BioScrip Reports Second Quarter 2014 Financial Results

ELMSFORD, N.Y., Aug. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- BioScrip, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIOS) today announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2014. Second quarter revenue from continuing operations was $247.1 million, and the net loss from continuing operations, net of income taxes, was $18.6 million, or $0.27 per basic and diluted share. Non-GAAP adjusted loss from continuing operations per basic and diluted share was $0.07.

Second Quarter Highlights

Total revenue increased by $74.8 million, or 43.4%, as compared to the prior year period. Revenue from the Infusion Services segment increased by $74.6 million, or 47.8%, as compared to the prior year period. Organic revenue growth for the Infusion Services segment remained in the double digits year-over-year.
Gross profit from continuing operations was $65.4 million, or 26.4% of revenue, as compared to $57.8 million, or 33.5% of revenue, in the prior year period. The decline in gross profit margin percentage was driven primarily by the decline in the higher margin PBM Services segment.
Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $11.0 million, an increase of $0.2 million over the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA from the Infusion Services segment increased by $2.2 million, or 15.7%, as compared to the prior year, offset by a $3.1 million, or 62.6%, decrease in the PBM Services segment. Adjusted EBITDA also included $4.6 million of income related to the decrease of the fair value of contingent consideration relating to the Company's Infusion acquisitions, offset by a $5.5 million increase in the bad debt and contractual reserve provisions relating to the integration of our acquisitions. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA included $0.5 million of increased investment in reimbursement resources in the form of overtime, temporary labor and third-party professional fees.
As a result of the continued focus on cash collections, BioScrip has increased monthly average accounts receivable collections from $69.3 million in the first quarter of 2014 to $80.9 million in the second quarter of 2014.

"During the second quarter, we made continued progress in executing our strategic priorities to deliver strong organic growth, improve cash flows and strengthen our balance sheet. Our team members worked tirelessly to deliver strong cash collections throughout the quarter, and we expect to continue this momentum into the third quarter," said Rick Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioScrip.

"We are a leading infusion provider and believe our recent accomplishments position us well for continued improvement in operating performance as we head into the second half of the year. We intend to continue to deliver exceptional clinical care to patients, and strengthen our relationships with physicians, hospital systems and managed care companies to deliver enhanced value for our shareholders," concluded Smith.

Results of Operations

Second Quarter 2014 versus Second Quarter 2013
Total revenue for the second quarter of 2014 was $247.1 million, compared to $172.3 million for the same period a year ago, an increase of $74.8 million, or 43.4%. Infusion Services segment revenue was $230.5 million in the second quarter as compared to $156.0 million for the same period in 2013. The 47.8% increase was driven primarily by continued strong double-digit organic growth and the acquisition of CarePoint Partners. PBM Services segment revenue was stable year-over-year at $16.6 million, versus $16.3 million in the second quarter of last year.

Consolidated gross profit for the second quarter of 2014 was $65.4 million, or 26.4% of revenue, compared to $57.8 million, or 33.5% of revenue, for the second quarter of 2013. The increase in gross profit was the result of organic growth and the acquisition of CarePoint Partners, offset by a decline in the PBM Services segment. The decline in gross profit margin percentage was driven primarily by the decline in the higher-margin PBM Services segment.

During the second quarter of 2014, Infusion Services segment Adjusted EBITDA was $16.2 million, compared to $14.0 million in the prior year quarter. The 15.7% improvement in Adjusted EBITDA in the Infusion Services segment resulted primarily from organic revenue growth and the acquisition of CarePoint Partners. Infusion Services segment Adjusted EBITDA also included $4.6 million of income related to the decrease of the fair value of contingent consideration relating to our infusion acquisitions, offset by a $5.5 million increase in the bad debt and contractual reserve provisions relating to the integration of our acquisitions.

PBM Services segment revenue was $16.6 million for the second quarter of 2014, compared to $16.3 million for the prior year period. The increase was related to the growth in traditional PBM volume, offset by declines in prescription discount card volume. PBM Services segment Adjusted EBITDA was $1.8 million, or 11.1% of segment revenue, for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $4.9 million, or 30.1% of segment revenue, in the prior year quarter.

On a consolidated basis, BioScrip reported $11.0 million of Adjusted EBITDA during the second quarter of 2014, or 4.5% of total revenue, compared to $10.8 million, or 6.3% of total revenue, in the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA included $0.5 million of increased investment in reimbursement resources in the form of overtime, temporary labor and third-party professional fees.

Interest expense in the second quarter of 2014 was $9.1 million compared to $6.5 million in the prior year period.

Income tax expense for continuing operations in the second quarter of 2014 was $3.1 million compared to an income tax expense of $0.1 million in the prior year period.

The loss from continuing operations, net of taxes, for the second quarter of 2014 was $18.6 million, or a loss of $0.27 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $9.3 million, or $0.14 per basic and diluted share, in the prior year period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, BioScrip used $26.7 million in net cash from continuing operating activities, compared to cash used of $22.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013. Sequentially, net cash from continuing operating activities improved by $22.0 million from the first quarter of 2014. As of June 30, 2014, the Company's cash balance was $1.5 million, and it had $418.7 million of outstanding debt and an undrawn $75 million revolving credit facility. Capital expenditures for the second quarter of 2014 were $3.9 million.

Outlook

The Company projects that its 2014 revenue will be at the high end of its guidance range of $940.0 million to $980.0 million and that its 2014 Adjusted EBITDA will be in a range of $55.0 million to $60.0 million. This reflects the Company's current assessment of the business and assumes:

Infusion Services segment is expected to continue to deliver double-digit organic revenue growth;
Infusion Services segment Adjusted EBITDA margin percentage is expected to sequentially improve;
Momentum to collect older receivables impacted by the integration of the acquisitions continues in the second half of the year. These efforts are on-going, but timing may be uncertain; and
Continued stability is expected in our PBM Services segment from an adjusted EBITDA perspective, consistent with its performance in the first half of the year.

Forward-Looking Statements – Safe Harbor This press release includes statements that may constitute "forward-looking statements," including projections of certain measures of the Company's results of operations, projections of certain charges and expenses, and other statements regarding the Company's goals, regulatory approvals and strategy. These statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as "may," "should," "could," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe," "predict," "potential," "continue" or comparable terms. Because such statements inherently involve risks and uncertainties, actual future results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Important factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include but are not limited to risks associated with: the Company's ability to integrate the CarePoint business and other acquisitions; the Company's ability to grow its Infusion Services segment organically or through acquisitions and obtain financing in connection therewith; its ability to reduce operating costs while sustaining growth; reductions in federal, state and commercial reimbursement for the Company's products and services; increased government regulation related to the health care and insurance industries; as well as the risks described in the Company's periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Reconciliation to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting all financial information required in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company is also reporting EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EPS, which are non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP and should not be used in isolation or as a substitute or alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as a substitute or alternative to cash flow from operating activities or a measure of our liquidity. In addition, the Company's definitions of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures reported by other companies. EBITDA represents net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by the Company, represents net income before net interest expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition and integration expenses, restructuring-related expenses and investments in start-up operations. As part of restructuring, the Company may incur significant charges such as the write down of certain long−lived assets, temporary redundant expenses, retraining expenses, potential cash bonus payments and potential accelerated payments or terminated costs for certain of its contractual obligations. Adjusted EPS, as defined by the Company, represents earnings per basic and diluted share, excluding the same elements in calculating Adjusted EBITDA as well as the impact of acquisition-related intangible amortization. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information regarding the performance of our business operations and facilitates comparisons to our historical operating results. For a full reconciliation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS to the most comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the attachments to this earnings release.

1	For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014, non-GAAP adjustments to net loss from continuing operations are net of tax, calculated using an annual effective tax rate method. However, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets and, as a result, no tax benefit is being recognized for the non-GAAP net loss from continuing operations. The tax expense in continuing operations relates to indefinite-lived intangible assets and an insignificant amount of state tax expense which would not be impacted by the non-GAAP adjustments above. Accordingly, no tax expense has been allocated to the non-GAAP adjustments.
2	For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013, non-GAAP net income from continuing operations adjustments are net of tax, calculated using an annual effective tax rate method. The tax expense netted against restructuring and other expenses and investments, acquisition and integration expenses, amortization of intangibles, and stock-based compensation expense was $59, $113, $55 and $125, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and $86, $229, $107 and $164, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The tax effect of these adjustments on a per share basis is not meaningful.
3	Restructuring and other expenses and investments include costs associated with restructuring such as employee severance, third party consulting costs and facility closure costs; training and transitional costs as well as redundant salaries; losses in the short-term investment in the unconsolidated affiliate; and investments in start-up branch locations.
