Hanger Reports Fourth Quarter 2019 Results and Provides 2020 Outlook

Growth in revenue and earnings driven by favorable patient care segment performance

 

AUSTIN, Texas, March 11, 2020 - Hanger, Inc. (NYSE: HNGR), a leading provider of orthotic and prosthetic (O&P) patient care services and solutions, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2019.

 

Financial Highlights for the Fourth Quarter of 2019

 

Net revenue was $300.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019, compared to $284.9 million for the same period in 2018, reflecting growth of 5.6 percent. Patient Care segment net same clinic revenue grew by 2.9 percent.

 

Net income was $18.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019, compared to $4.5 million for the same period in 2018. Fourth quarter 2019 net income benefited from a $7.1 million reduction of certain tax valuation allowances relating to state tax deferred assets.

 

Adjusted EBITDA was $42.4 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $40.0 million for the same period in 2018, reflecting an increase of $2.3 million or 5.8 percent. Growth in Adjusted EBITDA was driven by a $16.4 million increase in Patient Care segment revenue and a resulting $5.2 million increase in segment Adjusted EBITDA.

 

GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.49 for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to $0.12 for the same period in 2018. Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.45 for the three months ended December 31, 2019, compared to $0.40 for the same period in 2018, a 12.5 percent increase year-over-year.

 

The Company introduced its 2020 financial outlook for revenue and earnings growth (see "2020 Outlook" within this release).

 

Vinit Asar, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hanger, Inc., stated, "I'm pleased with our strong finish to the year. We accomplished the key operating and financial objectives that we established at the start of 2019. Our patient care segment achieved same clinic revenue growth of 2.1 percent for the year through growth in both our prosthetics and orthotics portfolios. I believe these results have demonstrated the benefits of our strategy to elevate the value of our clinical care through a focus on patient outcomes and services, positioning us for continued momentum in 2020."

 

 

 

 

Segment Results for Three Months Ended December 31, 2019

 

Patient Care Segment

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2019, Patient Care net revenue was $253.0 million, an increase of $16.4 million or 6.9 percent, compared to the same period in 2018. Total revenue growth for the segment includes $9.1 million of revenue from O&P clinics acquired in late 2018 and early 2019, inclusive of consolidations.

 

Net same clinic revenue grew by 2.9 percent during the quarter. Revenue from prosthetics increased 4.4 percent and net revenue from orthotics grew 1.3 percent. Prosthetics comprised 57.3 percent of Patient Care segment net revenue during the fourth quarter of 2019 as compared with 56.5 percent during the same period in 2018.

 

Income from operations in the Patient Care segment was $47.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2019, reflecting growth of $5.7 million or 13.6 percent compared to the $42.2 million reported in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA for the segment was $53.6 million, which reflected a $5.2 million or 10.7 percent increase compared to the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin in the segment totaled 21.2 percent compared to 20.5 percent during the fourth quarter of 2018.

 

Products & Services Segment

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2019, Products & Services net revenue totaled $47.9 million, which reflected a decline of $0.3 million compared with the same period in 2018. Revenue from the distribution of O&P componentry increased by $0.6 million and revenue from therapeutic solutions decreased by $0.9 million.

 

Income from operations for the Products & Services segment decreased by $1.5 million to $3.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. Adjusted EBITDA for the Products & Services segment was $6.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, which reflected a $1.9 million decrease compared with the same period of 2018. The decline in therapeutic solutions revenue as well as lower margins within O&P distribution impacted segment earnings in the quarter.

 

Corporate & Other

 

Corporate and other activities segment operating expenses totaled $24.8 million for the quarter and were consistent with the same period in 2018. An increase in costs related to information technology, including the initial planning and design for the implementation of new financial and supply chain systems was offset by a decline in other overhead-related costs.

Excluding the effects of depreciation and amortization, excess third party professional fees, non-cash equity compensation expense and certain acquisition-related expenses, the net cost of corporate and other activities increased by $0.9 million to $17.8 million during the quarter, which reflected a 5.5 percent increase.

 

Net Income; Interest Expense

 

Interest expense totaled $8.3 million in the three month period ended December 31, 2019, a decline of $0.8 million compared to the same period of 2018.

 

Due primarily to favorable patient care segment results, income before taxes grew by 36.1 percent in the quarter to $18.4 million. After incorporating the effect of taxes, net income totaled $18.8 million compared with $4.5 million for the same period in 2018. Growth in net income benefited in part by the reduction of a $7.1 million valuation allowance on certain state deferred tax assets.

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2019, GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.49, compared to $0.12 per share in 2018. Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.45 for the three months ended December 31, 2019, compared to $0.40 per share for the same period in 2018.

 

Financial Highlights for the Year Ended December 31, 2019

 

Net revenue was $1,098.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $1,048.8 million for the same period of 2018, reflecting net revenue growth of 4.7 percent. For the twelve month period, acquisitions that occurred in late 2018 and early 2019 contributed $28.9 million to net revenue growth, inclusive of consolidations.

 

Patient Care net revenue grew $48.3 million, or 5.6 percent, for the year to $905.7 million. Net same clinic revenue growth for 2019 totaled 2.1 percent. The number of clinic operating days was equivalent for both 2019 and 2018.

 

For the full year of 2019, excluding the effect of acquisitions, revenue from prosthetics increased by 3.2 percent, while orthotics revenue increased by 0.9 percent.

 

Products & Services segment net revenue grew $1.0 million, or 0.5 percent, driven by growth of $7.4 million in distribution services, offset by a $6.4 million decrease in revenue from therapeutic solutions. The revenue decline in therapeutic solutions was within the range originally anticipated for 2019.

Net income was $27.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to a $0.9 million net loss for the same period in 2018. Results for the period ending December 31, 2018 included a $17.0 million pre-tax loss on the extinguishment of debt related to the Company’s March 2018 refinancing, which was partially offset by a $3.7 million one-time gain related to favorable settlements.

 

Adjusted EBITDA of $124.2 million for 2019 compares with the $121.1 million reported in the prior year.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2019, GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.72, compared to a loss of $0.02 per share in 2018. Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.90 for 2019, compared to $0.78 per share for the same period in 2018.

 

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities; Liquidity

 

Cash flows provided by operating activities for the three months ending December 31, 2019 were $38.9 million compared to $41.4 million for the same period in 2018. This decrease related in part to expenditures of $1.7 million incurred in the fourth quarter of 2019 related to the Company's implementation of cloud computing systems associated with its supply chain and financial systems project.

 

On December 31, 2019, the Company had liquidity of $169.2 million, comprised of $74.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, and $94.8 million in available borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility, compared to liquidity of $144.8 million on September 30, 2019.

 

2020 Outlook

 

The Company currently anticipates 2020 net revenue in a range between $1.125 billion and $1.155 billion, and Adjusted EBITDA in a range between $129.0 million and $134.0 million.

 

It is expected that revenue and earnings growth will primarily be driven by continued same clinic growth and margin expansion in its Patient Care segment. Products & Services segment revenue is anticipated to decline modestly due to the discontinuance of the distribution of some low-margin orthotics products to podiatrists.

 

The Company's outlook for 2020 includes approximately $27 million in revenue relating to the full year of contribution of acquisitions previously completed in 2019 and acquisitions having signed definitive agreements as of March 5, 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA is provided on a non-GAAP basis only because a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP financial measure, net income, is not available without unreasonable effort due to the unpredictable nature of reconciling items that render such a reconciliation not meaningful for investors.

Segment Information: Revenue, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

(in thousands)

 

EBITDA is defined as operating income before depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as operating income before certain charges, impairments of intangible assets, third-party professional fees in excess of normal amounts incurred in connection with our financial statement remediation, debt extinguishment costs, expenses associated with equity-based compensation, severance expenses, certain expenses incurred in connection with our acquisitions, and certain other charges.

 

We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as measures to assess the relative level of our indebtedness and our compliance with certain debt covenants which are based on these measures. Additionally, we utilize these measures to assess our operating and financial performance. We believe that these measures enhance a user’s understanding of normal operating income excluding certain charges, depreciation and amortization.

 

Neither EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA are measures of financial performance computed in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for operating income, net income, cash flows from operations, or other statement of operations or cash flow data prepared in conformity with GAAP, or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. In addition, the calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is susceptible to varying interpretations and calculations, and the amounts presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be indicative of historical operating results, and we do not intend these measures to be predictive of future results of operations.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

 

Earnings Per Share (or “EPS”) is defined as net income divided by our diluted common shares during the applicable period. Adjusted EPS is defined as EPS adjusted for impairments of intangible assets, third-party professional fees in excess of normal amounts incurred in connection with our financial statement remediation, debt extinguishment costs, severance expenses, certain expenses incurred in connection with our acquisitions, and certain other charges.

 

We utilize Adjusted EPS to assess our operating and financial performance. We believe that this measure enhances a user’s understanding of normal operating results excluding certain charges.

 

Adjusted EPS is not a measure of financial performance computed in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for operating income, net income, cash flows from operations, or other statement of operations or cash flow data prepared in conformity with GAAP, or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. In addition, the calculation of Adjusted EPS is susceptible to varying interpretations and calculations, and the amounts presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EPS may not be indicative of historical operating results, and we do not intend these measures to be predictive of future results of operations.

Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

(in thousands)

 

EBITDA is defined as operating income before depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as operating income before certain charges, impairments of intangible assets, third-party professional fees in excess of normal amounts incurred in connection with our financial statement remediation, debt extinguishment costs, expenses associated with equity-based compensation, severance expenses, certain expenses incurred in connection with our acquisitions, and certain other charges.

 

We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as measures to assess the relative level of our indebtedness and our compliance with certain debt covenants which are based on these measures. Additionally, we utilize these measures to assess our operating and financial performance. We believe that these measures enhance a user’s understanding of normal operating income excluding certain charges, depreciation and amortization.

 

Neither EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA are measures of financial performance computed in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for operating income, net income, cash flows from operations, or other statement of operations or cash flow data prepared in conformity with GAAP, or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. In addition, the calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is susceptible to varying interpretations and calculations, and the amounts presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be indicative of historical operating results, and we do not intend these measures to be predictive of future results of operations.
