Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2022

(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.”) and Puerto Rico. At June 30, 2022, the Company operated 239 behavioral healthcare facilities with approximately 10,600 beds in 39 states and Puerto Rico.

On January 19, 2021, the Company completed the sale of its operations in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) to RemedcoUK Limited, a company organized under the laws of England and Wales and owned by funds managed or advised by Waterland Private Equity Fund VII (the “U.K. Sale”). The U.K. Sale allowed the Company to reduce its indebtedness and focus on the Company’s U.S. operations. As a result of the U.K. Sale, the Company reported, for all periods presented, results of operations and cash flows of the U.K. operations as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements. See Note 9 – U.K. Sale.

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 the Company’s 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, 2021 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, 2021 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 1, 2022. 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.

During March 2020, the global pandemic of the novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 (“COVID-19”) began to affect the Company’s facilities, employees, patients, communities, business operations and financial performance, as well as the broader U.S. and U.K. economies and financial markets. At many of the Company’s facilities, employees and/or patients have tested positive for COVID-19. The Company is committed to protecting the health of its communities and continues to respond to the evolving COVID- 19 situation while taking steps to provide quality care and protect the health and safety of patients and employees. Nevertheless, the Company could continue to be impacted by COVID-19 if new strains of the virus cause additional disruptions. The COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and ability to service its indebtedness and may affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements including those related to collectability of accounts receivable as well as professional and general liability reserves, tax assets and liabilities and may result in a potential impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets.

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

2.	Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-10, “Government Assistance (Topic 832)” (“ASU 2021-10”). ASU 2021-10 provides guidance to increase the transparency of government assistance including the disclosure of (1) the types of assistance, (2) an entity’s accounting for the assistance, and (3) the effect of the assistance on an entity’s financial statements. ASU 2021-10 applies to all business entities except for not-for-profit entities within the scope of Topic 958, Not-for-Profit Entities, and employee benefit plans within the scope of Topic 960, Plan Accounting—Defined Benefit Pension Plans, Topic 962, Plan Accounting—Defined Contribution Pension Plans, and Topic 965, Plan

Table of contents

Accounting—Health and Welfare Benefit Plans that account for a transaction with a government by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy to other accounting guidance (for example, a grant model within IAS 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, or Subtopic 958-605, Not-For-Profit Entities—Revenue Recognition). ASU 2021-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of ASU 2021-10 and does not expect a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for or recognizing the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting and applies only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Entities may adopt ASU 2020-04 as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020 or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of ASU 2021-10 and does not expect a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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 the Company’s 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 its patients typically are under no obligation to remain admitted in the Company’s facilities.

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by service type and by payor.

The Company’s facilities and services provided by the facilities can generally be classified into the following categories: acute inpatient psychiatric facilities; specialty treatment facilities; and residential treatment centers.

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.

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

The Company receives payments from the following sources for services rendered in its 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.

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 the Company’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 consolidated statements of operations. Bad debt expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was not significant.

As part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), the U.S. government announced it would offer $100 billion of relief to eligible healthcare providers. On April 24, 2020, then President Trump signed into law the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act (the “PPP Act”). Among other things, the PPP Act allocated $75 billion to eligible healthcare providers to help offset COVID-19 related losses and expenses. The $75 billion allocated under the PPP Act is in addition to the $100 billion allocated to healthcare providers for the same purposes in the CARES Act and has been disbursed to providers under terms and conditions similar to the CARES Act funds.

During 2020, the Company participated in certain relief programs offered through the CARES Act, including receipt of approximately $34.9 million relating to the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund (the “PHSSE Fund”), also known as the Provider Relief Fund. During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company recorded approximately $32.8 million of income from provider relief fund related to PHSSE funds received in 2020.

New Credit Facility

The Company entered into a new senior credit facility (the “New Credit Facility”) on March 17, 2021. This New Credit Facility provides for a $600.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) and a $425.0 million senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility” and, together with the Revolving Facility, the “Senior Facilities”), each maturing on March 17, 2026 unless extended in accordance with the terms of the New Credit Facility. The Revolving Facility further provides for (i) up to $20.0 million to be utilized for the issuance of letters of credit and (ii) the availability of a swingline facility under which the Company may borrow up to $20.0 million.

As a part of the closing of the New Credit Facility on March 17, 2021, the Company (i) refinanced and terminated the Company’s prior credit facilities under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 31, 2012 (the “Prior Credit Facility”) and (ii) financed the redemption of all of the Company’s outstanding 5.625% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “5.625% Senior Notes”).

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company repaid $85.0 million of the balance outstanding on the Revolving Facility. The Company had $511.6 million of availability under the Revolving Facility and had standby letters of credit outstanding of $3.4 million related to security for the payment of claims required by its workers’ compensation insurance program at June 30, 2022.

The New Credit Facility requires quarterly term loan principal repayments for the Term Loan Facility of $5.3 million for September 30, 2022 to March 31, 2024, $8.0 million for June 30, 2024 to March 31, 2025, $10.6 million for June 30, 2025 to December 31, 2025, with the remaining principal balance of the Term Loan Facility due on the maturity date of March 17, 2026.

The Company has the ability to increase the amount of the Senior Facilities, which may take the form of increases to the Revolving Facility or the Term Loan Facility or the issuance of one or more incremental term loan facilities (collectively, the “Incremental Facilities”), upon obtaining additional commitments from new or existing lenders and the satisfaction of customary conditions precedent for such Incremental Facilities. Such Incremental Facilities may not exceed the sum of (i) the greater of $480.0 million and an amount equal to 100% of Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the New Credit Facility) of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the New Credit Facility) (as determined for the four fiscal quarter period most recently ended for which financial statements are available), and (ii) additional amounts so long as, after giving effect thereto, the Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Facility) does not exceed 3.5 to 1.0.

Subject to certain exceptions, substantially all of the Company’s existing and subsequently acquired or organized direct or indirect wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries are required to guarantee the repayment of the Company’s obligations under the New Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Senior Facilities bear interest at a floating rate, which will initially be, at the Company’s option, either (i) adjusted LIBOR plus 1.50% or (ii) an alternative base rate plus 0.50% (in each case, subject to adjustment based on the Company’s consolidated total net leverage ratio). An unused fee initially set at 0.20% per annum (subject to adjustment based on the Company’s consolidated total net leverage ratio) is payable quarterly in arrears based on the actual daily undrawn portion of the commitments in respect of the Revolving Facility.

The New Credit Facility contains customary representations and affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional debt, grant or permit additional liens, make investments and acquisitions, merge or consolidate with others, dispose of assets, pay dividends and distributions, pay junior indebtedness and enter into affiliate transactions, in each case, subject to customary exceptions. In addition, the New Credit Facility contains financial covenants requiring the Company on a consolidated basis to maintain, as of the last day of any consecutive four fiscal quarter period, a consolidated total net leverage ratio of not more than 5.0 to 1.0 and an interest coverage ratio of at least 3.0 to 1.0. The New Credit Facility also includes events of default customary for facilities of this type and upon the occurrence of such events of default, among other things, all outstanding loans under the Senior Facilities may be accelerated and/or the lenders’ commitments terminated. At June 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with such covenants.

Prior 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 the Prior Credit Facility which amended and restated the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The Company amended the Prior Credit Facility from time to time as described in the Company’s prior filings with the SEC.

On January 5, 2021, the Company made a voluntary payment of $105.0 million on the Term Loan B Facility Tranche B-4 (“Tranche B-4 Facility”). On January 19, 2021, the Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the U.K. Sale to repay the outstanding balances of $311.7 million of its TLA Facility and $767.9 million of its Tranche B-4 Facility of the Prior Credit Facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, in connection with the termination of the Prior Credit Facility, the Company recorded a debt extinguishment charge of $10.9 million, including the write-off of discount and deferred financing costs, which was recorded in debt extinguishment costs in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

13.	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 June 30, 2022, the Company operated six facilities through non-wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company owns between 60% and 86% of the equity interests of these entities, and noncontrolling partners own the remaining equity interests. The initial value of the noncontrolling interests is based on the fair value of contributions. The Company consolidates the operations of each facility based on its status as primary beneficiary, as further discussed in Note 14 – Variable Interest Entities. The noncontrolling interests are reflected as redeemable noncontrolling interests on the accompanying 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, 2021	$	65,388
Contributions from noncontrolling partners in joint ventures		8,008
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests		2,926
Distributions to noncontrolling partners in joint ventures		(847	)
Balance at June 30, 2022	$	75,475

14.	Variable Interest Entities

For legal entities where the Company has a financial relationship, the Company evaluates whether it has a variable interest and determines if the entity is considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”). If the Company concludes an entity is a VIE and the Company is the primary beneficiary, the entity is consolidated. The primary beneficiary analysis is a qualitative analysis based on power and benefits. A reporting entity has a controlling financial interest in a VIE and must consolidate the VIE if it has both power and benefits. It must have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that potentially could be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that potentially could be significant to the VIE.

At June 30, 2022, the Company operated six facilities through non-wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company owns between 60% and 86% of the equity interests of these entities, and noncontrolling partners own the remaining equity interests. The Company manages each of these facilities, is responsible for the day to day operations and, therefore, has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. These activities include, but are not limited to, behavioral healthcare services, human resource and employment-related decisions, marketing and finance. The terms of the agreements governing each of the Company’s VIEs prohibit the Company from using the assets of each VIE to satisfy the obligations of other entities. Consolidated assets at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 include total assets of variable interest entities of $364.5 million and $320.6 million, respectively, which cannot be used to settle the obligations of other entities. Consolidated liabilities at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 include total liabilities of variable interest entities of $24.2 million and $24.1 million, respectively.

15.	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 June 30, 2022, a maximum of 12,700,000 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 3,110,264 were available for future grant. Stock options may be granted for terms of up to 10 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 $6.6 million and $9.0 million in equity-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and $14.5 million and $16.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. At June 30, 2022, there was $71.2 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 1.5 years.

The Company recognized a deferred income tax benefit of $1.9 million and $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, related to equity-based compensation expense. The Company recognized a deferred income tax benefit of $3.9 million and $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Options exercisable at June 30, 2022		387,978		$	42.30		5.97	$	8,453

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 six months ended June 30, 2022 and year ended December 31, 2021:

	June 30, 2022			December 31, 2021
Weighted average grant-date fair value of options	$	19.77		$	20.64
Risk-free interest rate		1.9	%		0.9	%
Expected volatility		39	%		40	%
Expected life (in years)		5.0			5.0

The Company’s estimate of expected volatility for stock options is based upon the volatility of its 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.

Other Stock-Based Awards

Restricted stock activity during 2021 and 2022 was as follows:

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. In addition to Company performance, these performance-based restricted stock units are subject to the continuing service of the employee during the 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. 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.

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.

16.	Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 reflects effective tax rates of 25.3% and 29.7%, and 23.9% and 27.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to impacts of employee equity compensation awards and legal entity restructuring.

As the Company continues to monitor the implications of potential tax legislation in each of its jurisdictions, the Company may adjust its estimates and record additional amounts for tax assets and liabilities. Any adjustments to the Company’s tax assets and liabilities could materially impact its provision for income taxes and its effective tax rate in the periods in which they are made.

17.	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.

The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s New Credit Facility, 5.500% Senior Notes and 5.000% Senior Notes at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were as follows (in thousands):

	Carrying Amount				Fair Value

5.000% Senior Notes due 2029	$	469,254	$	468,907	$	425,144	$	481,802

Table of contents

The Company’s New Credit Facility, 5.500% Senior Notes and 5.000% Senior Notes were categorized as Level 2 in the GAAP fair value hierarchy. Fair values were based on trading activity among the Company’s lenders and the average bid and ask price as determined using published rates.

18.	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 $10.0 million 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 $60.0 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, the Company is 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 May 23, 2019, a purported stockholder filed a second related derivative action on behalf of the Company against certain former and current officers and directors in the lawsuit styled Beard v. Jacobs, et al., Case No. 3:19-cv-0441, which is pending the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. The complaint alleges claims for violations of Sections 10(b), 14(a), and 21D of the Exchange Act, breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, unjust enrichment, and insider selling. On June 11, 2019, the Davydov and Beard actions were consolidated. On February 16, 2021, the parties filed a stipulation staying the case. On October 23, 2020, a purported stockholder filed a third related derivative action on behalf of the Company against former and current officers and directors in the lawsuit styled Pfenning v. Jacobs, et al., Case No. 2020-0915-JRS, which is pending in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The complaint alleges claims for breach of fiduciary duty. On February 17, 2021, the court entered an order staying the case. At this time, the Company is not able to quantify any potential liability in connection with this litigation because the cases are in their early stages.

In the fall of 2017, the Office of Inspector General (“OIG”) 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 OIG 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.

19.	Derivatives

The Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts during the year ended December 31, 2020 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 USD and GBP associated with cash transfers.

In August 2019, the Company also 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 £538.1 million. During the term of the swap agreements, the Company received semi-annual interest payments in USD from the counterparties at fixed interest rates, and the Company made semi-annual interest payments in GBP to the counterparties at fixed interest rates. The interest payments under the cross-currency swap agreements resulted in £25.4 million of annual cash flows from the Company’s U.K. business being converted to $35.8 million.

In conjunction with the U.K. Sale in January 2021, the Company settled its cross currency swap liability and outstanding forward contracts as shown in investing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

20.	Financial Information for the Company and Its Subsidiaries

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 June 30, 2022, we operated 239 behavioral healthcare facilities with approximately 10,600 beds in 39 states and Puerto Rico. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we added 78 beds to existing facilities and opened two comprehensive treatment centers (“CTCs”). For the year ending December 31, 2022, we expect to add approximately 300 beds to existing facilities and expect to open one wholly-owned facility, two joint venture facilities and at least six CTCs.

We are the leading publicly traded pure-play provider of behavioral healthcare services in the United States. 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. through acquisitions, wholly-owned de novo facilities, joint ventures and bed additions in existing facilities.

On January 19, 2021, we completed the U.K. Sale pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement in which we sold all of the securities of AHC-WW Jersey Limited, a private limited liability company incorporated in Jersey and a subsidiary of the Company, which constituted the entirety of our U.K. business operations. The U.K. Sale resulted in approximately $1,525 million of gross proceeds before deducting the settlement of existing foreign currency hedging liabilities of $85 million based on the current GBP to USD exchange rate, cash retained by the buyer and transaction costs. We used the net proceeds of approximately $1,425 million (excluding cash retained by the buyer) along with cash from the balance sheet to reduce debt by $1,640 million during the first quarter of 2021. As a result of the U.K. Sale, we reported, for all periods presented, results of operations and cash flows of the U.K. operations as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements.

COVID-19

During March 2020, the global pandemic of COVID-19 began to affect our facilities, employees, patients, communities, business operations and financial performance, as well as the broader U.S. and U.K. economies and financial markets. At many of our facilities, employees and/or patients have tested positive for COVID-19. We are committed to protecting the health of our communities and have been responding to the evolving COVID-19 situation while taking steps to provide quality care and protect the health and safety of our patients and employees. Over the last two years, all of our facilities have closely followed infectious disease protocols, as well as recommendations by the CDC and local health officials.

We have taken numerous steps to help minimize the impact of the virus on our patients and employees. For example, we:

•

established an internal COVID-19 taskforce;

•

instituted social distancing practices and protective measures throughout our facilities, which included restricting or suspending visitor access, screening patients and staff who enter our facilities based on criteria established by the CDC and local health officials, and testing and isolating patients when warranted;

•

implemented plans to vaccinate all eligible employees at our facilities that participate in CMS reimbursement programs;

•

secured contracts with additional distributors for supplies;

•

expanded telehealth capabilities;

•

implemented emergency planning in directly impacted markets; and

•

limited all non-essential business travel and suspended in-person trainings and conferences.

We have developed additional supply chain management processes, which includes extensive tracking and delivery of key personal protective equipment (“PPE”) and supplies and sharing resources across all facilities. We could experience supply chain disruptions and significant price increases in equipment, pharmaceuticals and medical supplies, particularly PPE. Pandemic-related staffing difficulties and equipment, pharmaceutical and medical supplies shortages may impact our ability to treat patients at our facilities. Such shortages could lead to us paying higher prices for supplies, equipment and labor and an increase in overtime hours paid to our employees.

CARES Act and Other Regulatory Developments

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law. The CARES Act is intended to provide over $2 trillion in stimulus benefits for the U.S. economy. Among other things, the CARES Act includes additional support for small businesses, expands unemployment benefits, makes forgivable loans available to small businesses, provides for certain federal income tax changes, and provides $500 billion for loans, loan guarantees, and other investments for or in U.S. businesses.

In addition, the CARES Act contains a number of provisions that are intended to assist healthcare providers as they combat the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Those provisions include, among others:

•

an appropriation to the PHSSE Fund to reimburse, through grants or other mechanisms, eligible healthcare providers and other approved entities for COVID-19-related expenses or lost revenue;

•

the expansion of CMS’ Accelerated and Advance Payment Program;

•

the temporary suspension of Medicare sequestration; and

•

waivers or temporary suspension of certain regulatory requirements.

The U.S. government initially announced it would offer $100 billion of relief to eligible healthcare providers through the PHSSE Fund. On April 24, 2020, then President Trump signed into law the PPP Act. Among other things, the PPP Act allocated $75 billion to eligible healthcare providers to help offset COVID-19 related losses and expenses. The $75 billion allocated under the PPP Act is in addition to the $100 billion allocated to healthcare providers for the same purposes in the CARES Act and has been disbursed to providers under terms and conditions similar to the CARES Act funds. In 2020, we received approximately $34.9 million of the funds distributed from the PHSSE Fund. During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company recorded approximately $32.8 million of income from provider relief fund related to PHSSE funds received in 2020.

In 2021, we received $24.2 million of additional funds from the PHSSE Fund. During the fourth quarter of 2021, we recorded $17.9 million of income from provider relief fund related to the PHSSE funds received. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we received $7.7 million of additional funds from the PHSSE Fund and $14.2 million from the ARP Rural Payments for Hospitals. During the second quarter of 2022, we recorded $8.6 million of income from provider relief fund related to PHSSE funds received. We continue to evaluate our compliance with the terms and conditions to, and the financial impact of, these additional funds received.

Using existing authority and certain expanded authority under the CARES Act, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (“HHS”) expanded CMS’ Accelerated and Advance Payment Program to a broader group of Medicare Part A and Part B providers for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. Under the program, certain of our facilities were eligible to request up to 100% of their Medicare payment amount for a three-month period. Under the original terms of the program, the repayment of these accelerated/advanced payments would have begun 120 days after the date of the issuance of the payment and the amounts advanced to our facilities would have been recouped from new Medicare claims as a 100% offset. Our facilities would have had 210 days from the date the accelerated or advance payment was made to repay the amounts that they owe.

On October 1, 2020, Congress amended the terms of the Accelerated and Advance Payment Program to extend the term of the loan and adjust the repayment process. Under the new terms of the program, all providers will have 29 months from the date of their first program payment to repay the full amount of the accelerated or advance payments they have received. The revised terms extend the period before repayment begins from 210 days to one year from the date that payment under the program was received. Once the repayment period begins, the offset is limited to 25% of new claims during the first 11 months of repayment and 50% of new claims during the final 6 months. The revised program terms also lower the interest rate on outstanding amounts due at the end of the repayment period from 10% to 4%. We applied for and received approximately $45 million in 2020 from this program. Of the $45 million of advance payments received in 2020, we repaid approximately $25 million of advance payments during 2021 and made additional repayments of approximately $7 million and $15 million, respectively, during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022. We will continue to repay the remaining balance throughout the rest of 2022.

Under the CARES Act, we also received a 2% increase in our facilities’ Medicare reimbursement rate as a result of the temporary suspension of Medicare sequestration from May 1, 2020 to March 31, 2022, which was reduced to 1% on April 1, 2022 and was eliminated effective July 1, 2022.

The CARES Act also provides for certain federal income and other tax changes. We received a cash benefit of approximately $39 million for 2020 relating to the delay of payment of the employer portion of Social Security payroll taxes. We repaid half of the $39 million of payroll tax deferrals during the third quarter of 2021 and expect to repay the remaining portion in the second half of 2022.

In addition to the financial and other relief that has been provided by the federal government through the CARES Act and other legislation passed by Congress, CMS and many state governments have also issued waivers and temporary suspensions of healthcare facility licensure, certification, and reimbursement requirements in order to provide hospitals, physicians, and other healthcare providers with increased flexibility to meet the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, CMS and many state governments have temporarily eased regulatory requirements and burdens for delivering and being reimbursed for healthcare services provided remotely through telemedicine. CMS has also temporarily waived many provisions of the Stark law, including many of the provisions affecting our relationships with physicians. Many states have also suspended the enforcement of certain regulatory requirements to ensure that healthcare providers have sufficient capacity to treat COVID-19 patients. These regulatory changes are temporary, with most slated to expire at the end of the declared COVID-19 public health emergency.

We are continuing to evaluate the terms and conditions and financial impact of funds received under the CARES Act and other government relief programs.

At June 30, 2022, we operated 239 behavioral healthcare facilities with approximately 10,600 beds in 39 states and Puerto Rico. For all periods presented, results of operations and cash flows of the U.K. operations are reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements.

We are encouraged by the favorable trends in our business and believe we are well positioned to capitalize on the expected growth in demand for behavioral health services. As with many other healthcare providers and other industries across the country, we are currently dealing with a tight labor market. However, we believe the diversity of our markets and service lines and our proactive focus helps us manage through this environment. We remain focused on ensuring that we have the level of staff to meet the demand in our markets.

Table of contents

The following table sets forth percent changes in same facility operating data for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021:

	Three Months Ended	Six Months Ended
U.S. Same Facility Results (a)
Revenue growth	8.5%	8.5%
Patient days growth	0.7%	1.4%
Admissions growth	-4.5%	-3.6%
Average length of stay change (b)	5.4%	5.2%
Revenue per patient day growth	7.8%	7.0%
Adjusted EBITDA margin change (c)	270 bps	210 bps
Adjusted EBITDA margin excluding income from provider relief fund (d)	130 bps	140 bps

(a)

Results for the periods 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)

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income before provision for income taxes, equity-based compensation expense, debt extinguishment costs, loss on impairment, transaction-related expenses, interest expense and depreciation and amortization. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as an analytical indicator to measure performance and to develop strategic objectives and operating plans. Adjusted 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. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

(d)

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, excludes income from provider relief fund of $8.6 million.

Three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash provided by continuing operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $226.0 million compared to $166.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Operating cash flows included net government relief funds of approximately $(1.2) million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to net government relief funds of approximately $16.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Operating cash flows were impacted by an increase in earnings, a reduction in cash paid for interest and an increase in tax payments during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Days sales outstanding were 42 days at both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $135.8 million compared to cash provided by investing activities of $1,317.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily consisted of $132.4 million of cash paid for capital expenditures and $5.0 million of other, offset by $1.7 million of proceeds from sales of property and equipment. Cash paid for capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2022 consisted of $32.2 million of routine capital expenditures and $100.2 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 approximately 3% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily consisted of $1,511.0 million of proceeds from the U.K. Sale, $3.2 million of other and $0.9 million of proceeds from the sale of property and equipment, offset by $84.8 million for settlement of foreign currency derivatives and $113.0 million of cash paid for capital expenditures. Cash paid for capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2021 consisted of $18.0 million of routine capital expenditures and $95.0 million of expansion capital expenditures.

Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $95.6 million compared to $1,681.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 consisted of principal payments on revolving credit facility of $85.0 million, repurchase of shares for payroll tax withholding, net of proceeds from stock option exercises of $9.9 million, principal payments on long-term debt of $8.0 million and distributions to noncontrolling partners in joint ventures of $0.8 million, offset by $8.0 million of contributions from noncontrolling partners in joint ventures. Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily consisted of repayment of long-term debt of $2,227.9 million, principal payments on revolving credit facility of $305.0 million, payment of debt issuance costs of $8.0 million, other of $6.9 million and $0.6 million of distributions to noncontrolling partners in joint ventures, offset by borrowings on long-term debt of $425.0 million, borrowings on revolving credit facility of $430.0 million, repurchase of shares for payroll tax withholding, net of proceeds from stock option exercises of $13.3 million and $1.8 million of contributions from noncontrolling partners in joint ventures.

We had total available cash and cash equivalents of $128.4 million and $133.8 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, of which approximately $25.0 million and $20.1 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.

We believe existing cash on hand, cash flows from operations, the availability under our revolving line of credit and cash from additional financing will be sufficient to meet our expected liquidity needs during the next 12 months.

New Credit Facility

We entered into a New Credit Facility on March 17, 2021. The New Credit Facility provides for a $600.0 million Revolving Facility and a $425.0 million Term Loan Facility with each maturing on March 17, 2026 unless extended in accordance with the terms of the New Credit Facility. The Revolving Facility further provides for (i) up to $20.0 million to be utilized for the issuance of letters of credit and (ii) the availability of a swingline facility under which we may borrow up to $20.0 million.

As a part of the closing of the New Credit Facility on March 17, 2021, we (i) refinanced and terminated our Prior Credit Facility and (ii) financed the redemption of all of our outstanding 5.625% Senior Notes.

Table of contents

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we repaid $85.0 million of the balance outstanding on the Revolving Facility. We had $511.6 million of availability under the Revolving Facility and had standby letters of credit outstanding of $3.4 million related to security for the payment of claims required by our workers’ compensation insurance program at June 30, 2022.

The New Credit Facility requires quarterly term loan principal repayments for our Term Loan Facility of $5.3 million for September 30, 2022 to March 31, 2024, $8.0 million for June 30, 2024 to March 31, 2025, $10.6 million for June 30, 2025 to December 31, 2025, with the remaining principal balance of the Term Loan Facility due on the maturity date of March 17, 2026.

We have the ability to increase the amount of the Senior Facilities, which may take the form of increases to the Revolving Facility or the Term Loan Facility or the issuance of one or more Incremental Facilities, upon obtaining additional commitments from new or existing lenders and the satisfaction of customary conditions precedent for such Incremental Facilities. Such Incremental Facilities may not exceed the sum of (i) the greater of $480.0 million and an amount equal to 100% of our Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the New Credit Facility) and its Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the New Credit Facility) (as determined for the four fiscal quarter period most recently ended for which financial statements are available), and (ii) additional amounts so long as, after giving effect thereto, the Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Facility) does not exceed 3.5 to 1.0.

Subject to certain exceptions, substantially all of our existing and subsequently acquired or organized direct or indirect wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries are required to guarantee the repayment of its obligations under the New Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Senior Facilities bear interest at a floating rate, which will initially be, at our option, either (i) adjusted LIBOR plus 1.50% or (ii) an alternative base rate plus 0.50% (in each case, subject to adjustment based on our consolidated total net leverage ratio). An unused fee initially set at 0.20% per annum (subject to adjustment based on our consolidated total net leverage ratio) is payable quarterly in arrears based on the actual daily undrawn portion of the commitments in respect of the Revolving Facility.

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

Pricing Tier	Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio	Eurodollar Rate Loans and Letter of Credit Fees			Base Rate and Swing Line Loans			Commitment Fee
1	≥ 4.50:1.0		2.250	%		1.250	%		0.350	%
2	<4.50:1.0 but ≥ 3.75:1.0		2.000	%		1.000	%		0.300	%
3	<3.75:1.0 but ≥ 3.00:1.0		1.750	%		0.750	%		0.250	%
4	<3.00:1.0 but ≥ 2.25:1.0		1.500	%		0.500	%		0.200	%
5	<2.25:1.0		1.375	%		0.375	%		0.200	%

The New Credit Facility contains customary representations and affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional debt, grant or permit additional liens, make investments and acquisitions, merge or consolidate with others, dispose of assets, pay dividends and distributions, pay junior indebtedness and enter into affiliate transactions, in each case, subject to customary exceptions. In addition, the New Credit Facility contains financial covenants requiring us on a consolidated basis to maintain, as of the last day of any consecutive four fiscal quarter period, a consolidated total net leverage ratio of not more than 5.0 to 1.0 and an interest coverage ratio of at least 3.0 to 1.0. The New Credit Facility also includes events of default customary for facilities of this type and upon the occurrence of such events of default, among other things, all outstanding loans under the Senior Facilities may be accelerated and/or the lenders’ commitments terminated. At June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with such covenants.

Prior Credit Facility

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

On January 5, 2021, we made a voluntary payment of $105.0 million on the Tranche B-4 Facility. On January 19, 2021, we used a portion of the net proceeds from the U.K. Sale to repay the outstanding balances of $311.7 million of our TLA Facility and $767.9 million of our Tranche B-4 Facility of the Prior Credit Facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, in connection with the termination of the Prior Credit Facility, we recorded a debt extinguishment charge of $10.9 million, including the write-off of discount and deferred financing costs, which was recorded in debt extinguishment costs in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

In connection with the 5.000% Senior Notes, we recorded a debt extinguishment charge of $2.9 million, including the write-off of discount and deferred financing costs of the Tranche B-3 Facility, which was recorded in debt extinguishment costs in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The indentures governing the Senior Notes contain covenants that, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to: (i) pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions or investments; (ii) incur additional debt or issue certain preferred stock; (iii) transfer or sell assets; (iv) engage in certain transactions with affiliates; (v) create restrictions on dividends or other payments by the restricted subsidiaries; (vi) merge, consolidate or sell substantially all of our assets; and (vii) create liens on assets.

Contractual Obligations

The following table presents a summary of contractual obligations at June 30, 2022 (in thousands):

	Payments Due by Period
	Less Than 1 Year		1-3 Years		3-5 Years		More Than 5 Years		Total
Long-term debt (a)	$	85,773	$	185,580	$	594,806	$	997,250	$	1,863,409
Operating lease liabilities (b)		31,420		52,245		33,883		67,113		184,661
Finance lease liabilities		990		2,046		2,178		22,366		27,580
Total obligations and commitments	$	118,183	$	239,871	$	630,867	$	1,086,729	$	2,075,650

(a)	Amounts include required principal and interest payments. The projected interest payments reflect the interest rates in place on our variable-rate debt at June 30, 2022.

(b)	Amounts exclude variable components of lease payments.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, which consist of licenses and accreditations, trade names and certificates of need intangible assets that are not amortized, are evaluated for impairment annually during the fourth quarter or more frequently if events indicate the carrying value of a reporting unit may not be recoverable.

Subsequent to the U.K. Sale, as of our impairment test on October 1, 2021, we had one reporting unit, behavioral health services. The fair value of our behavioral health services reporting unit substantially exceeded its carrying value, and therefore no impairment was recorded.

There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies at June 30, 2022 from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

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 June 30, 2022 was composed of $913.5 million of fixed-rate debt and $491.8 million of variable-rate debt with interest based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin. Based on our borrowing level at June 30, 2022, a hypothetical 1% increase in interest rates would decrease our pretax income on an annual basis by approximately $5 million.

Item 4.

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

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2022 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
