Management Comments
William Yarmuth, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented: "We are extremely pleased to be announcing our third quarter earnings this morning along with the news of acquiring Home Care by Black Stone. This marks our fourth acquisition announcement of 2015 and we are very happy to welcome the Black Stone employees to our family of caregivers. With regard to earnings we are also pleased with our progress in the quarter which includes closing on the New York and Connecticut portions of the WillCare acquisition on August 29, 2015 and our second year of successful operation under the Medicare Shared Savings Program for ACO's. Revenues in the quarter were at an all-time record level and our quarterly adjusted earnings per share were the second-highest in our history eclipsed only by our earnings in the seasonally-higher second quarter of 2015."
Steve Guenthner, President commented: "With today's news, we mark two new 'second-time' events in our development. With Home Care by Black Stone included, Ohio is now the second state, Florida being the first, in which our revenues will exceed the $100 million mark. Additionally, with the year not yet over, 2015 already ranks as our second most acquisitive year with four separate transactions announced, almost $100 million of capital deployed and over $120 million in revenues from acquired operations."
Regarding CMS final regulations for 2016 Guenthner added: "We were pleased to see directionally positive movement from the proposed rule to the final rule. While we continue to question some of the implementation details in the Value Based Purchasing model, now that it is in the final rule, we plan to work hard to demonstrate the quality of our care and our ability to perform under the program. We strongly support CMS and other regulators' efforts to define desired provider objectives, such as improving patient outcomes, and to incentivize providers to compete to achieve those objectives. We look forward to continue to work with them in this regard."
Yarmuth concluded: "Stating the somewhat obvious, we are very optimistic about the future of home care in the health care delivery system and about the prospects for Almost Family in particular. We have been very acquisitive year to date in 2015 and we plan to continue be very active both as a consolidator in home health and an innovator in related business opportunities.
Third Quarter Financial Results
The WillCare acquisition contributed $3.5 million in revenue and $0.6 million in contribution to the VN results. VN segment net revenues increased to $98.3 million from $95.1 million in the prior year as WillCare related revenues were partially offset by lower organic revenues. Total Medicare admissions grew by 1.6% to 21,876 from 21,531, resulting from a 2.6% increase from acquired operations partially offset by a 1.0% decrease in organic admissions. Within the organic change in Medicare admissions, those reimbursed episodically increased about 1% while those reimbursed on a per-visit basis declined 13%. VN segment contribution of $12.1 million or 12.3% of revenue remained consistent with the first half of 2015 and increased 7.8% over the same period of last year.
The WillCare acquisition contributed $3.4 million in revenue and $0.6 million in contribution to the PC segment results. PC segment net revenues increased 7.7% to a record $30.8 million in 2015 from $28.6 million in 2014, as acquired WillCare revenues were partially offset by a decline in organic revenues primarily related to changes in Ohio. PC segment contribution decreased 2.2% as compared to the same period of last year, primarily due to reimbursement and mix changes and increased worker's compensation claims during the current period.
Deal, transition and other costs for 2015 include a one-time benefit of $4.2 million related to legal settlements, which was partially offset by a $1.8 million provision for the Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing of a specific payer and $1.1 million of deal, transition and closure costs primarily related to the 2015 acquisitions. Deal and transition costs of $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2014 primarily related to the completion of the transition of our 2013 acquisitions.
Net cash from operating activities of $8.3 million was generated in the three months ended October 2, 2015. The Company noted that it has reduced days sales outstanding in accounts receivable and expects to continue to make progress in this area.
The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2015 was 21.0% compared to 42.4% for the third quarter of 2014. The lower effective tax rate for the 2015 period was primarily related to the tax treatment of a legal settlement in the third quarter of 2015. Excluding the non-taxable settlement our effective tax rate for 2015 is approximately 40.5%.
Year to Date Financial Results
VN segment net revenues increased $10.6 million, to $295.6 million from $285.1 million in the prior year. VN segment net revenues were a record high for the nine-month period. Medicare admissions grew by 3.2% to 67,965 from 65,868. VN segment contribution of $36.9 million or 12.5% of revenue increased 15.0% over $32.1 million in the same period of last year. The WillCare acquisition contributed $3.5 million in revenue and $0.6 million in contribution to the VN results.
PC segment net revenues increased $5.4 million or 6.5% to a record $89.1 million in 2015 from $83.6 million in 2014. PC segment contribution increased 2.7% to a record $9.6 million as compared to $9.3 million in the same period of last year. The WillCare acquisition contributed $4.7 million in revenue and $0.7 million in contribution to the PC segment results.
Net cash from operating activities of $13.4 million was generated in the nine months ended October 2, 2015. Investing activities used $58.4 million of cash in acquisitions, investments and capital expenditures.
The effective tax rate for the nine months of 2015 was 32.9% compared to 40.5% for the nine months of 2014. The lower effective tax rate for the 2015 period was primarily related to the tax treatment of a legal settlement in the third quarter of 2015.
Year to Date Corporate Developments
- On September 29, 2015, we announced the acquisition of a Medicare-certified home health agency in Bayonne, NJ which is expected to close before the end of 2015.
- On July 23, 2015 we acquired the stock of Ingenios Health provider of in-home clinical assessments.
- On August 29, 2015 the Company completed the final acquisition of WillCare.
- On November 4, 2015, the Company acquired Home Care by Black Stone.
- FY 2015 acquisitions are expected to add over $125 million to our annual revenue run-rate.
- Effective with the first quarter of 2015 the Company adopted a 52-53 fiscal reporting calendar under which it will report its annual results going forward in four equal 13-week quarters. Every fifth year, one quarter will include 14 weeks and that year will include 53 weeks of operating results. Once fully adopted, this approach will help minimize the impact of calendar differences when comparing different historical periods.
- As a result of the change in the fiscal reporting calendar, the quarter ended October 2, 2015 included one fewer day of results than they would have had if the change had not been made, while the year to date period January 1, 2015 through October 2, 2015 included 2 more days of results than they would have had if the change not been made. Due to the fiscal reporting calendar change, the Independence Day holiday observed on July 3, 2015 was reported in the second quarter of 2015, while being included in the third quarter of 2014. Excluding the Independence Day holiday from the current quarter increased diluted EPS by $0.03 in the current period.
Medicare Home Health Rule for 2016
On October 29, 2015, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued its CY2016 Home Health Prospective Payment System Rate Update. CMS is implementing a 0.13% increase in the National, Standardized 60-Day Episode Payment Amount consisting of a 2.9% "market basket" increase minus a 0.6% productivity adjustment, a 2.71% ($80.95 per episode) rebasing cut, a 0.97% case mix creep cut and an increase of 1.87% to maintain budget neutrality with respect to recalibration of the home health case mix model for CY2016. The impact of recalibration of the case-mix model on the Company results in CY2016 will depend upon the Company's actual patient mix in that period. CMS is also implementing a "Value Based Purchasing" (VBP) demonstration in 9 states (including Florida, Tennessee and Massachusetts where the Company has significant operations) under which certain 2016 agency specific performance measures would be used to establish individual agency reimbursement rates for 2018. Investors are encouraged to read the rule in its entirety at http://federalregister.gov/a/2015-27931.

Adjusted EBITDA from Home Health Operations
Adjusted earnings before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization, amortization of stock-based compensation, deal, transition and other and Healthcare Innovations operating loss (Adjusted EBTIDA from Home Health Operations) is not a measure of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. It 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 items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA from Home Health Operations are significant components in understanding and evaluating financial performance and liquidity. Management routinely calculates and communicates Adjusted EBITDA from Home Health Operations and believes that it is useful to investors because it provides a common analytical indicator within our industry to evaluate performance, measure leverage capacity and debt service ability, and to estimate current or prospective enterprise value. Adjusted EBITDA is also used in certain covenants contained in our credit agreement.
