Adjusted net income for the three months ended September 30, 2016, was $35.3 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, compared to $33.9 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior year.

New Business Awards and Backlog

Backlog grew by 12.3% to $2.0 billion as of September 30, 2016, as compared to $1.8 billion as of September 30, 2015. Net new business awards were $330.1 million, representing a book-to-bill ratio of 1.3x, for the three months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to $327.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. Net new business awards were $934.5 million, representing a book-to-bill ratio of 1.2x, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to $879.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Net new business awards were higher in the first nine months of 2016 compared to the first nine months of 2015 primarily due to the continued growth of the Company's CNS therapeutic area. 

Business Outlook

The Company is updating its 2016 full-year guidance as outlined in the following table.  The guidance takes into account a number of factors, including our current sales pipeline, existing backlog and our expectations for net awards for the remainder of 2016. Further, our guidance is based on current foreign currency exchange rates, current interest rates, our expected tax rates, and does not take into account the effects of future stock repurchases.

Forward-Looking Statements

Except for historical information, all of the statements, expectations, and assumptions contained in this press release, including our updated 2016 guidance, are forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results might differ materially from those explicit or implicit in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to: our ability to adequately price our contracts and not overrun cost estimates; general and international economic, political and other risks, including currency and stock market fluctuations and the uncertain economic environment in Europe as a result of the recent vote by the United Kingdom to exit from the European Union; fluctuations in our financial results; our ability to maintain or generate new business awards; our backlog not being indicative of future revenues and our ability to realize the anticipated future revenue reflected in our backlog; reliance on key personnel; our Board and corporate governance transition as a relatively new public company that has recently lost “controlled company” status; our customer or therapeutic area concentration; our ability to increase our market share, grow our business and execute our growth strategies; and the other risk factors set forth in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 and other SEC filings, copies of which are available free of charge on our website at investor.incresearch.com. INC Research assumes no obligation and does not intend to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, this press release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted Income from Operations, Adjusted Operating Margin, Adjusted Net Income (including Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.  A “non-GAAP financial measure” is generally defined as a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statements of operations, balance sheets or statements of cash flows of the Company.

The Company defines Adjusted Income from Operations as income from operations excluding expenses and transactions that the Company believes are not representative of its core operations, namely, acquisition-related amortization, restructuring, CEO transition and other costs, transaction expenses, asset impairment charges, share-based compensation expense, and contingent consideration related to acquisitions and other.  The Company defines Adjusted Operating Margin as adjusted income from operations as a percentage of net service revenue.

The Company defines Adjusted Net Income (including Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share) as net income (including diluted earnings per share) excluding the items excluded from adjusted income from operations mentioned previously, other expense (income), and loss on extinguishment of debt. After giving effect to these items and other unusual tax impacts during the period, the Company has also included an adjustment to its income tax rate to reflect the expected long-term income tax rate.

EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.  The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding certain expenses and transactions that the Company believes are not representative of its core operations, namely, restructuring, CEO transition and other costs, transaction expenses, asset impairment charges, share-based compensation expense, contingent consideration related to acquisitions and other, other expense (income), and loss on extinguishment of debt.  The Company presents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because it believes they are useful metrics for investors as they are commonly used by investors, analysts and debt holders to measure the Company's financial performance and its ability to service its debt obligations, fund capital expenditures and meet working capital requirements.

Each of the non-GAAP measures noted above are used by management and the Board to evaluate the Company's core operating results as they exclude items whose fluctuations from period-to-period do not necessarily correspond to changes in the core operations of the business. Adjusted Income from Operations, Adjusted Operating Margin, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (including Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share) are used by management and the Board to assess the Company's business. The Company believes these measures are used by investors, analysts and debt holders to measure the Company's performance.

Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP.  Also, other companies might calculate these measures differently. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures included in this press release and the accompanying tables.

(b) Restructuring, CEO transition and other costs consist of: (i) severance costs associated with a reduction of workforce in line with the Company's expectations of future business operations, (ii) transition costs associated with the transition to the Company's new Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), (iii) legal and consulting costs incurred for the continued consolidation of legal entities and restructuring of the Company's contract financial process to meet the requirements of upcoming accounting regulation changes, and (iv) lease obligation and termination costs in connection with abandonment and closure of redundant facilities.
   
(c) Represents fees associated with stock repurchases, debt placement and refinancings and other corporate transactions.
   
(d) Represents impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets associated with the Company's Phase I Services reporting unit.
   
(e) Represents share-based compensation expense related to awards granted under equity incentive plans.
   
(f) Represents contingent consideration expense incurred as a result of acquisitions and other expenses accounted for as compensation expense under GAAP.
   
(g) Represents other (income) expense comprised primarily of foreign exchange gains and losses.
   
(h) Represents loss on extinguishment of debt associated with the 2015 debt refinancing and 2016 debt amendment.
   
(i) Adjustment for the income tax effect of the non-GAAP adjustments made to arrive at adjusted net income using the estimated effective tax rate of 34% in 2016 and 36% in 2015.  In 2015, the Company's effective tax rate has been adjusted in order to reflect the removal of the tax impact of its valuation allowances recorded against its deferred tax assets and changes in the assertion to indefinitely reinvest the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries.  Historically, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against some of its deferred tax assets, but believes that these valuation allowances cause significant fluctuations in its financial results that are not indicative of the Company's underlying financial performance.  Specifically, the majority of the Company's revenue was generated in jurisdictions in which it recognized no tax expense or benefit due to changes in this valuation allowance.

(a) Amounts are estimates with an estimated range of +/- 5% and are presented gross without the benefit of income tax reduction.
   
(b) Income tax effect of share-based compensation is calculated using the statutory rates applicable to the tax jurisdictions of the applicable deduction, plus the amount of discrete tax adjustments related to excess tax benefits on share-based payments as a result of share-based payments activity.
   
(c) Income tax expense is calculated and the adjustments are tax-affected at an approximate rate of 34%, which is the midpoint of our range for the expected income tax rate of 33% to 35%, less the Income tax effect of share-based compensation. This adjustment also reverses the impact of unusual tax items during the period.
