Company Provides Update on COVID-19 Pandemic
and Updates 2020 Outlook for Adjusted EBITDA-NCI
American Renal Associates Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ARA) (the
“Company”), a leading kidney care and dialysis provider focused on
partnering with local nephrologists, today announced financial and
operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020. The
Company also provided an update on its COVID-19 impact and affirmed
its 2020 Adjusted EBITDA less noncontrolling interests (“Adjusted
EBITDA-NCI”) Outlook. These updates are highlighted later in this
release.
Certain metrics, including those expressed on an adjusted basis,
are Non-GAAP financial measures (See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial
Measures” and the reconciliation tables further below).
Second Quarter 2020 Highlights (all percentage changes
compare Q2 2020 to Q2 2019 unless noted):
- Patient service operating revenues decreased 3.8% to $205.1
million;
- Net income attributable to American Renal Associates Holdings,
Inc. was $0.8 million as compared to a net loss of $8.2 million in
Q2 2019;
- Adjusted EBITDA-NCI was $25.8 million as compared to $24.3
million in Q2 2019;
- Adjusted net income attributable to American Renal Associates
Holdings, Inc. was $2.6 million, or $0.07 per share, for Q2 2020 as
compared to adjusted net loss of $1.3 million, or $(0.04) per
share, for Q2 2019;
- Total dialysis treatments increased 2.1%, all of which was
non-acquired growth. Normalized total and normalized non-acquired
treatment growth were each 3.6%; and
- As of June 30, 2020, the Company operated 251 outpatient
dialysis clinics serving more than 17,300 patients.
Joseph (Joe) Carlucci, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
said “Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, our staff and physician
partners have worked tirelessly with dedication and compassion to
continue providing life-sustaining dialysis services to our
patients across our network of 251 clinics, despite the many
unprecedented challenges the pandemic has presented to our country,
our health care system and each and every one of us. Their
unwavering focus on the health and well-being of our patients in
the face of the pandemic is humbling, and I thank them for their
extraordinary work.”
Mr. Carlucci continued, “This quarter we began to see the
benefits of our additional investment and continuing focus on
efficiencies to our revenue cycle. These efforts resulted in
significant improvement in our revenue per treatment over the first
quarter. We are also pleased with our solid treatment volume growth
and our expense management during the quarter, even though we saw
impacts on both from the pandemic. As we look ahead, while the
environment remains uncertain, we believe our commitment to our
Core Values, our excellence in patient care and our partnership
with outstanding physicians will enable us to continue the positive
momentum we saw this quarter.”
Financial and operating highlights include:
Revenue: Patient service operating revenues for the
second quarter of 2020 were $205.1 million, a decrease of $8.1
million, or 3.8%, as compared to $213.3 million for the prior-year
period. Patient service operating revenues for the six months ended
June 30, 2020 were $398.3 million, a decrease of $6.7 million, or
1.7%, as compared to $405.0 million for the prior-year period. The
decrease in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2020 was
primarily due to lower contributions from calcimimetics, a
favorable resolution of certain commercial claims during the 2019
periods and adverse changes in commercial treatment reimbursement
rates reflecting a larger base of in-network commercial payor
relationships, partially offset by an increase of 2.1% and 3.4% in
the number of dialysis treatments in the three and six months ended
June 30, 2020, respectively, and a recognition of $1.1 million from
the temporary suspension under the CARES Act of the 2% Medicare
sequestration reimbursement reduction, which became effective May
1, 2020, in the second quarter of 2020.
Treatment Volume: Total dialysis treatments for the
second quarter of 2020 were 627,451, representing an increase of
2.1% over the second quarter of 2019, all of which was non-acquired
treatment growth, normalized total treatment growth and normalized
non-acquired treatment growth were each 3.6%, as compared to Q2
2019.
Total dialysis treatments for the six months ended June 30, 2020
were 1,247,000, representing an increase of 3.4% over the six
months ended June 30, 2019. Non-acquired treatment growth was 3.2%
for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Normalized total treatment
growth and normalized non-acquired treatment growth were 4.1% and
4.0%, respectively, as compared to the six months ended June 30,
2019.
Clinic Activity: As of June 30, 2020, the Company
provided services at 251 outpatient dialysis clinics serving 17,356
patients. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we
opened four and five de novo clinics, respectively.

Operating Expenses: Patient care costs for the second
quarter of 2020 were $146.9 million, or 71.6% of patient service
operating revenues, as compared to $153.0 million, or 71.8% of
patient service operating revenues, in the prior-year period.
General and administrative expenses were $22.7 million, or 11.0% of
patient service operating revenues, as compared to $23.9 million,
or 11.2% of patient service operating revenues, in the prior-year
period.
Patient care costs for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were
$301.1 million, or 75.6% of patient service operating revenues, as
compared to $301.2 million, or 74.4% of patient service operating
revenues, in the prior-year period. General and administrative
expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $47.6
million, or 11.9% of patient service operating revenues, as
compared to $49.5 million, or 12.2% of patient service operating
revenues, in the prior-year period.
Cash Flow: Cash provided by operating activities for the
second quarter of 2020 was $137.3 million, as compared to $17.7
million in the prior-year period. Adjusted cash provided by
operating activities less distributions to noncontrolling interests
(see “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) for the
second quarter of 2020 was $125.1 million, as compared to $0.9
million in the prior-year period. Cash provided by operating
activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $151.0
million as compared to $7.7 million in the prior-year period.
Adjusted cash provided by operating activities less distributions
to noncontrolling interests for the six months ended June 30, 2020
was $128.0 million as compared to adjusted cash used in operating
activities less distributions to noncontrolling interests of $13.9
million in the prior-year period. The increase in each period is
largely due to additional investment and focus on our revenue cycle
and collections and the impact of cash received under the
provisions of the CARES Act.
Total capital expenditures for the second quarter of 2020 were
$7.1 million, compared to $5.7 million in the prior-year period.
Capital expenditures for the three months ended June 30, 2020
included $5.8 million for existing clinic expansions and de novo
clinic development and $1.2 million for other capital expenditures.
Total capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2020
were $12.8 million, compared to $14.2 million in the prior-year
period. Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2020
included $10.1 million for existing clinic expansions and de novo
clinic development and $2.7 million for other capital
expenditures.
Balance Sheet: At June 30, 2020, the Company’s balance
sheet included consolidated cash and restricted cash of $148.7
million, including the impact of cash received under the provisions
of the CARES Act, and consolidated debt of $585.1 million,
including the current portion of long-term debt. Excluding
clinic-level debt not guaranteed by the Company and clinic-level
cash not owned by the Company, Adjusted owned net debt (see
“Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) was $445.8 million
at June 30, 2020, as compared to $515.2 million at December 31,
2019. As of June 30, 2020, we were in compliance with the
consolidated net leverage ratio covenant in our Credit Agreement.
As of June 30, 2020, net patient accounts receivable was $91.7
million.
Clinic Sales: Subsequent to June 30, 2020, the Company
completed the sale of certain clinics in Pennsylvania that
accounted for, in the aggregate, $3.6 million of its patient
services operating revenues for each of the three months ended June
30, 2020 and 2019, and $7.5 million and $7.0 million of its patient
service operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020
and 2019, respectively. These clinics accounted for approximately
12,000 treatments for each of the three months ended June 30, 2020
and 2019, and 25,000 treatments and 24,000 treatments for the six
months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
COVID-19 Update
The safety of our patients, staff and physician partners
continues to be our primary focus, and we have undertaken and will
continue to undertake steps to provide for their protection and
enable our continued operation in the face of the pandemic. We are
following Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance and
working closely with local and national health authorities to
ensure we implement and maintain appropriate infection control and
clinical best practices in response to COVID-19. In addition, our
dedicated COVID-19 task force has proactively implemented business
continuity plans and developed measures to ensure the ongoing
availability of our dialysis services while maintaining patient and
staff safety. These measures include:
- Restricting entry to our clinics to only patients, staff and
medical professionals;
- Screening all individuals for symptoms and exposure to COVID-19
before allowing access to our clinics;
- Implementing a mask policy for every patient and staff member
who enters our clinics and requiring that masks be worn at all
times in our clinics;
- Increased purchases and use of personal protective equipment
for patients and staff and of cleaning and sanitization materials
at our facilities to maintain infection control protocols that meet
CDC guidelines;
- Securing COVID-19 testing for patients and staff;
- Implementing screening procedures for corporate office staff
prior to entering our corporate offices, requiring social
distancing within workspaces and throughout our corporate offices,
and restricting access to our corporate offices to only ARA
staff;
- Engaging a physician infectious disease consultant to assist us
in the development of policies and procedures to protect our
patients and staff;
- Establishing dedicated COVID-19 treatment shifts at certain of
our clinics, where necessary, to care for patients with confirmed
or suspected COVID-19 infection; and
- Modifying our sick leave policy to accommodate quarantine and
isolation when warranted.
In addition to these safety measures, in March 2020 we
implemented a hazard pay program to provide increased pay to our
clinic staff on the front lines of the pandemic. This program
remains in place for those clinic staff who provide direct care to
patients who have been identified as COVID-19 positive. These and
other measures we have taken in response to COVID-19 have resulted
in increased operating expenses, including higher salary and wage
expense from the hazard pay program, incremental hours and overtime
needed to staff the dedicated treatment shifts for patients with
confirmed or suspected COVID-19, increased expenses from the higher
utilization and cost of personal protective equipment, and
additional costs to purchase additional supplies and cleaning
materials. In addition, we have incurred additional corporate
office costs related to legal, consulting costs and cleaning costs,
as well as increased purchases of computer equipment and
information technology to provide additional infrastructure for
staff who are working remotely. Though significantly offset by
grant funds received under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and
Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), these added expenses began
to rise during March, and became more significant through April,
May, June, and July. We expect to incur many of these additional
operating expenses for the duration of the pandemic, and if the
severity or geographic coverage of the pandemic increases, these
additional expenses could increase. In light of our increased
expenses, we have and will continue to implement cost saving
initiatives; however, these initiatives may not offset the
additional expenses and reductions in revenue resulting from the
pandemic in the event we exhaust government funds provided for this
purpose.
From a volume perspective, patients suffering from end-stage
renal disease generally have co-morbidities that often place them
at increased risk with COVID-19, resulting in increased
hospitalizations, missed treatments and higher mortality. For the
three months ended June 30, 2020, we experienced a negative 1.0%
impact in treatment volume growth as a result of patients
contracting COVID-19.
We are appreciative of Congress and the Administration’s
recognition of the burden this pandemic is having on our nation’s
healthcare system and providers like ARA who have remained fully
operational during this crisis to continue to provide
life-sustaining care and prevent, prepare and respond to COVID-19.
The passage of the CARES Act in late March, in combination with
other regulatory relief from CMS, will help healthcare providers
like ARA manage through this public health crisis. Some aspects of
this relief received by ARA include the following:
- Approximately $5 million of additional revenue due to the CARES
Act provision that eliminates the 2% sequestration reduction from
May 1 until December 31, 2020;
- Approximately $27 million of CARES Act grant funds received
during April 2020, although these funds are subject to terms and
conditions, and we may not be able to utilize and retain all of
this money;
- Approximately $83 million of advance payments on future
Medicare revenue received during April 2020 under CMS’ Accelerated
and Advance Payment Program;
- An estimated $12 million to $13 million liquidity benefit from
Q2 2020 through Q4 2020 related to the CARES Act provision that
permits payment deferral of the employer portion of social security
payroll taxes; and
- An estimated cash tax refund of approximately $8 million,
expected before December 31, 2020, related to specific tax code
provisions of the CARES Act.
Outlook for 2020 Adjusted EBITDA-NCI:
The Company is affirming its outlook for 2020 Adjusted
EBITDA-NCI to be in a range of $87 million to $95 million. The
Company is also re-affirming its commitment to reduce its leverage
ratio by year-end 2020, as compared to 5.9x at December 31,
2019.
The Company is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of
its Non-GAAP outlook to the corresponding GAAP information because
the GAAP measures that it excludes from its Non-GAAP outlook are
not available without unreasonable effort on a forward-looking
basis due to their unpredictability, high variability, complexity
and low visibility. These excluded GAAP measures include
noncontrolling interests, interest expense, income taxes, certain
legal and other matters, and other charges. The Company expects the
variability of these charges to have a potentially unpredictable,
and potentially significant, impact on its future GAAP financial
results.
Please see the “Forward-Looking Statements” section of this
release for a discussion of certain risks to our outlook.

American Renal Associates Holdings, Inc. and
Subsidiaries Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited) (dollars in thousands)
We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA-NCI to track our
performance. “Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as net income before
stock-based compensation and associated payroll taxes,
depreciation, amortization and impairment, interest expense, net,
income taxes and other non-income-based tax, change in fair value
of income tax receivable agreement, certain legal and other
matters, severance, executive retirement and related costs and gain
or loss on sale or closure of clinics. “Adjusted EBITDA-NCI” is
defined as Adjusted EBITDA less net income attributable to
noncontrolling interests. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA-NCI provide information useful for evaluating our business
and a further understanding of our results of operations from
management’s perspective. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is helpful in
highlighting trends because Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain
expenses that can differ significantly from company to company
depending on, among other things, long-term strategic decisions
regarding capital structure and investments, and the tax
jurisdictions in which companies operate, or that we believe do not
reflect our core business operations. We believe Adjusted
EBITDA-NCI is helpful in highlighting the amount of Adjusted EBITDA
that is available to us after reflecting the interests of our joint
venture partners. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA-NCI are not
measures of operating performance computed in accordance with GAAP
and should not be considered as a substitute for operating income,
net income, cash flows from operations, or other statement of
operations or cash flow data prepared in conformity with GAAP, or
as measures of profitability or liquidity. In addition, Adjusted
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA-NCI may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures of other companies and may differ from the
calculation of “Consolidated EBITDA” under our credit agreement.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA-NCI may not be indicative of
historical operating results, and we do not mean for these items to
be predictive of future results of operations or cash flows.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA-NCI have limitations as
analytical tools, and they should not be considered in isolation,
or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under
GAAP. Some of these limitations are that Adjusted EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA-NCI:
- do not include stock-based compensation expense and associated
payroll taxes;
- do not include depreciation, amortization and
impairment—because construction and operation of our dialysis
clinics requires significant capital expenditures, depreciation and
amortization are a necessary element of our costs and our ability
to generate profits;
- do not include interest expense—as we have borrowed money for
general corporate and facility purposes, interest expense is a
necessary element of our costs and ability to generate profits and
cash flows;
- do not include income tax expense or benefits and other
non-income-based taxes;
- do not include change in fair value of income tax receivable
agreement;
- do not include costs related to certain legal and other
matters;
- do not include severance, executive retirement and related
costs; and
- do not reflect the gain or loss on sale or closure of
clinics.
In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is not adjusted for the portion of
earnings that we distribute to our joint venture partners.
We use Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to American Renal
Associates Holdings, Inc. because it is a useful measure to
evaluate our performance by excluding the impact of certain items
that we believe are not related to our normal business operations
and/or are a result of changes in our liabilities from period to
period. See the notes to the tables below for further explanation
of the exclusion of certain items. By excluding these items, we
believe Adjusted net income (loss) allows us and investors to
evaluate our net loss on a more consistent basis. “Adjusted net
income (loss) attributable to American Renal Associates Holdings,
Inc.” is defined as Net income (loss) attributable to American
Renal Associates Holdings, Inc. plus or minus, as applicable,
certain legal and other matters costs, severance, executive
retirement and related costs, loss (gain) on sale or closure of
clinics, change in valuation allowance for held for sale assets,
change in fair value of income tax receivable agreement, tax
valuation allowance and accounting changes in fair value of
non-controlling interest puts, net of taxes. We use the Adjusted
weighted average number of diluted shares to calculate Adjusted net
income (loss) attributable to American Renal Associates Holdings,
Inc. per share.
We use Adjusted cash provided by operating activities less
distributions to NCI because it is a useful measure to evaluate the
cash flow that is available to the Company for investment in
property, plant and equipment, debt service, growth and other
general corporate purposes. “Adjusted cash provided (used) by
operating activities less distributions to NCI” is defined as cash
provided by operating activities less distributions to
noncontrolling interests.
We use Adjusted owned net debt because we believe it is a useful
metric to evaluate the Company’s share of interests in the cash on
our condensed consolidated balance sheet and the debt of the
Company. “Adjusted owned net debt” is defined as debt (other than
clinic-level debt) plus clinic-level debt guaranteed by our wholly
owned subsidiaries less unamortized debt discounts and fees less
cash (other than clinic-level cash) less the Company’s pro rata
interest in clinic-level cash.
