg/?symbol=PBYI

The Company may request a re-examination of the opinion. A letter of intent to seek re-examination should be submitted within 15 days of acknowledgement of receipt of the final opinion package. Puma Biotech plans to submit this request in accordance with this timeline.

Puma Biotech Announced Results of CHMP Oral Explanation for Neratinib

On January 23, 2018, the Company announced that the CHMP had communicated a negative trend vote after meeting with the Company to discuss the MAA for neratinib. A negative trend vote meant it was unlikely that CHMP would provide a positive opinion related to the Company’s MAA at the formal CHMP meeting and that additional steps would need to be taken to gain marketing approval in Europe. CHMP’s opinion was based on the results from both the Phase-III ExteNET trial in extended adjuvant early stage HER2-positive breast cancer and the Phase-II CONTROL trial in extended adjuvant early stage HER2-positive breast cancer.

CHMP Approved Drug for Treatment of HER2-Positive Early Stage Breast Cancer

In June 2017, CHMP adopted a positive opinion recommending approval of Novartis’s Kisqali® (ribociclib) in combination with an aromatase inhibitor for treatment of postmenopausal women with hormone receptor positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 negative (HR+/HER2-) locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer as initial endocrine-based therapy.

In September 2017, CHMP adopted a positive opinion recommending granting a marketing authorization for the biosimilar medicinal product of Samsung Bioepis’ trastuzumab (Ontruzant), intended for the treatment of early and metastatic breast cancer, and metastatic gastric cancer. Ontruzant is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer.

About HER2-Positive Breast Cancer

HER2-positive breast cancer is a breast cancer that tests positive for a protein called human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), which promotes the growth of cancer cells.

Controversial Article Released by Consortium on Reaching Excellence in Education

The Consortium on Reaching Excellence in Education, a leader in educational professional development, released a controversial article titled “Students Want Interesting Math Over Real World Math”.

Oakland, United States – February 27, 2018 /PressCable/

OAKLAND, CA–CORE (Consortium on Reaching Excellence in Education) has released a potentially controversial article “Students Want Interesting Math Over Real World Math”, bringing some cause for concern, as the article may upset those who focus solely on root practice or the belief that all math has to have “real world” application.

The 860 word article examines the high points and low points of engaging students in problem solving during math, in the pursuit of providing a glimpse into what students actually find relevant and motivating and to help math teachers create math situations that are the most engaging and interesting to their students for educators and those interested in learning more about best practices in education. In somewhat typical manner though, a certain element of the article is set to spark discontent amongst curriculum writers and fundamentalist educators.

Below is a portion of the piece, which neatly exemplifies the controversial element:

Fifteen years ago, a wise math teacher told me students are only problem-solving if the problem they are solving is one for which they do not already know the route to the answer and if students are interested in solving the problem. Without these conditions, it isn’t problem-solving for that student because either it is just practice or it is unimportant. Students are most engaged when they find math interesting. Real-world problems are no guarantee of interest or perceived relevance to students. However, real-world problems with a kick, unreal-world problems, and math challenges are usually interesting and engage students in solving non-routine problems. Interest generated by these problems makes the math relevant to the student at that moment and that relevance leads to greater learning.

A spokesperson for CORE, Dean Ballard, says “Of course CORE never sets out to intentionally upset anybody. The aim of our article is first and foremost to inform our readers of what has been found most motivating and engaging to students in order to promote and increase student learning. It is critical, however, that we stay dedicated to our true voice.

Although our “Students Want Interesting Math Over Real World Math” might unsettle those who focus solely on root practice or hold the belief that all math has to have “real world” application, our duty is to our readers. We believe it’s more important to keep our readers informed and provide facts that are going to help students learn more, than to please everyone. Which is notoriously difficult to do.”

Although there has been no backlash as of yet, the possibility exists as the article shows that root practice and “real world” problems are not always the most interesting or engaging to students and therefore may not promote the most student learning in the classroom.

CORE has been a provider of in depth articles in the Education market for five years.

CORE has stated the future aims for the website are to continue their work with Pre-K through 12th grade teachers and administrators to implement research-based reading, writing, language, and mathematics instruction.. So CORE hopes any controversy will pass quickly and re-emphasizes no offense is or was intended.
