IASIS Healthcare Announces First Quarter 2012 Results

FRANKLIN, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 7, 2012--IASIS Healthcare® LLC (“IASIS”) today announced financial and operating results for the fiscal first quarter ended December 31, 2011. In the first quarter, IASIS adopted accounting guidance that results in the classification of the provision for bad debts as a revenue deduction rather than an operating expense, and such guidance has been applied to the financial statements of both the current and prior year quarters.

Net revenue for the first quarter totaled $623.7 million, an increase of 1.5%, compared to $614.3 million in the prior year quarter. Net revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, which includes an increase in acute care revenue of $60.9 million or 14.8% compared to the prior year quarter, has been affected by a decline in premium revenue at Health Choice, the Company’s Medicaid and Medicare managed health plan in Arizona, as a result of capitation rate reductions implemented by the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (“AHCCCS”) and a state mandated reduction in certain Medicaid enrollees. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter totaled $72.2 million, compared to $68.8 million in the prior year quarter. Net earnings from continuing operations for the first quarter, which includes additional interest costs resulting from the Company’s fiscal 2011 refinancing transaction, totaled $3.6 million, compared to $17.3 million in the prior year quarter.

In the first quarter, admissions and adjusted admissions increased 20.7% and 17.9%, respectively, compared to the prior year quarter. On a same-facility basis, admissions and adjusted admissions increased 4.7% and 3.4%, respectively, compared to the prior year quarter, while net patient revenue per adjusted admission decreased 1.2% compared to the prior year quarter. The decline in net patient revenue per adjusted admission is attributable to Medicaid rate reductions implemented by certain states, as well as an increase in the provision for bad debts resulting from growth in the volume of uninsured patients in certain markets, particularly Arizona where AHCCCS implemented program changes in Medicaid eligibility in July 2011.

Commenting on the first quarter results, IASIS Healthcare President and Chief Executive Officer Carl Whitmer said, “We continue to be pleased with our ability to demonstrate solid operating results, despite the current economic headwinds and reimbursement challenges facing our industry. We believe the quarter’s strong volume growth further affirms our commitments to expanding the reach of our services and achieving operational excellence through clinical integration and providing high-quality, efficient care to the communities we serve.”

Some of the statements we make in this press release are forward-looking within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. Those forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical statements of fact and those regarding our intent, belief or expectations including, but not limited to, future financial and operating results, the Company’s plans, objectives, expectations and other statements that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results in future periods to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. These risk factors and uncertainties are more fully described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained in this press release are reasonable, any of these assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this press release will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, you should not regard the inclusion of such information as a representation by the Company or any other person that our objectives and plans will be achieved.

Adjusted EBITDA represents net earnings from continuing operations before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, gain (loss) on disposal of assets and management fees. Management fees represent monitoring and advisory fees paid to TPG, the Company’s majority financial sponsor, and certain other members of IASIS Investment LLC. Management routinely calculates and communicates adjusted EBITDA and believes that it is useful to investors because it is commonly used as an analytical indicator within the healthcare industry to evaluate hospital performance, allocate resources and measure leverage capacity and debt service ability. In addition, the Company uses adjusted EBITDA as a measure of performance for its business segments and for incentive compensation purposes. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles, and the items excluded from adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net earnings, cash flows generated by operating, investing, or financing activities or other financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial statements as an indicator of financial performance or liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, differs from what is defined under the Company’s senior secured credit facilities and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. A table describing adjusted EBITDA and reconciling net earnings from continuing operations to adjusted EBITDA is included in this press release in the attached Supplemental Consolidated Statements of Operations Information.
