KNOXVILLE, Tenn., April 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- 

2013 First Quarter Highlights

  • Net revenue increased 20.3% to $575.9 million over the prior year first quarter
  • Net earnings attributable to Team Health Holdings Inc. ("Net earnings") were $18.2 million; $30.5 million after adjustments
  • Diluted net earnings per share of $0.26; Adjusted EPS of $0.44
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 18.9% to $60.2 million
  • 2013 net revenue growth is projected to be between 13.0% and 14.0%, consistent with prior guidance

Team Health Holdings Inc. ("TeamHealth" or the "Company") (NYSE: TMH), one of the largest providers of outsourced physician staffing solutions for hospitals in the United States, today announced results for its first quarter of 2013.

"We are pleased with our financial results for the first quarter of 2013. We delivered solid growth across revenue, operating cash flow, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS," said TeamHealth Chief Executive Officer, Greg Roth.

"Our financial performance this quarter once again demonstrates the consistency of our approach to achieving our financial goals through three distinct areas of growth. Our three primary growth drivers, which include same contract, acquisitions and net contract growth, all contributed to our net revenue growth of over 20% for the quarter.  Acquisitions contributed the largest component of our consolidated net revenue growth, as we benefited from transactions closed during both 2012 and the first quarter of 2013. Net new contract growth was the second largest contributor over the quarter, driven by strong performance in new contract sales. Finally, same contract revenue also contributed to growth during the quarter, driven primarily by an increase in estimated collections per visit and modest volume growth.

"Similar to other healthcare providers, we experienced a decline in volume growth during the first quarter following an early spike in the flu and very robust volume growth at the end of 2012.  As we look ahead into the remainder of 2013, we anticipate the potential for softer utilization trends during the year and project that same contract revenue growth will be slightly below our typical expectations of 4% to 6%.  However, we believe that we remain well positioned to achieve revenue and earnings growth in 2013 through all components of our business with a continued solid acquisition pipeline, as evidenced by our transaction in the Phoenix market this quarter, and ongoing opportunities for net new contract sales.  These additional growth opportunities are supported by a solid and flexible balance sheet and outstanding liquidity.   As a result, we continue to project full year 2013 annual net revenue growth of between 13% and 14% and Adjusted EBITDA margin of around 10.5%. As we have noted previously, because of the uncertainty around the criteria for hospital based physician participation and the potential benefits from Medicaid parity, we are not including in our 2013 guidance any potential financial benefit from Medicaid parity, but will report any revenue that may be realized in future quarters from this program.

"I would also like to take this opportunity to welcome Michael Snow as TeamHealth's President. Mike will play a key role in executing our strategy and his extensive healthcare experience will be an asset to our organization," concluded Mr. Roth.

Lynn Massingale, M.D., Executive Chairman of TeamHealth, added, "We are pleased with our start to 2013 and look forward to delivering strong operating and financial results for the remainder of the year. Our national infrastructure and strong physician leadership continue to drive operational improvements across our growing network of high quality affiliated providers, while making investments in patient safety, risk management, operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. As always, our priority is delivering the highest quality of patient care and our proprietary information technology systems and infrastructure investments enable us to help hospitals drive patient safety, operational efficiency and customer satisfaction goals."

2013 First Quarter Results

Net revenue increased 20.3% to $575.9 million from $478.7 million in the first quarter of 2012. Acquisitions contributed 12.9%, new contracts, net of terminations, contributed 5.2%, and same contracts contributed 2.2% of the increase in quarter-over-quarter growth in net revenue.

Same contract revenue increased $10.6 million, or 2.4%, to $457.1 million from $446.6 million in the first quarter of 2012. An increase of 2.4% in estimated collections on fee for service visits provided a 1.8% increase in same contract revenue growth between quarters while a 1.1% increase in visits contributed 0.8% to the growth.  Contract and other revenue constrained same contract revenue growth between quarters by 0.2%, due primarily to contract revenue reductions in the anesthesia and military divisions.  Acquisitions contributed $61.7 million of revenue growth, and net new contract revenue increased by $25.0 million between quarters.  No revenue has been recognized from the Medicaid parity program in the first quarter of 2013.

Reported net earnings were $18.2 million, or $0.26 diluted net earnings per share, compared to net earnings of $14.4 million, or $0.21 diluted net earnings per share, in the first quarter of 2012.  The financial results for the first quarter of 2013 included $10.3 million ($6.5 million after-tax) of contingent purchase compensation expense and non-cash amortization expense of $8.9 million ($5.9 million after tax).  Excluding these items, net earnings for the first quarter of 2013 would have been $30.5 million and Adjusted EPS would have been $0.44 per share.  Financial results for the first quarter of 2012 included an increase in prior year liability loss reserves of $5.2 million ($3.1 million after tax), $6.3 million of contingent purchase compensation expense ($3.8 million after-tax) and non-cash amortization expense of $6.1 million ($3.8 million after-tax).  Excluding these items, net earnings for the first quarter of 2012 would have been $25.2 million and Adjusted EPS would have been $0.37 per share.  See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliations" and "Adjusted Earnings Per Share" below for the definition of Adjusted EPS and its reconciliation to net earnings and diluted earnings per share attributable to Team Health Holdings, Inc.

Cash flow provided by operations for the quarter increased to $37.7 million from $14.4 million in the first quarter of 2012.  There were no contingent purchase payments made in the first quarters of 2013 or 2012.  The $23.3 million increase in operating cash flow between quarters was principally due to an increase in profitability and a decrease in working capital funding requirements. 

Adjusted EBITDA increased 18.9% to $60.2 million from $50.7 million in the first quarter of 2012, and Adjusted EBITDA margin was 10.5% compared to 10.6% for the same quarter in 2012. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliations" and "Adjusted EBITDA" below for the definitions of Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA and its reconciliation to net earnings attributable to Team Health Holdings, Inc.

As of March 31, 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $65.1 million and $250.0 million of available borrowings under its revolving credit facility (without giving effect to $6.0 million of undrawn letters of credit). The Company's total outstanding debt was $513.8 million as of March 31, 2013.

Adjusted EBITDA

We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings attributable to Team Health Holdings, Inc. before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to exclude the non-cash items and the other adjustments shown in the table below. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it assists investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance or liquidity under generally accepted accounting principles. In evaluating our performance as measured by Adjusted EBITDA, management recognizes and considers the limitations of this measure. Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect certain cash expenses that we are obligated to make, and although depreciation and amortizations are non-cash charges, assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do or may not calculate it at all, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA 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.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net earnings attributable to Team Health Holdings, Inc. to Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted Earnings Per Share

(in thousands, except per share data)

We present Adjusted earnings per share attributable to Team Health Holdings, Inc. ("Adjusted EPS") as a supplemental measure of our performance.  We define Adjusted EPS as diluted earnings per share excluding non-cash and other adjustments, including the impact of contingent purchase compensation expense and amortization expense relating to purchase accounting for historical acquisitions. We present Adjusted EPS because we believe that it assists investors in understanding the impact of acquisition-related costs on our earnings per share and comparing our performance across operating periods on a consistent basis and provides additional insight into our core earnings performance.  Adjusted EPS is not a measurement of financial performance or liquidity under generally accepted accounting principles. In evaluating our performance as measured by Adjusted EPS, management recognizes and considers the limitations of this measure. Adjusted EPS does not reflect certain cash expenses that we are obligated to make, and although contingent purchase compensation expense and amortization expense are non-cash charges in the period reported, such charges reflect historical or future cash payments in conjunction with our acquisition transactions. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EPS differently than we do or may not calculate it at all, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EPS should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, basic and diluted earnings per share, cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities, or any other measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The following tables set forth a reconciliation of diluted earnings per share to Adjusted EPS (note that some totals may not add due to rounding).
