American CareSource Announces Financial Results for Third Quarter 2012
DALLAS, November 8, 2012 - American CareSource Holdings (NASDAQ: ANCI), the leading national network of ancillary healthcare providers, today reported revenue of $8.2 million for the third quarter of 2012, compared to $11.5 million for the same period in 2011. Net loss for the quarter was $1.1 million compared to a net loss of $6.5 million for the prior-year period.
Results from the prior-year period included a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $2.9 million (net of an income tax benefit of $1.5 million) and a non-cash valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets of $2.9 million. Excluding the non-cash goodwill impairment charge and the deferred tax valuation allowance, the net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2011, was $781,000.
The Company ended the quarter with $10.3 million of cash and cash equivalents.
During the quarter, the Company made two key appointments: M. Cornelia Outten was named vice president of strategic development and Ryan P. Hensley was named director of performance management. The appointments were made to realign the Company's leadership team with its strategic objectives and priorities. In their new roles, Ms. Outten will focus on the development of new products and strategies around our network of service providers, and Mr. Hensley will analyze internal and external strategic opportunities.
Kenn S. George, CEO and Chairman of the Board, stated, “As we continue to experience expected declines in legacy accounts, the ACS management team has been moving decisively to realign the business with clients' evolving needs. We have strengthened our product development, performance management and analytics functions to ensure that our resources, systems and employees share a common focus: connecting the value of our provider network to the needs of the marketplace. The result of our efforts will be a more relevant product portfolio and a more diversified set of revenue streams we believe will begin to be seen in 2013.”
Net Revenue
Net revenue was $8.2 million for the third quarter of 2012 compared to $11.5 million in the same period in 2011. Non-legacy accounts (those added in 2010-2012) grew 5.5 percent and contributed $3.3 million compared to $3.2 million in the third quarter of 2011. In addition, the non-legacy accounts grew 9.2 percent in the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to the same period in 2011. The revenue growth from the group of clients is due to the addition of employer groups that were not previously utilizing our network and the implementation of four new clients during 2012. Those clients contributed incremental revenue of $133,000 and $163,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.
For the three months ended September 30, 2012, revenue from ACS' two significant legacy accounts declined by a combined $3.3 million, or 51 percent, compared to the same period in 2011, due to factors described previously by the company. Revenue and claims volume from the larger of the two legacy clients was negatively impacted by issues related to its recent change in technology platforms, in addition to attrition in its own client base and a decline in laboratory service claims volume. Revenue from the other significant legacy account was negatively impacted by its continued transition related to a business combination. An additional client, which was implemented in early 2009, exited the health insurance business in 2011 and generated nominal revenue in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $544,000 in the third quarter last year.
Claims Volumes
ACS billed 37,000 claims during the third quarter of 2012, a decrease from the 61,000 claims it billed during the same period last year. The lower claims volume was primarily the result of the decline in claims volume from the company's two significant legacy clients. Sequentially, claims volume in the third quarter of 2012 declined 11.9 percent compared to the second quarter of 2012 due to the same factors.
Following are claims volumes for the periods presented:
(Claim amounts in 000's) | Q3 2012 | Q2 2012 | Q3 2011 |
Claims: | |||
Processed | 46 | 53 | 73 |
Billed | 37 | 42 | 61 |
Contribution Margin
Contribution margin for the third quarter of 2012 increased to 9.8 percent, compared to 6.3 percent reported during the third quarter of 2011. The increase in contribution margin was primarily the result of the decline in provider payments as a percent of revenue, from 79.1 percent in the third quarter of 2011 to 74.7 percent in the same period this year. The improvement in margin on provider payments is the result of the change in mix of clients generating revenue and claims volume. One of the company's significant clients historically carried a lower margin relative to other clients; the client contributed 8.6 percent of the company's revenue in the third quarter of 2012 compared to 22.1 percent in the same period last year. In addition, contribution margin benefited from a positive shift in mix toward higher-margin service categories, such as laboratory services, infusion services, durable medical equipment and surgery centers.
Following is a comparison of statement of operations components as a percent of net revenue:
Q3 2012 | Q2 2012 | Q3 2011 | ||||
Provider payments | 74.7 | % | 74.0 | % | 79.1 | % |
Administrative fees | 4.2 | % | 4.4 | % | 5.4 | % |
Claims administration and provider development | 11.3 | % | 11.1 | % | 9.2 | % |
Total cost of revenues | 90.2 | % | 89.5 | % | 93.7 | % |
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)
SG&A for the third quarter of 2012 decreased to $1.65 million from $1.71 million in the same period last year. Excluding the impact of a $263,000 restructuring charge, SG&A was $1.45 million in the third quarter of 2011. The increase, excluding the prior year restructuring charge, was primarily the result of ongoing sales and marketing investments made earlier in 2012 and consulting costs incurred during the third quarter related to strategic initiatives and the review of the organization's structure and alignment. Those costs were offset by a decline in headcount in ACS' administrative functions and were a reflection of previously implemented cost control measures.
SG&A was 20.2 percent of revenues in the third quarter of 2012, compared to 14.9 percent in the third quarter of 2011. The increase is the direct result of the decline in revenues as compared to the third quarter of last year.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2012 was a loss of $705,000, compared to a loss of $485,000 reported in the prior-year period.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss excluding the impact of income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, goodwill impairment charge, amortization of long-term client agreements, restructuring charges and other non-cash charges. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, but not in lieu of, net income or loss reported under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss is provided in the tables accompanying this release.
Financial Liquidity
Total cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2012 were $10.3 million, compared to $11.3 million reported at December 31, 2011, and compared to $10.6 million reported at June 30, 2012. In addition to the operating loss incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the decrease in cash and cash equivalents includes capital expenditures of $402,000.
The company was debt-free as of September 30, 2012.
