Diversicare Announces 2018 Third Quarter Results

BRENTWOOD, TN, (November 1, 2018) –Diversicare Healthcare Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: DVCR), a premier provider of long-term care services, today announced its results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018.

Third Quarter 2018 Highlights

• Net loss from continuing operations was $(7.4) million, or $(1.15) per share, in the third quarter of 2018, compared to net loss from continuing operations of $(0.6) million, or $(0.09) per share, in the third quarter of 2017. The loss in the third quarter of 2018 was mainly attributable to a litigation contingency expense of $6.4 million related to an ongoing Department of Justice (“DOJ”) investigation.

• Our adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $3.4 million, compared to $3.9 million in the third quarter of 2017.

• Under the new Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 606, net revenue was $141.4 million in the third quarter of 2018. In accordance with ASC 606, revenue for the third quarter of 2017 was not restated. Revenue for the third quarter of 2018 under legacy GAAP was $145.1 million, compared to $146.4 million in the third quarter of 2017, a decrease of $1.3 million or 1.0%. However, on a same store basis quarterly Revenue under legacy GAAP increased by $0.4 million.

• The Company did not declare a quarterly dividend for the quarter ending December 31, 2018.

See below for a reconciliation of all GAAP and non-GAAP financial results.

CEO Remarks

“As previously announced, Kerry Massey joined our team as Chief Financial Officer of Diversicare on September 10, 2018. Kerry has already proven to be a valuable addition to our team and we look forward to continuing to benefit from his experience and expertise,” said Jay McKnight, President and Chief Executive Officer of Diversicare.

Commenting on the quarter’s results, Jay said, "This was definitely a challenging quarter as we accrued $6.4 million related to an ongoing government investigation, which I discuss further below. Subsequent to the quarter, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to sell our three centers held for sale in Kentucky for a collective sales price of $18.7 million, which is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2018. As required by the Company’s bank agreements, the proceeds from the sale will be used to retire debt.

Mr. McKnight continued, “As always, our primary focus is caring for our residents and patients who have been entrusted to us. I am proud of our dedicated and hardworking team members as we continue to lead our peer group in quality measures.”

DOJ Investigation Progress

Explaining the $6.4 million reserve taken in the quarter, Mr. McKnight said, “As we have previously reported, the Company has been the subject of an ongoing investigation by the DOJ regarding potential violations of the False Claims Act related to periods as far back as 2010. The process has developed to the point that the Company has determined to accrue in this quarter $6.4 million as a contingent liability in connection with this matter.The Company cannot predict whether a settlement can be achieved, the outcome of the litigation if there is no settlement or the length of time necessary to conclude this matter.  Because the outcome of this investigation remains uncertain, the amount ultimately incurred in connection with the resolution of this matter could differ materially from the current accrual, as the Company cannot at this time estimate the possible range of loss that may result from either a settlement or litigation of this matter. The Company denies any wrong doings and will vigorously defend its actions in the event a settlement is not reached. Please review our disclosures and risk factors in our SEC filings for more information."

The difference between patient revenues for the third quarter of 2018 is primarily due to the implementation of ASC 606. Refer to Note 4 "Revenue Recognition" to the interim consolidated financial statements. The following summarizes the revenue fluctuations attributable to changes in our portfolio (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2018				2017
	As reported		As adjusted to Legacy GAAP		As reported		Change
Same-store revenue	$	139,083	$	142,717	$	142,321	$	396
2017 acquisition revenue	2,348		2,348		2,244		104
2017 disposition revenue	—		—		1,812		(1,812		)
Total revenue	$	141,431	$	145,065	$	146,377	$	(1,312	)

Our average Medicaid rate per patient day for the third quarter of 2018 increased compared to the third quarter of 2017, resulting in increases in revenue of $1.9 million or 2.5%. Conversely, the average Medicare rate per patient day for the third quarter of 2018 decreased compared to the third quarter of 2017, resulting in decreases in revenue of $0.2 million or 0.8%. Our Hospice average daily census for the third quarter of 2018 increased $1.3 million or 20.6%. Conversely, our Medicare, Managed Care, Medicaid and Private average daily census for the third quarter of 2018 decreased $1.6 million, $0.6 million, $0.7 million and $2.2 million, respectively, or 5.3%, 6.2%, 0.9% and 17.9%, respectively. Our ancillary revenue for the third quarter of 2018 increased $0.6 million.

Operating Expense

Operating expense decreased in the third quarter of 2018 to $113.8 million as compared to $118.1 million in the third quarter of 2017. Operating expense decreased as a percentage of revenue at 80.5% for the third quarter of 2018 as compared to 80.7% for the third quarter of 2017. The following table summarizes the expense fluctuations attributable to changes in our portfolio (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2018				2017
	As reported		As adjusted to Legacy GAAP		As reported		Change
Same-store operating expense	$	112,066	$	115,969	$	114,868	$	1,101
2017 acquisition expense	1,733		1,733		1,863		(130		)
2017 disposition expense	—		—		1,373		(1,373		)
Total expense	$	113,799	$	117,702	$	118,104	$	(402	)

Our operating expenses decreased by $0.4 million, which is attributable to favorable variances in nursing and ancillary costs and dietary expenses of $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, in third quarter of 2018 compared to the third quarter of 2017. This was partially offset by unfavorable variances in salaries and related taxes and health insurance costs of $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in third quarter of 2018 compared to the third quarter of 2017.

One of the largest components of operating expenses is wages, which increased to $69.9 million during the third quarter of 2018 as compared to $69.4 million in the third quarter of 2017.

Lease expense in the third quarter of 2018 remained consistent with the third quarter of 2017 at $13.8 million.

Professional liability expense was $2.9 million and $2.6 million in the third quarters of 2018 and 2017, respectively. Our cash expenditures for professional liability costs of continuing operations stayed consistent at $1.7 million for the third quarters of 2018 and 2017, respectively. Professional liability expense fluctuates based on the results of our third-party professional liability actuarial studies and cash expenditures are incurred to defend and settle existing claims. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in our 2018 third quarter 10-Q for further discussion of the accrual for professional liability.

The Company recorded a contingent liability related to the DOJ investigation for $6.4 million in the third quarter of 2018. The Company denies any wrong doing and is prepared to vigorously defend its actions. The Company’s ultimate ability to settle this investigation will depend on several factors, including whether the amount and terms of an acceptable settlement can be reached with the DOJ. Refer to Note 6 to the interim consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

General and administrative expense was $7.5 million in the third quarter of 2018 as compared to $8.1 million in the third quarter of 2017. General and administrative expense decreased as a percentage of revenue to 5.3% in the third quarter of 2018 from 5.5% in the third quarter of 2017. The change in general and administrative expense is attributable to a decrease in salaries and related taxes of $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2018 as compared to the third quarter of 2017.

Depreciation and amortization expense in the third quarter of 2018 remained consistent with the third quarter of 2017 at $3.0 million.

Interest expense in the third quarter of 2018 remained consistent with the third quarter of 2017 at $1.7 million.

As a result of the above, continuing operations reported a loss of $7.6 million before income taxes for the third quarter of 2018 as compared to a loss of $0.9 million for the third quarter of 2017. The benefit for income taxes was $0.2 million for the third quarter of 2018, and the benefit for income taxes was $0.3 million for the third quarter of 2017. Both basic and diluted loss per common share from continuing operations were $1.15 for the third quarter of 2018 as compared to both basic and diluted loss per common share from continuing operations of $0.09 in the third quarter of 2017.

Receivables

Our net receivables balance increased $1.0 million to $65.9 million as of September 30, 2018, from $64.9 million as of December 31, 2017.

We have included certain financial measures in this press release, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDAR, Adjusted Net income (loss) and Funds Provided by Operations which are “non-GAAP financial measures” using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and using adjustments to GAAP (non-GAAP). These non-GAAP measures are not measurements under GAAP. These measurements should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information contained in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. We define EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for loss (income) from discontinued operations, interest expense, income tax and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for acquisition and disposition related costs, hurricane costs, lease termination receipts, gain on sale of unconsolidated center, gain on bargain purchase, executive severance and litigation contingency expense. We define Adjusted EBITDAR as Adjusted EBITDA adjusted for rent expense. We define Adjusted Net income (loss) as Net income (loss) adjusted for acquisition and disposition related costs, hurricane costs, lease termination receipts, gain on sale of unconsolidated center, gain on bargain purchase, executive severance, litigation contingency expense, tax impact related to those adjustments, and discontinued operations, net of tax.Funds Provided by Operations is defined as net income from operating activities adjusted for the cash effect of professional liability and other non-cash charges. Management believes that Funds Provided by Operations is an important performance measurement because it eliminates the effect of actuarial assumptions on our professional liability reserves, includes the cash effect of professional liability payments, and does not include the effects of deferred tax benefit and other non-cash charges.

Our measurements of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDAR, Adjusted Net income (loss) and Funds Provided by Operations may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. We have included information concerning EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDAR, Adjusted Net income (loss) and Funds Provided by Operations in this press release because we believe that such information is used by certain investors as measures of a company’s historical performance. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDAR and Adjusted Net income (loss) are important performance measurements because they eliminate certain nonrecurring start-up losses, separation costs and other items. Management believes that Funds Provided by Operations is an important performance measurement because it eliminates the effect of actuarial assumptions on our professional liability reserves, includes the cash effect of professional liability payments, and does not include the effects of deferred taxes and other non-cash items. Our presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDAR,

Adjusted Net income (loss) and Funds Provided by Operations should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.
