Alliance HealthCare Services Reports Results for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2013

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--()--Alliance HealthCare Services, Inc. (NASDAQ:AIQ) (the “Company” or “Alliance”), a leading national provider of outpatient diagnostic imaging and radiation therapy services, announced results for first quarter ended March 31, 2013.

First Quarter 2013 Highlights

  • Excluding the impact of the rent expense form our recent sale/leaseback transaction and the longer quarter in 2012 due to the leap year, first quarter 2013 Adjusted EBITDA would have increased by 1% over the prior year, representing the fourth consecutive quarter of organic increase in Adjusted EBITDA; produced first quarter 2013 Adjusted EBITDA of $35.2 million compared to $37.8 million in the first quarter of 2012
  • Alliance continued to gain operational efficiency in the first quarter, which helped offset the impact of the industry-wide slowdown of healthcare volumes on the Company’s revenue
  • Completed a $15.0 million voluntary term loan payment, reducing total leverage to 3.9x and net leverage to 3.7x as of March 31, 2013
  • Continue to generate strong cash flow, with $40.9 million reduction in the change in net debt in the last 12 month period
  • Annual revenue guidance revised primarily as a result of planned pruning of the Company’s professional radiology services business
  • Company moved its listing to the NASDAQ Global Market

First Quarter 2013 Financial Results

“While our first quarter results reflect the impact of a challenging industry environment, they also signify a continued commitment to driving operational efficiency at Alliance,” stated Larry C. Buckelew, Chairman of the Board and interim Chief Executive Officer. “These initiatives, coupled with our recent voluntary term loan payment, demonstrate our Company’s focus on achieving sustainable growth, profitability and cash flow. While industry-wide volumes started slowly in the first quarter of this year, we believe that the fundamentals of the healthcare services industry will improve and help drive growth in the remainder of the year.”

Furthermore, Buckelew commented, “Over the past several quarters, we have been very proactive and successful in generating cash flow, paying down our debt and managing our leverage level in this favorable credit environment. Given the persisting favorable credit conditions, we are reviewing the Company’s debt structure, including specifically the terms and pricing of the Company’s current term loan and revolving credit facility.”

Buckelew concluded, “As we move further in to 2013, we will continue to focus on driving long-term growth. As such, increased efforts to improve the management of our portfolio will continue to impact our revenue over the course of the year. Given hospital customer enthusiasm for our enhanced hospital-centric strategies, and the positive reaction to our enhanced value proposition to hospitals, we have decided that our professional radiology services business does not align with our future strategic vision for our Imaging Division. Therefore, as a result of increased opportunities to divest our professional radiology services business, as well as the potential to prune of some of our otherwise unprofitable business, we are revising our full year revenue guidance to account for these planned additional pruning efforts later in 2013. Expected improvement in healthcare services volumes in the remaining portion of the year and the focus on helping our hospital customers drive volume growth gives us confidence that we will achieve our full year guidance.”

Revenue for the first quarter of 2013 was $110.4 million compared to $120.8 million in the first quarter of 2012. This $10.4 million decline in revenue was driven by the strategic reduction of our customer base in 2012, a decrease in the number of operating days due to the leap year in 2012 and industry-wide weakness in outpatient healthcare volumes.

Alliance’s Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) decreased 6.9% to $35.2 million from $37.8 million in the first quarter of 2012. Excluding $2.0 million of rent expense from the sale/leaseback transaction completed in November 2012 and adjusting for the longer first quarter of 2012 caused by the leap year, which decreased Adjusted EBITDA by $0.9 million, or $2.9 million collectively, the first quarter Adjusted EBITDA would have increased by 0.9% to $38.1 million in the first quarter of 2013 from $37.8 million in the first quarter of 2012.

Alliance’s net loss, computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), totaled ($2.4) million in the first quarter of 2013 and ($4.8) million in the first quarter of 2012.

Net loss per share on a diluted basis, computed in accordance with GAAP, was ($0.23) per share in the first quarter of 2013 compared to ($0.45) per share in the first quarter of 2012. In the first quarter of 2013, net loss per share on a diluted basis was impacted by ($0.19) in the aggregate due to restructuring charges, transaction costs and differences in the GAAP income tax rate compared to our historical income tax rate. In the first quarter of 2012, net loss per share on a diluted basis was impacted by ($0.18) in the aggregate due to the same adjustments. Alliance’s historical income tax rate has been 42%, compared to the GAAP income tax rate of 5.4% in the first quarter of 2013 and 35.4% in the first quarter of 2012.

Cash flows provided by operating activities totaled $10.5 million in the first quarter of 2013 compared to $24.4 million in the first quarter of 2012. In the first quarter of 2013, capital expenditures, including capital leases, were $5.6 million compared to $7.8 million in the first quarter of 2012. Alliance will continue to allocate resources through targeted investments designed to support and move forward the long-term goals of the business.

Alliance’s net debt, defined as total long-term debt (including current maturities) less cash and cash equivalents, decreased $4.3 million to $514.4 million at March 31, 2013 from $518.7 million at December 31, 2012. Cash and cash equivalents were $30.7 million at March 31, 2013 and $40.0 million at December 31, 2012. The Company made a $15.0 million voluntary term loan payment during the first quarter of 2013. The Company’s net debt, as defined above, divided by the last twelve months Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the Company’s credit agreement, was 3.66x for the twelve month period ended March 31, 2013 compared to 4.04 for the twelve month period ended a year ago. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the Company’s credit agreement includes an adjustment to Adjusted EBITDA to exclude income attributable to non-controlling interest in subsidiaries.

“Continuing to pay down debt and reducing our total and senior secured leverage ratios remains a top priority at Alliance. During the quarter, we made a $15.0 million voluntary repayment against the principal of our senior secured term loan. Our organic Adjusted EBITDA growth, strong cash flow generation, and proceeds from our sale/leaseback transaction have enabled us to repay a total of $90 million of Alliance’s total debt, or 22 percent of the balance of our senior secured term loan and 14 percent of our total debt outstanding, since September 30, 2012,” stated Howard K. Aihara, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

ADJUSTED EBITDA
(in thousands)

Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by the Company’s management, represents GAAP net income (loss) before: interest expense, net of interest income; income taxes; depreciation expense; amortization expense; net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests; non-cash share-based compensation; severance and related costs; restructuring charges; fees and expenses related to acquisitions, costs related to debt financing, non-cash impairment charges, and other non-cash charges included in other (income) expense, net, which includes non-cash losses on sales of equipment. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or “GAAP.”

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA, and believes it is a useful measure for investors, for a variety of reasons. Management regularly communicates its Adjusted EBITDA results and management’s interpretation of such results to its board of directors. Management also compares the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA performance against internal targets as a key factor in determining cash incentive compensation for executives and other employees, largely because management feels that this measure is indicative of how our diagnostic imaging and radiation oncology businesses are performing and are being managed. The diagnostic imaging and radiation oncology industry continues to experience significant consolidation. These activities have led to significant charges to earnings, such as those resulting from acquisition costs, and to significant variations among companies with respect to capital structures and cost of capital (which affect interest expense) and differences in taxation and book depreciation of facilities and equipment (which affect relative depreciation expense), including significant differences in the depreciable lives of similar assets among various companies. In addition, management believes that because of the variety of equity awards used by companies, the varying methodologies for determining non-cash share-based compensation expense among companies and from period to period, and the subjective assumptions involved in that determination, excluding non-cash share-based compensation from Adjusted EBITDA enhances company-to-company comparisons over multiple fiscal periods and enhances the Company’s ability to analyze the performance of its diagnostic imaging and radiation oncology businesses.

Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA has other limitations as an analytical financial measure. These limitations include the fact that Adjusted EBITDA is calculated before recurring cash charges including interest expense, income taxes and severance costs, and is not adjusted for capital expenditures, the replacement cost of assets or other recurring cash requirements of the Company’s business. Adjusted EBITDA also does not reflect any cost for equity awards to employees and does not exclude income attributable to noncontrolling interests. In the future, the Company expects that it may incur expenses similar to the excluded items discussed above. Accordingly, the exclusion of these and other similar items in the Company’s non-GAAP presentation should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent or unusual. Management compensates for the limitations of using Adjusted EBITDA as an analytical measure by relying on the Company’s GAAP results to evaluate its operating performance and by considering independently the economic effects of the items that are or are not reflected in Adjusted EBITDA. Management also compensates for these limitations by providing GAAP-based disclosures concerning the excluded items in the Company’s financial disclosures. As a result of these limitations, however, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), as calculated in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to any other GAAP measure of operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by the Company’s management, is calculated differently from Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the Company’s credit agreement and reported in the Company’s SEC filings. In particular, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA includes an adjustment to Adjusted EBITDA to exclude income attributable to non-controlling interest in subsidiaries.

SELECTED STATISTICAL INFORMATION
IMAGING DIVISION REVENUE GAP
(in millions)

The Company utilizes the imaging division revenue gap as a statistical measure of its client losses and new client contracts. The imaging division revenue gap is calculated by measuring the difference between (a) the imaging division annualized revenue run rate lost as a result of clients choosing to terminate or not renew contracts with the Company, excluding clients for which Alliance provides professional radiology services, interim services and clients that the Company elects to terminate, and (b) projected new imaging division annualized revenue from new client contracts, excluding professional radiology services and interim services, commencing service in the quarter.

The annualized revenue run rate lost from customers choosing to terminate service may not be representative of the revenues such customers would have generated had they remained our customers.

The projected annualized revenue from new client contracts is calculated using contractual pricing where agreed upon, and assumptions with respect to pricing and reimbursement levels for all other new customer relationships. The projected annualized revenue from new client contracts is also calculated using assumptions with respect to customer ramp-up and scan volumes. Our assumptions are based on our experience in the industry and our expectations with respect to pricing and volume trends, and may not reflect actual revenue from new clients for a number of reasons, including greater than expected macroeconomic challenges impacting the imaging business, the variance in ramp-up time of customers adding new service lines, unexpected changes in business conditions and greater than expected competition for imaging services. See “Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of the other risks and uncertainties that may cause actual future results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed above.
