ATLANTA, May 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Gentiva Health Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: GTIV), the largest provider of home health and hospice services in the United States based on revenue, today reported first quarter 2013 results. 

First quarter 2013 financial highlights include: 

  • Total net revenues of $415.6 million, a decrease of 5% compared to $435.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.  During the quarter, total net revenues were negatively impacted by the 2013 home health Medicare rate reduction, the initial effects of sequestration and the sale or closure of branches in the prior year.  Excluding the impact of branches sold or closed, total net revenues would have been down 3% compared to the first quarter of 2012.  Net revenues included home health episodic revenues of $207.4 million, a decline of 2% compared to $210.6 million in the 2012 first quarter.  Hospice revenues were $179.5 million, a decrease of 8% compared to $195.7 million in the 2012 first quarter.  Hospice represented 43% of total net revenues in the first quarter of 2013, compared to 45% in the 2012 first quarter.
  • Net loss attributable to Gentiva shareholders of $207.2 million, or $6.73 per diluted share, compared to Net income attributable to Gentiva shareholders of $4.8 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2012.  During the first quarter of 2013, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $224.3 million based on an interim impairment test of the Company's goodwill and other long-lived assets that was performed during the quarter.  
  • Adjusted income attributable to Gentiva shareholders of $7.1 million, compared with $7.4 million in the comparable 2012 period. On a diluted per share basis, adjusted income attributable to Gentiva shareholders was $0.23 for the first quarter of 2013 as compared to $0.24 for the first quarter of 2012, prior to the $0.03 add-back in the first quarter of 2012 for credit agreement amendment expenses.  First quarter 2013 Adjusted income attributable to Gentiva shareholders was negatively impacted by the typical seasonality associated with higher federal and state unemployment taxes in the first quarter of the year and one less day associated with the leap year in 2012.
  • Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) was $39.1 million in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to $41.9 million in the first quarter of 2012.  Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net revenues was 9.4% in the first quarter of 2013 versus 9.6% in the prior year period. Excluding the credit agreement amendment expenses discussed above, Adjusted EBITDA would have been $43.1 million in the first quarter of 2012. 

"I am pleased with our overall results this quarter, which met our expectations despite a continued challenging reimbursement and regulatory environment," said Gentiva CEO Tony Strange.

Adjusted income attributable to Gentiva shareholders and Adjusted EBITDA exclude charges related to restructuring, legal settlements, acquisition and integration activities and other special items.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet Highlights

At March 31, 2013, the Company reported cash and cash equivalents of $159.6 million, compared to $207.1 million at December 31, 2012.  Total outstanding debt was $910.2 million as of March 31, 2013, compared to $935.2 million at December 31, 2012.  Total Company days sales outstanding, or DSO's, was 52 days at March 31, 2013 compared to 51 days at December 31, 2012.

For the first quarter of 2013, net cash provided by operating activities was a negative $20.6 million, compared to a negative $34.7 million in the prior year period.  Free cash flow was a negative $23.3 million for the first quarter of 2013, compared to negative $38.5 million in the prior year period.  As expected, cash flow for the first quarter of 2013 was impacted by the timing of interest payments on the Company's senior notes and compensation related expenses.  Free cash flow is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures.

Full-Year 2013 Outlook

Gentiva reaffirmed its full year 2013 outlook.  Net revenues are expected to be in the range of $1.69 billion to $1.73 billion, including a $21.0 million year-over-year negative impact from branches closed or sold in the prior year.  Adjusted income attributable to Gentiva shareholders is expected to be in the range of $0.90 to $1.10 on a diluted per share basis, based on an estimated 31.0 million shares outstanding.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The information provided in this press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules.  In accordance with SEC rules, the Company has provided, in the supplemental information and the footnotes to the tables, a reconciliation of those historical measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

A reconciliation of Adjusted income attributable to Gentiva shareholders to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is not accessible on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the inherent difficulties in predicting the costs of restructuring, legal settlements and merger and acquisition activities and the impact of any future acquisitions or divestitures, which can fluctuate significantly and may have a significant impact on net income.

Notes:

1. The comparability between reporting periods has been affected by the following items:

a. The Company closed a significant number of branch operations and sold a number of operating units affecting the reporting periods presented as follows:

  • During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company sold its Phoenix area hospice operations.  
  • During the second quarter of 2012, the Company sold eight home health branches and four hospice branches in Louisiana.
  • During the first quarter of 2012, the Company continued a comprehensive review of its branch structure, support infrastructure and other significant expenditures in order to reduce its ongoing operating costs given the challenging rate environment facing the Company. As a result of this effort, the Company closed or divested 4 home health branches and completed significant reductions in staffing levels in regional, area and corporate support functions.

As a result of this activity, the Company's revenue for the first quarter of 2013 was negatively impacted by approximately $9.0 million as compared to the first quarter of 2012.

b. The first quarter of 2013 included 90 days of activity as compared to 91 days for the year 2012 due to 28 days in February 2013 versus 29 days in February 2012.   

2. The Company's senior management evaluates performance and allocates resources based on operating contributions of the operating segments, which exclude corporate expenses, depreciation, amortization, and interest expense and other (net), but include revenues and all other costs directly attributable to the specific segment. 

3. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as income before interest expense and other (net of interest income), income taxes, depreciation and amortization and excluding charges relating to (i) cost savings and other restructuring, legal settlements, and acquisition and integration activities and (ii) goodwill and other long-lived asset impairment.  Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate overall performance and compare current operating results with other companies in the healthcare industry. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for income from continuing operations, net income, operating income or cash flow statement data determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  Because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and is susceptible to varying calculations, it may not be comparable to similarly titled measures in other companies.

Adjusted income attributable to Gentiva shareholders is defined as income attributable to Gentiva shareholders, excluding (i) tax reserves relating to the OIG settlement, (ii) charges relating to cost savings and other restructuring, legal settlements, and acquisition and integration activities and (iii) goodwill and other long-lived asset impairment. 

4. Operating contribution and EBITDA included charges relating to cost savings and other restructuring, legal settlements and acquisition and integration activities of $0.1 million for the first quarter 2013 as compared to $5.4 million for the corresponding period of 2012.

For the first quarter 2013, the Company recorded acquisition and integration activities of $0.1 million associated with the Company's acquisitions of North Mississippi Hospice and Family Home Care, Inc. in 2012.

For the first quarter 2012, the Company recorded (i) restructuring costs of $0.8 million and (ii) legal settlement reserves of $5.0 million, associated with the tentative settlement of the Wilkie wage and hour lawsuit, partially offset by a reduction in acquisition and integration costs of $0.4 million, primarily relating to favorable lease settlements associated with Odyssey HealthCare, Inc.

These charges were reflected as follows for segment reporting purposes (dollars in millions):

5. During the first quarter of 2013, the Company recorded non-cash charges of $224.3 million related to goodwill and other long-lived assets.

At March 31, 2013, the Company performed an interim impairment test of its Hospice reporting unit due to declining patient admit growth during the latter part of the first quarter of 2013 and continuing into early part of the second quarter. The decline in patient admits resulted in lower than expected average daily census which was further impacted by higher than anticipated death and discharge rates during the quarter. The death and discharge rates experienced during the quarter exceeded historical trends the Company has experienced and impacted patient census growth rate projections. Based on the results of the interim impairment test, the Company's Hospice reporting unit had an estimated fair value of approximately $555 million.  As such the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge relating to goodwill of approximately $220.8 million.  As part of that analysis, the Company reviewed the valuation of its owned real estate utilized in the Hospice business. The analysis indicated that two of the Company's hospice inpatient units had estimated fair values lower than their carrying values and, as such, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $1.9 million.

In addition, the Company conducted an evaluation of the various systems used to support its field operations. In connection with that review, the Company made a strategic decision to replace its business intelligence software platform and, as such, recorded a non-cash impairment charge, related to developed software, of approximately $1.6 million.

6. Interest expense and other, net for the year 2012 included charges of approximately $0.5 million relating to the write-off of deferred debt issuance costs associated with Amendment No. 3 to the Company's credit agreement.

7. The Company's effective tax rate was a tax benefit of 2.5% for the first quarter 2013 as compared to a tax provision of 33.4% for the first quarter 2012.

During the first quarter of 2013, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $224.3 million related to goodwill and other long-lived assets (see note 5).  Excluding the impact of the impairment charges, the Company's effective tax rate would have been 39.9% for the first quarter of 2013.

During the first quarter of 2012, the Company recorded a favorable tax reserve adjustment upon resolution of an uncertain tax position associated with the deductibility of a portion of the Company's settlement payment to the Office of the Inspector General.  Excluding the impact of the favorable tax reserve adjustment, the Company's effective tax rate would have been 41.7% for the first quarter of 2012.
