Press Release

National Mentor Holdings, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2013 Results

BOSTON, Massachusetts, May 15, 2013– National Mentor Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended March 31, 2013 including, among other things, a new presentation of non-GAAP financial measures, a discussion of which can be found below, under the caption, “New Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.

Second Quarter Results

Revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 was $295.6 million, an increase of $18.4 million, or 6.6%, over revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Revenue increased $11.9 million from organic growth, including growth related to new programs, and $6.9 million from acquisitions that closed during and after the three months ended March 31, 2012. The organic growth was partially offset by a reduction in revenue of $0.4 million from businesses we divested during the same period.

Income from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 was $10.7 million, an increase of $1.4 million, as compared to income from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 was $7.8 million compared to net loss of $1.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 was $29.9 million, an increase of $3.2 million, or 12.0%, as compared to Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA increased due to core growth and acquisitions closed since March 31, 2012 as well as cost containment efforts. The growth in Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA was partially offset by an increase in occupancy expense. As a result, Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 10.2% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 from 9.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Year-to-Date Results

Revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2013 was $589.2 million, an increase of $39.3 million, or 7.1%, over revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2012. Revenue increased $26.4 million from organic growth, including growth related to new programs, and $13.5 million from acquisitions that closed during and after the six months ended March 31, 2012. Revenue growth was partially offset by a reduction in revenue of $0.6 million from businesses we divested during the same period.

Income from operations for the six months ended March 31, 2013 was $18.4 million, a decrease of $3.4 million as compared to income from operations for the six months ended March 31, 2012. Net loss for the six months ended March 31, 2013 was $16.2 million compared to net loss of $6.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012.

Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended March 31, 2013 was $59.3 million, an increase of $4.0 million, or 7.2 %, as compared to Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended March 31, 2012. Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA increased due to core growth and acquisitions closed since March 31, 2012 as well as cost containment efforts. The growth in Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA was partially offset by the increase in occupancy expense. As a result, Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 10.1% for the six months ended March 31, 2013 from 10.0% for the six months ended March 31, 2012.

New Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This earnings release includes a presentation of Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. Beginning with this earnings release for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company is reporting Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA in lieu of its prior presentation of Adjusted EBITDA. The difference between Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA1 as presented in this earnings release and the prior presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is that Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA includes additional adjustments to add back operating losses from new starts, to add back business optimization expenses, to include EBITDA of acquired businesses on a pro forma basis, and to exclude EBITDA of any disposed businesses. Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA is similar to the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” in the Company’s senior credit agreement, except that it does not include an adjustment for the difference between the cash basis and accrual basis of professional and general liability, or PL/GL, charges.

 

1  Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense and interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, exclusion of discontinued operations, further adjusted to add back certain non-cash charges, fees under the management agreement with the Company’s equity sponsor, proceeds of business insurance, transaction bonuses, certain expenses incurred under indemnification or refunding provisions for acquisitions, severance costs and relocation costs and deductions attributable to minority interests, non-cash compensation expense, income tax credits to the extent not netted, non-cash income and interest income and gains on interest rate hedges, unusual or non-recurring income or gains, unusual or non-recurring losses, operating losses from new starts, business optimization expenses, and further adjusted for certain other items including EBITDA of acquired businesses on a pro forma basis and EBITDA of sold businesses.


This earnings release also includes a presentation of Adjusted EBITDA Margin, another non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined as (i) Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA, less the pro forma portion of EBITDA relating to acquired businesses, divided by (ii) consolidated revenue, less revenue related to unprofitable new starts. These adjustments are made to better reflect the performance of the Company’s core business and acquired companies, excluding new starts that are unprofitable.

Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are presented because they are important measures used by management to assess financial performance, and management believes they provide a more transparent view of the Company’s operating performance and operating trends. The Company’s business strategy has been to pursue growth primarily through acquisitions and new program starts and, more recently, to improve margin. As part of this strategy, in recent periods our spending on new starts has increased substantially. As a result, we believe the Company’s progress on our goals will be more transparent to investors with the new presentation. We also believe the new presentation is more useful to investors in assessing financial performance because the new non-GAAP measures are similar to the metrics used by investors and other interested parties when comparing companies in our industry that have different capital structures, debt levels and/or tax rates. Furthermore, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA more closely correlates to the EBITDA measure used in our senior credit agreement. The Company intends to present Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin going forward, in lieu of its prior presentation of Adjusted EBITDA.

Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to net income or cash flows from operations, as determined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. While Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are frequently used as measures of financial performance and the ability to meet debt service requirements, they are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the methods of calculation. Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin should be reviewed in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements filed with the SEC.
