Management has taken a number of steps to reduce costs, stem operating losses incurred in March and April and increase profits subsequently.  The Company continues to experience lower physical therapy patient volumes and revenues however it is improving.  The Company’s physical therapy daily patient volumes in April declined to as low as 45% of normal. For the month of April average visits per day per clinic were 16.4, in May that increased to 18.6 and in June rose to an average of 21.8 visits per day per clinic. The Company’s industrial injury prevention business has been less effected by the pandemic and is currently running at approximately 90% of its normal volume of activity.

Medicare Accelerated and Advance Payment Program (“MAAPP Funds”)

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the federal government approved the CARES Act. The CARES Act allowed for qualified healthcare providers to receive advanced payments under the existing MAAPP Funds during the COVID-19 pandemic. Under this program, healthcare providers could choose to receive advanced payments for future Medicare services provided. The Company applied for and received approval from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) in April 2020. The Company recorded these payments as a liability until all performance obligations have been met as the payments were made on behalf of patients before services were provided. Currently, MAAPP funds received will be applied to future Medicare billings commencing in August 2020, with all such remaining amounts required to be repaid by November 2020. Beginning November 2020, any unpaid balance will begin accruing interest. Included in cash and cash equivalents and accrued liabilities at June 30, 2020 is $12.9 million of MAAPP Funds.

OPERATING RESULTS AND ADJUSTED EBITDA
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
(unaudited)

The following tables provide detail of the diluted earnings per share computation and reconcile net income attributable to USPH shareholders calculated in accordance with GAAP to Operating Results and Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes providing Operating Results and Adjusted EBITDA to investors is useful information for comparing the Company's period-to-period results.   

Operating Results, a non-GAAP measure, equals net income attributable to USPH shareholders per the consolidated statement of net income plus charges incurred for the closure costs and CFO search less gain on sale of partnership interest and clinics, all net of tax.  The earnings per share from Operating Results also excludes the impact of the revaluation of redeemable non-controlling interest.  In accordance with current accounting guidance, the revaluation of redeemable non-controlling interest, net of tax, is included in the earnings per basic and diluted share calculation, although it is not included in net income but charged directly to retained earnings.

Management uses Operating Results, which eliminates certain items described above that can be subject to volatility and unusual costs, as one of the principal measures to evaluate and monitor financial performance period over period.  Management believes that Operating Results is useful information for investors to use in comparing the Company's period-to-period results as well as for comparing with other similar businesses since most do not have mandatorily redeemable instruments and therefore have different liability and equity structures.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to USPH shareholders before interest income, interest expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization, equity-based awards compensation expense and write-off of goodwill related to clinic closures.   Management believes reporting Adjusted EBITDA is useful information for investors in comparing the Company’s period-to-period results as well as comparing with similar businesses which report adjusted EBITDA as defined by their company.

Operating Results and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Results should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute for, net income attributable to USPH shareholders presented in the consolidated financial statements.

See table on next page.
