Hanger Reports First Quarter 2018 Results


AUSTIN, Texas, June 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Hanger, Inc. (OTC PINK: HNGR), a leading provider of orthotic and prosthetic patient care services and solutions, today announced the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2018 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company is now current with its periodic filings.

The Company intends to commence the process of relisting on a national securities exchange during the third quarter of 2018. As disclosed in the recent investor conference call held on May 15th, the Company does not plan to host a conference call regarding first quarter 2018 results. 

Vinit Asar, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hanger, Inc., stated, "Our first quarter results were in-line with the preliminary expectations that we provided in May. Adjusted EBITDA growth outpaced revenue increases, as we benefited from lower operating expenses compared to the year-ago period."

Mr. Asar continued, "We are pleased to report a continuation of the Patient Care growth trends we re-established during 2017. We've achieved a good start to 2018 and anticipate a solid performance for the year."

Financial Highlights for the First Quarter of 2018

Complete reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures are provided in the tables located at the end of this press release.

Detailed Results: Three Months Ended March 31, 2018

Patient Care Segment

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company's Patient Care net revenue totaled $188.5 million, an increase of $0.9 million compared to the same period of 2017. The net revenue growth was primarily the result of higher same clinic revenue growth in the first quarter of 2018.

Income from operations in the Patient Care segment was $17.1 million during the first quarter of 2018, which reflected an increase of $2.6 million, or 17.5 percent, over the $14.5 million reported in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA for the segment was $23.0 million, which reflected a $2.2 million, or 10.5 percent increase over the prior year period.

Products & Services Segment

For the first three months of 2018, the Company's Products & Services net revenue totaled $45.5 million, a $0.6 million decrease compared to the same period of 2017, which was a decline of 1.2 percent. The revenue decline was due to a $1.3 million decrease in revenue for therapeutic solutions, which are services primarily provided to the post-acute market within skilled nursing facilities.

Income from operations for the Products & Services segment declined by $0.2 million to $5.9 million in the first three months of 2018. Adjusted EBITDA for the Products & Services segment was $8.7 million during the first quarter of 2018, which reflected a $0.3 million decline as compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $9.0 million in the same period of 2017.

Net Loss; Interest Expense

For the first three months of 2018, net loss was $22.6 million compared with a net loss of $17.7 million in the same period of 2017.

Interest expense for the first quarter of 2018 declined to $12.3 million from $14.0 million in the same period of 2017. This $1.7 million decrease resulted from a partial quarter of lower interest expense associated with the Company's debt refinancing in March 2018. 

Liquidity

On March 31, 2018, the Company had liquidity of $127.0 million, comprised of $32.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, and $94.1 million in available borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility, compared to liquidity of $87.9 million on December 31, 2017, comprised of $1.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, and $86.4 million in available borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility. The increase in liquidity from year-end 2017 resulted from the refinancing of the Company's outstanding debt with a new, $605 million Senior Credit Facility, completed on March 6, 2018.

2018 Outlook

As previously disclosed on May 14th, for the full year 2018, the Company anticipates net revenue and Adjusted EBITDA to be generally consistent with actual 2017 results. Although the Company's Adjusted EBITDA for the period ended March 31, 2018 reflected an increase over the comparable period in 2017, the Company believes this to be primarily related to the favorable timing of its expenses in that period.  All amounts relating to the full year 2018 are subject to material change as the Company continues to evaluate its expectations for annual results.

Segment Information: Revenue, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

(dollars in thousands)


EBITDA is defined as operating income before depreciation and amortization.  Adjusted EBITDA is defined as operating income before certain charges, impairments of intangible assets, third-party professional fees in excess of normal amounts incurred in connection with our financial statement remediation, debt extinguishment costs, expenses associated with equity-based compensation, severance expenses associated with significant reductions in force and expenses incurred in connection with our acquisitions.


We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as measures to assess the relative level of our indebtedness and our compliance with certain debt covenants which are based on these measures.   Additionally, we utilize these measures to assess our operating and financial performance.   We believe that these measures enhance a user's understanding of normal operating income excluding certain charges, depreciation and amortization. 


Neither EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA are measures of financial performance computed in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") and should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for operating income, net income, cash flows from operations, or other statement of operations or cash flow data prepared in conformity with GAAP, or as a measure of profitability or liquidity.  In addition, the calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is susceptible to varying interpretations and calculations, and the amounts presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.  EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be indicative of historical operating results, and we do not intend these measures to be predictive of future results of operations.

 Reconciliation of net loss and loss per share to 

 adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share 

 (dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts) 


Earnings Per Share (or "EPS") is defined as net income divided by our diluted common shares during the applicable period.   Adjusted EPS is defined as EPS adjusted for impairments of intangible assets, third-party professional fees in excess of normal amounts incurred in connection with our financial statement remediation, debt extinguishment costs, severance expenses associated with significant reductions in force and expenses incurred in connection with our acquisitions and certain other charges. 


We utilize Adjusted EPS to assess our operating and financial performance.   We believe that this measure enhances a user's understanding of normal operating results excluding certain charges.


Adjusted EPS is not a measure of financial performance computed in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for operating income, net income, cash flows from operations, or other statement of operations or cash flow data prepared in conformity with GAAP, or as a measure of profitability or liquidity.  In addition, the calculation of Adjusted EPS is susceptible to varying interpretations and calculations, and the amounts presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.  Adjusted EPS may not be indicative of historical operating results, and we do not intend these measures to be predictive of future results of operations.
