American CareSource Announces 2013 First Quarter Results
DALLAS, May 9, 2013 - American CareSource Holdings (NASDAQ: ANCI), a leading national network of ancillary healthcare providers, today reported results for the three months ended March 31.
Net Revenue
Net revenue was $7.6 million for the first quarter of 2013, as compared to $9.4 million in the same period a year ago. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, revenue from ACS' two significant legacy clients, both of which are preferred provider organizations (“PPOs”), declined $1.3 million, or 32 percent, as compared to the same period in 2012, due to factors described previously by the company. The revenue declines were partially offset by an increase from other legacy accounts (those added between 2005 and 2009). Revenue from the accounts increased $246,000, or 14 percent, in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to the same quarter last year. The increase in revenue was the result of a shift in the mix of ancillary service categories billed.
Revenue from non-legacy accounts (those added between 2010 and 2013) declined $785,000, or 21 percent, to $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2013. While the accounts are primarily third-party administrators (“TPAs”), revenue from the only PPO in the group suffered a 44 percent decline in the current quarter compared to last year. The client utilized an alternative laboratory services program resulting in reduced claims volume to us. Revenue from the non-legacy accounts also was negatively impacted by a shift in the mix of ancillary service categories billed, which affected revenue and estimates of future collections. We executed contracts with two new TPAs during the first quarter of 2013. While the timing and financial impact of the contracts are being assessed, they are expected to contribute revenue later in 2013.
Sequentially, first quarter 2013 net revenues decreased 16 percent to $7.6 million from $9.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. The decrease was due to the aforementioned factors in addition to the impact of seasonality factors.
Claims Volumes
ACS billed 31,000 claims during the first quarter of 2013, a decrease from the 44,000 claims billed during the same period in 2012. The lower claims volume was primarily the result of the decline in claims volume from the company's two significant legacy clients. Sequentially, claims volume in the first quarter of 2013 declined 16 percent, as compared with the fourth quarter of 2012, due to the same factors in addition to the impact of seasonality.
Following are claims volumes for the periods presented:
(Claim amounts in 000's) | Q1 2013 | Q4 2012 | Q1 2012 |
Claims: | |||
Processed | 39 | 47 | 55 |
Billed | 31 | 37 | 44 |
Contribution Margin
Contribution margin for the first quarter of 2013 decreased to 10 percent, as compared with 14 percent reported during the first quarter of 2012. The decrease was the result of the increase in provider payments as a percentage of revenue, from 72.3 percent in the first quarter of 2012 to 76.5 percent in the first quarter of this year. The decline in margin on provider payments is the result of the combination of the mix of clients that utilized our network of ancillary service providers and the mix of ancillary service categories utilized. The mix of clients and service categories shifted from those that historically contribute higher margins compared to the first quarter of 2012.
Following is a comparison of statement of operations components as a percentage of net revenue:
Q1 2013 | Q4 2012 | Q1 2012 | ||||
Provider payments | 76.5 | % | 73.3 | % | 72.3 | % |
Administrative fees | 4.3 | % | 4.2 | % | 4.9 | % |
Claims administration and provider development | 9.0 | % | 7.8 | % | 9.1 | % |
Total cost of revenues | 89.8 | % | 85.3 | % | 86.3 | % |
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)
SG&A for the first quarter of 2013 increased 5 percent to $1.7 million from $1.6 million in the same period last year. The increase was related to consulting and legal fees associated with the review of strategic initiatives and various client and strategic contractual matters. The increase was offset by a decline in SG&A personnel costs of $48,000, or 6 percent, in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to the same prior year period. In addition, SG&A costs included $43,000 of restructuring costs in the first quarter of 2012.
SG&A was 22.4 percent of revenues in the first quarter of 2013, as compared with 17.3 percent in the same period of 2012.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2013 was a loss of $864,000, compared to a loss of $99,000 reported in the prior-year period.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss excluding the impact of income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, amortization of long-term client agreements, restructuring charges and other non-cash charges. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, but not in lieu of, net income or loss reported under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss is provided in the tables accompanying this release.
Financial Liquidity
Total cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2013, were $8.9 million, as compared to $10.7 million reported at Dec. 31, 2012. The decline in cash at March 31, 2013 as compared to Dec. 31, 2012 was the result of the operating loss incurred during the first quarter of 2013. In addition, as anticipated, our cash balance also was impacted by working capital changes, primarily the timing of cash receipts and associated payments to ancillary service providers. Payments of $1.2 million were made to providers early in the first quarter of 2013 related to cash receipts received in late-December 2012.
The company remained debt-free as of March 31, 2013.
