Aveanna Healthcare Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: AVAH), a leading,
diversified home care platform focused on providing care to
medically complex, high-cost patient populations, today announced
financial results for the three and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2023.
Jeff Shaner, Chief Executive Officer, commented
“Our third quarter results reflect the continued momentum in our
business, highlighted by revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth of 7.9%
and 46.2% when compared to the prior year period. These strong
results further affirm the Aveanna strategy to adapt and transform
our business as we execute on our 2023 key initiatives. Enhanced
payor partnerships allow us to further invest in our caregivers and
broaden our care to more patients in need. We are delivering
high-quality care to our patients at an exceptional value to our
government and payor partners. I am proud of our Aveanna teammates'
efforts and the solid results they produced for the third quarter.
We are confident in our revised outlook for the remainder of
2023.”
Three-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2023 and
October 1, 2022
Revenue was $478.0 million for the three-month
period ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $443.0 million for
the three-month period ended October 1, 2022, an increase of $35.0
million, or 7.9%. The overall increase in revenue was attributable
to a $29.1 million increase in Private Duty Services (“PDS”)
segment revenue, a $2.7 million increase in Medical Solutions
("MS") segment revenue, and a $3.1 million increase in Home Health
& Hospice (“HHH”) segment revenue over the comparable
quarter.
Gross margin was $147.3 million, or 30.8% of
revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared
to $134.6 million, or 30.4% of revenue, for the three months ended
October 1, 2022, an increase of $12.7 million, or 9.4%.
Net loss was $102.4 million for the third
quarter of 2023, as compared to net income of $24.3 million for the
third quarter of 2022, primarily attributable to a $105.1 million
non-cash goodwill impairment charge recorded in the third quarter
of 2023. Net loss per diluted share was $(0.54) for the third
quarter of 2023, as compared to net income per diluted share of
$0.13 for the third quarter of 2022. Adjusted net loss per diluted
share was $(0.03) for the third quarter of 2023, as compared to
adjusted net loss per diluted share of $(0.03) for the third
quarter of 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA was $36.2 million, or 7.6% of
revenue, for the third quarter of 2023, as compared to $24.7
million, or 5.6% of revenue, for the third quarter of 2022. See
"Non-GAAP Financial Measures - EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA"
below.
Nine-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2023 and
October 1, 2022
Revenue was $1,416.4 million for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $1,336.5 million
for the nine-month period ended October 1, 2022, an increase of
$79.9 million, or 6.0%. The overall increase in revenue was
attributable to a $81.5 million increase in the PDS segment revenue
and a $11.7 million increase in the MS segment revenue, partially
offset by a $13.3 million decrease in the HHH segment revenue over
the comparable period.
Gross margin was $447.0 million, or 31.6% of
revenue, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, as
compared to $424.5 million, or 31.8% of revenue, for the nine-month
period ended October 1, 2022, an increase of $22.5 million, or
5.3%.
Net loss was $108.8 million for the first nine
months of 2023, as compared to net loss of $424.3 million for the
first nine months of 2022, primarily attributable to the difference
in non-cash goodwill impairment charges recorded in the respective
periods. Net loss per diluted share was $(0.57) for the first nine
months of 2023, as compared to net loss per diluted share of
$(2.29) for the first nine months of 2022. Adjusted net loss per
diluted share was $(0.09) for the first nine months of 2023, as
compared to adjusted net income per diluted share of $0.04 for the
first nine months of 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA was $100.5 million, or 7.1% of
revenue, for the first nine months of 2023, as compared to $99.7
million, or 7.5% of revenue, for the first nine months of 2022.
Liquidity, Cash Flow, and
Debt
- As of September 30, 2023, we had
cash of $48.3 million and incremental borrowing capacity of $20.0
million under our securitization facility. Our revolver was
undrawn, with approximately $168.0 million of borrowing capacity
and approximately $32.0 million of outstanding letters of
credit.
- Fiscal year-to-date 2023 net cash
provided by operating activities was $25.7 million. Free cash flow
was $16.9 million for year-to-date 2023. See “Non-GAAP Financial
Measures - Free cash flow” below.
- As of September 30, 2023 we had
bank debt of $1,472.1 million. Our interest rate exposure under our
credit facilities is currently hedged with the following
instruments:
- $520.0 million notional amount of
interest rate swaps that convert variable rate debt to a fixed
rate, and
- $880.0 million notional amount of
interest rate caps that cap our exposure to SOFR at 2.96%.
The leverage maintenance covenants in our
revolving credit facility do not become operative unless more than
30% of the total commitment under the revolving credit facility has
been utilized, subject to a $15.0 million carve-out for letters of
credit. Should the leverage maintenance covenant become operative,
maximum allowable first lien leverage would be 7.6x.
Matt Buckhalter, Interim Chief Financial
Officer, commented “I am pleased with the continued execution of
our 2023 strategic initiatives during the third quarter. Aveanna’s
performance is highlighted by the 7.9% growth in revenue and 46.2%
growth in Adjusted EBITDA as compared to prior year period. The
cost reduction efforts implemented earlier this year have
positively impacted our cash flow generated from operations in Q3.
Additionally, the demonstrated success of our preferred payor and
government partner strategy gives us confidence in our revised 2023
guidance.”
Revised Full Year 2023
Guidance
The following is our updated guidance reflecting
our current expectations for revenue and Adjusted EBITDA for the
full year 2023:
- Revenue of between $1,870 million
and $1,880 million, updated from prior guidance of revenue of
between $1,850 million and $1,860 million
Consistent with prior practice, we are not
providing guidance on net income at this time due to the volatility
of certain required inputs that are not available without
unreasonable efforts, including future fair value adjustments
associated with our interest rate swaps and caps.
- Adjusted EBITDA of between $134
million and $137 million, updated from prior guidance of Adjusted
EBITDA between $132 million and $135 million
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results of operations
prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (“GAAP”), we also evaluate our financial performance
using EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Field contribution, Field
contribution margin, Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per
diluted share, and Free cash flow. Given our determination of
adjustments in arriving at our computations, these non-GAAP
measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be
considered in isolation or as substitutes or alternatives to net
income or loss, revenue, operating income or loss, cash flows from
operating activities, total indebtedness or any other financial
measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The reconciliations of
these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable
GAAP measures are included in the financial tables below.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP
financial measures and are not intended to replace financial
performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP, such as
net income (loss). Rather, we present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as
supplemental measures of our performance. We define EBITDA as net
income (loss) before interest expense, net; income tax benefit
(expense); and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted
EBITDA as EBITDA, adjusted for the impact of certain other items
that are either non-recurring, infrequent, non-cash, unusual, or
items deemed by management to not be indicative of the performance
of our core operations, including impairments of goodwill,
intangible assets, and other long-lived assets; non-cash,
share-based compensation; loss on extinguishment of debt; fees
related to debt modifications; the effect of interest rate
derivatives; acquisition-related and integration costs; legal costs
and settlements associated with acquisition matters; COVID-19
related costs; restructuring costs; other legal matters; and other
system transition costs, professional fees and other costs. As
non-GAAP financial measures, our computations of EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA may vary from similarly termed non-GAAP financial
measures used by other companies, making comparisons with other
companies on the basis of this measure impracticable.
We believe our computations of EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA are helpful in highlighting trends in our core
operating performance. In determining which adjustments are made to
arrive at EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, we consider both (1) certain
non-recurring, infrequent, non-cash or unusual items, which can
vary significantly from year to year, as well as (2) certain other
items that may be recurring, frequent, or settled in cash but which
we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.
We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to assess operating performance
and make business decisions.
We have incurred substantial acquisition-related
costs and integration costs. The underlying acquisition activities
take place over a defined timeframe, have distinct project
timelines and are incremental to activities and costs that arise in
the ordinary course of our business. Therefore, we believe it is
important to exclude these costs from our Adjusted EBITDA because
it provides us a normalized view of our core, ongoing operations
after integrating our acquired companies, which we believe is an
important measure in assessing our performance.
Field contribution and Field contribution
margin
Field contribution and Field contribution margin
are non-GAAP financial measures and are not intended to replace
financial performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP,
such as gross margin and gross margin percentage. Rather, we
present Field contribution and Field contribution margin as
supplemental measures of our performance. We define Field
contribution as gross margin less branch and regional
administrative expenses. Field contribution margin is Field
contribution as a percentage of revenue. As non-GAAP financial
measures, our computations of Field contribution and Field
contribution margin may vary from similarly termed non-GAAP
financial measures used by other companies, making comparisons with
other companies on the basis of these measures impracticable.
Field contribution and Field contribution margin
have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered
in isolation or as substitutes or alternatives to gross margin,
gross margin percentage, net income or loss, revenue, operating
income or loss, cash flows from operating activities, total
indebtedness or any other financial measures calculated in
accordance with GAAP.
Management believes Field contribution and Field
contribution margin are helpful in highlighting trends in our core
operating performance and evaluating trends in our branch and
regional results, which can vary from year to year. We use Field
contribution and Field contribution margin to make business
decisions and assess the operating performance and results
delivered by our core field operations, prior to corporate and
other costs not directly related to our field operations. These
metrics are also important because they guide us in determining
whether or not our branch and regional administrative expenses are
appropriately sized to support our caregivers and direct patient
care operations. Additionally, Field contribution and Field
contribution margin determine how effective we are in managing our
field supervisory and administrative costs associated with
supporting our provision of services and sale of products.
Adjusted net (loss) income and Adjusted net
(loss) income per diluted share
Adjusted net (loss) income represents net income
(loss) as adjusted for the impact of GAAP income tax, goodwill,
intangible and other long-lived asset impairment charges, non-cash
share-based compensation expense, loss on extinguishment of debt,
interest rate derivatives, acquisition-related costs, integration
costs, legal costs, COVID-related costs net of reimbursement,
restructuring costs, other legal matters, other system transition
costs, professional fees and certain other miscellaneous items on a
pre-tax basis. Adjusted net (loss) income includes a provision for
income taxes derived utilizing a combined statutory tax rate. The
combined statutory tax rate is our estimate of our long-term tax
rate. The most comparable GAAP measure is net income (loss).
Adjusted net (loss) income per diluted share
represents adjusted net (loss) income on a per diluted share basis
using the weighted-average number of diluted shares outstanding for
the period. The most comparable GAAP measure is net income (loss)
per share, diluted.
Adjusted net (loss) income and adjusted net
(loss) income per diluted share are important to us because they
allow us to assess financial results, exclusive of the items
mentioned above that are not operational in nature or comparable to
those of our competitors.
Free cash flow
Free cash flow is a liquidity measure that
represents operating cash flow, adjusted for the impact of
purchases of property, equipment and software, principal payments
on term loans, notes payable and financing leases, and settlements
with swap counterparties. The most comparable GAAP measure is cash
flow from operations.
We believe free cash flow is helpful in
highlighting the cash generated or used by the Company, after
taking into consideration mandatory payments on term loans, notes
payable and financing leases, as well as cash needed for
non-acquisition related capital expenditures, and cash paid to or
received from derivative counterparties.
