Management Discussion

Eric K. Steen, chief executive officer of InfuSystem, said, "In the face of sweeping changes by the federal government to the Medicare patient ambulatory pump reimbursement process during the second quarter, which has been described in detail in our SEC filings, our team achieved double-digit growth with a 10% increase in our net rental revenues driven by a 24% increase in our direct rental business. During the first half of the year we added 116 new customers and we deployed a record of approximately 2,500 infusion pumps into the oncology market; setting the stage for strong revenue growth in the second half of 2016. I am pleased with the dedication, hard work and focus of all our employees to quickly adapt and work with our customers to navigate through the new CMS reimbursement changes."

Mr. Steen continued, "We continued to expand the rollout of our new EXPRESS system, as we now have approximately 1,375 medical facilities converted to our new connectivity system. InfuSystem EXPRESS delivers significant operating efficiencies to our customers by eliminating duplicate data entry and errors associated with human input.  Also, we are directly integrated to the electronic medical record system with 114 facilities utilizing our InfuBus™ integration engine."

Mr. Steen concluded, "It is important to note that upon placement of an infusion pump with new large hospital customers, it can take up to 6 months before we start to recognize revenue from that pump. Given the record number of pumps that have been deployed in the first half of the year and the number of new customers added to our base, we expect that our gross margins will be positively impacted as deployments slow from recent record levels and we recognize the additional revenue. Our goal is to continue to build off this positive momentum, deliver meaningful IT solutions, diversify our revenue stream and finish the year with solid top- and bottom-line growth."

Second Quarter Results

Net Revenues in the second quarter of 2016 were $19.1 million, an increase of $1.9 million, or 11%, from $17.2 million in the second quarter of 2015. Net Rental revenues increased 10% to $17.2 million; net revenues from product sales, mainly disposables, increased 21% to $1.9 million from the second quarter of 2015. The increase in net revenues can be attributed to greater rental volume with new and existing sites of therapy, partially offset by a higher mix of Medicaid and patient payors in our rental business, which generally have lower collection rates than commercial payors. 

The Company is focused on net rental revenues less bad debt ("Net Collected Rental Revenues") versus prior year. Net Collected Rental Revenues increased 11% to $16.1 million versus $14.5 million in the comparable quarter of 2015. Bad debt as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 6% compared to 7% for the same prior year period.  

Net income in the second quarter was $0.7 million, equal to $0.03 per diluted share, compared to net income of $0.8 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the same prior year period.  Adjusted net income, adding back interest expense and other income and expenses was $0.8 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to $1.1 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the same prior year period.

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $12.1 million, an increase of $0.2 million, or 2%, from $11.9 million in the second quarter of 2015. It represented 63% of net revenues in the second quarter compared to 69% in the prior year period. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net revenues for the period is mainly due to the increase in cost of revenues – product and supply costs, including $0.5 million for additional depreciation on newly purchased pumps.

During the three months ended June 30, 2016, general and administrative ("G&A") expenses were $6.4 million, an increase of $0.4 million, or 7%, compared to $6.0 million for the same prior year period. The increase in G&A expenses versus the same prior year period was mainly attributable to increases in spending on IT of $0.9 million, offset by decreases in stock compensation expense and professional fees of $0.5 million. 

Selling and marketing expenses for the 2016 second quarter were $2.3 million, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 14%, compared to $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2015. Other expenses for the second quarter of 2016 were $0.3 million compared to $0.4 million for the same prior year period. This is a direct result of the lower interest rates associated with the Company's new credit facility.

Adjusted EBITDA was $4.3 million, an increase of 10% for the second quarter of 2016 compared to $3.9 million for the same period in 2015. The Company utilizes Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA as a means to measure its operating performance.  A reconciliation from GAAP operating measures to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA, both non-GAAP measures, can be found in the appendix.  Adjustments during the quarter were for severance related to our sales force management restructure and for costs associated in identifying and investigating strategic alternatives.

Financial Condition

Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $1.9 million compared to $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. This decrease is mainly due to increases in accounts receivable and decreases in other current liabilities.

Cash used in investing activities was $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to cash used of $11.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease in cash used was due primarily to the $3.8 million payment for the Ciscura acquisition made during the six months ended June 30, 2015. The Company has spent approximately $2.5 million on IT capital projects for the year. There was also a decrease in spending on non-pump assets of $0.1 million and a $0.9 million increase in cash used to purchase medical equipment.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company maintained cash and cash equivalents of $0.8 million and $3.3 million of net availability under the Revolver compared to $0.8 million and $9.9 million, respectively, at December 31, 2015.

Guidance

The Company maintains, for 2016, guidance of high single digit net collected revenue growth.
