Clients and prospects tell us they appreciate having a new choice in the market, whether for a fully integrated solution that connects ambulatory practices to hospitals or for a best-of-breed approach that allows our clients to build on what they have. Our goal is to create a new operating model for healthcare—a connected community of health—and our merger moves our clients and their patients one step closer to that goal."
Third Quarter Results
Allscripts completed its merger with Eclipsys Corporation on August 24, 2010 and, in connection with the merger, the Allscripts Board of Directors approved changing the company's fiscal year-end from May 31 to December 31. The Company's 2010 third quarter financials include Allscripts operations for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and Eclipsys operations for the period from August 24, 2010 through September 30, 2010. References to non-GAAP results include both Allscripts and Eclipsys operations for the entire three-month period ended September 30, 2010. The comparable quarter from the prior year includes the non-GAAP results of Allscripts for the three months ended August 31, 2009 and Eclipsys for the three months ended September 30, 2009 (third quarter 2009).
GAAP revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $242.4 million. Total non-GAAP revenue(1) for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $329.1 million, compared to total non-GAAP revenue of $293.6 million for the third quarter 2009, a 12 percent increase.

In connection with the repurchase of approximately 24.4 million of its shares in August 2010, Allscripts entered into a credit agreement for a $470 million senior secured term loan facility and a $250 million senior secured revolving facility, collectively referred to as the "Senior Secured Credit Facilities." Allscripts borrowed a total of $570 million under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities in August 2010 to finance the share repurchase. In September 2010, Allscripts repaid approximately $40 million of the initial amounts borrowed. As of September 30, 2010, the company had $530 million of borrowings outstanding and cash and marketable securities of approximately $120 million.
Financial Commentary
"Our third quarter results were strong, and we successfully closed the Eclipsys merger and related transactions approximately two months sooner than we originally predicted," said Bill Davis, Chief Financial Officer of Allscripts. "I am especially pleased that Allscripts and Eclipsys, on a stand-alone basis, both achieved their respective financial objectives for the quarter. This speaks to the dedication of our collective organization to remain focused on our commitments to our clients and other stakeholders. The strength and long-term stability of our business also was evident in our ability to repay $40 million of our outstanding debt in the quarter, less than 60 days after the initial loan."
Mr. Davis added, "Our integration plans are on track and we remain confident in our ability to achieve Allscripts cost synergy goals as previously outlined."
