Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On May 4, 2015, The Ensign Group, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release reporting the financial results of the Company for its second quarter ended June 30, 2015. A copy of the press release is attached to this Current Report as Exhibit 99.1.
The press release includes “non-GAAP financial measures.” Specifically, the press release refers to EBITDA, EBITDAR, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR. EBITDA, EBITDAR, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures. Regulation G, Conditions for Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures, and other provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, define and prescribe the conditions for use of certain non-GAAP financial information. EBITDA consists of net income before (a) interest expense, net, (b) provisions for income taxes and (c) depreciation and amortization. EBITDAR consists of net income before (a) interest expense, net, (b) provisions for income taxes, (c) depreciation and amortization and (d) rent-cost of services. Adjusted EBITDA consists of net income before (a) interest expense, net, (b) provisions for income taxes, (c) depreciation and amortization, (d) costs incurred for operations currently being constructed, (e) expenses incurred in connection with the Spin-Off, (f) stock-based compensation expense, (g) costs incurred related to new systems implementation, (h) breakup fee, net of costs, received in connection with a public auction in which we were the priority bidder, (i) costs incurred to recognize income tax credits which contributed to a decrease in effective tax rate, (j) costs incurred to acquire operations which are not capitalized, (k) operating results at urgent care centers, excluding depreciation, interest and income taxes and (l) results at three independent living operations which were transferred to Care Trust REIT as part of the Spin-Off transaction, excluding depreciation, interest and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDAR consists of net income before (a) interest expense, net, (b) provisions for income taxes, (c) depreciation and amortization, (d) rent-cost of services, (e) costs incurred for facilities currently being constructed, (f) expenses incurred in connection with the Spin-Off, (g) stock-based compensation expense, (h) costs incurred related to new systems implementation, (i) breakup fee, net of costs, received in connection with a public auction in which we were the priority bidder , (j) costs incurred to recognize income tax credits which contributed to a decrease in effective tax rate, (k) costs incurred to acquire operations which are not capitalized, (l) operating results at urgent care centers, excluding rent, depreciation, interest and income taxes and (m) results at three independent living operations which were transferred to Care Trust REIT as part of the Spin-Off transaction, excluding rent, depreciation, interest and income taxes. The Company believes disclosure of adjusted non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share has economic substance because the excluded expenses and income are infrequent in nature and are variable in nature, or do not represent current cash expenditures. A material limitation associated with the use of these measures as compared to the GAAP measures of net income and diluted earnings per share is that they may not be comparable with the calculation of net income and diluted earnings per share for other companies in the Company's industry. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. For further information regarding why the Company believes that this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors, the specific manner in which management uses this measure, and some of the limitations associated with the use of this measure, please refer to the Company's Report on Form 10-Q filed May 4, 2015 with the SEC. The Form 10-Q is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov or under the “Financial Information” link of the Investor Relations section on Ensign's website at http://www.ensigngroup.net.
