Organization and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

The Providence Service Corporation (“we”, the “Company” or “Providence”) is the largest manager of non-emergency medical transportation (“NET”) programs for state governments and managed care organizations (“MCOs”) in the United States (“U.S.”). The Company operates under the brands LogistiCare and Circulation. Additionally, the Company owns a minority investment in CCHN Group Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Matrix”). Matrix provides a broad array of assessment and care management services that improve health outcomes for individuals and financial performance for health plans. Matrix’s national network of community-based clinicians delivers in-home and on-site services while its fleet of mobile health clinics provide community-based care with advanced diagnostic capabilities. These solutions combined with Matrix’s advanced engagement approach, help health plans manage risks, close care gaps and connect members to care.

During 2019, the Company consolidated all activities and functions performed at the corporate holding company level into its NET Services segment (“Organizational Consolidation”). As a result of the Organizational Consolidation, the Company incurred restructuring and related organization costs. See Note 8, Restructuring and Related Reorganization Costs, for further information.

Basis of Presentation

The Company follows accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The FASB establishes accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), which serves as the single source of authoritative accounting and applicable reporting standards to be applied for non-governmental entities. All amounts are presented in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted.

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information, and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods have been included.

The Company has made estimates relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and certain disclosures in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020. Management has evaluated events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date and through the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were filed with the SEC and considered the effect of such events in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2019 included in this Form 10-Q has been derived from audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The Company accounts for its investment in Matrix using the equity method, as the Company does not control the decision-making process or business management practices of Matrix. While the Company has access to certain information and performs certain procedures to review the reasonableness of information, the Company relies on the management of Matrix to provide accurate financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company receives audit reports relating to such financial information from Matrix’s independent auditors on an annual basis. The Company is not aware of any errors in or possible misstatements of the financial information provided by Matrix that would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 5, Equity Investment, for further information.

Uncertainties due to COVID-19

In December 2019, an outbreak of a new strain of a coronavirus causing a coronavirus disease ("COVID-19"), began in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. COVID-19, as well as measures taken by governmental authorities and private actors to limit the spread of this virus, has and is likely to continue to interfere with the ability of the Company's employees, suppliers, transportation providers and other business providers to carry out their assigned tasks at ordinary levels of performance relative to the conduct of the Company’s business which may cause the Company to materially curtail certain business operations. While the Company is monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on its business and financial results, at this time the Company is unable to accurately predict the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts its business, operations and financial results.

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements reflect estimates and assumptions made by management that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and reported amounts of revenue and expenses. It is possible that these assumptions and estimates may materially change.

On March 27, 2020, the U.S. government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) which includes modifications to the limitation on business interest expense and net operating loss provisions, and provides a delay in the payment of employer federal payroll taxes during 2020 after the date of enactment. Due to the favorable impact of the CARES Act on the Company’s 2018 U.S. net operating losses ("NOLs"), the effective tax rate of 9.2% was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The 28.0% effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was not impacted by the CARES Act. See Note 12, Income Taxes, for further information.

Reclassifications

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company has separately classified the reduction of right-of-use assets in its consolidated statement of cash flows and conformed the prior period.
