Providence Service Corporation Reports 2013 Results

 

2013 Highlights:

 

Net income rose to $19.4 million

 

Diluted EPS increased to $1.41

 

Adjusted EBITDA increased 27% to $55.3 million

 

Net cash provided by operations totaled $55.2 million

 

TUCSON, ARIZONA – March 12, 2014 -- The Providence Service Corporation (Nasdaq: PRSC) today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2013.

 

Fourth Quarter 2013 Results

For the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company reported revenue of $276.8 million, a decrease of 3% from $286.5 million in the comparable period of 2012. Revenue from Providence’s Non-emergency Transportation (NET) services segment decreased 7% to $187.2 million in the fourth quarter from $200.8 million in the prior year period. The decrease was due primarily to the transition of the Connecticut contract from “at risk” to “administrative services only”, and the voluntary termination of the Wisconsin contracts effective July 31, 2013. This decrease was partially offset by increased revenue related to membership growth in the New York City administrative contracts. Revenue from the Human Services segment increased 5% to $89.6 million from $85.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, primarily related to the impact of a new workforce development contract in Wisconsin and a new foster care contract in Texas.

 

Net income increased 17% to $3.4 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to net income of $2.9 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, in the prior year period. The fourth quarters of 2013 and 2012 each included expenses of approximately $1.3 million (net of benefit of forfeiture of stock based compensation) related to the separation of certain former executive officers. The Company’s effective tax rate declined in the fourth quarter of 2013 to 25.8%. The decrease in the tax rate was primarily related to the favorable tax treatment of certain equity compensation expenses in 2013. EBITDA (non-GAAP) for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $9.8 million compared to $12.0 million in the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $11.1 million compared to $13.3 million in the same period last year. A reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is presented below.

 

The Company had approximately 15.8 million individuals eligible to receive services under its NET Services contracts at December 31, 2013, an increase of 5% from approximately 15.1 million at December 31, 2012. Providence’s direct Human Service client census at December 31, 2013 was approximately 56,300, up 9% from 51,600 at December 31, 2012.

 

Full-Year 2013 Results

For the full year of 2013, the Company reported revenue of $1,122.7 million, an increase of 2% from $1,105.9 million in 2012. Revenue from Providence’s NET Services segment grew 3% to $770.2 million in 2013 from $750.7 million in the prior year, primarily due to contracts that began or were expanded in 2012 and 2013 and favorable rate adjustments. This increase was partially offset by the transition of the Connecticut contract from “at risk” to “administrative services only”, and the voluntary termination of the Wisconsin contracts effective July 31, 2013. Revenue from the Human Services segment decreased 1% to $352.4 million in 2013 from $355.2 million in 2012, primarily due to the termination of and changes to certain management service agreements, 2012 contract terminations related to the workforce development business in Canada, and the expiration of contracts related to Providence’s home based educational tutoring. This decrease was partially offset by revenue growth related to new contracts awarded in 2013.

Net income was $19.4 million, or $1.41 per diluted share, in 2013, a 129% and 120% increase, respectively, from $8.5 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, in 2012. EBITDA (non-GAAP) for 2013 was $53.0 million, a 35% increase from $39.2 million last year. Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) for 2013 was $55.3 million, an increase of 27% from $43.6 million last year. A reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is presented below.

 

During 2013, the Company generated a total of $55.2 million in cash from operations.  At December 31, 2013, the Company had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $99.0 million as well as approximately $142.3 million available for borrowing under the 2013 amended and restated senior secured credit facility.  Long-term obligations at December 31, 2013 were $123.5 million.

 

“We finished 2013 with favorable financial results,” said Warren Rustand, Chief Executive Officer. “Our NET Services segment benefitted from 2012 start-up efforts, expanded business, negotiated rate adjustments and the exit from some of its less profitable markets. However, the NET Services segment margins in the fourth quarter were negatively impacted by a revenue reserve for certain potential overpayments made to the Company that resulted from errors in the eligibility files provided by the payer.”

 

“Our Human Services segment continued to experience revenue growth in the fourth quarter due primarily to new workforce development and foster care contracts that began in 2013. This growth was offset by margin declines in the fourth quarter related to weather disruptions and the continued transition in Texas related to our new foster care contract. We expect the Texas foster care implementation to be completed by the end of the first quarter in 2014. In addition, the continued transition of certain states to the managed care environment has contributed to the margin pressure we have experienced in the Human Services segment in the past year.”

 

“During 2014 we will direct our attention to expanding our operating segments through both organic and acquisitive growth, with a specific focus on growing our home and community-based services and foster care services, while reducing our involvement in management fee service arrangements in our Human Services segment.”

 

“Overall, looking out to 2014 and beyond, we believe we are positioned to benefit from current health care trends, including the Affordable Care Act, increased Medicaid enrollment, the trend toward home and community-based care and the industry-wide focus on the reduction in health care delivery costs. In order to position ourselves to take full advantage of these opportunities, we have continued to strengthen our management team and further improve our operational efficiency. Additionally, our consistently positive cash flow, strong cash position and substantial borrowing capacity will continue to support our company-wide growth initiatives.”

About Providence

The Providence Service Corporation provides or manages the delivery of home and community based human services and NET management services to primarily government sponsored clients under programs such as welfare, juvenile justice, Medicaid and corrections.

Non-GAAP Presentation

In addition to the financial results prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) provided throughout this press release, the Company has provided EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP measurements. 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 press release. The non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by some other companies.
