FRANKLIN, Tenn., Nov. 9, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MedQuist Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq:MEDH), a leading provider of integrated clinical documentation solutions for the U.S. healthcare industry, announced its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

"We are pleased with our financial and operational performance in the third quarter. Our execution was much improved from the second quarter, and our customers and partners are positively responding to our enhanced value proposition," noted Vern Davenport, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MedQuist Holdings. "The execution in our core business reflected continued improvement in our key metrics, a substantial number of visible, competitive wins booked, growth in our ecosystem of strategic partners and successful execution of our MTSO acquisition strategy. We are also changing the nature of the conversations we're having with customers through the acquisition of M*Modal and are proceeding as quickly as possible to convert those conversations into new growth opportunities."   

Operating Results

Net revenues were $327.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared with $306.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.   Net revenues were $108.0 million for the third quarter of 2011 compared with $113.2 million for the third quarter of 2010.

Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, was $84.0 million, or 25.6% of net revenues, compared with $57.8 million, or 18.8% of net revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2011 was $29.8 million, or 27.6% of net revenues, compared with $24.5 million, or 21.7% of net revenues, for the third quarter of 2010.

Adjusted net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, was $51.0 million, or $0.96 per fully diluted share, compared with $37.9 million, or $0.73 per fully diluted share, in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2011 was $18.6 million, or $0.34 per fully diluted share, compared with $17.2 million, or $0.26 per fully diluted share, in the third quarter of 2010.

Net income available to common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, was $28.4 million, or $0.59 per fully diluted share, compared with $4.4 million, or $0.12 per fully diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Net income available to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2011 was $20.6 million, or $0.39 per fully diluted share, compared with $5.2 million, or $0.11 per fully diluted share, reported in the third quarter of 2010. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company had an income tax benefit of $19.2 million. As a result of the purchase accounting for recent acquisitions, the Company's valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets was reduced, which resulted in this non-cash tax benefit.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company incurred acquisition and restructuring costs of $17.5 million, which included restructuring charges of $9.5 million related to a reduction in workforce and a charge related to office closures. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company incurred acquisition and restructuring costs of $6.3 million, which included restructuring charges of $2.1 million related to office closures and the exit of the Company's former CEO. The benefits from these restructuring efforts are expected to be fully realized beginning 2012.

Commenting on the financial results, Ron Scarboro, Chief Financial Officer of MedQuist Holdings, stated, "Gross profit margin improved 290 basis points from the prior quarter and 433 basis points from the prior-year quarter as our improved execution allowed us to utilize the build out of offshore capacity that degraded margins in the second quarter. This contributed to the strong growth in Adjusted EBITDA this quarter and will allow us to accelerate investments in our growth strategies."

Liquidity and Capital Structure

As of September 30, 2011, the Company had $37.5 million in cash and $296.4 million in debt. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, free cash flow was $46.4 million compared with $40.8 million for nine months ended September 30, 2010. Free cash flow for the third quarter of 2011 was $16.8 million compared with $19.2 million in the prior-year period. Capital expenditures for nine months ended September 30, 2011, were $17.0 million compared with $9.6 million in the prior-year period. For the third quarter of 2011, capital expenditures were $6.0 million compared with $2.9 million in the prior-year period.

Accounts receivable were $70.5 million, or 60 days outstanding, as of September 30, 2011, compared with $82.0 million, or 72 days outstanding, as of December 31, 2010.

Capital expenditures: $19 million to $22 million

 2 Includes $13 million of previously disclosed restructuring and integration charges associated with the integration of M*Modal and the exits of the Company's former Chairman and former CEO.

Preliminary Outlook for 2012

Based on the Company's current performance goals for 2011, the Company has established the following preliminary outlook for 2012. As our organizational integration efforts are still in process, the Company intends to provide a more detailed fiscal 2012 forecast when it reports results for the fourth quarter of 2011.

Net Revenues:





The Company expects the percentage increase in full year net revenues to be in the low- to mid-teens when compared
with the midpoint of the 2011 performance goals. Growth in the core business is expected to come from new sales efforts
targeted at both same-store and market share gains; additional revenue growth from the integration of M*Modal in our
transcription platforms; and the acquisition of revenue through the MTSO roll up strategy. Additionally, the Company will
have the full year benefit from the acquisition of M*Modal as well as growth opportunities created from the commercialization
of its technologies. 
   
Adjusted EBITDA:



The Company expects the percentage increase in full year Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of mid to high single digits
when compared with the midpoint of the 2011 performance goals. The timing of certain operating expenses, including
investments in the sales force and in commercialization of our technologies, is expected to be weighted toward the first
half of the year. The benefits from these investments are expected to begin to be realized in the second half of the year. 
   
Adjusted Net Income:


The Company expects to issue a range of Adjusted Net Income per fully diluted share for 2012 when it reports earnings
results for the fourth quarter of 2011. The Company's current tax provision (cash taxes) for 2012 is expected to have an
effective income tax rate of 9% to 15%. 
   
Free Cash Flow:


The Company expects to continue to generate significant positive free cash flow for the year sufficient to fund its growth
strategies, including the MTSO roll up strategy. The timing of investments during the year is expected to create
quarter-to-quarter variability.

"We are on track to deliver on our key objectives for 2011," Mr. Davenport added. "The sales and implementation teams are competing and executing well, and the integration of M*Modal is on schedule and already having a direct impact on new business generation. Customer recognition of the value we are now bringing to accelerate their EHR adoption for meaningful use, manage their transition to ICD-10 and support clinical decisions has validated our strategy and exceeded my initial expectations. Our leadership in the transcription outsourced market and our innovative technologies position us well for the continued consolidation of the transcription market and for operational and financial success in 2012."

Forward-Looking Statements

Information provided and statements contained in this press release that are not purely historical, such as statements regarding our 2011 financial and operating performance, our preliminary 2012 outlook, the timing of the benefits from restructuring efforts from the MedQuist Inc. integration, the timing of the investments in our growth strategies, our position for the consolidation of the transcription market and the timing of a detailed 2012 forecast, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements only speak as of the date of this press release and the Company assumes no obligation to update the information included in this press release. Statements made in this press release that are forward-looking in nature may involve risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, readers are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict, including, without limitation, specific factors discussed herein and in other releases and public filings made by the Company (including filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission). Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, expectations may prove to have been materially different from the results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Unless otherwise required by law, the Company also disclaims any obligation to update its view of any such risks or uncertainties or to announce publicly the result of any revisions to the forward-looking statements made in this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, results provided throughout this document, MedQuist Holdings Inc. has provided certain non-GAAP financial measures to help evaluate the results of our performance. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP financial measures, are useful to both management and investors in analyzing the Company's ongoing business and operating performance. The Company believes that providing the non-GAAP information to investors, in addition to the GAAP presentation, allows investors to view the Company's financial results in the way that management views financial results. The tables attached to this press release include a reconciliation of these historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

We also present Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income on a forward-looking basis as part of our performance goals for fiscal 2011 and 2012. We are unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures because management cannot predict, with sufficient reliability, contingencies relating to potential changes in tax valuation allowances, potential changes to customer accommodation accruals, potential restructuring impacts, contingencies related to past and future acquisitions, and changes in fair values of our derivative instruments, all of which are difficult to estimate primarily due to dependencies on future events.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a metric used by management to measure operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to MedQuist Holdings Inc., as applicable, plus net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, income taxes, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization, cost (benefit) of legal proceedings, settlements, and accommodations, acquisition and restructuring charges, discontinued operations, equity in income of affiliated company, share based compensation and other non-cash awards, realized gain on settlement of foreign currency hedges,  excluding other (income) expense. The realized gain on settlement of foreign currency hedges is a component of other (income) expense, as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Share-based compensation and other non-cash awards represents only the portion of such expense that is a component of selling, general and administrative expense, as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, as it excludes such expense attributable to the Company's restructuring actions.

We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure because we believe it facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period and company to company by backing out the following:

  • potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting interest expense, net), tax positions (such as the impact on periods or companies for changes in effective tax rates), the age and book depreciation of fixed assets (affecting depreciation expense);
  • the impact of non-cash charges; and
  • the impact of acquisition and integration related charges, restructuring charges, and certain unusual or nonrecurring items.

Because Adjusted EBITDA facilitates internal comparisons of operating performance on a more consistent basis, we also use Adjusted EBITDA in measuring our performance relative to that of our competitors. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as measures of our profitability or liquidity. We understand that although Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, lenders and others in their evaluation of companies, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital  needs;
  • Although depreciation is a non-cash charge, the assets being depreciated will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
  • Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Free Cash Flow

Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined by the Company as Adjusted EBITDA less consolidated interest expense (net of non-cash interest), less capital expenditures (including capitalized software development costs), and less tax provision (net of deferred tax provision). Management believes that utilization of Free Cash Flow is an important non-GAAP measure of the Company's ability to convert operating results into cash.

Adjusted Net Income

Adjusted Net Income, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined by the Company as Adjusted EBITDA less amortization expense for capitalized intangible assets (excluding acquired intangibles), less interest expense (net of non-cash interest), and less current tax provision. We measure Adjusted Net Income based on Proforma Shares Outstanding (see below). Management believes that utilization of Adjusted Net Income is an important non-GAAP financial measure of our normalized operating results.

Proforma Shares Outstanding

For purposes of evaluating our results on per-share metrics, many of our computations utilize proforma share computations. Our measure of proforma shares includes our Basic and Diluted share computations utilized for GAAP purposes, plus our estimate of the impacts of common stock equivalents which consists of stock options, restrictive stock issuable to certain key employees, shares issued to former principal stockholders, shares issued to former principal stockholders and shares issued in our initial public offering, our private exchange offer, our public exchange offer and our short-form merger with MedQuist Inc.

Total Billed Equivalent Line Counts

Total billed equivalent line counts are defined as the number of lines and line equivalents billed for the period, as defined by a customer's contract, and includes volume transcribed or edited on the Company's transcription platforms, as well as technology volume (speech recognition).
