- EPS Growth of 11.1%
- 7.2% Increase in Net Sales
- 4.6% Growth in Patient Care Same-Center Sales
AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Hanger, Inc. (NYSE: HGR) announced net sales of $251.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $17.0 million, or 7.2%, from $234.8 million for the second quarter of 2011. Diluted earnings per share increased 11.1% to $0.50 for the second quarter of 2012 compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.45 in the same period in 2011.
The increase in net sales of $17.0 million, or 7.2%, for the second quarter of 2012 was the result of an $8.8 million, or 4.6%, increase in same-center sales in the patient-care services segment; a $5.9 million increase from acquired entities; a $1.8 million, or 7.2%, increase in sales in the distribution segment; and a $0.3 million increase from the therapeutic solutions segment. The increase in revenues, together with continued expense control, resulted in an 8.6%, or $2.8 million, increase in income from operations to $35.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to income from operations of $32.9 million for the same period in 2011.
Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2012 increased $34.6 million, or 8.0%, to $469.8 million from $435.2 million in 2011. The sales increase was driven by a $20.1 million, or 5.7%, increase in same-center sales in the patient-care services segment; a $10.5 million increase from acquired entities; a $4.6 million, or 9.4%, increase in sales in the distribution segment; and a $0.6 million decrease from the therapeutic solutions segment. The increase in sales resulted in a 14.3%, or $0.09 per diluted share, increase in diluted earnings per share to $0.72 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $0.63 in the same period in 2011.
The Company's cash flow from operations increased $16.4 million to $27.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $10.6 million in 2011. Through July 2012, the Company acquired seven patient care companies comprised of thirteen clinics with annualized revenue of $12.8 million. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had $141.1 million in total liquidity, which included $41.6 million of cash and $99.5 million available under its revolving credit facility, net of $0.5 million in letters of credit. The Company's leverage ratio, as defined in its credit facilities, improved to 2.9 at June 30, 2012 from 3.0 at December 31, 2011.
"We continue to deliver strong revenue growth in our patient-care services and our distribution segments. This, combined with solid operational execution demonstrated by our talented employees around the country, has resulted in 11.1% growth in diluted earnings per share," commented Vinit K. Asar, Chief Executive Officer of Hanger. "Our operations continue to generate good cash flow as we execute our planned investments in programs, acquisitions, and infrastructure improvements that will continue to provide a sustainable platform for future growth."
The Company expects full year 2012 revenues between $970 million and $990 million resulting from a comparable store sales growth in our patient-care services segment of 3% to 5% and growth in our distribution segment of 3% to 5%. We expect flat to slightly higher revenues in our therapeutic services segment for the year, with sales in the first half of the year down then trending up the second half as the rate of new contract sales accelerates. The Company has raised the lower end of its earnings guidance range and now anticipates diluted earnings per share between $1.75 and $1.79, excluding approximately $0.01 per diluted share in one-time training costs related to the implementation of Janus, the Company's new practice management and billing system. As in past years, the Company's goal is to increase operating margins by twenty to forty basis points. The Company anticipates generating cash flow from operations between $70 million and $80 million in 2012 and investing a total of $40 million to $50 million in capital additions. The Company will continue its acquisition program with a goal of closing acquisitions that total approximately $20 million in annualized revenues.

Management relies on the non-GAAP items as the primary measures to review and assess operating performance and management teams. The Company believes it is useful to investors to provide disclosures of its operating results on the same basis as that used by management. Management and investors also review the non-GAAP items to evaluate the Company's overall performance and to compare its current operating results with corresponding periods and with other companies in the health care industry. You should not consider the non-GAAP items in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating cash flows or other cash flow statement data determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Because the non-GAAP items are not measures of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and are susceptible to varying calculations, they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted net income, Adjusted income from operations, and Adjusted net income per diluted share are the non-GAAP financial measures.
