SURGERY PARTNERS, INC. ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2016 RESULTS
Revenues increase 19% over prior year period driven by strong same-facility revenue growth of 13.3%
NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 5, 2016 - Surgery Partners, Inc. (NASDAQ:SGRY) ("Surgery Partners" or the "Company"), a leading provider of surgical services, today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016.
• | Revenues increased 19.2% over first quarter 2015 to $267.1 million |
• | Same-facility revenue increased 13.3% over first quarter 2015 to $259.7 million |
• | Adjusted EBITDA increased 6.8% over first quarter 2015 to $38.4 million |
“The first quarter of 2016 continued the momentum we enjoyed in 2015, with solid operating performance and further expansion of our network of surgical facilities, physician practices and ancillary services, “said Michael Doyle, Chief Executive Officer of Surgery Partners. “Our growing portfolio of healthcare facilities and services continue to deliver high quality healthcare in a cost effective manner across 29 states. Our integrated approach drives consistent same-facility case growth, favorable patient and physician surveys and strong financial performance.”
“During the first quarter we completed three in-market transactions, including two in-market physician practices and one in-market surgical facility. Subsequent to quarter end, we continue to focus on our in-market strategy completing a platform transaction in Jacksonville, FL to significantly strengthen our presence in this market with a second ambulatory surgery center, an integrated physician practice with multiple locations and related ancillary services. This expansion in the northeast Florida market enhances our strategic focus of providing multiple complimentary service lines in the five largest markets in the state.”
As of March 31, 2016, the Company owned or operated 101 surgical facilities primarily in partnership with physicians and, on a select basis, physicians and health systems, in addition to a network of 48 physician practices.
First Quarter 2016 Results
Total revenues for the first quarter of 2016 increased 19.2% to $267.1 million from $224.1 million for the first quarter of 2015. Same-facility revenues for the first quarter of 2016 increased 13.3% to $259.7 million from $229.3 million in the same period last year. Results were driven by increased same-facility cases of 11.6%.
For the first quarter of 2016, the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA was $38.4 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $36.0 million for the same period last year.
Liquidity
Surgery Partners had cash and cash equivalents of $135.0 million at March 31, 2016 and availability of $146.8 million under its revolving credit facility. Net operating cash flow, including operating cash flow less distributions to non-controlling interests, was $7.7 million for the first quarter of 2016. Normalized free cash flow for the fist quarter was $11.4 million. As expected, the Company’s ratio of total debt to EBITDA at the end of the first quarter of 2016, as calculated under the Company’s credit agreement, was 6.0x reflecting the financing of transaction costs related to the issuance of $400 million senior unsecured notes during the first quarter.
Full Year 2016 Guidance
For 2016, the Company reiterates the guidance provided on our conference call in March of this year. The Company continues to expect Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $184.0 million to $191.0 million representing growth of 16% to 21% over 2015.
