ENVISION HEALTHCARE REPORTS SOLID RESULTS FOR 2018 SECOND QUARTER

Sale of Envision to KKR on Track for 2018 Fourth Quarter Closing

NASHVILLE, TN - (August 6, 2018) - Envision Healthcare Corporation (“Envision”) (NYSE: EVHC) today reported solid financial results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018.

Highlights for the second quarter of 2018 include:


•	Net revenue of $2.07 billion;


•	Net loss attributable to common stockholders of $1.84 billion, or $15.21 per share;


•	Adjusted net earnings of $113.1 million, or $0.92 per diluted share; and


•	Adjusted EBITDA of $246.7 million.

Envision’s net loss for the second quarter of 2018 included a non-cash impairment charge of $1.98 billion that affected its Physician Services’ segment goodwill. The goodwill adjustment resulted from the establishment of fair value based on the definitive agreement for Envision to be acquired at a price of $46 per share, plus assumption or repayment of all outstanding debt, by global investment firm KKR. That agreement was entered into June 10, 2018, and the transaction is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2018.

A reconciliation of all non-GAAP financial results to the comparable GAAP measure is provided on page 6 of this press release.

“We are encouraged by the progress our organization is making on a number of initiatives to improve operational efficiencies at Envision, and these efforts are reflected in our results for the second quarter of 2018,” said Christopher A. Holden, President and Chief Executive Officer of Envision. “Specific accomplishments include reduction of corporate overhead expense as a percent of revenue, and more effective engagement of our clinical resources, particularly premium compensation.

“Our organization remains committed to our Patients First Initiative, which was launched earlier this year, and builds on the leadership position we have established to move the overwhelming majority of our services to in-network status and by supporting the critical safety net services delivered to patients by our facility-based providers and health system partners across the country.”

Reporting Segments

Envision reports two operating segments: Physician Services, which includes facility-based and post-acute services, and Ambulatory Services.

Physician Services

Net revenues for Physician Services were $1.74 billion for the second quarter of 2018, an increase of 7.1% from the prior-year period. Revenue growth was driven by contributions of 4.7% from acquisitions, 1.2% from net new contracts and 1.2% from same contracts. Physician Services’ net revenue growth from new contracts consisted of 7.9% growth from contract additions, partially offset by contract terminations of 6.7%.

On a same-contract base, net revenues grew by 1.5% in the second quarter of 2018 when compared to the prior-year period. Same-contract patient encounters grew by 1.1%, while revenue per patient encounter increased by 0.4%.

Physician Services Adjusted EBITDA was $182.4 million for the second quarter of 2018, which compares with $193.3 million for the prior-year period. Physician Services results were impacted by higher-than-anticipated malpractice expense related to both settlement of prior-year claims as well as increased accruals for claims related to those same periods. Physician Services benefited from operational improvement efforts, including lower supply costs and other operating expenses for the second quarter of 2018, when compared with the prior-year period. Physician Services’ margin was 10.5%, which compares with 11.9% for the prior-year period.

Ambulatory Services

Net revenues for the second quarter of 2018 were $328.0 million, a 3.0% increase from $318.5 million for the prior-year period.

Same-center revenue grew by 2.9%, which included volume growth of 1.5% and rate growth of 1.4%. Surgery centers deconsolidated and disposed in the 12 months ended June 30, 2018, contributed incremental revenues of $8.4 million for the second quarter of 2017.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2018 was $64.3 million, an increase of 6.1% from the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 19.6% in the 2018 second quarter, a 60-basis point improvement from the prior-year period.

Liquidity

Envision had cash and cash equivalents of $593.5 million and had no amounts outstanding under its asset-based lending facility at the end of the second quarter of 2018. At June 30, 2018, Envision had total debt outstanding of $4.72 billion. The Company’s ratio of total net debt at June 30, 2018, to trailing 12 months EBITDA, as defined under the Company’s credit agreement, was 4.5 times.

Envision’s cash flow from operations was impacted by tax payments made during the second quarter of 2018 primarily related to the divestiture of its Medical Transportation business. That transaction was completed earlier in 2018. Cash flow from operations less distributions to noncontrolling interests, and when excluding transaction costs and the divestiture-related tax payment, was $212.8 million.

During the second quarter of 2018, Envision invested $69.0 million in acquisitions, and maintenance capital expenditures were $33.5 million. During the quarter, Envision completed four acquisitions, including two physician group practice and two ambulatory services transactions. One of those acquisitions was completed at the end of the second quarter, and was funded early in the third quarter of 2018.

Acquisition of Envision by KKR

On June 10, 2018, Envision entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by investment funds affiliated with the global investment firm KKR in an all-cash transaction.

On July 19, 2018, the Federal Trade Commission granted early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act. Early termination of the waiting period satisfies one of the conditions of the closing of the sale of Envision. The closing remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary conditions, including approval by Envision’s stockholders at its 2018 annual meeting of stockholders, which will be held on Tuesday, September 11, 2018, in Nashville, TN.

Envision expects the transaction to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2018.

Footnotes to Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures to GAAP Measures

(1)

We believe the calculation of adjusted net earnings from continuing operations per diluted share attributable to common stockholders provides a better measure of our ongoing performance and provides better comparability to prior periods because it excludes discontinued operations, the gains or loss from deconsolidations, net of noncontrolling interests, which are non-cash in nature, impairment charges, transaction and integration costs, including associated debt extinguishment costs and deferred financing write-off, and acquisition-related amortization expense, changes in contingent purchase price consideration, purchase accounting adjustments related to mergers and acquisitions, the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, share-based compensation expense, and unrealized gain or loss on equity securities. Adjusted net earnings from continuing operations per diluted share attributable to common stockholders should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and the items excluded from it is a significant component in understanding and assessing financial performance. Because adjusted net earnings from continuing operations per diluted share attributable to common stockholders is not a measurement determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, it may not be comparable as presented to other similarly titled measures of other companies. For purposes of calculating adjusted earnings per share, we utilize the if-converted method to determine the number of diluted shares outstanding. In periods where utilizing the if-converted method is anti-dilutive, the mandatory convertible preferred stock will not be included in the calculation of diluted shares outstanding.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, net, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, transaction and integration costs, share-based compensation, impairment charges, debt extinguishment costs, gain or loss on deconsolidations, net of noncontrolling interests, changes in contingent purchase price consideration, purchase accounting adjustments related to mergers and acquisitions, the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, discontinued operations and unrealized gain or loss on equity securities. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. Items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is an analytical indicator used by management and the health care industry to evaluate company performance, allocate resources and measure leverage. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net earnings, cash flows from operations, investing or financing activities, or other financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial statements as indicators of financial performance. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Net earnings from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles that is most comparable to Adjusted EBITDA, as defined.
