IntegraMed’s 2011 results include a onetime, non-recurring $1.65 million pre-tax provision ($1.0 million after tax) for the settlement of a medical malpractice suit. The provision is IntegraMed’s portion of the settlement, net of insurance coverage and Partner physician contributions.
(2)  
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, President and CEO of IntegraMed, commented, "Our fourth quarter and full year earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA results demonstrate the strength of our business and the benefits of our investments in its growth. Excluding the impact of a $1.65 million pre-tax provision for a legal settlement, IntegraMed would have reported earnings of $0.47 per share in 2011, a 15% improvement over 2010. Importantly, our Q4 performance demonstrated strong top and bottom-line contributions from both our fertility and vein care businesses. Given the health of our balance sheet and our proven business model, we are very confident about IntegraMed’s ability to deliver further operating improvements in 2012 and beyond.

“Going forward, we believe our growth will come from both organic and new business development, as we grow revenue, implement operational improvements and maintain the highest levels of patient care across our fertility and vein care businesses. IntegraMed remains committed to growing our fertility business through the financial and operational support of our existing operations, through acquisitions of management contracts in small and large fertility practices, and through the expansion of our Attain IVF fertility treatment finance program. Similarly, we will continue to expand the scope of our vein clinic business through the opening of new clinics and the expansion of existing clinics as well as our array of treatment capabilities. Though the value of the investments we have made in the business over the past two years have not yet been fully realized, we are confident that IntegraMed is on the right track and that there remains substantial opportunity for growth and improved financial performance.”

The improvements in the Attain Fertility Centers Division revenue and operating income were principally driven by continued growth across IntegraMed’s partner centers, including previously challenged markets such as Florida that achieved double digit growth in Q4. In vitro fertilization (IVF) and Intra Uterine Insemination (IUI) cycles reflected strong demand with combined growth on a quarterly and full-year basis of 17.5% and 8.4%, respectively. However, revenue from the Attain IVF family of fertility treatment financing programs has been relatively flat versus the prior year as the benefit of new program launches in 2010 were annualized. IntegraMed is undertaking a number of initiatives to improve results, including adding new Partners and Affiliates and continuing to improve efficiency.

IntegraMed partner and affiliate centers benefitted from the Company’s substantial investment in a visible online presence to support patients’ information needs while also building awareness and generating patient leads for Attain Fertility Centers. IntegraMed’s online initiatives have become popular and trusted portals for families looking to learn more about fertility, treatment options and the wide array of services provided by IntegraMed.

Mr. Higham, commented, “With approximately 100K visitors per month and over 14K people following us via social media outlets, The Attain Fertility Center brand and online presence have reached a new level of visibility and degree of interaction. This presence is not only a great asset and patient recruitment tool for our fertility partners and affiliates, but should also prove valuable in helping us attract new fertility groups to IntegraMed.”

Clinics opened after January 1, 2010.

Our Vein Clinics Division was supported by strong growth by its new clinics – those clinics which opened after January 2010. New clinics accounted for approximately $4.9 million in revenue in Q4 ’11 compared to $0.9 million a year ago. As in previous quarters, approximately 98% of the segment’s revenue came from third party payors (15% of which is Medicare).

IntegraMed did not open any vein clinics in Q4, which is not a favorable time for clinic openings.  The Company finished the year with a total of 45 clinics, having opened 6 new clinics during 2011 and closed two clinics - Madison, WI and West Palm, FL (a second Florida vein clinic is slated to close during the first quarter of 2012). IntegraMed plans to open approximately 10 new clinics in 2012, with three clinics planned to open during the first quarter and the remainder expected in the second and third quarters.

Vein clinic contribution continued to be impacted by the net new clinic start-up losses, which amounted to $0.2 million in Q4 ’11, a level consistent with management’s expectations. The Company anticipates start-up losses of $0.6 to $0.9 million for Q1 2012, in-line with anticipated start-up losses of approximately $3.5 million for 2012, with the balance equally spread across the remainder of the year.

Mr. Higham, commented, “Our vein care expansion program has progressed well, as our new clinic development team has become more adept in the areas of planning, logistics and recruiting. Of course, we have faced unavoidable delays related to permitting and construction, but in general, the process is becoming more fluid and predictable. In addition to growth via new clinic development, we are equally focused on driving growth and profit in our more mature clinics, and are pleased to report that clinic contribution across clinics opened prior to January 1st, 2010 increased by 4.3% on a full year basis.”

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet
IntegraMed’s cash flow from operating activities rose 6.7% to approximately $23.0 million in 2011 and full year adjusted EBITDA rose 5% to $18.0 million. Reflecting a cash flow increase, net of approximately $5.0 million in capital investments for its new vein clinic development, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents increased 15% to $57.9 million, compared to year-end 2010. Additionally, the company was able to reduce long-term debt by 34.1% to $7.2 million, and shareholders’ equity rose 7.2% to $89.5 million during 2011.

IntegraMed CFO, Tim Sheehan, added, “IntegraMed delivered a very solid performance in Q4 and for the full year 2011, delivering strong cash flows that further strengthened our cash position. As a result, the Company remains very well positioned to execute on growth opportunities in both the fertility and vein care segments.

 
 

 



“Together, our fertility business and vein clinic segments have contributed to double-digit growth in revenue and have helped to mitigate the impact of vein clinic expansion costs. Going forward, given our planned pace of new vein clinic development, we now anticipate that start up costs for future clinics will be more than offset by increased contribution from existing facilities.”
