Press Release
National Mentor Holdings, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2011
Results
BOSTON, Massachusetts, August 15, 2011— National Mentor Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended June 30, 2011.
Third Quarter Results
Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 was $271.2 million, an increase of $12.4 million, or 4.8%, over revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. Revenue increased $7.7 million related to acquisitions that closed during and after the three months ended June 30, 2010 and $4.7 million related to organic growth, including growth related to new programs. Modest organic growth was achieved despite the negative impact of rate reductions in several states, including Indiana, Oregon and Wisconsin.
Income from operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 was $8.3 million, a decrease of $4.0 million as compared to income from operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. The operating margin was 3.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, a decrease from 4.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.
Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 was $8.3 million compared to net loss of $0.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. In addition to the factors noted below with respect to Adjusted EBITDA, net loss was negatively impacted by increases in interest expense, stock-based compensation expense, and depreciation and amortization expense; as well as expense related to the restructuring of certain corporate and field functions.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 was $30.3 million, an increase of $1.9 million, or 6.8%, as compared to Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was the result of the increase in revenue noted above, as well as our on-going cost-containment efforts. Partially offsetting this increase, Adjusted EBITDA was negatively impacted by increased expense related to higher self-insured retentions and premiums for professional and general liability policies, rate reductions in several states, including Indiana, Oregon and Wisconsin, and increased occupancy expense.
 
     
(1)  
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial performance measure used by management, which is net income (loss) before interest expense and interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and certain non-operating expenses. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss is provided on page 6.

 

 


 

Year-to-Date Results
Revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 was $803.6 million, an increase of $45.3 million, or 6.0%, over revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2010. Revenue increased $34.7 million related to acquisitions that closed during and after fiscal 2010 and $10.6 million related to organic growth, including growth related to new programs. Modest organic growth was achieved despite the negative impact of rate reductions in several states, including Indiana, Oregon and Wisconsin.
Income from operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 was $29.7 million, a decrease of $4.6 million as compared to income from operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2010. The operating margin was 3.7% for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, a decrease from 4.5% for the nine months ended June 30, 2010.
Net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 was $19.6 million compared to net loss of $5.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010. In addition to the factors noted below with respect to Adjusted EBITDA, net loss increased due to several factors including expenses related to the Company’s refinancing transactions, partially offset by a gain recognized upon the repurchase of the Company’s investment in the NMH Holdings notes. In addition, net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 was also negatively impacted by increases in interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense and stock-based compensation expense; expense for transaction recognition bonuses; and expense related to the restructuring of certain corporate and field functions.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 was $87.6 million, an increase of $7.3 million, or 9.1%, as compared to Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was the result of the increase in revenue noted above, as well as our on-going cost containment efforts. Partially offsetting this increase, Adjusted EBITDA was negatively impacted by increased expense related to higher self-insured retentions and premiums for professional and general liability policies, increased occupancy expense, rate reductions in several states, including Indiana, Oregon and Wisconsin, and higher reserves for employment practices liability claims.

From time to time, the Company may make forward-looking statements in its public disclosures. The forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions made by management of the Company and are believed to be reasonable, although they are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. The forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from any such forward-looking statements, including the risks and uncertainties disclosed as Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors included in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
This press release includes presentations of Adjusted EBITDA because it is the primary measure used by management to assess financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest expense and interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and certain non-operating expenses. Reconciliations of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA are presented within the tables below. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered an alternative to net income or cash flows from operations, as determined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. While Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used as a measure of financial 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 method of calculation.
