Nobilis Health Reports Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results

August 02, 2017
Revenue Increases 29% Over Prior Year Period
HOUSTON, TX--(PRNewswire - August 2, 2017) - Nobilis Health Corp. (NYSE American: HLTH) ("Nobilis" or the "Company") today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017.

Second Quarter Highlights
Revenue was $80.0 million, a 29.2% increase compared to the same quarter last year
Net income attributable to Nobilis was $1.6 million, compared to $4.8 million in the same quarter last year
Adjusted EBITDA1 was $10.1 million, a 18.1% increase compared to the same quarter last year

"Our strong second quarter operating results reflect the continued focus on our marketing and cost cutting initiatives, as well as diversification of our revenues,” said Harry Fleming, Chief Executive Officer of Nobilis Health. “Total revenue and adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter grew by 29% and 18%, respectively, compared to the same period last year while total operating expenses and corporate costs as a percent of revenue decreased by 5% and 4%, respectively, compared to the same period in the prior year. Our businesses complement one another and as we enter the second half of the year we see continued revenue growth, particularly in the ancillary service lines."

"We continued to make solid progress reducing costs in the second quarter. The cost cuts we set out earlier this year remain on track and the focus for the second half of the year continues to be on growing our portfolio of facilities with improved efficiencies."

Second Quarter 2017 Results
Total revenue for the second quarter of 2017 increased to $80.0 million, a 29.2% increase over the same prior year period. Total case volume decreased by 266 cases to 4,597 cases, or 5.5%, compared to 4,863 cases in the prior corresponding period. Revenue per case increased to $17,394, or 36.7%, in the second quarter of 2017, as compared to $12,723 in the same period last year. The revenue per case increase was due to higher acuity cases, growth in our ancillary services and the addition of the vein business.
Net income attributable to Nobilis for the second quarter of 2017 was $1.6 million or $0.02 per fully diluted share, as compared to $4.8 million, or $0.06 per fully diluted share, in the second quarter of 2016. This was impacted by higher income tax, interest expense and increased profitability from our minority owned facilities.
Adjusted EBITDA1 for the second quarter of 2017, which adds back certain non-cash and non-recurring expenses, was $10.1 million, an increase of 18.1% over $8.5 million in the same quarter last year.
Total cash was $29.2 million, accounts receivable was $110.4 million and total bank debt was $66.9 million as of June 30, 2017, compared to $24.6 million, $125.0 million and $65.5 million, respectively, at December 31, 2016.






Six Months Ended 2017 Results
Total revenue for the first six months of 2017 increased to $148.3 million, a 31.1% increase over the same prior year period. Total case volume for the first six months of 2017 increased by 191 cases to 9,028 cases, or 2.2%, compared to 8,837 cases in the same prior year period. Revenue per case increased to $16,423 or 28.3%, compared to $12,803 in the same prior year period. The increase in total revenue and total case volume for the first six months of 2017 compared to the prior corresponding period was due primarily to higher acuity cases, growth in our ancillary services and the addition of the vein business.
Net loss attributable to Nobilis for the first six months of 2017 was $0.8 million or $0.01 per fully diluted share, as compared to net loss attributable to Nobilis of $0.2 million or $0.00 per fully diluted share, in the same prior year period.

Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Canadian and United States securities laws, including the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts and may be identified by the use of words such as "may," "believe," "will," "expect," "project," "estimate," "anticipate," "plan" or "continue." These forward-looking statements are based on current plans and expectations and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors which could significantly affect current plans and expectations and our future financial condition and results. These factors, which could cause actual results, performance and achievements to differ materially from those anticipated, include, but are not limited to our ability to successfully maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting; our ability to implement our business strategy, manage the growth in our business, and integrate acquired businesses; the risk of litigation and investigations, and liability claims for damages and other expenses not covered by insurance; the risk that payments from third-party payers, including government healthcare programs, may decrease or not increase as costs increase; adverse developments affecting the medical practices of our physician limited partners; our ability to maintain favorable relations with our physician limited partners; our ability to grow revenues by increasing case and procedure volume while maintaining profitability at the Nobilis Facilities; failure




to timely or accurately bill for services; our ability to compete for physician partners, patients and strategic relationships; the risk of changes in patient volume and patient mix; the risk that laws and regulations that regulate payments for medical services made by government healthcare programs could cause our revenues to decrease; the risk that contracts are canceled or not renewed or that we are not able to enter into additional contracts under terms that are acceptable to us; and the risk of potential decreases in our reimbursement rates. The foregoing are significant factors we think could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected results. However, there could be additional factors besides those listed herein that also could affect us in an adverse manner.


We have not undertaken any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements. All of our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the document in which they are made or, if a date is specified, as of such date. Subject to any mandatory requirements of applicable law, we disclaim any obligation or undertaking to provide any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in our expectations or any changes in events, conditions, circumstances or information on which the forward-looking statement is based.

1 Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures  
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash compensation expenses, change in fair value of warrant and stock option derivative liabilities, acquisition expenses, and non-recurring expenses. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of financial performance required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is an analytical indicator used by management and the health care industry to evaluate company performance, allocate resources and measure leverage and debt service capacity. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows generated by operations, investing or financing activities, or other financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial statements as indicators of financial performance or liquidity. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
