Providence Service Corporation Reports Q1 2013 Results

 

First Quarter Highlights:

Revenue rose 8% over last year’s first quarter to $281.5 million

Diluted earnings per share increased to $0.49

Net cash provided by operations totaled $30 million

Net income and adjusted EBITDA increased 120% and 64%, respectively, from the first quarter of 2012

 

TUCSON, ARIZONA – May 8, 2013 -- The Providence Service Corporation (Nasdaq: PRSC) today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013.

 

First Quarter 2013 Results

For the first quarter of 2013, the Company reported revenue of $281.5 million, an increase of 8% from $260.1 million in the comparable period in 2012. Revenue from Providence’s non-emergency transportation (NET) services segment grew 17% to $193.1 million in the first quarter from $164.7 million in the prior year period, benefiting from new contacts and program expansions in certain NET markets. Revenue from the social services segment declined 7% to $88.4 million from $95.5 million in the first quarter of 2012. Social services revenue was impacted primarily by 2012 contract terminations related to the workforce development business in Canada as well as the expiration of contracts related to Providence’s home based educational tutoring business due to changes in the No Child Left Behind Act. Excluding Canada and educational tutoring, social services revenue would have declined by approximately 2% which was due primarily to the impact of inclement weather on billable hours in the Northeast.

 

Providence reported net income of $6.7 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2013 compared to net income of $3.0 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2012. Earnings for the first quarter of 2013 were positively impacted by the full implementation of NET contracts that were in start-up mode in the first quarter of 2012, the recent expansion of business in existing markets and negotiated rate adjustments in select programs in both the social services and NET segments. The prior year quarter included a non-recurring tax benefit of approximately $0.03 per share related to a tax accounting method change for a 2011 acquisition. Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) for the first quarter of 2013 was $16.8 million, representing an increase of 64% from $10.3 million in the same period last year. A reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) is presented below.

 

The Company had approximately 16.8 million individuals eligible to receive services under its NET contracts at March 31, 2013, an increase of 36% from approximately 12.4 million at March 31, 2012. Providence’s direct social service client census was approximately 54,500 at March 31, 2013 compared to approximately 61,900 at March 31, 2012. The decrease in the number of clients was primarily due to contract terminations in certain markets and expiration of contracts related to our home based educational tutoring business which resulted from waivers granted under the No Child Left Behind Act.

At March 31, 2013, the Company had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $83.1 million. During the first quarter of 2013, the Company generated a total of $29.8 million in cash from operations. At March 31, 2013, the Company had total long-term obligations of $127.3 million compared to $130.0 million at December 31, 2012.

 

“We are pleased with our NET results in the quarter, which saw the effect of a full quarter of revenue from our NET start-up efforts in 2012 as well as the final phase-in of our New York City contract , which went live in January,” said Warren Rustand, Chief Executive Officer. “Our results also benefited from expanded NET business in Georgia and South Carolina compared to the year ago period, as well as further growth of our commercial and managed care lines of business in California. Additionally, we are starting to benefit from negotiated rate adjustments in select programs.”

 

“On the social services side, our contract base is solid going into the 2013 renewal cycle with the implementation of several new programs including our foster care contract in Texas. We remain committed to our focus on operating efficiencies and improving returns. We saw some initial benefit in the first quarter as a result of performance improvements and positive rate increases in certain markets. As we look to the remainder of 2013 and beyond, we will continue to invest in our infrastructure and take the necessary steps to position the company to benefit from emerging trends in healthcare, particularly the development of integrated models of healthcare delivery and increased outsourcing of transportation management.”

About Providence

The Providence Service Corporation provides or manages the delivery of home and community based social services and NET management services to primarily government sponsored clients under programs such as welfare, juvenile justice, Medicaid and corrections.  Providence is unique in that it provides or manages social services primarily in the client's own home or in community based settings rather than in hospitals or other treatment facilities, and provides its NET management services through local transportation providers rather than an owned fleet of vehicles.  The Company provides a range of services through its direct entities to approximately 54,500 clients through 649 active contracts at March 31, 2013, with an approximate 16.8 million individuals eligible to receive the Company's non-emergency transportation services.  The Company had over $1.1 billion in revenues in 2012.

 

 

Non-GAAP Presentation

In addition to the financial results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) provided throughout this press release, the Company has provided EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP measurements, which present its earnings on a pro forma basis. Providence’s management utilizes these non-GAAP measurements as a means to measure overall operating performance and to better compare current operating results with other companies within its industry. Details of the excluded items and a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measure are presented in the table below. The non-GAAP measures do not replace the presentation of our GAAP financial results. The Company has provided this supplemental non-GAAP information because the Company believes it provides meaningful comparisons of the results of Providence’s operations for the periods presented in this
