Acadia Healthcare Reports 78.1% Growth in Second Quarter Adjusted EPS to $0.57


Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACHC) today announced financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015. For the quarter, revenue increased 112.2% to $453.7 million from $213.8 million for the second quarter of 2014. Income from continuing operations was $33.8 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2015 compared with $22.5 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2014. Adjusted income from continuing operations increased 137.8% to $39.5 million for the second quarter of 2015 from $16.6 million for the second quarter of 2014, while adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share increased 78.1% to $0.57 from $0.32. The adjusted results exclude transaction-related expenses of $7.2 million and $3.0 million for the second quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively, a $1.0 million loss on foreign currency derivatives for the second quarter of 2015 and a $13.7 million gain on foreign currency derivatives for the second quarter of 2014. Weighted average shares outstanding increased 32.6% for the second quarter of 2015 from the second quarter of 2014, primarily due to the issuance of common stock in June 2014 and February and May 2015, the net proceeds of which have primarily been used to fund acquisitions. A reconciliation of all non-GAAP financial results in this release appears on pages 8 and 9.

For the first six months of 2015, revenue grew 97.4% to $819.4 million from $415.2 million for the first six months of 2014. Income from continuing operations for the first half of 2015 was $48.4 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, compared with $35.5 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, for the same period in 2014. Adjusted income from continuing operations increased 117.5% to $66.6 million for the first six months of 2015 from $30.6 million for the first six months of 2014, while adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share increased 68.3% to $1.01 from $0.60. The adjusted results exclude transaction-related expenses of $25.6 million and $4.6 million for the first half of 2015 and 2014, respectively, a $0.9 million loss on foreign currency derivatives for the first half of 2015 and a $13.7 million gain on foreign currency derivatives for the first half of 2014. Weighted average shares outstanding increased 28.5% for the first six months of 2015 compared with the same period in 2014.

"For the second quarter of 2015, Acadia's organic growth and acquisition strategies continued to drive outstanding financial results," said Joey Jacobs, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Acadia. "While the July 1, 2014, acquisition of Partnerships in Care (PiC) and the February 11, 2015, acquisition of CRC Health Group (CRC) were the primary drivers of our growth for the latest quarter, we completed a total of 11 acquisitions in the 12 months ended June 30, 2015, adding 82 facilities with more than 4,300 inpatient beds and 88 comprehensive treatment centers.

"During the second quarter, we contributed to these totals with five acquisitions in the United Kingdom, which added 21 facilities and over 500 beds to PiC's operations. As a result, PiC celebrated its first year anniversary as part of Acadia with 45 facilities and over 1,800 beds compared with 23 facilities and approximately 1,200 beds at the time of the acquisition.

"In addition to the accretive impact of acquisitions, our second quarter financial results benefited from strong organic growth that drove revenues and margin improvement. This growth primarily reflected the addition of approximately 400 beds for the 12 months ended June 30, 2015, to existing facilities and one de novo facility, including approximately 250 new beds added in the first half of 2015.

"Second quarter same facility revenue increased 9.0%, due largely to new beds added to the same facility base over the previous 12 months, as well as to our continuing initiatives to build revenue at each facility. Same facility patient days increased 7.4% compared with the second quarter last year, and same facility revenue per patient day rose 1.5%. The increased operating leverage generated by significant same facility revenue growth, combined with our efforts to improve facility productivity and efficiency, produced a 120 basis point increase in same facility EBITDA margin to 26.1% for the quarter. Acadia's consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2015 increased 136.6% to $105.8 million from $44.7 million for the second quarter of 2014, while our consolidated adjusted EBITDA margin increased 240 basis points to 23.3%.

"Since the end of the second quarter, we have completed an additional transaction in the U.K., acquiring a 15-bed inpatient facility, which is our first U.K. facility focused on addiction treatment. In addition, we completed the acquisition of our first inpatient behavioral health facility in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which operates approximately 150 beds. We believe Acadia is well positioned to continue executing its acquisition and organic growth strategies, with $72.5 million of cash flow from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2015 and full availability under our $300 million revolving credit facility."

Acadia today increased its guidance for 2015 adjusted earnings per diluted share to a range of $2.15 to $2.18 from the previous range of $2.12 to $2.15. The Company's guidance does not include the impact of any future acquisitions or transaction-related expenses.

Acadia will hold a conference call to discuss its second quarter financial results at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, August 5, 2015. A live webcast of the conference call will be available at www.acadiahealthcare.com in the "Investors" section of the website.

Footnotes
   
We have included certain financial measures in this press release, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income from continuing operations, which are "non-GAAP financial measures" as defined under the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC. We define EBITDA as net income adjusted for loss from discontinued operations, net interest expense, income tax provision and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for equity-based compensation expense, debt extinguishment costs, gain on foreign currency derivatives and transaction-related expenses.
 
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income from continuing operations are supplemental measures of our performance and are not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income from continuing operations are not measures of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as measures of our liquidity. Our measurements of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income from continuing operations may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. We have included information concerning EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income from continuing operations in this press release because we believe that such information is used by certain investors as measures of a company's historical performance. We believe these measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of issuers of equity securities, many of which present EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income from continuing operations when reporting their results. Our presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income from continuing operations should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.
