PART I

 

Item 1. Business

As used in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the terms “USMD,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to USMD Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, “USMD”), unless otherwise stated or indicated by context.

The Business of USMD

USMD is an early-stage physician-led integrated health system committed to maintaining the vital doctor-patient relationship that we believe results in higher quality and more affordable patient care. An integrated health system is considered early-stage when it has not yet established all the components necessary to be considered a fully integrated health system. We believe that our model brings primary care and specialist physicians together and places them in their proper role as leaders of healthcare delivery and that this important shift brings quality and patient satisfaction back to the forefront by making our providers responsible for patient outcomes and the overall clinical experience. On August 31, 2012, USMD Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, combined with five business entities to form a single physician-led integrated health system.

Through our subsidiaries and affiliates, we provide healthcare services to patients and management and operational services to healthcare providers. We operate in one physician-led integrated health system segment. We provide healthcare services to patients in physician clinics, hospitals and other healthcare facilities, including cancer treatment centers and anatomical pathology and clinical laboratories. A wholly owned subsidiary of USMD is the sole member of a Texas Certified Non-Profit Health Organization that owns and operates a multi-specialty physician group practice (“USMD Physician Services”) in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas metropolitan area.

In April 2013, a subsidiary of USMD became an equal co-member of a Texas non-profit corporation that has been approved by the Texas Medical Board as a Certified Non-Profit Health Organization (“WNI-DFW”). WNI-DFW has a contractual arrangement to manage patient care by providing or arranging for the provision of all the necessary healthcare services for a health plan’s given Medicare Advantage patient population in the North Texas area served by WNI-DFW. Pursuant to the arrangement, WNI-DFW receives a fixed fee per patient under what is typically known as a “risk contract.” Risk contracting, or risk capitation, refers to a population health management model where we receive from the third party payer a fixed payment per member per month for a defined patient population to manage the healthcare of that population. In such a model, we are responsible for all cost of care of the population, subject to certain exceptions. WNI-DFW accomplishes this by managing patient care and by contracting with healthcare providers to provide needed healthcare services for the patient population. This population health management model differs from the traditional fee-for-service model where we are paid based on specific services performed. Under this model, USMD and the other member of WNI-DFW are entitled to any residual amounts and bear the risk of any deficits resulting from managing the healthcare of the population. Our WNI-DFW co-member is an industry leader in medical risk management and efficient healthcare delivery services. Under our arrangement, our co-member provides administrative services, including a utilization management function that works closely with our case management team. USMD Physician Services provides physician services to the managed patient population. We consolidate the operations of WNI-DFW into our financial statements. WNI-DFW commenced operations on June 1, 2013.

Through other wholly owned subsidiaries, we provide management and operational services to general acute care hospitals (in Arlington, Texas and Fort Worth, Texas) and provide management and/or operational services to three cancer treatment centers in three states. Of the managed entities, we have limited ownership interests in the two hospitals and one cancer treatment center. In addition, we wholly own and operate one Independent Diagnostic Testing Facility (“IDTF”), one cancer treatment center, two clinical laboratories and one anatomical pathology laboratory in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas metropolitan area. We have noncontrolling ownership interests in one cancer treatment center and one lithotripsy service provider that we do not manage. At December 31, 2015, we employed 227 physicians and 43 associate practitioners with Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Obstetrics/Gynecology, Pediatrics, Urology and 14 other medical specialties.

Historically, we have provided management and operational services to lithotripsy service providers (“Lithotripsy Services”). On December 18, 2015, we sold our Lithotripsy Services business. The sale included the management services business as well as controlling and noncontrolling interests in our lithotripsy service provider entities. We retained a noncontrolling interest in one lithotripsy service provider entity. In its existing form, the lithotripsy business was not a core component of an integrated health system and, therefore, was not aligned with the strategic objectives of the Company.

USMD Physician Services forms the core of the physician-led early-stage integrated health system based on a physician-centric approach to managing an individual’s health and associated healthcare. Our primary care physicians employ the principles of patient-centered medical home, value-based care and population health management. All of USMD’s primary care clinics have been accredited and recognized by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (“NCQA”) as Level 3 Patient-Centered Medical Homes.

This recognition means that USMD’s primary care clinics successfully display and utilize evidence-based, patient-centered processes that focus on highly coordinated patient care and long-term patient relationships. Certain physicians have also achieved Heart/Stroke and Diabetes Recognition by the NCQA. In September 2014, our primary care physicians and specialists received the prestigious Texas Physician Practice Quality Improvement Award from the TMF Health Quality Institute. This award recognizes Texas physician practices that are focused on utilizing health information technology to improve preventive care for their patients and recognizes exemplary outcomes achieved by physician practices statewide. In December 2013, our physician practice was selected by the Department of Health and Human Services as a Medicare Shared Savings Plan Accountable Care Organization (“ACO”). Physicians and patients benefit from collaborative, coordinated care within our system, which includes primary care and specialty physicians, short-stay hospitals and ancillary services. We provide care in numerous specialties including urological care in ten subspecialties. We believe our management and operational service offerings enable our physicians and clinicians to focus on patient care by reducing operational distractions and, where implemented, leveraging proven clinical care models. In addition, we provide ancillary services through our affiliated short-stay hospitals and our cancer treatments centers, laboratories and lithotripsy service providers. We believe these integrated ancillary services increase the physician’s ability to manage patient care efficiently.

During 2015, we established our first IDTF, which served its first patients in August 2015. We are also in the early stages of establishing another IDTF and consolidating numerous physician clinics into newly leased, expanded clinic locations that more effectively centralize our physicians and ancillary services. These initiatives require us to make significant capital commitments and incur significant expense. We believe these near term initiatives will have an immediate positive impact on our results of operations. In addition, management is in the process of renegotiating our third-party commercial payer contracts, which management believes will have a favorable impact on results of operations beginning in 2016. Also, we anticipate that in 2016, approximately 986 of our existing patients will convert from a fee for service model to a population health management model.

We intend to expand our physician-led integrated health system in the North Texas service area, with a specific focus on expansion of our population health management business and ancillary service offerings. Our success is dependent upon our ability to i) increase the number of physicians and specialists in our system; ii) increase our risk services managed patient populations; iii) expand the service offerings within our physician-led integrated health system – to move from an early-stage integrated health system to a fully integrated health system; iv) reasonably estimate the risk profile of patient populations and accurately document and code patient conditions within those populations; and v) control costs of care. Our near term growth and success is dependent upon our ability to execute our expansion strategy and to organize and successfully assimilate those new components into our healthcare delivery model. In addition, our current and future success is dependent upon our ability to:

 

    deliver a physician-led integrated health system experience focused on continuous improvement;

 

    optimize and standardize clinical operations and exceed industry standard clinical and patient satisfaction criteria;

 

    increase the number of patients served and patient encounters of USMD and our managed entities;

 

    establish high physician satisfaction with a physician leadership structure;

 

    align physician compensation with strategy;

 

    maintain productive relationships with physicians, hospital partners and managed care payers; and

 

    identify and optimize revenue and cost synergies within our physician-led integrated health system.

Competitive Environment

Our healthcare facilities operate in very competitive environments and we compete for patients with other integrated health systems, physician practices, hospitals, outpatient surgery centers, diagnostic facilities and other free-standing facilities. Many of these competitors have greater resources than we do, may be better equipped than we are and may offer a broader range of services than we do. Our competitors are often national or regional in scope. Our competitiveness depends on, among other things, i) the ability of our physician practice to provide quality, cost effective healthcare services, ii) the ability of our physician practice to obtain and maintain competitive contracts with managed care organizations, and iii) scaling our offerings to meet the coverage requirements of self-insured employers. We offer a patient-centered model directed by physicians. We believe that physicians can define the most effective treatment plan for patients and can best define those service requirements that will contribute to the patient’s good health or full recovery. We are working with managed care organizations on initiatives to implement professional risk capitation in the short term, as well as long term initiatives geared toward full risk capitation. We believe advancing full risk contracts will strengthen USMD and advance our vision of a fully integrated health system. We believe our physician-led model is a key differentiator.

We face competition attracting and retaining healthcare professionals, including physicians, nurses and other medical support personnel. In recent years, there has been a general shortage of these skilled professionals, particularly primary care physicians and nurses. Hospital systems specifically have increased recruitment of physician practices. We believe we offer a compelling model for physicians because physicians manage our system. Physicians report to other physicians and care is coordinated by physicians. A highly competent and professional team manages the operation that supports our physicians, but those professionals report to physician leadership. We believe our physician-led, professionally-managed, quality-oriented environment represents an advantage for recruiting and retaining physicians.

Sources of Revenue

– Net Patient Service Revenue

We earn net patient service revenue (“NPSR”) through the provision of healthcare services to patients at our clinics and other healthcare facilities. Our NPSR is driven by a patient encounter at one of our physician clinics. A patient sees the physician at one of our clinics and the physician may prescribe services that may be performed at one of our imaging centers, diagnostic laboratories, cancer treatment center or other affiliated healthcare facilities. The NPSR earned at our imaging centers, diagnostic laboratories and cancer treatment center is almost exclusively derived from the physician clinic patient encounter. Our imaging centers, diagnostic laboratories and cancer treatment center only nominally serve patients or conduct tests not derived from our physician clinic patient encounter. We record patient service revenue at the time healthcare services are provided.

We are paid for our services by managed care providers and commercial insurers, governmental agencies, such as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”), and the patients we serve. We have entered into agreements with the third-party payers under which we are paid based upon contractually defined criteria that generally result in reimbursement amounts that are less than our established billing rates; patient service revenue is recorded net of these contractual allowances and discounts. To provide for patients’ accounts receivable that could become uncollectible in the future, we establish an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce the carrying value of such receivables to their estimated net realizable value. Accordingly, NPSR is reported at the net amount expected to be received. NPSR is primarily affected by patient encounter volume, payer mix, the mix of services provided to the patients and estimated collections.

Our patient service revenue before the provision for doubtful accounts by payer is summarized in the table that follows (dollars in thousands):

We derive a significant portion of our revenues from managed care and commercial payers and Medicare, all of whom receive discounts from our customary charges. We estimate discounts off our customary charges at the point the charges are captured concurrent with the date of service to derive net realizable revenue. Discounts off customary charges result from the reduction of our customary charges to prospectively established fee schedule amounts and other contract provisions. The estimates of contractual allowances on charges posted for the period involve payer-specific estimates of net revenue based on the most significant contractual reimbursement methodologies, such as percent of charges, fixed fee schedules and multi-procedure discounting. However, the calculations do not take into consideration all contract provisions that may limit reimbursement, but provide an estimate of net realizable value. Revenue is adjusted to actual when the parties (insurer and patient/guarantor) obligated under the contract have tendered payment on the claim. Historically, these payment adjustments have not been material. As we execute our strategic plan and expand our services and the number of patients we serve, the above ratios may vary significantly.

Laws and regulations governing Medicare and Medicaid programs are complex and subject to interpretation. We believe that we are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and are not aware of any pending or threatened investigations involving allegations of potential wrongdoing that would have a material effect on our financial statements. Compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation as well as significant regulatory action including fines, penalties and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs.

Managed Care and Other Commercial Payers

Managed care providers, including health maintenance organizations, preferred provider organizations, other private insurance companies and employers, are organizations that provide insurance coverage and a network of healthcare providers to members for a fixed monthly premium. To attract additional patient volume, our physicians and facilities enter into contractual arrangements with managed care providers and other commercial payers that give the managed care organization the ability to market access to our physicians and facilities. Under these arrangements, we are paid generally based upon fixed fees or modified fixed fees that may vary based on the basket of services provided during the patient encounter. Reimbursement is less than our customary charges. These arrangements generally have a fixed (initial) term and renewal provisions and often limit our ability to increase reimbursement in response to increasing costs during the contract term. Our managed care contracts are subject to periodic renewal ranging from one to three years. The vast majority of our contracts are tied to annual Medicare updates as the mechanism for rate changes during the contract term. Reimbursement rates under these arrangements are contractually pegged to federal Medicare program annual rate changes; unfavorable adjustments to the Medicare program reimbursement rates will similarly affect our reimbursement rates under these arrangements. We could potentially negotiate modifications to current contracts in order to improve reimbursement rates, but with no guarantee of success.

Patients who are members of managed care plans are not required to pay us for their healthcare services except for coinsurance and deductible portions of their plan coverage calculated after managed care discounts have been applied. While the majority of our patient service revenues are generated from patients covered by managed care plans, the percentage may decrease in the future as we develop and expand our physician-led integrated health system, as the aging U.S. population shifts to Medicare and Medicaid utilization and as more uninsured Americans become covered under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, the “Healthcare Reform Law”).

Medicare Reimbursement

Medicare is a federal program that provides certain hospital and medical insurance benefits to persons aged 65 and over, some disabled persons and persons with Lou Gehrig’s disease and persons with end-stage renal disease. Medicare, through statutes and regulations, establishes reimbursement methodologies and rates for various types of healthcare facilities and services. Physician services are reimbursed under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (“PFS”) system, under which CMS have assigned a national relative value unit (“RVU”) to most medical procedures and services that reflects the various resources required by a physician to provide the services relative to all other services. Each RVU is calculated based on a combination of work required in terms of time and intensity of effort for the service, practice expense (overhead) attributable to the service and malpractice insurance expense attributable to the service. These three elements are modified by a geographic adjustment factor to account for local practice costs and are then aggregated. Historically, the aggregated amount was multiplied by a conversion factor (calculated by using the sustainable growth rate (“SGR”)) to arrive at the payment amount for each service. However, on April 16, 2015, President Obama signed the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (“MACRA”) that repealed the SGR physician payment methodology. Instead of tying payments to the SGR, MACRA provided for a 0.5% increase in rates for July 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015 and for each calendar year thereafter through 2019. PFS payment rates would then remain at their 2019 levels through the end of 2025. Beginning in 2019, amounts paid to individual physicians would be subject to adjustment through either the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (“MIPS”) or the Alternative Payment Model (“APM”) program. Physicians who participate in the MIPS program, which would essentially consolidate the existing Physician Quality Reporting System, the Value-Based Modifier, and the meaningful use of certified electronic health record (“EHR”) technology incentive programs, would be subject to positive, zero, or negative performance adjustments depending on how the physician’s performance compared to a performance threshold. In addition, from 2019 through 2024, MACRA provides an additional $500 million per year for an additional performance adjustment for physicians who participate in MIPS and achieve exceptional performance. Physicians who participate in an APM program and receive a substantial amount of their revenue from an alternative payment model would receive, from 2019 through 2024, a lump-sum payment equal to 5% of their Medicare payments in the prior year for services paid under the PFS. Beginning in 2026, PFS payment rates for physicians participating in an APM program would be increased by 0.75% a year. Payments for other providers would be increased by 0.25% per year.

In August 2011, Congress enacted the Budget Control Act of 2011 (“BCA”), which committed the U.S. government to significantly reduce the federal deficit over ten years. The BCA provides for spending on program integrity initiatives intended to reduce fraud and abuse under the Medicare program. The BCA requires automatic spending reductions of $1.2 trillion for federal fiscal years 2013 through 2021, minus any deficit reductions enacted by Congress and debt service costs. However, the percentage reduction for Medicare may not be more than 2% for a fiscal year, with a uniform percentage reduction across all Medicare programs. These automatic spending reductions are commonly referred to as “sequestration.” Sequestration began on March 1, 2013, with CMS imposing a 2% reduction on Medicare claims beginning April 1, 2013. These spending reductions have been extended through federal fiscal year 2025. We cannot predict what other deficit reduction initiatives may be proposed by the President or the Congress or whether the President and the Congress will restructure or suspend sequestration. Changes in the law to end or restructure sequestration may cause greater spending reductions than required by the BCA.

Medicaid

Medicaid programs are funded by both the federal government and state governments to provide healthcare benefits to certain low-income individuals and groups. These programs and the reimbursement methodologies are administered by the states and may vary from year to year. Most state Medicaid program payments are made under a prospective payment system fee schedule, cost reimbursement programs or some combination of these three methods. Medicaid reimbursement is less than Medicare reimbursement for the same services and is often less than the cost of the services provided. Our Medicaid revenues are derived entirely from the federal government and the state of Texas.

The Healthcare Reform Law includes provisions allowing states to significantly expand their Medicaid program coverage. However, states that elect not to implement the law’s Medicaid expansion provisions may do so without the loss of existing federal Medicaid funding. As a result, a number of state governors and legislatures, including Texas, have chosen not to participate in the expanded Medicaid program.

Self-Pay

Self-pay revenue refers to i) revenues from patients that are not covered by commercial insurance or government programs for which the patient is individually responsible for the entire amount charged and ii) the patient portion of insured accounts. In order to mitigate self-pay collection risks, we utilize pay-up-front policies where practical.

– Capitated Revenue

WNI-DFW, a consolidated variable interest entity, earns capitated revenue (fixed payment per member per month) by contracting with an entity that operates a health services company that contracts directly with a health plan. Capitated revenue is prepaid monthly based on the number of Medicare Advantage members of the health plan network electing WNI-DFW primary care physicians as their healthcare provider, regardless of actual medical services utilized. Capitated revenue is reported as revenue in the month in which members are entitled to receive healthcare.

– Management and Other Services Revenue

We earn management services revenue through the provision of management and operational support services to our managed healthcare entities pursuant to long-term contractual arrangements. We earn management services revenue primarily through services provided to USMD Hospital at Arlington, L.P. (“USMD Arlington”) and USMD Hospital at Fort Worth, L.P. (“USMD Fort Worth”). Management fees are based on a percentage of each hospital’s adjusted NPSR, as contractually defined. Hospital NPSR depends on a variety of factors, such as surgical case volume, the case mix or intensity of utilization of services and the mix of third-party payer sources. We also earn management services revenue through the provision of broad-based management and clinical services to cancer treatment centers and, prior to the sale of the Lithotripsy Services business, to lithotripsy service providers. Management fees are based on defined criteria, generally a percentage of cash collections, and revenue is recognized as services are provided. In addition, we provide managed entities with management, information technology, operations and/or revenue cycle support, or a subset of those support services. The costs of providing those support services are reimbursed to us by the managed entities and are included in management services revenue.

We earn other services revenue through the provision of healthcare information technology consulting services to third parties.

– Lithotripsy Services Revenue

Prior to the sale of the Lithotripsy Services business, we consolidated 17 lithotripsy service provider entities that we controlled as the general partner or managing member and we wholly owned two lithotripsy service providers. Lithotripsy services revenue was recognized through the provision of lithotripsy services to hospitals and other healthcare entities by the lithotripsy entities we consolidated.

Regulatory Matters

The healthcare industry is heavily regulated through extensive and complex federal and state laws, rules and regulations. These rules and regulations are often subject to differing interpretations and often change, and new rules and regulations are enacted. For example, federal healthcare reform legislation signed into law in 2010 contains numerous provisions that may reshape the United States healthcare delivery system, and these provisions go into effect at various times over a several year period. Healthcare reform continues to attract significant legislative interest, legal challenges and public attention that create uncertainty and the potential for additional changes. Healthcare reform implementation, additional legislation or other changes in government regulation may affect our reimbursement, restrict our existing operations, limit the expansion of our business or impose additional compliance requirements and costs in ways we cannot predict.

Corporate Practice of Medicine

The State of Texas has adopted a legal doctrine known as the “corporate practice of medicine,” which generally prohibits licensed physicians from entering into partnerships, employee relationships, fee-splitting, or other relationships with non-physicians where the physician’s practice of medicine is in any way directed by, or fees are shared with, a non-physician. Under the Texas corporate practice of medicine doctrine, it is unlawful for any for-profit corporation to employ physicians that provide professional medical services. There are recognized exceptions to this general prohibition. One such exception authorizes the Texas Medical Board to certify a non-profit corporation as a Certified Non-Profit Health Organization, and an entity so certified may employ physicians, or may own certain subsidiaries that employ physicians, who provide professional medical services to patients. There are many prerequisites to certification, and several of them are intended to ensure that licensed physicians make all decisions related to patient care.

USMD Physician Services, an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of USMD, has been certified by the Texas Medical Board as a Certified Non-Profit Health Organization. USMD Physician Services, directly or through subsidiaries it owns, employs physicians who provide professional medical services to patients. USMD Physician Services has entered into a long-term management contract with a wholly owned physician practice management subsidiary to obtain management services for it and its subsidiaries. These management services include non-medical management, operational and administrative services. The managing entity is prohibited from offering medical services or exercising any influence or control over the practice of medicine by USMD Physician Services and its physicians. We believe this arrangement is compliant under the corporate practice of medicine doctrine and related healthcare laws and regulations.

Licensure, Certification and Accreditation

The construction and operation of healthcare facilities are subject to numerous federal, state and local regulations relating to the adequacy of medical care, equipment, personnel, operating policies and procedures, maintenance of adequate records, fire prevention, rate-setting and compliance with building codes and environmental protection laws. In addition, healthcare facilities are subject to periodic inspection by governmental and other authorities to ensure continued compliance with licensing and accreditation standards. We operate many healthcare facilities that are subject to such rules and regulations, and we are paid to manage the construction and operation of facilities for third parties that are subject to these rules and regulations. We believe the healthcare facilities we operate and manage are properly licensed under applicable state laws. The hospitals we own in part and manage are certified for participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs and are accredited by The Joint Commission. If a healthcare facility we operate or manage were to lose its Medicare or Medicaid certification, the facility would be unable to receive reimbursement from federal healthcare programs, which could also affect its entitlement to receive money under contracts with non-government payers. If such a facility were to lose accreditation by The Joint Commission, the facility could be subject to additional state surveys, and increased scrutiny by CMS and other non-government payers. Management believes our facilities are in substantial compliance with current applicable federal, state, local and independent review body regulations and standards. The requirements for licensure, certification and accreditation are subject to change and, in the future, we may be required to make changes in our facilities, equipment, personnel and services to remain in compliance. The requirements for licensure, certification and accreditation also include notification or approval in the event of the transfer or change of ownership or certain other changes. Failure to provide required notifications or obtain necessary approvals in these circumstances can result in the inability to complete an acquisition or change of ownership, loss of licensure or other penalties.

Certificates of Need

In some states where we develop, manage and operate healthcare facilities, the construction or expansion of healthcare facilities, the acquisition of existing facilities, the transfer or change of ownership and the addition of new beds or services may be subject to review by and prior approval of, or notifications to, state regulatory agencies under a “Certificate of Need” program. While Texas is not currently a Certificate of Need state, it and other states where currently no such program exists could choose to enact a Certificate of Need program in the future. Such laws generally require a reviewing state agency to determine the public need for additional or expanded healthcare facilities and services. The process is expensive and time consuming, and there is no guarantee that the reviewing agency will authorize the development or expansion of facilities that is sought.

Federal Anti-Kickback Statute

A section of the Social Security Act known as the federal “Anti-Kickback Statute” prohibits providers and others from soliciting, receiving, offering or paying, directly or indirectly, any remuneration with the intent of generating referrals or orders for services or items covered by a federal healthcare program. Courts have interpreted this statute broadly and have held that there is a violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute if just one purpose of the remuneration is to generate referrals, even if there are other lawful purposes. Knowledge of the Anti-Kickback Statute or the intent to violate the law is not required. Violation of this statute is a felony, including criminal penalties of imprisonment or criminal fines up to $25,000 for each violation, but it also includes civil money penalties of up to $50,000

Table of Contents

per violation, damages of up to three times the total amount of the improper payment to the referral source and exclusion from participation in Medicare, Medicaid or other federal healthcare programs. In addition, the submission of a claim for services or items generated in violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim and may be subject to additional penalties under the federal False Claims Act.

The Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) Office of Inspector General (“OIG”) have published safe harbor regulations that outline categories of activities that are deemed protected from prosecution under the Anti-Kickback Statute. Currently there are safe harbors for various activities, including the following: investment interests, space rental, equipment rental, practitioner recruitment, personal services and management contracts, sale of practice, referral services, warranties, discounts, employees, group purchasing organizations, waiver of beneficiary coinsurance and deductible amounts, managed care arrangements, obstetrical malpractice insurance subsidies, investments in group practices, ambulatory surgery centers and referral agreements for specialty services. The fact that conduct or a business arrangement does not fall within a safe harbor does not automatically render the conduct or business arrangement illegal under the Anti-Kickback Statute. The conduct or business arrangement, however, does increase the risk of scrutiny by government enforcement authorities.

We are owned in part by physicians, and members of our Board of Directors and executive management team include licensed physicians. USMD and its subsidiaries have a variety of financial relationships with physicians who refer patients to facilities we own and operate. In addition, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries is the sole member of USMD Physician Services, which through its wholly owned subsidiary employs licensed physicians who provide professional medical services to patients. USMD and its subsidiaries have structured all financial and other relationships with physicians and other healthcare providers to ensure that they do not violate the Anti-Kickback Statute or any other healthcare fraud and abuse law or regulation.

The OIG, among other regulatory agencies, is responsible for identifying and eliminating fraud, abuse and waste. The OIG carries out this mission through a nationwide program of audits, investigations and inspections. In order to provide guidance to healthcare providers, the OIG has from time to time issued “fraud alerts” that, although they do not have the force of law, identify features of a transaction that may indicate that the transaction could violate the Anti-Kickback Statute or other federal healthcare laws. The OIG has identified several incentive arrangements as potential violations, including:

 

    payment of any incentive by the hospital when a physician refers a patient to the hospital;

 

    use of free or significantly discounted office space or equipment for physicians in facilities usually located close to the hospital;

 

    provision of free or significantly discounted billing, nursing or other staff services;

 

    free training for a physician’s office staff, including management and laboratory techniques;

 

    guarantees that provide that, if the physician’s income fails to reach a predetermined level, the hospital will pay any portion of the remainder;

 

    low-interest or interest-free loans, or loans which may be forgiven, if a physician refers patients to the hospital;

 

    payment of the costs of a physician’s travel and expenses for conferences or a physician’s continuing education courses;

 

    coverage on the hospital’s group health insurance plans at an inappropriately low cost to the physician;

 

    rental of space in physician offices, at other than fair market value terms, by persons or entities to which physicians refer;

 

    payment of services which require few, if any, substantive duties by the physician, or payment for services in excess of the fair market value of the services rendered; or

 

    “gain sharing,” the practice of giving physicians a share of any reduction in a hospital’s costs for patient care attributable in part to the physician’s efforts.

The OIG has encouraged persons having information about healthcare providers who offer or accept the types of incentives listed above to report such information to the OIG. The OIG also issues “Special Advisory Bulletins” as a means of providing guidance to healthcare providers. These bulletins, along with other “fraud alerts,” have focused on certain arrangements between physicians and providers that could be subject to heightened scrutiny by government enforcement authorities. In addition to issuing fraud alerts and Special Advisory Bulletins, the OIG from time to time issues compliance program guidance for certain types of healthcare providers. This guidance identifies risk areas under federal fraud and abuse laws and regulations that are specific to certain providers, such as hospitals, physician group practices, or ambulatory surgery centers.

We have implemented a compliance program and established a number of policies and procedures intended to ensure that our arrangements with physicians and other healthcare providers comply with current laws and applicable regulations.

The Stark Law

The Social Security Act also includes a provision commonly known as the “Stark Law.” This law prohibits physicians from referring Medicare and (to an extent) Medicaid patients to entities with which they or any of their immediate family members have a financial relationship for the provision of certain designated health services that are reimbursable by Medicare or Medicaid, including inpatient and outpatient hospital services, unless the financial relationship satisfies a recognized Stark Law exception. The law also prohibits an entity from billing the Medicare or Medicaid program for any items or services related to a prohibited referral. Sanctions for violating the Stark Law include denial of payment, refunding amounts received for services provided pursuant to prohibited referrals, civil money penalties of up to $15,000 per item or service improperly billed and exclusion from the federal healthcare programs. The statute also provides for a penalty of up to $100,000 for a circumvention scheme.

A financial arrangement can be an ownership interest in an entity and can also be a compensation arrangement with an entity. There are a number of exceptions to the Stark Law for financial arrangements between physicians and providers. These include employment contracts, leases of space and equipment, the ownership of publicly traded securities of a company with stockholder’s equity in excess of $75 million dollars, professional services agreements, ownership of a “whole hospital,” certain non-cash gifts, recruitment agreements, and others. A financial arrangement must comply with every element of a Stark Law exception or the arrangement in question is not excepted, and referrals between the two parties are prohibited by the Stark Law.

Many physicians that refer patients to facilities owned and operated by USMD and its subsidiaries own common stock of USMD. We believe that the ownership of USMD common stock satisfies all of the elements of a recognized Stark Law exception for the ownership of stock of a public company, in pertinent part because USMD common stock is traded on a national exchange and USMD has stockholder equity in excess of $75 million dollars. In addition, many physicians possess ownership interests in partnerships that own hospitals owned in part and managed by USMD. We believe that physician ownership of these entities satisfies all of the elements of the Stark Law’s “Whole Hospital” exception. However, the Healthcare Reform Law prohibits newly created physician owned hospitals from billing for Medicare patients referred by their physician owners, and while it grandfathers existing physician owned hospitals, it does not allow these hospitals to increase aggregate physician ownership, and it significantly restricts their ability to expand services. While some providers and special interest groups are challenging this new law in court, as of this date, it remains in effect. There has been considerable opposition from health systems and others to the expansion of physician owned hospitals during the last 15 years, and it is uncertain what additional rules and regulations may be implemented and how they may affect our business.

CMS has issued three phases of final regulations implementing the Stark Law. Phases I and II became effective in January 2002 and July 2004, respectively, and Phase III became effective in December 2007. While these regulations help clarify the requirements of the exceptions to the Stark Law, it is unclear how the government may interpret many of these exceptions for future enforcement purposes. In addition, these rules and regulations are subject to constant change in form and interpretation. For example, in July 2008, CMS issued a final rule which effectively prohibited many “under arrangements” ventures between a hospital and any referring physician or entity owned, in whole or in part, by a referring physician that had been compliant prior to that date. The new regulations also effectively prohibited unit-of-service-based or “per click” compensation and percentage-based compensation in office space and equipment leases between a provider and any referring physician or entity owned, in whole or in part, by a referring physician.

USMD and its subsidiaries expend considerable time and resources to ensure that all financial and referral arrangements between USMD, its subsidiaries and physicians comply with the Stark Law. However, because the Stark Law and its implementing regulations continue to evolve, we do not always have the benefit of significant regulatory or judicial interpretation of this law and its regulations. We attempt to structure our relationships to meet an exception to the Stark Law, but the regulations implementing the exceptions are detailed and complex, and we cannot ensure that every relationship at all times complies fully with the Stark Law. In addition, in the July 2008 final Stark rule, CMS indicated that it will continue to enact further regulations tightening aspects of the Stark Law that it perceives allow for Medicare program abuse, especially those regulations that still permit physicians to profit from their referrals of ancillary services.

Our operations could be adversely affected by the failure of our arrangements to comply with the Anti-Kickback Statute, the Stark Law, billing laws and regulations, current state laws or other legislation or regulations in these areas adopted in the future. We are unable to predict whether other legislation or regulations at the federal or state level in any of these areas will be adopted, what form such legislation or regulations may take or how they may impact our operations. We strive to enter into new financial arrangements with physicians and other providers in a manner structured to comply in all material respects with these laws.

The Federal False Claims Act and Similar State Laws

The qui tam, or whistleblower, provisions of the federal False Claims Act (“FCA”) allow private individuals to bring actions on behalf of the government alleging that the defendant has defrauded the federal government. Further, the government may use the FCA to prosecute Medicare and other government program fraud in areas such as coding errors, billing for services not provided and submitting false cost reports. When a private party brings a qui tam action under the FCA, the defendant is not made aware of the lawsuit until the government has concluded its own investigation or otherwise determined whether it will intervene.

If a defendant is found liable under the FCA, the defendant may be required to pay three times the actual damages sustained by the government, plus mandatory civil penalties of between $5,500 and $11,000 for each separate false claim. There are many potential bases for liability under the FCA. Liability often arises when an entity knowingly submits a false claim for reimbursement to the federal government. The FCA defines the term “knowingly” broadly. Though simple negligence will not give rise to liability under the FCA, submitting a claim with reckless disregard to its truth or falsity constitutes a “knowing” submission under the FCA and, therefore, may create liability. The Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act of 2009 expanded the scope of the FCA by, among other things, creating liability for knowingly and improperly avoiding repayment of an overpayment received from the government and broadening protections for whistleblowers. Under the Healthcare Reform Law, the FCA is implicated by the knowing failure to report and return an overpayment within 60 days of identifying the overpayment or by the date a corresponding cost report is due, whichever is later.

In some cases, whistleblowers and the federal government have taken the position, and some courts have held, that providers who allegedly have violated other statutes, such as the Anti-Kickback Statute and the Stark Law, have thereby submitted false claims under the FCA. The Healthcare Reform Law clarifies this issue with respect to the Anti-Kickback Statute by providing that submission of claims for services or items generated in violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim under the FCA. Every entity that receives at least $5 million annually in Medicaid payments must have written policies for all employees, contractors or agents, providing detailed information about false claims, false statements and whistleblower protections under certain federal laws, including the FCA, and similar state laws. In addition, federal law provides an incentive to states to enact false claims laws comparable to the FCA. A number of states in which we operate, including Texas, have adopted their own false claims provisions as well as their own whistleblower provisions under which a private party may file a civil lawsuit in state court. We have adopted and distributed policies pertaining to the FCA and relevant state laws to all employees and they are a part of our compliance program and Code of Conduct.

HIPAA and Related Security Requirements

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) requires the use of uniform electronic data transmission standards for certain healthcare claims and payment transactions submitted or received electronically, in order to encourage the conducting of commerce electronically. HHS has issued regulations implementing the HIPAA Administrative Simplification Provisions and compliance with these regulations is mandatory for certain of our facilities. The Healthcare Reform Law requires HHS to adopt standards for additional electronic transactions and to establish operating rules to promote uniformity in the implementation of each standardized electronic transaction. As part of these standards, each provider must use a National Provider Identifier, and CMS requires the use of updated standard code sets for certain diagnoses and procedures known as ICD-10 code sets. Implementing the ICD-10 code sets required significant administrative changes, investment in coding technology and software as well as the training of staff involved in the coding and billing process. In addition to these upfront costs of transition to ICD-10, it is possible that our clinics could experience disruption or delays in payment due to technical or coding errors or other implementation issues involving our systems or the systems and implementation efforts of health plans and their business partners. Further, the transition to the more detailed ICD-10 coding system could result in decreased reimbursement if the use of ICD-10 codes result in conditions being reclassified to payment groupings with lower levels of reimbursement than codes assigned under the previous system. However, we believe that the cost of compliance with these regulations has not had, and is not expected to have, a material adverse effect on our cash flows, financial position or results of operations. By regulation, use of the ICD-10 code sets began October 1, 2015.

The privacy and security regulations promulgated under HIPAA extensively regulate the use and disclosure of individually identifiable health information and require covered entities, including health plans and most healthcare providers, to implement administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect the security of such information. The application of certain provisions of the security and privacy regulations has been proposed to be extended to business associates (entities that handle identifiable health information on behalf of covered entities) and subjects business associates to civil and criminal penalties for violation of the regulations. If this proposal is enacted, these changes would likely require amendments to existing agreements with business associates and would subject business associates and their subcontractors to direct liability under the HIPAA privacy and security regulations. We currently enforce a HIPAA compliance plan, which we believe complies with HIPAA privacy and security requirements and under which a HIPAA compliance group monitors our compliance. The privacy regulations and security regulations have and will continue to impose significant costs on our facilities and on our entities that manage other healthcare providers’ businesses in order to comply with these standards.

Table of Contents

Covered entities are required by law to report breaches of unsecured protected health information to affected individuals without unreasonable delay but not to exceed 60 days of discovery of the breach by a covered entity or its agents. Notification must also be made to HHS and, in certain situations involving large breaches, to the media. HHS is required to publish on its website a list of all covered entities that report a breach involving more than 500 individuals. Various state laws and regulations may also require us to notify affected individuals in the event of a data breach involving individually identifiable information.

Violations of the HIPAA privacy and security regulations may result in civil and criminal penalties. In addition, there are numerous other laws and legislative and regulatory initiatives at the federal and state levels addressing privacy and security concerns. Our facilities remain subject to any federal or state privacy-related laws that are more restrictive than the privacy regulations issued under HIPAA. These laws vary and could impose additional penalties and costs to our businesses.

Regulation of Clinical Laboratories

The Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (“CLIA”) extended federal oversight to virtually all clinical laboratories by requiring that they be certified by the federal government or by a federally-approved accreditation agency. CLIA requires that all clinical laboratories meet quality assurance, quality control and personnel standards. Standards for testing under CLIA are based on the complexity of the tests performed by the laboratory, with tests classified as “high complexity,” “moderate complexity,” or “waived.”

Laboratories performing high complexity testing are required to meet more stringent requirements than moderate complexity laboratories. Laboratories performing only waived tests, which are tests determined to have a low potential for error and requiring little oversight, may apply for a certificate of waiver exempting them from most of the requirements of CLIA. Several facilities operated or managed by USMD and its subsidiaries are CLIA certified to perform high complexity testing. In addition, we manage several smaller testing sites that are authorized under CLIA to perform moderate complexity testing or have received certificate of waiver. The sanctions for failure to comply with CLIA requirements include suspension, revocation or limitation of a laboratory’s CLIA certificate, which is necessary to conduct business, cancellation or suspension of the laboratory’s approval to receive Medicare and/or Medicaid reimbursement, as well as significant fines and/or criminal penalties.

We are also subject to state and local laboratory regulation. We believe that we are in compliance with all applicable laboratory requirements, but these regulations are subject to expansion, amendment or changes in interpretation. Our laboratories, and those we manage, have continuing programs to ensure that operations meet all regulatory requirements.

Accountable Care Organizations and Pilot Projects.

The Affordable Care Act requires HHS to establish a Medicare Shared Savings Program that promotes accountability and coordination of care through the creation of ACOs. The program allows providers, physicians and other designated professionals and suppliers to form ACOs and voluntarily work together to invest in infrastructure and redesign delivery processes to achieve high quality and efficient delivery of services. The program is intended to produce savings as a result of improved quality and operational efficiency. ACOs that achieve quality performance standards established by HHS will be eligible to share in a portion of the amounts saved by the Medicare program. HHS has significant discretion to determine key elements of the program, including what steps providers must take to be considered an ACO, how to decide if Medicare program savings have occurred, and what portion of such savings will be paid to ACOs. In addition, HHS will determine to what degree hospitals, physicians and other eligible participants will be able to form and operate an ACO without violating certain existing laws, including the Civil Monetary Penalty Law, the Anti-Kickback Statute and the Stark law. However, the Affordable Care Act does not authorize HHS to waive other laws that may impact the ability of hospitals and other eligible participants to participate in ACOs, such as antitrust laws.

Environmental Regulation

We are subject to compliance with various federal, state and local environmental laws, rules and regulations, including the disposal of medical waste generated by our healthcare facilities. Our environmental compliance costs are not significant and we do not anticipate that they will be significant in the future.

Antitrust Laws

The federal government and most states have enacted antitrust laws that prohibit certain types of conduct deemed to be anti-competitive. These laws prohibit price fixing, concerted refusal to deal, market monopolization, price discrimination, tying arrangements, acquisitions of competitors and other practices that have, or may have, an adverse effect on competition. Violations of federal or state antitrust laws can result in various sanctions, including criminal and civil penalties. Antitrust enforcement in the healthcare industry is currently a priority of the Federal Trade Commission. We believe we are in compliance with such federal and state laws.

Other Fraud and Abuse Provisions

The Social Security Act also imposes criminal and civil penalties for submitting false claims to Medicare and Medicaid. False claims include billing for services not rendered, misrepresenting actual services rendered in order to obtain higher reimbursement and cost report fraud. Like the Anti-Kickback Statute, these provisions are very broad. Further, the Social Security Act contains civil penalties for conduct including improper coding and billing for unnecessary goods and services. Civil penalties may be imposed for the failure to report and return an overpayment within 60 days of identifying the overpayment or by the date a corresponding cost report is due, whichever is later. To avoid liability, providers must, among other things, carefully and accurately code claims for reimbursement, promptly return overpayments and accurately prepare cost reports.

HIPAA broadened the scope of the fraud and abuse laws by adding several criminal provisions for healthcare fraud offenses that apply to all health benefit programs. HIPAA also created new enforcement mechanisms to combat fraud and abuse, including the Medicaid Integrity Program and an incentive program under which individuals can receive up to $1,000 for providing information on Medicare fraud and abuse that leads to the recovery of at least $100 of Medicare funds. In addition, federal enforcement officials now have the ability to exclude from Medicare and Medicaid any investors, officers and managing employees associated with business entities that have committed healthcare fraud. Additionally, HIPAA establishes a violation for the payment of inducements to Medicare or Medicaid beneficiaries in order to influence those beneficiaries to order or receive services from a particular provider or practitioner.

Some of these provisions, including the federal Civil Monetary Penalty Law, require a lower burden of proof than other fraud and abuse laws, including the Anti-Kickback Statute. Civil monetary penalties that may be imposed under the federal Civil Monetary Penalty Law range from $10,000 to $50,000 per act, and in some cases may result in penalties of up to three times the remuneration offered, paid, solicited or received. In addition, a violator may be subject to exclusion from federal and state healthcare programs. Federal and state governments increasingly use the federal Civil Monetary Penalty Law, especially where they believe they cannot meet the higher burden of proof requirements under the Anti-Kickback Statute.

Compliance Program

We maintain a compliance program that reflects our commitment to complying with laws and regulations applicable to our business and meeting our ethical obligations in conducting our business (the “Compliance Program”). We believe our Compliance Program provides a solid framework to meet this commitment; the Compliance Program includes the following:

 

    a Chief Compliance Officer who reports to the Board of Directors on a regular basis;

 

    a Corporate Compliance Committee consisting of our senior executives;

 

    our Code of Conduct, which is applicable to our employees, independent contractors, officers and directors;

 

    a disclosure program that includes a mechanism to enable individuals to disclose to the Chief Compliance Officer, or any person who is not in the disclosing individual’s chain of command, issues or questions believed by the individual to be a potential violation of criminal, civil or administrative laws;

 

    an organizational structure designed to integrate our compliance objectives into our corporate and practice levels; and

 

    education, auditing, monitoring and corrective action programs designed to establish methods to promote the understanding of our Compliance Program and adherence to its requirements.

The foundation of our Compliance Program is our Code of Conduct, which is intended to be a comprehensive statement of the ethical and legal standards governing the daily activities of our employees, affiliated professionals, independent contractors, officers and directors. All our personnel are required to abide by and annually attest to reading and complying with the Code of Conduct. In addition, all employees and affiliated professionals are expected to report incidents that they believe in good faith may be in violation of our Code of Conduct. We maintain a toll-free hotline to permit individuals to report compliance concerns on an anonymous basis and obtain answers to questions about our Code of Conduct. Our Compliance Program, including our Code of Conduct, is administered by our Chief Compliance Officer with oversight by our Chief Executive Officer, Corporate Compliance Committee and Board of Directors. Copies of our Code of Conduct are available on our website, www.usmd.com. Our Internet website and the information contained therein or connected thereto are not incorporated into or deemed a part of this Form 10-K.

Professional and General Liability Coverage

We maintain professional and general liability insurance policies with third-party insurers, subject to deductibles, policy aggregates, exclusions and other restrictions, in accordance with standard industry practice. We believe that our insurance coverage is appropriate based upon our claims experience and the nature and risks of our business. Our business entails an inherent risk of claims of

medical malpractice against our physicians and us. We contract and pay premiums for professional liability insurance that indemnifies us and our healthcare professionals on a claims-made basis for losses incurred related to medical malpractice litigation. Professional liability coverage is required in order for our physicians to maintain hospital privileges.

Employees

As of December 31, 2015, we had a total of 1,577 employees, including 227 physicians and 43 physician extenders. None of our employees is a party to a collective bargaining agreement and we consider our relationships with our employees to be good.

Available Information

We file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information electronically with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). You may read and copy any document we file with the SEC at the SEC’s public reference room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, DC 20549. Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for information on the public reference room. The SEC maintains a website that contains annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information that issuers (including USMD) file electronically with the SEC.

Item 2. Properties

We maintain our principal executive office at 6333 North State Highway 161, Irving, Texas. We occupy approximately 27,000 square feet of space under a long-term lease that expires in 2023 and includes an option for us to renew the lease for up to five years beyond that date. We also lease approximately 60,000 square feet of space in two separate locations for our business office operations.

In addition to our principal executive office and business office operations, as of December 31, 2015, we leased through various entities 57 healthcare facilities to support our operations. Our clinical leases, which represent the largest portion of our rent expense, have various terms ranging from one month to 12 years and monthly lease payments ranging from $900 to $95,000. We expect to be able to renew each of our leases or to lease comparable facilities on terms commercially acceptable to us.

All of our properties are located in the Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas metropolitan area. We believe our present facilities are substantially adequate to meet our current and near-term projected needs.

 

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

We are from time to time subject to litigation and claims arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims for damages from medical negligence, employment disputes and breach of contract. We believe that the ultimate resolution of any such proceedings, whether the underlying claims are recoverable under our professional and general liability insurance policies or not, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. For more information regarding legal proceedings in which we are involved, see Note 17, Commitments and Contingencies, to our December 31, 2015 Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this Annual Report.

The purpose of this section, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”), is to provide a narrative explanation of our financial statements from the perspective of our management that enables investors to better understand our business, to enhance our overall financial disclosures, to provide the context within which our financial information may be analyzed and to provide information about the quality of, and potential variability of, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The MD&A should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Executive Overview

We are an early-stage physician-led integrated health system committed to maintaining the vital doctor-patient relationship that we believe results in higher quality and more affordable patient care. An integrated health system is considered early-stage when it has not yet established all the components necessary to be considered a fully integrated health system. Our focus, and the focus of our healthcare providers, is to deliver higher quality, more convenient, cost effective healthcare to our patients. We believe that our model brings primary care and specialist physicians together and places them in their proper role as leaders of healthcare delivery and that this important shift brings quality and patient satisfaction back to the forefront by making our providers responsible for patient outcomes and the overall clinical experience.

Table of Contents

We operate in one physician-led integrated health system segment and through our subsidiaries and affiliates, we provide healthcare services to patients and management and operational services to hospitals and other healthcare providers. We provide healthcare services to patients in physician clinics, hospitals and other healthcare facilities, including cancer treatment centers and anatomical pathology and clinical laboratories. We operate under a traditional fee-for-service model as well as a risk contracting model.

Key Developments

 

    Effective December 18, 2015, we sold our Lithotripsy Services business. The sale included the management services business as well as controlling and noncontrolling interests in the lithotripsy service provider entities. We retained a noncontrolling interest in one lithotripsy service provider. Cash proceeds from the sale of the Lithotripsy Services business will further enable us to continue execution of our plan to build a physician-led integrated health system. Subsequent to the sale, except for the one noncontrolling interest noted above, we no longer manage, operate or have investments in lithotripsy entities.

 

    We established our first IDTF, which began treating patients in August 2015.

 

    During 2015, in efforts to improve our liquidity, we issued convertible notes payable totaling $5.1 million and related party long-term debt of $15.0 million. These debt instruments have deferred principal payments.

Opportunities and Challenges

We are focused on expanding our physician-led integrated health system in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas metropolitan area through the growth of our physician and patient base as well as by increasing the service offerings within our system. We intend to increase our patient base by increasing the number of primary care and specialist physicians in our system, including increasing the number of specialists in our current areas of focus as well as in specialties not currently within our system. We may achieve this through hiring efforts or through the acquisition of or affiliations with physician practices or other healthcare practices that share our vision of patient-first care. Inherent in the expansion of our physician-led integrated health system is a build out of our imaging, clinical and pathological laboratory offerings and implementation of a more efficient clinical care model.

A significant element of our growth plan is the expansion of our risk services, or population health management business. We intend to accomplish this by expanding in both the Medicare Advantage and commercial markets. We currently serve the Medicare Advantage market through WNI-DFW. During 2014 WNI-DFW had a monthly average Medicare Advantage patient population of 7,400, with 8,712 at year end. During 2015 WNI-DFW had a monthly average Medicare Advantage patient population of 9,559, with 9,844 at year end. Effective January 1, 2016, WNI-DFW has a Medicare Advantage patient population of 9,972. We believe the care coordination and population health management infrastructure we have installed enhances clinical outcomes and eliminates wasteful costs often associated with fee-for-service medical care. Under our WNI-DFW agreement, we receive 86.75% of the Part C premium for that Medicare Advantage population, which has provided us with the resources needed to develop the care management infrastructure necessary to enhance our patients’ health at reasonable costs. As we grow our population health management business, we will continue to invest in our care coordination and population health management infrastructure. In January 2015, we completed implementation of leading edge population health management software. We believe this system significantly improves our ability to effectively manage the health of our patient populations. We believe that our clinical model for population health management will generate positive long-term returns; however, we are at risk for Part C covered services, except for transplants, mental health and dialysis, so short-term results can be materially impacted by negative health experiences within our managed patient population.

In December 2013, our physician practice was selected by the Department of Health and Human Services as a Medicare Shared Savings Plan Accountable Care Organization (“ACO”). Doctors, hospitals and healthcare providers establish ACOs in order to work together to provide higher-quality coordinated care to patient populations specified by Medicare, with the intent to produce savings as a result of improved quality and operational efficiency. ACOs share with Medicare any savings generated from lowering the growth in healthcare costs when they meet standards for high quality care. The ACOs must meet quality standards to ensure that savings are achieved through improving care coordination and providing care that is appropriate, safe and timely. CMS evaluates ACO quality performance using quality measures on patient and caregiver experience of care, care coordination and patient safety, appropriate use of preventive health services, and improved care for at-risk populations.

Increasing physician counts and expanding service offerings may have a near-term negative impact on margins as we develop our physician-led integrated health system. Our physician compensation model is designed to fairly compensate physicians in a value-based care paradigm and the success of this model is integral to our future success. We will face operational and cultural challenges in integrating new physicians and components of our patient-centric model, which continues to evolve and is expected to offer numerous opportunities for improving healthcare delivery and growing our business. In addition, the continued development of our physician-led integrated health system will likely require additional capital infusions or other financing.

i. A patient encounter is registered when a patient sees his or her USMD healthcare provider.
ii. Our RVUs are equivalent to physician work RVUs as defined by the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule. RVUs reflect the relative level of time, skill, training and intensity required of a physician to provide a given service. We use RVUs as measures of physician productivity and utilization. RVUs are also a component of physician compensation.
iii. Lab tests, imaging procedures and lithotripsy cases are all production metrics based on Current Procedural Terminology codes.
iv. Cancer treatment center fractions are production metrics based on Current Procedural Terminology codes and include fractions from our wholly owned center.
v. Capitated member months represent the aggregate number of months of healthcare services WNI-DFW has provided to capitated members.
vi. Capitated membership represents the number of members under a capitation arrangement to which we provided healthcare services as of a specified date.

We use various evidence-based quality metrics such as specific cancer screenings to measure how well our physicians manage their patient panels. We believe our quality criteria have enabled us to reduce the total medical cost of care of our managed patients, including reductions in emergency room visits and hospital readmissions. We use these and other metrics to measure the performance of our business.

Industry Trends

Healthcare Reform

The Healthcare Reform Law is intended to decrease the number of uninsured Americans and reduce the overall cost of healthcare. The Healthcare Reform Law attempts to achieve these goals by, among other things, requiring most Americans to obtain health insurance, providing additional funding for Medicaid in states that choose to expand their programs, reducing Medicare and Medicaid Disproportionate Share Hospital payments, expanding the Medicare program’s use of value-based purchasing programs, tying hospital payments to the satisfaction of certain quality criteria, bundling payments to hospitals and other providers, and instituting certain private health insurance reforms. Many provisions within the Healthcare Reform Law could impact us in the future, resulting in potential variances in third-party reimbursement rates, payer mix and patient encounter volumes. The most significant provisions of the Healthcare Reform Law that seek to decrease the number of uninsured individuals mostly became effective January 1, 2014, while others have been delayed until 2016 and beyond. For instance, the requirement that mid-size employers (defined as groups between 50 and 99 employees) and large-size employers (defined as 100 or more employees) provide health insurance to their employees or pay a per employee fine (the employer mandate) has been delayed several times and is now not scheduled to be fully implemented until 2016. Since its passage in 2010, the Healthcare Reform Law has faced several challenges and further challenges are expected that could impact implementation of these laws, or the law itself. Because of the many variables involved and the staggered implementation timeline, we

cannot predict with any assurance the ultimate effect of the Healthcare Reform Law and related regulations and interpretive legislation on our business. We believe that we are well positioned to respond effectively to the opportunities and challenges presented by this important legislation as a result of our physician-led, high quality, patient-centered care model.

One provision of the Healthcare Reform Law required CMS to establish a Medicare Shared Savings Program that promotes accountability and coordination of care through the creation of ACOs. The program allows certain healthcare providers to voluntarily form ACOs and work together along with other ACO participants to invest in infrastructure and redesign delivery processes to achieve high quality and efficient delivery of services. As an ACO, we will strive to improve the clinical outcomes of our Medicare fee for service patients participating in the ACO and to achieve those improved outcomes at a reduced relative cost. We will have the opportunity to share with CMS in any financial savings created.

Value-Based Care and Patient-Centered Medical Home

We believe the U.S. healthcare system continues to evolve in a manner that focuses on value-based reimbursement systems, with an increasing focus on population health management. As government and commercial payers strive to control healthcare costs and improve healthcare outcomes, we believe payment methodologies and reimbursement trends will continue to evolve, including payment bundling, value-based payment methodologies linked to the quality and coordination of care as well as risk-sharing arrangements such as capitated payments. We believe this evolution favors physician-led integrated health systems and that we are well positioned today to shift to value-based reimbursement systems.

We also believe that patient-centered medical home models, in which a primary care or specialty physician serves as the care coordinator will grow in prominence. We believe our focus on developing a clinically integrated, comprehensive healthcare delivery network, our commitment to patient-centered care, our collaborations such as those with WNI-DFW and other commercial payers, and our experienced management team position us well to respond to these emerging trends and to manage the changing healthcare regulatory and reimbursement environment.

- Net Patient Service Revenue

Our NPSR is driven by a patient encounter at one of our physician clinics. A patient sees the physician at one of our clinics and the physician may prescribe services that may be performed at one of our imaging centers, diagnostic laboratories, cancer treatment center or other affiliated healthcare facilities. The NPSR earned at our imaging centers, diagnostic laboratories and cancer treatment center are almost exclusively derived from the physician clinic patient encounter. Our imaging centers, diagnostic laboratories and cancer treatment center only nominally serve patients or conduct tests not derived from our physician clinic patient encounter. For these reasons, we focus on the overall NPSR per patient encounter metric.

Patient encounter based clinic NPSR increased $3.6 million or 2.0%, net of a $2.2 million increase in the provision for doubtful accounts. Patient encounters remained flat and RVUs increased 2.5% for the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2014. NPSR per patient encounter increased 1.9% due to a favorable change in case mix and a favorable shift in payer mix. The shift in payer mix was reflected by a decrease in utilization by Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries from 40% to 39% of gross charges. The $0.7 million decrease at the cancer treatment center is primarily due to a 1.3% decline in fractions treated at the cancer treatment center and a $0.3 million decrease related to a decline in certain commercial payer reimbursement rates. We anticipate downward pricing pressure to continue to negatively impact NPSR at the cancer treatment center during 2016.

The provision for doubtful accounts related to patient service revenue increased $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2014. Year over year comparative overall collections have slowed resulting in an increase in gross patient accounts receivable, further aging of accounts receivable and an increase in the provision for doubtful accounts. We believe the slowed collection rate is temporary and partially attributable to an information technology system conversion that occurred in late July 2015 and efforts to initiate new billing processes for the IDTF at USMD Arlington that opened in August 2015.

Other physician revenue represents non-clinic physician premium payments for quality measures, on-call pay and physician recruitment agreement revenues and decreased to $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 from $4.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The decrease is primarily attributable to a $0.4 million decline in revenue from physician recruitment agreements and a $0.2 million decrease in premium payments for quality measures offset by a $0.5 million increase in on-call pay.

- Capitated Revenue

In June 2013, WNI-DFW began operations and we began recording capitated revenue associated with the consolidated operations of WNI-DFW. Capitated revenue is correlated to capitated membership counts as well as the health risk of the patient population being managed; the population risk impacts the “per member per month” rate earned. Capitated revenue increased $29.3 million to $95.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 from $66.5 million in 2014. The growth in membership counts at WNI-DFW accounted for $19.6 million of the increase and a rise in the aggregate risk score assigned to our managed Medicare Advantage population accounted for $9.7 million of the increase. We anticipate expanding our capitated member counts through WNI-DFW and other entities focused on the Medicare Advantage market as we execute our strategy to move from an early-stage integrated health

system to a fully integrated health system. During 2014, we invested in systems to train and monitor our physicians and staff with the intent to improve the accuracy of physician documentation and coding of patient conditions. We believe these efforts have resulted in a more accurate assessment by CMS of the risk score of our managed Medicare Advantage population.

- Management and Other Services Revenue

Management services revenue includes revenue earned through the provision of management and support services to our nonconsolidated managed entities and is generated through our management of hospitals, cancer treatment centers and, prior to the sale of our Lithotripsy Services business, lithotripsy centers. Management and other services revenue decreased 8.2% to $20.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 from $22.7 million in 2014 for the reasons noted below.

Hospital management revenue earned from USMD Arlington and USMD Fort Worth decreased $0.1 million or 0.5% in 2015 as compared to 2014. An unfavorable shift to a lower acuity surgical case mix at the hospitals contributed $0.6 million to the decrease in hospital management revenue and was offset by an increase of $0.3 million in the contractual inflation adjustment to reimbursable support costs and a $0.2 million increase related to an increase in surgical case volume and a favorable change in commercial versus government payer mix.

Lithotripsy management revenue decreased $0.1 million, or 9.8%, in 2015 as compared to 2014. Lithotripsy case volume at the managed lithotripsy entities decreased 6.9% while management revenue per managed lithotripsy case remained flat. The decrease in lithotripsy case volume is primarily attributable to the sale of our Lithotripsy Services business. As of the date of sale of our Lithotripsy Services business, we no longer earn lithotripsy management revenue.

Cancer treatment center management revenue decreased $1.3 million or 35.6% in 2015 as compared to 2014. We earn cancer treatment center management revenue by charging the cancer treatment center a contracted management fee that is based on a percentage of the managed entity’s account collections, net income, a combination of collections and net income, or a fixed monthly fee and reimbursement of variable support costs. We negotiate the management fee with each cancer treatment center and the fee differs between managed entities. Shifts in the level of activity between managed entities affect the price mix of cancer treatment center management revenue. In 2014, contractual management arrangements with three cancer treatment centers were terminated and in January 2015, a contractual management arrangement with one additional cancer treatment center was terminated. The net effect of the contract terminations and the opening of new cancer treatment centers resulted in a $1.2 million decrease in consolidated cancer treatment center management revenue in 2015 as compared to 2014. Same facility cancer center collections declined 6.8%, contributing $0.1 million to the decline. Same facility year over year individual entity contractual rates did not change in 2015 as compared to 2014 rates.

Other services revenue primarily consists of healthcare information technology consulting services provided to third parties and income related to the early termination of management agreements. Other services revenue decreased $0.4 million or 11.4% as compared to 2014. In the second quarter of 2014, we entered into a settlement agreement and recognized $0.4 million as a result of the early termination of a management agreement.

- Lithotripsy Revenue

Prior to the sale of the Lithotripsy Services business, we recognized lithotripsy revenue, which consisted of the revenue of the consolidated lithotripsy entities. Lithotripsy revenue decreased $0.5 million or 2.2% to $21.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 from $21.6 million in 2014. Lithotripsy entity case counts decreased 1.3% resulting in a decrease in lithotripsy revenue of $0.3 million in 2015 as compared to 2014. A decrease in average aggregate contract rate for the consolidated lithotripsy entities, due to shifts in utilization and negotiated rate changes year over year, resulted in a $0.2 million decline. As of the date of sale of our Lithotripsy Services business, we no longer earn lithotripsy revenue.

Operating Expenses

Salaries, wages and employee benefits increased $2.8 million to $169.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 from $166.4 million in 2014. Physician and physician extenders salary expense decreased $0.2 million primarily due to the new physician compensation model. Effective July 2014, we began phasing in a new physician compensation model that we believe increases physician productivity, quality and profitability. Full implementation of the terms of this compensation model was originally scheduled to occur in January 2016; however, we accelerated implementation of many of the key components of the model to July 2015. As a result of the accelerated implementation, physician salaries decreased during the six months ended December 31, 2015 relative to the run rate experienced since the plan became effective. In addition, during the six months ended December 31, 2015, physician and extender salary expense incurred per RVU generated and as a percent of NPSR declined as compared to salary expense incurred prior to July 2015. We anticipate continued reduction in the relative run rate in 2016 and future years.

Non-physician salary and wages expense increased $5.1 million, net of the impact from outsourcing our revenue cycle function in the fourth quarter of 2014. As a result of the outsourcing, for the year ended December 31, 2015, salaries and wages were reduced by $3.4 million as compared to 2014. The increase in non-physician salary expense is primarily related to a growth in headcount of non-physician medical management and staff intended to improve the productivity and efficiency of the physicians and clinics and to support the growth of our population health management program. This increase in headcount is net of the revenue cycle outsourcing. Merit raises accounted for an additional $1.0 million of the increase and we incurred a $0.6 million year over year increase in bonus expense. Employee benefit costs increased $1.8 million, net of the impact from outsourcing our revenue cycle function in 2014. The increase was primarily due to increases in payroll taxes and health benefits expense. Contract labor costs increased $0.2 million.

Medical services and supplies expense includes external medical claims costs associated with population health management (WNI-DFW) as well as medical services and supplies associated with all patients, such as drugs, medications and general medical supplies. Medical services and supplies expense increased $25.9 million to $105.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 from $80.0 million in 2014. WNI-DFW medical services expense increased $19.6 million to $73.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 from $54.0 million in 2014. The increase in medical services expense was driven by a 29.5% increase in WNI-DFW capitated member months. Over the same period, capitated revenue increased $29.3 million. Medical services expense of WNI-DFW includes the direct medical cost of caring for the patient population including incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) medical claims. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2015, drug supplies expense increased $6.0 million as compared to 2014, commensurate with the increase in drug supplies revenue. The remaining net increase in medical services and supplies of $0.3 million is primarily due to an increase in medical supplies expense.

Rent expense increased $2.2 million to $18.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 from $15.9 million in 2014 due primarily to an increase in leased square footage.

Other operating expenses consist primarily of management fees, consulting and professional fees, purchased services, repairs and maintenance, utilities and other expense. Other operating expenses increased 21.6% to $39.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 from $32.7 million in 2014. The increase is primarily related to management fees, outsourced revenue cycle costs and EHR incentive income. Medical management and administrative fees incurred at WNI-DFW increased $1.6 million in 2015 as compared to 2014. As WNI-DFW member counts and revenues grow, and as WNI-DFW gains efficiencies in its provision of care coordination and overall medical management services, we anticipate that medical management fees incurred at WNI-DFW will continue to increase. In 2015, we have incurred $3.6 million of expense related to the outsourcing of our revenue cycle process that began in November 2014, an increase of $3.0 million as compared to 2014. In addition, EHR incentive income, which is recorded as contra expense, decreased $1.3 million in 2015 as compared to 2014.

As a result of our 2014 annual goodwill impairment review, we recorded goodwill impairment of $20.3 million in our Cancer Treatment Services reporting unit. The impairment of goodwill was primarily the result of a reduction in the near-term and long-term projected operating results and cash flows utilized in assessing goodwill for impairment. The reduction in forecast amounts was primarily related to delays in the Company’s ability to execute its strategic plan commensurate with its past forecasts exacerbated by a decrease in actual results of the reporting unit in 2014.

Depreciation and amortization decreased $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to 2014, due primarily to an $8.4 million intangible asset impairment charge taken in May 2014. The $1.4 million net increase in depreciation and amortization is comprised of increases in fixed asset depreciation and amortization and intangible asset amortization. Fixed asset depreciation and amortization increased $1.3 million primarily due to additions to leasehold improvements and medical equipment, particularly as related to the opening of our IDTF at USMD Arlington. Intangible asset amortization increased $0.1 million as certain trade names converted from indefinite-lived to finite-lived assets concurrent with the 2014 impairment.

Other Income, net

Other income, net increased $16.5 million to $25.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 from $8.5 million in 2014 primarily resulting from aggregate gains of $18.1 million related to the sale of our Lithotripsy Services business, offset by a $1.3 million decrease in equity in income of nonconsolidated affiliates and a $0.7 million increase in net interest expense.

In 2015, we recorded an $11.8 million gain on the sale of the Lithotripsy Services business. In addition, included in the sale of the Lithotripsy Services business was the sale of a controlling interest in one previously wholly owned, consolidated lithotripsy partnership in which we retained a limited partnership interest. As a result of the sale, we deconsolidated the partnership and recorded a non-cash gain of $6.3 million related to remeasurement of the retained investment to its fair value at the date of sale of the controlling interest. Further adding to the year over year increase in other gain (loss), in 2015, we recorded a $0.2 million gain on the sale of ownership interests and, in 2014, we had a $0.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt.

The decrease in equity in income of nonconsolidated entities was the result of a $1.8 million decrease in the equity in income of USMD Fort Worth offset by a $0.4 million increase at USMD Arlington. In addition, comparative equity in income of the remaining nonconsolidated affiliates increased $0.1 million, primarily due to the January 2015 sale of our ownership interest in a cancer treatment center that had been generating losses.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes

Our effective tax rates were 1.0% and 19.5% for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The 2015 variance from the statutory rate is primarily due to the tax impact of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests when pre-tax income approximates the net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. The 2014 variance from the statutory rate is primarily due to the impact that net income attributable to noncontrolling interests has on the tax rate when a pretax loss exists (as it did for 2014) offset by the tax effect of the goodwill impairment. The net income attributable to noncontrolling interests tax component was flat; however, its impact on the tax rates varied significantly due to the pre-tax results in each period.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests eliminate the income or loss attributable to non-USMD ownership interests in our consolidated entities. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased $0.1 million to $9.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 from $9.5 million in 2014. The change is related to an increase in net income of the consolidated lithotripsy entities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal uses of cash are for working capital requirements, financing obligations and capital expenditures. Our primary sources of liquidity include existing cash, cash flows from operations including distributions from USMD Arlington and USMD Fort Worth and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. In addition, we apply various mechanisms to manage cash flows, including utilizing our common stock as a form of liquidity. We continue to explore potential sources of additional liquidity. Liquidity provided by distributions from USMD Arlington and USMD Fort Worth can vary materially depending on hospital profitability and the individual cash requirements of the hospital. Additionally, we anticipate distributions from USMD Arlington to be lower than historical distributions due to the mechanics of repayment of certain borrowings from USMD Arlington (see Financing Activities below). At December 31, 2015, we had $16.3 million of cash and cash equivalents available for general corporate purposes. This amount is net of $9.7 million of restricted cash and $13.3 million of cash held by WNI-DFW, which is only available for use by WNI-DFW. As further described in the Credit Agreement section below, we are required to maintain a compensating balance of $6.8 million as collateral for our borrowings under our credit agreement. We believe that these sources of cash and cash management techniques will be adequate to fund our working capital requirements, debt service obligations, ongoing capital expenditures and other ongoing cash needs until 2019, when certain convertible subordinated notes are due.

We may utilize our common stock as a form of liquidity, primarily in payment of certain compensation and when acquiring physician practices. Our physician compensation model allows for up to 25% of the base salary of certain physicians to be deferred under certain conditions, and later paid in cash, our common stock, or a combination of both. The payment of deferred amounts in cash, if any, will generally occur within 45 days of the end of a given quarter and as soon as reasonably practicable following the end of the quarter if paid in common stock, if any, subject to compliance with law. During the year ended December 31, 2015, we granted and issued common stock with a grant date fair value of $7.4 million in payment of compensation amounts due to physicians. We do not anticipate deferring physician salaries in 2016.

We may also utilize our common stock to pay certain compensation deferred under our Salary Deferral Plan (the “Deferral Plan”). Participation in the Deferral Plan is limited to certain of our executives and permits us to defer the payment of a predetermined portion of a participant’s base salary each calendar quarter. The plan administrator decides after the end of each quarter whether deferred amounts will be paid in the form of cash, shares of common stock or a combination of both. The payment of deferred amounts in cash, if any, will occur within 45 days of the end of a given quarter and on or prior to March 14 of the following calendar year if paid in common stock, if any, subject to compliance with law. During the year ended December 31, 2015, we granted and issued common stock with a grant date fair value of $1.0 million in payment of compensation amounts deferred under the Deferral Plan in 2015 and 2014. No executives have elected to participate in the Deferral Plan in 2016.

Shares of common stock issued pursuant to the Deferral Plan or in payment of deferred physician compensation are issued from the shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the USMD Holdings, Inc. 2010 Equity Compensation Plan, as amended.

As we execute our physician-led integrated health system strategy in 2016, we anticipate making significant capital investments, primarily as related to the opening of another IDTF, the continued consolidation and expansion of our physician clinics and investments in certain information technology infrastructure. Significant capital investments, including expansion related capital investments, may be financed through long-term debt or lease arrangements, funded with borrowings under the revolving credit facility, if available, or paid for with existing cash. As we execute our strategy to expand our physician-led integrated health system, we will continue to invest in our infrastructure and incur acquisition and integration costs. Significant expansion may be financed with our equity and/or additional indebtedness or through lease arrangements. As our business model matures, we believe cash flows from operations will provide the

cash flow necessary to support integration costs and infrastructure investment. However, certain growth plans and infrastructure investment may be curtailed depending upon the availability of cash and additional sources of financing. In addition, our WNI-DFW joint venture may require cash advances from us.

Our credit agreement provides for a revolving credit facility (“Revolver”) commitment of up to $10.0 million through December 21, 2016, subject to certain financial covenants. The Revolver is available for working capital needs and capital expenditures (up to $1.5 million per year), both subject to certain criteria. At December 31, 2015, we had no borrowings under the Revolver and no amounts were available to borrow under the Revolver, as calculated per the financial covenants in our credit agreement. Our ability to borrow amounts under the Revolver is limited and our credit agreement limits our ability to incur additional indebtedness. We continue to seek additional liquidity and believe that such liquidity may be available to us through alternative debt/equity financings. We believe that additional financing will enable us to continue execution of our expansion strategy. However, there is no guarantee we will be able to find such additional liquidity. In addition, adequate funds may not be available when needed or may be available only on terms not acceptable to us. If we are unable to secure additional financing on terms acceptable to us, our growth could be materially adversely impacted. Even if we secure additional financing, such financing could have a negative impact on our long-term cash flows and results of operations and may be dilutive to existing stockholders.

Operating Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2015, we had cash flows from liabilities of $5.4 million offset by cash used for current assets of $6.5 million.

At December 31, 2015, accounts receivable, net decreased $1.5 million as compared to December 31, 2014. NPSR accounts receivable, net increased $2.6 million due to an increase in NPSR over the comparative period and an increase in average days sales outstanding in accounts receivable (“DSO”). Average NPSR DSO increased to 41 days at December 31, 2015 from 39 days at December 31, 2014. The sale of the Lithotripsy Services business reduced non-NPSR accounts receivable by $2.9 million, which was offset by an increase in non-NPSR accounts receivable at WNI-DFW of $1.0 million.

Table of Contents

For the year ended December 31, 2015, we had cash flows of $3.4 million from other accrued liabilities and accrued payroll. Cash flows of $3.2 million from other accrued liabilities are due primarily to a $2.5 million growth-related increase in the IBNR and medical claims payable balances at WNI-DFW and a $1.2 million increase in accrued payables, offset by cumulative decreases of $0.6 million in income tax payables, current deferred rent and accrued bonus. Cash flows of $0.3 million from accrued payroll are primarily due to a $1.6 million increase in the medical claims payable balance related to our self-insured employee medical benefit plan that began in January 2015 and a net increase of $1.5 million in payroll and payroll tax balances due to payroll timing differences between 2015 and 2014. This was offset by a $5.0 million decrease in compensation amounts due to physicians, including a non-cash component of $2.0 million that was paid with shares of our common stock. In addition, accrued payroll decreased $0.2 million related to the sale of the Lithotripsy Services business. During 2015, non-cash activity also includes $0.5 million of employee compensation accrued at December 31, 2014 that was paid for with shares of our common stock. In addition, we had cash flows from other noncurrent liabilities of $2.2 million, primarily due to an increase in deferred rent related to rent abatements at newly leased clinic facilities.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities of $4.4 million in 2015 was primarily attributable to proceeds from the sale of the Lithotripsy Services business offset by capital expenditures. During 2014, we entered into a lease agreement with USMD Arlington (a nonconsolidated affiliate) to lease medical office building space to build an IDTF. Construction began in 2015 and expenditures for leasehold improvements totaled $1.8 million. The IDTF opened in August 2015. In addition, we had capital expenditures of $0.8 million for information technology, $0.7 million of expenditures for equipment and furniture and $0.3 million of expenditures for leasehold improvements. We anticipate minimum capital expenditures of $2.0 million in 2016.

Financing Activities

In 2015 we issued $20.0 million of debt with deferred principal payments and in 2013 we issued $24.3 million of debt with deferred principal payments. In December 2014, we restructured our credit agreement (see Credit Agreement below) resulting in principal payments on and proceeds from long-term debt of $6.8 million. Additionally, in 2014, we used a restricted cash compensating balance to repay a $5.0 million term loan and repaid the $3.0 million balance outstanding under the Revolver.

As a result of the credit agreement restructuring and debt payoffs in 2014, payments on long-term debt were significantly lower during 2015 as compared to 2014. We anticipate payments on long-term debt and capital leases to increase substantially in 2016 as amounts outstanding under the credit agreement become due in December 2016 and as we begin making payments under capital lease and financing arrangements that commenced in 2015.

On September 18, 2015, we executed an amendment to our partnership agreement with USMD Arlington to allow for a one-time special distribution to us from USMD Arlington. We received proceeds from the special distribution of $14.76 million, net of lender fees of $0.2 million. We have determined that the special distribution is, in substance, a debt arrangement (the “Advance”). The Advance accrues interest that is payable to USMD Arlington at the 30-Day London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin of 2.85% (3.27% at December 31, 2015). In addition, we are required to pay the limited partners of USMD Arlington a pre-determined quarterly financing fee equal to 3.22% per annum of the scheduled outstanding balance at the end of each month. To the extent available, principal and interest payments due on the Advance will be withheld monthly from USMD Arlington distributions otherwise due to us. If distributions to us withheld by USMD Arlington for any three month period ending in February, May, August or November during the debt term are less than principal and interest payments due for that three month period, we will make payments in amounts equal to the difference between amounts withheld from distributions and amounts due for that three month period. Subject to the preceding terms, principal payments of $312,500 are due monthly beginning December 31, 2016 and the debt matures November 28, 2020. If we fail to make payments due under the terms of the Advance, our ownership interest in USMD Arlington may be reduced and the ownership interest of the limited partners of USMD Arlington may be proportionally increased.

On April 29, 2015, we issued convertible subordinated notes due 2020 in the principal amount of $1.55 million (the “2020-11 Convertible Notes”) to certain investors in a private unregistered offering. The 2020-11 Convertible Notes mature on November 1, 2020 and bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.25% per annum. Interest will be paid monthly, in cash or in shares of our common stock as we elect, on the last day of each month commencing on May 31, 2015. Principal is due in full at maturity. We may prepay the 2020-11 Convertible Notes, in whole or in part, at any time after April 29, 2016 without penalty. Each noteholder will have the right at any time after April 29, 2016, prior to the payment in full of the 2020-11 Convertible Note, to convert all or any part of the unpaid principal balance of the 2020-11 Convertible Note into shares of our common stock at the rate of one share of common stock for each $10.61 of principal. The conversion rate will be appropriately adjusted for stock splits, mergers or other fundamental corporate transactions. The indebtedness represented by the 2020-11 Convertible Notes is expressly subordinate to and junior and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all our senior indebtedness, which includes indebtedness in connection with our credit agreement.

Table of Contents

Effective March 13, 2015, we issued convertible subordinated notes payable in the aggregate principal amount of $3.5 million (the “2020-09 Convertible Notes”) to certain investors in a private unregistered offering. The 2020-09 Convertible Notes mature on September 1, 2020 and bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.75% per annum. Interest payments are due and payable on the last day of each month and may be paid in cash or in shares of our common stock, as we elect. Principal is due in full upon maturity. We may prepay the 2020-09 Convertible Notes, in whole or in part, at any time after March 13, 2016 without penalty. Each noteholder has the right at any time after March 13, 2016, prior to the payment in full of the 2020-09 Convertible Note, to convert all or any part of the unpaid principal balance of its 2020-09 Convertible Note into shares of our common stock at the rate of one share of common stock for each $11.10 of principal. The conversion price will be appropriately adjusted for stock splits, mergers or other fundamental corporate transactions. The indebtedness represented by the 2020-09 Convertible Notes is expressly subordinate to and junior and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all our senior indebtedness, which includes indebtedness in connection with our credit agreement.

Credit Agreement

For the principal terms and more detailed summary of activity of our Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), see Note 11, Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations, to our December 31, 2015 Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this Annual Report.

On December 22, 2014, we entered into an amendment to our credit agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) with Southwest Bank as sole lender and administrative agent (“Administrative Agent”), which governs certain loans from the Administrative Agent. The loans provided under the Credit Agreement consist of a $6.75 million term loan (“Term Loan”) and the Revolver. The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of USMD and its wholly owned subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.

The maturity date of the Term Loan is December 21, 2016 and it bears interest at a fixed rate of 1.80%. The Credit Agreement requires us to maintain a compensating balance of $6.75 million, which is presented as restricted cash on our consolidated balance sheet. The collateralized compensating balance is held in a segregated account with the Administrative Agent and is governed by a deposit account control agreement executed in connection with a previous amendment to the Credit Agreement. The account bears interest at a rate of 0.55% per annum. We do not have the right to withdraw funds from such deposit account without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. We may, however, prepay the Term Loan at any time, in whole or in part, with the cash held in the segregated account. Once the Term Loan was fully cash collateralized, we were no longer required to make scheduled principal payments on the Term Loan and the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan is due and payable at maturity. Proceeds from borrowings under the Term Loan were used to repay in full other lenders previously party to the Term Loan.

The maturity date of the Revolver is December 21, 2016. Interest on amounts outstanding under the Revolver is due monthly and accrues, at our option, at the 30-Day LIBOR plus 3.50%, or the U.S. prime rate plus 0.50%, with a floor of 4.00% in either case. An unused commitment fee is payable quarterly on the undrawn portion of the Revolver at a rate of 0.50% per annum. Proceeds from borrowings under the Revolver are available to finance our working capital needs and to finance up to $1.5 million of capital expenditures each year.

The Credit Agreement requires us to meet a senior leverage ratio of no greater than 1.00:1.00 in order to borrow funds under the Revolver and to pay down the borrowings under the Revolver in the event its senior leverage ratio exceeds 1.00:1.00. Beginning on September 30, 2016, the Credit Agreement requires us to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.25:1.00. Both covenants are calculated on a rolling four quarter basis. However, not more than once during any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters, we are permitted to maintain compliance with its financial covenants if the fixed charge coverage ratio is at least 1.00:1.00 and the senior leverage ratio is no greater than 1.25:1.00. Under the Credit Agreement, if the Term Loan is fully cash collateralized and there are no borrowings under the Revolver, the fixed charge coverage ratio will not be tested in any fiscal quarter ending on or after September 30, 2016, and the senior leverage ratio will not be tested in any fiscal quarter ending on or after September 30, 2015. The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict our ability to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, make dividend and other restricted payments, create liens securing other indebtedness and enter into restrictive agreements. As of December 31, 2015, we were in compliance with the financial covenant requirements of our Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement allows for a maximum amount of capital expenditures of $6.0 million in 2016.

Convertible Subordinated Notes Due 2019

Effective September 1, 2013, we issued convertible subordinated notes due 2019 in the aggregate principal amount of $24.3 million (the “2019-03 Convertible Notes”) to certain limited partners of USMD Arlington to acquire their limited partnership interests in USMD Arlington. The 2019-03 Convertible Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.00% per annum and mature on March 1, 2019. Interest payments are due and payable on the last day of each month and the principal is due upon maturity. We have the option to prepay the 2019-03 Convertible Notes, in whole or in part, at any time after September 1, 2014 without penalty. Each noteholder has the right at any time after September 1, 2014 to convert all or any part of the unpaid principal balance of its 2019-03 Convertible Note into shares of common stock of USMD at the rate of one share of common stock for each $23.37 of principal. The conversion price will be appropriately adjusted for stock splits, mergers or other fundamental corporate transactions. The conversion option has no cash

settlement provisions. The 2019-03 Convertible Notes are convertible into 1,041,577 of our common shares at a conversion price of $23.37 per share. The indebtedness represented by the 2019-03 Convertible Notes is expressly subordinate to all senior indebtedness of USMD currently outstanding or incurred in the future, which includes its indebtedness under the Credit Agreement. We intend to fund the required interest payments under the 2019-03 Convertible Notes with available cash balances, cash provided by operating activities and distributions from USMD Arlington and USMD Fort Worth.

At the date of execution of the 2019-03 Convertible Notes, the commitment date, the conversion price was less than the fair value of shares our common stock. We recognized the intrinsic value of the conversion option’s in-the-money portion as a $3.7 million beneficial conversion discount to the debt with an offsetting entry to additional paid-in capital. The beneficial conversion discount is being accreted to the 2019-03 Convertible Notes using the effective interest method over 66 months until they mature on March 1, 2019. The 2019-03 Convertible Notes have an effective interest rate of 8.50%. Recognition of the beneficial conversion discount results in a temporary book-tax basis difference in the debt instrument. Accordingly, on September 1, 2013, we recorded a $1.3 million deferred tax liability with an offsetting entry to additional paid-in capital.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Except for guarantees discussed below, we do not have any arrangements that qualify as off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

As of December 31, 2015, we had issued guarantees to third parties of the indebtedness and other obligations of certain of our current and one former nonconsolidated investees. Should the investees fail to pay the obligations due, we could be required to make payments totaling an aggregate of $24.6 million. The guarantees provide for recourse against the investee; however, if we are required to perform under one or more guarantees, recovery of any amount would be unlikely. Included in the guarantee amount above is our guarantee of 46.4% of the obligations of USMD Arlington that were incurred to finance the Advance to us. If we were required to perform under that guarantee or record a liability for that guarantee, our obligations under the Advance would likely decrease by an equal amount. The remaining terms of these guarantees range from 31 to 149 months. We record a liability for performance under financial guarantees when, upon review of available financial information of the nonconsolidated affiliate, and in consideration of pertinent factors, management determines it is probable that we will have to perform under the guarantee and the liability is reasonably estimable. We have not recorded a liability for these guarantees, as we believe the likelihood that we will have to perform under these agreements is remote.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In preparing these consolidated financial statements, we make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that we believe to be relevant at the time we prepare our consolidated financial statements. On a regular basis, we review the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.

Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Pronouncements, to our December 31, 2015 consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this Annual Report. We believe that the following accounting estimates are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results, as they require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, resulting from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Where we have provided sensitivity analyses in the “Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions” columns below, the variance assumptions used in those analyses are based on outcomes that we consider reasonably likely to occur.

Revenue Recognition – Patient Service Revenue      

We record patient service revenue during the period healthcare services are provided based upon estimated net realizable amounts due from third-party payers and patients, which includes an estimate of revenue earned but not billed.

 

Amounts we receive for patient services paid by patients and third-party payers such as managed care health plans and commercial insurers, governmental programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, and other payers are generally less than our customary charges and patient service revenue is recorded net of these contractual allowances and discounts.

 

All physician practice and ancillary services contractual allowance calculations are subject to monthly review by management.

  

Net patient service revenue includes amounts estimated by management to be reimbursable by third-party payers. The process of calculating contractual allowances requires us to estimate the payment amount based on third-party payer contract provisions.

 

Discounts off customary charges result from the reduction of our customary charges to prospectively established fee schedule amounts and other contract provisions. The estimates of contractual allowances on charges posted for the period involve payer-specific estimates of patient service revenue based on the most significant contractual reimbursement methodologies such as percent of charges, fixed fee schedules and multi-procedure discounting. However, the calculations do not take into consideration all contract provisions that may limit reimbursement, but provide an estimate of net realizable value. Revenue is adjusted when the parties (insurer and patient/guarantor) obligated under the contract have tendered payment on the claim. During 2015 we experienced a material weakness related to our estimates of contractual allowances. For more information regarding the material weakness, see Part II, Item 9A, Controls and Procedures, of this Annual Report.

  

If the actual contractual reimbursement percentage under government programs and managed care contracts differed by 1% from our estimated reimbursement percentage, net patient service revenue for the year ended December 31, 2015 would have changed by $0.2 million. Final settlements under some of these programs are subject to adjustment based on administrative review and audit by third parties.

 

If the actual reimbursement percentage of unbilled charges differed by 1% from our estimated reimbursement percentage, net patient service revenue for the year ended December 31, 2015 would have changed by a nominal amount. Final settlements under some of these programs are subject to adjustment based on administrative review and audit by third parties.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts      

Accounts receivable primarily consist of amounts due from third-party payers and patients of our healthcare facilities. We also have accounts receivable from healthcare entities that we provide management and lithotripsy services to.

 

The primary collection risks relate to uninsured patient accounts, including patient accounts for which the primary insurance carrier has paid the amounts covered by the applicable agreement, but patient responsibility amounts (deductibles, coinsurance amounts and copayments) remain outstanding. Bad debt expense and the allowance for doubtful accounts relate primarily to amounts due directly from patients. We write off uncollectible accounts once collection efforts are exhausted.

  

We estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts by reserving a percentage of all accounts receivable based on collection history, adjusted for expected recoveries and, if present, anticipated changes in trends that may affect collection.

 

Management relies on the results of detailed reviews of historical collection and write-off data as a primary source of information in estimating the collectibility of its accounts receivable. We perform this analysis monthly, utilizing monthly accounts receivable collection and write-off data. We also regularly review our overall reserve adequacy by monitoring historical cash collections as a percentage of trailing net revenue less bad debt expense.

 

We believe our monthly updates to the allowance for doubtful accounts provide reasonable valuations of our accounts receivable. To date, these routine changes in estimates have not resulted in material adjustments to our allowance for doubtful accounts, bad debt expense or period-to-period comparisons of its results of operations.

  

If actual results are not consistent with our assumptions and judgments, we may be exposed to gains or losses that could be material. Changes in general economic conditions, payer mix, or trends in federal governmental and private employer healthcare coverage could affect our estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts, collection of accounts receivable, financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

 

If the actual bad debt percentage differed by 10% from its estimated bad debt rate, net patient service revenue and net accounts receivable for the year ended December 31, 2015 would have changed by approximately $0.3 million.

Incurred But Not Reported Medical

Claims

     
In connection with the operations of WNI-DFW, we make estimates related to IBNR medical claims of WNI-DFW. The patient population to which WNI-DFW provides health services has limited medical claims activity from which claims-based actuarial judgments can be made. In addition, the full population is relatively small for precise actuarial determinations.   

In addition to calculating IBNR claims using an actuarial estimate based on historical medical claims activity, we include an adjustment factor based on broader patient populations deemed to be similar in risk profile to the WNI-DFW managed patient population.

 

As the size of our member population increases and medical claims experience grows, uncertainties in preparing the IBNR claims estimate will be reduced.

  

If the actual IBNR medical claims experience is not consistent with our estimated IBNR claims liability, we may be exposed to variances in medical services and supplies expense that may be material. Variances from our assessment in the underlying health of the WNI-DFW managed patient population could affect the medical claims experience and IBNR claims estimate.

 

If the actual claims experience differs 10% from the assumption used in our estimate, IBNR claims expense would have increased/decreased by $1.4 million.

Impairment of Goodwill and Other

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

     

We test goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if circumstances indicate potential impairment. Such circumstances may include (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or the business climate, (2) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, or (3) other adverse changes in the assessment of future operations of a reporting unit. We test for goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level, which we have determined is one level below the operating segment level.

 

The impairment test for goodwill uses a two-step approach. Step one compares the fair value of the reporting unit to which goodwill is assigned to its carrying value. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, then we conclude that no goodwill impairment has occurred. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a potential impairment is indicated and step two is performed.

 

Step two compares the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to its implied fair value. In calculating the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the other assets and liabilities, including unrecognized intangible assets, of that reporting unit based on their fair values, similar to the allocation that occurs in a business combination.

 

The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amount assigned to its other assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. If the implied fair value of goodwill exceeds the carrying value, goodwill is not impaired.

 

For the 2015 goodwill impairment analysis, we concluded that there was no impairment.

 

Step one of the 2014 goodwill impairment analysis indicated that the carrying value of the Cancer Treatment Services reporting unit exceeded its estimated fair value. As a result, in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill, we performed the second step of the impairment analysis.

 

The second step analysis indicated that the carrying value of the Cancer Treatment Services reporting unit was in excess of its implied fair value. Accordingly, the Company recorded goodwill impairment of $20.3 million, which was the amount by which the carrying value of the Cancer Treatment Services reporting unit’s goodwill exceeded its implied fair value.

 

To test impairment of acquired indefinite-lived intangible assets (trade names), the fair values are estimated and compared to their carrying values. We recognize an impairment charge when the estimated fair value of the intangible asset is less than the carrying value.

 

We perform our annual impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of December 31. There were no indefinite-lived trade names or other assets at December 31, 2015.

  

In estimating the fair value of reporting units, we make estimates and judgments about future cash flows and market valuations using a combination of income, cost and market approaches, as appropriate.

 

We primarily rely on an income approach, specifically a discounted cash flow analysis, which includes assumptions for, among others, discount rates, cash flow projections, growth rates and terminal value rates, all of which require significant judgment. This type of analysis contains uncertainties because it requires management to make assumptions and apply judgment to estimate industry economic factors and the profitability of future business strategies. It is our policy to conduct impairment testing based on our current business strategy in light of present industry and economic conditions, as well as our future expectations.

 

We estimate the fair value of trade names based on an income approach – relief from royalty method. This methodology assumes that, in lieu of ownership, a third party would be willing to pay a royalty in order to exploit the related benefits of the trade name assets. This approach is dependent on a number of factors, including estimates of future growth and trends, royalty rates in the category of intellectual property, discount rates and other variables.

  

As a result of step one of the 2015 goodwill impairment analysis, the estimated fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount. Therefore, the second step was not necessary and no goodwill impairment was recorded.

 

The estimated fair values of both reporting units – Physician and Ancillary Services and Cancer Treatment Center – significantly exceeded their carrying values.

 

Our 2015 goodwill impairment test utilized both a market approach and an income approach. The market approach primarily utilized the guideline company and merger and acquisition methodologies, both based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization multiple estimates.

 

Our 2014 goodwill impairment test included reductions in cash flow forecasts and certain discount rates that were higher than in past years due to delays in the Company’s ability to execute its strategic plan commensurate with its past forecasts. In addition, during 2014, we performed an operational assessment of overhead allocation methodologies. The overhead allocation methodology used in the goodwill impairment analysis was modified to correlate with the results of this assessment. Except for these changes, we have not made material changes in the accounting methodology we use to assess goodwill impairment during the past two years. Changes in the estimates, assumptions and other qualitative factors used to conduct goodwill impairment tests, including future cash flow projections, could indicate that our goodwill is impaired in future periods and could result in a potentially material impairment of goodwill.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and

Finite-Lived Intangible Assets

     

We evaluate our long-lived assets and identifiable acquired intangible assets with finite useful lives for possible impairment whenever circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset, or related group of assets, may not be recoverable. Examples include a current expectation that an asset will be disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful live, a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which we use an asset or in its physical condition, or a significant decrease in the expected recoverability of an asset.

 

When evaluating long-lived assets for impairment, we compare the carrying value of the asset to the asset’s estimated undiscounted future cash flows. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying value of the asset or group of assets exceeds the respective fair value.

 

If we recognize an impairment loss, the adjusted carrying value of the asset becomes its new cost basis. For a depreciable long-lived asset, the new cost basis will be depreciated over the remaining useful life of that asset.

 

No long-lived asset or finite-lived intangible asset impairment charges were recorded during the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

As a result of the USMD Health System branding initiative introduced in May 2014, management concluded that the indefinite-lived trade names were finite-lived assets. In 2014, in connection with this change, we performed, with the assistance of independent valuation experts, an impairment test of the carrying value of the trade names to determine whether any impairment existed. We concluded that the estimated fair value of the trade names was less than the associated carrying value and that an impairment write-down was required. As a result of this determination, in May 2014, we recorded an impairment loss of $8.4 million.

  

Our impairment analyses contain uncertainties because they require us to make assumptions and apply judgment to estimate future cash flows, including forecasting useful lives of the assets and selecting the discount rate that reflects the risk inherent in future cash flows. Fair value of assets is estimated based on appraisals, established market values of comparable assets or internal estimates of discounted future cash flows.

 

The estimated fair values of the trade names were calculated using an income approach – relief from royalty method, which assumes that in lieu of ownership, a third party would be willing to pay a royalty in order to exploit the related benefits of the trade name asset. The cash flow model we used to estimate the fair value of the trade names involves several assumptions, most significantly, projected revenue growth rates, a pre-tax royalty rate of 1.0% declining to 0.1% over the estimated five year life of the asset and a discount rate of 17%. The actual useful life of the trade names will vary dependent upon certain factors including the availability of funding to execute the USMD Health System branding initiative. If in the future, the estimated useful lives of the trade names change, we will perform an impairment analysis.

  

We have not made any material changes in the accounting methodology used to assess long-lived or finite-lived intangible asset impairment loss during the past two years.

 

It is reasonably likely that the estimated useful lives of trade names will change in the future. Adjustments to the useful lives of the trade names are primarily dependent upon the availability of funding to execute the USMD Health System branding initiative.

 

Except as noted above, we do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood of a material change in the future estimates or assumptions used to calculate long-lived or finite-lived intangible asset impairment losses. However, if actual results are not consistent with the estimates and assumptions we use in estimating future cash flows, we may be exposed to future impairment losses that could be material.

Income Taxes      

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Income tax receivables and liabilities and deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the amounts that more likely than not will be sustained upon ultimate settlement with taxing authorities.

 

Our income tax returns, like those of most companies, are periodically audited by domestic tax authorities. These audits include questions regarding our tax filing positions, including the timing and amount of income and deductions and the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. At any point in time, many tax years are subject to audit by various tax authorities. In evaluating the exposures associated with our various tax filing positions, we may record a liability for such exposures. A number of years may elapse before a particular matter, for which we have established a liability, is audited and fully resolved or clarified. We adjust our liability for unrecognized tax benefits and income tax provisions in the period in which an uncertain tax position is effectively settled, the statute of limitations expires for the relevant taxing authority to examine the tax position or when more information becomes available.

  

The determination and evaluation of our provision for income taxes and analysis of uncertain tax positions requires significant judgment and knowledge of federal and state income tax laws, regulations and strategies, including the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities and, if necessary, any valuation allowances that may be required for deferred tax assets.

 

We evaluate the recoverability of our deferred tax assets and establish a valuation allowance if necessary to reduce our deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Considerable judgment is required in determining whether a valuation allowance is necessary, and if so, the amount of such valuation allowance. Although realization is not assured, we believe it is more likely than not that our deferred tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, based on all available evidence, both positive and negative, and the weight of that evidence to the extent such evidence can be objectively verified, management determines it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

We consider many factors when evaluating our uncertain tax positions and such judgments are subject to periodic review. Our liability for unrecognized tax benefits contains uncertainties because management is required to make assumptions and apply judgment to estimate the exposures associated with our various filing positions.

  

We regularly review our deferred income tax assets for recoverability. If we are unable to generate sufficient future taxable income, or if there is a material change in the actual effective income tax rates or time period within which the underlying temporary differences become taxable or deductible, we could be required to record a valuation allowance, resulting in a substantial increase in our effective tax rate.

 

We regularly review our uncertain tax positions. Although we believe that the judgments and estimates discussed herein are reasonable, actual results could differ, and we may be exposed to losses or gains that could be material.

Share-Based Payments      
We determine the estimated fair value of our stock option awards to employees and directors at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.   

Option pricing models require us to make assumptions and apply judgment to determine the fair value of our awards. These assumptions and judgments include estimating the future volatility of our stock price, the expected life of the option and the risk free interest rate. Changes in these assumptions can materially impact the fair value estimate.

 

As a recently formed public entity with a small public float and very limited trading of our public common shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market, it is not practicable for us to estimate the volatility of our common shares; therefore, we estimate volatility based on the historical volatilities of a small group of companies we consider as close as comparable to USMD as available and an industry index, all equally weighted, over the expected life of the option. We concluded that this combination was more characteristic of our business than a broad industry index. The expected life of awards granted represents the period of time that we expect them to be outstanding based on the “simplified” method, which is allowed for companies that cannot reasonably estimate expected life of options based on historical share option exercise experience. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield of U.S. Treasury zero-coupon securities that correspond to the expected life of the option.

  

If actual results are not consistent with the assumptions used, the share-based payment expense reported in our financial statements may not be representative of the actual economic cost of the share-based payment.

 

A 10% increase in estimated volatility of awards granted in 2015 would have increased share-based payment expense by $25,000.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2015

Note 1 – Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business:

USMD Holdings, Inc. (“USMD” or the “Company”) is an early-stage physician-led integrated health system. An integrated health system is considered early-stage when it has not yet established all the components necessary to be considered a fully integrated health system. Through its subsidiaries and affiliates, the Company provides healthcare services to patients and management and operational services to hospitals and other healthcare service providers. The Company provides healthcare services to patients in physician clinics, hospitals and other healthcare facilities, including cancer treatment centers and anatomical pathology and clinical laboratories. A wholly owned subsidiary of the Company is the sole member of a Texas Certified Non-Profit Health Organization that owns and operates a multi-specialty physician group practice (“USMD Physician Services”) in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas metropolitan area.

Through other wholly owned subsidiaries, the Company provides management and operational services to two general acute care hospitals in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas metropolitan area and provides management and/or operational services to three cancer treatment centers in three states. Of these managed entities, the Company has noncontrolling ownership interests in the two hospitals and one cancer treatment center. In addition, the Company wholly owns and operates one Independent Diagnostic Testing Facility (“IDTF”), two clinical laboratories, one anatomical pathology laboratory and one cancer treatment center in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas metropolitan area.

On December 18, 2015, as part of the Company’s strategic plan to build a fully integrated physician-led health system, the Company sold its lithotripsy services (“Lithotripsy Services”) business (see Note 3). The sale included the management services business as well as controlling and noncontrolling interests in the Company’s lithotripsy service provider entities. A noncontrolling interest in one lithotripsy service provider entity was retained. In its existing form, the lithotripsy business was not a core component of an integrated health system and, therefore, was not aligned with the strategic objectives of the Company.

Basis of Presentation:

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, entities controlled by the Company through its direct or indirect ownership of a majority interest and any other entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. The Company consolidates VIEs where the Company is the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the party that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company consolidates entities in which it or its wholly owned subsidiary is the general partner or managing member and the limited partners or managing members, respectively, do not have sufficient rights to overcome the presumption of the Company’s control. The Company eliminates all significant intercompany accounts and transactions in consolidation. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

The Company uses the equity method to account for investments in entities it or its wholly owned subsidiaries do not control, but over which it or its wholly owned subsidiaries have the ability to exercise significant influence. The Company does not consolidate equity method investments, but rather measures them at their initial cost and subsequently adjusts their carrying values through income for the Company’s respective share of earnings or losses during the period.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS–(Continued)

December 31, 2015

 

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Pronouncements

Revenue Recognition

Patient Service Revenue: The Company records patient service revenue at the time healthcare services are provided based upon estimated amounts due from third-party payers and patients. Amounts the Company receives for patient services paid by patients and third-party payers such as managed care health plans and commercial payers, governmental programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, and other payers are generally less than the Company’s customary charges. Patient service revenue is recorded net of these contractual allowances and discounts. The estimation of contractual allowances on charges posted for the period involve payer-specific estimates of net patient service revenue based on the most significant contractual reimbursement methodologies. However, the calculations do not take into consideration all contract provisions that may limit reimbursement, but provide an estimate of net realizable value. Revenue is adjusted when the parties (insurer and patient/guarantor) obligated under the contract have tendered payment on the claim. Historically, these payment adjustments have not been material.

To provide for patients’ accounts receivable that could become uncollectible in the future, the Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce the carrying value of such receivables to their estimated net realizable value. Accordingly, the net patient service revenue and accounts receivable reported in the Company’s accompanying consolidated financial statements are recorded at the net amount expected to be received.

Laws and regulations governing Medicare and Medicaid programs are complex and subject to interpretation. The Company believes that it is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and is not aware of any pending or threatened investigations involving allegations of potential wrongdoing that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation as well as significant regulatory action including fines, penalties and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs.

Capitated Revenue: The Company’s consolidated VIE, WNI-DFW, Inc. (“WNI-DFW”), earns capitated revenue (fixed payment per member per month) by contracting with an entity that operates a health services company that contracts directly with a health plan. Capitated revenue is prepaid monthly to WNI-DFW based on the number of Medicare Advantage members of that network electing WNI-DFW primary care physicians as their healthcare provider. Capitated revenue is reported as revenue in the month in which members are entitled to receive healthcare. Capitated revenue pertaining to Medicare enrollees is subject to possible retroactive premium risk adjustments based on their individual acuity. Due to lack of sufficient data to project the amount of such retroactive adjustments, the Company records any corresponding retroactive revenues in the year of receipt.

Management and Other Services Revenue: The Company earns management services revenue through the provision of management services to its managed entities. Management fee revenues are generally recognized based on a defined percentage of cash collections or adjusted net revenues of the managed entities. These terms and percentages are contractually defined and the Company recognizes revenue when the contractual terms are met. The Company may also provide certain managed entities with operational and finance support services. Revenue from these services is recognized as the services are provided and contractual terms are met.

Lithotripsy Services Revenue: Prior to the sale of the Lithotripsy Services business, the Company provided lithotripsy services to hospitals and other medical facilities. Lithotripsy services revenue is comprised of the revenue of consolidated lithotripsy entities that the Company controls or wholly owns. Lithotripsy services revenue is recognized as services are provided and reported based on actual contract price or estimated net realizable amounts.

Physician Recruitment Agreements: In order to meet the hospitals’ needs, hospitals enter into physician recruitment agreements with physicians and/or group practices that employ them under which hospitals agree to contribute to the compensation of physicians who are recruited to their service area. Several hospitals have entered into such agreements with USMD Physician Services and/or physicians that are employed by that entity or its wholly owned subsidiaries. Under such agreements, the hospital will typically provide the physician with a guaranteed income during an initial guarantee period, generally one year. Amounts paid by a hospital under such agreements are subject to repayment and repayment is secured by a note payable to the hospital with repayment terms generally beginning in the month following the end of the guarantee period. Principal and interest payments are due monthly over a defined commitment period, generally three years, and the obligation to make monthly installment payments is forgiven on the due date provided no events of default have occurred. Events of default are typically defined as, but not limited to, failure of the physician to maintain a practice in the service area of the hospital as established in the agreement or entering into competing agreements. Upon an event of default, amounts not previously forgiven are due to the hospital in accordance with the terms of the note and, typically, the payment of future installment note payments can be accelerated.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS–(Continued)

December 31, 2015

 

USMD Physician Services records physician recruitment agreement payments received from hospitals for the benefit of employed physicians as deferred revenue and recognizes associated patient service revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the commitment period. Upon an event of default, amounts due are reclassified to notes payable; however, historically, such amounts have not been material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of patient service revenue associated with physician recruitment agreements. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company has on the consolidated balance sheet $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of deferred revenue associated with physician recruitment agreements included in other current liabilities and $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of deferred revenue associated with physician recruitment agreements included in other long-term liabilities.

Concentrations and Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Deposits held with financial institutions often exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents.

Accounts receivable are stated at net realizable value. The Company grants credit without requiring collateral from its non-patient customers, primarily area healthcare facilities. The Company grants credit without requiring collateral from its patients, most of whom are area residents and are insured under third-party payer agreements. The credit risk for non-governmental accounts receivable is limited due to the number of insurance companies and other payers that provide payment and reimbursement for patient services. Collection risks principally relate to self-pay patient accounts, including patient accounts for which the primary insurance payer has paid but patient responsibility amounts (generally deductibles, coinsurance and copayments) remain outstanding. The mix of gross patient and customer accounts receivable is as follows:

 

     December 31,

Government-related programs

     46     33

     100     100
  

 

 

   

 

 

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management’s assessment of the collectibility of patient and customer accounts. The Company regularly reviews this allowance by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, the age of the accounts receivable balances and current economic conditions that may affect a patient’s or customer’s ability to pay. Uncollectible accounts are written off once collection efforts are exhausted. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the allowance for doubtful accounts was 11.2% and 7.8%, respectively, of gross accounts receivable. A summary of the Company’s accounts receivable allowance for doubtful accounts activity is as follows (in thousands):

If actual results are not consistent with the Company’s assumptions and judgments, it may be exposed to changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts that could be material. Changes in general economic conditions or payer mix, or trends in federal governmental and private employer healthcare coverage could affect the estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts, collection of accounts receivable, or financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of bank deposit accounts.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes cash that is legally restricted for withdrawal or usage. Restrictions may include legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances or funds held in escrow.

Inventories

Inventories consist primarily of pharmacy and medical supplies and are stated at lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out basis.

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures that increase capacities or extend useful lives are capitalized while routine maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expense as incurred. Leased property meeting certain criteria is capitalized and the present value of the related lease payments is recorded as a liability. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements and capitalized lease assets are amortized over the respective lease term used in determining the lease classification or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is shorter. When property is sold, retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the respective accounts and the resulting gain or loss is included in the consolidated statement of operations. The useful lives of assets acquired in business combinations are estimated based on the condition of the asset at its acquisition date and its normal useful life. Estimated useful lives of assets are as follows at December 31, 2015:

 

Building

   40 years

Leasehold improvements

   1-15 years

Furniture and equipment

   2-15 years

Software

   1-5 years

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Finite-Lived Intangible Assets

Long-lived assets include property and equipment and equity investments in nonconsolidated affiliates. The Company evaluates its long-lived assets and identifiable acquired intangible assets with finite useful lives for possible impairment whenever circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset, or related group of assets, may not be recoverable from estimated future undiscounted cash flows. When evaluating long-lived assets for impairment, the Company compares the carrying value of the asset to the asset’s estimated fair value. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying value of the asset or group of assets exceeds the respective fair value. Fair value of assets is estimated based on appraisals, established market values of comparable assets or internal estimates of undiscounted future cash flows. The Company’s estimates of future cash flows are based on assumptions and projections it believes to be reasonable and supportable. No impairment charges were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2015 or 2014. The Company amortizes the cost of intangible assets with finite useful lives over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual value. At December 31, 2015, none of the Company’s finite-lived intangible assets had an estimated residual value.

Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price and related costs over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not subject to amortization but are tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if circumstances indicate a potential impairment. Such circumstances may include (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or the business climate, (2) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, or (3) other adverse changes in the assessment of future operations of a reporting unit.

Goodwill is tested for impairment at a reporting unit level, which for the Company is one level below the operating segment level. The impairment test for goodwill uses a two-step approach. Step one compares the fair value of the reporting unit to which goodwill is assigned to its carrying value. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a potential impairment is indicated and step two is performed. Step two compares the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to its implied fair value. In calculating the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the other assets and liabilities, including unrecognized intangible assets, of that reporting unit based on their fair values, similar to the allocation that occurs in a business combination. The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amount assigned to its other assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. If the implied fair value of goodwill exceeds the carrying value, goodwill is not impaired.

To test impairment of acquired indefinite-lived intangible assets (trade names), the fair values are estimated and compared to their carrying values. The Company estimates the fair value of these intangible assets based on an income approach – relief from royalty method. This methodology assumes that, in lieu of ownership, a third party would be willing to pay a royalty in order to exploit the related benefits of these types of assets. This approach is dependent on a number of factors, including estimates of future growth and trends, royalty rates in the category of intellectual property, discount rates and other variables. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the estimated fair value of the intangible asset is less than its carrying value.

The Company performs its annual impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of December 31.

Electronic Health Record Incentive Income

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“ARRA”) provides for incentive payments under the Medicare program for certain hospitals and physician practices that demonstrate meaningful use of certified electronic health record (“EHR”) technology. These provisions of ARRA are intended to promote the adoption and meaningful use of interoperable health information technology and qualified EHR technology. The Company accounts for Medicare EHR incentive payments in accordance with ASC 450-30, “Gain Contingencies.” The Company recognizes a gain for EHR incentive payments when its participating physicians have demonstrated meaningful use of certified EHR technology for the applicable period. Once the physicians have demonstrated meaningful use of certified EHR technology for the applicable period, no further contingencies exist as related to the Medicare EHR incentives for physicians. However, individual payment amounts are subject to audit by the administrative contractor and the auditor’s final determination of amounts earned could differ from amounts recorded. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized $0.0 million and $1.2 million of EHR incentive income, which is included in other operating expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.

Share-Based Payments

Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized in the financial statements based on their estimated grant-date fair value. Share-based payments are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period; however, where the portion of the grant-date value of the award that is vested exceeds straight-line amortization, the vested portion is recognized.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties related to income tax matters, net of any applicable related income tax benefit, as a component of income tax expense.

Items required by tax regulations to be included in the tax return may differ from the items reflected in the financial statements. As a result, the effective tax rate reflected in the financial statements may be different than the actual rate applied on the tax return. Some of these differences are permanent such as expenses that are not deductible in the Company’s tax return, and some differences are temporary, reversing over time, such as valuation reserves. Temporary differences create deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets generally represent items that can be used as a tax deduction or credit in future years for which the Company has already recorded the tax benefit in the Company’s income statement. Deferred tax liabilities generally represent tax expense recognized in the Company’s financial statements for which payment has been deferred, or expenditures for which the Company has already taken a deduction in the Company’s tax return but have not yet been recognized in the Company’s financial statements.

The application of GAAP requires the Company to evaluate the recoverability of the Company’s deferred tax assets and establish a valuation allowance if necessary to reduce the Company’s deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Considerable judgment is required in determining whether a valuation allowance is necessary, and if so, the amount of such valuation allowance. In evaluating the need for a valuation allowance, the Company may consider many factors, including: (1) the nature of the deferred tax assets and liabilities; (2) whether they are ordinary or capital; (3) taxable income in prior carryback years as well as projected taxable earnings exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards; (4) the length of time that carryovers can be utilized in the various taxing jurisdictions; (5) any unique tax rules that would impact the utilization of the deferred tax assets; and (6) any tax planning strategies that the Company would employ to avoid a tax benefit from expiring unused. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, based on all available evidence, both positive and negative, and the weight of that evidence to the extent such evidence can be objectively verified, management determines it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

GAAP prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that a company has taken or expects to take on tax returns. The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition. The Company determines whether it is more likely than not, based upon the technical merits, that a tax position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes. If the tax position does not meet the more likely than not recognition threshold, the benefit of that position is not recognized in the financial statements. The second step is measurement. The Company measures the tax position as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate resolution with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. This measurement considers the amounts and probabilities of the outcomes that could be realized upon the ultimate settlement using the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date. Tax benefits associated with an uncertain tax position are derecognized in the period in which the more likely than not recognition threshold is no longer satisfied.

The determination and evaluation of the Company’s provision for income taxes and analysis of uncertain tax positions requires significant judgment and knowledge of federal and state income tax laws, regulations and strategies, including the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities and, if necessary, any valuation allowances that may be required for deferred tax assets. While the Company believes it has adequately provided for its income tax receivables or liabilities and deferred tax assets or liabilities in accordance with applicable income tax guidance, adverse determinations by taxing authorities or changes in tax laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company’s liability for income taxes includes the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties that relate to tax years still subject to review by the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing jurisdictions. Audit periods remain open for review until the statute of limitations has passed. Generally, for tax years that produce net operating losses, capital losses or tax credit carryforwards (“tax attributes”), the statute of limitations does not close, to the extent of these tax attributes, until the expiration of the statute of limitations for the tax year in which they are fully utilized. The completion of review or the expiration of the statute of limitations for a given audit period could result in an adjustment to the liability for income taxes.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the amount that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. Preference is given to observable inputs. The basis for these assumptions establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

    Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

 

    Level 2 – Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

 

    Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of three valuation techniques. The three valuation techniques are as follows:

 

    Market approach – Prices and other market-related information involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities;

 

    Cost approach – Amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (i.e., replacement cost); and

 

    Income approach – Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on market expectations (including present value techniques, option pricing models and lattice models).

Investments in Nonconsolidated Affiliates

Investments in entities the Company does not control but in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Equity method investments are recorded at original cost and adjusted periodically to recognize the Company’s proportionate share of the investee’s net income or loss after the date of investment, additional contributions made, dividends or distributions received, and impairment losses resulting from adjustments to net realizable value. The Company records equity method losses in excess of the carrying amount of an investment when the Company guarantees obligations or is otherwise committed to provide further financial support to the affiliate.

The Company regularly monitors and evaluates the fair value of its equity method investments. If events and circumstances indicate that a decline in the fair value of these assets has occurred and is other than temporary, the Company will adjust investments in nonconsolidated affiliates in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s equity investments do not have a readily determinable fair value as none of them are publicly traded. The fair values of the Company’s private equity investments are primarily determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows of each entity. These cash flow estimates include assumptions on growth rates, discount rates and terminal values (Level 3 fair value measurement).

Noncontrolling Interests in Subsidiaries

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include all assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of less-than-100%-owned affiliates that the Company controls. Accordingly, the Company has recorded noncontrolling interests in the earnings and equity of such entities. The Company records adjustments to noncontrolling interests for the allocable portion of income or loss to which the noncontrolling interests’ holders are entitled based upon the portion of the subsidiaries they own. Contributions from and distributions to holders of noncontrolling interests are adjusted to the respective noncontrolling interests holders’ balance. At December 31, 2015, the Company consolidated the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of one VIE in which it has a controlling financial interest. At December 31, 2014, the Company consolidated the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of 18 less-than-100%-owned lithotripsy entities that it controls and one VIE in which it has a controlling financial interest.

Segment Reporting

GAAP defines operating segments as components of an enterprise about which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM is the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM assesses performance and allocates resources at the integrated health system level. Accordingly, the Company has one operating segment for segment reporting purposes.

Advertising Expense

The Company expenses all advertising costs when incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company incurred advertising expense of $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Advertising expense is included in other operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include net patient service revenue, the allowance for doubtful accounts, incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) medical claims, certain assumptions used in valuations and impairment analyses, depreciable lives of assets, fair value of stock options, the income tax provision and contingency and litigation reserves. While management believes current estimates are reasonable and appropriate, the Company cannot predict future events and their effects with certainty; accordingly, the Company’s accounting estimates require the exercise of judgment. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements will change as new events occur, as better data becomes available, as additional information is obtained, and as facts and circumstances change. The Company evaluates and updates assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis and may employ outside experts to assist in evaluations, as considered necessary. Actual results could differ materially from estimates.

Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant, and Equipment – Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity” (“ASU 2014-08”). Among other provisions and in addition to expanded disclosures, ASU 2014-08 changes the definition of what components of an entity qualify for discontinued operations treatment and reporting from a reportable segment, operating segment, reporting unit, subsidiary or asset group to only those components of an entity that represent a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. Additionally, ASU 2014-08 requires disclosure about a disposal of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations presentation in the financial statements, including the pretax profit or loss attributable to the component of an entity for the period in which it is disposed or is classified as held for sale. This disclosure is required for all of the same periods that are presented in the entity’s results of operations for the period. The provisions of ASU 2014-08 are effective prospectively for all disposals or classifications as held for sale of components of an entity that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014 and interim periods within those years. The Company adopted ASU 2014-08 effective January 1, 2015. The Company applied ASU 2014-08 when considering whether the sale of its Lithotripsy Services business was a discontinued operation.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, “Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis” (“ASU 2015-02”). ASU 2015-02 changes the analysis that a company must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain legal entities. All legal entities are subject to reevaluation under the updated guidance. ASU 2015-02 eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, eliminates the consolidation model specific to limited partnerships, modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs or voting interest entities and affects the evaluation of fee arrangements in the VIE primary beneficiary determination. ASU 2015-02 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and for interim periods within the fiscal year. The Company adopted ASU 2015-02 effective January 1, 2016. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2015-02, certain limited partnerships and limited liability companies in which the Company has investments in are now considered to be VIEs. The Company has evaluated the entities under ASU 2015-02 and concluded that it does not have a controlling financial interest in the entities and, therefore, does not consolidate the entities. However, beginning with the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ending March 31, 2016, the Company will make additional VIE disclosures associated with these entities.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) – Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (“ASU 2015-03”). ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. Prior to adoption of this amendment, debt issuance costs were required to be presented in the balance sheet as a deferred charge (an asset). ASU 2015-03 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The provisions of ASU 2015-03 must be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company adopted ASU 2015-03 effective January 1, 2016. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments” (“ASU 2015-16”). ASU 2015-16 eliminates the requirement for an acquirer to retrospectively adjust its financial statements for changes to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement-period following the consummation of a business combination. Instead, ASU 2015-16 requires these types of adjustments to be made during the reporting period in which they are identified and would require additional disclosure or separate presentation of the portion of the adjustment that would have been recorded in the previously reported periods as if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those years. The Company adopted ASU 2015-16 effective January 1, 2016. Adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” (“ASU 2015-17”). ASU 2015-17 requires deferred tax assets and liabilities to be netted and presented as a single noncurrent amount in the balance sheet, rather than separating them into current and noncurrent amounts. ASU 2015-17 is effective for or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). Under ASU 2016-02, an entity will be required to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. At adoption, this update will be applied using a modified retrospective approach. Management is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU-2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 provides a single principles-based, five-step model to be applied to all contracts with customers. The five steps are to identify the contract(s) with the customer, identify the performance obligations in the contact, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. The provisions of ASU 2014-09 may be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of the update recognized at the date of the initial application along with additional disclosures. On August 14, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year and permits early adoption on a limited basis. As a result of the deferral, ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted beginning January 1, 2017. Management is evaluating the impact that adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Sale of Lithotripsy Services Business

On December 18, 2015, in line with the Company’s strategic plan to build an integrated physician-led health system, the Company sold its Lithotripsy Services business. The Lithotripsy Services business was engaged in the formation, promotion and management of partnerships and other entities that provide the technical portion of lithotripsy procedures to hospitals, surgery centers, physician practices and other healthcare facilities. At the time of the sale, the Lithotripsy Services business provided management and/or operational services to 21 lithotripsy service providers located primarily in the South Central United States. Of those managed entities, the Lithotripsy Services business had minority ownership interests in 19 of the lithotripsy service providers. In addition, the Lithotripsy Services business wholly owned and operated two lithotripsy service providers in North Texas. The sale included the management

services business as well as controlling and noncontrolling interests in the Company’s lithotripsy service provider entities. The Company retained a noncontrolling interest in one lithotripsy service provider entity. Except as noted in the preceding sentence, all ownership interests in and held by the Company were sold. As a result of the sale, the Company no longer provides management or operational services to or serves as the general partner of any lithotripsy service provider. In its existing form, the Lithotripsy Services business was not a core component of an integrated health system and, therefore, was not aligned with the strategic objectives of the Company.

The Lithotripsy Services business was sold for $19.8 million in cash subject to working capital and other adjustments and before purchase price adjustments for indebtedness and transaction costs. The Company received proceeds of $9.3 million after adjustments for indebtedness, transaction costs and amounts placed into escrow. At December 31, 2015, $3.0 million remains in escrow to satisfy indemnification obligations, which is recorded as restricted cash on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company anticipates resolving working capital true-ups in April 2016. The Company recorded a gain on sale of the Lithotripsy Services business of $11.8 million, which is recorded in other gain (loss), net on the consolidated statement of operations, less income tax of $4.1 million. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the pre-tax profit of the Lithotripsy Services business was $14.9 million and $15.5 million, respectively, inclusive of amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the pre-tax profit of the Lithotripsy Services business attributable to USMD Holdings, Inc. was $3.8 million and $4.4 million, respectively.

Included in the sale of the Lithotripsy Services business was the sale of a controlling interest in one previously wholly owned, consolidated lithotripsy partnership. The Company retained a limited partnership interest in this partnership. As a result of the sale, the Company deconsolidated the partnership and began accounting for its remaining investment using the equity method. The Company recorded a non-cash gain on deconsolidation of the partnership of $6.3 million, less income tax of $2.2 million, related to the remeasurement of the retained investment to its fair value at the date of sale of the controlling interest. The pre-tax gain is included in other gain (loss), net on the consolidated statement of operations. Effective on the date of deconsolidation, as an equity method investee, the partnership will be considered a related party. Except for its limited partner interest, the Company has no continuing involvement with the partnership. The partnership does provide lithotripsy services to two equity method investees of the Company.

Note 4 – Variable Interest Entity

The Company is an equal co-member of a Texas non-profit corporation that has been approved by the Texas Medical Board as a Certified Non-Profit Health Organization (WNI-DFW). WNI-DFW has a contractual arrangement to manage patient care by providing or arranging for the provision of all the necessary healthcare services for a health plan’s given Medicare Advantage patient population in the North Texas area served by WNI-DFW. Pursuant to the arrangement, WNI-DFW receives a fixed fee per patient under what is typically known as a “risk contract.” Risk contracting, or full risk capitation, refers to a model in which an entity receives from the third party payer a fixed payment per member per month for a defined patient population, and the entity is then responsible for arranging and/or providing all of the healthcare services required by that patient population. The entity accomplishes this by managing patient care and by contracting with healthcare providers to provide needed healthcare services for the patient population. In such a model, the contracting entity is then responsible for incurring or paying for the cost of healthcare services required by that patient population. The entity generates a net surplus if the cost of all healthcare services provided to the patient population is less than the payments received from the third party payer and it generates a net deficit if the cost of such services is higher than the payments received. WNI-DFW commenced operations on June 1, 2013.

The Company evaluated whether it has a variable interest in WNI-DFW, whether WNI-DFW is a VIE and whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in WNI-DFW. The Company concluded that it has variable interests in WNI-DFW on the basis of its capital contribution to WNI-DFW and because WNI-DFW has entered into a Primary Care Physician Agreement (“PCP Agreement”) with USMD Physician Services. WNI-DFW’s equity at risk, as defined by GAAP, is considered to be insufficient to finance its activities without additional support, and, therefore, WNI-DFW is considered a VIE.

In order to determine whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in WNI-DFW and, thus, is WNI-DFW’s primary beneficiary, the Company considered whether it has i) the power to direct the activities of WNI-DFW that most significantly impact its economic performance and ii) the obligation to absorb losses of WNI-DFW that could potentially be significant to it or the right to receive benefits from WNI-DFW that could potentially be significant to it. The Company concluded that the members, the board of directors and the executive management team of WNI-DFW are structured in a way that neither member nor its designee has the individual power to direct the activities of WNI-DFW that most significantly impact its economic performance. Management considered whether the various service and support agreements between WNI-DFW and its members (or their affiliates) provide either variable interest party with this power and concluded that the PCP Agreement between USMD Physician Services and WNI-DFW does provide to USMD Physician Services the power to direct such activities. Under the PCP Agreement, USMD Physician Services is responsible for providing many services related to the growth of the patient population of WNI-DFW, the management of that population’s healthcare

needs, and the provision of required healthcare services to those patients. The Company has concluded that the success or failure of USMD Physician Services in conducting these activities will most significantly impact the economic performance of WNI-DFW. In addition, the Company’s variable interests in WNI-DFW obligate the Company to absorb deficits and provide it with the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to WNI-DFW. As a result of this analysis, the Company concluded that it is the primary beneficiary of WNI-DFW and therefore consolidates the balance sheets, results of operations and cash flows of WNI-DFW. The Company performs a qualitative assessment of WNI-DFW on an ongoing basis to determine if it continues to be the primary beneficiary.

The following table summarizes the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities of WNI-DFW included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets (after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances) (in thousands):

The assets of WNI-DFW can only be used to settle obligations of WNI-DFW. The creditors of WNI-DFW have no recourse to the general credit of the Company. Upon notification from WNI-DFW, the Company is contractually obligated to fund certain cash requirements of WNI-DFW. Pursuant to such a notification, in January 2014, the Company advanced WNI-DFW $0.7 million. The results of operations and cash flows of WNI-DFW are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, WNI-DFW contributed capitated revenue of $95.8 million and $66.5 million, respectively, and income before provision for income taxes of $13.2 million and $7.0 million, respectively (after elimination of intercompany transactions).

Estimated Medical Claims Liability

In connection with the operations of WNI-DFW, the Company makes estimates related to IBNR medical claims of WNI-DFW. The patient population to which WNI-DFW provides health services has limited medical claims activity from which claims-based actuarial judgments can be made. In addition, the full population is relatively small for precise actuarial determinations. Therefore, in addition to calculating IBNR claims using an actuarial estimate based on historical medical claims activity, management includes an adjustment factor based on broader patient populations deemed to be similar in risk profile to the WNI-DFW managed patient population. If actual results are not consistent with the Company’s estimate, the Company may be exposed to variances in medical services and supplies expense that may be material. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company has recorded IBNR claims payable of $13.8 million and $11.4 million, respectively, which is included in other accrued liabilities.

Note 5 – Business Combinations

Effective October 1, 2015, the Company acquired certain assets of a five-physician general surgery practice and the physicians became employees of the Company. As consideration for the acquired practice, the Company paid $57,000 in cash and agreed to either issue to the former owners of the acquired practice the number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to $200,000 divided by the closing price of the stock on the date of issuance of the common stock or pay the former owners $200,000. At December 31, 2015, this amount is recorded in other accrued liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The physicians entered into employment agreements with the Company and these agreements include covenants not to compete. The Company recorded noncompete agreement intangible assets totaling $84,000 with an amortization period of ten years and a $44,000 trade name intangible asset with an amortization period of 44 months.

In connection with the sale of the Lithotripsy Services business, USMD retained a 60% noncontrolling limited partner interest in one previously wholly owned lithotripsy partnership. That partnership was deconsolidated at the sale date and the equity method investment was recorded at its $6.6 million estimated fair value.

Other

At December 31, 2015, the carrying values of the Company’s investments in USMD Hospital at Arlington, L.P. (“USMD Arlington”) and USMD Hospital at Fort Worth, L.P. (“USMD Fort Worth”) are greater than the Company’s equity in the underlying net assets of the hospitals by $40.9 million due to recording ownership interests at fair value in connection with the acquisition of hospital partnership interests in September 2013, the business combination on August 31, 2012 and deconsolidation of the hospitals from the Company’s consolidated financial statements in March 2010, net of impairment.

Summarized combined financial information for the Company’s nonconsolidated affiliates accounted for under the equity method is included in the table that follows (in thousands). For entities that were accounted for under the equity method during 2015 and were sold prior to December 31, 2015, summarized financial information is not included in the 2015 data.

In connection with the Company’s sale of its Lithotripsy Services business, Lithotripsy Services reporting unit goodwill was reduced by $3.4 million. Subsequent to the sale of the Lithotripsy Services business, the Company no longer provides management or operational services to or serves as the general partner of any lithotripsy service provider and no longer has a Lithotripsy Services reporting unit.

In accounting for the sale of the Lithotripsy Services business, the Company identified an error in accounting for its August 31, 2012 business combination. As a result of the error, beginning August 31, 2012, goodwill and noncurrent deferred tax liability were overstated by $4.6 million. The Company corrected the error on the December 31, 2015 balance sheet by reducing goodwill and noncurrent deferred tax liability by $4.6 million. Due to the nature of the error, there was no impact to the 2015 or prior years’ statements of operations, stockholders equity and cash flows. The Company concluded that the error was not material to the Company’s current or prior years’ consolidated financial statements.

As a result of the Company’s 2015 annual goodwill impairment testing, the Company determined there was no goodwill impairment in 2015.

During the Company’s 2014 annual goodwill impairment review, step one of the analysis indicated that the carrying value of the Cancer Treatment Services reporting unit exceeded its estimated fair value. As a result, in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill, management performed the second step of the impairment analysis. The second step analysis indicated that the carrying value of the Cancer Treatment Services reporting unit was in excess of its implied fair value. Accordingly, the Company recorded goodwill impairment of $20.3 million, which was the amount by which the carrying value of the Cancer Treatment Services reporting unit’s goodwill exceeded its implied fair value. The impairment of goodwill is primarily the result of a reduction in the near-term and long-term projected operating results and cash flows utilized in assessing goodwill for impairment. The reduction in forecast amounts is primarily related to delays in the Company’s ability to execute its strategic plan commensurate with its past forecasts exacerbated by a decrease in actual results of the reporting unit in 2014.

In performing its impairment analyses, the Company relied primarily on an income approach, specifically a discounted cash flow analysis, which includes assumptions for, among other factors, discount rates, cash flow projections, growth rates and terminal value rates, all of which require significant judgment (see Note 12). The Company updates specific assumptions at the date of each impairment test to incorporate current industry and Company-specific risk factors from the perspective of a market participant.

In May 2014, the Company introduced a unified brand – USMD Health System – that will reinforce its physician-led integrated health system message. Over time, the Company will replace the historical brands of acquired companies with the USMD Health System brand. Prior to introduction of the new brand, the Company had on its balance sheet indefinite- and finite-lived intangible assets representing the trade names of acquired companies with carrying values of $10.7 million and $0.3 million, respectively. As a result of the branding initiative, management concluded that the indefinite-lived trade names were now finite-lived assets. In connection with this change, the Company performed, with the assistance of valuation experts, an impairment test of the carrying value of the trade names to determine whether any impairment existed. The Company concluded that the estimated fair value of the trade names was less than the associated carrying value and that an impairment write-down was required. As a result of this determination, the Company recorded a trade name impairment loss of $8.4 million, which is included in depreciation and amortization on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014. The estimated fair values of the trade names were calculated using an income approach – relief from royalty method, which assumes that in lieu of ownership, a third party would be willing to pay a royalty in order to exploit the related benefits of the trade name asset (see Note 12). The new $2.6 million carrying value of the trade names is being amortized on a straight line basis over the five year estimated useful life of the trade names. The actual useful life of the trade names will vary dependent upon certain factors including the availability of funding to execute the branding initiative.

Credit Agreement

On December 22, 2014, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries entered into an amendment to its credit agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) with Southwest Bank as sole lender and administrative agent (“Administrative Agent”). The Credit Agreement governs a $6.75 million term loan (“Term Loan”) and a $10.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”). The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.

        The maturity date of the Term Loan is December 21, 2016 and it bears interest at a fixed rate of 1.80%. The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain full cash collateralization of the $6.75 million Term Loan, which is presented as restricted cash on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The cash held as collateral is held in a segregated account with the Administrative Agent and is governed by a deposit account control agreement executed in connection with a previous amendment to the Credit Agreement. The account bears interest at a rate of 0.55% per annum. The Company does not have the right to withdraw funds from such account without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. The Company may, however, prepay the Term Loan at any time, in whole or in part, with the cash held in the segregated account. Once the Term Loan was fully cash collateralized, the Company was no longer required to make scheduled principal payments on the Term Loan and the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan is due and payable at maturity. Proceeds from borrowings under the Term Loan were used to repay in full other lenders previously party to the Term Loan.

The maturity date of the Revolver is December 21, 2016. Interest on amounts outstanding under the Revolver is due monthly and accrues, at the Company’s option, at the 30-Day London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 3.50%, or the U.S. prime rate plus 0.50%, with a floor of 4.00% in either case. An unused commitment fee is payable quarterly on the undrawn portion of the Revolver at a rate of 0.50% per annum. Proceeds from borrowings under the Revolver are available to finance the working capital needs of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and to finance up to $1.5 million of capital expenditures each year.

The Credit Agreement requires the Company to meet a senior leverage ratio of no greater than 1.00:1.00 in order to borrow funds under the Revolver and to pay down the borrowings under the Revolver in the event its senior leverage ratio exceeds 1.00:1.00. Beginning on September 30, 2016, the Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.25:1.00. Both covenants are calculated on a rolling four quarter basis. However, not more than once during any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters, the Company is permitted to maintain compliance with its financial covenants if the fixed charge coverage ratio is at least 1.00:1.00 and the senior leverage ratio is no greater than 1.25:1.00. Under the Credit Agreement, if the Term Loan is fully cash collateralized and there are no borrowings under the Revolver, the fixed charge coverage ratio will not be tested in any fiscal quarter ending on or after September 30, 2016, and the senior leverage ratio will not be tested in any fiscal quarter ending on or after September 30, 2015. The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, make dividend and other restricted payments, create liens securing other indebtedness and enter into restrictive agreements. As of December 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenant requirements of the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement allows for a maximum amount of capital expenditures of $6.0 million in 2016.

In 2014, an amendment to the Credit Agreement restructured the Term Loan and Revolver. The Company analyzed the amendment to the Credit Agreement and resulting restructuring under the debt modification and extinguishment accounting guidance (ASC 470-50). The Company recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $171,000 related to the write-off of unamortized deferred debt issuance costs.

USMD Arlington Related Party Advance

On September 18, 2015, the Company and the other partners of USMD Arlington amended the partnership agreement of USMD Arlington to allow for a one-time special distribution from USMD Arlington to the Company. USMD Arlington financed the special distribution with the proceeds of new debt issued by USMD Arlington in the original principal amount of $15,000,000, which USMD Arlington borrowed specifically for the purpose of funding the special distribution. The Company received proceeds from the special distribution of $14.8 million, net of lender fees. The Company has determined that the special distribution is, in substance, a debt arrangement (the “Advance”).

The Advance accrues interest that is payable to USMD Arlington at the 30-Day LIBOR plus a margin of 2.85% (3.27% at December 31, 2015). In addition, the Company is required to pay the limited partners of USMD Arlington a pre-determined quarterly financing fee equal to 3.22% per annum of the scheduled outstanding balance at the end of each month. To the extent available, principal and interest payments due on the Advance will be withheld monthly from USMD Arlington distributions otherwise due to the Company. If distributions to the Company withheld by USMD Arlington for any three month period ending in February, May, August or November during the debt term are less than principal and interest payments due for that three month period, the Company will make payments in amounts equal to the difference between amounts withheld from distributions and amounts due for that three month period. Subject to the preceding terms, principal payments of $312,500 are due monthly beginning December 31, 2016 and the debt matures November 28, 2020. If the Company fails to make payments due under the terms of the Advance, the Company’s ownership interest in USMD Arlington may be reduced and the ownership interest of the limited partners of USMD Arlington may be proportionally increased.

Convertible Subordinated Notes Due 2020

On April 29, 2015, the Company issued convertible subordinated notes due 2020 in the aggregate principal amount of $1.55 million (the “2020-11 Convertible Notes”) to certain investors in a private unregistered offering. The 2020-11 Convertible Notes mature on November 1, 2020 and bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.25% per annum. Interest payments are due and payable monthly, in cash or in shares of common stock as the Company elects, on the last day of each month commencing on May 31, 2015. Principal is due in full at maturity. The Company may prepay the 2020-11 Convertible Notes, in whole or in part, at any time after April 29, 2016 without penalty.

Each noteholder will have the right at any time after April 29, 2016, prior to the payment in full of the 2020-11 Convertible Note, to convert all or any part of the unpaid principal balance of the 2020-11 Convertible Note into shares of common stock of the Company at the rate of one share of common stock for each $10.61 of principal. The conversion rate will be appropriately adjusted for stock splits, mergers or other fundamental corporate transactions. The conversion option has no cash settlement provisions. The 2020-11 Convertible Notes are convertible into 146,086 common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $10.61 per share. Three members of the Company’s Board of Directors hold 2020-11 Convertible Notes totaling $0.7 million.

Effective March 13, 2015, the Company issued convertible subordinated notes due 2020 in the aggregate principal amount of $3.5 million (the “2020-09 Convertible Notes”) to certain investors in a private unregistered offering. The 2020-09 Convertible Notes mature on September 1, 2020 and bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.75% per annum. Interest payments are due and payable monthly, in cash or in shares of common stock as the Company elects, on the last day of each month commencing on April 30, 2015. Principal is due in full upon maturity. The Company may prepay the 2020-09 Convertible Notes, in whole or in part, at any time after March 13, 2016 without penalty. Each noteholder has the right at any time after March 13, 2016, prior to the payment in full of the 2020-09 Convertible Note, to convert all or any part of the unpaid principal balance of the 2020-09 Convertible Note into shares of common stock of the Company at the rate of one share of common stock for each $11.10 of principal. The conversion price will be appropriately adjusted for stock splits, mergers or other fundamental corporate transactions. The conversion option has no cash settlement provisions. The 2020-09 Convertible Notes are convertible into 315,315 common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $11.10 per share.

The indebtedness represented by the convertible subordinated notes due in 2020 is expressly subordinate to all senior indebtedness of the Company currently outstanding or incurred in the future, which includes indebtedness in connection with its Credit Agreement. The Company evaluated the conversion options embedded in the convertible subordinated notes due in 2020 and concluded that the options do not meet the criteria for bifurcation and separate accounting as a derivative as they are indexed to the Company’s own stock and, if freestanding, would be classified in stockholders’ equity. Specifically, the variables affecting any adjustment to the conversion price would be inputs to the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares, or are otherwise designed to maintain the economic position of both parties before and after the event that precipitates an adjustment of the conversion price (i.e. merger).

Convertible Subordinated Notes Due 2019

Effective September 1, 2013, the Company issued convertible subordinated notes due 2019 in the aggregate principal amount of $24.3 million (the “2019-03 Convertible Notes”) to certain limited partners of USMD Arlington to acquire their limited partnership interests in USMD Arlington. The 2019-03 Convertible Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.00% per annum and mature on March 1, 2019. Interest payments are due and payable on the last day of each month and the principal is due upon maturity. The Company may prepay the 2019-03 Convertible Notes, in whole or in part, at any time after September 1, 2014 without penalty. Each noteholder has the right at any time after September 1, 2014 to convert all or any part of the unpaid principal balance of its 2019-03 Convertible Note into shares of common stock of the Company at the rate of one share of common stock for each $23.37 of principal. The conversion price will be appropriately adjusted for stock splits, mergers or other fundamental corporate transactions. The conversion option has no cash settlement provisions. The 2019-03 Convertible Notes are convertible into 1,041,577 common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $23.37 per share and have an effective interest rate of 8.50%. The indebtedness represented by the 2019-03 Convertible Notes is expressly subordinate to all senior indebtedness of the Company currently outstanding or incurred in the future, which includes its indebtedness under the Credit Agreement.

The Company evaluated the embedded conversion option and concluded that it does not meet the criteria for bifurcation and separate accounting as a derivative as it is indexed to the Company’s own stock and, if freestanding, would be classified in stockholders’ equity. Specifically, the variables affecting any adjustment to the conversion price would be inputs to the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares, or are otherwise designed to maintain the economic position of both parties before and after the event that precipitates an adjustment of the conversion price (i.e. merger).

At the date of execution of the 2019-03 Convertible Notes (the commitment date), the conversion price was less than the fair value of shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company recognized the intrinsic value of the conversion option’s in-the-money portion as a $3.7 million beneficial conversion discount to the debt with an offsetting entry to additional paid-in capital. The beneficial conversion discount is being accreted to the 2019-03 Convertible Notes using the effective interest method until the notes mature on March 1, 2019. At December 31, 2015, the unamortized discount of $2.4 million has a remaining amortizable life of 38 months. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recognized interest expense related to the 2019-03 Convertible Notes of $1.8 million, comprised of $1.2 million related to the contractual interest rate and $0.6 million related to discount accretion. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recognized interest expense related to the 2019-03 Convertible Notes of $1.8 million, comprised of $1.2 million related to the contractual interest rate and $0.6 million related to discount accretion.

Impact to Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations due to Sale of Lithotripsy Services Business

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company acquired the remaining 59.4% of partnership interests in U.S. Lithotripsy L.P. it did not own in exchange for cash and notes payable (the “Subordinated Related Party Notes”). The Subordinated Related Party Notes were held by two individuals who are current members of the Company’s Board of Directors, one of which is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. In connection with the sale of the Lithotripsy Services business, the remaining $3.2 million aggregate balance of the Subordinated Related Party Notes was paid in full.

The Company’s lithotripsy entities historically entered into financing arrangements to acquire lithotripsy and transportation equipment. In May 2015, prior to the sale of Lithotripsy Services, one of the Company’s consolidated lithotripsy entities acquired equipment totaling $0.5 million and executed a note payable to finance the full amount of the purchased equipment. Notes payable and capital lease obligations totaling $1.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively, were sold with the Lithotripsy Services business.

Note 12 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term borrowings and long-term debt. The carrying value of financial instruments with a short-term or variable-rate nature approximates fair value and are not presented in the table below. The carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments that may not approximate fair value are set forth in the table below (in thousands):

At December 31, 2015, the carrying value of the Company’s Term Loan approximates fair value due to recent amendment of the debt and its short-term nature. At December 31, 2014, the carrying value of the Company’s Term Loan approximates fair value due to recent issuance of the fixed rate debt. No events have occurred subsequent to issuance and amendment of the Term Loan to substantially impact the estimated borrowing rate applicable to the Term Loan.

The Company estimates the fair value of the convertible subordinated notes as the sum of the independently estimated fair values of the debt host instrument and embedded conversion option (Level 3 fair value measurement). The Company calculates the present value of future principal and interest payments of the debt host using estimated borrowing rates for similar subordinated debt or debt for

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS–(Continued)

which the Company could use to retire the existing debt. The convertible subordinated notes due 2020 issued in 2015 have effective interest rates that are higher than the effective interest rates of the convertible subordinated notes due 2019. Consequently, the estimated borrowing rate used in the calculation of 2015 fair value was increased commensurate with the borrowing rate of the convertible subordinated notes due 2020. The fair value of the embedded conversion option is valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Quoted market prices are not available for the convertible subordinated notes.

The Company estimates current borrowing rates for its other loans payable by adjusting the discount factor of the obligations at the balance sheet date by the variance in borrowing rates between the issuance dates and balance sheet date (Level 2 fair value measurement). If the creditworthiness of the Company has significantly changed from the debt issuance date, management estimates the applicable borrowing rate based on the current facts and circumstances. Quoted market prices are not available for the Company’s long-term debt.

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company measures certain financial and nonfinancial assets, including property and equipment, goodwill, intangible assets other than goodwill and investments in nonconsolidated affiliates, at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances. Generally, assets are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as a result of impairment charges or similar adjustments made to the carrying value of the applicable assets.

– Investment in Nonconsolidated Affiliate

In connection with the sale of the Lithotripsy Services business, the Company sold a 40% interest in a previously wholly owned, consolidated lithotripsy partnership. The Company ceased to have a controlling interest in the partnership and it was deconsolidated and recorded as an investment in nonconsolidated affiliate at its $6.6 million estimated fair value. The fair value is based on the value ascribed to the partnership interests sold with the Lithotripsy Services business (Level 2 fair value measurement). In addition, in determining the sale price, management, with the assistance of valuation experts, utilized both a market approach and an income approach (Level 3 fair value measurement). The market approach utilized primarily the guideline company and merger and acquisition methodologies, both based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization multiple estimates of between 5.0x and 7.3x. The income approach utilized a discounted cash flow methodology. The cash flow model the Company used to estimate the fair value of the partnership investment involves several assumptions, most significantly, a discount rate of 15.0% and a projected revenue growth rate of 3.0%.

– Goodwill

As a result of its 2014 goodwill impairment review, the Company recorded goodwill impairment of $20.3 million in its Cancer Treatment Services reporting unit. In estimating the fair value of the reporting unit in connection with the impairment testing, management made estimates and judgments about future cash flows and market valuations using a combination of income and market approaches. The valuation of goodwill is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement under the fair value measurement hierarchy, which means that the valuation of assets and liabilities reflect management’s own judgments regarding the assumptions market participants would use in determining the fair value of the assets and liabilities.

In performing its impairment analyses, the Company relied primarily on an income approach, specifically a discounted cash flow analysis. Under the discounted cash flow method, cash flows beyond discrete forecasts were estimated using a terminal growth rate, which considered the long-term earnings growth rates specific to the respective reporting units. The estimated future cash flows were discounted to present value using a discount rate that was the value-weighted average of the reporting unit’s estimated cost of equity and debt derived using both known and estimated market metrics, and was adjusted to reflect risk factors that considered both the timing and risks associated with the estimated cash flows. The tax rate used in the discounted cash flow method reflected the structure in place at the time of valuation, which is consistent with the market participant perspective.

– Trade Names

In connection with the Company’s branding initiative announced in May 2014, certain acquired trade names with a carrying value of $11.0 million were written down to their estimated fair value of $2.6 million, resulting in an impairment loss of $8.4 million. Fair value was estimated using an income approach – relief from royalty method, which assumes that in lieu of ownership, a third party would be willing to pay a royalty in order to exploit the related benefits of the trade name asset (Level 3 fair value measurement). The cash flow model the Company used to estimate the fair value of the trade names involves several assumptions, most significantly, projected revenue growth rates, a pre-tax royalty rate of 1.0% declining to 0.1% over the estimated five year life of the asset and a discount rate of 17%.

Note 13 – Deferred Compensation Plans

Upon consummation of the August 31, 2012 business combination, the Company adopted a nonqualified deferred compensation savings plan (the “Savings Plan”) previously managed and held by an acquired entity. The Savings Plan is unfunded and was maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation benefits to participating employees. The Savings Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”). Once the business combination occurred, the plan participant accounts were effectively frozen; no additional contributions can be made. When a participant terminates employment for any reason, that participant is entitled to begin receiving their accrued benefit. Distributions are made in five equal annual installments beginning in the January following the participant’s termination. The Savings Plan accounts are not held in a trust for the exclusive benefit of the participants and, therefore, remain subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors. Savings Plan account balances may be used to guarantee the Company’s debt or as otherwise deemed necessary by the Company’s management. At December 31, 2015, the Company’s deferred compensation obligation under the Savings Plan totaled $4.5 million with $0.2 million included in other current liabilities and $4.3 million included in deferred compensation payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

The Company has recorded a liability for an unrecognized tax benefit related to a position taken on one of its 2014 and 2013 income tax returns. If recognized, the entire amount of the unrecognized tax benefit would favorably impact the effective tax rate that is reported in future periods. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had $568,000 and $142,000, respectively, of total unrecognized tax benefits, including accrued interest and penalties, which is included in current deferred tax assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Company anticipates that the total unrecognized tax benefit will increase $426,000 within the next twelve months due to an increase in the balance underlying the tax position. No other uncertain tax positions were noted during the Company’s evaluation of uncertain tax positions, which was performed for the tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of December 31, 2015, which includes the tax years 2012 through 2015.

        Although realization is not assured, the Company believes that the realization of the recognized deferred tax assets of $13.4 million at December 31, 2015 is more likely than not based upon the projected future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, the potential to carryback a portion of its deferred tax net operating losses and, for one tax-paying component of the Company, the availability of viable tax strategies that could be implemented to positively impact taxable income in order to realize the recorded deferred tax asset. The Company has significant deferred tax liabilities related to finite-lived intangible assets that will reverse at a rate similar to the reversal of its significant deferred tax assets, such that, even if the Company fails to generate future positive cumulative book taxable income, it will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets. Management considered the magnitude and duration of recent taxable losses and profitability and concluded that, although management expects future taxable income in 2016 and following years, due to the cumulative taxable loss incurred over the three years ended December 31, 2015, management could not conclude that future taxable income alone would support not having a valuation allowance.

At December 31, 2015, the Company had available unused net operating loss carryforwards of $4.2 million that may be available to reduce future income tax liabilities. These loss carryforwards expire in 2031.

Note 15 – Share-Based Payment

Pursuant to the USMD Holdings, Inc. 2010 Equity Compensation Plan (the “Equity Compensation Plan”), the Company may issue up to 2.5 million equity awards to employees, nonemployee directors and nonemployee service providers in the form of stock options, stock and stock appreciation rights. Stock options may be granted with a contractual life of up to ten years. At December 31, 2015, the Company had 0.3 million shares available for grant under the Equity Compensation Plan.

The fair value of stock option awards on the date of grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires the Company to make certain predictive assumptions. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield of U.S. Treasury zero-coupon securities that correspond to the expected life of the award. As a recently formed public entity with a small public float and limited trading of its common shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market, it was not practicable for the Company to estimate the volatility of its common shares; therefore, management estimated volatility based on the historical volatilities of a small group of companies considered as close to comparable to the Company as available and an industry index, all equally weighted, over the expected life of the option. Management concluded that this group is more characteristic of the Company’s business than a broad industry index. The expected life of awards granted represents the period of time that the awards are expected to be outstanding based on the “simplified” method, which is allowed for companies that cannot reasonably estimate the expected life of options based on its historical award exercise experience. The Company does not expect to pay dividends on its common stock. Due to the nature of the grants, the company estimated zero option forfeitures. Share-based payment expense is recorded only for those awards that are expected to vest. Weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model for stock options granted were as follows:

 

     Years Ended December 31,
     2015    2014

Risk-free interest rate

   1.80%    1.87%

Expected volatility of common stock

   37.0%    42.1%

Expected life of options

   6.2 years    5.8 years

Dividend yield

   0.00%    0.00%

The Black-Scholes option pricing model was developed for estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Because option valuation models require the use of subjective assumptions, changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value of the options. The Company’s options do not have the characteristics of exchange traded options and, therefore, the option valuation models do not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the fair value of stock options. A summary of stock option activity for the year ended December 31, 2015 is as follows:

The fair value of stock options vested and share-based payment expense recognized for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $1.0 million and $1.3 million, respectively, and is included in salaries, wages and employee benefits. At December 31, 2015, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based payment awards was $2.0 million, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 2.6 years.

Of the shares of common stock described as issued above, 19,501 shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be transferred without an effective registration statement or pursuant to an appropriate exemption from such act.

Salary Deferral Plan

On May 5, 2014, USMD’s Board of Directors approved and established the Salary Deferral Plan (the “Deferral Plan”). On July 18, 2014, the holder of a majority of USMD’s outstanding voting stock approved the Deferral Plan by written consent in lieu of a special meeting. The Company mailed an information statement on Schedule 14C to shareholders on or about July 22, 2014 informing the shareholders of the creation of the Deferral Plan. The Deferral Plan went into effect on August 11, 2014, 20 days after the information statement was mailed as required by law. The Deferral Plan permits the Company to defer the payment of a predetermined portion of a participant’s base salary each calendar quarter. The plan administrator will decide after the end of each quarter whether deferred amounts, if any, will be paid in the form of cash, shares of common stock or a combination of both. Any shares of common stock issued under the Deferral Plan will be issued from the shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the Equity Compensation Plan, as amended.

On March 5, 2015, in payment of salaries deferred in 2014 under the Deferral Plan, the Company issued 15,700 shares of its common stock to certain executives and members of senior management. The shares had a grant date fair value of $150,000 and were issued pursuant to the Equity Compensation Plan.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, pursuant to the Deferral Plan, the Company granted and issued 102,578 shares of its common stock.

Registration of Common Shares

On July 14, 2014, USMD filed a registration statement on Form S-8 to register with the SEC approximately 1.7 million shares of USMD common stock available for issuance under the Equity Compensation Plan and the Deferral Plan. The registration statement became effective upon filing.

Note 16 – Earnings (Loss) per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Company’s stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including fully vested common shares that have been granted, but not yet issued. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding had the potentially dilutive common shares been issued. Securities that are potentially dilutive to common shares include outstanding stock options and the convertible subordinated notes. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share when the effect would be antidilutive.

Dilutive potential common shares related to stock options are calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, which assumes that proceeds from the exercise of stock options are used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. Proceeds from the exercise of stock options include the amount the employee must pay for exercising stock options, the amount of compensation cost for future services that the Company has not yet recognized and the amount of tax benefits that would be recorded in additional paid-in capital when the award becomes deductible. The number of shares remaining represents the potentially dilutive effect of the securities. Stock options are only dilutive to the extent that the average market price of common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options.

Dilutive common shares related to the convertible subordinated notes are calculated in accordance with the if-converted method. Under the if-converted method, if dilutive, net income (loss) attributable to the Company’s stockholders is adjusted to add back the amount of after-tax interest charges recognized in the period, including any deemed interest from a beneficial conversion feature, and the convertible subordinated notes are assumed to have been converted with the resulting common shares added to weighted average shares outstanding. These securities are only dilutive to the extent that the after-tax interest charges per common share exceed basic earnings per share.

Note 17 – Commitments and Contingencies

Financial Guarantees

As of December 31, 2015, the Company had issued guarantees to third parties of the indebtedness and other obligations of certain of its current and one former nonconsolidated investees. Should the investees fail to pay the obligations due, the Company could be required to make payments totaling an aggregate of $24.6 million. The guarantees provide for recourse against the investee; however, generally, if the Company was required to perform under the guarantees, recovery of any amount from investees would be unlikely. Included in the guarantee amount above is the Company’s guarantee of 46.4% of the obligations of USMD Arlington that were incurred to finance the Advance to the Company. If the Company was required to perform under that guarantee or record a liability for that guarantee, its obligations under the Advance would likely decrease by an equal amount. The remaining terms of these guarantees range from 31 to 149 months. The Company records a liability for performance under financial guarantees when, upon review of available financial information of the nonconsolidated affiliate and in consideration of pertinent factors, management determines that it is probable it will have to perform under the respective guarantee and the liability is reasonably estimable. The Company has not recorded a liability for these guarantees, as it believes it is not probable that it will have to perform under these agreements.

Gain Contingency – Sale of Interest in Equity Method Investee

Effective January 31, 2015, a subsidiary of the Company sold for $1.6 million its interest in a cancer treatment center that it accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The investment had a carrying value of $159,000. The interest was sold to the other owner of the cancer treatment center. The buyer issued a promissory note to the Company for the $1.6 million sale price; however, the Company concluded that only $159,000 of the note was reasonably assured of collection and recorded a note receivable in that amount. Upon collection of the $159,000 note receivable, the Company began recognizing gain on the sale as additional payments are received. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recognized an aggregate gain on the sale of $252,000, which is recorded in other gain (loss), net on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The Company had provided management services to the cancer treatment center under a long term contract and the contract was terminated with the sale of its ownership interest.

Litigation

The Company is from time to time subject to litigation and related claims and arbitration matters arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims relating to contracts and financial obligations, partnership or joint venture entity disputes and, with respect to USMD Physician Services, claims arising from the provision of professional medical services to patients. In some cases, plaintiffs may seek damages, including punitive damages that may not be covered by insurance. In other cases, claims may not be covered by insurance at all. The Company maintains professional and general liability insurance through commercial insurance carriers for claims and in amounts that the Company believes to be sufficient for its operations, although, potentially, some claims may exceed the scope and amount of coverage in effect. The Company expenses as incurred legal costs associated with litigation or other loss contingencies.

The Company accrues for a contingent loss when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of the probability of a loss and the determination as to whether a loss is reasonably estimable. These determinations are updated at least quarterly and are adjusted to reflect the effects of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and technical experts and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. To the extent there is a reasonable possibility that probable losses could exceed amounts already accrued, if any, and the additional loss or range of loss is estimable, management discloses the additional loss or range of loss. For matters where the Company has evaluated that a loss is not probable, but is reasonably possible, the Company will disclose an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss or make a statement that such an estimate cannot be made.

For lawsuits and claims where the Company can reasonably estimate a range of loss, the Company estimates a reasonably possible range of loss of $0.2 million to $0.8 million. In the remaining lawsuits and the potential claims, the parties are in the early stages of discovery and/or the plaintiffs have not made specific demands for damages. Due to these circumstances, the Company is unable to estimate a reasonably possible range of loss related to these lawsuits and claims. The Company is insured against the claims described above and believes based on the facts known to date that any damage award related to such claims would be recoverable from its insurer.

The Company is subject to various additional claims and legal proceedings that have arisen in the ordinary course of its business activities. Management believes that any liability that may ultimately result from the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Arbitration Judgment

On February 16, 2016, an arbitrator awarded the Company $1.1 million including damages, fees and interest to date. The award will continue to accrue interest until paid. The arbitration hearing stemmed from the early termination of a long-term contract by an entity to which the Company was providing management services. Though the Company believes the award is binding, the Company cannot begin execution proceedings until it has been accepted by a court with jurisdiction and has been a reduced to a final, non-appealable judgment. The Company will not recognize any award amount until it is determined to be realizable.

Resolution Agreement

On October 26, 2012, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a Mediation Settlement Agreement with an entity to which the subsidiary had provided management services under a long term contract. The entity agreed to pay the Company the sum of $650,000 to settle certain claims between the Company and the entity arising from the entity’s early termination of the contract. The Mediation Settlement Agreement required the entity to pay the Company $100,000 in November 2012 and to make 55 monthly payments of $10,000 on the first day of each month beginning December 2012. The Company concluded that collection of the settlement amount was not reasonably assured and recorded the gain as amounts were collected. Effective April 11, 2014, the Company and the entity entered into a Lump Sum Settlement Agreement, whereby for one lump sum payment of $342,500 received and recorded by the Company on April 18, 2014, all outstanding liabilities due under the Mediation Settlement Agreement were deemed to be fully paid and satisfied.

Financial Advisory Commitment

The Company has in place with an investment banking firm a financial advisory services agreement, as amended, (“FAS Agreement”). Under the FAS Agreement, the Company may be obligated to compensate the firm in cash for certain financial transactions, depending on the transaction type and size, in amounts generally equal to the greater of a minimum $1.0 million to $3.0 million, a percentage of the potential transaction value, or a fee to be determined in the future based on prevailing market rates for the services provided, subject to the review and restrictions imposed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority as further defined in the FAS Agreement. If the Company enters into a qualifying financial transaction during a one year to thirty month period subsequent to termination of the FAS Agreement, depending on the transaction type and size, the investment banking firm may be entitled to compensation under the terms of the FAS Agreement. The FAS Agreement remains in effect until terminated by either party. Pursuant to the FAS Agreement, $3.0 million of proceeds from the sale of the Lithotripsy Services business was paid to the investment banking firm. In connection with the fee for the sale of the Lithotripsy Services business, the FAS Agreement was amended to provide for a future credit of up to $1.0 million to be applied against fees incurred in future transactions. Except as noted above, the Company has not closed any transaction for which compensation is due or was paid to the investment banking firm.

Build-to-Suit Lease

For build-to-suit lease arrangements, the Company evaluates lease terms to assess whether, for accounting purposes, it should be the owner of the construction project. Under build-to-suit lease arrangements, to the extent the Company is involved in the construction of structural improvements or takes construction risk prior to commencement of a lease, the Company establishes assets and liabilities for the estimated construction costs of the shell facility. Improvements to the facility during the construction project are capitalized, and, to the extent funded by a tenant improvement allowance, the facility financing obligation is increased. Upon occupancy of facilities under build-to-suit leases, the Company assesses whether these arrangements qualify for sales recognition under the sale-leaseback accounting guidance. If the Company continues to be the deemed owner for accounting purposes, the facilities are accounted for as financing obligations. Payments the Company makes under leases in which it is considered the owner of the facility are allocated to land rental expense, based on the relative values of the land and building at the commencement of construction, reductions of the facility financing obligation and interest expense recognized on the outstanding obligation. To the extent gross future payments do not equal the recorded liability, the liability is settled upon return of the facility to the lessor. Any difference between the book value of the assets and remaining facility obligation are recorded in other income (expense), net.

The Company has entered into an arrangement to lease the majority of medical office building space in a shell facility that was under construction at the date of lease inception. In addition to its normal tenant improvements, the Company is required to install the heating, ventilation and cooling equipment and systems for its leased portion of the building. Additionally, the Company was at risk for any construction cost overruns associated with these specific structural and tenant improvements. As a result, the Company concluded that for accounting purposes, it was the deemed owner of the building during the construction period. The landlord incurred an estimated $4.4 million of construction costs and the Company incurred $0.1 million for tenant improvements. During construction, the Company recorded these amounts as construction in progress, with a corresponding build-to-suit construction financing obligation. Upon completion of the construction of the facility in December 2015, the Company evaluated derecognition of the asset and liability under the provisions for sale-leaseback transactions. The Company concluded that it had forms of continuing economic involvement in the facility, and therefore did not comply with the provisions for sale-leaseback accounting. Instead, the lease will be accounted for as a financing obligation and lease payments will be attributed to (1) a reduction of the principal financing obligation; (2) imputed interest expense; and (3) land lease expense representing an imputed cost to lease the underlying land of the facility, which is considered an operating lease. In addition, the Company recorded the underlying building asset and will depreciate it over the building’s estimated

useful life of 40 years. At the conclusion of the lease term, the Company would de-recognize both the net book values of the asset and financing obligation. At December 31, 2015, the Company has recorded a $4.3 million financing obligation in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Under the lease, after a five month rent abatement, the Company is required to pay an initial base rent of $36,000 per month, increasing 3% per year, as well as all its share of building operating expenses. The lease term expires March 31, 2026 and the Company has an option to extend the lease term for two consecutive terms of five years each.

At December 31, 2015, future minimum rent payments under the build-to-suit lease are as follows (in thousands):

Operating Lease Commitments

The Company leases certain medical and corporate office space and medical and office equipment under non-cancelable operating lease agreements expiring at various dates through 2028. The facility leases generally include renewal options with terms to be negotiated at the time of renewal and also generally require the lessee to pay all executory costs such as maintenance and insurance. Facility leases may or may not contain provisions for future rent increases, rent free periods or periods in which rent payments are reduced (abated). Total rental payments due over the lease term are charged to rent expense using the straight-line method over the term of the lease. The difference between rent expense recorded and the amount paid is credited or charged to deferred rent.

As part of its current initiatives, the Company has begun consolidating certain physician clinics into newly leased, larger clinic locations that more effectively centralize and align physicians and ancillary services. In connection with this initiative, the Company has entered into new leases and renewed existing leases of medical office building space. Generally, the Company enters into leases for existing medical office building space or for space in a completed building shell and then constructs normal tenant improvements to meet its needs, subject to landlord approval. The leases provide for tenant improvement allowances to fund the design and construction of the tenant improvements. The Company records improvements to the leased space as leasehold improvements, including the improvements financed by the landlord. Tenant improvement allowances financed by the landlord are also recorded to deferred rent and amortized as a reduction to rent expense over the term of the lease beginning at the asset in-service date. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company has recorded non-cash tenant improvement allowances of $1.7 million.

Future minimum cash lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases with an initial or remaining lease term in excess of one year are as follows for the years indicated (in thousands):

Note 19 – Employee Benefit Plans

The Company provides a 401(k) defined contribution plan for all eligible employees. Beginning January 1, 2014, the Company provides participants a safe harbor non-elective contribution. The non-elective contribution is 3% of annual compensation and is provided to all eligible employees. The non-elective contributions have a two-year vesting period. The Company’s contributions to the plan totaled $2.9 million and $3.2 million in 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Note 20 – One-Time Termination Benefits

In September 2014, in order to improve flexibility in the revenue cycle process, the Company entered into an arrangement to outsource the majority of its revenue cycle function to an external provider. Employees were first advised of the outsourcing in September; however, an approved termination benefit plan was not yet in place. During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company approved a termination plan and notified the 75 impacted employees of the plan and its benefits. The Company recognized severance expense of $0.5 million related to this termination, which is included in salaries, wages and employee benefits on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. As of December 31, 2014, all impacted employees were terminated and paid in full.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and ii) that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report because of the material weakness described below in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

Notwithstanding the material weakness discussed below, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, present fairly, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Previously Identified Material Weaknesses and Their Remediation

The material weaknesses that were previously disclosed as of December 31, 2014 were remediated as of December 31, 2015. See “Item 9A. Controls and Procedures — Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” contained in the Company’s report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and “Item 4. Controls and Procedures” contained in the Company’s subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q during 2015, for disclosure of information about the material weaknesses that were reported as a result of the Company’s annual assessment as of December 31, 2014 and remediation of those material weaknesses. As disclosed in the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the first three quarters of 2015, the Company has implemented and executed the Company’s remediation plans, and as of December 31, 2015, such remediation plans were successfully tested and the material weaknesses were deemed remediated.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Other than the actions described above under the heading “Previously Identified Material Weaknesses and Their Remediation,” there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. The design of an internal control system is based in part upon assumptions and judgments made by management about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that an internal control will be effective under all potential conditions. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance with respect to the financial statement preparation and presentation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time.

In making its assessment, management used the criteria for internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management’s assessment includes an evaluation of the design of internal control over financial reporting and testing the operating effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Management reviewed the results of its assessment with the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. Based on this assessment, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2015, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to the material weakness described below.

 

77


Table of Contents

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weakness was identified in the area of net patient service revenue:

Controls surrounding the Company’s estimation of the collectability of its accounts receivables were not performed with sufficient precision to facilitate the timely detection of recent shifts in collection trends. Specifically, top-down historical collectability ratios were utilized to estimate net receivable amounts, but such ratios were not accompanied by current and detailed collection reports at a low enough level to adequately adjust its collection estimates. Consequently, the Company’s accounts receivable estimation process resulted in recorded balances that did not accurately reflect recent trends in collectability.

In response to the material weakness identified above, management has instituted a number of actions and commenced implementation of changes in internal control. Those actions are described below.

 

    Management will enhance its controls by incorporating the review of detailed collection reports on a per encounter basis into its accounts receivable estimation process.

 

    Management will establish a continuing process for the routine evaluation and revision of the methods and assumptions supporting its collectability estimates.
