Medical Facilities Corporation Announces Second Quarter 2022 Results
TORONTO, Aug. 11, 2022 /CNW/ - Medical Facilities Corporation ("Medical Facilities," "MFC," or the "Corporation") (TSX: DR), reported its financial results today for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022. All amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars unless indicated otherwise.
Q2 2022 Highlights
(Compared to Q2 2021)
- Surgical case volumes increased 5.6%;
- Facility service revenue increased 4.7% to $102.2 million;
- Total revenue and other income increased 4.5% to $102.5 million;
- Income from operations decreased 2.8% to $16.5 million as consolidated operating expenses increased 6.0%, largely due to the impact of volume growth and case mix on drugs and supplies, and higher wages and salaries;
- EBITDA1 was $21.5 million, a decrease of 9.1%; and,
- By the end of the quarter, MFC had repurchased nearly 1.3 million of its common shares since the commencement of its normal course issuer bid ("NCIB") in December 2021.
"Our surgical case volumes continued to improve in the quarter, particularly in the month of June, when volumes exceeded June 2021 volumes by 8.1% and June 2019, which was before the pandemic, by 8.9%," said Robert O. Horrar, President and CEO of Medical Facilities. "However, much like others in our industry, our profitability was impacted by higher labor costs and other operating expenses."
"Regardless of the future uncertainty over COVID-19 and recent cost pressures, we continue to take a balanced approach to the business. Our cash flow and balance sheet remain strong. We're paying a higher dividend per share than this time last year; we continue to buy back shares under our NCIB; and our business is well aligned for two of the major growth drivers for our industry – the aging population and the growth in outpatient procedures."

Some forward-looking statements may be identified by words like "may", "will", "anticipate", "estimate", "expect", "intend", or "continue" or the negative thereof or similar variations. Certain material factors or assumptions are applied in making forward-looking statements and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements.

1 EBITDA, cash available for distribution and payout ratio are non-IFRS financial measures. While Medical Facilities believes that these measures are useful for the evaluation and assessment of its performance, they do not have any standard meaning prescribed by IFRS, are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers, and should not be considered as alternatives to comparable measures determined in accordance with IFRS. For further information on these non-IFRS financial measures, including a reconciliation of each of these non-IFRS financial measures to the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with IFRS, please refer to Medical Facilities' most recently filed management's discussion and analysis, available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. |
