Net Income of $1.0 million, Compared to Net Loss of $2.8 million Over Prior Year Period
Adjusted EBITDA1 of $6.7 million, Compared to $4.3 million Over Prior Year Period
HOUSTON, Nov. 6, 2017 /CNW/ -- Nobilis Health Corp. (NYSE American: HLTH) ("Nobilis" or the "Company") today announced financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017.
Third Quarter and First Nine Months Highlights
- Third quarter total revenues were $64.7 million, an 8.5% decrease over the prior year period of $70.7 million due to hurricane-related facility closures
- Third quarter Adjusted EBITDA1 was $6.7 million, a 54.8% increase compared to the prior year period of $4.3 million
- Nine months total revenues were $212.9 million, a 15.8% increase compared to the prior year period of $183.8 million
- Nine months Adjusted EBITDA1 was $18.8 million, a 42.3% increase compared to the prior year period of $13.2 million
"Despite the loss of approximately $10.0 million to $12.0 million of revenue in the third quarter from disruptions due to Hurricane Harvey, we were pleased to see continued progress with our cost reduction initiatives and improvement in operating and corporate expenses as a percentage of revenue," stated Harry Fleming, Chief Executive Officer of Nobilis Health. "Our top priority in 2017 is to streamline the company's cost structure that will provide savings not only this year, but will be a driving force behind improved company profitability in the future."
"We saw margin improvements across the board even though we lost revenue and continued to incur operating costs while off-line. Third quarter gross margin as a percent of total revenue improved to 12.8% from 9.7% in the same period last year. Gross margin as a percent of total revenue for the first nine months of 2017 improved to 12.5% from 7.4% in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA1, as a percentage of total revenues, improved to 10.4% in the third quarter of 2017 compared to 6.1% in the prior year period, and improved to 8.8% for the first nine months of 2017 compared to 7.2% in the same period the prior year."
Third Quarter 2017 Results
Total revenues for the third quarter of 2017 were $64.7 million, an 8.5% decrease from $70.7 million in the prior year period. Total case volume decreased by 1,214 cases to 3,883 cases, or 23.8%, compared to 5,097 cases in the prior corresponding period. This decrease in total revenue and case volume was due primarily to the closure of 10 facilities in the Houston market due to Hurricane Harvey. All facilities have resumed normal operation with the exception of one ASC in Dickinson, anticipated to re-open in mid to late December. Revenue per case increased to $16,650, or 20.1%, in the third quarter of 2017, as compared to $13,868 in the same period last year. The increase in revenue per case was due primarily to higher acuity cases, growth in our ancillary services and the addition of the vein business.
Net income attributable to Nobilis for the third quarter of 2017 was $1.0 million, or $0.01 per fully diluted share, compared to a net loss of $2.8 million, or $0.04 per fully diluted share, in the third quarter of 2016. Net income in the third quarter of 2017 was favorably impacted by substantial decreases in both operating and corporate expenses, as well as a tax benefit during the third quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA1 for the third quarter of 2017, which adds back certain non-cash and non-recurring expenses, was $6.7 million, an increase of 54.8% over $4.3 million in the same quarter last year.
Total cash was $34.1 million and accounts receivable was $112.4 million as of September 30, 2017, compared to $24.6 million and $125.0 million, respectively, at December 31, 2016.
Nine Months Ended 2017 Results
Total revenue for the first nine months of 2017 increased to $212.9 million, a 15.8% increase over the same prior year period. Total case volume for the first nine months of 2017 decreased by 1,023 cases to 12,911 cases, or 7.3%, compared to 13,934 cases in the same prior year period. Revenue per case increased to $16,491 or 25.0%, compared to $13,193 in the same prior year period. The increase in revenue per case was due primarily to higher acuity cases, growth in our ancillary services and the addition of the vein business.
Net income attributable to Nobilis for the first nine months of 2017 was $0.2 million, or $0.00 per fully diluted share, as compared to net loss attributable to Nobilis of $2.9 million, or $0.04 per fully diluted share, in the same prior year period.
Adjusted EBITDA1 for the first nine months of 2017 was $18.8 million, an increase of 42.3% compared to Adjusted EBITDA1 of $13.2 million for the same prior year period.
Full Year 2017 Guidance
Due to the impact of the storm in the third quarter and the potential residual effects of the storm in the fourth quarter, we expect revenue and Adjusted EBITDA1 to be at the lower end of our previous provided guidance on March 13, 2017:
- Revenue in the range of $310.0 million to $325.0 million.
- Adjusted EBITDA1 of $40.0 million to $45.0 million.

1 Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash compensation expenses, change in fair value of warrant and stock option derivative liabilities, acquisition expenses, and non-recurring expenses. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of financial performance required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). Items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is an analytical indicator used by management and the health care industry to evaluate company performance, allocate resources and measure leverage and debt service capacity. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows generated by operations, investing or financing activities, or other financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial statements as indicators of financial performance or liquidity. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
