Foundation HealthCare Reports First Quarter 2014 Financial Results


OKLAHOMA CITY, May 15, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Foundation Healthcare, Inc. (OTCQB:FDNH), which focuses on the development and management of surgical hospitals and related ancillary services, today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

Highlights include:

  • Revenue of $22.1 million for the quarter; an 18% increase from the first quarter of 2013
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $0.9 million for the 2014 first quarter compared to $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2013
  • Cash on hand of $4.0 million as of March 31, 2014

"Although the first quarter of 2014 was negatively impacted by severe weather at several of our facilities, we are pleased to announce an 18% increase in revenue for the first quarter 2014 when compared to first quarter 2013. We continue to focus on growing surgical volumes at our existing hospitals as well as look for opportunities to take controlling positions in our minority-owned hospitals as well as new hospital investment opportunities," stated Stanton Nelson, CEO of Foundation Healthcare, Inc.

"In addition to growing volumes at our existing hospitals, we are actively pursuing opportunities to add ancillary services through hospital outpatient departments (HOPD) at our hospitals including outpatient surgery centers, imaging, oncology and pain management," added Mr. Nelson.

First Quarter 2014 Financial Results:

Net revenues in the first quarter of 2014 were $22.1 million, up from $18.7 million in the first quarter of 2013. Our net revenues are composed of patient services, management fees from affiliates, equity in earnings of affiliates and other revenue less our provision for doubtful accounts. Patient services revenue increased $3.6 million, or 23%, to $19.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared with $15.9 million in the first quarter of 2013. The increase was primarily due to:

  • An increase in both outpatient surgical cases and inpatient spine cases resulted in an increase in patient service revenue of $1.5 million at EEPMC and;
  • An increase in surgical case volume and the average reimbursement per surgical case at Foundation Bariatric Hospital of San Antonio ("FBH SA") which was driven by an increase in spine and orthopedic cases resulted in an increase in patient services revenue of $2.1 million.

Operating expenses increased $3.7 million or 19% to $23.4 million from $19.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared with the first quarter of 2013. The increase in other operating expenses was primarily due to stock compensation expense, expenses associated with the legacy Graymark Healthcare, Inc. business that are not included in the first quarter of 2013, increased supply costs related to higher surgical volume and increased legal and professional fees.

Our operations resulted in a net loss attributable to Foundation Healthcare common stock of $1.9 million during the first quarter of 2014, compared to net loss of $0.3 million during the first quarter of 2013.

Adjusted EBITDA was $893,973 for the 2014 first quarter compared to $151,190 in the first quarter of 2013.

As of March 31, 2014, cash and cash equivalents totaled $4.0 million, compared to $4.2 million at December 31, 2013.

Reg G disclaimer – reconciling GAAP Net Income with EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

Foundation is providing EBITDA information, which is defined as net income plus interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense and earnings or losses from discontinued operations, and Adjusted EBITDA which is defined as EBITDA plus impairment charges minus extraordinary gain, net of tax. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are a compliment to our GAAP results. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are commonly used by management and investors as a measure of leverage capacity, debt service ability and liquidity. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not considered a measure of financial performance under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and the items excluded from EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing our financial performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or superior to, such GAAP measures as net income, cash flows provided by or used in operating, investing or financing activities or other financial statement data presented in our consolidated financial statements as an indicator of financial performance or liquidity. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures are provided in the news release in the accompanying tables. Since EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not a measure determined in accordance with GAAP and is susceptible to varying calculations, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
