Fourth Quarter 2014 Results
For the three months ended December 31, 2014, net service revenue increased by 22.6% to $213.7 million, compared to $174.4 million in the three months ended December 31, 2013. Net service revenue growth resulted primarily from the increase in new business awards in the past 18 months and a lower cancellation rate during 2014. Net service revenue during the three months ended December 31, 2014 was negatively impacted by $4.7 million due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates compared to the same period in the prior year.
Income from operations for the three months ended December 31, 2014 increased 63.6% to $18.5 million, compared to $11.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013. Operating margin was 8.6% in the three months ended December 31, 2014 compared to 6.5% in the same period in the prior year. The Company's income from operations includes certain expenses and transactions that the Company believes are not representative of its core operations. Excluding these items, adjusted income from operations was $35.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014, compared to $24.6 million for the same period in the prior year, representing growth of 43.7%. Adjusted operating margin for the three months ended December 31, 2014 was 16.5% compared to 14.1% for the same period in the prior year.
The Company reported a net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2014 of $49.8 million, resulting in a loss of $(0.92) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $13.0 million, resulting in a loss of $(0.25) per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2013. Adjusted net income for the three months ended December 31, 2014 was $15.2 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared to $5.3 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior year.

Full-Year 2014 Results
For the full year ended December 31, 2014, net service revenue was $809.7 million. Adjusted net service revenue increased by 22.7% to $800.7 million for 2014 compared to $652.4 million for 2013. Adjusted net service revenue for 2014 excludes an estimated $9.0 million in net service revenue from higher-than-normal contract change order activity in the second and third quarters of 2014 that the Company believes is not representative of ongoing operations. Net service revenue for 2014 was negatively impacted by $2.2 million due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates compared to the prior year. Net service revenue growth resulted primarily from an increase in new business awards in the past 18 months and a lower cancellation rate during 2014. The growth in our revenue in 2014 was particularly strong in the CNS, Oncology and other complex therapeutic areas and with a strategic Functional Service Provider, or FSP, customer.
Income from operations for 2014 increased 102.3% to $63.6 million, compared to $31.5 million for 2013. Operating margin was 7.9% compared to 4.8% for the same period in the prior year. Adjusted income from operations was $123.7 million for 2014, compared to $86.3 million for the same period in the prior year, representing growth of 43.2%. Adjusted operating margin for 2014 was 15.4% compared to 13.2% for the same period in the prior year.

As of December 31, 2014, backlog was $1.6 billion, an increase of 6.6% from backlog of $1.5 billion at December 31, 2013.

Net new business awards increased 10.9% to $316.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 16.7% to $949.8 million for the full year 2014.

Initial Public Offering and 2014 Credit Agreement
On November 13, 2014, the Company closed its initial public offering of stock.

Forward-Looking Statements
Except for historical information, all of the statements, expectations, and assumptions contained in this press release 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: potential volatility of our stock price; 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; our ability to adequately price our contracts and not overrun cost estimates; our customer or therapeutic area concentration; international economic, political and other risks; our ability to increase our market share, grow our business and execute our growth strategies; and the other risk factors set forth from time to time in our Form S-1 and other SEC filings, copies of which are available free of charge on our website at www.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 certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted Net Service Revenue, Adjusted Income from Operations, Adjusted Operating Margin, Adjusted Net Income (including adjusted diluted net income 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 income, balance sheets or statements of cash flow of the Company.
We define Adjusted Net Service Revenue as net service revenue excluding the impact of higher-than-normal change order activity that occurred during 2014. We define Adjusted Income from Operations as income from operations excluding the higher-than-normal change order activity and certain expenses such as management fees that terminated in connection with our initial public offering, acquisition-related amortization, restructuring costs, transaction expenses, non-cash stock compensation expense, contingent consideration related to acquisitions, impairment charges related to goodwill and intangible assets. We define Adjusted Operating Margin as adjusted income from operations as a percent of adjusted net service revenue.
We define Adjusted Net Income (including adjusted diluted net income per share) as net income (including diluted net income per share) excluding amortization, other income (expense) and the items excluded from adjusted income from operations mentioned previously. After giving effect to these items, we have also included an adjustment to our 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 higher-than-normal change order activity and certain expenses such as management fees that terminated in connection with our initial public offering, restructuring costs, transaction expenses, non-cash stock compensation expense, contingent consideration related to acquisitions, impairment charges related to goodwill and intangible assets, debt refinancing expenses, results of and gains or losses from the sale of unconsolidated subsidiaries and other income/expense.
The Company presents EBITDA because it believes it is a useful metric for investors as it is commonly used by investors, analysts and debt holders to measure our ability to service our 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 our core operating results as they exclude certain items whose fluctuations from period-to-period do not necessarily correspond to changes in the core operations of the business. Adjusted Net Service Revenue, Adjusted Income from Operations, Adjusted Operating Margin, and Adjusted Net Income (including Adjusted Diluted Net Income per Share) are used by management and the Board to assess our business, as well as by investors and analysts, to measure our performance. Adjusted EBITDA is also a useful metric for management and investors to measure our ability to service our debt obligations.
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. 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.

| (a) During the second and third quarters of 2014, we experienced higher-than-normal change order activity estimated to be between $6 million and $12 million. Net service revenue for full year 2014 has been adjusted by $9 million to remove the impact of this higher-than-normal change order activity. | ||||||||
| (b) Represents fees associated with initial public offering, debt placement and refinancing, and costs incurred in connection with business combinations and potential acquisitions. | ||||||||
| (c) Consists of contingent consideration expense incurred as a result of acquisitions and accounted for as compensation expense under GAAP. | ||||||||
| (d) Represents monitoring and advisory fees paid to affiliates of Avista Capital Partners, L.P. in the periods prior to the initial public offering in November 2014, as well as reimbursements of expenses paid to affiliates of Avista Capital Partners, L.P. and affiliates of Teachers' Private Capital pursuant to the Expense Reimbursement Agreement. These arrangements were terminated upon completion of our initial public offering. | ||||||||
| (e) Our effective tax rate has been adjusted to a 37% overall effective rate, in order to reflect the removal of the tax impact of our valuation allowances recorded against our deferred tax assets and changes in the assertion to indefinitely reinvest the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. Historically, we recorded a valuation allowance against some of our deferred tax assets, but we believe that these valuation allowances cause significant fluctuations in our financial results that are not indicative of our underlying financial performance. Specifically, the majority of our revenue in 2013 was generated in jurisdictions in which we recognized no tax expense or benefit due to changes in this valuation allowance. Further, we have historically recorded a valuation allowance against certain foreign tax losses, however, in 2014 we recorded net valuation allowance adjustments across multiple jurisdictions, creating a net tax expense of $4.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 and a net tax benefit of $18.2 million for the full year 2014, which we also do not believe is indicative of our ongoing operations. | ||||||||
| (f) 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 37%. | ||||||||
| (g) Adjustment represents the GAAP effect of additional shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares from stock options, calculated using the treasury method, had been issued. | ||||||||
