KNOXVILLE, Tenn., May 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
- Net revenue increased 16.0% to $478.7 million over the prior year first quarter
- Net earnings were $14.4 million; $25.2 million, after adjustments
- Diluted net earnings per share of $0.21; Adjusted EPS of $0.37
- Adjusted EBITDA increased 5.6% to $50.7 million
- Acquisition activity remains robust with recent announcements of The Exigence Group and Bergen Anesthesia Associates/Teaneck Anesthesia Group transactions

Team Health Holdings Inc. ("TeamHealth") (NYSE: TMH), one of the largest providers of outsourced physician staffing solutions for hospitals in the United States, today announced results for its first quarter of 2012.
"We are pleased with our first quarter results, as we delivered another quarter of financial performance that reflects growth in net revenue, operating earnings and Adjusted EBITDA," said TeamHealth President and Chief Executive Officer, Greg Roth.
"Our financial performance this quarter demonstrates the consistency of our balanced and integrated approach to achieve our revenue goals. All of our growth drivers provided solid contributions to revenue growth, which include same contract, acquisitions and net new contract growth. This quarter, acquisition growth was the most significant contributor to consolidated revenue growth as we benefited from the acquisitions we completed during the second half of 2011. Net new contracts delivered positive contributions to revenue growth as we continued to see the benefits from our sales and marketing process. Finally, same contract revenue delivered growth in line with our expectations, driven by an increase in estimated collections per visit, while still reflecting a constrained volume growth environment, with a lighter flu season in 2012 compared to very strong same contract volume growth during the first quarter of 2011.
"We are pleased to have recently closed two very attractive acquisitions," continued Mr. Roth. "In addition to our recent Anesthesia acquisition in Bergen, NJ, earlier today we announced the acquisition of The Exigence Group, a healthcare management organization headquartered in Amherst, NY. The Exigence Group provides care to approximately 500,000 patients each year, while operating 12 emergency department programs, 3 hospital medicine programs, and 8 Immediate Care Centers. We are excited to add such an established, high-quality group of physicians that will significantly expand our presence in western New York and allow us to further develop the Immediate Care Center strategy they have successfully pioneered in this market. We expect both of these acquisitions to have a favorable impact on revenue for the remainder of 2012, while being immediately accretive to Adjusted EPS.
"As we look forward to the remainder of 2012, our acquisition pipeline remains robust, and we expect the current environment to yield additional opportunities for both new contract wins and same contract revenue growth. As a result of the first quarter 2012 financial results and the recently announced acquisitions, we have revised our estimates for net revenue for fiscal year 2012 to range between $1.99 billion and $2.01 billion, reflecting a growth rate of between 14.0% and 15.0%, an increase from the prior guidance of 12.0% annual growth in net revenue. We continue to project Adjusted EBITDA margin for the full year of 2012 to be around 10.5%," concluded Mr. Roth.
Lynn Massingale, M.D., Executive Chairman of TeamHealth, added, "We are extremely pleased with our progress and the execution of our growth plan during the first quarter of 2012. The quality of our recent acquisitions and net sales efforts reinforce the attractiveness of our model and demonstrate our reputation as a desirable partner to physician groups serving hospitals with the highest expectation of quality and service. Our proprietary information technology systems and infrastructure investments enable us to deliver the highest quality of patient care and allow us to drive patient safety, operational efficiency and customer satisfaction goals."
2012 First Quarter Results
Net revenue increased 16.0% to $478.7 million from $412.5 million in the first quarter of 2011. Acquisitions contributed 7.9%, new contracts, net of terminations contributed 4.6%, and same contracts contributed 3.5% of the increase in quarter-over-quarter growth in net revenue.
Same contract revenue increased 3.8% to $395.7 million from $381.1 million in the first quarter of 2011. Increases in estimated collections on fee-for-service visits of 4.2% provided a 3.1% increase in same contract revenue growth between quarters. Fee for service volume growth provided a 0.8% increase in same contract revenue growth as the number of visits increased 1.1% from the same contract volume reported in the first quarter of 2011. Contributing to the same contract volume increase was an extra calendar day during the 1st quarter of 2012. Declines in contract revenue constrained same contract revenue growth by 0.1%. Acquisitions contributed $32.4 million of revenue growth and net new contract revenue increased by $19.2 million between quarters.
Reported net earnings were $14.4 million, or $0.21 diluted net earnings per share, compared to net earnings of $20.1 million, or $0.31 diluted net earnings per share, in the first quarter of 2011. Included in the first quarter of 2012 financial results was an increase in prior year liability loss reserves of $5.2 million ($3.1 million after-tax). $4.4 million of the increase in prior year loss reserves was related to a change in the calculation of the discount rate used by the Company for calculating its professional liability reserves. During the first quarter of 2012, the Company adopted a discount factor based upon the weighted average US Treasury rates over a 10 year period which was 0.9% as of March 31, 2012. Prior to this change, the Company used the 10 year US Treasury rate as a discount factor, which was 2.2% as of March 31, 2012. The remaining $0.7 million of the prior year liability loss reserve change relates to unfavorable development on prior year loss estimates since the most recent actuarial analysis. In addition, the financial results for the first quarter of 2012 included $6.3 million ($3.8 million after-tax) of contingent purchase compensation expense associated with acquisitions that contained a contingent payment component of the total purchase price and non-cash amortization expense of $6.1 million ($3.8 million after tax). Excluding these items, net earnings for the first quarter of 2012 were $25.2 million and Adjusted EPS was $0.37 per share. Financial results for the first quarter of 2011 included $2.6 million of contingent purchase compensation expense ($1.6 million after-tax) and non-cash amortization expense of $3.6 million ($2.3 million after-tax). Excluding these items, net earnings for the first quarter of 2011 were $24.0 million and Adjusted EPS were $0.37 per share. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliations" and "Adjusted Earnings Per Share" below for the definition of Adjusted EPS and its reconciliation to net earnings and diluted earnings per share.
First quarter 2012 net earnings per share were also impacted by transaction costs of $1.2 million ($0.8 million after tax or $0.01 per share).
Cash flow provided by operations was $14.4 million compared to $20.9 million in the same quarter in 2011. Included in operating cash flows for the first quarter of 2011 were contingent purchase price payments of $6.9 million. Excluding the impact of contingent purchase price payments, the $13.4 million decrease in operating cash flow between quarters was principally the result of increased use of cash in funding working capital obligations in the first quarter of 2012 including accrued compensation and benefits and incentive plan payments.
Adjusted EBITDA increased to $50.7 million from $48.0 million in the first quarter of 2011, and Adjusted EBITDA margin was 10.6% compared to 11.6% for the same quarter in 2011. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliations" and "Adjusted EBITDA" below for the definitions of Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA and its reconciliation to net earnings.
As of March 31, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $10.2 million and $209.0 million of available borrowings under a revolving credit facility (without giving effect to $6.0 million of undrawn letters of credit). The Company's total outstanding debt was $408.5 million, including $16.0 million outstanding under its revolving credit facility. Total debt reduction in the first quarter of 2012 was $11.5 million, which reflected $2.5 million of term debt payments and a $9.0 million reduction of outstanding revolver borrowings.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliations
In this release we refer to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Adjusted EPS which are financial measures that are calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to exclude the non-cash items and the other adjustments shown in the table under "Adjusted EBITDA" below. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue. Adjusted EPS is defined as diluted earnings per share excluding non-cash and other adjustments, including the impact of contingent purchase compensation expense and amortization expense relating to purchase accounting for historical acquisitions and the other adjustments shown in the table under "Adjusted Earnings Per Share". For a reconciliation of each of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, we refer you to the tables under "Adjusted EBITDA" and "Adjusted Earnings Per Share," respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA
We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to exclude the non-cash items and the other adjustments shown in the table below. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it assists investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance or liquidity under generally accepted accounting principles. In evaluating our performance as measured by Adjusted EBITDA, management recognizes and considers the limitations of this measure. Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect certain cash expenses that we are obligated to make, and although depreciation and amortizations are non-cash charges, assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do or may not calculate it at all, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities, or any other measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net earnings to Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted Earnings Per Share
(in thousands, except per share data)
We present Adjusted earnings per share ("Adjusted EPS") as a supplemental measure of our performance. We define Adjusted EPS as diluted earnings per share excluding non-cash and other adjustments, including the impact of contingent purchase compensation expense and amortization expense relating to purchase accounting for historical acquisitions. We present Adjusted EPS because we believe that it assists investors in understanding the impact of acquisition-related costs on our earnings per share and comparing our performance across operating periods on a consistent basis and provides additional insight into our core earnings performance. Adjusted EPS is not a measurement of financial performance or liquidity under generally accepted accounting principles. In evaluating our performance as measured by Adjusted EPS, management recognizes and considers the limitations of this measure. Adjusted EPS does not reflect certain cash expenses that we are obligated to make, and although contingent purchase compensation expense and amortization expense are non-cash charges in the period reported, such charges reflect historical or future cash payments in conjunction with our acquisition transactions. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EPS differently than we do or may not calculate it at all, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EPS should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, basic and diluted earnings per share, cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities, or any other measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of diluted earnings per share to Adjusted EPS (note that some totals may not add due to rounding).
