Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2019

(Unaudited)

1.	Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. (the “Company”) develops and operates inpatient psychiatric facilities, residential treatment centers, group homes, substance abuse facilities and facilities providing outpatient behavioral healthcare services to serve the behavioral health and recovery needs of communities throughout the United States (“U.S.”), the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) and Puerto Rico. At March 31, 2019, the Company operated 593 behavioral healthcare facilities with approximately 18,100 beds in 40 states, the U.K. and Puerto Rico.

Basis of Presentation

The business of the Company is conducted through limited liability companies, partnerships and C-corporations. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all subsidiaries controlled by the Company through its’ direct or indirect ownership of majority interests and exclusive rights granted to the Company as the controlling member of an entity. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations have been included. The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31 and interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any other interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. The information contained in these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 1, 2019. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years to conform to the current year presentation.

2.	Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) ASU 2018-15, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract” (“ASU 2018-15”). ASU 2018-15 requires a customer in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract to follow the internal-use software guidance in ASC 350-402 to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as assets. ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. Management is evaluating the impact of ASU 2018-15 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities” (“ASU 2017-12”). ASU 2017-12 amends the hedge accounting model to enable entities to better portray the economics of their risk management activities in the financial statements and simplifies the application of hedge accounting in certain situations. ASU 2017-12 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2017-02 on January 1, 2019. There is no significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02’s core principle is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. ASU 2016-02 requires application either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented in the financial statements or retrospectively at the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 retrospectively at the beginning of the

period of adoption. Prior periods have not been adjusted. On January 1, 2019, the Company recorded right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $509.8 million and $536.7 million, respectively, as described in Note 8 – Leases.

Revenue

Revenue is primarily derived from services rendered to patients for inpatient psychiatric and substance abuse care, outpatient psychiatric care and residential treatment. The services provided by the Company have no fixed duration and can be terminated by the patient or the facility at any time, and therefore, each treatment is its own stand-alone contract.

As our performance obligations relate to contracts with a duration of one year or less, the Company elected the optional exemption in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 606-10-50-14(a). Therefore, the Company is not required to disclose the transaction price for the remaining performance obligations at the end of the reporting period or when the Company expects to recognize the revenue. The Company has minimal unsatisfied performance obligations at the end of the reporting period as our patients typically are under no obligation to remain admitted in our facilities.

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by service type and by payor within each of the Company’s segments.

U.S. Facilities

The Company’s facilities in the United States (the “U.S. Facilities”) and services provided by the U.S. Facilities can generally be classified into the following categories: acute inpatient psychiatric facilities; specialty treatment facilities; residential treatment centers; and outpatient community-based facilities.

Acute inpatient psychiatric facilities. Acute inpatient psychiatric facilities provide a high level of care in order to stabilize patients that are either a threat to themselves or to others. The acute setting provides 24-hour observation, daily intervention and monitoring by psychiatrists.

Specialty treatment facilities. Specialty treatment facilities include residential recovery facilities, eating disorder facilities and comprehensive treatment centers. The Company provides a comprehensive continuum of care for adults with addictive disorders and co-occurring mental disorders. Inpatient, including detoxification and rehabilitation, partial hospitalization and outpatient treatment programs give patients access to the least restrictive level of care.

Residential treatment centers. Residential treatment centers treat patients with behavioral disorders in a non-hospital setting, including outdoor programs. The facilities balance therapy activities with social, academic and other activities.

Outpatient community-based facilities. Outpatient community-based programs are designed to provide therapeutic treatment to children and adolescents who have a clinically-defined emotional, psychiatric or chemical dependency disorder while enabling the youth to remain at home and within their community.

The table below presents total U.S. revenue attributed to each category (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019		2018
Acute inpatient psychiatric facilities	$	216,597	$	195,891
Specialty treatment facilities		193,035		184,535
Residential treatment centers		73,224		71,557
Outpatient community-based facilities		5,104		10,422
Revenue	$	487,960	$	462,405

The Company receives payments from the following sources for services rendered in our U.S. Facilities: (i) state governments under their respective Medicaid and other programs; (ii) commercial insurers; (iii) the federal government under the Medicare program administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”); and (iv) individual patients and clients.

Table of contents

The Company determines the transaction price based on established billing rates reduced by contractual adjustments provided to third-party payors, discounts provided to uninsured patients and implicit price concessions. Contractual adjustments and discounts are based on contractual agreements, discount policies and historical experience. Implicit price concessions are based on historical collection experience. Most of our U.S. Facilities have contracts containing variable consideration. However, it is unlikely a significant reversal of revenue will occur when the uncertainty is resolved, and therefore, the Company has included the variable consideration in the estimated transaction price. Subsequent changes resulting from a patient’s ability to pay are recorded as bad debt expense, which is included as a component of other operating expenses in the condensed consolidating statements of income. Bad debt expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was not significant.

The following table presents revenue by payor type and as a percentage of revenue in our U.S. Facilities (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,

U.K. Facilities

The Company’s facilities located in the United Kingdom (the “U.K. Facilities”) and services provided by the U.K. Facilities can generally be classified into the following categories: healthcare facilities, education and children’s services, adult care facilities and elderly care facilities.

Healthcare facilities. Healthcare facilities provide psychiatric treatment and nursing for sufferers of mental disorders, including for patients whose risk of harm to others and risk of escape from hospitals cannot be managed safely within other mental health settings. In order to manage the risks involved with treating patients, the facility is managed through the application of a range of security measures depending on the level of dependency and risk exhibited by the patient.

Education and children’s services. Education and children’s services provide specialist education for children and young people with special educational needs, including autism, Asperger’s Syndrome, social, emotional and mental health, and specific learning difficulties, such as dyslexia. The division also offers standalone children’s homes for children that require 52-week residential care to support complex and challenging behavior and fostering services.

Adult care facilities. Adult care focuses on care of individuals with a variety of learning difficulties, mental health illnesses and adult autism spectrum disorders. It also includes long-term, short-term and respite nursing care to high-dependency elderly individuals who are physically frail or suffering from dementia. Care is provided in a number of settings, including in residential care homes and through supported living.

The table below presents total U.K. revenue attributed to each category (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019		2018
Healthcare facilities	$	151,708	$	154,615
Education and Children’s Services		46,122		48,085
Adult Care facilities		74,827		77,136
Revenue	$	272,657	$	279,836

On an annual basis, the Company receives payments from approximately 500 public funded sources in the U.K. (including the National Health Service (“NHS”), Clinical Commissioning Groups (“CCGs”) and local authorities in England, Scotland and Wales) and individual patients and clients. The Company determines the transaction price based on established billing rates by payor and is reduced by implicit price concessions. Implicit price concessions are insignificant in the U.K. Facilities.

4.	Earnings Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019		2018
Numerator:
Net income attributable to Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc.	$	29,471	$	50,819

Leases

The Company’s lease portfolio primarily consists of finance and operating real estate leases integral for facility operations. The original terms of the leases typically range from five to 30 years with optional renewal periods. A minimal portion of the Company’s lease portfolio consists of non-real estate leases, including copiers and equipment, which generally have lease terms of one to three years and have insignificant lease obligations.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02. ASU 2016-02’s core principle is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 retrospectively at the beginning of the period of adoption. Prior periods have not been adjusted.

The Company has elected the package of practical expedients offered in the transition guidance which allows management not to reassess lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company also elected the accounting policy practical expedients by class of underlying asset to: (i) combine associated lease and non-lease components into a single lease component; and (ii) exclude recording short-term leases as right-of-use assets and liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Non-lease components, which are not significant overall, are combined with lease components.

On January 1, 2019, the Company recorded right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet of $509.8 million and $536.7 million, respectively, for non-cancelable real estate operating leases with original lease terms in excess of one year. Finance leases remained on the condensed consolidating balance sheets as required by previous accounting guidance. The Company reviews service agreements for embedded leases and records right-of-use assets and liabilities as necessary.

Operating lease liabilities were recorded as the present value of remaining lease payments not yet paid for the lease term discounted using the incremental borrowing rate associated with each lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets represent operating lease liabilities adjusted for prepayments, accrued lease payments, lease incentives and initial direct costs. Certain of the Company’s leases include renewal or termination options. Calculation of operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities include the initial lease term unless it is reasonably certain a renewal or termination option will be exercised. Variable components of lease payments fluctuating with a future index or rate, as well as those related to common area maintenance costs, are not included in determining lease payments and are expensed as incurred. Most of the Company’s leases do not contain implicit borrowing rates, and therefore, incremental borrowing rates were calculated based on information available at the later of the lease commencement date or January 1, 2019. Incremental borrowing rates reflect the Company’s estimated interest rates for collateralized borrowings over similar lease terms.

Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility

The Company entered into a senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”) on April 1, 2011. On December 31, 2012, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) which amended and restated the Senior Secured Credit Facility (the “Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility”). The Company has amended the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement from time to time as described in the Company’s prior filings with the SEC.

On March 22, 2018, the Company entered into a Second Repricing Facilities Amendment (the “Second Repricing Facilities Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Second Repricing Facilities Amendment (i) replaced the Term Loan B Facility Tranche B-1 (the “Tranche B-1 Facility”) and the Term Loan B Facility Tranche B-2 (the “Tranche B-2 Facility”) with a new Term Loan B facility Tranche B-3 (the “Tranche B-3 Facility”) and a new Term Loan B facility Tranche B-4 (the “Tranche B-4 Facility”), respectively, and (ii) reduced the Applicable Rate from 2.75% to 2.50% in the case of Eurodollar Rate loans and reduced the Applicable Rate from 1.75% to 1.50% in the case of Base Rate Loans.

On March 29, 2018, the Company entered into a Third Repricing Facilities Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Third Repricing Facilities Amendment”, and together with the Second Repricing Facilities Amendment, the “Repricing Facilities Amendments”). The Third Repricing Facilities Amendment replaced the existing revolving credit facility and Term Loan A facility (“TLA Facility”) with a new revolving credit facility and TLA Facility, respectively. The Company’s line of credit on its revolving credit facility remains at $500.0 million and the Third Repricing Facility Amendment reduced the size of the TLA Facility from $400.0 million to $380.0 million to reflect the then current outstanding principal. The Third Repricing Facilities Amendment reduced the Applicable Rate by 25 basis points for the revolving credit facility and the TLA Facility by amending the

definition of “Applicable Rate.”

In connection with the Repricing Facilities Amendments, the Company recorded a debt extinguishment charge of $0.9 million, including the discount and write-off of deferred financing costs, which was recorded in debt extinguishment costs in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

On February 6, 2019, the Company entered into the Eleventh Amendment (the “Eleventh Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Eleventh Amendment, among other things, amended the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” to remove the cap on non-cash charges, losses and expenses related to the impairment of goodwill, which in turn provided increased flexibility to the Company in terms of the Company’s financial covenants.

On February 27, 2019, the Company entered into the Twelfth Amendment (the “Twelfth Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Twelfth Amendment, among other things, modified certain definitions, including “Consolidated EBITDA”, and increased our permitted Maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio, thereby providing increased flexibility to the Company in terms of the Company’s financial covenants.

The Company had $414.7 million of availability under the revolving line of credit and had standby letters of credit outstanding of $13.7 million related to security for the payment of claims required by its workers’ compensation insurance program at March 31, 2019. Borrowings under the revolving line of credit are subject to customary conditions precedent to borrowing. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement requires quarterly term loan principal repayments of our TLA Facility of $4.8 million for June 30, 2019 to December 31, 2019, $7.1 million for March 31, 2020 to December 31, 2020, and $9.5 million for March 31, 2021 to September 30, 2021, with the remaining principal balance of the TLA Facility due on the maturity date of November 30, 2021. The Company is required to repay the Tranche B-3 Facility in equal quarterly installments of $1.2 million on the last business day of each March, June, September and December, with the outstanding principal balance of the Tranche B-3 Facility due on February 11, 2022. The Company is required to repay the Tranche B-4 Facility in equal quarterly installments of approximately $2.3 million on the last business day of each March, June, September and December, with the outstanding principal balance of the Tranche B-4 Facility due on February 16, 2023. On April 17, 2018, the Company made an additional payment of $15.0 million, including $5.1 million on the Tranche B-3 Facility and $9.9 million on the Tranche B-4 Facility.

Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility are guaranteed by each of the Company’s wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (other than certain excluded subsidiaries) and are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and such subsidiaries. Borrowings with respect to the TLA Facility and the Company’s revolving credit facility (collectively, “Pro Rata Facilities”) under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate tied to Acadia’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio (defined as consolidated funded debt net of up to $50.0 million of unrestricted and unencumbered cash to consolidated EBITDA, in each case as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement). The Applicable Rate (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) for the Pro Rata Facilities was 2.50% for Eurodollar Rate Loans (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) and 1.50% for Base Rate Loans (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) at March 31, 2019. Eurodollar Rate Loans with respect to the Pro Rata Facilities bear interest at the Applicable Rate plus the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) (based upon the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) prior to commencement of the interest rate period). Base Rate Loans with respect to the Pro Rata Facilities bear interest at the Applicable Rate plus the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the prime rate and (iii) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.00%. At March 31, 2019, the Pro Rata Facilities bore interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.50%. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee on undrawn amounts under the revolving line of credit.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement requires the Company and its subsidiaries to comply with customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including a fixed charge coverage ratio, consolidated leverage ratio and senior secured leverage ratio. The Company may be required to pay all of its indebtedness immediately if it defaults on any of the numerous financial or other restrictive covenants contained in any of its material debt agreements. At March 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with such covenants.

10.	Equity-Based Compensation

Equity Incentive Plans

The Company issues stock-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units, to certain officers, employees and non-employee directors under the Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”). At March 31, 2019, a maximum of 8,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were authorized for issuance as stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units or other share-based compensation under the Equity Incentive Plan, of which 2,737,250 were available for future grant. Stock options may be granted for terms of up to ten years. The Company recognizes expense on all share-based awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the entire award. Grants to employees generally vest in annual increments of 25% each year, commencing one year after the date of grant. The exercise prices of stock options are equal to the most recent closing price of the Company’s common stock on the most recent trading date prior to the date of grant.

The Company recognized $6.1 million and $6.9 million in equity-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. At March 31, 2019, there was $40.9 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested options, restricted stock and restricted stock units, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting period of 1.4 years.

Options exercisable at March 31, 2019		611,099		$	46.73		6.29	$	717

Fair values are estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following table summarizes the grant-date fair value of options and the assumptions used to develop the fair value estimates for options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and year ended December 31, 2018:

	March 31, 2019			December 31, 2018
Weighted average grant-date fair value of options	$	10.45		$	13.67
Risk-free interest rate		2.4	%		2.2	%
Expected volatility		38	%		37	%
Expected life (in years)		5.0			5.1

The Company’s estimate of expected volatility for stock options is based upon the volatility of our stock price over the expected life of the award. The risk-free interest rate is the approximate yield on U. S. Treasury Strips having a life equal to the expected option life on the date of grant. The expected life is an estimate of the number of years an option will be held before it is exercised.

Restricted stock awards are time-based vesting awards that vest over a period of three or four years and are subject to continuing service of the employee or non-employee director over the ratable vesting periods. The fair values of the restricted stock awards were determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the trading date immediately prior to the grant date.

Restricted stock units are granted to employees and are subject to Company performance compared to pre-established targets and, in the case of the 2018 awards, Company performance compared to peers. In addition to Company performance, these performance-based restricted stock units are subject to the continuing service of the employee during the two- or three-year period covered by the awards. The performance condition for the restricted stock units is based on the Company’s achievement of annually established targets for diluted earnings per share. Additionally, the number of shares issuable pursuant to restricted stock units granted during 2018 is subject to adjustment based on the Company’s three-year annualized total stockholder return relative to a peer group consisting of S&P 1500 companies within the Healthcare Providers & Services 6 digit GICS industry group and selected other companies deemed to be peers. The number of shares issuable at the end of the applicable vesting period of restricted stock units ranges from 0% to 200% of the targeted units based on the Company’s actual performance compared to the targets and, for 2018 awards, performance compared to peers.

The fair values of restricted stock units were determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the trading date immediately prior to the grant date for units subject to performance conditions, or at its Monte-Carlo simulation value for units subject to market conditions.

11.	Income Taxes

The provision for (benefit from) income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 reflects effective tax rates of 20.0% and (5.8)%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was primarily attributable to the application of Public Law 115-97, informally referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Company recorded a discrete benefit of $10.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018 related to a change in the Company’s provisional amount recorded at December 31, 2017.

12.	Derivatives

The Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 in connection with certain transfers of cash between the U.S. and U.K. under the Company’s cash management and foreign currency risk management programs. Foreign currency forward contracts limit the economic risk of changes in the exchange rate between U.S. Dollars (“USD”) and British Pounds (“GBP”) associated with cash transfers.

In May 2016, the Company entered into multiple cross currency swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $650.0 million to manage foreign currency risk by effectively converting a portion of its fixed-rate USD-denominated senior notes, including the semi-annual interest payments thereunder, to fixed-rate GBP-denominated debt of £449.3 million. During the term of the swap agreements, the Company will receive semi-annual interest payments in USD from the counterparties at fixed interest rates, and the Company will make semi-annual interest payments in GBP to the counterparties at fixed interest rates. The interest payments under the cross-currency swap agreements result in £24.7 million of annual cash flows from the Company’s U.K. business being converted to $35.8 million (at a 1.45 exchange rate).

Table of contents

The Company has designated the cross currency swap agreements and forward contracts entered into during 2018 and the three months ended March 31, 2019 as qualifying hedging instruments and is accounting for these as net investment hedges. The fair value of these derivatives at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 of $46.3 million and $60.5 million, respectively, are recorded as derivative instrument assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The gains and losses resulting from fair value adjustments to the cross currency swap agreements are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss as the swaps are effective in hedging the designated risk. Cash flows related to the cross currency swap derivatives are included in operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

13.	Fair Value Measurements

The carrying amounts reported for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Fair values were based on trading activity among the Company’s lenders and the average bid and ask price as determined using published rates.

The fair values of the derivative instruments were categorized as Level 2 in the GAAP fair value hierarchy and were based on observable market inputs including applicable exchange rates and interest rates.

14.	Commitments and Contingencies

Professional and General Liability

A portion of the Company’s professional liability risks are insured through a wholly-owned insurance subsidiary. The Company is self-insured for professional liability claims up to $3.0 million per claim and has obtained reinsurance coverage from a third party to cover claims in excess of the retention limit. The reinsurance policy has a coverage limit of $75.0 million in the aggregate. The Company’s reinsurance receivables are recognized consistent with the related liabilities and include known claims and any incurred but not reported claims that are covered by current insurance policies in place.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is, from time to time, subject to various claims, lawsuits, governmental investigations and regulatory actions, including claims for damages for personal injuries, medical malpractice, overpayments, breach of contract, securities law violations, tort and employment related claims. In these actions, plaintiffs request a variety of damages, including, in some instances, punitive and other types of damages that may not be covered by insurance. In addition, healthcare companies are subject to numerous investigations by various governmental agencies. Certain of the Company’s individual facilities have received, and from time to time, other facilities may receive, subpoenas, civil investigative demands, audit requests and other inquiries from, and may be subject to investigation by, federal and state agencies. These investigations can result in repayment obligations, and violations of the False Claims Act can result in substantial monetary penalties and fines, the imposition of a corporate integrity agreement and exclusion from participation in governmental health programs. In addition, the federal False Claims Act permits private parties to bring qui tam, or

“whistleblower,” suits against companies that submit false claims for payments to, or improperly retain overpayments from, the government. Some states have adopted similar state whistleblower and false claims provisions.

On April 1, 2019, a consolidated complaint was filed against the Company and certain former and current officers in the lawsuit styled St. Clair County Employees’ Retirement System v. Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc., et al., Case No. 3:19-cv-00988, which is pending in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. The complaint purports to be brought on behalf of a class consisting of all persons (other than defendants) who purchased securities of the Company between April 30, 2014 and November 15, 2018, and alleges that defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. At this time, we are not able to quantify any potential liability in connection with this litigation because the case is in its early stages.

On February 21, 2019, a purported stockholder filed a related derivative action on behalf of the Company against certain former and current officers and directors in the lawsuit styled Davydov v. Joey A. Jacobs, et al., Case No. 3:19-cv-00167, which is pending in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. The complaint alleges claims for violations of Section 10(b) and 14(a) of the Exchange Act, breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, and unjust enrichment. On April 15, 2019, the Court entered an order staying the case pending a ruling on the motion to dismiss that will be filed in the St. Clair County v. Acadia Healthcare case described above. At this time, we are not able to quantify any potential liability in connection with this litigation because the case is in its early stages.

During the third quarter of 2018, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of West Virginia served subpoenas on seven of our comprehensive treatment centers located in West Virginia requesting various documents from January 2012 to present. The U.S. Attorney’s Office has advised us that the civil aspect of the investigation is a False Claims Act investigation focused on claims submitted by the centers for certain lab services. The Company is cooperating fully with the government’s investigation and established a reserve of $19.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2018 relating to the Company’s billing for lab services in West Virginia. In connection with the investigation, we expect to enter into a corporate integrity agreement with the Office of Inspector General imposing customary compliance obligations on our subsidiary, CRC Health. Changes in the reserve may be required in future periods as discussions with the government continue and additional information becomes available.

In the fall of 2017, the Office of Inspector General issued subpoenas to three of the Company’s facilities requesting certain documents from January 2013 to the date of the subpoenas. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida issued a civil investigative demand to one of the Company’s facilities in December 2017 requesting certain documents from November 2012 to the date of the demand. In April 2019, the Office of Inspector General issued subpoenas relating to six additional facilities requesting certain documents and information from January 2013 to the date of the subpoenas. The government’s investigation of each of these facilities is focused on claims not eligible for payment because of alleged violations of certain regulatory requirements relating to, among other things, medical necessity, admission eligibility, discharge decisions, length of stay and patient care issues. The Company is cooperating with the government’s investigation but is not able to quantify any potential liability in connection with these investigations.

On January 15, 2019, the Company paid $3.1 million in connection with a class action lawsuit filed in 2011 on behalf of the shareholders of PHC, Inc. d/b/a Pioneer Behavioral Health (“PHC”) related to the merger of the Company with PHC.

15.	Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests in the consolidated financial statements represents the portion of equity held by noncontrolling partners in the Company’s non-wholly owned subsidiaries. At March 31, 2019, the Company operated five facilities and owns between 60% and 85% of the equity interests, and noncontrolling partners own the remaining equity interests. The initial value of the noncontrolling interests is based on the fair value of contributions, and the Company consolidates the operations of each facility based on its equity ownership and its control of the entity. The noncontrolling interests are reflected as redeemable noncontrolling interests on the condensed consolidated balance sheets based on put rights that could require the Company to purchase the noncontrolling interests upon the occurrence of a change in control.

The components of redeemable noncontrolling interests are as follows (in thousands):

Balance at December 31, 2018	$	28,806
Acquisition of redeemable noncontrolling interests		3,085
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests		40

Table of contents

(1)

Segment EBITDA is defined as income before provision for income taxes, equity-based compensation expense, transaction-related expenses, debt extinguishment costs, interest expense and depreciation and amortization. The Company uses Segment EBITDA as an analytical indicator to measure the performance of the Company’s segments and to develop strategic objectives and operating plans for those segments. Segment EBITDA is commonly used as an analytical indicator within the health care industry, and also serves as a measure of leverage capacity and debt service ability. Segment EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded from Segment EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Because Segment EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, Segment EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

(2)

Assets include property and equipment for the U.S. Facilities of $1.4 billion, U.K. Facilities of $1.7 billion and corporate and other of $42.9 million at March 31, 2019.

Overview

Our business strategy is to acquire and develop behavioral healthcare facilities and improve our operating results within our facilities and our other behavioral healthcare operations. We strive to improve the operating results of our facilities by providing high-quality services, expanding referral networks and marketing initiatives while meeting the increased demand for behavioral healthcare services through expansion of our current locations as well as developing new services within existing locations. At March 31, 2019, we operated 593 behavioral healthcare facilities with approximately 18,100 beds in 40 states, the U.K. and Puerto Rico. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we acquired 10 facilities and added 260 beds (exclusive of acquisitions), including 100 added to existing facilities and 160 added through the opening of two de novo facilities. For the year ending December 31, 2019, we expect to add approximately 700 total beds exclusive of acquisitions.

We are the leading publicly traded pure-play provider of behavioral healthcare services, with operations in the U.S. and the U.K. Management believes that we are positioned as a leading platform in a highly fragmented industry under the direction of an experienced management team that has significant industry expertise. Management expects to take advantage of several strategies that are more accessible as a result of our increased size and geographic scale, including continuing a national marketing strategy to attract new patients and referral sources, increasing our volume of out-of-state referrals, providing a broader range of services to new and existing patients and clients and selectively pursuing opportunities to expand our facility and bed count in the U.S and U.K. though acquisitions, joint ventures and bed additions in existing facilities.

Segments

At March 31, 2019, the U.S. Facilities segment included 223 behavioral healthcare facilities with approximately 9,300 beds in 40 states and Puerto Rico, and the U.K. Facilities segment included 370 behavioral healthcare facilities with approximately 8,800 beds in the U.K.

The following table sets forth percent changes in same facility operating data for our U.S. Facilities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018:

U.S. Same Facility Results (a)
Revenue growth		6.1%
Patient days growth		4.3%
Admissions growth		6.8%
Average length of stay change (b)		-2.3%
Revenue per patient day growth		1.7%
EBITDA margin change (c)		0 bps

(a)

Results for the period presented include facilities we have operated more than one year and exclude certain closed services.

(b)

Average length of stay is defined as patient days divided by admissions.

(c) Segment EBITDA is defined as income before provision for income taxes, equity-based compensation expense, transaction-related expenses, debt extinguishment costs, interest expense and depreciation and amortization. Management uses Segment EBITDA as an analytical indicator to

Table of contents

measure the performance of our segments and to develop strategic objectives and operating plans for those segments. Segment EBITDA is commonly used as an analytical indicator within the health care industry, and also serves as a measure of leverage capacity and debt service ability. Segment EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded from Segment EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Because Segment EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, Segment EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

The following table sets forth percent changes in same facility operating data for our U.K. Facilities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018:

U.K. Same Facility Results (a,c)
Revenue growth		4.7%
Patient days growth		0.9%
Admissions growth		-2.1%
Average length of stay change (b)		3.1%
Revenue per patient day growth		3.7%
EBITDA margin change (d,e)		-430 bps

(a)

Results for the period presented include facilities we have operated more than one year and exclude the elderly care division and certain closed services.

(b)

Average length of stay is defined as patient days divided by admissions.

(c)

Revenue and revenue per patient day for the three months ended March 31, 2018 is adjusted to reflect the foreign currency exchange rate for the comparable periods of 2018 in order to eliminate the effect of changes in the exchange rate.

(d)

See definition of Segment EBITDA in U.S. Same Facility Results table above.

(e)

U.K. EBITDA margin was affected by lower census and higher operating expenses including labor in particular.

Three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018

Revenue. Revenue increased $18.4 million, or 2.5%, to $760.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $742.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 resulting from same facility revenue growth of 5.6% and offset by the decrease in the exchange rate between USD and GBP of $17.9 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we generated $488.0 million of revenue, or 64.2% of our total revenue, from our U.S. Facilities and $272.7 million of revenue, or 35.8% of our total revenue, from our U.K. Facilities. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we generated $462.4 million of revenue, or 62.3% of our total revenue, from our U.S. Facilities and $279.8 million of revenue, or 37.7% of our total revenue, from our U.K. Facilities.

U.S. same facility revenue increased by $27.4 million, or 6.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018, resulting from same facility growth in patient days of 4.3% and an increase in same facility revenue per day of 1.7%. U.K. same facility revenue increased by $11.1 million, or 4.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018, resulting from same facility growth in patient days of 0.9% and an increase in same facility revenue per day of 3.7%. Consistent with the same facility patient day growth in 2018, the growth in same facility patient days for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018, resulted from the addition of beds to our existing facilities and ongoing demand for our services.

Salaries, wages and benefits. Salaries, wages and benefits (“SWB”) expense was $429.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $411.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, an increase of $18.1 million. SWB expense included $6.1 million and $6.9 million of equity-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Excluding equity-based compensation expense, SWB expense was $423.5 million, or 55.7% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $404.6 million, or 54.5% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Same facility SWB expense was $379.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, or 52.4% of revenue, compared to $352.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, or 51.5% of revenue.

Professional fees. Professional fees were $57.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, or 7.5% of revenue, compared to $54.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, or 7.3% of revenue. The $3.0 million increase was primarily attributable to higher contract labor costs in our U.K. Facilities. Contract labor costs in our U.K. Facilities were higher primarily due

Table of contents

to the ongoing nursing and clinical labor shortage and our dependence on higher cost agency labor. Same facility professional fees were $49.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, or 6.8% of revenue, compared to $44.3 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2018, or 6.5% of revenue.

Supplies. Supplies expense was $30.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, or 3.9% of revenue, compared to $29.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, or 4.0% of revenue. Same facility supplies expense was $27.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, or 3.8% of revenue, compared to $26.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, or 3.9% of revenue.

Rents and leases. Rents and leases were $20.3 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, or 2.7% of revenue. Same facility rents and leases were $16.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, or 2.3% of revenue, compared to $15.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, or 2.3% of revenue.

Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses consisted primarily of purchased services, utilities, insurance, travel and repairs and maintenance expenses. Other operating expenses were $93.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, or 12.3% of revenue, compared to $88.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, or 11.9% of revenue. Same facility other operating expenses were $86.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, or 12.0% of revenue, compared to $80.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, or 11.7% of revenue.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $40.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, or 5.3% of revenue, compared to $39.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, or 5.4% of revenue.

Interest expense. Interest expense was $48.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $45.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in interest expense was primarily a result of higher interest rates applicable to our variable-rate debt slightly offset by the lower interest rates as a result of the Repricing Facilities to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

Debt extinguishment costs. Debt extinguishment costs for the three months ended March 31, 2018 represent $0.6 million of cash charges and $0.3 million of non-cash charges recorded in connection with the Repricing Facilities Amendments to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

Transaction-related expenses. Transaction-related expenses were $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Transaction-related expenses represent costs incurred in the respective periods primarily related to our acquisitions, termination, restructuring and closure costs, as summarized below (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019		2018
Termination, restructuring and closure costs	$	3,525	$	3,392
Legal, accounting and other		796		1,376

The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was primarily attributable to the application of the Tax Act. The Company recorded a discrete benefit of $10.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018 related to the change in the Company’s provisional amount recorded at December 31, 2017.

Revenue

Our revenue is primarily derived from services rendered to patients for inpatient psychiatric and substance abuse care, outpatient psychiatric care and adolescent residential treatment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash provided by continuing operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $43.7 million compared to $72.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease in cash provided by continuing operating activities was primarily attributable to the decline in earnings in our U.K. Facilities and changes in salaries, wages and benefits accruals. Days sales outstanding were 39 days at both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had working capital of $27.8 million and $34.0 million, respectively.

Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $110.1 million compared to $78.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 primarily consisted of cash paid for acquisitions of $40.4 million, $69.2 million of cash paid for capital expenditures and $1.1 million of cash paid for real estate. Cash paid for capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2019 consisted of $18.5 million of routine capital expenditures and $50.7 million of expansion capital expenditures. We define expansion capital expenditures as those that increase the capacity of our facilities or otherwise enhance revenue. Routine or maintenance capital expenditures were 2.4% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 primarily consisted of $70.3 million of cash paid for capital expenditures and $4.3 million of cash paid for real estate. Cash paid for capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2018 consisted of $18.1 million of cash paid for routine capital expenditures and $52.2 million of expansion capital expenditures.

Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $58.5 million compared to cash used in financing activities of $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 consisted of borrowings on revolving credit facility of $71.6 million offset by principal payments of long-term debt of $8.2 million, common stock withheld for minimum statutory taxes of $1.3 million and other of $3.5 million. Cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 primarily consisted of common stock withheld for minimum statutory taxes of $2.0 million and other of $2.7 million.

We had total available cash and cash equivalents of $43.7 million and $50.5 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, of which approximately $25.8 million and $18.0 million was held by our foreign subsidiaries, respectively. Our strategic plan does not require the repatriation of foreign cash in order to fund our operations in the U.S., and it is our current intention to permanently reinvest our foreign cash and cash equivalents outside of the U.S.

Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility

We entered into the Senior Secured Credit Facility on April 1, 2011. On December 31, 2012, we entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement which amended and restated the Senior Secured Credit Facility. We have amended the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement from time to time as described in our prior filings with the SEC.

On March 22, 2018, we entered into a Second Repricing Facilities Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Second Repricing Facilities Amendment (i) replaced the Tranche B-1 Facility and the Tranche B-2 Facility with a new Tranche B-3 Facility and a new Tranche B-4 Facility, respectively, and (ii) reduced the Applicable Rate from 2.75% to 2.50% in the case of Eurodollar Rate loans and reduced the Applicable Rate from 1.75% to 1.50% in the case of Base Rate Loans.

On March 29, 2018, we entered into a Third Repricing Facilities Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Third Repricing Facilities Amendment replaced the existing revolving credit facility and TLA Facility with a new revolving credit facility and TLA Facility, respectively. Our line of credit on the revolving credit facility remains at $500.0 million and the Third Repricing Facility Amendment reduced the size of the TLA Facility from $400.0 million to $380.0 million to reflect the then current outstanding principal. The Third Repricing Facilities Amendment reduced the Applicable Rate for the revolving credit facility and the TLA Facility by amending the definition of “Applicable Rate” and replacing the rate table therein with the table set forth below.

In connection with the Repricing Facilities Amendments, we recorded a debt extinguishment charge of $0.9 million, including the discount and write-off of deferred financing costs, which was recorded in debt extinguishment costs in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

On February 6, 2019, we entered into the Eleventh Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Eleventh Amendment, among other things, amended the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” to remove the cap on non-cash charges, losses and expenses related to the impairment of goodwill, which in turn provided increased flexibility to us in terms of our financial covenants.

Table of contents

On February 27, 2019, we entered into the Twelfth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Twelfth Amendment, among other things, modified certain definitions, including “Consolidated EBITDA”, and increased our permitted Maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio, thereby providing increased flexibility to us in terms of our financial covenants.

We had $414.7 million of availability under the revolving line of credit and had standby letters of credit outstanding of $13.7 million related to security for the payment of claims required by our workers’ compensation insurance program at March 31, 2019. Borrowings under the revolving line of credit are subject to customary conditions precedent to borrowing. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement requires quarterly term loan principal repayments of our TLA Facility of $4.8 million for June 30, 2019 to December 31, 2019, $7.1 million for March 31, 2020 to December 31, 2020, and $9.5 million for March 31, 2021 to September 30, 2021, with the remaining principal balance of the TLA Facility due on the maturity date of November 30, 2021. We are required to repay the Tranche B-3 Facility in equal quarterly installments of $1.2 million on the last business day of each March, June, September and December, with the outstanding principal balance of the Tranche B-3 Facility due on February 11, 2022. We are required to repay the Tranche B-4 Facility in equal quarterly installments of approximately $2.3 million on the last business day of each March, June, September and December, with the outstanding principal balance of the Tranche B-4 Facility due on February 16, 2023. On April 17, 2018, we made an additional payment of $15.0 million, including $5.1 million on the Tranche B-3 Facility and $9.9 million on the Tranche B-4 Facility.

Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by each of our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (other than certain excluded subsidiaries) and are secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company and such subsidiaries’ assets. Borrowings with respect to the TLA Facility and our revolving credit facility (collectively, “Pro Rata Facilities”) under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate tied to our Consolidated Leverage Ratio (defined as consolidated funded debt net of up to $50.0 million of unrestricted and unencumbered cash to consolidated EBITDA, in each case as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement). The Applicable Rate (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) for the Pro Rata Facilities was 2.50% for Eurodollar Rate Loans (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) and 1.50% for Base Rate Loans (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) at March 31, 2019. Eurodollar Rate Loans with respect to the Pro Rata Facilities bear interest at the Applicable Rate plus the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) (based upon the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) prior to commencement of the interest rate period). Base Rate Loans with respect to the Pro Rata Facilities bear interest at the Applicable Rate plus the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the prime rate and (iii) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0%. At March 31, 2019, the Pro Rata Facilities bore interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.50%. In addition, we are required to pay a commitment fee on undrawn amounts under our revolving credit facility.

The interest rates and the unused line fee on unused commitments related to the Pro Rata Facilities are based upon the following pricing tiers:

Pricing Tier	Consolidated Leverage Ratio	Eurodollar Rate Loans			Base Rate Loans			Commitment Fee
1	< 3.50:1.0		1.50	%		0.50	%		0.20	%
2	>3.50:1.0 but < 4.00:1.0		1.75	%		0.75	%		0.25	%
3	>4.00:1.0 but < 4.50:1.0		2.00	%		1.00	%		0.30	%
4	>4.50:1.0 but < 5.25:1.0		2.25	%		1.25	%		0.35	%
5	>5.25:1.0		2.50	%		1.50	%		0.40	%

Eurodollar Rate Loans with respect to the Tranche B-3 Facility bear interest at the Tranche B-3 Facility Applicable Rate (as defined below) plus the Eurodollar Rate (subject to a floor of 0.75% and based upon the LIBOR Rate prior to commencement of the interest rate period). Base Rate Loans bear interest at the Tranche B-3 Facility Applicable Rate plus the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the prime rate and (iii) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0%. As used herein, the term “Tranche B-3 Facility Applicable Rate” means, with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, 2.50%, and with respect to Base Rate Loans, 1.50%. The Tranche B-4 Facility bears interest as follows: Eurodollar Rate Loans bear interest at the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) plus the Eurodollar Rate (subject to a floor of 0.75% and based upon the LIBOR Rate prior to commencement of the interest rate period) and Base Rate Loans bear interest at the Applicable Rate plus the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the prime rate and (iii) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0%. As used herein, the term “Applicable Rate” means, with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, 2.50%, and with respect to Base Rate Loans, 1.50%.

The lenders who provided the Tranche B-3 Facility and Tranche B-4 Facility are not entitled to benefit from our maintenance of its financial covenants under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Accordingly, if we fail to maintain its financial covenants, such failure shall not constitute an event of default under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with respect to the Tranche B-

Table of contents

3 Facility or Tranche B-4 Facility until and unless the Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility is accelerated or the commitment of the lenders to make further loans is terminated.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement requires us and our subsidiaries to comply with customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including a fixed charge coverage ratio, consolidated leverage ratio and consolidated senior secured leverage ratio. We may be required to pay all of our indebtedness immediately if we default on any of the numerous financial or other restrictive covenants contained in any of our material debt agreements.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Our interest expense is sensitive to changes in market interest rates. Our long-term debt outstanding at March 31, 2019 was composed of $1.5 billion of fixed-rate debt and $1.8 billion of variable-rate debt with interest based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin. A hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates (which would equate to a 0.49% higher rate on our variable rate debt) would decrease our net income and cash flows by $5.9 million on an annual basis based upon our borrowing level at March 31, 2019.

LIBOR and certain other interest “benchmarks” may be subject to regulatory guidance and/or reform that could cause interest rates under our current or future debt agreements to perform differently than in the past or cause other unanticipated consequences. The U.K.’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, has announced that it intends to stop encouraging or requiring banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR rates after 2021, and it is unclear if LIBOR will cease to exist or if new methods of calculating LIBOR will evolve. If LIBOR ceases to exist or if the methods of calculating LIBOR change from their current form, interest rates on our current or future debt obligations may be adversely affected.

Foreign Currency Risk

The functional currency for our U.K. facilities is the British pound or GBP. Our revenue and earnings are sensitive to changes in the GBP to USD exchange rate from the translation of our earnings into USD at exchange rates that may fluctuate. Based upon the

Table of contents

level of our U.K. operations relative to the Company as a whole, a hypothetical 10% change in the exchange rate (which would equate to an increase or decrease in the exchange rate of 0.13) would cause a change in our net income of $7.7 million on an annual basis.

In May 2016, we entered into multiple cross currency swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $650.0 million to manage foreign currency exchange risk by effectively converting a portion of our fixed-rate USD denominated senior notes, including the semi-annual interest payments thereunder, to fixed-rate, GBP-denominated debt of £449.3 million. The cross currency swap agreements limit the impact of changes in the exchange rate on our cash flows and leverage.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company adopted the new lease accounting guidance in ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019 and began using new lease accounting software. The implementation of the new lease accounting standard and lease accounting software included additions to our internal controls, policies and procedures. There have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2019 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

We are, from time to time, subject to various claims, lawsuits, governmental investigations and regulatory actions, including claims for damages for personal injuries, medical malpractice, overpayments, breach of contract, securities law violations, tort and employment related claims. In these actions, plaintiffs request a variety of damages, including, in some instances, punitive and other types of damages that may not be covered by insurance. In addition, healthcare companies are subject to numerous investigations by various governmental agencies. Certain of our individual facilities have received, and from time to time, other facilities may receive, subpoenas, civil investigative demands, audit requests and other inquiries from, and may be subject to investigation by, federal and state agencies. These investigations can result in repayment obligations, and violations of the False Claims Act can result in substantial monetary penalties and fines, the imposition of a corporate integrity agreement and exclusion from participation in governmental health programs. In addition, the federal False Claims Act permits private parties to bring qui tam, or “whistleblower,” suits against companies that submit false claims for payments to, or improperly retain overpayments from, the government. Some states have adopted similar state whistleblower and false claims provisions.

On April 1, 2019, a consolidated complaint was filed against the Company and certain former and current officers in the lawsuit styled St. Clair County Employees’ Retirement System v. Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc., et al., Case No. 3:19-cv-00988, which is pending in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. The complaint purports to be brought on behalf of a class consisting of all persons (other than defendants) who purchased securities of the Company between April 30, 2014 and November 15, 2018, and alleges that defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. At this time, we are not able to quantify any potential liability in connection with this litigation because the case is in its early stages.

During the third quarter of 2018, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of West Virginia served subpoenas on seven of our comprehensive treatment centers located in West Virginia requesting various documents from January 2012 to the date of the subpoena. The U.S. Attorney’s Office has advised us that the civil aspect of the investigation is a False Claims Act investigation focused on claims submitted by the centers for certain lab services. We are cooperating fully with the government’s investigation and established a reserve of $19.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2018 relating to our billing for lab services in West Virginia. In connection with the investigation, we expect to enter into a corporate integrity agreement with the Office of Inspector General imposing customary compliance obligations on our subsidiary, CRC Health. At this time, we cannot predict the potential liability, and changes in the reserve may be required in future periods as discussions with the government continue and additional information becomes available.

In the fall of 2017, Office of Inspector General issued subpoenas to three of our facilities requesting certain documents from January 2013 to the date of the subpoenas. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida issued a civil investigative demand to one of our facilities in December 2017 requesting certain documents from November 2012 to the date of the demand. In April 2019, the Office of Inspector General issued subpoenas relating to six additional facilities requesting certain documents and information from January 2013 to the date of the subpoenas. The government’s investigation of each of these facilities is focused on claims not eligible for payment because of alleged violations of certain regulatory requirements relating to, among other things, medical necessity, admission eligibility, discharge decisions, length of stay and patient care issues. We are cooperating with the government’s investigation but are not able to quantify any potential liability in connection with these investigations.
