Team Health Holdings, Inc. Announces Preliminary 2015 Third Quarter Results And Updates 2015 Full Year Guidance


KNOXVILLE, Tenn., October 23, 2015 — Team Health Holdings, Inc. (“TeamHealth” or the "Company") (NYSE: TMH), a leading physician services organization, today announced its preliminary financial and operating results for the third quarter of 2015.

Preliminary Third Quarter 2015 Highlights
Net Revenue is expected to be $899.2 million, representing 26.2% growth over the third quarter of 2014.
Acquisitions and hybrid acquisitions developed from new hospital contracting opportunities are expected to contribute the majority of net revenue growth between quarters followed by net new sales, and increases in same contract revenue. Within same contract revenue, both fee for service volume and pricing are anticipated to be modestly positive, but growth in pricing will be constrained by declines in Medicaid parity revenue between quarters.
Diluted net earnings per share (EPS) is expected to be $0.48; Adjusted EPS is expected to be $0.68.
Although transaction costs of $2.6 million specifically related to the IPC Healthcare transaction have been excluded from the calculation of expected Adjusted EPS, an elevated level of other severance costs of $3.3 million, or $0.03 per share, is included in the projected results.
Adjusted EBITDA is expected to increase 13.6% to $101.1 million.

2015 Outlook
The Company is updating its Full Year 2015 outlook for projected net revenue growth from 24.0% - 26.0% to 25.0% - 26.0% and reiterating its Adjusted EBITDA margin of between 10.5% and 11.0%.




IPC Healthcare Transaction
Transaction remains on track, with closing expected in the fourth quarter of 2015.

See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliations” and “Adjusted Earnings Per Share” below for the definition of expected Adjusted EPS and its reconciliation to expected net earnings and diluted earnings per share attributable to Team Health Holdings, Inc.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliations
In this release we refer to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted Earnings per Share ("Adjusted EPS") which are financial measures that are calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net earnings attributable to Team Health Holdings, Inc. before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to exclude the non-cash items and the other adjustments shown in the table under “Adjusted EBITDA” in the release. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue. Adjusted EPS is defined as diluted earnings per share attributable to Team Health Holdings, Inc. excluding non-cash and other adjustments, including the impact of contingent purchase and other acquisition compensation expense and amortization expense relating to purchase accounting for historical acquisitions and the other adjustments shown in the table under “Adjusted Earnings Per Share” in the release. For a reconciliation of each of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, we refer you to the tables under “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Adjusted Earnings Per Share,” respectively, contained in the release.

Adjusted EBITDA
We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it assists investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance or liquidity under generally accepted accounting principles. In evaluating our performance as measured by Adjusted EBITDA, management recognizes and considers the limitations of this measure. Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect certain cash expenses that we are obligated to make, and although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do or may not calculate it at all, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings, operating income, cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities, or any other measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Adjusted Earnings Per Share
We present Adjusted earnings per share attributable to Team Health Holdings, Inc. (“Adjusted EPS”) as a supplemental measure of our performance. We present Adjusted EPS because we believe that it assists investors in understanding the impact of acquisition-related costs on our earnings per share and comparing our performance across operating periods on a consistent basis and provides additional insight into our core earnings performance. Adjusted EPS is not a measurement of financial performance or liquidity under generally accepted accounting principles. In evaluating our performance as measured by Adjusted EPS, management recognizes and considers the limitations of this measure. Adjusted EPS does not reflect certain cash expenses that we are obligated to make, and although contingent purchase and other acquisition compensation expense and amortization expense are non-cash charges in the period reported, such charges reflect historical or future cash payments in conjunction with our acquisition transactions. In



addition, other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EPS differently than we do or may not calculate it at all, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EPS should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings, operating income, basic and diluted earnings per share, cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities, or any other measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
