KENNETT SQUARE, Pa., Nov. 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Genesis Healthcare, Inc. (Genesis, or the Company) (NYSE:GEN), one of the largest post-acute care providers in the United States, today announced operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018.
Third Quarter 2018 Results
- US GAAP revenue in the third quarter of 2018 was $1.22 billion compared to $1.32 billion in the third quarter of 2017;
- US GAAP net loss attributable to Genesis Healthcare, Inc. in the third quarter of 2018 was $58.1 million compared to $373.8 million in the third quarter of 2017; and
- Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2018 was $113.5 million compared to $109.1 million in the third quarter of 2017.
“We are very pleased to report solid results for the third consecutive quarter, as we continued to build on our first half momentum,” noted George V. Hager, Jr., Chief Executive Officer of Genesis. “Adjusted EBITDAR on a same store basis in the third quarter of 2018 grew 2.6% from the third quarter of 2017, marking the first time we will report same store Adjusted EBITDAR growth since 2015. Third quarter 2018 Adjusted EBITDAR less cash lease payments also beat FactSet consensus estimates for the third consecutive quarter and more importantly showed year-over-year growth of $16.2 million or 68%.”
“Focused efforts and execution to reduce our cost of service and overhead structure across both our skilled nursing and rehabilitation services business segments along with the divestiture of underperforming facilities continues to produce value resulting in over 50 basis points of Adjusted EBITDAR margin expansion in the third quarter of 2018 as compared to the same period last year,” continued Hager.
Portfolio Optimization
Genesis continues to progress with its strategy to exit challenging facilities and certain low density markets in order to focus on investment and growth in core, strategic markets. During the third quarter, Genesis divested, exited or closed the operations of seven facilities. Including the facilities divested in the first half of 2018, Genesis exited the operations of a total of 26 facilities since the start of the year, with approximate annual net revenue of $266.4 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $0.2 million and a pre-tax net loss of $35.7 million. Genesis estimates these transactions resulted in the reduction of approximately $20.5 million of annual cash lease payments.
Genesis expects it will continue to exit the operations of challenging facilities and markets in the fourth quarter of 2018. The Company expects to exit the operations of an additional 29 facilities by the end of the year. In total, these 29 facilities generated approximate annual net revenue of $212.3 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $7.8 million and a pre-tax net loss of $3.2 million. These divestitures will result in nearly $100 million of debt repayment and the reduction of $0.3 million of annual cash lease payments.
Portfolio Expansion
The Company is excited to report expansion of the services it provides to patients and residents in the following core, strategic markets.
- On November 1, 2018, Genesis acquired the operations of eight skilled nursing facilities and one assisted living facility in New Mexico and Arizona, increasing our presence in markets we view as favorable. The nine new facilities have approximately 1,000 beds and generate approximate annual net revenue of $60 million. The facilities are leased from one of the Company’s major REIT partners. Genesis expects no material impact to EBITDA in the next 12 months.
- In August 2018, Genesis opened its 10th stand-alone PowerBack Rehabilitation location in a new 120-bed state-of-the-art rehabilitation facility in Exton, PA. PowerBack Rehabilitation offers 100% all short stay rehabilitation so patients can return home as soon as possible.
Other Updates – Adoption and Impact of Revenue Recognition Accounting Standard
On January 1, 2018, Genesis adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606). Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The impact of applying ASC 606 to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was a $20.6 million and $67.4 million implicit price concession, respectively, directly reducing net revenues, which previously would have been recorded as a provision for losses on accounts receivable.
If the provisions of ASC 606 were applied on a pro forma basis to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, reported net revenue would have been $1,290.3 million and $3,973.2 million, respectively, with no impact to net loss attributed to Genesis Healthcare, Inc.

- revenue we receive from Medicare and Medicaid being subject to potential retroactive reduction;
- our success being dependent upon retaining key executives and personnel;

If we are not operating in compliance with these laws and regulations or if these laws and regulations change, we could be required to make significant expenditures or change our operations in order to bring our facilities and operations into compliance;

- we may be unable to reduce costs to offset decreases in our patient census levels or other expenses timely and completely;
- completed and future acquisitions may consume significant resources, may be unsuccessful and could expose us to unforeseen liabilities and integration risks;
- we lease a significant number of our facilities and may experience risks relating to lease termination, lease expense escalators, lease extensions, special charges and leases that are not economically efficient in the current business environment;
- our substantial indebtedness, scheduled maturities and disruptions in the financial markets could affect our ability to obtain financing or to extend or refinance debt as it matures, which could negatively impact our results of operations, liquidity, financial condition and the market price of our common stock;
- exposure to the credit and non-payment risk of our contracted customer relationships, including as a result from bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization or insolvency, especially during times of systemic industry pressures, economic conditions, regulatory uncertainty and tight credit markets, which could result in material losses; and
- some of our directors are significant stockholders or representatives of significant stockholders, which may present issues regarding diversion of corporate opportunities and other potential conflicts.

Reasons for Non-GAAP Financial Disclosure
The following discussion includes references to Adjusted EBITDAR, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures (collectively, Non-GAAP Financial Measures). A Non-GAAP Financial Measure is a numerical measure of a registrant’s historical or future financial performance, financial position and cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statement of operations, balance sheet or statement of cash flows (or equivalent statements) of the registrant; or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable financial measure so calculated and presented. In this regard, GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. We have provided reconciliations of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
We believe the presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because these financial measures are useful for trending, analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. By excluding certain expenses and other items that may not be indicative of our core business operating results, these Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
- allow investors to evaluate our performance from management’s perspective, resulting in greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by us in our financial and operational decision making;
- facilitate comparisons with prior periods and reflect the principal basis on which management monitors financial performance;
- facilitate comparisons with the performance of others in the post-acute industry;
- provide better transparency as to the measures used by management and others who follow our industry to estimate the value of our company; and
- allow investors to view our financial performance and condition in the same manner as our significant landlords and lenders require us to report financial information to them in connection with determining our compliance with financial covenants.
We use Non-GAAP Financial Measures primarily as performance measures and believe that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to them is net income (loss) attributable to Genesis Healthcare, Inc. We use Non-GAAP Financial Measures to assess the value of our business and the performance of our operating businesses, as well as the employees responsible for operating such businesses. Non-GAAP Financial Measures are useful in this regard because they do not include such costs as interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense which may vary from business unit to business unit depending upon such factors as the method used to finance the original purchase of the business unit or the tax law in the state in which a business unit operates. By excluding such factors when measuring financial performance, many of which are outside of the control of the employees responsible for operating our business units, we are better able to evaluate value and the operating performance of the business unit and the employees responsible for business unit performance. Consequently, we use these Non-GAAP Financial Measures to determine the extent to which our employees have met performance goals, and therefore the extent to which they may or may not be eligible for incentive compensation awards.
We also use Non-GAAP Financial Measures in our annual budget process. We believe these Non-GAAP Financial Measures facilitate internal comparisons to historical operating performance of prior periods and external comparisons to competitors’ historical operating performance. The presentation of these Non-GAAP Financial Measures is consistent with our past practice and we believe these measures further enable investors and analysts to compare current non-GAAP measures with non-GAAP measures presented in prior periods.
Although we use Non-GAAP Financial Measures as financial measures to assess value and the performance of our business, the use of these Non-GAAP Financial Measures is limited because they do not consider certain material costs necessary to operate the business. These costs include our lease expense (only in the case of Adjusted EBITDAR), the cost to service debt, the depreciation and amortization associated with our long-lived assets, losses on early extinguishment of debt, transaction costs, long-lived asset impairment charges, federal and state income tax expenses, the operating results of our discontinued businesses and the income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests. Because Non-GAAP Financial Measures do not consider these important elements of our cost structure, a user of our financial information who relies on Non-GAAP Financial Measures as the only measures of our performance could draw an incomplete or misleading conclusion regarding our financial performance. Consequently, a user of our financial information should consider net loss attributable to Genesis Healthcare, Inc. as an important measure of its financial performance because it provides the most complete measure of our performance.
Other companies may define Non-GAAP Financial Measures differently and, as a result, our Non-GAAP Financial Measures may not be directly comparable to those of other companies. Non-GAAP Financial Measures do not represent net income (loss), as defined by GAAP. Non-GAAP Financial Measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP Financial Measures.
We use the following Non-GAAP Financial Measures that we believe are useful to investors as key valuation and operating performance measures:
EBITDA
We believe EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because it helps investors evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (interest expense) and our asset base (depreciation and amortization expense) from our operating results. In addition, financial covenants in our debt agreements use EBITDA as a measure of compliance.
Adjustments to EBITDA
We adjust EBITDA when evaluating our performance because we believe that the exclusion of certain additional items described below provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our ongoing operating performance, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, when combined with GAAP net loss attributable to Genesis Healthcare, Inc., and EBITDA, is beneficial to an investor’s complete understanding of our operating performance. In addition, such adjustments are substantially similar to the adjustments to EBITDA provided for in the financial covenant calculations contained in our lease and debt agreements.
We adjust EBITDA for the following items:
- Loss on early extinguishment of debt. We recognize gains or losses on the early extinguishment of debt when we refinance our debt prior to its original term, requiring us to write-off any unamortized deferred financing fees. We exclude the effect of gains or losses recorded on the early extinguishment of debt because we believe these gains and losses do not accurately reflect the underlying performance of our operating businesses.
- Other (income) loss. We primarily use this income statement caption to capture gains and losses on the sale or disposition of assets. We exclude the effect of such gains and losses because we believe they do not accurately reflect the underlying performance of our operating businesses.
- Transaction costs. In connection with our acquisition and disposition transactions, we incur costs consisting of investment banking, legal, transaction-based compensation and other professional service costs. We exclude acquisition and disposition related transaction costs expensed during the period because we believe these costs do not reflect the underlying performance of our operating businesses.
- Customer receivership and other related charges. We excluded the non-cash costs related to $35.6 million of charges recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 related to customer receivership proceedings and the related respective write-down of unpaid accounts receivable. We believe these charges are caused by the challenging operating environment, particularly for highly levered customers of our rehabilitation therapy business. Accordingly, we believe these costs do not accurately reflect the underlying performance of our operating businesses.
- Long-lived asset impairments. We exclude non-cash long-lived asset impairment charges because we believe including them does not reflect the ongoing performance of our operating businesses. Additionally, such impairment charges represent accelerated depreciation expense, and depreciation expense is also excluded from EBITDA.
- Goodwill and identifiable intangible asset impairments. We exclude non-cash goodwill and identifiable intangible asset impairment charges because we believe including them does not reflect the ongoing operating performance of our operating businesses.
- Severance and restructuring. We exclude severance costs from planned reduction in force initiatives associated with restructuring activities intended to adjust our cost structure in response to changes in the business environment. We believe these costs do not reflect the underlying performance of our operating businesses. We do not exclude severance costs that are not associated with such restructuring activities.
- (Income) losses of newly acquired, constructed or divested businesses. The acquisition and construction of new businesses is an element of our growth strategy. Many of the businesses we acquire have a history of operating losses and continue to generate operating losses in the months that follow our acquisition. Newly constructed or developed businesses also generate losses while in their start-up phase. We view these losses as both temporary and an expected component of our long-term investment in the new venture. We adjust these losses when computing Adjusted EBITDA in order to better analyze the performance of our mature ongoing business. The activities of such businesses are adjusted when computing Adjusted EBITDA until such time as a new business generates positive Adjusted EBITDA. The divestiture of underperforming or non-strategic facilities is also an element of our business strategy. We eliminate the results of divested facilities beginning in the quarter in which they become divested. We view the income or losses associated with the wind-down of such divested facilities as not indicative of the performance of our ongoing operating business.
- Stock-based compensation. We exclude stock-based compensation expense because it does not result in an outlay of cash and such non-cash expenses do not reflect the underlying performance of our operating businesses.
- Other Items. From time to time we incur costs or realize gains that we do not believe reflect the underlying performance of our operating businesses. In the current reporting periods, we incurred the following expenses that we believe are non-recurring in nature and do not reflect ongoing operating performance of the Company or our operating businesses.
(1) Regulatory defense and related costs – We exclude the costs of investigating and defending the inherited legal matters associated with prior transactions. We believe these costs are non-recurring in nature as they will no longer be recognized following the final settlement of these matters. Also, we do not believe the excluded costs reflect underlying performance of our operating businesses.
(2) Other non-recurring costs – In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we excluded $8.5 million of costs attributable to the write down of receivables in our non-core physician services business and the impairment of unrealized incentives associated with a government program rewarding the meaningful use of technology in delivery of healthcare. This incentive was estimated to be earned and recognized between 2015 and 2016 within our physician services line of business. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we excluded $3.5 million of costs primarily incurred in connection with the removal of a non-cash actuarially developed discount related to the settlement of workers’ compensation claims for policy years 2012 and prior. We do not believe the excluded costs reflect the underlying performance of our operating businesses.

Adjusted EBITDAR
We use Adjusted EBITDAR as one measure in determining the value of prospective acquisitions or divestitures. Adjusted EBITDAR is also a commonly used measure to estimate the enterprise value of businesses in the healthcare industry. In addition, financial covenants in our lease agreements use Adjusted EBITDAR as a measure of compliance.
The adjustments made and previously described in the computation of Adjusted EBITDA are also made when computing Adjusted EBITDAR. See the reconciliation of net loss attributable to Genesis Healthcare, Inc. to Adjusted EBITDAR included herein.
