LHC Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: LHCG) announced its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2018

  • Net service revenue increased 95.0% to a record $502.0 million compared with $257.5 million in the second quarter of 2017.
  • Net income attributable to LHC Group’s common stockholders was $16.8 million, a 48.7% increase from $11.3 million in the second quarter of 2017. Net income attributable to LHC Group’s common stockholders per diluted share was $0.55, a decrease of 12.7% from $0.63 in the second quarter of 2017, on a 71.1% increase in weighted average diluted shares outstanding as well as the effect of costs and expenses described within our adjusted results below.
  • Adjusted net income attributable to LHC Group’s common stockholders was $25.8 million, up 128.3% from $11.3 million in the second quarter of 2017. Adjusted net income attributable to LHC Group’s common stockholders per diluted share was $0.84, a 33.3% increase from $0.63 in the second quarter of 2017. (1)
  • Adjusted results for the second quarter of 2018 exclude transaction and other transition related costs, expenses related to certain closures and relocations and the income tax effect of adjustments to income due to certain deal and transaction costs that are not deductible, in the aggregate amount of $9.0 million after tax, or $0.29 per diluted share.
  • On April 1, 2018, closed on the Almost Family merger. The transaction integration and synergies remain on track resulting in 12% to 15% accretion from the merger for fiscal year 2018.
(1) See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures – Adjusted net income attributable to LHC Group” to GAAP results on page 10.

Operational and Strategic Highlights

  • LHC Group quality and patient satisfaction results continue to exceed the national average with 98% of its same store locations having CMS Quality Star ratings of four stars or greater.
  • Total growth in home health admissions was 98.0%; organic growth was 7.9%.
  • Total growth in home health revenue was 88.6%; organic growth was 9.0%.
  • Total growth in hospice admissions was 40.4%; organic growth was 2.5%.
  • On May 1, 2018, completed a joint venture with St. Mary’s Health Network to purchase and share ownership of St. Mary’s Home Care Service in Reno, Nevada, followed by a similar agreement on August 1, 2018, for St. Mary’s Hospice, also in Reno, Nevada.
  • On August 1, 2018, completed a joint venture with Capital Region Medical Center in Jefferson City, Missouri, to purchase and share ownership of Capital Region Home Health.

Commenting on the results, Keith G. Myers, LHC Group’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are very pleased with our strong growth for the second quarter and with the progress we are making in post-merger integration of Almost Family locations as we deploy the same company-wide commitment to quality, growth and efficiency that has led to industry leading performance and to decades of experience in partnering with hospitals and health systems. Our results to date demonstrate that the integration is on track and that our overall growth strategy is delivering on multiple fronts. The opportunities for growth across all service lines are as strong as ever as we continue to leverage our scale, clinical and operational expertise and national in-home healthcare platform to deliver measurable value for partners, payers and, most importantly, for the patients, families and communities we are privileged to serve.”

Fiscal Year 2018 Guidance

The Company re-affirmed its guidance for fiscal year 2018 issued on May 2, 2018. Net service revenue is expected to be in a range of $1.81 billion to $1.86 billion, and adjusted earnings per diluted share is expected to be in a range of $3.45 to $3.55. The guidance assumes the following:

  • The Company expects to achieve a total of $25 million in pre-tax synergies in connection with the Almost Family transaction, with $8 million to $12 million realized in 2018 (of which approximately $2 million has been realized through the second quarter of 2018);
  • An estimated effective tax rate of 28% to 29%, which reflects the positive impact from passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017; and
  • Weighted average diluted shares of approximately 28.0 million.

The Company’s guidance ranges do not take into account the impact of future reimbursement changes, if any, future acquisitions, if made, de novo locations, if opened, or future legal expenses, if necessary. The adjusted earnings guidance for 2018 is presented on a non-GAAP basis, as it does not include the impact of transaction related costs, integration related expenses or other expenses related to the merger or other acquisitions. Given the difficulty in predicting the future amount and timing of merger related expenses, the Company cannot reasonably provide a full reconciliation of its fiscal year 2018 adjusted earnings per share guidance to GAAP earnings per share.

Commenting on the 2018 outlook, Joshua L. Proffitt, LHC Group’s Chief Financial Officer, added, “The full year is unfolding much like we anticipated with a combination of strong organic and adjusted earnings growth driven by high quality service, realization of transaction synergies and improved operations. We are pleased with the size and quality of our acquisition pipeline and expect that we will build on the pace we have set through the balance of the year as we continue to demonstrate the value proposition we are uniquely positioned to deliver with our national in-home healthcare platform.”

(3)

Expenses associated with the closure, relocation or consolidation of four home health agencies and two long-term acute care hospitals. Costs include $1.5 million for intangibles impairment and lease termination charges ($3.5 million pre-tax).

(4) Effective tax rate increased to 29.9% due to certain deal and transaction costs that are not deductible related to the merger. We continue to anticipate a normalized effective tax rate of 28% to 29% and have used that rate in the presentation of adjusted net income attributable to LHC Group and adjusted net income attributable to LHC Group per diluted share.
We have included certain financial measures in this press release, including adjusted net income attributable to LHC Group and adjusted net income attributable to LHC Group per diluted share, which are “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined under the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC. We define adjusted net income attributable to LHC Group as net income attributable to LHC Group adjusted for the AFAM merger/acquisition and other closure costs. We define adjusted net income attributable to LHC Group per diluted share as net income attributable to LHC Group adjusted for the AFAM merger/acquisition and other closure costs divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding.
Adjusted net income attributable to LHC Group and adjusted net income attributable to LHC Group per diluted share are supplemental measures of our performance and are not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Adjusted net income attributable to LHC Group and adjusted net income attributable to LHC Group per diluted share are not measures of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income attributable to LHC Group, net income attributable to LHC Group per diluted share or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Our measurements of adjusted net income attributable to LHC Group and adjusted net income attributable to LHC Group per diluted share may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. We have included information concerning adjusted net income attributable to LHC Group and adjusted net income attributable to LHC Group per diluted share in this press release because we believe that such information is used by certain investors as measures of a company’s historical performance. We believe these measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of issuers of equity securities, many of which present adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share when reporting their results. Our presentation of adjusted net income attributable to LHC Group and adjusted net income attributable to LHC Group per diluted share should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.
