LifePoint Hospitals Reports First Quarter 2014 Results

First Quarter Revenue Exceeds $1 Billion, Up 8.2% Over Prior-Year Period

BRENTWOOD, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 25, 2014--LifePoint Hospitals, Inc. (NASDAQ: LPNT) today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014.

For the first quarter ended March 31, 2014, revenues from continuing operations were $1,007.2 million, up 8.2% from $931.1 million for the same period a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014, increased 6.2% to $145.8 million compared with $137.4 million for the same period a year ago. Income from continuing operations attributable to LifePoint Hospitals, Inc. stockholders for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014, increased 14.9% to $37.1 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, compared with $32.3 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago. The Company’s results of operations for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014, included the reversal of a previously established federal tax valuation allowance, which resulted in an increase to net income of $6.0 million, or $0.13 per diluted share.

In commenting on the results, William F. Carpenter III, chairman and chief executive of LifePoint Hospitals, said, “We had a good start to 2014, with over $1 billion in revenues driven by our disciplined growth strategy. Medicaid expansion and insurance exchange enrollment are each yielding participation rates at the high end of our reform estimates, and we are well positioned to capitalize on these trends moving forward. We are making progress on our previously announced acquisitions and are excited about additional opportunities in our pipeline. Our team has done an outstanding job of skillfully managing costs in a challenging volume environment. Throughout our hospitals, the implementation of quality initiatives has enabled us to enhance our patient care while delivering solid results.”

(1) Continuing operations information includes the results of our hospital support center, our same-hospital operations and our recent acquisitions completed in 2014 and 2013.

 

(2) Management and investors use equivalent admissions as a general measure of combined inpatient and outpatient volume. We compute equivalent admissions by multiplying admissions (inpatient volumes) by the outpatient factor (the sum of gross inpatient revenue and gross outpatient revenue and then dividing the resulting amount by gross inpatient revenue). The equivalent admissions computation “equates” outpatient revenue to the volume measure (admissions) used to measure inpatient volume resulting in a general measure of combined inpatient and outpatient volume.

 

(3) Same-hospital information includes the results of our hospital support center and the same 57 hospitals operated during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. Same-hospital information excludes the results of our recent acquisitions completed in 2014 and 2013 and our hospitals that have previously been disposed, with the exception of Scott Memorial Hospital, which we acquired effective January 1, 2013, through our joint venture with Norton Healthcare, Inc. and which is included in our same-hospital information.

UNAUDITED SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
Dollars in millions, except Diluted EPS amounts

Adjusted EBITDA is defined by the Company as earnings before depreciation and amortization; interest expense, net; debt transaction costs; provision for income taxes; income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes; and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. LifePoint’s management and Board of Directors use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the Company’s operating performance and as a measure of performance for incentive compensation purposes. LifePoint’s credit facilities use Adjusted EBITDA for certain financial covenants. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of performance used by some investors, equity analysts and others to make informed investment decisions. In addition, multiples of current or projected Adjusted EBITDA are used to estimate current or prospective enterprise value. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), 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 income, 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. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and is susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
