COMMUNITY HEALTH SYSTEMS, INC. ANNOUNCES

FIRST QUARTER 2020 RESULTS

 

 

FRANKLIN, Tenn. (April 28, 2020) – Community Health Systems, Inc. (NYSE: CYH) (the “Company”) today announced financial and operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

The following highlights the financial and operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

 

   

Net operating revenues totaled $3.025 billion.

 

   

Net income attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. common stockholders was $18 million, or $0.15 per share (diluted), compared with net loss of $(118) million, or $(1.04) per share (diluted), for the same period in 2019. Excluding the adjusting items as presented in the table in footnote (e) on page 13, net loss attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. common stockholders was $(1.59) per share (diluted), compared to $(0.53) per share (diluted) for the same period in 2019.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA was $309 million.

 

   

Net cash provided by operating activities was $57 million, compared with $133 million for the same period in 2019.

 

   

On a same-store basis, admissions decreased 5.2 percent and adjusted admissions decreased 4.8 percent, compared with the same period in 2019.

 

   

As discussed further below, developments related to the emergence and spread of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) resulted in a decline in patient volumes and increases in operating costs.

Net operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2020, totaled $3.025 billion, a 10.4 percent decrease, compared with $3.376 billion for the same period in 2019.

Net income attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. common stockholders was $18 million, or $0.15 per share (diluted), for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared with net loss of $(118) million, or $(1.04) per share (diluted), for the same period in 2019. Excluding the adjusting items as presented in the table in footnote (e) on page 13, net loss attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. common stockholders was $(1.59) per share (diluted), for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $(0.53) per share (diluted) for the same period in 2019. The change in tax valuation allowance (which was one of the adjusting items referenced above) had a positive impact of $240 million, or $2.10 per share (diluted), on net income attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. common stockholders, and arose from the discrete tax benefits related to the release of federal and state valuation allowances on IRC Section 163(j) interest carryforwards as a result of an increase to the deductible interest expense allowed for 2019 and 2020 under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) that was enacted during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Weighted-average shares outstanding (diluted) were 114 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, and 113 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2020, was $309 million compared with $391 million for the same period in 2019, representing a 21.0 percent decrease.

The consolidated operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2020, reflect a 13.3 percent decrease in admissions and a 12.8 percent decrease in adjusted admissions, compared with the same period in 2019. On a same-store basis, admissions decreased 5.2 percent and adjusted admissions decreased 4.8 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared with the same period in 2019. On a same-store basis, net operating revenues decreased 3.5 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared with the same period in 2019.

Commenting on the results, Wayne T. Smith, chairman and chief executive officer of Community Health Systems, Inc., said, “We are all grateful for the courage and commitment of our nation’s healthcare workers as they put the care of their patients above all else in confronting COVID-19. Across our hospitals, physicians, nurses, and everyone else on the front lines have helped to save lives. Our organization has leveraged its resources to provide a rapid, coordinated and effective response to the pandemic. Now, we are also focused on reopening services where we can, especially for patients who have deferred important surgeries, procedures and other appointments. As we continue to manage our operations through the COVID-19 pandemic, our organization is doing everything possible to limit the spread of COVID-19 and to ensure our communities continue to have access to safe, quality healthcare.”

COVID – 19 Pandemic:

Due to the decline in patient volumes as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic beginning during the second half of March, the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations and financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 included decreases in net operating revenues and increases in expenses related to supply chain and other expenditures.

As previously announced in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on April 6, 2020 (the “April 6 Form 8-K”), the Company is not able to fully quantify the impact that COVID-19 will have on its financial results during 2020, but expects developments related to COVID-19 to materially affect the Company’s financial performance in 2020. Moreover, as a result of the continuously changing and unpredictable environment related to COVID-19, as disclosed in the April 6 Form 8-K, the Company withdrew its 2020 financial guidance previously issued in its earnings release dated February 19, 2020 and is not providing further guidance in this earnings release.

Federal and state governments have passed legislation, promulgated regulations, and taken other administrative actions intended to assist healthcare providers in providing care to COVID-19 and other patients during the public health emergency. Sources of relief include the CARES Act, which was enacted on March 27, 2020, and the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act (the “PPPHCE Act”), which was enacted on April 24, 2020. The CARES Act includes $100 billion in funding to be distributed to eligible providers through the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund (the “PHSSEF”) as well as an expansion of the Medicare Accelerated and Advance Payment Program. The PPPHCE Act includes additional emergency appropriations for COVID-19 response, including $75 billion to be distributed to eligible providers through the PHSSEF.

In April 2020, the Company received approximately $245 million in payments through the PHSSEF and received accelerated Medicare payments of approximately $1.2 billion via the Medicare Accelerated and Advance Payment Program. These payments did not qualify for recognition in the three months ended March 31, 2020. PHSSEF payments (both under the CARES Act and the PPPHCE Act) are intended to compensate healthcare providers for lost revenues and incremental expenses incurred in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and are not required to be repaid provided that recipients attest to and comply with certain terms and conditions, including (in the case of payments under the CARES Act) limitations on balance billing and not using funds received from the PHSSEF to reimburse expenses or losses that other sources are obligated to reimburse (terms and conditions with respect to payments under the PPPHCE Act have not been finalized). In contrast, the payments under the Medicare Accelerated and Advance Payment Program are advances that providers must repay. The accelerated Medicare payments are interest free for up to 12 months and the program currently requires that CMS recoup the accelerated payments beginning 120 days after receipt by the provider, by withholding future Medicare fee-for-service payments for claims until such time as the full accelerated payment has been recouped. The program currently requires that any outstanding balance remaining after 12 months must be repaid by the provider or be subjected to a 10.25% interest rate.

The PHSSEF payments and accelerated payments received to date and which the Company may receive in the future under the CARES Act and the PPPHCE Act as noted above, or other legislation, will be beneficial in addressing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its results of operations and financial position. However, the Company is unable to assess the extent to which anticipated negative impacts on the Company arising from the COVID-19 pandemic will be offset by amounts and benefits received, and which the Company may receive in the future, under the CARES Act, the PPPHCE Act or other legislation.

On January 1, 2020, the Company completed the divestiture of three hospitals (in respect of which the Company received proceeds at a preliminary closing on December 31, 2019). In addition, since January 1, 2020 the Company has entered into several definitive agreements to sell a total of seven hospitals, for which the Company expects to receive aggregate proceeds of approximately $400 million. These divestitures, which are expected to be completed at various times during the second and third quarters of 2020, will mark the end of the formal portfolio rationalization strategy, which commenced in 2017. There can be no assurance that these potential divestitures subject to definitive agreements will be completed, or if they are completed, the ultimate timing of the completion of these divestitures. The Company continues to receive interest from potential acquirers for certain of its hospitals, and may, from time to time, consider selling additional hospitals following the completion of the Company’s formal portfolio rationalization strategy.

Financial and statistical data for 2019 and 2020 presented in this press release includes the operating results of divested hospitals through the effective closing date of each respective divestiture. Same-store operating results exclude the results of a hospital acquired in 2019 and the hospitals divested in 2019 and 2020.

Information About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This earnings release presents Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, which is EBITDA adjusted to add back net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and to exclude loss (gain) from early extinguishment of debt, impairment and loss on sale of businesses, expense related to government and other legal settlements and related costs, expense related to employee termination benefits and other restructuring charges, expense from settlement and fair value adjustments on the CVR agreement liability related to the Health Management Associates, Inc. (“HMA”) legal proceedings and related legal expenses, the impact of changes in estimate to increase the professional liability claims accrual recorded during the second quarter of 2019 (which estimate was further revised in the third quarter of 2019 based on updated actuarial analysis) with respect to claims incurred in 2016 and prior years and expense related to the valuation allowance recorded in the second quarter of 2019 to reserve the outstanding balance of a promissory note received from the buyer in connection with the sale of two of the Company’s hospitals in 2017, as well as income from a reduction of the valuation allowance on the outstanding balance of a promissory note from the buyer of another hospital. For information regarding why the Company believes Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors, and for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. stockholders, see footnote (c) to the Financial Highlights, Financial Statements and Selected Operating Data below.

Additionally, this earnings release presents adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. common stockholders per share (diluted), a non-GAAP financial measure, to reflect the impact on net income (loss) attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. common stockholders per share (diluted) from the selected items used in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. For information regarding why the Company believes this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors, and for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to net income (loss) attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. common stockholders per share (diluted), see footnote (e) to the Financial Highlights, Financial Statements and Selected Operating Data below.

(a)

Both financial and statistical results include the operating results of divested hospitals through the effective closing date of each respective divestiture. Same-store operating results and statistical information exclude the results of a hospital acquired in 2019 and the hospitals divested in 2019 and 2020. There were no discontinued operations reported for 2019 and 2020.

(c)

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure which consists of net income (loss) attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. before interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA, also a non-GAAP financial measure, is EBITDA adjusted to add back net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and to exclude loss (gain) from early extinguishment of debt, impairment and loss on sale of businesses, expense related to government and other legal settlements and related costs, expense related to employee termination benefits and other restructuring charges, expense from settlement and fair value adjustments on the CVR agreement liability related to the HMA legal proceedings and related legal expenses, the impact of changes in estimate to increase the professional liability claims accrual recorded during the second quarter of 2019 (which estimate was further revised in the third quarter of 2019 based on updated actuarial analysis) with respect to claims incurred in 2016 and prior years, and expense related to the valuation allowance recorded in the second quarter of 2019 to reserve the outstanding balance of a promissory note received from the buyer in connection with the sale of two of the Company’s hospitals in 2017, as well as income from a reduction of the valuation allowance on the outstanding balance of a promissory note from the buyer of another hospital. The Company has from time to time sold noncontrolling interests in certain of its subsidiaries or acquired subsidiaries with existing noncontrolling interest ownership positions. The Company believes that it is useful to present Adjusted EBITDA because it adds back the portion of EBITDA attributable to these third-party interests and clarifies for investors the Company’s portion of EBITDA generated by continuing operations. The Company reports Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by management to assess the operating performance of the Company’s hospital operations and to make decisions on the allocation of resources. Adjusted EBITDA is also used to evaluate the performance of the Company’s executive management team and is one of the primary metrics used in connection with determining short-term cash incentive compensation and the achievement of vesting criteria with respect to performance-based equity awards. In addition, management utilizes Adjusted EBITDA in assessing the Company’s consolidated results of operations and operational performance and in comparing the Company’s results of operations between periods. The Company believes it is useful to provide investors and other users of the Company’s financial statements this performance measure to align with how management assesses the Company’s results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA also is comparable to a similar metric called Consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Company’s asset-based loan facility (the “ABL Facility”), which is a key component in the determination of the Company’s compliance with some of the covenants under the ABL Facility (including the Company’s ability to service debt and incur capital expenditures), and is used to determine the interest rate and commitment fee payable under the ABL Facility (although Adjusted EBITDA does not include all of the adjustments described in the ABL Facility).

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under U.S. GAAP. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, or any other performance measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and evaluating financial performance. The Company believes such adjustments are appropriate as the magnitude and frequency of such items can vary significantly and are not related to the assessment of normal operating performance. Additionally, this calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

The following table reflects the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, as defined, to net income (loss) attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. stockholders as derived directly from the condensed consolidated financial statements (in millions):

The effect of restricted stock and stock option awards on the diluted shares calculation was an increase of 77,812 shares during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company generated a net loss attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2019, so the effect of dilutive securities is not considered because their effect would be antidilutive. If the Company had generated net income during the three months ended March 31, 2019, the effect of restricted stock and stock option awards on the diluted shares calculation would have been an increase in shares of 59,261.

The following supplemental table reconciles net income (loss) attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. common stockholders, as reported, on a per share (diluted) basis, to net income (loss) attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. common stockholders per share (diluted) with the adjustments described herein (total per share amounts may not add due to rounding). The Company believes that the presentation of non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. common stockholders per share (diluted) presents useful information to investors by highlighting the impact on net income (loss) attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. common stockholders per share (diluted) of selected items used in calculating Adjusted EBITDA which may not reflect the Company’s underlying operating performance and assisting in comparing the Company’s results of operations between periods.

(f)

Both income from operations and net income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, included non-cash expense of approximately $45 million and $38 million, respectively, primarily from impairment charges to reduce the value of long-lived assets, including allocated goodwill, at hospitals that the Company has identified for sale or has sold, and at certain underperforming hospitals. These impairment charges do not have an impact on the calculation of the Company’s financial covenants under the ABL Facility.

 

(g)

The $(0.01) per share (diluted) and $(0.03) per share (diluted) of expense for “Government and other legal settlements and related costs” for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, is the net impact of several lawsuits settled in principle during the related periods, and related legal expenses.

 

(h)

At March 31, 2020, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $380 million and approximately $239 million of additional borrowing capacity (after taking into consideration $150 million of outstanding letters of credit) under the ABL Facility.
