KNOXVILLE, Tenn., May 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --Team Health Holdings, Inc. ("TeamHealth") (NYSE: TMH), one of the largest suppliers of outsourced healthcare professional staffing and administrative services to hospitals and other healthcare providers in the United States, today announced results for its first quarter 2010.
"Our first quarter results reflect strong growth from our recent acquisition activities, but total net revenue growth was constrained by declines in same contract fee-for-service volumes. Similar to many other healthcare services companies, we experienced significantly softer patient volume compared to 2009, driven by a benign seasonal flu period, significant declines in H1/N1 flu volume when compared to prior sequential quarters, and weather-related issues within the current quarter. The four acquisitions that we completed last year made a solid contribution to revenue and earnings and we expect that the two recently announced transactions will make contributions to our financial performance in the second quarter and beyond. In light of patient volumes that ran below our historical trend line during the quarter, we have focused on managing our cost structure in line with the potential for soft fee-for-service volumes over the remainder of the year. Our expense controls, combined with continued improvement in revenue cycle processes and execution, and our ongoing focus on professional liability cost management, enabled us to grow net revenue while maintaining our targeted Adjusted EBITDA margin," said TeamHealth President and Chief Executive Officer Greg Roth.
2010 First Quarter Results
- Net Revenue less provision for uncollectibles increased 4.3% to $364.5 million over the same period in the prior year.
- Reported net earnings of $10.9 million or $0.17 diluted net earnings per share. Net earnings were $16.3 million, or $0.25 diluted net earnings per share, after excluding costs associated with the redemption of the 11.25% Senior Subordinated Notes totaling $16.2 million on a pre-tax basis ($9.9 million after-tax) and a favorable prior year professional liability loss reserve adjustment of $7.2 million on a pre-tax basis ($4.4 million after-tax)
- Adjusted EBITDA (excluding the effects of professional liability loss reserve adjustments) declined 5.2% to $38.6 million over the same period in the prior year.
Net revenue less provision for uncollectibles ("revenue less provision") in the first quarter of 2010 increased 4.3% to $364.5 million from $349.6 million in the first quarter of 2009. Revenue less provision from acquisitions and new contracts, net of terminations (excluding the military division), contributed 6.1% and 1.3%, respectively, of the growth between quarters. Due to declines in both same contract fee-for-service volumes and in contract and other revenue, same contract revenue contributed 0.2% towards overall growth. Net contract changes within the military division reduced quarter over quarter net revenue growth by 3.3%.
Same contract revenue less provision for the first quarter of 2010 increased 0.2% to $315.1 million from $314.6 million in the same period a year ago. Increases in estimated collections on fee-for-service visits of 2.8% contributed approximately 2.0% of same contract revenue growth between quarters. Due, in part, to the effects of extremely low seasonal flu incidents on a nationwide basis and weather-related issues in certain geographic areas during the first quarter of 2010, fee-for-service visits declined by 0.8%, which contributed a 0.6% decline in same contract revenue growth between periods. Declines in contract and other revenue, primarily associated with the locum tenens and military divisions, constrained same contract revenue growth by 1.2%. Acquisitions contributed $21.4 million of growth between periods. Excluding the impact of contracting changes within the military division, net new contract revenue increased by $4.6 million while changes within military staffing contracts resulted in a decline of $11.6 million between periods.
Reported net earnings were $10.9 million in the first quarter of 2010, or $0.17 diluted net earnings per share, compared to net earnings of $25.9 million, or $0.52 pro forma diluted net earnings per share in the same quarter of 2009. Included in the first quarter 2010 results were costs associated with the Company's bond redemption of $16.2 million. Financial results for the first quarter of 2010 reflected a reduction of professional liability reserves related to prior years of $7.2 million compared to a prior year professional liability reserve adjustment of $18.8 million in the first quarter of 2009. Following these adjustments, diluted net earnings per share were $0.25 for first quarter 2010, compared to $0.29 for 2009.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2010 was $45.8 million compared to $59.5 million in the same quarter of 2009. Excluding the impact of the prior year professional liability reserve adjustments, Adjusted EBITDA was $38.6 million and $40.7 million, respectfully, in each period.
As of March 31, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $15.7 million and a revolving credit facility of $125.0 million (without giving effect to $7.2 million of undrawn letters of credit). As previously announced, during the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the Company redeemed $157.5 million of the 11.25% Senior Subordinated Notes which resulted in a charge of $14.9 million consisting of the payment of bond premiums in the amount of $11.0 million and the write off of $3.9 million of previously deferred financing costs. In addition, interest expense of $1.3 million was recognized on the bonds that were redeemed during the current quarter. The Company also made scheduled debt payments of $1.1 million. As a result, the Company's total outstanding debt as of March 31, 2010 was $452.5 million and there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility.
Cash flow used in operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 was $10.7 million compared to cash provided by operations of $30.3 million for the first quarter of 2009. Included within operating cash flow in 2010 were $13.8 million of cash costs associated with the bond redemption, including $2.8 million of accrued interest payments on bonds that were redeemed. In addition to the first quarter 2010 bond redemption, other elements contributing to the change in operating cash flow between quarters were increased levels of accounts receivable funding, and increases in the funding of current liabilities, including prior year incentive plan liabilities, during the first quarter of 2010 compared to 2009.
"Despite the constrained level of revenue growth in the first quarter associated with reduced patient volumes, our organization continues to be excited about the strength of our strategic position and the opportunities for profitable growth organically, by acquisition, and through opportunities in adjacent service markets over the remainder of 2010 and into subsequent years. We have a strong M&A pipeline and the current environment is yielding some very attractive growth opportunities. We have strengthened our capital structure to increase our financial flexibility and to accelerate our future cash flow and earnings growth. The strength and flexibility of our business model will continue to enable us to respond effectively to a rapidly changing and more complex competitive and regulatory environment to continue to generate consistently profitable operating results," concluded Mr. Roth.
Lynn Massingale, M.D., Executive Chairman of TeamHealth, added, "Our organization continues to be distinguished by its focus on operational excellence to ensure that we consistently provide the highest quality of care. The significant investment that we have made in proprietary IT systems supports the consistently high quality of execution while helping drive ongoing improvements in our support costs. Our recent acquisition track record shows that we are viewed as a stable and attractive partner and our continued infrastructure investments provide our hospital clients with programs to drive their achievement of patient safety, operational efficiency, and customer satisfaction goals."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation
This release includes a table that sets forth a reconciliation of net earnings to Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA under the indenture governing the 11.25% Senior Subordinated Notes is defined as net earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to exclude unusual items, non-cash items and the other adjustments shown in the table below. We believe that the disclosure of the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA provides information that is useful to an investor's understanding of our liquidity and financial flexibility. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance or liquidity under generally accepted accounting principles. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities, or any other measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Since Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure determined in accordance with GAAP and is susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
