Operating Results
Daniel Walker, Pennant's Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, "We are pleased with our full year and fourth quarter results and are encouraged by the progress being made across the organization. We are grateful for our local operators who, in the midst of the spin-off, remained focused on executing with sound operational fundamentals. We are confident in our ability to achieve strong results and continued growth in 2020."
Commenting on the health of our operations, Mr. Walker continued, "In our home health and hospice business, our local leaders achieved solid organic growth in 2019 while preparing for the implementation of PDGM, and we are excited about additional organic growth and acquisition opportunities throughout 2020. Our senior living segment continues to navigate the significant leadership, systems and business alignment changes resulting from the spin-off transaction. This segment is showing signs of growth in a few metrics, and there remains significant untapped potential across this business. As you may recall, most of these buildings are relatively new to the portfolio and we expect this process to continue for several more quarters."
Noting a healthy balance sheet, sequential leverage ratio improvement and available credit capacity, Mr. Walker said, "We also see signs of significant acquisition opportunities in the near future, and we have positioned ourselves to be an active solution in the deal market, particularly where our underlying operational results support further growth."
Jennifer Freeman, Pennant's Chief Financial Officer, noted that at the beginning of the quarter the Company drew down $30 million of its new $75 million revolving line of credit in connection with the spin-off to fund a dividend to Ensign, pay transaction-related costs and retain a portion as cash on hand for working capital and other related purposes. During the quarter and since, the Company paid down $10 million of its revolver, with approximately $52.0 million of availability for future acquisitions and general business purposes. Ms. Freeman commented that the Company's balance sheet remains strong, with a net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio of 0.72x, a lease-adjusted net debt-to-adjusted EBITDAR ratio of 4.82x and cash on hand of $0.4 million at quarter end. "Our leverage ratios improved from the beginning of the quarter with our fourth quarter results and the pay down of the revolver. With the last of the large spin-off related transaction costs behind us, we can draw on our ample revolver capacity for acquisition activity we anticipate in 2020 and beyond. As our operations continue to mature, we expect our leverage ratios and balance sheet to remain healthy," said Ms. Freeman.
A discussion of the company's use of non-GAAP financial measures is set forth below. A reconciliation of net income to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDAR, adjusted EBITDA, and segment adjusted EBITDA, a reconciliation of GAAP segment adjusted EBITDAR from operations to net income, and a reconciliation of GAAP earnings per share to adjusted net earnings per share, appear in the financial data portion of this release. More complete information is contained in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which is expected to be filed with the SEC today and can be viewed on the company's website at www.pennantgroup.com.
Investment Highlights
Since year end, Pennant's affiliates acquired the following operations:
- Comfort Home Health, a home health agency serving patients in Clark County, Nevada;
- Heritage Assisted Living of Twin Falls, a senior living community with 75 assisted living units and 89 independent living units located in Twin Falls, Idaho; and
- Hospice of Missoula, a hospice agency based in Missoula, Montana.
Pennant also recently announced that it entered into a definitive agreement with Scripps Health ("Scripps"), a leading nonprofit integrated health system, to form a home health joint venture to serve patients throughout San Diego County, California, and surrounding areas. The transaction is scheduled to close in the third quarter of 2020. "We are thrilled to partner with Scripps to expand our collective capabilities to provide exceptional home health services to the residents of San Diego. Together with the network of Ensign-affiliated skilled nursing facilities in San Diego with which we have partnered through the Ensign Pennant Care Continuum, we believe this joint venture will accelerate our ability to provide collaborative, unique solutions to the community," commented Mr. Walker.
"We will continue to be disciplined when it comes to investment activity and are excited about our ability to grow. As we focus on ensuring our existing operations are healthy and we have local teams ready to step in and lead newly acquired businesses, we will be ready to deploy capital toward deals of all sizes that align with our strategic mission," added Derek Bunker, Pennant's Chief Investment Officer.
Operations acquired bring Pennant's growing portfolio to 65 home health and hospice agencies and 53 senior living communities located across 14 states.
2020 Guidance
For the full year 2020, the Company is not changing the following guidance:
- Total revenue is anticipated to be in the range of $376 million to $386 million, the midpoint of which represents an increase of 12.5% over the midpoint of our full year 2019 revenue.
- Adjusted earnings per share is anticipated to be in the range of $0.53 to $0.58 per diluted share, the midpoint of which represents an increase of 15.6% over our full year spin-adjusted 2019 adjusted earnings per share of $0.48.
The Company's 2020 guidance is based on diluted weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 30.0 million and a 26.4% effective tax rate. In addition, the guidance assumes, among other things, anticipated reimbursement rate adjustments, including the impact of PDGM, no unannounced acquisitions, and the full year impact of general and administrative expenses associated with being a public company. It excludes costs at start-up operations, share-based compensation, acquisition-related costs and certain redundant or nonrecurring general and administrative costs incurred during the transition services period. Full year spin-off adjusted 2019 earnings of $0.48 modifies adjusted earnings per share of $0.61 for the full year impact of several items, including rent modifications that occurred as a result of the spin-off, interest expense, and general and administrative expenses associated with being a public company.

(a) Segment Adjusted EBITDAR from Operations is net income attributable to the Company's reportable segments excluding the interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, rent, and, in order to view the operations performance on a comparable basis from period to period, certain adjustments including: (1) costs at start-up operations, (2) share-based compensation, (3) acquisition related costs, (4) transaction costs, (5) redundant and nonrecurring costs associated with the transition services agreement, and (6) net income attributable to noncontrolling interest. General and administrative expenses are not allocated to the reportable segments, and are included as "All Other", accordingly the segment earnings measure reported is before allocation of corporate general and administrative expenses. The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") uses Segment Adjusted EBITDAR from Operations as the primary measure of profit and loss for the Company's reportable segments and to compare the performance of its operations with those of its competitors. The Company's segment measures may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.
(b) Represents results related to start-up operations. This amount excludes rent and depreciation and amortization expense related to such operations.
(c) Share-based compensation expense incurred which is included in cost of services and general and administrative expense.
(d) Acquisition related costs that are not capitalizable.
(e) Costs incurred related to the Spin-Off are included in general and administrative expense.
(f) The portion of the costs incurred under the Transition Services Agreement identified as redundant or nonrecurring that are included in general and administrative expense. Total fees under incurred under the Transition Services agreement were $2,982 for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA consists of net income before (a) interest expense, net, (b) provisions for income taxes and (c) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA consists of net income attributable to the Company before, (a) interest expense, net, (b) provisions for income taxes, (c) depreciation and amortization, (d) costs incurred for start-up operations, including rent and excluding depreciation, interest and income taxes, (e) share-based compensation expense, (f) acquisition related costs, (g) spin-off related transaction costs, (h) redundant and nonrecurring costs associated with the transition services agreement, and (i) net income attributable to noncontrolling interest. Combined Adjusted EBITDAR is a valuation measure applicable to current periods only and consists of net income attributable to the Company before (a) interest expense, net, (b) rent, (c) provisions for income taxes, (d) depreciation and amortization, (e) costs incurred for start-up operations, including rent and excluding depreciation, interest and income taxes, (f) share-based compensation expense, (g) acquisition related costs, (h) spin-off related transaction costs, (i) redundant and nonrecurring costs associated with the transition services agreement, and (j) net income attributable to noncontrolling interest. The company believes that the presentation of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, combined adjusted EBITDAR, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share provides important supplemental information to management and investors to evaluate the company's operating performance. The company believes disclosure of adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and combined adjusted EBITDAR has economic substance because the excluded revenues and expenses are infrequent in nature and are variable in nature, or do not represent current revenues or cash expenditures. A material limitation associated with the use of these measures as compared to the GAAP measures of net income and diluted earnings per share is that they may not be comparable with the calculation of net income and diluted earnings per share for other companies in the company's industry. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. For further information regarding why the company believes that this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors, the specific manner in which management uses this measure, and some of the limitations associated with the use of this measure, please refer to the company's periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The company's periodic filings are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov or under the "Financial Information" link of the Investor Relations section on Pennant's website at http://www.pennantgroup.com.
