BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Oct. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — HealthSouth Corporation (NYSE: HLS), one of the nation’s largest providers of post-acute healthcare services, offering both facility-based and home-based post-acute services, today reported its results of operations for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016.
“The third quarter was another solid quarter for HealthSouth with both segments achieving strong volume, revenue, and earnings growth,” said Jay Grinney, President and Chief Executive Officer of HealthSouth. “In addition to these solid operating fundamentals, we continued to enhance the clinical collaboration between our hospitals and home health agencies in overlap markets, providing patients in these markets with enhanced, coordinated post-acute services. Since the third quarter of 2015, our clinical collaboration rate has increased by 820 basis points. We also continued to invest in future growth through the opening of three new hospitals, the acquisition of one home health agency in Arizona, and the acquisition of three hospice agencies that complement existing home health agencies in Arkansas and Texas.”

Revenue growth primarily resulted from strong volumes in both of the Company’s operating segments and included the effect of the Company’s acquisitions of Reliant Hospital Partners, LLC and affiliated entities (“Reliant”) on October 1, 2015 and CareSouth Health System, Inc. (“CareSouth”) on November 2, 2015.
The increase in income from continuing operations attributable to HealthSouth per diluted share and adjusted earnings per share primarily resulted from increased Adjusted EBITDA. Both earnings per share amounts also included the impact of higher depreciation and amortization related to acquisitions and capital investments, higher interest expense related to the financing of the Reliant and CareSouth acquisitions, and a lower share count resulting from share repurchases.
Growth in cash flows provided by operating activities for both the third quarter of 2016 and the first nine months of 2016 primarily resulted from revenue growth.
Revenue growth was the primary driver of the 20.0% increase in Adjusted EBITDA.
Growth in Adjusted EBITDA yielded increases in adjusted free cash flow for the third quarter and first nine months of 2016. Adjusted free cash flow for the third quarter of 2016 was impacted by increased working capital needs resulting primarily from the timing of payroll cycles. Adjusted free cash flow in the first nine months of 2016 included lower working capital primarily attributable to payroll-related liabilities. Both 2016 periods presented included increased cash interest expense related to the acquisitions of Reliant and CareSouth.

- Revenue – Revenue growth resulted primarily from same-store and new-store volume growth. Discharge growth from new stores resulted from the Company’s acquisition of Reliant (October 2015); the Company’s joint ventures in Hot Springs, Arkansas (February 2016), Bryan, Texas (August 2016), and Broken Arrow, Oklahoma (August 2016); and the opening of a wholly owned hospital in Franklin, Tennessee (December 2015).
Growth in net patient revenue per discharge benefited by approximately 60 basis points from an approximate $4 million indirect medical education (“IME”) adjustment associated with the former Reliant hospital in Woburn, Massachusetts. Medicare provides that hospitals with residents in an approved graduate medical education program receive an additional payment for a Medicare discharge to reflect higher patient care costs of teaching hospitals relative to non-teaching hospitals. The Company’s revenues for the third quarter of 2016 were positively impacted by this retroactive adjustment for 2014 and 2015, as well as the year-to-date period through July 2016.
The increase in outpatient and other revenues primarily was due to the acquisition of Reliant.
- Adjusted EBITDA – Inpatient rehabilitation segment Adjusted EBITDA increased by 19.5% driven primarily by revenue growth. All operating expenses as a percent of net operating revenues benefited in the third quarter of 2016 by the aforementioned IME adjustment. Salaries and benefits in the third quarter of 2016 included a year-over-year decline in group medical costs. Occupancy costs increased as a percent of net operating revenues due to the acquisition of Reliant. Bad debt expense as a percent of net operating revenues increased from 1.6% in the third quarter of 2015 to 1.8% in the third quarter of 2016 due to aging-based reserves resulting from continued administrative payment delays at the Company’s largest Medicare Administrative Contractor.

- Revenue – Revenue growth resulted from strong same-store and new-store volume growth. Growth from new stores resulted from the acquisition of CareSouth and Encompass’ other acquisitions throughout 2015.
Revenue per episode was impacted by the Medicare home health reimbursement rate cuts that became effective January 1, 2016 and lower revenue per episode at CareSouth due to patient mix.
- Adjusted EBITDA – Growth in Adjusted EBITDA resulted primarily from revenue growth. Adjusted EBITDA for the segment was impacted by lower average revenue per episode, higher cost per visit driven by an increased percentage of therapy patients, merit and benefit costs increases, and expenses related to the integration of CareSouth.
Capital Structure Transactions
In September 2016, the Company redeemed the remaining outstanding principal balance of $76 million of its 7.75% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”). Pursuant to the terms of the 2022 Notes, this optional redemption was made at a price of 102.583%, which resulted in a total cash outlay of approximately $78 million. As a result of this redemption, the Company recorded a $2.6 million loss on early extinguishment of debt in the third quarter of 2016.
“The strong operating performance of our business has driven year-to-date adjusted free cash flow growth in excess of 25%,” said Doug Coltharp, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of HealthSouth. “In addition to funding the growth opportunities in both of our business segments, our free cash flow has been deployed to reduce funded debt by approximately $161 million, resulting in a quarter-end leverage ratio of 3.8x, which is ahead of our year-end target of 4.0x.”

Other Information
The information in this press release is summarized and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 (the “September 2016 Form 10-Q”), when filed, as well as the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 27, 2016 (the “Q3 Earnings Form 8-K”), to which this press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1. In addition, the Company will post supplemental information today on its website at http://investor.healthsouth.com for reference during its October 28, 2016 earnings call.
The financial data contained in the press release and supplemental information include non-GAAP financial measures, including the Company’s adjusted earnings per share, leverage ratio, Adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted free cash flow. Reconciliations to their most comparable GAAP measure, except with regard to non-GAAP guidance, are included below or in the Q3 Earnings Form 8-K. Readers are encouraged to review the “Note Regarding Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” included in the Q3 Earnings Form 8-K which provides further explanation and disclosure regarding the Company’s use of these non-GAAP financial measures.
Excluding net operating revenues, the Company does not provide guidance on a GAAP basis because it is unable to predict, with reasonable certainty, the future impact of items that are deemed to be outside the control of the Company or otherwise non-indicative of its ongoing operations. Such items include government, class action, and related settlements; professional fees—accounting, tax, and legal; mark-to-market adjustments for stock appreciation rights; gains or losses related to hedging instruments; loss on early extinguishment of debt; adjustments to its income tax provision (such as valuation allowance adjustments and settlements of income tax claims); items related to corporate and facility restructurings; and certain other items the Company believes to be non-indicative of its ongoing operations. These items cannot be reasonably predicted and will depend on several factors, including industry and market conditions, and could be material to the Company’s results computed in accordance with GAAP.
However, the following reasonably estimable GAAP measures for 2016 would be included in the reconciliation for Adjusted EBITDA:
- Provision for doubtful accounts – estimate of 1.8% to 2.0% of net operating revenues
- Interest expense and amortization of debt discounts and fees – estimate of $170 million to $175 million
- Amortization of debt-related items – approximately $10 million
The Q3 Earnings Form 8-K and, when filed, the September 2016 Form 10-Q can be found on the Company’s website at http://investor.healthsouth.com and the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
