Acadia Healthcare Reports Second Quarter EPS of $0.67 and Adjusted EPS of $0.70

Revenue Increases to $765.7 Million on 5.2% Growth in Same Facility Revenue

Updates 2018 Financial Guidance

FRANKLIN, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 30, 2018--Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACHC) today announced financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018. Revenue was $765.7 million for the quarter, up 7.0% from $715.9 million for the second quarter of 2017. Net income attributable to Acadia stockholders for the second quarter of 2018 was $58.8 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, compared with $49.6 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2017. Adjusted income attributable to Acadia stockholders per diluted share (“adjusted EPS”) was $0.70 for the second quarter of 2018, a 6.1% increase from $0.66 for the second quarter of 2017, which excludes transaction-related expenses of $2.9 million and $9.1 million for the second quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively, as well as debt extinguishment costs of $0.8 million for the second quarter last year. A reconciliation of all non-GAAP financial results in this release appears beginning on page 7.

Joey Jacobs, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Acadia, remarked, “We are pleased to report that growth in Acadia’s revenue and adjusted EPS met our expectations for the second quarter. Our revenue growth was primarily driven by the addition of nearly 900 beds during the 12 months ended June 30, 2018. We added 155 of these beds during the second quarter, including 67 beds to existing facilities in the U.S. and U.K. and an 88-bed de novo facility through our joint-venture with Erlanger Health System. For the full year 2018, we expect to add more than 800 beds to existing and new facilities.”

For the second quarter of 2018, Acadia’s total same facility revenue increased 5.2% compared with the second quarter of 2017, including a 1.7% increase in patient days and a 3.4% increase in revenue per patient day. Total same facility EBITDA margin declined 60 basis points to 25.7%. U.S. same facility revenue increased 5.0%, including a 1.9% increase in patient days and a 3.1% increase in revenue per patient day. U.S. same facility EBITDA margin declined 30 basis points to 28.1%. U.K. same facility revenue grew 5.6% for the second quarter of 2018 from the second quarter last year, including a 1.6% increase in patient days and a 3.9% increase in revenue per patient day. U.K. same facility EBITDA margin declined 110 basis points to 21.3%.

Acadia today updated its financial guidance for 2018 to reflect a lower exchange rate in the second half of the year as well as higher interest rates. The Company now assumes an exchange rate of $1.30 per British Pound Sterling and interest expense to be approximately $95 million for the second half of the year. The updated guidance is as follows:

The Company’s guidance does not include the impact of any future acquisitions or transaction-related expenses.


EBITDA is defined as net income adjusted for net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, provision for income taxes, net interest expense and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for equity-based compensation expense, transaction-related expenses and debt extinguishment costs. Adjusted income is defined as net income adjusted for transaction-related expenses, tax reform impact, debt extinguishment costs and income tax effect of adjustments to income.

Acadia will hold a conference call to discuss its first quarter financial results at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday, July 31, 2018. A live webcast of the conference call will be available at www.acadiahealthare.com in the “Investors” section of the website. The webcast of the conference call will be available through August 14, 2018.

This news release contains forward-looking statements. Generally, words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “plan,” “continue,” and “believe” or the negative of or other variation on these and other similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this news release. We do not undertake to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and involve risks and uncertainties and our future results could differ significantly from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially include, without limitation, (i) potential difficulties operating our business in light of political and economic instability in the U.K. and globally relating to the U.K.’s departure from the European Union; (ii) the impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, including the devaluation of the British Pound Sterling (GBP) relative to the U.S. Dollar (USD); (iii) Acadia’s ability to complete acquisitions and successfully integrate the operations of acquired facilities; (iv) Acadia’s ability to add beds, expand services, enhance marketing programs and improve efficiencies at its facilities; (v) potential reductions in payments received by Acadia from government and third-party payors; (vi) the occurrence of patient incidents, governmental investigations and adverse regulatory actions, which could adversely affect the price of our common stock and result in substantial payments and incremental regulatory burdens; (vii) the risk that Acadia may not generate sufficient cash from operations to service its debt and meet its working capital and capital expenditure requirements; and (viii) potential operating difficulties, labor costs, client preferences, changes in competition and general economic or industry conditions that may prevent Acadia from realizing the expected benefits of its joint venture, de novo and other business strategies. These factors and others are more fully described in Acadia’s periodic reports and other filings with the SEC.

We have included certain financial measures in this press release, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted income, which are “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined under the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC. We define EBITDA as net income adjusted for net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, provision for income taxes, net interest expense and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for equity-based compensation expense, transaction-related expenses and debt extinguishment costs. We define Adjusted income as net income adjusted for transaction-related expenses, tax reform impact, debt extinguishment costs and income tax effect of adjustments to income.
 
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted income are supplemental measures of our performance and are not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted income are not measures of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as measures of our liquidity. Our measurements of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. We have included information concerning EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted income in this press release because we believe that such information is used by certain investors as measures of a company’s historical performance. We believe these measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of issuers of equity securities, many of which present EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted income when reporting their results. Our presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted income should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.
 
The Company is not able to provide a reconciliation of projected Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per diluted share, where provided, to expected results due to the unknown effect, timing and potential significance of transaction-related expenses and the tax effect of such expenses.
 
(a) Represents the equity-based compensation expense of Acadia.
 
(b) Represents transaction-related expenses incurred by Acadia related to acquisitions and integration efforts.
