(Wed, 05 Aug 2020 20:40:00 +0000)
Reinstates 2020 guidanceLAFAYETTE, La., Aug. 05, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LHC Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: LHCG) announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. Unless otherwise noted, all results are compared with the second quarter ended June 30, 2019.Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results * Net service revenue decreased 5.9% to $487.3 million due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. * Net income attributable to LHC Group’s common stockholders increased 78.8% to $44.7 million, or $1.43 per diluted share. * Adjusted net income attributable to LHC Group’s common stockholders increased 15.9% to $38.6 million, or $1.23 adjusted earnings per diluted share, compared with $33.3 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, in the same period in 2019. Adjusted results for the second quarter of 2020 exclude a pre-tax amount of $0.6 million in acquisition and de novo related expenses associated with acquisitions completed in late 2019 and in the first half of 2020, $0.7 million related to a loss on the sale of an asset and closure related expenses, $27.3 million in COVID-19 related costs and expenses for purchases of personal protective equipment (PPE), supplies, employee related costs and expenses and other categories of costs and expenses incurred in response to the pandemic, and $36.8 million, net of non-controlling interest, in government stimulus income funded by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and distributed through the Provider Relief Fund (PRF). * Adjusted EBITDA increased 8.8% to $57.7 million compared with $53.0 million in the same period in 2019. A reconciliation of all non-GAAP financial results can be found in separate tables at the end of this release. Operational and Strategic Highlights * LHC Group’s quality and patient satisfaction scores continue to exceed the national average and outpace industry peers. * Organic growth in home health admissions declined 4.7% in the second quarter of 2020 compared with the same period in 2019 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. * Home health organic admissions, when compared with the same periods in 2019, declined 14.3% in April, declined 6.7% in May, increased 7.0% in June and increased 8.5% in July. * Organic growth in hospice admissions was 1.8% in the second quarter of 2020 compared with the same period in 2019. * Hospice organic admissions, when compared with the same periods in 2019, declined 7.2% in April, increased 2.7% in May, increased 10.4% in June and increased 9.7% in July. * On August 1, 2020, LHC Group finalized a joint venture with Orlando Health to enhance home health and home and community based services (HCBS) in the state of Florida. The joint venture includes six total locations – three Orlando Health providers and three LHC Group providers in Orlando, Clermont, Kissimmee, and Altamonte Springs. LHC Group expects incremental annualized revenue from this joint venture of approximately $3.5 million.Commenting on the results, Keith G. Myers, LHC Group’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “The courageous work of our employees during these unprecedented times, and their energy, enthusiasm and unwavering desire to care for those in our charge is nothing short of amazing. During the significant disruption over the past several months of this public health emergency, LHC Group has been essential to our hospital and health system partners, referral sources and the patients, families and communities we are privileged to serve. Similar to other challenges the in-home healthcare industry has faced in the past, we know that we are a much stronger organization now as a result of the rigorous protocols and care models in place, rapid adoption of technology, and investments we have made in our employees and personal protective equipment. The governmental support our industry has received through the CARES Act and other measures is very encouraging and complements the ongoing shift to delivering more care to the patient in the safety and comfort of the home.” COVID-19 Update The COVID-19 pandemic had an impact on our operations and financial results for the second quarter of 2020 with a continued impact expected in the second half of 2020, although to a lesser extent than what we have experienced to date. During the quarter, we incurred $27.3 million ($20.2 million net of tax), or $0.64 per diluted share, in additional COVID-19 costs and expenses related to personal protective equipment (PPE), supplies, employee related costs and expenses, including, without limitation, bonuses, increased wages, wage supplements and PTO replenishments for front line caregivers, and other categories of costs and expenses incurred in response to the pandemic.We experienced lower year-over-year patient volumes in the second quarter from our referral sources related to various COVID-19 policies implemented by local, state and federal public health and governmental authorities, a reduction in home visits, and a reduction in elective procedures. As the second quarter progressed, we saw weekly improvement in all of these areas with home health average daily census, admissions and organic growth recovering from their low points the week of April 13, 2020 and steadily improving with average daily census reaching pre-COVID levels by the week of June 1, 2020. Home health average daily census, admissions and organic growth for the month of July also exceeded prior-year levels for July 2019.We continue to invest in creating the safest environment possible for our employees, patients and communities we serve. The robust employee pre-screening, patient and employee protection protocols and other infection control procedures we implemented in March in accordance with Centers for Disease Control recommendations for all 32,000 employees remain in place, and we have also secured adequate par levels of PPE to ensure we are able to continue providing care in the home setting. In addition, we have implemented a number of programs to support our employees, including a special COVID-19 pandemic grant program as part of our 501(c)(3) LHC Group Purpose Fund that supports employees experiencing financial hardships, retirement plan amendments, special cash-in opportunities for accumulated paid time off, expanded offerings in our employee assistance program, a wage supplement program designed to restore certain lost wages for frontline direct patient care-giving employees that qualified, and a PTO replenishment program designed to restore certain hours of paid time off for front line direct patient care-giving employees that qualified and for any employees who previously donated their PTO hours to these front line direct patient caregivers.LHC Group has also implemented a number of cost containment initiatives, including eliminating non-essential travel and expenses along with employee flexing, furloughs, and other measures. We continue to have strong access to capital with over $507.2 million of available liquidity from cash and our revolving credit facility net of the $310.7 million liability associated with the Medicare Accelerated and Advance Payments.During April 2020, we received funds totaling $310.7 million under the Medicare Accelerated and Advance Payment Program as provided for by the CARES Act. The accelerated Medicare payments are interest free and the program currently requires that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) recoup the accelerated payments beginning 120 days after receipt by the provider, by withholding future Medicare fee-for service payments for claims until such time as the full accelerated payment has been recouped. The program currently requires Medicare Part A providers to repay the funds within 210 days of receipt. Cash flows from operations for the second quarter of 2020 included $310.7 million of accelerated Medicare payments, all of which remains deferred on the balance sheet at June 30, 2020.Also during April 2020, we received funds totaling $88.7 million related to the Provider Relief Fund as provided for by the CARES Act. We recognized $44.4 million ($27.2 million net of non-controlling interest and tax), or $0.87 per diluted share, in government stimulus income during the second quarter of 2020 related to general distribution funds received from the Provider Relief Fund. Cash flows from operations for the second quarter of 2020 included $44.4 million of Provider Relief Fund distributions, of which $44.3 million remains deferred on the balance sheet at June 30, 2020.COVID-19 Trends Please refer to the supplemental information that can be found under Quarterly Results on the Company’s Investor Relations page to access more detailed statistics on pre-COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 trends.Full Year 2020 Guidance The Company is reinstating full year 2020 guidance after withdrawing it on May 7, 2020, due to the uncertainty around the COVID-19 pandemic. Full year 2020 net service revenue is expected to be in a range of $2.0 billion to $2.05 billion, adjusted earnings per diluted share is expected to be in a range of $4.60 to $4.80, and Adjusted EBITDA, less non-controlling interest, is expected to be in a range of $220 million to $230 million.The Company’s guidance ranges reflect a number of assumptions that are subject to change based on uncertainties related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. 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, location closures, if any, or future legal expenses, if necessary.Joshua L. Proffitt, LHC Group’s President and Chief Financial Officer, added, “Notwithstanding the headwinds caused by the coronavirus pandemic, we have higher confidence today in the trajectory of our underlying business fundamentals and our positioning for entering 2021 than we did at the beginning of this year. In addition to the weekly improvement in average daily census and admissions since our low point in mid-April, we believe the organic growth and market share gains we have achieved from the gravitation to high quality in-home healthcare providers are clear indications that the future of LHC Group is as bright as ever. For the second consecutive quarter, we have earned over 3,900 new home health referral sources with 3,915 in the first quarter and 3,996 in the second quarter of 2020. By executing on our care model and associated operational strategies under PDGM and strengthening them for the current and potential realities under COVID-19, we are able to maintain our focus on proving our value to all stakeholders today while diligently preparing for an historic consolidation and seismic shift in care delivery to in-home healthcare. I would like to thank all of the clinical professionals and support personnel across the country. You have truly gone above and beyond during these historic times in our country to put others above self and to be an integral part of the solution for our country during this pandemic.”Conference Call LHC Group will host a conference call on Thursday, August 6, 2020, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time to discuss its second quarter 2020 results.
