(1)  
Attain Fertility Centers segment revenue reflects the consolidation of the Company’s former Fertility Centers and Consumer Services segments into one unit comprising all fertility-related businesses.  Prior year periods have been consolidated to reflect those results as if the consolidation occurred on January 1, 2009.
(2)  
IntegraMed uses the term "Adjusted EBITDA" when reporting financial results in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules regarding the use of financial measures not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a management tool to measure and monitor financial performance.  The definition of Adjusted EBITDA contained herein corresponds to the definition of Adjusted EBITDA contained in the Company’s credit facility; certain of the covenants contained therein are tied to Adjusted EBITDA.  While providing useful information, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation as a measure of financial performance under GAAP.  Investors should be aware that Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies and comparisons could be misleading unless all companies and analysts calculate this measure in the same fashion.  A reconciliation to Adjusted EBITDA is provided as supplemental data for this release.

 
 

 


Jay Higham, CEO, commented, “As previously reviewed, the substantial startup costs required to open ten new Vein Clinics, combined with some unforeseen operational developments, significantly impacted our Q3 results.  Despite these issues we were able to achieve healthy top-line growth in both our fertility and vein clinics segments and deliver profitable results and healthy cash flow during the quarter.

“Our Attain® Fertility Centers division achieved year-over-year growth in revenue and contribution for the quarter and year-to-date periods.  We remain focused on supporting this growth with new fertility center acquisitions, ‘in market mergers’ such as last month’s agreement at our Orlando fertility center and the expansion of our network of Attain IVF treatment financing program affiliates.  Our Vein Clinics segment also achieved healthy top-line growth, though its contribution decline clearly reflects the near-term impact of the investments we are making to substantially expand our vein clinic base.  Excluding the impact of the start up costs, Vein Clinics contribution would have turned in another quarter of solid growth.

“We remain optimistic regarding the potential to grow our organization across each of our physician specialties and look forward to the contribution from our expanding vein clinic operations as we progress through 2011.  By pursuing a combination of organic and inorganic growth, we believe we can further leverage our operational model to deliver strong cash flow and shareholder value.”

Beginning with Q2 2010 results, IntegraMed combined the operations of its Fertility Centers and Consumer Services divisions into the “Attain Fertility Centers” division, in an effort to improve operations and simplify the corporate organization from an external perspective.  “Partners” refer to fertility centers managed by IntegraMed and “Affiliates” refer to fertility centers that only offer the Company’s Attain IVF (in-vitro fertilization) Program of fertility treatment financing options.

The increase in Attain Fertility Centers division revenue was driven by strong growth from the Attain IVF Program combined with more modest growth from fertility partners.  The Attain IVF Program continues to resonate very powerfully with value conscious patients and the fertility centers that are seeking their business.  Growth within the Attain IVF Program is being achieved through active direct-to-consumer marketing as well as the net addition of three new affiliates over the past year.

Mr. Higham, added, “While certain markets such as Florida have experienced some ongoing challenges, other markets continue to achieve healthy performance as does the business as a whole.  We remain optimistic in the potential to drive long term growth of our fertility business through the addition of new partner center contracts, by supporting the growth of existing partners and an ongoing effort to seek new Affiliates centers that will help expand the reach of our Attain IVF Financing programs.”

Vein Clinics revenue growth reflects the benefit of consumer outreach initiatives and operational efficiency initiatives undertaken over the past year that have driven an increase in First Leg Starts.  The benefit of these efforts is reflected in same store revenue growth of approximately 13% despite the impact of the loss of two vein clinic physicians early in the quarter.  Q3 operating income or “contribution” in the vein clinics segment declined 89% year over year, principally reflecting the impact of approximately $1.2 million in start up and infrastructure costs related to the planned growth in clinics.

IntegraMed opened one new vein clinic in Q3 ’10, one in October and expects to open seven additional vein clinics during Q4 ’10 along with one in Q1’ 11 – for a total of ten clinics.  In addition, the Company announced today its plans to open five additional vein clinics with Interventional Radiology (IR) capabilities during the second and third quarters of 2011.  The five IR clinics are planned for established VCA markets where clinic ramp-up times tend to benefit from existing market awareness and referral programs.  Startup costs related to these five additional clinics are estimated to be between $1.75-$2.25 million and will impact 2011 reported results principally during Q2 and Q3.

Mr. Higham, concluded, “We are on track to open the first phase of our VCA clinic expansion over the next few months, having completed the opening of the first two clinics in September and October.  We have also laid the groundwork on our second phase of openings slated for mid 2011, having identified the locations and commenced physician recruitment.  The very attractive historical returns we have achieved on new clinic expansion have confirmed this as an excellent growth opportunity for our company.  While the next few quarters will reflect substantial vein clinic start up costs, we believe each new clinic can begin to deliver positive contribution within three-to-nine months from opening.  Revenue from this new clinic development, which in aggregate expands our vein clinic footprint by 15 clinics, or 43%, to a total of 50 vein clinics, should provide a material benefit to 2011 results, beginning in Q2, which is historically our strongest quarter in this business. With over 90% of our vein care patients having their costs covered by insurance, we believe we can achieve healthy growth even during periods of economic challenge.”

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet
IntegraMed CFO, John Hlywak, commented, “Our improving balance sheet demonstrates the health and cash flow generation strength of our business, even during a somewhat sluggish economy.  IntegraMed’s cash and equivalents rose to $52.2 million, versus $28.9 million at year-end 2009.  The increase, net of investments in new vein clinic development and the repayment of a line of credit, principally reflects cash flow from operating activities of approximately $19.4 million in the first nine months of 2010 as well as $19 million in net proceeds from the Company’s February public common stock offering.”

Outlook
In addition to vein clinic start up costs estimated at approximately $1.2 million, Q4 results will also be impacted by the loss of approximately $2 million in revenue related to higher than normal physician turnover in both segments and seasonal embryology lab closures in the fertility division.  Given the high fixed cost nature of IntegraMed’s businesses, these revenue disruptions have an amplified affect on bottom line performance.

 
 

 



As a result of these factors, IntegraMed anticipates Q4 net income will decline by approximately 36% versus the prior year.  Due to the dilution from the 2.8 million share offering in February, Q4 EPS is expected to decline by approximately 50% versus Q4 ’09.

2011 revenue is expected to benefit from ongoing organic growth in the Attain Fertility Centers segment as well as the potential for Partner contract acquisitions and new Attain IVF program affiliates, and the Vein Clinics segment is expected to benefit from continued growth at existing clinics as well as the benefit from revenues of newly opened clinics.  Contribution and net income in 2011 will be tempered by vein clinic start-up costs totaling approximately $3.0 million - $3.5 million and spread principally across the first three quarters of the year.  However these costs should be increasingly offset by contributions from new vein clinics starting modestly in Q2 2011 and ramping thereafter.
