LifePoint Health Reports Second Quarter 2016 Results

BRENTWOOD, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

LifePoint Health, Inc. LPNT today announced results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016.

For the second quarter ended June 30, 2016, consolidated revenues were $1,592.4 million, up 25.3% from $1,270.4 million for the same period last year, primarily as a result of our recent acquisitions in Flemingsburg, Kentucky, Jeffersonville, Indiana, Watertown, Wisconsin, Hickory, North Carolina, Sanford, North Carolina, Columbus, Georgia and Columbia, South Carolina.

Net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016, was $20.1 million, down $29.7 million, or 59.6%, compared with net income of $49.8 million for the same period last year. Net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016, includes charges of $22.0 million, or $13.7 million net of income taxes, for debt transaction costs related to the extinguishment of certain existing debt instruments and the issuance of certain new debt instruments as well as accelerated depreciation expense of $1.5 million, or $0.9 million net of income taxes, for the existing Marquette General Hospital because of our commitment to construct a new replacement hospital.

Diluted earnings per share attributable to LifePoint Health, Inc. stockholders for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016, decreased 62.0% to $0.38 compared with $1.00 for the same period last year. Diluted earnings per share attributable to LifePoint Health, Inc. stockholders for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016, was negatively impacted by a total of $0.33 per share as a result of a combination of debt transaction costs and Marquette General Hospital accelerated depreciation expense. When adjusted to exclude these two items, adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to LifePoint Health, Inc. stockholders for the second quarter of 2016 decreased 29.0% to $0.71 compared with $1.00 for the same period last year, primarily as a result of higher depreciation, amortization, and interest expense associated with our recent acquisitions.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, consolidated revenues were $3,173.1 million, up 25.2% from $2,534.1 million for the same period last year, primarily as a result of the aforementioned recent acquisitions as well as the acquisition of a hospital in Roaring Spring, Pennsylvania.

Net income for the first half of 2016 was $44.0 million, down $47.8 million, or 52.1%, compared with net income of $91.8 million for the same period last year. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2016, includes charges of $22.0 million, or $13.7 million net of income taxes, for debt transaction costs, $3.2 million, or $2.0 million net of income taxes, attributable to Marquette General Hospital accelerated depreciation expense, charges of $24.7 million, or $15.5 million net of income taxes, related to cardiology-related lawsuits and a $1.2 million impairment charge, or $0.8 million net of income taxes, related to the write-off of certain capital assets. Similarly, net income for the six months ended June 30, 2015, includes impairment charges of $11.6 million, or $7.5 million net of income taxes, related to the strategic divestitures of four hospitals.

Diluted earnings per share attributable to LifePoint Health, Inc. stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2016, decreased 52.7% to $0.87 compared with $1.84 for the same period last year. Diluted earnings per share attributable to LifePoint Health, Inc. stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2016, was negatively impacted by a total of $0.72 per share as a result of a combination of debt transaction costs, Marquette General Hospital accelerated depreciation expense, cardiology-related lawsuits and an impairment charge. Similarly, diluted earnings per share attributable to LifePoint Health Inc. stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2015, was negatively impacted by a total of $0.16 per share as a result of impairment charges. When adjusted to exclude these various items, adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to LifePoint Health, Inc. stockholders for the first half of 2016 decreased 20.5% to $1.59 compared with $2.00 for the same period last year, primarily as a result of higher depreciation, amortization, and interest expense associated with our recent acquisitions.

Finally, Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016, increased slightly by 0.2% to $175.4 million compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $175.0 million for the same period last year and Adjusted Normalized EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2016, increased 3.7% to $361.7 million compared with Adjusted Normalized EBITDA of $348.8 million for the same period last year. Adjusted Normalized EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2016, has been adjusted to exclude the impact of $24.7 million in charges related to cardiology-related lawsuits recognized during the first quarter of 2016. Additional information regarding Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Normalized EBITDA, including definitions, uses by management and others and a reconciliation to net income, is set forth in this release under the section titled "Unaudited Supplemental Information."

"We remain focused on executing on our strategic plan and driving shareholder value," said William F. Carpenter III, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of LifePoint Health. "While we did not meet our expectations, the shortfall was isolated primarily to two hospitals, where we took proactive steps that position us to achieve our long-term quality and financial goals. Our business remains strong, and we are confident we will deliver on our revised guidance in the second half."

In the quarter, one of the Company's largest hospitals experienced the loss of certain key physicians, including the Company's decision to part ways with the physician leader of a key service line. This resulted in additional professional fees, call pay, severance costs and recruiting expenses. At a recently acquired hospital, the Company chose to incur additional expense to implement a new physician billing system to ensure accuracy and to help achieve long-term synergies. The Company estimates the collective impact of these expenses in the quarter to be approximately $15.0 million.

Our cash flows provided by operating activities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the same periods last year were negatively impacted by the timing of payments for income taxes and interest as well as a decrease in the amount and timing of receipts related to certain Medicaid disproportionate share hospital programs and outstanding accounts receivable. The timing of cash collections for outstanding accounts receivable was negatively impacted as a result of the time lag involved in obtaining the necessary authorizations to begin billing under the Medicare, Medicaid and other private insurers programs at certain of our recently acquired facilities. We obtained all of the required approvals during the second quarter of 2016.

The Company's revised guidance for 2016 is:

Estimated Net Revenue		$6.35 - $6.45 billion
Estimated Adjusted Normalized EBITDA		$740.0 - $760.0 million
Estimated Adjusted Diluted EPS		$3.43 - $3.70
Same-hospital Estimated Volume and Rate:
Equivalent Admissions		(1.0)% - 0.0%
Revenue per Equivalent Admission		2.5% - 3.5%

Guidance excludes the impact of $24.7 million in charges for cardiology-related lawsuits recognized in the first half of 2016 as well as the first half or future impact of items that are non-operational in nature, including items such as, but not limited to, debt transaction costs, Marquette General Hospital accelerated depreciation, changes in depreciation and amortization expense for recent acquisitions as a result of the finalization of the valuations of certain tangible and intangible assets acquired, impairment charges and share repurchases, if any. Additionally, guidance excludes the estimated impact of future acquisitions, if applicable. Finally, this guidance is subject to certain risks including those as set forth in the Company's "Important Legal Information."

A listen-only simulcast, as well as a 30-day replay, of LifePoint Health's second quarter 2016 conference call will be available on line at www.lifepointhealth.net/investor-relations today, Friday, July 29, 2016, beginning at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time.

⁽¹⁾ Consolidated information includes the results of our health support center, our same-hospital operations and the results of our recent acquisitions. Additionally, consolidated information includes the results of our hospitals that have previously been disposed.

⁽²⁾ Management and investors use equivalent admissions as a general measure of combined inpatient and outpatient volume. We compute equivalent admissions by multiplying admissions (inpatient volumes) by the outpatient factor (the sum of gross inpatient revenue and gross outpatient revenue and then dividing the resulting amount by gross inpatient revenue). The equivalent admissions computation "equates" outpatient revenue to the volume measure (admissions) used to measure inpatient volume resulting in a general measure of combined inpatient and outpatient volume.

⁽³⁾ Same-hospital information includes the results of our health support center and the same 64 hospitals operated during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the same 63 hospitals operated during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Same-hospital information excludes our hospitals that have previously been disposed.

UNAUDITED SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
Dollars in millions

Adjusted EBITDA is defined by the Company as earnings before depreciation and amortization; interest expense, net; debt transaction costs; impairment charges; provision for income taxes; and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests. Additionally, Adjusted Normalized EBITDA has been adjusted to exclude the impact of $24.7 million in charges related to cardiology-related lawsuits recognized during the first quarter of 2016. LifePoint's management and Board of Directors use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Normalized EBITDA to evaluate the Company's operating performance and as a measure of performance for incentive compensation purposes. LifePoint's credit facilities use Adjusted EBITDA, subject to further permitted adjustments, for certain financial covenants. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Normalized EBITDA are measures of performance used by some investors, equity analysts, rating agencies and lenders to make informed decisions as to, among other things, our ability to incur and service debt and make capital expenditures. In addition, multiples of current or projected Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Normalized EBITDA are used by some investors and equity analysts to estimate current or prospective enterprise value. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Normalized EBITDA should not be considered as measures of financial performance under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), and the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Normalized EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Normalized EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows generated by operating, investing or financing activities or other financial statement data presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements as an indicator of financial performance. Because Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Normalized EBITDA are not measurements determined in accordance with GAAP and are susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Normalized EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

The following table reconciles net income as reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Normalized EBITDA:

From time to time, the Company incurs certain non-recurring gains or losses that are normally nonoperational in nature and that it does not consider relevant in assessing its ongoing operating performance. When significant, LifePoint's management and Board of Directors typically exclude these gains or losses when evaluating the Company's operating performance and in certain instances when evaluating performance for incentive compensation purposes. Additionally, the Company believes that some investors and equity analysts exclude these or similar items when evaluating the Company's current or future operating performance and in making informed investment decisions regarding the Company. Accordingly, the Company provides adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to LifePoint Health, Inc. stockholders as a supplement to its comparable GAAP measure of diluted earnings per share attributable to LifePoint Health, Inc. Adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to LifePoint Health, Inc. stockholders should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded from adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to LifePoint Health, Inc. stockholders are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to LifePoint Health, Inc. stockholders should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to diluted earnings per share attributable to LifePoint Health, Inc. stockholders as presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
