Press Release

National Mentor Holdings, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2012 Results

BOSTON, Massachusetts, August 14, 2012– National Mentor Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Third Quarter Results

Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 was $285.3 million, an increase of $15.6 million, or 5.8%, over revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Revenue increased $10.0 million from organic growth, including growth related to new programs, and $6.7 million from acquisitions that closed during and after the three months ended June 30, 2011. Revenue growth was partially offset by a reduction in revenue of $1.1 million from businesses we divested during the same period and rate reductions in some states, including Arizona, Florida and Minnesota.

Income from operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 was $12.7 million, an increase of $4.2 million as compared to income from operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The operating margin was 4.4% for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, an increase from 3.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, for the reasons discussed below.

Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 was $3.0 million compared to net loss of $8.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. This reflected both a decrease in stock-based compensation expense and depreciation and amortization as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2011. In addition, during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded certain other expenses that did not recur during the three months ended June 30, 2012, as detailed in the paragraph on Adjusted EBITDA below.

Adjusted EBITDA(1) for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 was $28.6 million, a decrease of $1.6 million, or 5.2%, as compared to Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Adjusted EBITDA was negatively impacted by increase in staffing in anticipation of growth opportunities, an increase in staffing to strengthen quality and service, rate reductions noted above, and by an increase in travel and transportation expense. The increase in expenses was partially offset by the $1.3 million of expense associated with one-time bonuses to direct care workers incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2011.

 

(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, 2012 was $838.6 million, an increase of $39.5 million, or 4.9%, over revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2011. Revenue increased $26.1 million from organic growth, including growth related to new programs, and $16.7 million from acquisitions that closed during and after the nine months ended June 30, 2011. Revenue growth was partially offset by a reduction in revenue of $3.3 million from businesses we divested during the same period and rate reductions in some states, including Arizona, Florida and Minnesota.

Income from operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 was $34.5 million, an increase of $4.1 million as compared to income from operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2011. The operating margin was 4.1% for the nine months ended June 30, 2012, an increase from 3.8% for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, for the reasons discussed below.

Net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 was $9.1 million compared to net loss of $19.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011. This reflected a decrease in stock-based compensation expense and depreciation and amortization, offset by an increase in interest expense of $17.6 million and non-recurrence of certain one-time expenses incurred during the nine months ended June 30, 2011. During the nine months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded $19.3 million in extinguishment of debt costs in connection with the refinancing transactions and recorded $2.4 million in discretionary recognition bonuses. These expenses were partially offset by a $3.0 million gain recognized as NMH Holdings Inc., repurchased its Senior Floating Rate Toggle Notes due 2014 from the Company. In addition, during the nine months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded certain other expenses that did not recur during the nine months ended June 30, 2012, as detailed in the paragraph on Adjusted EBITDA below.

Adjusted EBITDA(1) for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 was $81.9 million, a decrease of $5.6 million, or 6.4%, as compared to Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended June 30, 2011. Adjusted EBITDA was negatively impacted by the increase in staffing in anticipation of growth opportunities, an increase in staffing to strengthen quality and service, rate reductions mentioned above, and by an increase in travel and transportation expense. The increase in expenses was partially offset by a decrease in health insurance expense as a result of a change in plan design effective January 1, 2011 and a significant reduction in the number of large claims compared to the prior period. In addition, the increase in expense was partially offset by the non-recurrence of certain expenses that were incurred during the prior period, namely $2.5 million of expense associated with a one-time bonus to direct care workers 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 under the captions “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” 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.
