With the ASTRA OODA acquisition, DHS can enhance its value proposition by working directly with insurers instead of only working with healthcare providers. ASTRA OODA enables patients to get one billing statement from their insurers that incorporates deductibles and other payments options. It also provides the flexibility of payment plans, reducing customers\u2019 risk of having to pay a giant bill in one go, or ending up in collections.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-44598 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/evertise.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/24e-300x251.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"251\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>The ASTRA OODA acquisition positions DHS as an end-to-end solution for consumers\u2019 financial healthcare needs, and it should now further build out its healthcare network.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Solutions like DHS\u2019 can help consumers better manage their healthcare expenses.<\/strong> Eighty-four percent of US adults are worried about paying their medical bills in the next year, and 1 in 10 consumers simply won\u2019t pay their bill if they don\u2019t understand the administrative process, per a DHS study.

Non-GAAP measures should not be construed as alternatives to GAAP measures. Free cash flow, earnings from continuing operations before special items, operating profit before special items, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, and comparable results are common supplemental measures of performance used by investors and financial analysts.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-44600 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/evertise.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/17-V3-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>Management believes that free cash flow, earnings from continuing operations before special items, operating profit before special items, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, and comparable results provide additional analytical tools. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. This metric has been included as a measure of the Company\u2019s liquidity and ability to fund its operations. Earnings from continuing operations before special items and operating profit before special items remove the impact of special items on earnings from continuing operations and operating profit. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings from continuing operations before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and special items. These special items have been removed as they have been deemed to be non-operational in nature. Comparable results remove the impact of portfolio changes in our magazine business to facilitate year-over-year comparisons. Management does not use adjusted EBITDA as a measure of liquidity or funds available for management\u2019s discretionary use because it excludes certain contractual and nondiscretionary expenditures.<\/p>\n<p>Results before special items are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures. While these adjusted results are not a substitute for reported results under GAAP, management believes this information is useful as an aid to further understand Meredith\u2019s current performance, performance trends, and financial condition.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This release contains certain forward-looking statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that are subject to risks and uncertainties.
