Surgery Partners, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2018 Results

March 13, 2019

Same Store Volume and Revenue Growth, Along with Expanding Margins, Highlight Progress of Strategic Growth Initiatives

BRENTWOOD, Tenn., March 13, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Surgery Partners, Inc. (NASDAQ:SGRY) ("Surgery Partners" or the "Company"), a leading provider of surgical services, today announced results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2018.

Highlights for the Fourth Quarter 2018:

  • Revenues increased 6.7% to $491.2 million and adjusted revenues increased 8.5% to $499.7 million
  • Same-facility revenues increased 7.4% to $513.3 million
  • Net loss attributable to common shareholders of $156.2 million in the fourth quarter 2018, inclusive of non-cash goodwill impairment and litigation charges of $74.4 million and $46.0 million, respectively, resulting in a net loss per share of $3.25
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 14.7% to $73.3 million

Highlights for 2018:

  • Revenues increased 32.1% to $1.8 billion and adjusted revenues increased 34.6% to $1.8 billion

  • Net loss attributable to common shareholders of $238.1 million inclusive of non-cash goodwill impairment and litigation charges of $74.4 million and $46.0 million, respectively, resulting in a net loss per share of $4.96
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 42.9% to $234.8 million

2019 Outlook:

  • Revenues projected to grow low single digit percentage; when normalized for revenues divested in 2018, growth is projected to be mid-to-high single digits
  • Adjusted EBITDA to grow low double digit percentage
  • Outlook does not include impact of unidentified merger and acquisition activity

Adjusted revenues and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures.  A definition and reconciliation of these measures appears beginning on page 7.

Wayne DeVeydt, Chief Executive Officer of Surgery Partners, stated, “Our fourth quarter results were highlighted by strong Adjusted EBITDA growth, as well as our second consecutive quarter of same store volume growth. We continue to advance our agenda both operationally and strategically, as we remain focused on repositioning our portfolio for growth, investing in our platforms and processes, and deploying capital to continue to execute on organic and inorganic growth opportunities.”

Mr. DeVeydt continued, “Looking ahead to 2019, we are excited to provide investors an outlook for double-digit Adjusted EBITDA growth.  As our growth strategy continues to gain traction, our goal is to make 2019 the first of many years of double-digit Adjusted EBITDA growth.”

Tom Cowhey, Chief Financial Officer of Surgery Partners, commented, “Fourth quarter results demonstrated good progress as we reposition the company for growth in 2019. We are quite pleased to close 2018 at the high end or above our revised guidance ranges for Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Revenues, respectively, and in a sound liquidity position.  Further, with the charge we took today on our outstanding investigation by the federal government, we are excited to continue to reduce distractions and focus additional management time on our core short-stay surgical facilities business.”

Fourth Quarter 2018 Results

Revenues increased 6.7% to $491.2 million and adjusted revenues (refer to footnote 3 on page 7) for the fourth quarter of 2018 increased 8.5% to $499.7 million from $460.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2017. Same-facility revenues for the fourth quarter of 2018 increased 7.4% from the same period last year as a result of a 1.1% increase in same facility cases and a 6.3% increase in revenue per case. For the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company’s net loss attributable to common shareholders was $156.2 million compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $40.0 million for the same period last year. For the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA increased 14.7% to $73.3 million compared to $63.9 million for the same period last year, primarily as a result of executing against our strategic growth initiatives.

Results for the fourth quarter of 2018 include a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $74.4 million related to the Company's Ancillary and Optical reporting units and a litigation charge of $46.0 million related to the civil investigative demand letter received from the federal government in October 2017, as disclosed in our previous SEC filings.

Full Year 2018 Results

Total revenues for 2018 increased 32.1% to $1.8 billion and adjusted revenues for 2018 increased 34.6% to $1.8 billion from $1.3 billion for 2017.  Same-facility revenues for 2018 increased 5.0% from 2017. The increase was driven by a 5.8% increase in revenue per case offset by a decline in case growth of 0.8%. For the full year 2018, the Company’s net loss attributable to common shareholders was $238.1 million compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $79.0 million for the same period last year. For 2018, the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA increased 42.9% to $234.8 million compared to $164.3 million for 2017.

Net loss attributable to common shareholders for 2018 includes the non-cash goodwill impairment and litigation related charges as described above.

Liquidity

Surgery Partners had cash and cash equivalents of $184.3 million and availability of approximately $71.2 million under its revolving credit facility at December 31, 2018. Net operating cash flow, including operating cash flow less distributions to non-controlling interests, was $16.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. For the full year, net operating cash flow was $35.6 million. The Company’s ratio of total net debt to EBITDA, as calculated under the Company’s credit agreement, at the end of the fourth quarter of 2018, was 7.7x. During 2018, the Company acquired a controlling interest in five surgical facilities in new markets, two surgical facilities in existing markets (one of which was merged into an existing facility) and multiple physician practices for a combined cash purchase price of $106.8 million, net of cash acquired.

2019 Outlook

The Company projects that it will be able to grow revenues at a low single-digit percentage rate in 2019; when the 2018 baseline is adjusted for divested revenues, 2019 revenue growth is projected to be high single digits. The Company also projects that it will be able to grow Adjusted EBITDA at a double-digit percentage rate in 2019, which is expected to be weighted more towards the back half of the year.  The Company’s outlook does not incorporate the impact of unidentified merger and acquisition activity.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited, Amounts in thousands)

The following table reconciles adjusted revenues to revenues in the selected consolidated financial information, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure:

    2018
    Q1   Q2   Q3   Q4   Full-Year
Adjusted Revenues (3):                    
Revenues prior to provision for doubtful accounts reclassification   $ 411,332     $ 436,579     $ 432,377     $ 491,168     $ 1,771,456  
Add: provision for doubtful accounts   6,037     8,196     11,555     8,482     34,270  
Total adjusted revenues   $ 417,369     $ 444,775     $ 443,932     $ 499,650     $ 1,805,726  

(3) In accordance with a new accounting standard that was effective prospectively beginning January 1, 2018, we reflected our estimated provision for doubtful accounts net of revenues rather than as an operating expense, as it had historically been presented. Adjusted revenues add back the estimated provision for doubtful accounts. We believe such an adjustment is appropriate, as the new standard did not affect prior year results, which impacts comparability. Our calculation of adjusted revenues may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Further, we are presenting a comparative reconciliation of each quarter in 2018, as prior quarterly presentation did not classify our provision for doubtful accounts as a component of revenues.

The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to (loss) income before income taxes in the reported consolidated financial information, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure:

(Loss) income before income taxes   $ (91,524 )   $ 72,816     $ (69,165 )   $ 82,286  

(4) We use Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by management to assess operating performance, make business decisions and allocate resources. Non-controlling interests represent the interests of third parties, such as physicians, and in some cases, healthcare systems that own an interest in surgical facilities that we consolidate for financial reporting purposes. We believe that it is helpful to investors to present Adjusted EBITDA as defined above because it excludes the portion of net income attributable to these third-party interests and clarifies for investors our portion of Adjusted EBITDA generated by our surgical facilities and other operations.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income or any other measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and evaluating our financial performance. We believe such adjustments are appropriate, as the magnitude and frequency of such items can vary significantly and are not related to the assessment of normal operating performance. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Surgery Partners is not able to project the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and therefore cannot reconcile projected Adjusted EBITDA to projected net income for 2019.

(5) This amount includes merger transaction and integration costs of $7.9 million and $4.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and practice acquisition costs of $0.5 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

This amount includes merger transaction and integration costs of $31.7 million and $13.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and practice acquisition costs of $2.2 million and $3.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

In connection with the Preferred Private Placement and the Private Sale, as previously disclosed on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 1, 2017, the Company elected to apply “pushdown” accounting with the change of control effective August 31, 2017, by applying the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic ("ASC") 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements of the Company for periods before and after August 31, 2017 will reflect different bases of accounting, and the financial positions and results of operations of those periods are not comparable.
