Civitas Solutions Reports Fiscal 2016 Second Quarter Results

BOSTON, MA, May 10, 2016 - Civitas Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: CIVI) today reported financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended March 31, 2016.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2016 Highlights

Second quarter net revenue increased 3.1% to $345.7 million; excluding at-risk youth ("ARY") divested operations, second quarter net revenue increased by 7.9%
Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA increased 11.2% to $41.2 million; excluding ARY divested operations, second quarter Adjusted EBITDA increased by 15.7%
Second quarter net income was $7.3 million, compared to net income of $1.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2015
Expanded platform of Adult Day Health (“ADH”) services to the state of Maryland with the acquisition of five centers
Completed six acquisitions during the second quarter, bringing the year-to-date total to eight acquisitions with total annual revenues of $42.6 million

“We are very pleased with our performance in the second quarter,” stated Bruce Nardella, president and chief executive officer. “Our success in leveraging multiple growth drivers in both of our reporting segments generated 7.9% net revenue growth—almost two-thirds of which was organic—and 15.7% Adjusted EBITDA growth, excluding divested ARY operations. We made excellent progress toward the achievement of many of our strategic goals, as we finalized the divestiture of low-margin ARY services in five states, continued our planned increase in new start initiatives, completed six acquisitions and expanded our new ADH platform into a second state.”

Second Quarter Fiscal 2016 Financial Results

Net revenue for the second quarter was $345.7 million, an increase of $10.5 million, or 3.1%, over net revenue for the same period of the prior year. Net revenue increased $9.5 million from acquisitions that closed during and after the second quarter ended March 31, 2015 and $1.0 million from organic growth, including growth related to new programs. Net revenue and organic growth were negatively impacted by the operating results of our ARY divested operations, which resulted in a decrease in net revenue of $14.8 million. Excluding these operations, net revenue increased by $25.3 million, or 7.9%, of which $15.8 million was from organic growth.

Net revenue consisted of:

Human Services net revenue of $273.7 million (79.2% of total net revenue), an increase of 1.5% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2015; excluding ARY divested operations, Human Services net revenue increased by 7.4%; and
Post-Acute Specialty Rehabilitation Services net revenue of $72.0 million (20.8% of total net revenue), an increase of 10.0% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2015.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was $41.2 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $37.1 million for the second quarter ended March 31, 2015, an increase of 11.2%. In addition to the contributions of acquisitions, our Adjusted EBITDA margin for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was positively impacted by the divestitures of low margin ARY operations during fiscal 2015 and the first half of fiscal 2016, a decrease in workers' compensation expense resulting from favorable claims experience and leveraging of general and administrative expenses, compared to the second quarter of the prior year. These improvements were partially offset by an increase in direct labor costs due to higher amounts of overtime in some markets, an increase in occupancy costs as a percentage of revenue due to programs with higher levels of open occupancy, and an increase in professional and general liability expense resulting from unfavorable claims experience during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Income from operations for the second quarter was $21.5 million, or 6.2% of net revenue, compared to $15.0 million, or 4.5% of net revenue, for the second quarter of the prior year. In addition to the items noted above, our operating margin during the three months ended March 31, 2016 was positively impacted by a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense, compared to the second quarter of the prior year. Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 included an intangible asset impairment charge of $2.2 million related to the closure of our Illinois ARY business.
 
Net income for the second quarter was $7.3 million compared to net income of $1.7 million for the same period of the prior year. In addition to the items noted above, net income was positively affected by lower interest expense and debt extinguishment costs resulting from the redemption of senior notes in fiscal 2015.





Basic and diluted net income per common share from continuing operations was $0.20 for the fiscal second quarter ended March 31, 2016, compared to net income per common share from continuing operations of $0.05 for the same period of the prior year.

First Half Fiscal 2016 Financial Results

Net revenue for the first six months ended March 31, 2016 was $691.4 million, an increase of $21.7 million, or 3.2%, over net revenue for the same period of the prior year. Net revenue increased $18.4 million from acquisitions that closed during and after the second quarter ended March 31, 2015 and $3.3 million from organic growth, including growth related to new programs. Net revenue and organic growth were negatively impacted by the operating results of our ARY divested operations, which resulted in a decrease in net revenue of $22.8 million. Excluding these operations, net revenue increased by $44.5 million, or 7.0%, of which $26.1 million was from organic growth.

Net revenue consisted of:

Human Services net revenue of $551.4 million (79.7% of total net revenue), an increase of 1.8% compared to the six months ended March 31, 2015; excluding ARY divested operations, Human Services net revenue increased by 6.3%; and
Post-Acute Specialty Rehabilitation Services net revenue of $140.0 million (20.3% of total net revenue), an increase of 9.4% compared to the six months ended March 31, 2015.

Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended March 31, 2016 was $77.5 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $77.6 million for the same period of the prior year. As previously disclosed, our Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended March 31, 2015 included a $6.6 million benefit from unusual circumstances related to lower-than-expected health insurance claims and reversals to accruals for incentive compensation that weren’t expected to, and largely did not, repeat. In addition, our Adjusted EBITDA margin during the first half of fiscal 2016 was negatively impacted by an increase in direct labor costs due to higher amounts of overtime in some markets, an increase in occupancy costs as a percentage of revenue due to programs with higher levels of open occupancy, and higher professional and general liability expense resulting from unfavorable claims experience as compared to the same period of the prior year. The impact of these items was offset by margin improvements resulting from the divestitures of lower margin ARY operations, a decrease in workers' compensation expense due to favorable claims experience, and contributions from acquisitions.

Income from operations for the six months ended March 31, 2016 was $28.7 million, or 4.1% of net revenue, compared to $34.5 million, or 5.2% of net revenue, for the same period of the prior year. In addition to the items noted above, our operating margin during the six months ended March 31, 2016 was negatively impacted, as compared to the same period of the prior year, by a $10.5 million stock-based compensation charge resulting from the vesting of certain awards under our former equity compensation plan and $2.0 million of exit costs associated with the ARY divested operations. The effect of these charges was partially offset by a $3.2 million reduction in the fair value of acquisition related contingent consideration liabilities during the six months ended March 31, 2016.

Net income for the six months ended March 31, 2016 was $1.7 million compared to a net loss of $1.7 million for the same period of the prior year. In addition to the items noted above, net income was positively impacted by lower interest expense and debt extinguishment costs resulting from the redemption of senior notes in fiscal 2015. This benefit was partially offset by a $1.3 million loss on the sale of our ARY operations in North Carolina, and the $4.3 million tax impact associated with the $10.5 million stock-based compensation charge disclosed above. This expense was not deductible for tax purposes.

Basic and diluted net income per common share from continuing operations was $0.05 for the six months ended March 31, 2016, compared to a net loss per common share from continuing operations of $0.04 for the same period of the prior year.




Fiscal 2016 Outlook and Guidance

The Company is confirming its fiscal year 2016 net revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance that it originally communicated on December 10, 2015 during the release of fiscal 2015 fourth quarter and full year results.

For fiscal 2016, we are maintaining our guidance for net revenue with a range of $1.400 billion to $1.440 billion and Adjusted EBITDA with a range of $161.0 million to $165.0 million.

Modeling guidelines for the current fiscal year are as follows:

Annual tax rate: 53%*
Depreciation and Amortization: $73 million
Average basic and diluted shares outstanding for the year: 37.5 million
Stock-based compensation: $17.6 million*
Capital expenditures: 3.3% to 3.5% of net revenue

*
The modeling guideline for our annual stock compensation expense includes $10.5 million of expense related to certain awards under our former equity compensation plan that vested in October 2015.  The vesting of these awards impacted the allocation of the shares of Civitas that were distributed from NMH Investment, LLC to our private equity sponsor and management and not the number of shares outstanding.  This expense is not deductible for tax purposes.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This earnings release includes a presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented because they are important measures used by management to assess financial performance, and management believes they provide a more transparent view of the Company’s underlying operating performance and operating trends. Reconciliations of net loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented within the tables below.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to net income or cash flows from operations, as determined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. While EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used as measures of financial performance and the ability to meet debt service requirements, they are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the methods of calculation. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should be reviewed in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements filed with the SEC.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains statements about future events and expectations that constitute forward-looking statements, including our guidance, outlook and statements about our expectations for future financial performance. Forward-looking statements are based on our beliefs, assumptions and expectations of industry trends, our future financial and operating performance and our growth, taking into account the information currently available to us. These statements are not statements of historical fact. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations of future results we express or imply in any forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on such statements. Factors that could contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, the factors described in “Risk Factors” in Civitas’ Form 10-K. Words such as “anticipates”, “believes”, “continues”, "positions", “estimates”, “expects”, “goal”, “objectives”, “intends”, “may”, “hope”, “opportunity”, “plans”, “potential”, “near-term”, “long-term”, “projections”, “assumptions”, “projects”, “guidance”, “forecasts”, “outlook”, “target”, “trends”, “should”, “could”, “would”, “will” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. We qualify any forward-looking statements entirely by these cautionary factors. We assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements for any reason, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future. Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data.

The vesting of these awards impacted the allocation of the shares of Civitas that were distributed from NMH Investment, LLC to our private equity sponsor and management and not the number of shares outstanding.
(c) 
Represents the costs associated with the redemption of $162.0 million and $50.0 million of senior notes in October 2014 and March 2015, respectively, and the write-off of the associated deferred financings costs and original issue discount.

Represents the loss recorded on the sale of our ARY North Carolina business.
(h) 
Operating losses from new starts represent losses from any new start programs initiated within 18 months of the periods presented that had operating losses during the respective periods.

(d) 
In the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended March 31, 2015, the Company incorrectly included the fair value of contingent consideration related to acquisitions of businesses, net of cash acquired, and the corresponding changes to other accrued and long term liabilities, in its cash flow statement for the six months ended March 31, 2015. This resulted in an overstatement of net cash provided by operating activities and an overstatement of net cash used in investing activities of $6.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2015. This has been corrected in the reported amounts above for the six months ended March 31, 2015.
(e) 
A portion of the IPO proceeds of $182.2 million that we received in fiscal 2014 was used to retire $162.0 million of senior unsecured notes on October 17, 2014 and pay the related redemption premium and fees.
