(1)  
Attain Fertility Centers segment revenue reflects the consolidation of the Company’s former Fertility Centers and Consumer Services segments into one unit comprising all fertility-related businesses.  Prior year periods have been consolidated to reflect those results as if the consolidation occurred on January 1, 2009.
(2)  
Vein Clinics operating income reflects the impact of new vein clinic pre-tax start-up costs of approximately $1.4 million in Q1 ’11 versus comparable expense of $39 thousand in Q1 ‘10.  New vein clinics typically reach breakeven within nine months of opening.
(3)  
IntegraMed uses the term "Adjusted EBITDA" when reporting financial results in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules regarding the use of financial measures not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a management tool to measure and monitor financial performance.  The definition of Adjusted EBITDA contained herein corresponds to the definition of Adjusted EBITDA contained in the Company’s credit facility; certain of the covenants contained therein are tied to Adjusted EBITDA.  While providing useful information, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation as a measure of financial performance under GAAP.  Investors should be aware that Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies and comparisons could be misleading unless all companies and analysts calculate this measure in the same fashion.  A reconciliation to Adjusted EBITDA is provided as supplemental data for this release.

 
 

 


Jay Higham, IntegraMed CEO, commented, “Q1 2011 revenue growth of $7.2 million represents the strongest first quarter growth that we have experienced since our acquisition of Vein Clinics of America in 2007 and demonstrates the impact of our investments over the last 12 months, the most significant of which was the launch of 11 new vein clinics.  As expected, our first quarter results were impacted by approximately $1.4 million in start-up losses associated with these new clinics.  During the first quarter we opened three new clinics along with one more clinic in early Q2 2011, bringing us to a total of 45 clinics in operation and positioning us to reach our previously stated goal of 50 clinics by year end. Absent the near-term impact of vein clinics investments, IntegraMed would have achieved strong growth in both net income and EBITDA in Q1 2011.  Importantly, vein clinics opened since January 1, 2010 contributed revenue of approximately $1.8 million in the first quarter.  Offsetting the $1.4 million in start-up losses was approximately $200 thousand in operating income from new clinics that have reached profitability.

“Operating income from our Attain Fertility Centers division was impacted by occupancy and marketing costs previously absorbed at the corporate G&A level being reallocated to the division.  The reallocation contributed to division operating income being essentially flat between the two periods.  From an EPS standpoint, Q1 results were also affected by a 16% increase in our diluted share count principally due to our mid-February 2010 public offering of 2.8 million common shares.  Going forward, the dilution from that offering will no longer affect year-over year EPS comparisons, and our net start-up losses should subside as we move into the second half of this year, putting us in a good position to deliver year-over-year EPS improvements.  We expect new clinic start up losses to approximate $1.6 million during the balance of 2011, though and increasing amount of these losses should be offset by performance at new clinics opened in 2010.”

Attain Fertility Centers posted solid revenue growth based on improvements across key metrics such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intra uterine insemination (IUI) cycles and Attain IVF Program enrollments.  Continued growth in new patient visits at fertility partners, as well as strong growth in Attain IVF enrollments, provide an encouraging window on demand trends.

Expanded patient outreach and referral generation initiatives, as well as generally improved consumer confidence, played in important roll in Q1 growth in IVF and IUI cycles.  The Attain IVF family of fertility treatment financing programs delivered solid double-digit growth in Q1. Growth in the program is being supported by new financing options and more active direct-to-consumer marketing, including a more sophisticated and visible on-line presence.

Attain Fertility Centers expanded its Seattle-area operations through an in-market merger between Northwest Center for Reproductive Sciences and IntegraMed’s existing partner, Seattle Reproductive Medicine.  IntegraMed continues to pursue similar transactions in other markets where the Company can achieve attractive economies of scale and further expand its geographic footprint.

 
 

 


Mr. Higham commented, “We are seeking growth in the Attain Fertility Centers segment through the acquisition of additional fertility partner interests and by expanding our base of affiliates who offer our Attain IVF program.  As fertility specialists look to restore growth and improve profitability at their practices, we are confident IntegraMed’s long-term reputation and proven value proposition will enable us to be successful in building our base of partners.  And with over $45.5 million in net cash and equivalents to fund this activity, we are very well positioned to move forward on deals meeting our strict financial and operational criteria.”

Vein clinics division revenue growth reflected contributions from eleven new clinics opened over the past twelve months, as well as enhancements to the division’s marketing and patient referral programs and ongoing operational efficiency improvements at the clinic level.  Vein clinic growth is being supported by expanding patient awareness of the availability of minimally invasive vein care treatment options covered by most insurers.

In addition, average quarterly revenue per mature clinic (those open prior to January 1, 2010) grew from $387K to over $421K in the first quarter. This increase on a year- over-year basis is a result of an increased focus on maximizing operating efficiencies and on marketing initiatives.

Operating income declined 71% as new clinic start-up losses amounted to $1.4 million in Q1.  Vein clinic start-up losses will continue to impact the division’s financial performance for the balance of 2011, though the ramp in revenue from clinics opened in 2010 and to date in 2011 should help offset an increasing percentage of start-up losses in the later part of 2011.

Mr. Higham, added, “Our vein clinic business continues to demonstrate very strong performance, with solid top-line growth and improvement across key metrics.  We are very optimistic about the long-term growth potential, particularly as we are using many of the core principles that have served us well in our Attain Fertility Centers business.  Those factors include attracting the best talent, doing in-depth research on each market and its competitive landscape, and leveraging the value of our divisional and corporate infrastructure and capabilities to drive improved patient care along with operating excellence and efficiency.”

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet
Total assets grew to $150.9 million from $148.7 million at year-end 2010.  Cash and cash equivalents decreased by 9% to $45.5 million versus year end 2010, due to the acquisition of NCRS for approximately $2.4 million, $2.5 million in new vein clinic capital investments, draw-downs of accrued fertility physician compensation, upfront outlays for 2011 marketing, advertising and media purchases and the payment of medical malpractice and other insurance premiums.

 
 

 


IntegraMed Interim CFO, Tim Sheehan, stated, “IntegraMed delivered healthy cash flow from operations in Q1 2011 despite investments in the growth of our fertility and vein clinics businesses.  We have a robust balance sheet that should further strengthen as we proceed through 2011 and increasingly benefit from our vein clinic expansion as well as continued progress in our fertility business.”

The Company’s revenue cycle management discipline further reduced consolidated days sales outstanding (DSO) to 31.9 days at the end of Q1 ‘11 from 35.5 days at the end of Q1 ‘10.  Vein Clinic DSO improved 15.1% to 41.6 days and Attain Fertility Centers DSO improved 18.7% to 22.2 days, when compared to Q1 2010.  Attain IVF product revenues are paid up front in their entirety, eliminating any credit risk or receivable management issues.
