Capella Healthcare, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2014 Results

Quarterly Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA Increases by 18.4% over Prior Year

Capella Completes Strongest Year in Company’s History

Franklin, Tennessee – March 27, 2015 – Capella Healthcare, Inc. (“Capella”) today announced results for the three months and twelve months ended December 31, 2014. In its strongest year in history, Capella’s Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA increased to $103.3 million, representing a 10.5% over the prior year.

Three Months Ended December 31, 2014

For the three months ended December 31, 2014, revenues from continuing operations were $183.7 million, up $19.8 million or 12.1% over the same period a year ago. Pro forma adjusted EBITDA increased 18.4% to $27.0 million compared with $22.8 million for the same period a year ago. Admissions increased 5.3% from the prior year quarter, and adjusted admissions increased 11.3% for the same prior year period. Revenue per adjusted admission declined 2.0%. For the quarter, pro forma adjusted EBITDA margin expanded a solid 80 basis points to 14.7% over the same period a year ago.

The strong quarterly performance was driven by several factors, including improving inpatient trends, significant growth in outpatient revenues which increased 18.9% over the prior year quarter. The growth in outpatient revenues reflect increases in cardiovascular services, diagnostic imaging services, outpatient surgeries and emergency department visits, up 10%, the largest quarterly increase in more than two years. Self-pay revenues declined 33% over the prior quarter, largely a result of Medicaid coverage expansion in three of the states served by Capella’s hospitals.

Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2014

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, revenues from continuing operations were $713.4 million, an increase of $45.3 million or 6.8% over the same prior year period. Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA was $103.3, an increase of 10.5% and $9.8 million over the prior year.

The strong performance was impacted by numerous factors, including a decrease in self-pay admissions of 33.8%. For the year, adjusted admissions were up 2.1%, admissions were down 1.4%, revenue per adjusted admission increased 4.6% and ER visits were up 4.1%.

“Our fourth quarter and 2014 year-end results demonstrate significant achievement, with which we are very pleased,” said Michael A. Wiechart, president and chief executive officer of Capella. “With a 10.5% increase in pro forma adjusted EBITDA, 2014 was our most successful year in the company’s history. More importantly, our hospitals continue to make significant and sustained progress in quality and patient safety metrics. None of this would be possible without the hard work and dedication of the thousands of employees, physicians and volunteers in the communities we are privileged to serve.”


“Additionally, we were pleased to complete the acquisition of a new hospital, Carolina Pines Regional Medical Center in Hartsville, SC, adding them to the Capella family on January 1, 2015. We also formed two new clinical partnerships with nationally known academic medical centers last year, MUSC Health in Charleston, South Carolina, and UW Medicine in Seattle, WA.”

“These results – as well as local, regional and national recognition – show that our hospital leaders are doing an outstanding job during a challenging time for our industry. Among the recent recognition earned by our hospitals is a second consecutive “Top Workplace in Oklahoma” award for Southwestern Medical Center in Lawton, OK; a fourth consecutive “Top Performer on Key Quality Measures®” by The Joint Commission for Willamette Valley Medical Center in McMinnville, OR; and “Businesses of the Year” honors for both National Park Medical Center in Hot Springs, AR, and EASTAR Health System in Muskogee, OK.”
