Management Discussion

Eric K. Steen, chief executive officer of InfuSystem, said, "The financial results of the third quarter of 2016 were impacted by many factors, several which were one-time events.  Our world changed quickly when in April 2016, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS") instituted industry wide changes to the reimbursement process for Medicare patients utilizing at-home ambulatory pumps for oncology treatments. We responded quickly and took 1,800 infusion clinics to a direct bill to the provider business model, all while rolling out a new IT system and continuing to run two Medicare processes, as we continued to bill for treatments prior to July 1, 2016. We took the opportunity to put a number of things behind us as a result of changes in the market and in our internal processes. We had one-time non-recurring costs of approximately $1 million in the quarter. Additionally, as we closed the third quarter, we noticed a formula error related to our revenue recognition estimation model, which was announced on November 7, 2016. As a result, with the assistance of independent outside professionals, we restated our financial results for 2015 and the first and second quarters of 2016. We are confident that we have taken the necessary steps to correct and implement the appropriate internal controls to strengthen our financial reporting."

"Third quarter net revenues decreased 6% and net rental revenues decreased 11%, despite an 11% increase in our direct rental business. We experienced a decrease in revenue resulting from moving our Medicare patients from an insurance billing to a direct to clinic provider billing in the third quarter due the CMS change. Additionally, our team was focused on educating our 1,800 infusion clinic healthcare providers of the CMS change, as we transition them to a new direct billing model for their Medicare patients. Despite these challenges during the quarter, we added 71 new payor network contracts, deployed approximately 450 infusion pumps into the oncology market and we now have a modernized fleet of more than 60,000 pumps. The rollout of our new EXPRESS system, that eliminates duplicate data entry, continues to gain traction as we now have approximately 1,495 medical facilities converted to our new connectivity system."

Mr. Steen concluded, "Looking forward, we are highly focused on strengthening our balance sheet and generating cash. Our goals include driving operational efficiencies and reducing capital expenditures to consistently reduce debt."

Third Quarter Results

Net Revenues in the third quarter of 2016 were $17.2 million, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 6%, from $18.3 million in the third quarter of 2015. Net Rental revenues decreased 11% to $14.6 million; net revenues from product sales, mainly disposables, increased 40% to $2.6 million from the third quarter of 2015. The decrease in net revenues can be attributed to a transition to an alternative billing arrangement due to the Medicare billing change that resulted in a decrease in pricing offsetting some new revenue from growth.

The Company is focused on net rental revenues less bad debt ("Net Collected Rental Revenues") versus prior year. Net Collected Rental Revenues decreased 10% to $13.5 million versus $15.0 million in the comparable quarter of 2015. Bad debt as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 6% compared to 8% for the same prior year period.  

Net income in the third quarter was $56,000, equal to $0.00 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.1 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the same prior year period.  Adjusted net income, adding back interest expense and other income and expenses was $0.1 million, or $0.00 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 September 30, 2016 was $10.4 million, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 19%, from $12.9 million in the third quarter of 2015. It represented 60.3% of net revenues in the third quarter compared to 70.3% in the prior year period. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net revenues for the period is mainly due to the decrease in rental revenues for the Medicare billing change, in addition to increase cost of revenues – product and supply costs, including $1 million for additional depreciation on newly purchased pumps.

During the three months ended September 30, 2016, general and administrative ("G&A") expenses were $5.3 million, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 7%, compared to $5.7 million for the same prior year period. The decrease in G&A expenses versus the same prior year period was mainly attributable to decreases in stock compensation, salaries and benefits; offset by increases in professional fees and outside services of $0.5 million. 

Selling and marketing expenses for the 2016 third quarter were $2.5 million, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 6%, compared to $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2015. Other expenses for the third quarter of 2016 were $0.4 million compared to $0.3 million for the same prior year period. This is largely due to increased debt on the Company's revolving credit facility.

Adjusted EBITDA was $3.4 million, a decrease of 27% for the third quarter of 2016 compared to $4.7 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 nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $3.7 million compared to $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. This decrease is mainly due to non-cash items, including extinguishment of long term debt for $1.6 million. In addition, during the period, cash proceeds included decreases in accounts receivable of $2.8 million and increases in non-cash items for depreciation and amortization of $2.1 million; offset by decreases in accounts payable and other current liabilities of $2.2 million and $1.0 million less in net income during the period.

Cash used in investing activities was $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to cash used of $12.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease in cash used was due to $5.9 million of cash used for the Ciscura acquisition made during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $1.4 million related to our spend on Information Technology capital projects for the year, and a decrease of $1.0 million on purchases of medical equipment.

As of September 30, 2016, the Company maintained cash and cash equivalents of $1.1 million and $4.7 million of net availability under the Revolver compared to $0.8 million and $9.9 million, respectively, at December 31, 2015.
