Civitas Solutions Reports Fiscal 2017 Second Quarter Financial ResultsCivitas Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: CIVI) today reported financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended March 31, 2017. Second Quarter Fiscal 2017 Results At A Glance
"Our second quarter results reflect volume growth in all service lines and higher average rates across our I/DD, SRS and ADH businesses," stated Bruce Nardella, president and chief executive officer. "During the quarter we continued to see strong operating performance from our SRS service line. Our ADH business sustained its high growth trajectory, driven by the acquisition of six ADH centers in Maryland. We believe our solid results in the first half of the fiscal year position us well for the remainder of the year. In addition, the strength of our business model gives us confidence in our ability to continue to drive strong free cash flow, reduce leverage over time, and grow through disciplined investment in organic and acquisition opportunities." Second Quarter Fiscal 2017 Financial Results Net revenue for the second quarter was $362.4 million, an increase of $16.7 million, or 4.8%, over net revenue for the same period of the prior year. Net revenue increased $8.8 million from acquisitions that closed during and after the second quarter ended March 31, 2016 and $7.9 million from organic growth. The increase in net revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2017 was negatively impacted by an increase in sales adjustments of $2.0 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. Net revenue consisted of:
Income from operations for the second quarter was $16.3 million, or 4.5% of net revenue, compared to $21.5 million, or 6.2% of net revenue, for the second quarter of the prior year. The decrease in our operating margin was primarily due to increases in direct labor costs and client occupancy costs as a percentage of revenue. The increase in direct labor costs was the result of higher overtime pay and an increase in health insurance expense due to higher enrollment and utilization. The increase in occupancy costs was due to increases in rent, utilities, and maintenance expenses. Net income for the second quarter was $5.5 million compared to $7.3 million for the same period of the prior year. Basic and diluted net income per common share from continuing operations was $0.15 for the second quarter ended March 31, 2017, compared to basic and diluted net loss per common share from continuing operations of $0.20 for the same period of the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was $38.6 million, or 10.7% of net revenue, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $41.2 million, or 11.9% of net revenue, for the second quarter of the prior year. In addition to the operating factors described above, the quarter-over-quarter decline in Adjusted EBITDA was impacted by a $1.9 million gain from a favorable contract settlement realized during the prior quarter that did not recur. Furthermore, the prior quarter benefited from $2.0 million less in sales adjustments. These items were partially offset by $0.4 million in non-operating gains in the current quarter resulting in a net quarter-over-quarter impact of $3.5 million. First Half Fiscal 2017 Financial Results Net revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2017 was $721.8 million, an increase of $30.4 million, or 4.4%, over net revenue for the same period of the prior year. The growth in net revenue was negatively impacted by the divestiture of our ARY operations in six states during fiscal 2015 and the first half of fiscal 2016, which resulted in a decrease in net revenue of $7.0 million compared to the six months ended March 31, 2016. Excluding these operations, net revenue increased by $37.4 million, or 5.5%, of which $20.5 million was from acquisitions the closed during and after the six months ended March 31, 2016 and $16.9 million was from organic growth. The increase in net revenue during the six months ended March 31, 2017 was negatively impacted by an increase in sales adjustments of $3.0 million compared to the six months ended March 31, 2016. Net revenue consisted of:
Income from operations for the six months ended March 31, 2017 was $31.7 million, or 4.4% of net revenue, compared to $28.7 million, or 4.1% of net revenue, for the same period of the prior year. The increase in our operating margin was driven by a decrease in general and administrative expenses compared to the six months ended March 31, 2016. This decrease was primarily due a $9.1 million reduction in stock based compensation resulting from a $10.5 million stock based compensation charge recorded during the first quarter of the prior year. The increase in our operating margin was partially offset by increases in direct labor costs and client occupancy costs as a percentage of revenue. The increase in direct labor costs was the result of higher overtime pay and an increase in health insurance expense due to higher enrollment and utilization. The increase in occupancy costs was due to increases in rent, utilities, and maintenance expenses. Net income for the six months ended March 31, 2017 was $9.7 million compared to $1.7 million for the same period of the prior year. Basic and diluted net income per common share from continuing operations was $0.26 for the six months ended March 31, 2017, compared to $0.05 for the same period of the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended March 31, 2017 was $76.1 million, or 10.5% of net revenue, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $77.5 million, or 11.2% of net revenue, for the same period of the prior year. In addition to the operating factors described above, the period-over-period decline in Adjusted EBITDA was impact by a $1.9 million gain from a favorable contract settlement realized during the prior period that did not recur. Furthermore, the prior period benefited from $3.0 million less in sales adjustments. These items were partially offset by $0.5 million in non-operating gains in the current period resulting in a net period-over-period impact of $4.4 million. Fiscal 2017 Outlook and Guidance The Company is confirming its fiscal year 2017 net revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance that it originally communicated on December 14, 2016 during the release of fiscal 2016 fourth quarter and full year results. For fiscal 2017, we are maintaining our guidance for net revenue with a range of $1.48 billion to $1.52 billion and Adjusted EBITDA with a range of $162.0 million to $166.0 million. A reconciliation of the low-end and high-end of the Adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income is as follows:
Modeling guidelines for the current fiscal year assume the following:
Average basic and diluted shares outstanding for the year: 37.5 million Net income as presented in the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income may be further impacted by potential future non-operating charges that would impact net income without affecting Adjusted EBITDA.

Non-GAAP Financial Information This earnings release includes a discussion of Adjusted EBITDA, net revenue excluding ARY divested operations, and net debt, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted EBITDAis presented because it is an important measure used by management to assess financial performance, and management believes it provides a more transparent view of the Company's underlying operating performance and operating trends. In addition, the Company believes this measurement is important because securities analysts, investors and lenders use this measurement to compare the Company's performance to other companies in our industry. Net revenue excluding ARY divested operations is presented to enhance investors' understanding of the financial performance and operating trends of the continuing operations. Net debt is presented because it is useful for lenders, securities analysts, and investors in determining the Company's net debt leverage ratio. The non-GAAP financial measures are not determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to net income, revenues or total debt or other financial statement data presented as indicators of financial performance or liquidity, each as presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. While we and other companies in our industry frequently use Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of operating performance and the ability to meet debt service requirements, it is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the methods of calculation. All non-GAAP financial measures should be reviewed in conjunction with the Company's financial statements filed with the SEC. For a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, please see "Reconciliation of non-GAAP Financial Measures" on page 7 of this press release.
