AMSURG Corp. (NASDAQ: AMSG) today announced financial results
for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016. The
Company’s results for the quarter, compared with the second quarter
of 2015, included:
- Net revenues of $758.5 million, up 18%
from $642.0 million for the second quarter of 2015;
- An increase of 39% in net earnings
attributable to AMSURG common shareholders to $43.8 million;
- A 23% increase in net earnings
attributable to AMSURG common shareholders to $0.80 per diluted
share;
- An increase of 27% in adjusted net
earnings to $63.1 million;
- 13% growth in adjusted net earnings to
$1.10 per diluted share, on a 12% increase in diluted shares
outstanding, if converted, primarily due the Company’s December
2015 public offering of common stock; and
- Adjusted EBITDA of $149.2 million, up
17%.
See page 6 for a reconciliation of all GAAP and non-GAAP
financial results.
“We are pleased with AMSURG’s operating and financial
performance for the second quarter, highlighted by our significant
profitable growth,” commented Christopher A. Holden, President and
Chief Executive Officer of AMSURG. “Our net revenues again
reflected meaningful organic growth, with a 4.2% increase in same
center revenues for our Ambulatory Services division and a 5.5%
increase in same contract revenue for our Physician Services
division. We also continued to expand and strengthen our market
presence for both divisions and positioned AMSURG for future growth
through the completion of nine acquisitions during the quarter.
Finally, we executed a definitive agreement for a transformative
merger with Envision Healthcare. On completion, this merger will
create a national provider of a broad continuum of clinical network
solutions, including multiple outsourced physician specialties,
such as emergency, hospitalist, anesthesia, radiology and
children’s services, as well as solutions for ambulatory surgery,
post-acute care and medical transportation. We continue to expect
to complete the merger by the end of 2016, subject to regulatory
approvals, approval by Envision and AMSURG shareholders and the
satisfaction or waiver of other customary closing conditions.
“During the second quarter, Ambulatory Services acquired four
ambulatory surgery centers. Physician Services completed five
acquisitions during the second quarter, three of which were closed
on June 30, 2016. The Physician Services transactions were
comprised of a radiology practice and four anesthesia practices,
including a multi-state anesthesia practice focused on serving
ASCs. The transactions expanded Physician Services’ presence in
existing markets and established the division’s initial presence in
Illinois. We continue to evaluate additional potential acquisitions
in our strong pipeline, including opportunities for Ambulatory
Services and across all our Physician Services specialties. In the
first half of 2016, we deployed nearly $300 million of capital for
acquisitions, which we expect to increase to approximately $400
million for the full year. Subsequent to the end of the second
quarter, Ambulatory Services has completed the acquisition of three
additional ASCs.
“During the second quarter, the timing of our acquisitions was
later than anticipated, which affected the quarter’s revenue and
will affect our full-year revenue performance. In addition, our
Physician Services new contract signings are on target to meet or
exceed our expectations for the year, however, the start dates for
these new contracts are later in the year than assumed when
preparing our revenue guidance. While the timing of the new
contract starts will affect revenue growth for 2016, it will have
little impact on net earnings.”
Ambulatory Services
Net revenues for the second quarter of 2016 were $319.7 million,
a 2.8% increase from $311.0 million for the second quarter of 2015.
The growth in net revenue was impacted by the deconsolidation of
nine ASCs during the 12 months ended June 30, 2016, which
contributed incremental revenues of $18.4 million for the second
quarter of 2015. The 4.2% increase in same center revenues for the
second quarter of 2016 compared with the second quarter of 2015 was
comprised of a 3.3% increase in procedures and a 0.9% increase in
net revenue per procedure. Adjusted EBITDA was $61.7 million for
the second quarter, up 2.4% from $60.3 million for the second
quarter last year.
Ambulatory Services operated 258 ASCs and one surgical hospital
at June 30, 2016. In addition to acquiring four ASCs during the
quarter, Ambulatory Services disposed of two ASCs and
deconsolidated one ASC, which was contributed to a new joint
venture with a hospital. The division had four ASCs under letter of
intent at the end of the second quarter of 2016, three of which
have now been purchased, and one ASC was under development, which
is expected to open in the third quarter of 2016.
Physician Services
Net revenues for Physician Services increased 33% to $438.8
million from $331.0 million for the second quarter of 2015.
Adjusted EBITDA was $87.5 million for the quarter, up 29% from
$67.7 million for the second quarter of 2015, and adjusted EBITDA
margin was 19.9% compared with 20.4%.
The comparable-quarter growth in Physician Services revenues was
comprised of an increase of 4.5% in same-contract revenues, 0.6% in
net new contract revenues and 27.5% in acquisition revenues.
Same-contract growth in net revenues totaled 5.5% for the second
quarter of 2016, which included a 5.1% increase in patient
encounters per day and a 0.4% increase in net revenue per patient
encounter.
Liquidity
At June 30, 2016, AMSURG had cash and cash equivalents of $74.1
million and availability under its $500 million revolving credit
facility of $100 million. Net cash flows from operations, less
distributions to noncontrolling interests, were $54.5 million for
the second quarter. The Company’s ratio of total debt at the end of
the second quarter to trailing 12 months EBITDA as calculated under
the Company’s credit agreement was 4.2.
Merger Update
AMSURG expects that the preliminary joint proxy
statement/prospectus related to its previously announced merger
with Envision Healthcare Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: EVHC) will be filed
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday,
August 4, 2016, by the new registrant “New Amethyst Corp.”
Guidance
AMSURG today adjusted its 2016 financial guidance for net
revenues as a result of the revised timing of acquisitions and new
contract signings in 2016. The Company also provided financial
guidance for the third quarter of 2016. The Company’s financial and
operating guidance is as follows:
- Revenues of $3.05 billion to $3.09
billion for 2016, compared with $3.09 billion to $3.13 billion
previously;
- A same-center revenue increase of 4% to
6% for Ambulatory Services for 2016 and same-contract revenue
growth of 4% to 6% in Physician Services;
- Adjusted EBITDA of $592 million to $601
million for 2016;
- Adjusted EPS of $4.28 to $4.35 for
2016; and
- For the third quarter of 2016, adjusted
EPS of $1.10 to $1.13.
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA guidance for the full year of 2016
excludes interest expense, income taxes, depreciation,
amortization, share-based compensation, transaction costs, changes
in contingent purchase price consideration, gain or loss on
deconsolidations and discontinued operations. Non-GAAP Adjusted EPS
guidance for the third quarter and full year of 2016 exclude
acquisition-related transaction costs, acquisition-related
amortization expense, gains and losses on future deconsolidation
transactions and share-based compensation expense, net of the tax
impact thereon. The exact amount of such exclusions are not
currently determinable but may be significant and may vary
significantly from period to period (see page 6 for a
reconciliation of all GAAP and non-GAAP financial results).

AMSURG CORP.
Footnotes to Reconciliations of
Non-GAAP Measures to GAAP Measures
(1) We believe the calculation of adjusted net earnings from
continuing operations per diluted share attributable to AmSurg
Corp. common shareholders provides a better measure of our ongoing
performance and provides better comparability to prior periods
because it excludes discontinued operations, the gains or loss from
deconsolidations, which are non-cash in nature, transaction costs,
including associated debt extinguishment costs and deferred
financing write-off, and acquisition-related amortization expense,
changes in contingent purchase price consideration and share-based
compensation expense. Adjusted net earnings from continuing
operations per diluted share attributable to AmSurg Corp. common
shareholders should not be considered as a measure of financial
performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States, and the items excluded from it is a significant
component in understanding and assessing financial performance.
Because adjusted net earnings from continuing operations per
diluted share attributable to AmSurg Corp. common shareholders is
not a measurement determined in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States and is thus
susceptible to varying calculations, it may not be comparable as
presented to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
For purposes of calculating adjusted earnings per share, we utilize
the if-converted method to determine the number of diluted shares
outstanding. In periods where utilizing the if-converted method is
anti-dilutive, the mandatory convertible preferred stock will not
be included in the calculation of diluted shares outstanding.
(2) We define Adjusted EBITDA of AmSurg as earnings before
interest expense, net, income taxes, depreciation, amortization,
share-based compensation, transaction costs, changes in contingent
purchase price consideration, gain or loss on deconsolidations and
discontinued operations. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a
measure of financial performance under generally accepted
accounting principles. Items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are
significant components in understanding and assessing financial
performance. Adjusted EBITDA is an analytical indicator used by
management and the health care industry to evaluate company
performance, allocate resources and measure leverage and debt
service capacity. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in
isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows from
operations, investing or financing activities, or other financial
statement data presented in the consolidated financial statements
as indicators of financial performance or liquidity. Because
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and is thus susceptible to
varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be
comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
Net earnings from continuing operations attributable to AmSurg
Corp. common shareholders is the financial measure calculated and
presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles that is most comparable to Adjusted EBITDA as defined.
