TEAM HEALTH HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Team Health Holdings, Inc. (the Company) its subsidiaries and its affiliates, including its affiliated medical groups, and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial reporting, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The consolidated balance sheet of the Company at December 31, 2015 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2015 audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC).
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain amounts for the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
Note 2. Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the form of accounting standards updates (ASUs) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which establishes a comprehensive revenue recognition standard for virtually all industries under U.S. GAAP. The standard is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that adoption of this new accounting standard may have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which will change how companies account for and present lease arrangements. The guidance requires companies to recognize leased assets and liabilities for both capital and operating leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein, and early adoption is permitted. Companies are required to adopt the guidance on a modified retrospective method. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that adoption of this new accounting standard may have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which requires companies to recognize the income tax effects of awards in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled (i.e., additional paid-in-capital pools will be eliminated). In addition, the new guidance changes the limit that companies are allowed to withhold for employees without triggering liability classification and allows companies to make a policy election to either recognize forfeitures as they occur or estimate them. The new guidance is  effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods, and early adoption is permitted. The required transition methods for each aspect of the new guidance varies between prospective, retrospective and modified retrospective. The Company has not yet determined which method of adoption it will select and is in the process of evaluating the impact that adoption of this new accounting standard may have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.


9


The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that could materially impact its consolidated financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued, but are not yet effective, that might have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company unless otherwise noted in prior updates or above.
Note 3. Acquisitions and Contingent Purchase Obligations
Acquisitions
During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company completed three acquisitions of emergency medicine businesses with operations in Rhode Island, Connecticut, California and Ohio for a total of $29.9 million, which expanded the Company's emergency medicine presence in those respective markets. The results of operations of the acquired businesses have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements beginning on the acquisition date. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effect of these acquisitions is not material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations individually or in the aggregate.

The purchase price for these acquisitions was allocated, based on management’s estimates, in accordance with ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations” (ASC 805). The Company’s purchase price allocation for business combinations completed during recent periods is preliminary and may be subject to revision as additional information about the fair value of acquired working capital becomes available. Additional information, which existed as of the acquisition date but at that time was unknown to the Company, may become known to the Company during the remainder of the measurement period, a period not to exceed 12 months from the acquisition date. The purchase price for these acquisitions completed during the six months ended June 30, 2016 was allocated as shown in the table below (in thousands):

IPC Healthcare, Inc. (IPC) Acquisition
On November 23, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of IPC in a cash transaction. At closing, the Company paid approximately $1.60 billion in cash to the former owners of IPC in exchange for all of the outstanding equity interests of IPC.
The accounting for the acquisition of IPC will be completed within the timeframe prescribed by the provisions of ASC 805. The Company continues to obtain information relative to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Acquired assets and assumed liabilities include, but are not limited to, accounts receivable, other intangible assets, current and noncurrent taxes payable, deferred taxes, contingent purchase liabilities, and other accrued liabilities. The valuations are based on appraisal reports or other appropriate valuation techniques to determine the fair value of the assets acquired or liabilities assumed.
During 2016, factors became known that resulted in changes to the purchase price allocation of assets and liabilities, existing at the date of the IPC transaction. The estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, specifically accounts receivable, current and noncurrent taxes payable, deferred taxes, contingent purchase liability and other intangible assets, may be subject to change as additional information is received. The purchase price allocation adjustments for this acquisition are summarized as follows (in thousands):

Subsequent Acquisition
In July 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of the operations of an anesthesiology business located in Florida. This acquisition will add approximately 18,000 patient visits annually to the Company's existing anesthesia operations. The Company is still in the process of completing the purchase price allocation for this acquisition.
Contingent Purchase Obligations
In accordance with ASC 805, the Company records its contingent consideration as a component of the opening balance sheet unless there is a continuing employment provision. Contingent consideration with a continuing employment provision is recognized ratably over the defined performance period as compensation expense which is included as a component of general and administrative expense (and parenthetically disclosed with other acquisition-related compensation expense) in the results of the Company’s operations. The payment of contingent purchase obligations is included as a component of financing, unless there is a continuing employment provision, in which case it is included as a component of operating cash flows.
As of June 30, 2016, the Company estimates it may have to pay $101.1 million in future contingent payments for acquisitions made prior to June 30, 2016, based upon the current projected performance of the acquired operations of which $69.2 million is recorded as a liability in other liabilities and other non-current liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The remaining estimated liability of $31.9 million will be recorded as contingent purchase compensation expense over the remaining performance periods. The current estimate of future contingent payments could increase or decrease depending upon the actual performance of the acquisition over the respective performance periods. These payments will be made should the acquired operations achieve the financial targets or certain contract terms as agreed to in the respective acquisition agreements, including the requirements for continuing employment. When measured on a recurring basis, this liability is considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs to measure fair value.
The contingent purchase and other acquisition compensation expense recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016 was $15.8 million and $18.9 million, respectively.

Note 4. Fair Value Measurements
The Company applies the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” (ASC Topic 820), in determining the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities. This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements.
ASC Topic 820 prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into the following hierarchy:
 
Level 1
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
 
 
Level 2
Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable;
 
 
Level 3
Unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

The following table provides information on those assets and liabilities the Company currently measures at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2016 (in thousands):

The Company’s insurance subsidiaries' and other investments are valued using market prices on active markets (Level 1) and less active markets (Level 2), in addition to using alternative information when market data is not available (Level 3). Level 1 investment valuations are obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets. Level 2 investment valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for comparable investments or identical investments in less active markets. The fair values of the Company’s supplemental employee retirement investments are based on quoted prices. Level 3 investment valuations require significant management judgment and are based on transaction price, company performance, and market conditions. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 there were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 or 3. See Note 5 for more information regarding the Company’s investments.
The Company classified its municipal bonds, mutual funds, and corporate bonds within Level 2 because these securities were valued based on quoted prices in markets that are less active, broker or dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency.

The Company classified its private investments within Level 3 because active market pricing is not readily available and, as such, the Company uses net asset values as an estimate of fair value as a practical expedient. The valuation of non-public private equity investments requires significant management judgment due to the absence of observable quoted market prices, inherent lack of liquidity, and the long-term nature of such assets. These investments are valued initially based upon transaction price. In determining valuation adjustments resulting from the investment review process, emphasis is placed on current company performance and market conditions.
In addition to the preceding disclosures prescribed by the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 820, ASC Topic 825 “Financial Instruments” requires the disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments. The Company’s short term financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, short term investments, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. The carrying value of the short term financial instruments approximates the fair value due to their short term nature. These financial instruments have no stated maturities or the financial instruments have short term maturities that approximate market.
The fair value of the Company's debt is estimated using quoted market prices when available. When quoted market prices are not available, fair value is estimated based on current market interest rates for debt with similar maturities (Level 2). At June 30, 2016, the estimated fair value of the Company’s outstanding debt was $2.47 billion compared to a carrying value of $2.42 billion.
Note 5. Investments

Investments are primarily comprised of securities held by the Company and its captive insurance subsidiaries in connection with its participant directed supplemental employee retirement plan. Investments held by the Company and its captive insurance subsidiaries are classified as available-for-sale securities. The unrealized gains or losses of investments held by the Company and its captive insurance subsidiaries are included in accumulated other comprehensive earnings as a separate component of shareholders’ equity, unless the decline in value is deemed to be other-than-temporary and the Company does not have the intent and ability to hold such securities until their full cost can be recovered, in which case such securities are written down to fair value and the loss is charged to current period earnings.

13


The investments held by the Company in connection with its participant directed supplemental employee retirement plan are classified as trading securities; therefore, changes in fair value associated with these investments are recognized as a component of earnings.

(a) Unrealized loss is less than $1,000.

The unrealized losses resulted from changes in market interest rates, not from changes in the probability of contractual cash flows. Because the Company has the ability and intent to hold the investments until a recovery of carrying value and full collection of the amounts due according to the contractual terms of the investments is expected, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2016.
During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded a gain of approximately $0.4 million on the sale of specifically identified investments.
As of December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2016, the investments related to the participant directed supplemental employee retirement plan totaled $45.9 million and $52.2 million, respectively, and are included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The net trading gains on those investments for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2016 that were still held by the Company as of June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2016 are as follows (in thousands):

Note 6. Net Revenues
Net revenues consists of fee for service revenue, contract revenue and other revenue. The Company’s net revenues are principally derived from the provision of healthcare staffing services to patients within healthcare facilities and is recorded in the period the services are rendered. Under the fee for service arrangements, the Company bills patients for services provided and receives payment from patients or their third-party payors. Fee for service revenue reflects gross fee for service charges less contractual allowances and policy discounts, where applicable. Contractual adjustments represent the Company’s estimate of discounts and other adjustments to be recognized from gross fee for service charges under contractual payment arrangements, primarily with commercial, managed care and governmental payment plans such as Medicare and Medicaid when the Company’s providers participate in such plans. Contractual adjustments are not reflected in self-pay fee for service revenue. Contract revenue represents revenue generated under contracts in which the Company provides physician and other healthcare staffing and administrative services in return for a contractually negotiated fee. Contract revenue consists primarily of billings based on hours of healthcare staffing provided at agreed-to hourly rates, monthly contractual rates, or certain operational or financial metrics. Revenue in such cases is recognized as the hours are worked by the Company’s affiliated staff and contractors or as metrics are realized. Other revenue consists primarily of revenue from management and billing services provided to outside parties. Revenue is recognized for such services pursuant to the terms of the contracts with customers. The Company also records a provision for uncollectible accounts based primarily on historical collection experience to record accounts receivables at the estimated amounts expected to be collected.

The Company employs several methodologies for determining its allowance for uncollectibles depending on the nature of the net revenues before provision for uncollectibles recognized. The Company initially determines gross revenue for its fee for service patient visits based upon established fee schedule prices. Such gross revenue is reduced for estimated contractual allowances for those patient visits covered by contractual insurance arrangements to result in estimated net revenues before provision for uncollectibles. Net revenues before provision for uncollectibles is then reduced for management’s estimate of uncollectible amounts. Fee for service net revenues represents estimated cash to be collected from such patient visits and is net of management’s estimate of account balances estimated to be uncollectible. The provision for uncollectible fee for service patient visits is based on historical experience resulting from approximately twenty-three million fee for service patient visits and procedures over the last twelve months. The significant volume of patient visits and the terms of thousands of commercial and managed care contracts and the various reimbursement policies relating to governmental healthcare programs do not make it feasible to evaluate fee for service accounts receivable on a specific account basis. Fee for service accounts receivable collection estimates are reviewed on a quarterly basis for each fee for service contract by period of accounts receivable origination. Such reviews include the use of historical cash collection percentages by contract adjusted for the lapse of time since the date of the patient visit. In addition, when actual collection percentages differ from expected results, on a contract by contract basis, supplemental detailed reviews of the outstanding accounts receivable balances may be performed by the Company’s billing operations to determine whether there are facts and circumstances existing that may cause a different conclusion as to the estimate of the collectibility of that contract’s accounts receivable from the estimate resulting from using the historical collection experience. Contract-related net revenues are billed based on the terms of the contract at amounts expected to be collected. Such billings are typically submitted on a monthly basis and aged trial balances are prepared. Allowances for estimated uncollectible amounts related to such contract billings are made based upon periodic reviews of specific accounts and invoices once it is concluded that such amounts are not likely to be collected. Approximately 98% of the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts is related to receivables for fee for service patient visits. The principal exposure for uncollectible fee for service visits is centered in self-pay patients and, to a lesser extent, for co-payments and deductibles from patients with insurance. While the Company does not specifically allocate the allowance for doubtful accounts to individual accounts or specific payor classifications, the portion of the allowance, excluding IPC, associated with fee for service charges as of June 30, 2016 was equal to approximately 93% of outstanding self-pay fee for service patient accounts. The methodologies employed to compute allowances for doubtful accounts were unchanged between 2015 and 2016.

The Company's senior secured credit facilities (Credit Facility) consist of a $600.0 million tranche A term loan facility (Tranche A Term Loan Facility), a $1.31 billion tranche B term loan facility (Tranche B Term Loan Facility) and a $650.0 million revolving credit facility (Revolving Credit Facility). The Tranche A Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility have a maturity date of October 2, 2019. The Tranche B Term Loan Facility has a maturity date of November 23, 2022. The maturity dates under the Credit Facility are subject to extension with lender consent according to the terms of the senior credit agreement (the Senior Credit Agreement).
The interest rate on any outstanding Revolving Credit Facility borrowings and Tranche A Term Loan Facility borrowings, and the commitment fee applicable to undrawn revolving commitments, is priced off a grid based upon the Company’s first lien net leverage ratio and is currently LIBOR + 2.00% in the case of revolving credit borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and Tranche A Term Loan Facility and 0.35% in the case of unused revolving commitments. The weighted average interest rate for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was 2.81% for amounts outstanding under the Tranche A Term Loan Facility.
On June 2, 2016, the Company amended its Senior Credit Agreement (the Amendment) to reduce the interest rate applicable to any outstanding Tranche B Term Loans from LIBOR plus 3.75% to LIBOR plus 3.00%. The Company effected this reduction in pricing through a refinancing of the existing Tranche B Term Loan Facility. The Amendment also requires the Company to pay a 1.0% prepayment penalty on any amount prepaid if the Tranche B Term Loan Facility is repriced in order to effect a reduction in pricing prior to December 2, 2016. Other significant terms and conditions of the Senior Credit Agreement, including the maturity date of November 23, 2022 and the LIBOR floor of 0.75%, did not change under the amendment.
The Company had $7.5 million borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2016, and the Company had $6.8 million of standby letters of credit outstanding against the Revolving Credit Facility commitment.
The Credit Facility agreement contains both affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, sell material assets, retire, redeem or otherwise reacquire its capital stock, acquire the capital stock or assets of another business and pay dividends, and requires the Company to comply with a maximum total leverage ratio, tested quarterly. At June 30, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all of its covenants under the senior credit facility agreement. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s U. S. subsidiaries’ assets.
Senior Notes and Indenture
On November 23, 2015, Team Health, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the Issuer), completed the private placement of $545.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.25% Senior Notes due 2023 (the Notes). The Notes are senior unsecured obligations and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and, subject to certain exceptions, each of its existing and future material domestic wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries, referred to, collectively, as “Guarantors.”
The Notes bear interest at 7.25% per annum and mature on December 15, 2023. Interest is payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2016, to holders of record at the close of business on June 1 or December 1, as the case may be, immediately preceding each such interest payment date.
Prior to December 15, 2018, the Issuer may redeem some or all of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date, if any, plus

18


the “make-whole” premium set forth in the indenture. On and after December 15, 2018, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices set forth in the indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, prior to December 15, 2018, the Company may also redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 107.25% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, in each case, using an amount not to exceed the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.
The indenture governing the Notes due 2023 contains restrictive covenants that limit among other things, the ability of us and our restricted subsidiaries to incur or guarantee additional debt or issue disqualified stock or certain preferred stock; pay dividends and make other distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, capital stock; make certain investments; incur certain liens; enter into certain transactions with affiliates; merge or consolidate; enter into agreements that restrict the ability of certain restricted subsidiaries to make dividends or other payments to us or each of our existing and future material domestic wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries, referred to, collectively, as “Guarantors”; designate restricted subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries; and transfer or sell certain assets. These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions. The Indenture also contains customary events of default which would permit the holders of the Notes to declare those Notes to be immediately due and payable if not cured within applicable grace periods, including the failure to make timely payments on the Notes or other material indebtedness, the failure to satisfy covenants and specified events of bankruptcy and insolvency.

The Company provides for its estimated professional liability losses through a combination of self-insurance and commercial insurance programs. Losses under commercial insurance programs in excess of the limit of coverage remain as a

19


self-insured obligation of the Company. A portion of the professional liability loss risks that have been provided for through self-insurance (claims-made basis) are transferred to and funded into captive insurance companies. The accounts of the captive insurance companies are fully consolidated with those of the other operations of the Company in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The self-insurance components of our risk management program include reserves for future claims incurred but not reported (IBNR). As of December 31, 2015, of the $245.1 million of estimated losses under self-insured programs, approximately $157.4 million represented an estimate of IBNR claims and expenses and additional loss development, with the remaining $87.7 million representing specific case reserves. Of the specific case reserves as of December 31, 2015, $3.0 million represented case reserves that had settled but not yet funded, and $84.7 million reflected unsettled case reserves.
As of June 30, 2016, of the $257.8 million of estimated losses under self-insurance programs, approximately $154.2 million represented an estimate of IBNR claims and expenses and additional loss development, with the remaining $103.6 million representing specific case reserves. Of the specific case reserves as of June 30, 2016, $2.5 million represented case reserves that had been settled but not yet funded, and $101.1 million reflected unsettled case reserves.
The Company’s provisions for losses under its self-insurance components are estimated using the results of periodic actuarial studies. Such actuarial studies include numerous underlying estimates and assumptions, including assumptions as to future claim losses, the severity and frequency of such projected losses, loss development factors and others. The Company’s provisions for losses under its self-insured components are subject to subsequent adjustment should future actuarial projected results for such periods indicate projected losses greater or less than previously projected.
During the first quarter of 2016, the Company reserved $14.3 million to settle two separate professional liability claims originating from prior years in excess of coverage limits, which was fully funded as of June 30, 2016. See Note 10 for more information regarding these settlements.
The Company’s most recent actuarial valuation was completed in April 2016. Based on the results of the actuarial study completed in April 2016, management determined no additional change was necessary in the consolidated reserves for professional liability losses during the first quarter of 2016 related to prior year loss estimates. The discount rate on professional liability reserves (including IPC as noted below) was 0.9% at June 30, 2016 compared to 1.6% at December 31, 2015.
IPC Professional Liability Reserves
IPC is fully insured on a claims-made basis up to policy limits through a third party malpractice insurance policy, which ends December 31 of each year. The Company has established reserves for this segment for claims incurred and reported and IBNR during the policy period. These reserves of $25.4 million as of June 30, 2016 and the timing of payment of such amounts are estimated based upon actuarial loss projections, which are updated semi-annually, and discounted using the current weighted average Treasury rate over a 10 year period.
Note 10. Contingencies
Litigation
The Company is currently a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The legal proceedings the Company is involved in from time to time include lawsuits, claims, audits and investigations, including those arising out of services provided, personal injury claims, professional liability claims, the Company's billing, collection and marketing practices, employment disputes and contractual claims, and seek monetary and other relief, including statutory damages and penalties. While the Company currently believes that the ultimate outcome of such proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or overall trends in results of operations, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the Company's net earnings in the period in which the ruling occurs. The estimate of the potential impact from such legal proceedings on the Company's financial position or overall results of operations could change in the future.
On August 14, 2015, prior to the closing of the IPC Transaction, a purported shareholder of IPC filed a complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery captioned Smukler v. IPC Healthcare, Inc., et al. (Case No. 11392-CB), on behalf of a purported class of  IPC shareholders. The lawsuit names as defendants IPC, each of its directors at the time the merger with the Company was announced (the Individual Defendants), the Company, and Intrepid Merger Sub, Inc. (Sub). The August 14, 2015 complaint alleged that the Individual Defendants breached their fiduciary duties by, among other things, failing to take appropriate steps

20


to maximize the value of IPC to its shareholders, failing to value IPC properly, and taking steps to avoid competitive bidding by alternate potential acquirers. The complaint also alleged that IPC, the Company, and Sub aided and abetted those alleged breaches of fiduciary duties by the Individual Defendants. The complaint sought, among other things, certification of the action as a class action; injunctive relief enjoining the merger; an accounting of all damages purportedly suffered by the plaintiff and the class (including rescissory damages in favor of the plaintiff and the class); and the fees and costs associated with the litigation. On August 18, 2015, an additional lawsuit, Crescente v. Singer, et al. (Case No. 11405-CB), was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery, asserting similar claims and allegations to those in the Smukler lawsuit and seeking similar relief on behalf of the same putative class.
Additionally, on August 19, 2015, prior to the closing of the IPC Transaction, a lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court for the State of California in Los Angeles County, Khemthong v. IPC Healthcare Networks, Inc., et al. (No. BC 591953). The lawsuit asserted similar claims and allegations to those in the Smukler lawsuit and sought similar relief on behalf of the same putative class. On August 27, 2015, the plaintiff filed a request for voluntary dismissal of the suit without prejudice, and on August 28, 2015, the court entered an order granting that request.
 Pursuant to a September 11, 2015 order from the Delaware Court of Chancery (the Consolidation Order), the Smukler and Crescente actions were consolidated, and all further litigation relating to or arising out of the Company’s merger with IPC were directed to be consolidated with such actions under the caption In re IPC Healthcare, Inc. Stockholders Litigation (Case No. 11392-CB) (the Consolidated Action).  On September 17, 2015, an action captioned Spencer v. IPC Healthcare, Inc. (Case. No. 11516-CB) was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery. Under the Consolidation Order, such action is required to be consolidated with the previously-filed actions. On September 18, 2015, a verified consolidated class action complaint was filed in the Consolidated Action (the Consolidated Complaint).  The Consolidated Complaint alleges substantially the same breaches of fiduciary duty as the August 14, 2015 complaint in the Smukler action, and additionally alleges that the Individual Defendants breached their duty of disclosure by failing to disclose to IPC shareholders all material information necessary for them to evaluate the merger. On October 2, 2015, the defendants in the Consolidated Action moved to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint.
On November 6, 2015, the Company and the other defendants in the Consolidated Action entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the plaintiffs in the Consolidated Action providing for the settlement and the release of all claims that were or could have been brought against the Company and the other defendants in the Consolidated Action based upon a duty arising under Delaware law to disclose or not omit material information in connection with the IPC Transaction, upon entry of a final order by the Delaware Court of Chancery approving the settlement. The Memorandum of Understanding contemplated that, subject to completion of certain confirmatory discovery by counsel to the plaintiffs, the parties would enter into a stipulation of settlement.
Following a series of rulings by the Court of Chancery in other lawsuits challenging mergers, the Company and the other defendants in the Consolidated Action agreed with the plaintiffs that the Memorandum of Understanding would be superseded and replaced by the voluntary dismissal of the Consolidated Action on the basis that it was mooted by the disclosures contained in the Current Report on the Form 8-K that the Company filed with the SEC on November 6, 2015. On April 12, 2016, the Court entered an order granting plaintiffs’ request to voluntarily dismiss the Consolidated Action as moot and setting a briefing schedule for plaintiffs to make an application to the Court for the payment of their attorneys’ fees and expenses. Plaintiffs filed their application for an award of fees and expenses, in the total amount of $350,000 on May 19, 2016. The Company filed its opposition to such application on June 30, 2016 and on July 14, 2016, plaintiffs filed their reply papers.
On November 13, 2015 the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin ordered the unsealing and service of a qui tam complaint, filed on March 27, 2014, and captioned United States of America, ex rel. John Mamalakis, M.D., the States of California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia v. Anesthetix Management, LLC, d/b/a Anesthetix of TeamHealth, Team Health Holdings, Inc., Sonya Pease, M.D., John Ippolito, M.D., Edward Lee, M.D., Howard Stroup, M.D., Sammy Dean, M.D., and Jacqueline Peters, M.D. (Defendents) (Case No. 2:14cv00349-CNC). On June 11, 2014, the United States gave notice of its intention, and the intention of all of the other states and the District of Columbia, not to intervene in the lawsuit. On March 10, 2016, Team Health Holdings, Inc. was served with the complaint. The complaint alleges that the defendants submitted false claims to federal and state health insurance programs for “medical direction” of anesthesia services (rather than “medical supervision”) that were provided at Wheaton Franciscan Hospital-All Saints Hospital (All Saints) in Racine, Wisconsin, as well as numerous other non-identified hospitals and clinics from 2010 to the present. Plaintiff also claims retaliatory termination, alleging that he was terminated from his employment for voicing his concerns about the anesthesia services. Plaintiff seeks recovery of all Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement that the defendants received as a result of the allegedly false claims and treble damages under the False Claims Act, as well as a civil penalty for each such false Medicare and Medicaid claim. On April 15, 2016, plaintiff amended his complaint, removing all of the individual defendants as well as the claims filed on behalf of Delaware, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Maryland, Nevada, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas. On May 2, 2016, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the entirety of the complaint pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 9(b) and 12(b)(6), or in the alternative, to compel arbitration of the retaliatory

21


discharge claim. On July 1, 2016, Relator filed his opposition to the motion. Defendants filed their reply in support of the motion on July 18, 2016. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the allegations in this matter. The Company does not believe that the final outcome of this matter will be material.
In August 2011, a medical malpractice suit was filed against three of the Company’s affiliates and one of its physicians along with other co-defendants, including a hospital in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Camden County, alleging a failure to diagnose sepsis in 2010. In July 2012, a medical malpractice suit was filed in the Court of Common Pleas, Luzerne, Pennsylvania against one Company affiliate and one of its physicians and a co-defendant hospital, alleging a failure to diagnose a stroke in 2010. In March 2016, both cases resulted in settlements in excess of insurance coverage limits where the Company was required to fund a total of $14.3 million, which represents our contribution to the overall settlements that includes the other defendants. As of June 30, 2016, these settlements have been fully funded.
It is not possible to predict when the above matters may be resolved, the time or resources that the Company will need to devote to the matters, or what impact, if any, the outcome of the matters might have on the Company's business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Healthcare Regulatory Matters
Laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs are complex and subject to interpretation. Compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future governmental review and interpretation as well as significant regulatory action. From time to time, governmental regulatory agencies will conduct inquiries and audits of the Company’s practices. It is the Company’s current practice and future intent to cooperate fully with such inquiries.
In addition to laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs, there are a number of federal and state laws and regulations governing such matters as the corporate practice of medicine and fee splitting arrangements, anti-kickback statutes, physician self-referral laws, false or fraudulent claims filing and patient privacy requirements. The failure to comply with any of such laws or regulations could have an adverse impact on the Company's operations and financial results. It is management’s belief that the Company is in substantial compliance in all material respects with such laws and regulations.
Government Claim
On June 7, 2010, the Company's subsidiary, IPC, received a civil investigative demand (CID) issued by the Department of Justice (DOJ), U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois. The CID requested information concerning claims that IPC had submitted to Medicare and Medicaid. The CID covered the period from January 1, 2003, through June 4, 2010, and requested production of a range of documents relating to IPC’s Medicare and Medicaid participation, physician arrangements, operations, billings and compliance programs. IPC produced responsive documents and was in contact with representatives of the DOJ who informed IPC that the inquiry related to a qui tam whistleblower action filed under court seal in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (Chicago). The case is captioned United States ex rel. Oughatiyan v. IPC The Hospitalist Company, Inc. (Civ. No. 09-C-5418). IPC also was informed that several state attorneys general were examining its Medicaid claims in coordination with the DOJ.
On December 5, 2013, the U.S. District Court partially lifted the seal on the civil False Claims Act case related to this investigation. The unsealed portions of the Court docket at that time included the whistleblower’s Complaint which contains allegations of improper billing to Medicare and Medicaid, a Notice of Election to Intervene filed by the federal government and a Notice of Election to Decline Intervention filed by the State of Illinois and 12 other states that participated in the investigation. On June 16, 2014, the federal government filed its Complaint in Intervention against IPC and several of its subsidiaries in the U.S. District Court. The Complaint in Intervention contains allegations of improper billing to Medicare, Medicaid and other federal healthcare programs from January 1, 2003 to the present, seeks to recover treble damages and civil penalties under the civil False Claims Act, and seeks to recover damages under common law theories of payment by mistake and unjust enrichment. On August 13, 2014, the Company's subsidiary, IPC and the IPC subsidiary defendants filed a joint motion to dismiss the Complaint in Intervention or, in the alternative, to sever claims against the defendants. The federal government filed its response on September 18, 2014, to which the defendants replied on September 25, 2014. The court’s decision, which was filed on February 17, 2015, granted the motion to dismiss in part and denied it in part. The Court’s Opinion and Order dismissed the 29 IPC subsidiary and affiliate defendants without prejudice, but the Court denied the request to dismiss IPC Healthcare, Inc., which remains the sole defendant in the lawsuit. The parties are engaged in negotiations to attempt to resolve the matter, but if a reasonable settlement cannot be reached, the Company intends to continue vigorously contesting the case.
Florida Medicaid Reimbursement Suspension
The Company's subsidiary, IPC, received notice on August 7, 2015 that the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) temporarily suspended Medicaid fee-for-service and Medicaid managed care payments to IPC’s Florida affiliate, InPatient Consultants of Florida, Inc. d/b/a IPC of Florida, because IPC of Florida is “under investigation by a state or federal agency.” Since receiving this notice, and based on its failure to contain the required specificity under the

22


applicable federal regulation, IPC has sought additional information from AHCA regarding the basis of the payment suspension, including through repeated discussions with the responsible AHCA officials; by submitting a request for documents through the Florida Public Records Law (PRL) on August 27, 2015; and by filing a petition for formal administrative review on September 4, 2015.
Following these actions, IPC received a revised letter on September 9, 2015 in which AHCA clarified that the investigation causing the payment suspension concerns IPC of Florida’s alleged “up-coding” and “billing for the highest level of inpatient hospital care, which may not be medically necessary.” Since receipt of this revised notice, which still failed to contain the required specificity, IPC has continued to engage with AHCA to obtain information that would enable IPC to rebut the basis for the payment suspension. These efforts have included submitting a second PRL request on September 18, 2015 and submitting a letter to AHCA providing information to support a determination by AHCA that it has “good cause” to discontinue the payment suspension, consistent with the applicable federal regulation. On October 23, 2015, IPC received an order dismissing IPC’s petition for formal administrative review on the grounds that there is no final agency action and because the suspension is a contract action not appropriate for an administrative hearing. The Company is continuing its discussions with AHCA officials in an effort to resolve this matter.
It is not possible to predict when any of the above matters may be resolved, the time or resources that the Company will need to devote to the matters, or what impact, if any, the outcome of any of the matters might have on the Company's business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Note 11. Equity-based Compensation
Equity Incentive Plans
In May 2013, the Company's shareholders approved the Team Health Holdings, Inc. Amended and Restated 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the Stock Plan) that amended the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan.
In connection with the acquisition of IPC, the IPC replacement awards were issued based on a conversion ratio of the IPC common share value to Team Health weighted average share price immediately prior to the closing. The Company assumed and restated the Amended and Restated Team Health Holdings, Inc. 1997 Equity Participation Plan, the Amended and Restated 2002 Equity Participation Plan of Team Health Holdings, Inc., the Amended and Restated Team Health Holdings, Inc. 2007 Equity Participation Plan, and the Amended and Restated Team Health Holdings, Inc. 2012 Equity Participation Plan (collectively the IPC Plans) for the sole purpose of completing the exchange of equity awards. There will be no further issuances under these plans.
Purpose. The purpose of the Stock Plan is to aid in recruiting and retaining key employees, directors, consultants, and other service providers of outstanding ability and to motivate those employees, directors, consultants, and other service providers to exert their best efforts on behalf of the Company and its affiliates by providing incentives through the granting of options, stock appreciation rights and other stock-based awards.
Shares Subject to the Plan. The Stock Plan provides that the total number of shares of common stock that may be issued is 15,100,000, of which approximately 1,502,000 are available to grant as of June 30, 2016. Shares of the Company’s common stock covered by awards that terminate or lapse without the payment of consideration may be granted again under the Stock Plan.

Intrinsic value is the amount by which the stock price as of June 30, 2016 exceeds the exercise price of the options. The Company granted approximately 301,000 options during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The fair value of the options granted in 2016 was based on the grant date fair value as calculated by the Black-Scholes option pricing formula with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 1.5%, implied volatility of 35.5% and an expected life of the options of 5 years. The expected life is the mid-point between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term. The Company uses this simplified method, as described in ASC 718, due to changes in option grant contractual terms causing insufficient historical exercise data. The Company will continue to evaluate the use of the simplified method as historical exercise data becomes more sufficient. The estimated fair value of options granted during 2016 was $14.26. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had approximately $13.5 million of unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures related to unvested options, which will be recognized over the remaining requisite service period.
Restricted awards are grants of restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance stock units that are not vested (Restricted Awards). The Company granted approximately 547,000 shares of Restricted Awards in 2016. The Company had $36.3 million of expense remaining to be recognized over the requisite service period for Restricted Awards at June 30, 2016. The Restricted Awards generally vest annually over a three to four-year period from the initial grant date for the grants made to the independent board members and management. The performance stock units vest at the end of three years from the initial grant date. The actual number of performance stock units to be awarded will be based on the achievement of certain predetermined financial and operational performance targets during the initial two year period starting in the year of the grant. The related expense will be tracked and adjusted as appropriate to reflect the actual shares issued.

Stock Purchase Plans
In May 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors (the Board) adopted the 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) and the 2010 Nonqualified Stock Purchase Plan (NQSPP).
The ESPP provides for the issuance of up to 600,000 shares to the Company’s employees. All eligible employees are granted identical rights to purchase common stock in each Board authorized offering under the ESPP. Rights granted pursuant to any offering under the ESPP terminate immediately upon cessation of an employee’s employment for any reason. In general, an employee may reduce his or her contribution or withdraw from participation in an offering at any time during the purchase period for such offering. Employees receive a 5% discount on shares purchased under the ESPP. Rights granted under the plan are not transferable and may be exercised only by the person to whom such rights are granted. Offerings occur every six months in April and October. As of June 30, 2016, contributions under the ESPP totaled $1.4 million. In April 2016, approximately 86,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to plan participants.
The NQSPP provides for the issuance of up to 800,000 shares to our independent contractors. All eligible contractors are granted identical rights to purchase common stock in each Board authorized offering under the NQSPP. Rights granted pursuant

24


to any offering under the NQSPP terminate immediately upon cessation of a contractor’s relationship with the Company for any reason. In general, a contractor may reduce his or her contribution or withdraw from participation in an offering at any time during the purchase period for such offering. Contractors receive a 5% discount on shares purchased under the NQSPP. Rights granted under the NQSPP are not transferable and may be exercised only by the person to whom such rights are granted. Offerings occur every six months in April and October. As of June 30, 2016, contributions under the NQSPP totaled $0.6 million. In April 2016, approximately 39,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to plan participants.

Note 13. Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Entity
The Company is party to two joint venture arrangements. The joint ventures provide administrative management and billing services to certain existing and planned urgent care clinics the Company and joint venture partners operate. The consolidated financial statements include all assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the less than 100% owned entity that the Company controls. Accordingly, the Company has recorded noncontrolling interests in the earnings and equity of this entity.

25


In connection with these arrangements, the Company received joint venture contributions of $1.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016.
Note 14. Transaction, Integration and Reorganization Costs
For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recognized certain transaction, integration, and reorganization costs in the amount of $27.5 million. These expenses include IPC severance and integration costs of $12.7 million, $9.2 million of professional, advisory, and legal costs associated with the activities of (i) the Board's special advisory committee (which is responsible for reviewing and evaluating possible strategic alternatives available to the Company) and (ii) the JANA agreement, $4.9 million of severance and lease impairment costs associated with a reorganization of the Company's legacy operations, and $0.7 million of legacy transaction costs.

Note 16. Segment Reporting
During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company completed certain changes to its management reporting structure to better align its businesses with the Company objectives and operating strategies. These changes resulted in changes among the Company's previously reported operating and reportable segments. The second quarter 2015 segment results have been reclassified to conform to the current year reporting of these businesses. The Company determined, in accordance with segment reporting guidance, that it provides services through eight operating segments which are aggregated into four reportable segments: Hospital Based Services, IPC Healthcare, Specialty Services, and Other Services. The Hospital Based Services segment, which is an aggregation of emergency medicine, anesthesia, and the Company's legacy acute care services, provides comprehensive healthcare service programs to users of healthcare services on a fee for service as well as a cost plus or contract basis. The IPC Healthcare segment consists of the business acquired in connection with the IPC transaction and provides comprehensive acute hospital medicine and post-acute provider service programs to users of healthcare services. The Specialty Services segment, which is an aggregation of military and government healthcare staffing, clinical services, and nurse call center operations, provides comprehensive healthcare service programs to users of healthcare services in an outpatient setting or in a non-hospital based environment. The Other Services segment is an aggregation of locums staffing, scribes, and billing, collection and consulting services that provides a range of other comprehensive healthcare services. The operating segments included in the Specialty Services or Other Services reportable segments, while similar in the types of services provided by those operating segments included in the Hospital Based Services segment, do not meet the aggregation criteria prescribed by the segment reporting guidance nor do they meet the quantitative thresholds that would require a separate presentation.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies included in our annual report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2015 filed with the SEC. Segment amounts disclosed are prior to any elimination entries made in consolidation, except in the case of net revenues, where intercompany charges have been eliminated. Certain corporate expenses are not allocated to the segments. These unallocated expenses are corporate expenses, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization, transaction costs and income taxes. The Company evaluates segment performance based on profit and loss before the aforementioned expenses.
The following table presents financial information for each reportable segment. Depreciation, amortization, management fee and other expenses separately identified in the consolidated statements of operations are included as a reduction to the respective segments’ operating earnings for each period below (in thousands):

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Introduction
We believe we are one of the largest suppliers of outsourced healthcare professional staffing and administrative services to hospitals and other healthcare providers in the United States, based upon revenues and patient visits. Our regional operating models also include comprehensive programs for inpatient care, anesthesiology, inpatient specialty care, pediatrics and other healthcare services, principally within hospital departments and other healthcare treatment facilities. We have historically focused, however, primarily on providing outsourced services to hospital emergency departments (EDs), which accounts for the majority of our net revenues.
Factors and Trends that Affect Our Results of Operations
In reading our financial statements, you should be aware of the following factors and trends we believe are important in understanding our financial performance.
General Economic Conditions
Any lingering effects of the recent economic conditions may adversely impact our ability to collect for the services we provide as higher unemployment and reductions in commercial managed care and governmental healthcare enrollment may increase the number of uninsured and underinsured patients seeking healthcare at one of our staffed EDs or other clinical facilities. We could be negatively affected if the federal government or the states reduce funding of Medicare, Medicaid and other federal and state healthcare programs in response to increasing deficits in their budgets. Also, patient volume trends in our staffed hospital clinical departments could be adversely affected as individuals potentially defer or forgo seeking care in such departments due to the loss or reduction of coverage previously available to such individuals under commercial insurance or governmental healthcare programs.
IPC Healthcare Acquisition
On November 23, 2015, we completed the acquisition of IPC Healthcare, Inc. (IPC), a national acute hospital medicine and post-acute provider organization. At closing, the Company paid approximately $1.60 billion in cash to the former owners of IPC in exchange for all of the outstanding equity interests of IPC.
In connection with this transaction, we obtained assets and assumed liabilities resulting in the recognition of $1.58 billion of goodwill. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate whether facts and circumstances indicate any impairment of the value of this goodwill. As circumstances change, we cannot be certain that the value of this goodwill will be realized by us. If we determine that a significant impairment has occurred, we will be required to write-off the impaired portion of this goodwill, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the period in which the write-off occurs. See Note 3 for more information related to the IPC acquisition.
IPC reported revenue of $185.7 million and $378.4 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2016, respectively.
Healthcare Reform
In 2010, the President of the United States and the U.S. Congress enacted significant reforms to the U.S. healthcare system. These reforms, contained primarily in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Pub.L. 111-148 (PPACA) and its companion act, the Health Care Education and Reconciliation Act, Pub.L. 111-152, (HCERA), (collectively, the Healthcare Reform Laws) have significantly altered the U.S. healthcare system by establishing, among many other things; (i) increased access to health insurance benefits for the uninsured and underinsured populations; (ii) new facilitators and providers of health insurance as well as new health insurance purchasing access points (i.e., exchanges); (iii) incentives for certain employer groups to purchase health insurance for their employees; (iv) opportunities for subsidies to certain qualifying individuals to help defray the cost of premiums and other out-of-pocket costs associated with the purchase of health insurance; and (v) over the longer term, mechanisms to foster alternative payment and reimbursement methodologies focused on outcomes, quality and care coordination.
Since its passage in 2010, the Healthcare Reform Laws have faced several challenges. Notably, in June 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the requirement in the PPACA that individuals maintain health insurance or be required by law to pay a penalty (known as the individual mandate). In that ruling, the individual mandate was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court under Congress's taxing power. Additionally, the U.S. Supreme Court held in the same ruling that states were not obligated to expand their Medicaid programs as stipulated in the PPACA to eligible recipients based solely on income.  Consequently, the ruling held that each state retained the option to expand their Medicaid rolls or not. States that choose not to

28


expand their Medicaid rolls will forego a 100% federal matching fund made available to states through 2020 and 90% thereafter for the expanded Medicaid population, but those states that do not expand will not lose their existing federal Medicaid matching payments. Currently, 32 states (including the District of Columbia) have implemented or announced their intention to expand their Medicaid programs for individuals with incomes at or less than 138% of the Federal Poverty Limit (FPL), and 19 states have elected not to expand. In addition, in June 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the provision of tax credits and federal subsidies available to individuals who purchase health insurance through a federally-facilitated exchange, irrespective of whether the exchange is run by the state or the federal government.
The Healthcare Reform Laws triggered numerous other changes to the U.S. healthcare system, some of which have already gone into effect, such as the individual mandate which went into effect on January 1, 2014, while others have been delayed until 2016 and beyond. For instance, the requirement that mid-size employers (defined as groups between 50 and 99 employees) and large size employers (defined as 100 or more employees) provide health insurance to their employees or pay an employee fine, per employee (the employer mandate) has been delayed several times and is now not scheduled to be fully implemented until 2016. Additionally, in December 2015, Congress, as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act for 2016; (i) suspended the health insurance industry fee (the health insurance tax) which applies to employer purchased insured plans, not self-insured plans, for one year, 2017; (ii) defunded the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB), which is a 15-member panel of health care experts created by the PPACA and tasked with making annual cost-cutting recommendations for Medicare if Medicare spending exceeds a specified growth rate, for one year, 2016; (iii) eliminated the Medical Device Excise Tax (Medical Device Tax), which imposed a 2.3% tax on manufacturers of certain medical devices, for two years, 2016 and 2017; and (iv) delayed the implementation of the “Cadillac Tax”, which imposed an excise tax of 40% on premiums for individuals and families that exceeded a certain minimum threshold of $10,200 for individuals and $27,500 for families until 2020.
Most recently, in January 2016, and for the first time since the inception of the Healthcare Reform Laws, Congress sent a bill to the President of the United States, repealing, in full, the Healthcare Reform Laws. President Obama vetoed this bill and Congress failed to override the President’s veto, but notwithstanding, further challenges to the Healthcare Reform Laws are expected which could impact further implementation of these laws, or the law itself. Consequently, the outcome of the upcoming 2016 presidential elections will likely be determinative on the long-term future of the Healthcare Reform Laws.
Changes in Payor Mix
Since implementation of the Healthcare Reform Laws, many of the patients presenting to the Company’s affiliated health care professionals have experienced increased access to health benefits either through the expansion of state Medicaid programs or through access to exchange enrollment opportunities. Since 2014, the Company has realized a decline in the percentage of self-pay visits for our consolidated fee for service volume and an increase in the percentage of Medicaid visits which we believe is attributable to healthcare reform. Other provisions, however, such as Medicare payment reforms and reductions that could potentially reduce provider payments, may have an adverse effect on the reimbursement rates we receive for services provided by affiliated healthcare professionals.
Medicare and Medicaid Payments for Physician Services
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) reimburses for our services to Medicare beneficiaries based upon the rates in the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS), which were updated each year based on the Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) formula enacted under the Balanced Budget Act of 1997. Many private payors use the MPFS to determine their own reimbursement rates. The application of the SGR formula to the MPFS yielded negative updates every year beginning in 2002, although CMS was able to take administrative steps to avoid a reduction in 2003 and Congress took a series of legislative actions to prevent reductions each year from 2004 through March 31, 2015.
On April 14, 2015, Congress enacted legislation known as the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) that permanently repealed the SGR formula, replacing it with a formula that calls for annual updates of 0.5% for a 5-year period (starting July 1, 2015 through the end of 2019). Starting in 2020 and through the end of 2025, there will be no annual updates to the MPFS payment rates. Physicians will have the opportunity to receive additional payment adjustments through the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) starting in 2019. MIPS is an incentive-based payment program that rewards quality performance related to four assessment categories: quality of care measures, resource use, meaningful use of electronic health records (EHRs), and clinical practice improvement activities. Physicians will receive a positive or negative payment adjustment based on how their composite performance score for each of the four assessment categories compares to the relevant performance threshold. Negative payment adjustments are capped at 4% in 2019, increasing each year, up to 9% in 2022 and beyond. Positive payment adjustments must be paid out in an amount equal to the negative payment adjustments and can reach up to a maximum of three times the annual cap for negative payment adjustments in a particular year. Additional incentive payments will be available for “exceptional performers”. Alternatively, physicians who receive a significant share of their revenue through participation in alternative payment models (APMs) that involve risk of financial losses, use of EHRs,

29


and a quality measurement component will receive a 5% bonus each year from 2019 through 2024. These physicians are excluded from participation in the MIPS. In 2026 and subsequent years, annual updates will differ based on whether a physician is participating in an APM that meets certain criteria. Physicians participating in qualifying APMs will receive a 0.75% update, and all other physicians will receive a 0.25% update. APMs include models being tested by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (other than health care innovation awards), the Medicare Shared Savings Program, under the Health Care Quality Demonstration Program, and other demonstrations required by Federal law. On May 9, 2016, CMS published a proposed rule detailing how it plans to implement the MIPS program and incentives for participation in APMs. In addition to these changes to the Medicare physician payment system, the law also extends funding for the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). The CHIP program, which covers more than eight million children and pregnant women in families that earn income above Medicaid eligibility levels, is currently authorized through 2019. Funding for the program has been extended for two years, through fiscal year 2017.
2016 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (2016 MPFS)
In November 2015, CMS released the final rule to update the 2016 MPFS. This was the first final regulatory update to the MPFS since the SGR formula was repealed in April 2015. The 2016 MPFS final rule resulted in a blended adjustment, impacted not just by MACRA, but also by the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014 (PAMA) and the Achieving a Better Life Experience Act of 2014 (ABLE). A reduction in the 2016 Conversion Factor (CF), offset against a slightly reduced adjustment to the respective specialties' Practice Expense Relative Value Units (PE RVUs), will result in a slight negative adjustment to the 2016 MPFS.
2017 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (2017 MPFS)
On July 15, 2016, CMS published a proposed rule to update the 2017 MPFS. The proposed rule addresses changes to the MPFS payment rates and other Medicare Part B payment policies. For 2017, the Conversion Factor is estimated to decrease slightly, due to application of the 0.5% update factor offset by an RVU budget neutrality adjustment and a multiple procedure payment reduction (MPPR) adjustment for advanced imaging services. MPFS payment rates for Anesthesiology and Emergency Medicine are expected to stay the same for 2017.
Out-of-Network Emergency Care: State Statutes Prohibiting Balance Billing and the Greatest of Three
Over the last several years, the practice of balance billing has gained significant attention in the media from consumers and their advocacy groups. Balance billing is the practice whereby physicians and providers who do not hold managed care provider contracts with certain health insurance plans, bill patients who have accessed their services at amounts above the amount the managed care plan elects to pay the non-participating provider for such services. Recently, the term “surprise billing” has taken a prominent position in the print and digital media particularly among consumer advocacy groups. Surprise billing refers to instances where patients present for medical care at in-network, participating hospitals but unknowingly receive care from out-of-network, non-participating hospital-based physicians such as emergency physicians, anesthesiologists, radiologists or pathologists. This can result in the patient or consumer experiencing claims processing discrepancies and potentially higher out-of-pocket costs, including their receipt of balance bills. The reimbursement amount the provider receives from the plan varies dramatically from plan to plan, region to region and even by insurance product line. The variable and often changing amounts paid by health insurance plans for out-of-network services are referred by the plans as "usual, customary & reasonable", “UCR”, or are also referred to as "usual, customary cost", or "UCC" reimbursement amounts.
In response to the needs of its patients, and as a means to avoid the practice of balance and/or surprise billing, we make a concerted effort to contract with as many health insurance plans as possible, as well as actively engage with our hospital partners to ensure, by all means possible, that we are contracted with those health plans our hospitals contracts with, notwithstanding the many variables that exist relative to managed care contracting, either with respect to market conditions, rates, plan enrollment, or even hospital relationships. On occasion, we find ourselves out-of-network with a particular health insurance plan either because (i) the plan has expressed unwillingness to contract with us, (ii) the plan chooses not to enter into business arrangements with “wrap” or “repricing network” providers, or (iii) we and the plan have been unable to reach agreement on reimbursement amounts sufficient to allow us to participate with the plan and become a network provider. Although it is generally a rare occurrence, in such cases we may choose to balance bill patients for amounts that the health plan fails to reimburse citing UCR or UCC as the basis for its payment amount.
Recently, several states have passed statutes, or are currently engaged in legislative efforts, to prohibit the practice of balance and/or surprise billing. Over the last year, balance/surprise billing statutes have passed in New York, Connecticut and most recently in Florida. Florida's law expanded an existing balance billing statute to include Preferred Provider Organization(PPO) as well as Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) insurance products. Other states such as California, Tennessee and New Jersey are considering balance/surprise billing restrictions as well, or like Texas, have implemented mediation dispute resolution processes for the benefit of patients and consumers. Additionally, many of those states are also engaging in network

30


adequacy discussions with health plans as a means to address the issue of narrow or limited participating provider networks, generally referred to as “narrow networks.” This, coupled with high deductible health benefit plans, compounds the concerns and frequency associated with balance/surprise billing. However, by incorporating certain provider network standards into statute and regulation, states are able to ensure health plans build provider networks of sufficient size and scope to meet the geographic and financial needs of their members and patients, which in turn, frequently drives favorable contract discussions between plans and providers sufficient to allow for our in-network participation with plans.
Given the highly limited number of medical claims that are both out-of-network and balance billed to patients by the Company, the effect of balance/surprise billing statutes on the Company are anticipated to be minimal. Notwithstanding, the Company supports state and federal efforts to develop benchmark standards for defining UCR and UCC in conjunction with statutes that prohibit balance/surprise billing. The Company supports state statutes like those in New York and Connecticut which adopted the 80th percentile of physician charges as the benchmark standard for UCC. The Company supports the adopted standard in the Florida law defining the benchmark standard as the “usual and customary” physician charges in the community, but believes the legislation did not go far enough in that it failed to establish the 80th percentile of physician charges as the benchmark as was done in New York and Connecticut.
Further, in response to the November, 2015, CMS, DoL and IRS published Final Rule relative to the patient protections for out-of-network emergency services, with specific reference to the three prong “test” which determined fair payment to providers for the reimbursement of such out-of-network emergency services (commonly known as the “Greater of Three”). The Company, along with its industry partners, continues to advocate for a defined benchmark standard to supplement the final rule representing the 80th percentile of physician charges, geographically adjusted and specialty specific as determined by an independently produced, commercially available and publicly accessible source of physician charges, aggregated in the form of a licensed database representing a composite of physician charges in a community
Bundled Payments for Care Improvement (BPCI) Program
In July of 2015, we began participating in an alternative payment model demonstration project with CMS. The BPCI program requires participating providers to manage the care delivered to certain qualified Medicare beneficiaries during an acute hospitalization and for 90 days thereafter with the end goals of improving quality and reducing costs. The program, which is comprised of four broadly defined models of care, requires participants to go “at-risk” by guaranteeing CMS 2% savings on the costs under management with the remaining savings paid to the participants as an incentive for participation. The various models of care cover acute care hospital stays, post-acute care, or both. We participate primarily in Model 2: Retrospective Acute Care Hospital Stay plus Post-Acute Care.
In connection with our participation in the BPCI program we have contracted with a convening organization that brings together multiple health care providers to participate in BPCI. Currently, 31 of our provider groups (TINs) participate in the BPCI program in several different geographic locations. We significantly expanded our participation in BPCI through the acquisition of IPC Healthcare, Inc. (IPC). During the initial reconciliation process in April 2016 related to the first performance quarter of participation, CMS discovered errors in their physician data set that prevented an accurate reconciliation of performance. As a result, CMS announced in July 2016 that it has waived collection of any guaranteed payments related to downside risk for program performance in 2015 but will remit calculated savings to participants to the extent savings are achieved. At this time, there is not sufficiently accurate information available to measure any gains or losses to date from this program. We anticipate accurate data will be available from CMS in the fall of 2016. We have not recognized any benefit or expense associated with the risk elements of the BPCI program, although we have incurred a modest amount of administrative expense as we continue to build out our support operations for the program.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions. Management believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
There have been no material changes to these critical accounting policies or their application during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Revenue Recognition
Net Revenues Before Provision for Uncollectibles. Net revenues before provision for uncollectibles consist of fee for service revenue, contract revenue and other revenue. Net revenues before provision for uncollectibles are recorded in the period services are rendered. Our net revenues before provision for uncollectibles are principally derived from the provision of healthcare staffing services to patients within healthcare facilities. The form of billing and related risk of collection for such services may vary by customer. The following is a summary of the principal forms of our billing arrangements and how net revenues before provision for uncollectibles are recognized for each.
A significant portion (approximately 88% of our net revenues before provision for uncollectibles for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 87% for the year ended December 31, 2015) resulted from fee for service patient visits. Fee for service revenue represents revenue earned under contracts in which we bill and collect the professional component of charges for medical services rendered by our contracted and employed physicians. Under the fee for service arrangements, we bill patients for services provided and receive payment from patients or their third-party payors. Fee for service revenue is reported net of contractual allowances and policy discounts. All services provided are expected to result in cash flows and are therefore reflected as net revenues before provision for uncollectibles in the financial statements. Fee for service revenue is recognized in the period that the services are rendered to specific patients and reduced immediately for the estimated impact of contractual allowances in the case of those patients having third-party payor coverage. The recognition of net revenues before provision for uncollectibles (gross charges less contractual allowances) from such visits is dependent on such factors as proper completion of medical charts following a patient visit, the forwarding of such charts to one of our billing centers for medical coding and entering into our billing systems and the verification of each patient’s submission or representation at the time services are rendered as to the payor(s) responsible for payment of such services. Net revenues before provision for uncollectibles is recorded based on the information known at the time of entering such information into our billing systems as well as an estimate of the net revenues before provision for uncollectibles associated with medical charts for a given service period that have not yet been processed into our billing systems. The above factors and estimates are subject to change. For example, patient payor information may change following an initial attempt to bill for services due to a change in payor status. Such changes in payor status have an impact on recorded net revenues before provision for uncollectibles due to differing payors being subject to different contractual allowance amounts. Such changes in net revenues before provision for uncollectibles are recognized in the period that such changes in the payor become known. Similarly, the actual volume of medical charts not processed into our billing systems may be different from the amounts estimated. Such differences in net revenues before provision for uncollectibles are adjusted the following month based on actual chart volumes processed.
Contract revenue represents revenue generated under contracts in which we provide physician and other healthcare staffing and administrative services in return for a contractually negotiated fee. In these contractual arrangements we are the principal in the transaction and therefore recognize contract revenue on a gross basis. Contract revenue consists primarily of billings based on hours of healthcare staffing provided at agreed upon hourly rates. Revenue in such cases is recognized as the hours worked by our staff and contractors. Additionally, contract revenue includes supplemental revenue from hospitals where we may have a fee for service contract arrangement. Contract revenue for the supplemental billing in such cases is recognized based on the terms of each individual contract. Such contract terms generally either provide for a fixed monthly dollar amount or a variable amount based upon measurable monthly activity, such as hours staffed, patient visits or actual patient collections compared to a minimum activity threshold. Such supplemental revenues based on variable arrangements are usually contractually fixed on a monthly, quarterly or annual calculation basis considering the variable factors negotiated in each such arrangement. Such supplemental revenues are recognized as revenue in the period when such amounts are determined to be fixed and therefore contractually obligated as payable by the customer under the terms of the respective agreement.
Other revenue consists primarily of revenue from management and billing services provided to outside parties. Revenue is recognized for such services pursuant to the terms of the contracts with customers. Generally, such contracts consist of fixed monthly amounts with revenue recognized in the month services are rendered or as hourly consulting fees recognized as revenue as hours worked in accordance with such arrangements. Additionally, we derive a portion of our revenues from providing billing services that are contingent upon the collection of third-party physician billings by us on behalf of such customers. Revenues are not considered earned and therefore not recognized as revenue until actual cash collections are achieved in accordance with the contractual arrangements for such services.
Net Revenues. Net revenues reflect management’s estimate of billed amounts to be ultimately collected. Management, in estimating the amounts to be collected resulting from approximately 23 million fee for service patient visits and procedures over the last 12 months, considers such factors as prior contract collection experience, current period changes in payor mix and patient acuity indicators, reimbursement rate trends in governmental and private sector insurance programs, resolution of overprovision account balances, the estimated impact of billing system effectiveness improvement initiatives, and trends in collections from self-pay patients and external collection agencies. In developing our estimate of collections per visit or procedure, we consider the amount of outstanding gross accounts receivable by period of service and by payor class, but do not use an accounts receivable aging schedule to establish estimated collection valuations. Individual estimates of net revenues by

32


contractual location are monitored and refreshed each month as cash receipts are applied to existing accounts receivable balances and other current trends that have an impact upon the estimated collections per visit are observed. Such estimates are substantially formulaic in nature. In the ordinary course of business we experience changes in our initial estimates of net revenues during the year following commencement of services. Such provisions and any subsequent changes in estimates may result in adjustments to our operating results with a corresponding adjustment to our accounts receivable allowance for uncollectibles on our balance sheet. Differences between amounts ultimately realized and the initial estimates of net revenues have historically not been material. Beginning in the first quarter of 2016, we modified our reporting metric for hospital medicine volume from cases to encounters and have presented prior year information on the same basis. Encounters represent the individual billable services by the provider during the course of a patient's hospital stay while cases represents the total hospital stay. On average, there may be approximately four to five encounters per case for a typical hospital stay. Encounters are the volume metric that has been reported by IPC and this change is consistent with their historical reporting format. The change in the hospital medicine volume metric did not have a material impact on the reported results in either period.
The table below summarizes our approximate payor mix as a percentage of consolidated fee for service volume excluding IPC, for the periods indicated:

Estimated net revenues derived from commercial and managed care plans were approximately 40% in both the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Estimated net revenues derived from the Medicare program were approximately 20% of total net revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 19% in 2015. Estimated net revenues derived from the Medicaid program were approximately 12% of total net revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 11% in 2015. In addition, net revenues derived from within the Military Health System, which is the U.S. military’s dependent healthcare program, and other government agencies were approximately 3% in both the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.
Accounts Receivable. As described above and below, we determine the estimated value of our accounts receivable based on estimated cash collection run rates of estimated future collections by contract for patient visits under our fee for service revenue. Accordingly, we are unable to report the payor mix composition on a dollar basis of its outstanding net accounts receivable. However, a 1% change in the estimated carrying value of our net fee for service patient accounts receivable before consideration of the allowance for uncollectible accounts at June 30, 2016 could have an after tax effect of approximately $8.1 million on our financial position and results of operations. Our days revenue outstanding at December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2016 were 62.7 days and 64.2 days, respectively, excluding the effect of the IPC accounts receivable. Our days revenue outstanding including IPC at December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2016 were 69.6 days and 64.0 days, respectively. The number of days outstanding will fluctuate over time due to a number of factors, including, the timing of cash collections and valuation adjustments recorded during the period and increases in average revenue per day that are primarily attributed to an increase in gross charges and patient volumes and increased pricing with managed care plans. Our allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $655.1 million as of June 30, 2016.

Approximately 98% of our allowance for doubtful accounts is related to gross fees for fee for service patient visits. Our principal exposure for uncollectible fee for service visits is centered in self-pay patients and in co-payments and deductibles from patients with insurance. While we do not specifically allocate the allowance for doubtful accounts to individual accounts or specific payor classifications, the portion of the allowance, excluding IPC, associated with fee for service charges as of June 30, 2016 was equal to approximately 93% of outstanding self-pay fee for service patient accounts.
The majority of our fee for service patient visits are for the provision of emergency care in hospital settings. Due to federal government regulations governing the provision of such care, we are obligated to provide emergency care regardless of the patient’s ability to pay or whether or not the patient has insurance or other third-party coverage for the costs of the services rendered. While we attempt to obtain all relevant billing information at the time emergency care services are rendered, there are

33


numerous patient encounters where such information is not available at time of discharge. In such cases where detailed billing information relative to insurance or other third-party coverage is not available at discharge, we attempt to obtain such information from the patient or client hospital billing record information subsequent to discharge to facilitate the collections process. Collections at the time of rendering such services (emergency room discharge as an example) are not significant. The primary responsibility for collection of fee for service accounts receivable resides within our internal billing operations. Once a claim has been submitted to a payor or an individual patient, employees within our billing operations are responsible for the follow-up collection efforts. The protocol for follow-up differs by payor classification. For self-pay patients, our billing system will automatically send a series of dunning letters on a prescribed time frame requesting payment or the provision of information reflecting that the balance due is covered by another payor, such as Medicare or a third-party insurance plan. Generally, the dunning cycle on a self-pay account will run from 90 to 120 days. At the end of this period, if no collections or additional information is obtained from the patient, the account is no longer considered an active account and is transferred to a collection agency. Upon transfer to a collection agency, the patient account is written-off as a bad debt. Any subsequent cash receipts on accounts previously written-off are recorded as a recovery. For non-self-pay accounts, billing personnel will follow-up and respond to any communication from payors such as requests for additional information or denials until collection of the account is obtained or other resolution has occurred. At the completion of our collection cycle, selected accounts may be transferred to collection agencies under a contingent collection basis. The projected value of future contingent collection proceeds expected to be collected over a multi-year period are considered in the estimation of our overall accounts receivable valuation. For contract accounts receivable, invoices for services are prepared in our various operating locations and mailed to our customers, generally on a monthly basis. Contract terms under such arrangements generally require payment within 30 days of receipt of the invoice. Outstanding invoices are periodically reviewed and operations personnel with responsibility for the customer relationship will contact the customer to follow-up on any delinquent invoices. Contract accounts receivable will be considered as bad debt and written-off based upon the individual circumstances of the customer situation after all collection efforts have been exhausted, including legal action if warranted, and it is the judgment of management that the account is not expected to be collected.
Methodology for Computing Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We employ several methodologies for determining our allowance for doubtful accounts depending on the nature of the net revenues before provision for uncollectibles recognized. We initially determine gross revenue for our fee for service patient visits based upon established fee schedule prices. Such gross revenue is reduced for estimated contractual allowances for those patient visits covered by contractual insurance arrangements to result in net revenues before provision for uncollectibles. Net revenues before provision for uncollectibles are then reduced for our estimate of uncollectible amounts. Fee for service net revenue represents our estimated cash to be collected from such patient visits and is net of our estimate of account balances estimated to be uncollectible. The provision for uncollectible fee for service patient visits is based on historical experience resulting from approximately 23 million fee for service patient visits and procedures over the last 12 months. The significant volume of patient visits and the terms of thousands of commercial and managed care contracts and the various reimbursement policies relating to governmental healthcare programs do not make it feasible to evaluate fee for service accounts receivable on a specific account basis. Fee for service accounts receivable collection estimates are reviewed on a quarterly basis for each of our fee for service contracts by period of accounts receivable origination. Such reviews include the use of historical cash collection percentages by contract adjusted for the lapse of time since the date of the patient visit. In addition, when actual collection percentages differ from expected results, on a contract by contract basis, supplemental detailed reviews of the outstanding accounts receivable balances may be performed by our billing operations to determine whether there are facts and circumstances existing that may cause a different conclusion as to the estimate of the collectibility of that contract’s accounts receivable from the estimate resulting from using the historical collection experience. Contract-related net revenue is billed based on the terms of the contract at amounts expected to be collected. Such billings are typically submitted on a monthly basis and aged trial balances prepared. Allowances for estimated uncollectible amounts related to such contract billings are made based upon specific accounts and invoice periodic reviews once it is concluded that such amounts are not likely to be collected. The methodologies employed to compute allowances for doubtful accounts were unchanged between 2015 and 2016.

Insurance Reserves
The nature of our business is such that it is subject to professional liability claims and lawsuits. Historically, to mitigate a portion of this risk, we have maintained insurance for individual professional liability claims with per incident and annual aggregate limits per physician for all incidents. Prior to March 12, 2003, we obtained such insurance coverage from commercial insurance providers. Subsequent to March 12, 2003, we have provided for a significant portion of our professional liability loss exposures through the use of captive insurance subsidiaries and through greater utilization of self-insurance reserves. Since March 12, 2003, the most significant cost element within our professional liability program has consisted of the actuarial estimates of losses by occurrence period. In addition to the estimated actuarial losses, other costs that are considered by management in the estimation of professional liability costs include program costs such as brokerage fees, claims management expenses, program premiums and taxes, and other administrative costs of operating the program, such as the costs to operate the captive insurance subsidiaries. Net costs in any period reflect our estimate of net losses to be incurred in that period as well as any changes to our estimates of the reserves established for net losses of prior periods.
The accounts of the captive insurance subsidiaries are fully consolidated with those of our other operations in the accompanying financial statements.
The estimation of medical professional liability losses is inherently complex. Medical professional liability claims are typically resolved over an extended period of time, often as long as ten years or more. The combination of changing conditions and the extended time required for claim resolution results in a loss estimation process that requires actuarial skill and the application of judgment, and such estimates require periodic revision. A report of actuarial loss estimates is prepared at least semi-annually. Management’s estimate of our professional liability costs resulting from such actuarial studies is significantly influenced by assumptions and assessments regarding expectations of several factors. These factors include, but are not limited to: historical paid and incurred loss development trends; hours of exposure as measured by hours of physician and related professional staff services; trends in the frequency and severity of claims, which can differ significantly by jurisdiction due to the legislative and judicial climate in such jurisdictions; coverage limits of third-party insurance; the effectiveness of our claims management process; and the outcome of litigation. As a result of the variety of factors that must be considered by management, there is a risk that actual incurred losses may develop differently from estimates.
The underlying information that serves as the foundational basis for making our actuarial estimates of professional liability losses is our internal database of incurred professional liability losses. We have captured extensive professional liability loss data going back, in some cases, over 25 years, that is maintained and updated on an ongoing basis by our internal claims management personnel. Our database contains comprehensive incurred loss information for our existing operations as far back as fiscal year 1997 (reflecting the initial timeframe in which we migrated to a consolidated professional liability program concurrent with the consummation of several significant acquisitions), and, in addition, we possess additional loss data that predates 1997 dates of occurrence for certain of our operations. Loss information reflects both paid and reserved losses incurred when we were covered by outside commercial insurance programs as well as paid and reserved losses incurred under our self-insurance program. Because of the comprehensive nature of the loss data and our comfort with the completeness and reliability of the loss data, this is the information that is used in the development of our actuarial loss estimates. We believe this database is one of the largest repositories of physician professional liability loss information available in our industry and provides us and our actuarial consultants with sufficient data to develop reasonable estimates of the ultimate losses under our self-insurance program. In addition to the estimated losses, as part of the actuarial process, we obtain revised payment pattern assumptions that are based upon our historical loss and related claims payment experience. Such payment patterns reflect estimated cash outflows for aggregate incurred losses by period based upon the occurrence date of the loss as well as the report date of the loss. Although variances have been observed in the actuarial estimate of ultimate losses by occurrence period between actuarial studies, the estimated payment patterns have shown much more limited variability. We use these payment patterns to develop our estimate of the discounted reserve amounts. The relative consistency of the payment pattern estimates provides us with a foundation in which to develop a reasonable estimate of the discount value of the professional liability reserves based upon the most current estimate of ultimate losses to be paid and the reasonable likelihood of the related cash flows over the payment period. Our estimated loss reserves were discounted at 1.6% as of December 31, 2015 and 0.9% as of June 30, 2016, which was the current weighted average Treasury rate, over a 10 year period at December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2016, which reflects the risk free interest rate over the expected period of claims payments.
In establishing our initial reserves for a given loss period, management considers the results of the actuarial loss estimates for such periods as well as assumptions regarding loss retention levels and other program costs to be incurred. On a semi-annual basis, we will review our professional liability reserves considering not only the reserves and loss estimates associated with the current period, but also the reserves established in prior periods based upon revised actuarial loss estimates. The actuarial estimation process employed utilizes a frequency severity simulation model to estimate the ultimate cost of claims for each loss period. The results of the simulation model are then validated by a comparison to the results from several different actuarial methods (paid loss development, incurred loss development, incurred Bornhuetter-Ferguson method, paid

35


Bornhuetter-Ferguson method) for reasonableness. Each method contains assumptions regarding the underlying claims process. Actuarial loss estimates at various confidence levels capture the variability in the loss estimates for process risk but assume that the underlying model and assumptions are correct. Adjustments to professional liability loss reserves will be made as needed to reflect revised assumptions and emerging trends and data. Any adjustments to reserves are reflected in the current operations. Due to the size of our reserve for professional liability losses, even a small percentage adjustment to these estimates can have a material effect on the results of operations for the period in which the adjustment is made. Given the number of factors considered in establishing the reserves for professional liability losses, it is neither practical nor meaningful to isolate a particular assumption or parameter of the process and calculate the impact of changing that single item. The actuarial reports provide a variety of loss estimates based upon statistical confidence levels reflecting the inherent uncertainty of the medical professional liability claims environment in which we operate. Initial year loss estimates are generally recorded using the actuarial expected loss estimate, but aggregate professional liability loss reserves may be carried at amounts in excess of the expected loss estimates provided by the actuarial reports due to the expectation that we believe additional adjustments to prior year estimates may occur. In addition, we are subject to the risk of claims in excess of insured limits as well as unlimited aggregate risk of loss in certain loss periods. As our self-insurance program continues to mature and additional stability is noted in the loss development trends in the program, we expect to continue to review and evaluate the carried level of reserves and make adjustments as needed.
During the first quarter of 2016, we reserved $14.3 million to settle two separate professional liability claims originating from prior years excess of coverage limits, which was fully funded as of June 30, 2016. See Note 10 for more information regarding these settlements.
Our most recent semi-annual actuarial study was completed in April 2016. Based on the results of the revised actuarial loss estimates, management determined that no additional change was necessary in our consolidated reserves for professional liability losses related to prior year loss estimates associated with our self-insured programs.
The following reflects the current reserves for professional liability costs as of June 30, 2016 (in millions) as well as the sensitivity of the reserve estimates at a 65%, 75% and 90% confidence level:

With the exception of specific settlement or claim issues, it is not possible to quantify the amount of the change in our estimate of prior year losses (when required) by individual fiscal period due to the nature of the professional liability loss estimates that are provided to us on an occurrence period basis and the nature of the coverage that is obtained in the commercial insurance market which is generally underwritten on a claims made or report period basis. Even though we are self-insured for a significant portion of our risk, due to customer contracting requirements and state insurance regulations, we still, at times, must place coverage on a claims made or report period basis with commercial insurance carriers. In a limited number of markets, commercial coverage may be obtained on an occurrence basis. When evaluating the appropriate carrying level of our self-insured professional liability reserves, management considers the current estimates of occurrence period loss estimates as well as how such loss estimates and related future claims will interact with previous or current commercial insurance programs when projecting future cash flows. However, the complexity that is associated with multiple occurrence periods interacting with multiple report periods that contain risks and related reserves retained by us, as well as transferred to commercial insurance carriers, makes it impossible to allocate the change in prior year loss estimates to individual occurrence periods. Instead, we evaluate the future expected cash flows for all historical loss periods in the aggregate and compare such estimates to the current carrying value of our professional liability reserves. This process provides the basis for us to conclude that our reserves for professional liability losses are reasonable and properly stated. Management considers the results of actuarial studies when estimating the appropriate level of professional liability reserves and no adjustments to prior year loss estimates were made in periods where updated actuarial loss estimates were not available.
Due to the complexity of the actuarial estimation process, there are many factors, trends and assumptions that must be considered in the development of the actuarial loss estimates, and we are not able to quantify and disclose which specific elements are primarily contributing to changes in the revised loss estimates of historical occurrence periods when such adjustments may be recorded. However, we believe that our internal investments in enhanced risk management and claims management resources and initiatives, such as the employment of additional claims and litigation management personnel and practices, and an expansion of programs such as root cause loss analysis, early claim evaluation, and litigation support for

36


insured providers have contributed to the generally stable trends in loss development estimates noted during the most recent periods.
Impairment of Intangible Assets
In assessing the recoverability of our intangibles, we must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges for these assets.
Results of Operations
The following discussion provides an analysis of our results of operations and should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements. Net revenues are an estimate of future cash collections and as such it is a key measurement by which management evaluates performance of individual contracts as well as the Company as a whole.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2015
Net Revenues Before Provision for Uncollectibles. Net revenues before provision for uncollectibles in the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased $348.9 million, or 23.8%, to $1.82 billion from $1.47 billion in the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in net revenues before provision for uncollectibles resulted from increases in fee for service revenue of $317.8 million, contract revenue of $22.4 million and other revenue of $8.8 million. In the three months ended June 30, 2016, fee for service revenue was 87.6% of net revenues before provision for uncollectibles compared to 86.8% in the same period of 2015, contract revenue was 11.4% of net revenues before provision before uncollectibles compared to 12.5% in the same period of 2015 and other revenue was 1.0% and 0.7% in 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increase in fee for service revenue before provision for uncollectibles was primarily a result of a 55.3% increase in total fee for service visits between periods.
Provision for Uncollectibles. The provision for uncollectibles in the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased $104.3 million, or 17.7%, to $693.3 million from $589.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2015. The provision for uncollectibles as a percentage of net revenues before provision for uncollectibles declined to 38.2% in the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared with 40.2% in the corresponding quarter of 2015. The provision for uncollectibles is primarily related to revenue generated under fee for service contracts that is not expected to be fully collected. The increase in the provision for uncollectibles was due primarily to annual increases in gross fee schedules and increases in patient volumes and procedures. Changes in payor mix, particularly the level of self-pay fee for service visits, also have an impact on the provision for uncollectibles. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, self-pay fee for service visits (excluding IPC) were approximately 14.7% of the total fee for service visits compared to approximately 14.9% in the same quarter of 2015, which constrained the growth in the provision for uncollectibles between quarters.

Net Revenues. Net revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased $244.6 million, or 27.9%, to $1.12 billion from $878.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2015. IPC contributed 21.1%, non-IPC (legacy) acquisitions contributed 3.1%, same contract revenue contributed 2.4%, and net sales growth contributed 1.2% of the increase in quarter over quarter growth in net revenues.
Total same contract revenue, which consists of contracts under management in both quarters, increased $21.0 million, or 2.6%, to $826.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $805.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2015. Fee for service volume increased 2.5%, which contributed 1.9% of same contract revenue growth between quarters. Increases in estimated collections on same contract fee for service visits provided a 0.1% increase in same contract revenue growth. Same contract pricing growth was constrained by a decline in unbilled revenue between periods that reflects an estimate of the value of unprocessed claims at the end of the reporting period. Also, a reduction in prior year revenue estimates in the second quarter of 2016 compared to a favorable change in prior year revenue estimates recognized in the second quarter of 2015 impacted pricing. The negative change in prior year revenue estimates recognized in 2016 is due in part to an elevated level of claim writeoffs realized in the quarter associated with provider credentialing and claims adjudication on an increased level of new and acquired contract relationships that commenced in 2014 and 2015. Same contract pricing growth was also impacted by changes in payor mix and a reduced contribution from managed care revenue growth offset by an increase in average acuity between periods. Contract and other revenue contributed 0.6% of same contract revenue growth between quarters. IPC reported revenue of $185.7 million in the second quarter of 2016 while legacy acquisitions contributed $27.5 million of growth in net revenues and net new contract revenue increased $10.4 million between quarters.
We typically gain new contracts by replacing competitors at hospitals that currently outsource such services, obtaining new contracts from facilities that do not currently outsource and responding to contracting opportunities within the military healthcare system. Factors influencing new contracting opportunities include the depth and breadth of our service offerings, our reputation and experience, our ability to recruit and retain qualified clinicians, and pricing considerations when a subsidy or contract payment is required. Contracts are typically terminated due to economic considerations, a change in hospital administration or ownership, dissatisfaction with our service offerings or, primarily relating to our military staffing arrangements, at the end of the contract term.
The components of net revenues include revenue from contracts that have been in effect for prior periods (same contract) and from net, new and acquired contracts during the periods, as set forth in the table below:

Professional Service Expenses. Professional service expenses, which include physician and provider costs, billing and collection expenses, and other professional expenses, totaled $891.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $687.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $203.6 million, or 29.6%. This increase between quarters is primarily related to our acquisitions and net new contracts and a 3.3% increase in same contract professional service expenses primarily associated with increases in provider compensation. Professional service expenses as a percentage of net revenues was 79.4% in the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 78.3% in the three months ended June 30, 2015.
Professional Liability Costs. Professional liability costs were $33.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $27.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $6.2 million or 22.6%. The increase was primarily attributed to an increase in provider hours, including increases from acquisitions and new contracts between periods. Professional liability costs as a percentage of net revenues were 3.0% in the second quarter of 2016 and 3.1% in 2015.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $17.0 million, or 21.6%, to $95.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $78.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2015. General and administrative expenses included contingent purchase compensation expense of $9.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $7.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Excluding the contingent purchase compensation expense, general and administrative expense increased $15.1 million or 21.3%, to $85.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $70.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in general and administrative expenses between periods was due primarily to the impact of the IPC operations, offset by a decline of same contract costs of $6.7 million. Total general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues were 8.5% in the second quarter of 2016 and 9.0% in the same quarter in 2015. Excluding contingent purchase compensation expense, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues were 7.6% in the second quarter of 2016 compared to 8.1% in the second quarter of 2015.
Other (Income) Expenses, Net. In the three months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized other income of $0.9 million compared to expense of $1.0 million in the same quarter in 2015. The increase of $1.8 million is primarily due the change in the fair value of assets related to our non-qualified deferred compensation plan in 2016. Additionally, there was a loss in 2015 related to the sale of certain assets related to our outsourced medical coding practice. This increase was partially offset by a loss on asset disposal in 2016.
Depreciation. Depreciation expense was $8.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase of $2.5 million was primarily due to capital expenditures in 2016 and 2015.
Amortization. Amortization expense was $24.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $21.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase of $3.0 million was primarily a result of an increase in other intangibles recognized in connection with our acquisitions in 2016 and 2015.
Interest Expense, Net. Net interest expense increased $25.9 million to $30.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $4.6 million in the corresponding quarter in 2015 primarily related to the addition of the Tranche B Term Loan facility and the issuance of $545.0 million of 7.25% Senior Notes due in 2023 (Notes) and an increase in the amortization of deferred financing costs, partially offset by a reduction in borrowings pursuant to our senior secured revolving credit facility (the revolving credit facility).
Loss on Refinancing of Debt. In connection with the refinancing of our debt facility in June 2016, we recognized a loss of $1.1 million. The loss consists of the write-off of previously recognized deferred financing costs as well as certain fees and expenses associated with the refinancing.

39


Transaction, Integration, and Reorganization Costs. Transaction, integration, and reorganization costs were $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. These expenses include ongoing IPC severance and integration costs of $4.1 million, $1.4 million of severance and other costs associated with our ongoing restructuring and reduction in force, and $0.5 million of legacy transaction costs during the quarter.
Earnings (Loss) before Income Taxes. Loss before income taxes in the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $33.5 million compared to earnings of $50.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2015.
Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes was $14.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to a provision of $21.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2015.
Net Earnings. Net earnings were $18.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $28.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2015.
Net Earnings (Loss) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests. Earnings (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests were earnings of $129,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to a loss of $53,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015.
Net Earnings Attributable to Team Health Holdings, Inc. Net earnings attributable to Team Health Holdings, Inc. were $18.8 million and $28.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2015
Net Revenues Before Provision for Uncollectibles. Net revenues before provision for uncollectibles in the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased $790.2 million, or 27.6%, to $3.66 billion from $2.87 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in net revenues before provision for uncollectibles resulted from increases in fee for service revenue of $732.6 million, contract revenue of $39.6 million and other revenue of $17.9 million. In the six months ended June 30, 2016, fee for service revenue was 87.9% of net revenues before provision for uncollectibles compared to 86.5% in the same period of 2015, contract revenue was 11.1% of net revenues before provision before uncollectibles compared to 12.8% in the same period of 2015 and other revenue was 1.0% in 2016 and 0.7% in 2015. The increase in fee for service revenue before provision for uncollectibles was primarily a result of a 60.2% increase in total fee for service visits and procedures. The increase in contract revenue was due primarily to the impact of new and acquired contracts.
Provision for Uncollectibles. The provision for uncollectibles increased $250.4 million or 21.8%, to $1.40 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $1.15 billion in the corresponding period in 2015. The provision for uncollectibles as a percentage of net revenues before provision for uncollectibles declined to 38.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared with 40.0% in the corresponding period of 2015. The provision for uncollectibles is primarily related to revenue generated under fee for service contracts that is not expected to be fully collected. The period-over-period increase in the provision for uncollectibles was due primarily to annual increases in gross fee schedules and increases in patient volumes and procedures. Changes in payor mix, particularly the level of self-pay fee for service visits, also have an impact on the provision for uncollectibles. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, self-pay fee for service visits were approximately 14.6% of the total fee for service visits compared to approximately 14.9% in the same period of 2015, which constrained the growth in the provision for uncollectibles between periods.

Net Revenues. Net revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased $539.8 million or 31.4%, to $2.26 billion from $1.72 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2015. IPC contributed 22.0%, non-IPC (legacy) acquisitions contributed 4.7%, same contract revenue contributed 3.7%, and net sales growth contributed 1.1% of the increase in period-over-period growth in net revenues. Within the acquisitions category, new hospital contracting opportunities that were initially developed by our sales and marketing process contributed 1.2% of overall net revenues growth between periods.
Total same contract revenue, which consists of contracts under management in both periods, increased $62.7 million, or 4.2%, to $1.57 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $1.50 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2015. Fee for service volume increases of 3.4% increased same contract revenue growth by 2.6%, while increases in same contract estimated collections on fee for service visits provided a 0.9% increase in same contract revenue growth between periods. The increase in the estimated collections per visit was supported by increases in commercial and managed care reimbursement as well as increases in average patient acuity levels offset by unfavorable changes in prior year revenue collections, a decline in unbilled revenue, and changes in payor mix in the six moths ended 2016. Contract and other revenue contributed 0.7% of same contract revenue growth between periods. IPC reported revenue of $378.4 million while legacy acquisitions contributed $79.9 million of growth in net revenues and net new contract revenue increased $18.7 million between periods.

Professional Service Expenses. Professional service expenses, which include physician and provider costs, billing and collection expenses, and other professional expenses, totaled $1.79 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $1.35 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $442.7 million, or 32.8%. This increase between periods is primarily related to our acquisitions and net new contract growth and a 5.0% increase in same contract professional service expenses primarily associated with increases in provider compensation. Professional service expenses as a percentage of net revenues increased to 79.4% in the six months ended June 30, 2016 from 78.6% in the six months ended June 30, 2015.
Professional Liability Costs. Professional liability costs were $80.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $53.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $26.5 million or 49.2%. Professional liability

41


costs for the six months ended June 30, 2016 included an increase in prior year professional liability loss reserves of $14.3 million. Excluding the prior year reserve adjustment in 2016, professional liability costs increased $12.3 million, or 22.7%, between periods. The increase was primarily attributed to an increase in provider hours including increases from acquisitions and new contracts. Professional liability costs as a percentage of net revenues were 3.6% in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 3.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2015. Excluding the prior year revenue adjustments in 2016, professional liability costs as a percentage of net revenues were 2.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2016.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $47.5 million or 31.2% to $199.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $152.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015. General and administrative expenses included contingent purchase compensation expense of $18.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $15.8 million of expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Excluding the contingent purchase compensation expense, general and administrative expense increased $44.4 million or 32.5%, to $180.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $136.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in general and administrative expenses between periods was due primarily to the impact of IPC operations and other acquisitions, offset by a decline in same contract costs of $1.4 million. Total general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues were 8.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 8.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2015. Excluding contingent purchase compensation expense, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues were 8.0% in the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 7.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2015.
Other (Income) Expenses, Net. In the six months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized other income of $1.6 million compared to $2.3 million in the same period in 2015. The decrease of $0.7 million in income is primarily primarily related to the sale of our equity investment in a hospital-based telemedicine consultation provider and certain assets that were held for sale in 2015, and loss on asset disposal in 2016, partially offset by the sale of certain assets related to our outsourced medical coding practice in 2015, and decreased gains from the change in fair value of assets held related to the non-qualified deferred compensation plan and gains related to increased realized gains on investments in 2016.
Depreciation. Depreciation expense was $16.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $11.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase of $5.0 million was primarily due to capital expenditures in 2016 and 2015.
Amortization. Amortization expense was $47.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $41.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase of $6.2 million was primarily a result of an increase in other intangibles recognized in connection with our acquisitions in 2016 and 2015.
Net Interest Expense. Net interest expense increased $53.2 million to $61.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $8.6 million in the corresponding period in 2015, primarily related to the addition of the tranche B term loan and the issuance of $545.0 million of 7.25% Senior Notes due in 2023 and an increase in the amortization of deferred financing costs, partially offset by a reduction in borrowings pursuant to our senior secured revolving credit facility (the revolving credit facility).
Loss on Refinancing of Debt. In connection with the refinancing of our debt facility in June 2016, we recognized a loss of $1.1 million. The loss consists of the write-off of previously recognized deferred financing costs as well as certain fees and expenses associated with the refinancing.
Transaction, Integration, and Reorganization Costs. Transaction, integration, and reorganization costs were $27.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. These expenses include IPC severance and integration costs of $12.7 million, $9.2 million of professional, advisory, and legal costs associated with the activities of (i) the Board's special advisory committee (which is responsible for reviewing and evaluating possible strategic alternatives available to the Company) and (ii) the JANA agreement, $4.9 million of severance and lease impairment costs associated with a reorganization of the Company's legacy operations, and $0.7 million of legacy transaction costs during the quarter.
Earnings before Income Taxes. Earnings before income taxes in the six months ended June 30, 2016 were $32.0 million compared to $99.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015.
Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes was $12.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $42.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015.
Net Earnings. Net earnings were $19.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $56.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015.

42


Net Earnings (Loss) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests. Earnings (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests were earnings of $191,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and a loss of $67,000.0 in the six months ended June 30, 2015.
Net Earnings Attributable to Team Health Holdings, Inc. Net earnings attributable to Team Health Holdings, Inc. were $19.5 million and $57.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal ongoing uses of cash are to meet working capital requirements, to fund debt obligations and to finance our capital expenditures and acquisitions. We believe that our cash needs, other than for significant acquisitions, will continue to be met through the use of existing available cash, cash flows derived from future operating results and borrowings under our senior secured revolving credit facility.
Cash flow provided by operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $54.4 million compared to $18.2 million in the same period in 2015. Included in operating cash flow were contingent purchase price payments of $2.6 million and $8.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively. Operating cash flow was also impacted by $14.0 million of cash transaction and integration costs associated with the IPC transaction in the six months ended June 30, 2016. Excluding the impact of the contingent purchase payments and the IPC transaction and integration costs, operating cash flow in 2016 increased $44.0 million to $71.1 million compared to $27.1 million in 2015. Operating cash flow in the first six months of 2016 reflects a reduced level of accounts receivable funding and a net income tax refund offset by an increased level of interest payments when compared to the prior year. Cash used in investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $42.9 million compared to $89.1 million in the same period of 2015. The $46.2 million decrease in cash used in investing activities was principally due to a decrease in cash used for acquisitions between periods. Cash used in financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $23.8 million compared to cash provided of $102.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015. The change in financing activities between periods was primarily related to changes in net revolving credit facility borrowings and payments between periods and an increase in term loan payments in 2016 and reduced equity proceeds and related tax benefit from exercise of stock options.
We spent $15.3 million in the first six months of 2016 and $17.4 million in the first six months of 2015 on capital expenditures. These expenditures were primarily for billing and information technology investments and related development projects along with projects in support of operational initiatives.
As of June 30, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $16.3 million and total outstanding debt of $2.42 billion (excluding the impact of $50.3 million of deferred financing costs). There were no known liquidity restrictions or impairments on our cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2016. We had $7.5 million borrowings under our revolving credit facility outstanding as of June 30, 2016 and had $642.5 million of available borrowings under our revolving credit facility (without giving effect to $6.8 million of undrawn letters of credit).
In June 2016, we completed the repricing of our Tranche B Term Loan facility. The repricing amendment reduced the interest rate applicable to the Tranche B Loans by 75 basis points to LIBOR plus 3.00% from LIBOR plus 3.75% (in each case subject to a minimum LIBOR floor of 75 basis points). See Note 8 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a discussion of our indebtedness.
Our senior credit facility agreement, as amended, contains both affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, sell material assets, retire, redeem or otherwise reacquire our capital stock, acquire the capital stock or assets of another business and pay dividends, and require us to comply with a maximum total net leverage ratio, tested quarterly. At June 30, 2016, we were in compliance with all covenants under the senior credit facility agreement. The senior credit facility is secured by substantially all of our and our U.S. subsidiaries’ assets.
The indenture governing our Notes contains restrictive covenants that limit among other things, the ability of us and our restricted subsidiaries to incur or guarantee additional debt or issue disqualified stock or certain preferred stock; pay dividends and make other distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, capital stock; make certain investments; incur certain liens; enter into certain transactions with affiliates; merge or consolidate; enter into agreements that restrict the ability of certain restricted subsidiaries to make dividends or other payments to us or each of our existing and future material domestic wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries, referred to, collectively, as “Guarantors;” designate restricted subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries; and transfer or sell certain assets. These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions. The indenture also contains customary events of default which would permit the holders of the Notes to declare those Notes to be immediately due and payable if not cured within applicable grace periods, including the failure to make timely payments on the Notes or other material indebtedness, the failure to satisfy covenants and specified events of bankruptcy and insolvency.

Subject to any contractual restrictions, we and our subsidiaries or affiliates may from time to time, in their sole discretion, purchase, repay, redeem or retire any of our outstanding equity or debt securities in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise.
We have historically been an acquirer of other physician staffing businesses and related interests. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, total net cash used in acquisitions, including contingent payments, was $39.4 million. As of June 30, 2016, we estimate future contingent payment obligations to be approximately $101.1 million for acquisitions made prior to June 30, 2016, which we expect to fund over a period of three years. $69.2 million was recorded as a liability on our balance sheet as of June 30, 2016, while the remaining estimated liability of $31.9 million will be recorded as contingent purchase and other acquisition compensation expense over the remaining performance period. See Note 3 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a discussion of our acquisitions and related contingent payment obligations.
We are currently in discussions with certain physician staffing businesses regarding potential acquisition opportunities. If we consummate any of these potential acquisitions, we would expect to fund such acquisitions using our existing cash, through borrowings under our revolving credit facility, or through the issuance of additional debt or equity. See Note 3 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the Company's acquisition activity and related contingent purchase obligations.
Effective March 12, 2003, we began providing for professional liability risks in part through captive insurance subsidiary. Prior to such date, we insured such risks principally through the commercial insurance market. The change in the professional liability insurance program initially resulted in increased cash flow due to the retention of cash formerly paid out in the form of insurance premiums to a commercial insurance company coupled with a long period (typically 2-4 years or longer on average) before cash payout of such losses occurs. A portion of such cash retained is retained within our captive insurance subsidiaries and therefore is not immediately available for general corporate purposes. Investments held by the Company and our captive insurance subsidiaries are carried at fair market value. As of June 30, 2016, these investments totaled approximately $111.4 million, including a $3.6 million net unrealized gain. See Note 5 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the investments held by the Company and our captive insurance subsidiaries.
Effective June 1, 2014, we renewed our fronting carrier program with a commercial insurance carrier through May 31, 2016. In June 2016, we paid cash premiums of approximately $2.5 million to the commercial insurance carrier, which was the first quarterly payment for the annual premium of $9.8 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, we funded approximately $18.8 million of premiums to our captive insurance subsidiaries.
We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings attributable to Team Health Holdings, Inc. before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to exclude the non-cash items and the other adjustments shown in the table below. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it assists investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about the calculation of and compliance with our debt agreements. Adjusted EBITDA is a material component of these covenants.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance or liquidity under generally accepted accounting principles. In evaluating our performance as measured by Adjusted EBITDA, management recognizes and considers the limitations of this measure. Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect certain cash expenses that we are obligated to make, and although depreciation and amortizations are non-cash charges, assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do or may not calculate it at all, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings, operating income, cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities, or any other measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Inflation
We do not believe that general inflation in the U.S. economy has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
Seasonality
Historically, our revenues and operating results have reflected minimal seasonal variation due to the significance of revenues derived from patient visits to emergency departments, which are generally open on a year-round basis, and also due to our geographic diversification. Revenue from our non-emergency department staffing lines is dependent on a healthcare facility being open during selected time periods. Revenue in such instances will fluctuate depending upon such factors as the number of holidays in the period.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company is exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

45


The Company’s earnings are affected by changes in short-term interest rates as a result of its borrowings under its term loan facility.
At June 30, 2016, the fair value of the Company’s total debt was approximately $2.47 billion, which had a carrying value of $2.42 billion, all of which was variable debt. If the market interest rates for the Company’s variable rate borrowings had averaged 1% more subsequent to December 31, 2015, the Company’s interest expense would have increased, and earnings before income taxes would have decreased, by approximately $8.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. This analysis does not consider the effects of the reduced level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment. Further, in the event of a change of such magnitude, management could take actions in an attempt to further mitigate its exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, the sensitivity analysis assumes no changes in the Company’s financial structure.
Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving desired objectives. As of June 30, 2016, we conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. As a result of the completion of the IPC Healthcare, Inc. (IPC) acquisition on November 23, 2015, we have begun our analysis of the systems of disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting of IPC and to integrate them within our broader framework of controls. The SEC’s rules require us to include acquired entities in our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting no later than the annual management report following the first anniversary of the acquisition. We plan to complete the evaluation and the integration of IPC within the required time frames and report management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting in our first annual report in which such assessment is required for this acquisition. Accordingly, as permitted by the SEC, management’s assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of its newly-acquired IPC operations, which are included in the consolidated financial statements for the period ending June 30, 2016. IPC represents $1.88 billion and $1.67 billion of total and net assets, respectively, as of June 30, 2016 and $378.4 million and $12.6 million of net revenues and net earnings, respectively, for the six months then ended. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of June 30, 2016, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Risks Related to Our Business

We may write-off intangible assets, such as goodwill, related to the IPC transaction.
As a result of purchase accounting for our IPC acquisition transaction, our balance sheet at June 30, 2016 contained intangible assets designated as either goodwill or other intangibles totaling approximately $1.58 billion in goodwill and approximately $22.5 million in other intangibles. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate whether facts and circumstances indicate any impairment of the value of intangible assets. As circumstances change, we cannot assure you that the value of these intangible assets will be realized by us. If we determine that a significant impairment has occurred, we will be required to write-off the impaired portion of intangible assets, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the period in which the write-off occurs.
