Exhibit 99.1
SURGERY PARTNERS, INC. ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2020 RESULTS
BRENTWOOD, Tenn., August 5, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Surgery Partners, Inc. (NASDAQ:SGRY) ("Surgery Partners" or the "Company"), a leading short-stay surgical facility owner and operator, today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.
•Revenues decreased 15.9% from the prior year period to $374.7 million
◦Adjusted Revenues decreased 15.5% to $382.6 million
◦Same-facility Revenues decreased 18.6% from the prior year period
•Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $42.2 million, with net loss attributable to Surgery Partners, Inc. of $32.5 million.
◦Adjusted EBITDA decreased 4.9% over the prior year period to $58.2 million
Wayne DeVeydt, Executive Chairman of the Board of Surgery Partners, stated, “The strength of our business model and the execution of our leadership team and front-line associates has enabled Surgery Partners to persevere during this pandemic which was evident in our second quarter results. We are cautiously optimistic that we can maintain our current trajectory for the second half of 2020 and we remain confident in our long-term growth model.”
“Our confidence in our model and our value proposition was underscored yesterday by the 2021 Medicare hospital outpatient prospective payment system (OPPS) and ambulatory surgical center (ASC) payment system proposal from CMS, potentially eliminating over 300 musculoskeletal procedures from the Inpatient-Only list and also proposing the addition of eleven new procedures to the ASC covered procedures list, including total hip replacements.”
Eric Evans, Chief Executive Officer of Surgery Partners, stated, "The COVID-19 pandemic has affected operations unlike anything else in recent history. Surgical volumes bottomed out in April but recovered to near 2019 levels by the end of June, a trend that has continued into July and early August scheduling. This recovery is a testament to the efforts of our team members and the value of our short-stay surgical model to the healthcare ecosystem."
"As patient and provider safety is of the utmost importance, we have been implementing very strict protocols in concert with CDC guidelines so that our facilities can continue to be a safe haven for elective surgeries. Our results for the second quarter validate our efforts to manage expenses responsibly as volumes increased from April to June. Even in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been encouraged by our physician recruiting efforts and by the continued transition of surgeries to lower cost settings. We anticipate continued constructive engagement with health systems and health plans, who appreciate the quality, access and value of our model."
Tom Cowhey, Chief Financial Officer of Surgery Partners commented, “Our investments over the past few years in our core infrastructure, along with our data-driven decision-making approach, have enabled the requisite agility necessary to manage our business during these uncertain times. We are encouraged by the efforts of our associates and physician partners as we continue to open our surgical facilities and prepare for the new opportunities that we believe will be available to our business on the other side of this crisis."
Second Quarter 2020 Results
Adjusted Revenues for the second quarter of 2020 decreased 15.5% to $382.6 million from $452.8 million for the second quarter of 2019. Same-facility Revenues for the second quarter of 2020 decreased 18.6% from the same period last year, with a 32.4% increase in revenue per case offset by a 38.6% decrease in same-facility cases (there were the same number of business days in both periods). For the second quarter of 2020, the Company’s net loss attributable to common stockholders and Adjusted EBITDA was $42.2 million and $58.2 million, respectively, compared to $28.6 million and $61.2 million for the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA benefited from approximately $27 million of CARES Act grants recognized as Grant Funds offsetting operating expenses.

Year to Date 2020 Results
Adjusted Revenues year-to-date 2020 decreased 5.1% over the prior year period to $833.2 million. Days adjusted Same-facility Revenues for year-to-date 2020 decreased 9.1%, with a 20.2% increase in revenue per case and a 24.3% decrease in same-facility cases. For year-to-date 2020, the Company's net loss attributable to common stockholders and Adjusted EBITDA were $79.2 million and $104.7 million, respectively, compared to $57.2 million and $112.0 million for the same period last year.
Liquidity
Surgery Partners had cash and cash equivalents of $326.3 million and $113.2 million of borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility at June 30, 2020. Cash flows from operating activities was $211.1 million in the second quarter of 2020, an increase of 347.2% compared to the prior year quarter. Net operating cash inflows, defined as operating cash flows less distributions to non-controlling interests, was $154.2 million for the second quarter of 2020. The Company’s ratio of total net debt to EBITDA, as calculated under the Company’s credit agreement, was 7.0x at the end of the second quarter of 2020.
On July 30, 2020, the Company issued an additional $115.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 10.00% Senior Notes due April 15, 2027 and used the proceeds for general corporate purposes and to fund growth-related activities, including, but not limited to, service line expansions, physician recruiting, technology infrastructure investments and potential acquisitions.
The Company is closely monitoring legislative actions at the federal, state and local levels including the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and other governmental assistance that might be available. As of June 30, 2020, we received relief via the CARES Act, including approximately $48 million in direct grant payments and approximately $120 million of accelerated payments pursuant to the Medicare Accelerated and Advance Payment Program. Approximately $43 million of CARES grants were recognized as Grant Funds as an offset to operating expenses during the second quarter. Grant Funds increased Adjusted EBITDA by approximately $27 million during the second quarter, after accounting for minority interest. The direct grant payments are not required to be repaid, subject to certain terms and conditions, while payments received under the Medicare Accelerated and Advance Payment Program are required to be repaid. Additionally, the CARES Act permits the deferral of payment of the social security payroll tax match for the remainder of 2020, with half of the deferred amount due December 2021 and the other half due December 2022. Deferral of the social security payroll tax match, which we began doing in April 2020, along with the funds received under the CARES Act as noted above, have positively impacted our cash flows from operations during 2020.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Dollars in millions)
The following table reconciles Adjusted Revenues to revenues in the selected consolidated financial information, the most directly comparable GAAP measure:
| Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2020 | 2019 | 2020 | 2019 | ||||||||||||||||||||
Adjusted Revenues (1): | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Revenues | $ | 374.7 | $ | 445.4 | $ | 815.7 | $ | 862.2 | |||||||||||||||
| Add: provision for doubtful accounts | 7.9 | 7.4 | 17.5 | 15.5 | |||||||||||||||||||
| Total Adjusted Revenues | $ | 382.6 | $ | 452.8 | $ | 833.2 | $ | 877.7 | |||||||||||||||
(1) In accordance with an accounting standard that was effective prospectively beginning January 1, 2018, we reflected our estimated provision for doubtful accounts net of revenues rather than as an operating expense, as it had historically been presented. Adjusted Revenues adds back the estimated provision for doubtful accounts. We believe such an adjustment is appropriate, as the new standard did not affect historical results prior to 2018, which impacts historical comparability. Our calculation of adjusted revenues may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

(1) For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, this amount includes transaction and integration costs of $4.9 million and $6.2 million, respectively, and other acquisition costs and start-up costs related to a de novo surgical hospital of $5.2 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, this amount includes transaction and integration costs of $10.4 million and $8.2 million, respectively, and other acquisition costs and start-up costs related to a de novo surgical hospital of $12.3 million and $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
(2) This amount includes other litigation costs of $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, with no comparable costs in the 2019 period. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, this amount includes litigation settlement costs of $1.2 million and other litigation costs of $2.6 million, with no comparable costs in the 2019 period.
(3) Included in other income in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020, with no comparable gain in the same 2019 period.
(4) We use Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by management to assess operating performance, make business decisions and allocate resources. Non-controlling interests represent the interests of third parties, such as physicians, and in some cases, healthcare systems that own an interest in surgical facilities that we consolidate for financial reporting purposes. We believe that it is helpful to investors to present Adjusted EBITDA as defined above because it excludes the portion of net income attributable to these third-party interests and clarifies for investors our portion of Adjusted EBITDA generated by our surgical facilities and other operations.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income or any other measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. The items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and evaluating our financial performance. We believe 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. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

SURGERY PARTNERS, INC.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts, shares in thousands)
From time to time, the Company incurs certain non-recurring gains or losses that are normally non-operational in nature and that it does not consider relevant in assessing its ongoing operating performance. When significant, Surgery Partners’ management and Board of Directors typically exclude these gains or losses when evaluating the Company’s operating performance and in certain instances when evaluating performance for incentive compensation purposes. Additionally, the Company believes that certain investors and equity analysts exclude these or similar items when evaluating the Company’s current or future operating performance and in making informed investment decisions regarding the Company. Accordingly, the Company provides adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders and adjusted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders as supplements to the comparable GAAP measures. Adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders and adjusted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders should not be considered measures of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded from such measures are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance.
