1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

 

Description of Business

 

The Providence Service Corporation (“we”, the “Company” or “Providence”) is a holding company, whose subsidiaries provide critical healthcare and workforce development services. We operate in three segments: Non-Emergency Transportation Services (“NET Services”), Workforce Development Services (“WD Services”) and Health Assessment Services (“HA Services”). NET Services coordinates non-emergency transportation for individuals whose limited mobility and/or financial resources would otherwise hinder them from accessing necessary healthcare and social services. WD Services primarily provides employability and offender rehabilitation services to eligible participants of government sponsored programs. HA Services provides care optimization and delivery solutions, including comprehensive health assessments (“CHAs”) for health plans as well as in-home care management offerings.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company follows accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The FASB establishes accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants, which the Company is required to follow. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), which serves as a single source of authoritative non-SEC accounting and reporting standards to be applied by non-governmental entities. All amounts are presented in US dollars in thousands, unless the context otherwise requires or otherwise noted.

 

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information, and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods have been included.

 

The Company has made estimates relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and certain disclosures to prepare these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016. Management has evaluated events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date and through the date these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were filed, and considered the effect of such events in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

Reclassifications 

 

          We have reclassified certain amounts relating to our prior period results to conform to our current period presentation. On November 1, 2015, the Company completed the sale of the Human Services segment and, as such, operating results for this segment are reported as discontinued operations, net of tax in the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. See Note 15, Discontinued Operations, for further information.

 

Effective January 1, 2016, the Company adopted ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”) and reclassified debt issuance costs to a contra-liability account in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015. Additionally, the Company recast its condensed consolidated statement of other comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 to conform with the presentation of other comprehensive income included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

2. Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company adopted the following accounting pronouncements during the six months ended June 30, 2016:

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The Company capitalizes debt issuance costs incurred in connection with its credit facilities, line-of-credit, and other borrowings (“deferred financing costs”), and amortizes such costs over the life of the respective debt liability.

 

Upon adoption of ASU 2015-03 on January 1, 2016, the Company elected to present deferred financing costs for both its credit facilities and line-of credit arrangement as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the respective debt liability. Accordingly, deferred financing costs, net of amortization, totaling $3,774 at December 31, 2015 have been reclassified from “Other assets” to “Long-term obligations, less current portion” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Deferred financing costs and debt discounts, net of accumulated amortization, totaling $3,872 and $4,879 at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, are included in “Long-term obligations, less current portion” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (“ASU 2015-02”), which changes the way reporting enterprises evaluate whether (a) they should consolidate limited partnerships and similar entities, (b) fees paid to a decision maker or service provider are variable interests in a variable interest entity (“VIE”), and (c) variable interests in a VIE held by related parties of the reporting enterprise require the reporting enterprise to consolidate the VIE. It also eliminates the VIE consolidation model based on majority exposure to variability that applied to certain investment companies and similar entities. The new guidance excludes money market funds that are required to comply with Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and similar entities from the U.S. GAAP consolidation requirements. The new consolidation guidance is effective for public business entities for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2015-02 on January 1, 2016 had no impact on the consolidation of the Company’s existing VIEs.

 

Updates to the recent accounting pronouncements as disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 are as follows:

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-07, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting (“ASU 2016-07”). This ASU eliminates the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence, an investor must adjust the investment, results of operations, and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method had been in effect during all previous periods that the investment had been held. The ASU requires that the equity method investor add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of the investor’s previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment becomes qualified for equity method accounting. The ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016 and should be applied prospectively upon their effective date. The adoption of ASU 2016-07 will impact the Company’s accounting and disclosures related to future equity method investments.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) (“ASU 2016-08”). This ASU is intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations and whether an entity reports revenue on a gross or net basis. Additionally, in April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing (“ASU 2016-10”). This clarifies two aspects of Topic 606: (a) identifying performance obligations; and (b) the licensing implementation guidance. ASU 2016-08 and ASU 2016-10 will have the same effective dates and transition requirements as the new revenue standard issued in ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The Company currently is evaluating the impact of the adoption of these ASUs on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”). This ASU is intended to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments and affect all organizations that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. Several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions are simplified, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. For public companies, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for any organization in any interim or annual period. The Company currently is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-09 on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-11, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815); Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates 2014-09 and 2014-16 Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 EITF Meeting (“ASU 2016-11”), which rescinded certain SEC Staff Observer comments that are codified in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and Topic 932, Extractive Activities-Oil and Gas, effective upon adoption of Topic 606. The Company does not expect the adoption of this section of the ASU to have an impact on its consolidated financial statements. Additionally, ASU 2016-11 removed from the Codification the SEC Staff Announcement, “Determining the Nature of a Host Contract Related to a Hybrid Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Under Topic 815,” which is codified in FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and is effective on adoption of ASU No. 2014-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) (“ASU 2014-16”). The Company adopted ASU 2014-16 effective January 1, 2015. The adoption of this section of ASU 2016-11 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

There were no other significant updates to the new accounting guidance not yet adopted by the Company as disclosed in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

 

3. Equity Investment

 

The Company entered into a joint venture agreement in November 2014 to form Mission Providence Pty Ltd (“Mission Providence”). Mission Providence delivers employment services in Australia. The Company has a 60% ownership in Mission Providence, and has rights to 75% of Mission Providence’s distributions of cash or profit surplus twice per calendar year. The Company provided to Mission Providence $6,381 in capital contributions during the six months ended June 30, 2016, and may continue to provide further contributions in exchange for its equity interests.

 

The Company determined it has a variable interest in Mission Providence. However, it does not have unilateral power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Mission Providence’s economic performance, which include budget approval, business planning, the appointment of key officers and liquidation and distribution of share capital. As a result, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of Mission Providence. The Company accounts for this investment under the equity method of accounting and the Company’s share of Mission Providence’s losses are recorded as “Equity in net loss of investee” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. Cash contributions made to Mission Providence in exchange for its equity interests are included in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as “Equity investments”. The investment is accounted for as part of the WD Services segment.

The following table summarizes the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and the maximum loss exposure related to the Company’s interest in Mission Providence as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

December 31, 2015

  $ 9,324     $ 4,654     $ 9,324  

 

Accrued Expenses relate to future funding commitments required under the joint venture agreement pursuant to the Company’s 60% equity interest that have been approved by the Mission Providence joint venture Board. An additional AUD $2,000 (approximately $1,485 as of June 30, 2016) in future funding commitments required by the joint venture agreement have not been recognized as of June 30, 2016 because such commitments have not been approved for funding by the Mission Providence joint venture Board.

6.  Restructuring and Related Reorganization Costs

 

In the fourth quarter of 2015, WD Services approved two redundancy plans.  The first plan relates to the termination of employees currently delivering services under an offender rehabilitation program.  The second plan primarily relates to the termination of employees delivering services under the Company’s employability and skills training programs and certain other employees in the United Kingdom (the “UK”).   The Company recorded severance and related charges of approximately $4,608 during the six months ended June 30, 2016 relating to the actualization of termination benefits for specifically identified employees impacted as well as an increase in the number of individuals impacted by these plans. The initial estimate of severance and related charges at December 31, 2015 was based upon the employee groups impacted, average salary and benefits, and redundancy benefits pursuant to the existing policies. The final identification of the employees impacted is subject to customary consultation procedures. The severance charges incurred are recorded as “Service expense” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

The fair value of the Company’s long-term obligations has been determined based on an income approach to discount the future debt payments using current market yields and is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

 

8. Convertible Preferred Stock, Net

 

The Company completed a rights offering on February 5, 2015 (the “Rights Offering”) providing all of the Company’s existing common stock holders the non-transferrable right to purchase their pro rata share of $65,500 of convertible preferred stock at a price equal to $100.00 per share. The convertible preferred stock is convertible into shares of Providence’s common stock at a conversion price equal to $39.88 per share, which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on October 22, 2014.

 

Stockholders exercised subscription rights to purchase 130,884 shares of the Company's convertible preferred stock. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Standby Purchase Agreement (the “Standby Purchase Agreement”) between Coliseum Capital Partners, L.P., Coliseum Capital Partners II, L.P., Coliseum Capital Co-Invest, L.P. and Blackwell Partners, LLC (collectively, the “Standby Purchasers”) and the Company, the remaining 524,116 shares of the Company’s preferred stock were purchased by the Standby Purchasers at the $100 per share subscription price. The Company received $65,500 in aggregate gross proceeds from the consummation of the Rights Offering and Standby Purchase Agreement. Additionally, on March 12, 2015, the Standby Purchasers exercised their right to purchase an additional 150,000 shares of the Company’s convertible preferred stock, at a purchase price of $105.00 per share or a total purchase price of $15,750, of the same series and having the same conversion price as the convertible preferred stock sold in the Rights Offering.

The Company may pay a noncumulative cash dividend on each share of convertible preferred stock, if and when declared by its Board of Directors, at the rate of five and one-half percent (5.5%) per annum on the liquidation preference then in effect. On or before the third business day immediately preceding each fiscal quarter, the Company must determine its intention whether or not to pay a cash dividend with respect to that ensuing quarter and will give notice of its intention to each holder of convertible preferred stock as soon as practicable thereafter.

 

In the event the Company does not declare and pay a cash dividend, the Company will declare a paid in kind (“PIK”) dividend by increasing the liquidation preference of the convertible preferred stock to an amount equal to the liquidation preference in effect at the start of the applicable dividend period, plus an amount equal to the liquidation preference then in effect multiplied by eight and one-half percent (8.5%) per annum, computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed from the start of the applicable dividend period to the applicable date of determination. All holders of the Company’s convertible preferred stock are able to convert their convertible preferred stock into shares of common stock at a rate of approximately 2.51 shares of common stock for each share of convertible preferred stock. As of June 30, 2016, 1,602 shares of convertible preferred stock have been converted to 4,015 shares of common stock.

 

Cash dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year, which commenced on April 1, 2015, and, if declared, begin to accrue on the first day of the applicable dividend period. PIK dividends, if applicable, accrue cumulatively on the same schedule as set forth above for cash dividends and are also compounded at the applicable annual rate on each applicable subsequent dividend date. Cash dividends totaling $2,197 and $1,698 were distributed to convertible preferred stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

The convertible preferred stock is accounted for outside of stockholders’ equity as it may be redeemed upon certain change in control events that are not solely in the control of the Company. Dividends are recorded in stockholders’ equity and consist of the 5.5%/8.5% dividend. At the time of issuance of the convertible preferred stock, the Company recorded a discount on convertible preferred stock related to beneficial conversion features that arose due to the closing price of the Company’s common stock being higher than the conversion price of the convertible preferred stock on the commitment date. The amortization of this discount was recorded in stockholders’ equity. The discount was fully amortized as of June 30, 2015.

 

The following table summarizes the convertible preferred stock activity for 2016:

10.    Stock-Based Compensation and Similar Arrangements

 

The Company provides stock-based compensation to employees and non-employee directors under the Company’s 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2006 Plan”). Awards issued under this plan include stock option awards, restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and performance based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”). In addition, the Company has a long-term incentive plan designed to provide long-term performance based awards to certain executive officers of the Company which also falls under the 2006 Plan. On July 27, 2016, the Company’s stockholders approved the adoption of an amended 2006 Plan, which, among other things, increased the number of shares available under the 2006 Plan. See Note 17, Subsequent Events.

 

The following table reflects the amount of stock-based compensation for share settled awards recorded in each financial statement line item for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015:

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, the Company recorded benefits of $847 and $117 for stock-based compensation related to these cash settled awards. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, the Company recorded a benefit of $271 and expense of $1,761 for stock-based compensation related to these cash settled awards. This benefit and expense is included in “General and administrative expense” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. At June 30, 2016 the Company had 8,092 SEUs and 200,000 stock option equivalent units outstanding.

 

The Company also provides cash settled long-term incentive plans for key employees of its three operating segments which were put into place in the fourth quarter of 2015.

The accretion of convertible preferred stock discount in the table above is related to a beneficial conversion feature of the Company’s convertible preferred stock that was fully amortized as of June 30, 2015. Income allocated to participating securities is calculated by allocating a portion of net income attributable to Providence less dividends on convertible stock and accretion of convertible preferred stock discount to the convertible preferred stock holders on a pro-rata as converted basis; however, the convertible preferred stockholders are not required to absorb losses.

12.    Income Taxes

 

 

The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 was 56.9% and 60.9%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was 56.3% and 55.1%, respectively. The effective tax rates for these periods exceeded the United States (the “US”) federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to foreign net operating losses (including equity investment losses) for which the future income tax benefit currently cannot be recognized, significant losses in foreign jurisdictions with tax rates lower than the US rate of 35%, state income taxes and certain non-deductible expenses.

 

13.    Commitments and Contingencies

 

Legal proceedings

 

On June 15, 2015, a putative stockholder class action derivative complaint was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Court”), captioned Haverhill Retirement System v. Kerley et al., C.A. No. 11149-VCL.

 

On May 6, 2016, the plaintiff filed a verified second amended class action and derivative complaint. In addition to the defendants named in the earlier complaint, the second amended complaint names Paul Hastings LLP (“Paul Hastings”) and Bank of America, N.A. (“BofA”) as additional defendants. In addition to previously asserted claims, the second amended complaint purports to assert direct and derivative claims for breach of fiduciary duties against Coliseum Capital Management, LLC (“Coliseum Capital Management”), in its capacity as the controlling stockholder of the Company, in connection with the subordinated note, the Company’s rights offering of preferred stock and the Standby Purchase Agreement with Coliseum Capital Management (the “Financing Transactions”). The second amended complaint also alleges that Paul Hastings breached their fiduciary duties as counsel to the Company in connection with the Financing Transactions and that BofA and Paul Hastings aided and abetted certain of the defendants in breaching their fiduciary duties in connection with the Financing Transactions.  The second amended complaint seeks, among other things, revision or rescission of the terms of the subordinated note and preferred stock, corporate governance reforms, disgorgement of fees paid to RBC Capital Markets, LLC, Paul Hastings and BofA for work relating to the Financing Transactions, unspecified damages and other relief.

 

On May 20, 2016, the Court granted a six-month stay of the proceeding from the date of such order to allow a special litigation committee, created by the Company’s board of directors, sufficient time to investigate, review and evaluate the facts, circumstances and claims asserted in or relating to this action and determine the Company’s response thereto. The special litigation committee’s review of the facts is ongoing.

 

For further information regarding this legal proceeding please see Note 19, Commitments and Contingencies, in the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, and Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies, in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2016.

The Company has indemnified the Standby Purchasers from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses and liabilities relating to or arising out of (i) any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking made by or on behalf of the Company in the Standby Purchase Agreement and (ii) the transactions contemplated by the Standby Purchase Agreement and the 14.0% Unsecured Subordinated Note in aggregate principal amount of $65,500, except to the extent that any such losses, claims, damages, expenses and liabilities are attributable to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of such Standby Purchaser.

 

The Company has also indemnified other third parties from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses and liabilities arising out of or in connection with the Company’s acquisition of CCHN Group Holdings, Inc. (operating under the tradename Matrix, and now included in HA Services) in October 2014 and related financing commitments, except to the extent that any such losses, claims, damages, expenses and liabilities are found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such third parties, or a material breach of such third parties' obligations under the related agreements.

 

The Company recorded $38 and $144 of such indemnified legal expenses related to this case during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, which is included in “General and administrative expenses” in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The Company recorded $1,249 and $1,806 in insured legal expenses related to this case during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, which is included in “General and administrative expenses” in the condensed consolidated statements of income and has been reduced partially by an insurance receivable. The Company has recognized an insurance receivable of $3,022 and $2,210 in “Other receivables” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, which is related to reimbursement of legal costs through insurance proceeds related to this legal proceeding.

 

In addition to the matter described above, in the ordinary course of business, we are a party to various lawsuits. Management does not expect these lawsuits to have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of Providence. We also evaluate other potential contingent matters, including ongoing matters of our acquired companies that arose prior to our date of purchase. Our indemnification agreements or other agreements may not protect us from liability, even where the relevant matter existed prior to our ownership of the acquired companies. As of June 30, 2016, HA Services has certain malpractice claims that arose prior to our date of purchase. We believe it is reasonably possible that a loss has occurred; however, we are not able to reliably estimate the amount of such loss. Although, we do not believe that the aggregate amount of liability reasonably possible with respect to these matters would have a material adverse effect on our financial results, litigation is inherently uncertain and the actual losses incurred in the event that our legal proceedings were to result in unfavorable outcomes could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial performance.

 

Other Indemnifications

 

           The Company has provided certain standard indemnifications in connection with the sale of the Human Services segment effective November 1, 2015. All representations and warranties made by the Company in the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to sell the Human Services segment survive through the 15th month following the closing date. However, certain representations, including tax representations, survive until the expiration of applicable statutes of limitation, and healthcare representations survive until the third anniversary of the closing date. The Company has received indications from the purchaser of the Human Services segment regarding potential indemnification claims.

  

Deferred Compensation Plan

 

The Company has one deferred compensation plan for highly compensated employees of NET Services as of June 30, 2016. The deferred compensation plan is unfunded, and benefits are paid from the general assets of the Company. The total of participant deferrals, which is reflected in “Other long-term liabilities” in the consolidated condensed balance sheets, was $1,379 and $1,247 at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Convertible preferred stock dividends earned by the Standby Purchasers during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 totaled $1,047 and $2,095, respectively. Convertible preferred stock dividends earned by the Standby Purchasers during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 totaled $1,050 and $1,616, respectively.

Service revenue, net. Consolidated service revenue, net for Q2 2016 increased $32,394, or 7.7%, compared to Q2 2015. Revenue for Q2 2016 compared to Q2 2015 included an increase in revenue attributable to NET Services of $38,466. This increase in revenue was partially offset by a decrease in revenue attributable to WD Services of $2,886 and a decrease in revenue of HA Services of $3,132. Excluding the effects of changes in currency exchange rates, consolidated service revenue increased 8.8% in Q2 2016 compared to Q2 2015.

 

Total operating expenses. Consolidated operating expenses for Q2 2016 increased $34,136, or 8.5%, compared to Q2 2015. Operating expenses for Q2 2016 compared to Q2 2015 included an increase in expenses attributable to NET Services of $39,589. This increase in operating expenses was partially offset by a decrease in operating expenses of HA Services of $3,548 and a decrease in operating expenses of Corporate and Other of $1,775.

 

Operating income. Consolidated operating income for Q2 2016 decreased $1,742, or 11.5%, compared to Q2 2015. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in operating income in Q2 2016 as compared to Q2 2015 of WD Services of $2,756 and NET Services of $1,123. These decreases were partially offset by a decrease in Corporate and Other operating loss of $1,721 and an increase in HA Services operating income of $416.

 

Interest expense, net. Consolidated interest expense, net for Q2 2016 decreased $286, or 7.7%, compared to Q2 2015. The decrease was primarily related to a decrease in long-term obligations from $489,550 at June 30, 2015 to $311,950 at June 30, 2016, due to the repayment of debt in conjunction with the sale of the Human Services segment in November 2015.

Equity in net loss of investee. Equity in net loss of investee relates to our investment in Mission Providence. Mission Providence began providing services in July 2015. We record 75% of Mission Providence’s profit or loss.

 

Gain on foreign currency transactions. The foreign currency gain of $775 and $714 for Q2 2016 and Q2 2015, respectively, were primarily due to translation adjustments of our foreign subsidiaries.

 

Provision for income taxes. Our effective tax rate from continuing operations for Q2 2016 and Q2 2015 was 56.9% and 56.3%, respectively. The effective tax rate exceeded the US federal statutory rate of 35% for these periods primarily due to foreign net operating losses (including equity investment losses) for which the future income tax benefit currently cannot be recognized, significant losses in foreign jurisdictions with tax rates lower than the US rate of 35%, state income taxes, and certain non-deductible expenses.

 

Discontinued operations, net of tax. The following table summarizes the major classes of line items included in income from discontinued operations, net of tax, and the percentage of service revenue from discontinued operations, for Q2 2015:

Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests. We have minority interests, some of which are in companies that are currently experiencing losses due to start-up costs. As such we have a net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Service revenue, net. Consolidated service revenue, net for YTD 2016 increased $45,215, or 5.4%, compared to YTD 2015. Revenue for YTD 2016 compared to YTD 2015 included an increase in revenue attributable to NET Services of $74,690. This increase in revenue was partially offset by a decrease in revenue attributable to WD Services of $19,460 and a decrease in revenue of HA Services of $9,972. Excluding the effects of changes in currency exchange rates, consolidated service revenue increased 6.5% in YTD 2016 compared to YTD 2015.

 

Total operating expenses. Consolidated operating expenses for YTD 2016 increased $55,077, or 6.9%, compared to YTD 2015. Operating expenses for YTD 2016 compared to YTD 2015 included an increase in expenses attributable to NET Services of $78,250. This increase in operating expenses was partially offset by a decrease in operating expenses of WD Services of $11,781, a decrease in operating expenses of HA Services of $8,222 and a decrease in operating expenses of Corporate and Other of $3,170.

 

Operating income. Consolidated operating income for YTD 2016 decreased $9,862, or 27.5%, compared to YTD 2015. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in operating income in YTD 2016 as compared to YTD 2015 of WD Services of $7,679, NET Services of $3,560 and HA Services of $1,750. These decreases were partially offset by a decrease in Corporate and Other operating loss of $3,127.

 

Interest expense, net. Consolidated interest expense, net for YTD 2016 decreased $1,846, or 20.7%, compared to YTD 2015. The decrease was primarily related to a decrease in long-term obligations from $489,550 at June 30, 2015 to $311,950 at June 30, 2016, due to the repayment of debt in conjunction with the sale of the Human Services segment in November 2015.

 

Equity in net loss of investee. Equity in net loss of investee relates to our investment in Mission Providence. Mission Providence began providing services in July 2015. We record 75% of Mission Providence’s profit or loss.

 

Gain on foreign currency transactions. The foreign currency gain of $849 and $395 for YTD 2016 and YTD 2015, respectively, were primarily due to translation adjustments of our foreign subsidiaries.

 

Provision for income taxes. Our effective tax rate from continuing operations for YTD 2016 and YTD 2015 was 60.9% and 55.1%, respectively. The effective tax rate exceeded the US federal statutory rate of 35% for these periods primarily due to foreign net operating losses (including equity investment losses) for which the future income tax benefit currently cannot be recognized, significant losses in foreign jurisdictions with tax rates lower than the US rate of 35%, state income taxes, and certain non-deductible expenses.

Service expense for Q2 2016 increased $38,756, or 15.7%, compared to Q2 2015. The increase in service expense was primarily attributable to an increase in purchased transportation services due primarily to higher volume. Purchased transportation services as a percentage of revenue increased slightly, primarily as a result of increased utilization. Additionally, our payroll and related costs increased in Q2 2016 as compared to Q2 2015 primarily due to the hiring of additional executive management members to support growth and operational initiatives and the hiring of other employees to support new contracts and increased call volume associated with increased utilization, and a long-term incentive plan for management put into place in the fourth quarter of 2015. Our other operating expenses also increased in Q2 2016 as compared to Q2 2015 due to volume, although they remained constant as a percentage of revenue.

 

General and administrative expense. General and administrative expenses in Q2 2016 increased $231, or 9.0%, as compared to Q2 2015, due to increased facility costs resulting from the overall growth of our operations. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expense remained constant at approximately 0.9%.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $602 primarily due to the addition of long-lived assets in our expanded call centers. As a percentage of revenue, depreciation and amortization remained constant at approximately 0.9% for Q2 2016 and Q2 2015.

Service revenue, net. Service revenue, net for our HA Services segment in Q2 2016 decreased $3,132, or 5.7%, as compared to Q2 2015. The decrease was attributable to a decline in the average price of comprehensive health assessments (“CHAs”) partially as a result of a different customer mix in Q2 2016 versus Q2 2015. In 2015, pricing was highest in the second quarter; however, this trend is not expected in 2016. Partially offsetting this decrease in pricing was a slight increase in volume of CHAs as volume declines from our largest client were offset by increases from other clients.

Service expense in Q2 2016 decreased $4,230, or 10.3%, compared to Q2 2015 due primarily to decreased headcount and other costs directly associated with CHAs, operational efficiencies in our indirect costs and a reduction in expense due to forfeited long-term awards, which have been reallocated to current employees. These decreased costs were partially offset by increased expense related to a long-term incentive plan for management put into place in the fourth quarter of 2015.

 

General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense in Q2 2016 decreased $98, compared to Q2 2015 due to decreased facility costs.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense in Q2 2016 increased $780, or 10.9%, compared to Q2 2015. Depreciation and amortization includes $6,548 and $6,543 of amortization of intangible assets for Q2 2016 and Q2 2015, respectively. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to depreciation on capital expenditures incurred since June 30, 2015 to support service delivery efficiencies.

Service expense in Q2 2016 decreased $1,235, or 1.5%, compared to Q2 2015. Purchased services decreased in Q2 2016 compared to Q2 2015 primarily as a result of a decline in client referrals in our primary employability program which required less use of outsourced services. Stock-based compensation decreased $1,554 in Q2 2016 as compared to Q2 2015 due to the settlement of outstanding awards in the fourth quarter of 2015 in relation to the separation of two executives. Partially offsetting these decreased costs were increased payroll and related costs in Q2 2016 compared to Q2 2015 due to costs associated with a significant new offender rehabilitation program that began in 2015, $3,437 in termination benefits related to two redundancy plans designed to better align headcount with service delivery volumes and new information technology systems and higher payroll expense in France.

 

General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense in Q2 2016 increased $601, or 7.5%, compared to Q2 2015. This increase was primarily due to facility costs related to the growth associated with our new programs.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense for Q2 2016 increased $504, or 15.1% compared to Q2 2015.

The decrease in YTD 2016 compared to YTD 2015 was primarily related to revenue declines associated with declining referrals and an altered pricing structure under the segment’s primary employability program in the United Kingdom. This decrease was partially offset by the impact of two new contracts in France which began in July 2015, growth of certain spring and summer youth programs in 2016 and the full period impact of a significant new offender rehabilitation program that began in 2015.

Purchased services decreased $9,665 in YTD 2016 compared to YTD 2015 primarily as a result of a decline in client referrals in our primary employability program which required less use of outsourced services. Stock-based compensation decreased $3,093 in YTD 2016 as compared to YTD 2015 due to the settlement of outstanding awards in the fourth quarter of 2015 in relation to the separation of two executives.

 

General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense in YTD 2016 increased $1,247, or 8.2%, compared to YTD 2015. This increase was primarily due to facility costs related to the growth associated with our new programs.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense for YTD 2016 increased $767, or 11.5%, compared to YTD 2015. The increase was primarily attributable to the depreciation of capital expenditures incurred related to new contracts in France as well as the offender rehabilitation program.

Operating loss. Corporate and Other operating loss in Q2 2016 decreased by $1,721, or 22.8%, as compared to Q2 2015, primarily due to decreases in cash settled stock-based compensation expense of $576. Additional decreases in general and administrative expenses related to various items, including accounting costs, professional fees, insurance costs and share settled stock-based compensation expense. Partially offsetting these decreases were increased legal costs.

Operating loss. Corporate and Other operating loss in YTD 2016 decreased by $3,127, or 18.5%, as compared to YTD 2015, primarily due to decreases in cash settled stock-based compensation expense of $1,878. Additional decreases in general and administrative expenses related to various items, including accounting costs, professional fees, insurance costs and share settled stock-based compensation expense. Partially offsetting these decreases were costs resulting from the sale of our Human Services segment, including bonuses approved in 2016 of $983 and contract termination fees of $210, as well as increased legal fees.

 

 Seasonality

 

Our quarterly operating results and operating cash flows normally fluctuate due in part to seasonal factors, uneven demand for services and the timing of new contracts, which impact the amount of revenues earned and expenses incurred. NET Services experiences fluctuations in demand during the summer, winter and holiday seasons. Due to higher demand in the summer months, lower demand during the winter and holiday seasons, and a primarily fixed revenue stream based on a per member, per month payment structure, NET Services normally experiences lower operating margins during the summer season and higher operating margins during the winter and holiday seasons. HA Services has historically, with the exception of the year ended December 31, 2015, experienced higher volumes in the second half of the calendar year. WD Services is impacted by both the timing of commencement and expiration of major contracts. Under many of WD Services’ contracts in new service lines, we invest significant sums of money in personnel, leased office space, purchased or developed technology, and other costs, and generally incur these costs prior to commencing services and receiving payments. This results in significant variability in financial performance and cash flows between quarters and for comparative periods. It is expected that future contracts will be structured in a similar fashion.

 

Liquidity and capital resources 

 

Short-term capital requirements consist primarily of recurring operating expenses, new contract start-up costs, including workforce restructuring costs, commitments to fund investments, and debt service requirements. We expect to meet these requirements through available cash on hand, cash generated from our operating segments, and borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility.

 

Cash flow from operating activities was our primary source of cash in YTD 2016. Our balance of cash and cash equivalents was $68,824 and $84,770 at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, including $20,906 and $37,467 held in foreign countries, respectively. Such cash held in foreign countries is generally used to fund foreign operations, although it may also be used to repay intercompany indebtedness existing between Providence and its foreign subsidiaries.

 

 
33

 

 

We had restricted cash of $16,207 and $20,056 at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, primarily related to contractual obligations and activities of our captive insurance subsidiary. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, our total debt was $311,950 and $304,950, respectively.

 

We may, from time to time, access capital markets to raise equity or debt financing for various business reasons, including required debt payments and acquisitions. The timing, term, size, and pricing of any such financing will depend on investor interest and market conditions, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain any such financing.

 

Cash flows

 

       Operating activities. We generated net cash flows from operating activities of $37,497 for YTD 2016. These cash flows included net income of $6,123. Non-cash items included $17,632 of amortization expense, $11,518 of depreciation expense, $1,947 in stock-based compensation expense, and $4,176 in equity in net loss of investee. In addition, we made estimated income tax payments of $28,337 in relation to the sale of our Human Services segment. Changes in working capital items include the following significant items:

 

 

$44,052 source of cash due to the increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses. This increase was primarily related to a timing difference related to the payment of NET Services’ purchased service provider charges at June 30, 2016 compared to December 31, 2015 as approximately $29,700 of provider payments were pending transfer as of June 30, 2016.

 

 

$26,724 use of cash due to the increase in prepaid expenses and other assets, the majority of which is due to cash payments made for income taxes and insurance policy renewals, as well as prepayments made by WD Services for expenses that will be recognized in conjunction with services provided during the remainder of the year in certain youth summer programs.

 

Investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $26,177 for YTD 2016. During YTD 2016, $23,636 of cash was used to purchase property and equipment primarily related to information technology purchases to support service delivery efficiencies and the growth of our operating segments, and $6,381 was used to fund our equity investment in Mission Providence. These cash outflows were partially offset by a decrease in the restricted cash of the Captive of $3,849.

 

Financing activities. Net cash used in financing activities totaled $26,733 for YTD 2016. During YTD 2016, we borrowed $22,500 under our revolving credit facility and paid scheduled term loan payments of $15,500. During YTD 2016, cash paid for common stock repurchases pursuant to our $70,000 stock repurchase program totaled $32,416 and we paid convertible preferred stock dividends of $2,197.

 

Effect of exchange rate changes on cash. There was a negative effect on cash of $533 for YTD 2016 which resulted primarily from the decline in the value of the British pound, as compared to the US dollar. The June 23, 2016 announcement of the passage of the referendum advising for the exit of the United Kingdom (“UK”) from the European Union (“EU”) adversely impacted global markets, including currencies, and resulted in a decline in the value of the British pound, as compared to the US dollar. Volatility in exchange rates is expected to continue as the UK negotiates its exit from the EU. A weaker British pound compared to the US dollar during a reporting period causes local currency results of our UK operations to be translated into fewer US dollars. In addition, certain balances which are denominated in non-functional currencies were impacted, as they are translated to British pounds.

 

Obligations and commitments

 

Credit facility. We are party to a credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and letter of credit issuer, and the other lenders party thereto. The credit agreement provides us with senior secured credit facilities, which consisted of the following at June 30, 2016:

 

 

$60,000 term loan subject to quarterly amortization payments, which commenced on December 31, 2014, so that the following percentages of the term loan outstanding on the closing date are repaid as follows: 7.5% between December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2015, 10.0% between December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2016, 12.5% between December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2017, 15.0% between December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018 and the remaining balance on August 2, 2018. At June 30, 2016, $51,000 was outstanding.

 

 
34

 

 

 

$250,000 term loan subject to quarterly amortization payments, which commenced on March 31, 2015, so that the following percentages of the term loan outstanding on the closing date are repaid as follows: 7.5% between March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2015, 10.0% between March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2016, 12.5% between March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2017, 15.0% between March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018 and the remaining balance on August 2, 2018. At June 30, 2016, $218,750 was outstanding.

 

 

$240,000 revolving credit facility, including a subfacility of $25,000 for letters of credit. As of June 30, 2016, we had $42,200 of borrowings and seven letters of credit in the amount of $5,756 outstanding under the revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2016, our available credit under the revolving credit facility was $192,044.

 

The credit facility matures on August 2, 2018.

 

Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the loans accrues, at our election, at a per annum rate equal to LIBOR, plus an applicable margin or the base rate plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 2.25% to 3.25% in the case of LIBOR loans and 1.25% to 2.25% in the case of the base rate loans, in each case, based on our consolidated leverage ratio as defined in the credit agreement. The interest rate applied to our term loan at June 30, 2016 was 3.38%. In addition, we are obligated to pay a quarterly commitment fee based on a percentage of the unused portion of each lender’s commitment under the revolving credit facility and quarterly letter of credit fees based on a percentage of the maximum amount available to be drawn under each outstanding letter of credit. The commitment fee and letter of credit fee range from 0.25% to 0.50% and 2.25% to 3.25%, respectively, in each case, based on our consolidated leverage ratio.

 

Our obligations under the credit facilities are guaranteed by substantially all of our present and future wholly owned domestic subsidiaries, excluding certain domestic subsidiaries, which includes our insurance captives. Our obligations under, and each guarantor’s obligations under its guaranty of, the credit facilities are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our respective assets, including a pledge of 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of our domestic subsidiaries, excluding our insurance captives, and 65% of the issued and outstanding stock of our first tier foreign subsidiaries.

 

The credit agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The negative covenants include restrictions on our ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make investments, give guarantees, pay dividends, sell assets, and merge and consolidate. We are subject to financial covenants, including consolidated net leverage and consolidated fixed charge covenants. We were in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2016.

 

Rights offering. We completed a Rights Offering, on February 5, 2015 (the “Rights Offering”) allowing all of the Company’s existing common stock holders the non-transferrable right to purchase their pro rata share of $65,500 of convertible preferred stock at a price equal to $100.00 per share. The convertible preferred stock is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to $39.88, which was the closing price of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on October 22, 2014.

 

Stockholders exercised subscription rights to purchase 130,884 shares of the Company's convertible preferred stock. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Standby Purchase Agreement between Coliseum Capital Partners, L.P., Coliseum Capital Partners II, L.P., Coliseum Capital Co-Invest, L.P. and Blackwell Partners, LLC (collectively, the "Standby Purchasers") and the Company, the remaining 524,116 shares of the Company's preferred stock was purchased by Standby Purchasers at the $100.00 per share subscription price. The Standby Purchasers beneficially owned approximately 94% of our outstanding convertible preferred stock after giving effect to the Rights Offering and the Standby Purchase Agreement. The Company received $65,500 in aggregate gross proceeds from the consummation of the Rights Offering and Standby Purchase Agreement, which it used to repay the related party unsecured subordinated bridge note that was outstanding as of December 31, 2014.

 

Additionally, on March 12, 2015, the Standby Purchasers exercised their right to purchase an additional 150,000 shares of the Company’s convertible preferred stock at a $105.00 per share subscription price.

 

We may pay a noncumulative cash dividend on each share of convertible preferred stock, when, as and if declared by our board of directors, at the rate of five and one-half percent (5.5%) per annum on the liquidation preference then in effect. Following the issue date of the convertible preferred stock, on or before the third business day immediately preceding each fiscal quarter, we will determine our intention whether or not to pay a cash dividend with respect to that ensuing quarter and will give notice of our intention to each holder of convertible preferred stock as soon as practicable thereafter.

 

 
35

 

 

In the event we do not declare and pay a cash dividend, the liquidation preference will be increased to an amount equal to the liquidation preference in effect at the start of the applicable dividend period, plus an amount equal to such then applicable liquidation preference multiplied by eight and one-half percent (8.5%) per annum, computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed from the start of the applicable dividend period to the applicable date of determination.

 

Cash dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year and commenced on the first calendar day of the first January, April, July or October following the date of original issuance of the convertible preferred stock, and, if declared, will begin to accrue on the first day of the applicable dividend period. Paid in kind (“PIK”) dividends, if applicable, will accrue and be cumulative on the same schedule as set forth above for cash dividends and will also be compounded at the applicable annual rate on each applicable subsequent dividend date. PIK dividends are paid upon the occurrence of a liquidation event, conversion or redemption in accordance with the terms of the convertible preferred stock. Cash dividends were declared for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and totaled $2,197.

 

Contingent obligations. We maintain a 409(A) Deferred Compensation Rabbi Trust Plan for highly compensated employees of our NET Services operating segment. Benefits are paid from our general assets under this plan.

 

Reinsurance and Self-Funded Insurance Programs

 

Reinsurance

 

           We reinsure a substantial portion of our automobile, general and professional liability and workers’ compensation costs under reinsurance programs through our wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary, Social Services Providers Captive Insurance Company, or SPCIC. At June 30, 2016, the cumulative reserve for expected losses since inception of these automobile, general and professional liability and workers’ compensation costs reinsurance programs was $1,770, $2,300 and $9,492, respectively. In addition, based on a third-party actuarial report, our expected losses related to workers’ compensation and general and professional liability in excess of our liability under our associated reinsurance programs at June 30, 2016 was $7,454. Further, SPCIC had restricted cash of $15,765 and $19,491 at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, which was restricted to secure the reinsured claims losses of SPCIC under the automobile, general and professional liability and workers’ compensation reinsurance programs.

 

Health Insurance

 

           We offer our NET Services’, HA Services’, certain WD Services’ and corporate employees an option to participate in a self-funded health insurance program. The liability for the self-funded health plan of $1,720 and $2,351 as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, was recorded in “Reinsurance liability and related reserve” in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

There have been no material changes to the Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements discussion previously disclosed in our audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, such as any statements about our confidence, strategies or expectations about revenues, liabilities, results of operations, cash flows, ability to fund operations, profitability, ability to meet financial covenants, contracts or market opportunities, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about our business and our industry. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “may,” “should,” “will,” “could,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “plans,” “expects,” “future,” and “intends” and similar expressions which are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

 

 
36

 

 

The forward-looking statements contained herein are not guarantees of our future performance and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and under Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Some of these risks, uncertainties and other factors are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause our actual results or achievements to differ materially from those expressed, implied or forecasted in the forward-looking statements.

 

All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained above and throughout this report. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement was made. We do not intend to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.

 

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

Foreign currency risk

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we conducted business in 11 countries outside the US. As a result, our cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. During YTD 2016, we used 11 functional currencies and generated approximately $171,871 of our service revenue, net from operations outside the US. If we expand further into international markets, we expect this risk to increase.

 

A 10% adverse change in the foreign currency exchange rate from British pounds to US dollars would have a $12,588 negative impact on consolidated revenue and a $631 positive impact on net income attributable to Providence. A 10% adverse change in other foreign currency exchange rates would not have a significant impact on the Company.

 

We do not currently hedge against the possible impact of currency fluctuations. However, we assess the significance of foreign currency risk on a periodic basis and may implement strategies to manage such risk as we deem appropriate.

 

Interest rate and market risk

 

As of June 30, 2016, we had borrowings under our term loans of $269,750 and borrowings under our revolving line of credit of $42,200. Borrowings under our Credit Agreement accrue interest at LIBOR plus 2.75% per annum as of June 30, 2016. An increase of 1% in the LIBOR rate would cause an increase in interest expense of approximately $6,065 over the remaining term of the Credit Agreement, which matures in 2018.

 

We do not currently hedge against the possible impact of interest rate fluctuations. However, we assess the significance of interest rate and market risk on a periodic basis and may implement strategies to manage such risk as we deem appropriate.

 

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.

 

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

 

The Company maintains systems of disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed under the Exchange Act is processed and reported within the time frames specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, among other things, processes, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the quarterly period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon such evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

 

 
37

 

 

(b) Changes in internal controls

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

(c) Limitations on the effectiveness of controls

 

Control systems, no matter how well conceived and operated, are designed to provide a reasonable, but not an absolute, level of assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. The Company conducts periodic evaluations of its internal controls to enhance, where necessary, its procedures and controls.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

 

 

Item 1.     Legal Proceedings

 

On June 15, 2015, a putative stockholder class action derivative complaint was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Court”), captioned Haverhill Retirement System v. Kerley et al., C.A. No. 11149-VCL. For further information on this proceeding, please see Item 3, Legal Proceedings, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, and Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings, in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2016.

 

On May 6, 2016, the plaintiff filed a verified second amended class action and derivative complaint. In addition to the defendants named in the earlier complaint, the second amended complaint names Paul Hastings LLP (“Paul Hastings”) and Bank of America, N.A. (“BofA”) as additional defendants. In addition to previously asserted claims, the second amended complaint purports to assert direct and derivative claims for breach of fiduciary duties against Coliseum Capital Management, LLC (“Coliseum Capital Management”), in its capacity as the controlling stockholder of the Company, in connection with the subordinated note, the Company’s rights offering of preferred stock and the Standby Purchase Agreement with Coliseum Capital Management (the “Financing Transactions”). The second amended complaint also alleges that Paul Hastings breached their fiduciary duties as counsel to the Company in connection with the Financing Transactions and that BofA and Paul Hastings aided and abetted certain of the defendants in breaching their fiduciary duties in connection with the Financing Transactions.  The second amended complaint seeks, among other things, revision or rescission of the terms of the subordinated note and preferred stock, corporate governance reforms, disgorgement of fees paid to RBC Capital Markets, LLC, Paul Hastings and BofA for work relating to the Financing Transactions, unspecified damages and other relief.

 

On May 20, 2016, the Court granted a six-month stay of the proceeding from the date of such order to allow a special litigation committee, created by the Company’s board of directors, sufficient time to investigate, review and evaluate the facts, circumstances and claims asserted in or relating to this action and determine the Company’s response thereto. The special litigation committee’s review of the facts is ongoing.

 

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

Our business could be adversely affected by the referendum of the UK’s membership in the European Union

 

The announcement of the passage of the referendum advising for the exit of the UK from the EU (referred to as Brexit) could cause disruptions to and create uncertainty surrounding our business, including affecting our relationships with our existing and future payers and employees, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial results and operations. The referendum is non-binding; however, if passed into law, negotiations would commence to determine the future terms of the UK’s relationship with the EU, including the terms of trade between the UK and the EU. The effects of Brexit will depend on any agreements the UK makes to retain access to EU markets either during a transitional period or more permanently. The measures could potentially disrupt the markets we serve and the tax jurisdictions in which we operate and adversely change tax benefits or liabilities in these or other jurisdictions. In addition, Brexit could lead to legal uncertainty and potentially divergent national laws and regulations as the UK determines which EU laws to replace or replicate.

 

The announcement of Brexit caused significant volatility in global stock markets and currency exchange rate fluctuations that resulted in the strengthening of the US dollar against foreign currencies in which we conduct business. The strengthening of the US dollar relative to the British pound and other currencies may adversely affect our results of operations as we translate sales and other results denominated in foreign currency into US dollars for our financial statements. During periods of a strengthening dollar, our reported international sales and earnings could be reduced because foreign currencies may translate into fewer US dollars.

 

 
39

 

 

The announcement and unknown effects of Brexit may also create global economic uncertainty, which may cause our payers to closely monitor their costs and reduce their spending budget on our services. Additionally, changes in governmental personnel may impact our current relationships with our payers. Any of these effects of Brexit, among others, could materially adversely affect our business, business opportunities, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

 

There have been no other material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

On November 4, 2015 our Board of Directors authorized the Company to engage in a common stock repurchase program to repurchase up to $70,000 in aggregate value of the Company’s common stock during the twelve-month period following November 4, 2015. As of June 30, 2016, we have spent $37,544 to purchase 818,054 shares of our common stock under this plan.

 

Dividends

 

We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not plan to pay dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. In addition, our ability to pay dividends on common stock is limited by the terms of our credit agreement. The payment of future cash dividends, if any, will be reviewed periodically by the Board and will depend, among other things, on our financial condition, funds from operations, the level of our capital and development expenditures, any restrictions imposed by present or future debt instruments and changes in federal tax policies, if any.
