Pediatrix Medical Group Reports Third Quarter Results

Pediatrix Medical Group, Inc. (NYSE: MD), the nation’s leading provider of highly specialized health care for women, children and babies, today reported earnings from continuing operations of $0.35 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2022. On a non-GAAP basis, Pediatrix reported Adjusted EPS from continuing operations of $0.40.

For the 2022 third quarter, Pediatrix reported the following results from continuing operations:

  • Net revenue of $490 million;
  • Income from continuing operations of $29 million; and
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $58 million.

“We are disappointed in our third-quarter operating results, which reflected operational challenges in billing and collections and modest headwinds in volumes and payor mix,” said Mark S. Ordan, Chief Executive Officer of Pediatrix Medical Group. “We have taken significant steps to address what we have identified as priority areas for enhanced resources and processes in revenue cycle management. We have also executed internal plans that will benefit our corporate cost structure beginning in the fourth quarter. Combined, we intend for these steps to position us for improving revenue and bottom-line performance. To assist our efforts, R1, as our revenue cycle partner, is providing enhanced support in a variety of ways to help effectuate our expected improvement, which is incorporated in our updated outlook for 2022 Adjusted EBITDA.”

Operating Results from Continuing Operations – Three Months Ended September 30, 2022

Pediatrix’s net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $489.9 million, compared to $492.9 million for the prior-year period. Pediatrix’s overall same-unit revenue decreased by 3.2 percent, partially offset by revenue growth driven by net acquisition activity.

Same-unit revenue from net reimbursement-related factors declined by 3.5 percent for the 2022 third quarter as compared to the prior-year period. This net decrease primarily reflects the impact of certain revenue cycle management transition activities and a modest decline in the percentage of services reimbursed by commercial and other non-government payors compared to the prior-year period, partially offset by increases in contract and administrative fees. The percentage of services reimbursed by commercial and other non-government payors declined by approximately 120 basis points compared to the prior-year period.

Same-unit revenue attributable to patient volume increased by 0.3 percent for the 2022 third quarter as compared to the prior-year period, with growth in other pediatric services, primarily newborn nursery, maternal-fetal medicine, pediatric cardiology and other pediatric services partially offset by declines in neonatology services. Shown below are year-over-year percentage changes in certain same-unit volume statistics for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. (Note: figures in the below table reflect contributions only to net patient service revenue and exclude other contributions to total same-unit revenue, including contract and administrative fees.)

For the 2022 third quarter, practice salaries and benefits expense was $342.9 million, compared to $328.8 million for the prior-year period. This increase primarily reflects same-unit clinical compensation increases, as well as salary increases related to acquisitions completed over the past year, partially offset by decreases in incentive compensation expense.

For the 2022 third quarter, general and administrative expenses were $57.9 million, as compared to $66.9 million for the prior-year period. The net decrease of $9.0 million is primarily related to cost reductions from net staffing reductions, lower incentive compensation expense based on operating results and a net savings in revenue cycle management expenses.

For the third quarter of 2022, transformational and restructuring related expenses totaled $1.0 million, compared to $4.2 million for the third quarter of 2021. The expense recorded during the third quarter of 2022 related predominantly to contract terminations and modest consulting fees.

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, which is defined as earnings from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and transformational and restructuring related expenses, was $58.3 million for the 2022 third quarter, compared to $73.4 million for the prior-year period.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $9.0 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $8.2 million for the third quarter of 2021.

Investment and other income was $0.6 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $1.7 million for the third quarter of 2021. This decrease primarily reflects the reimbursement received in the prior year period related to the transition services provided to the buyer of one of the Company’s divested medical groups.

Interest expense was $9.5 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $17.6 million for the third quarter of 2021. This decrease reflects lower total debt and lower interest rates from the Company’s previously-disclosed refinancing transactions completed during the first quarter of 2022.

Pediatrix generated income from continuing operations of $28.8 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, for the 2022 third quarter, based on a weighted average 82.8 million shares outstanding. This compares with income from continuing operations of $31.8 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, for the 2021 third quarter, based on a weighted average 86.1 million shares outstanding. The decrease in weighted average shares outstanding is related to the share repurchases completed during 2022.

For the third quarter of 2022, Pediatrix reported Adjusted EPS from continuing operations of $0.40, compared to $0.46 for the third quarter of 2021. For these periods, Adjusted EPS from continuing operations is defined as diluted income from continuing operations per common and common equivalent share excluding non-cash amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, transformational and restructuring related expenses, and discrete tax events.

Operating Results from Continuing Operations – Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, Pediatrix generated revenue from continuing operations of $1.46 billion, compared to $1.41 billion for the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $174.5 million, compared to $184.4 million for the prior year. Pediatrix generated income from continuing operations of $38.6 million, or $0.45 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, based on a weighted average 84.8 million shares outstanding, which compares to income from continuing operations of $67.7 million, or $0.79 per share, based on a weighted average 85.8 million shares outstanding for the first nine months of 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, Pediatrix reported Adjusted EPS from continuing operations of $1.20, compared to $1.11 in the same period of 2021.

Financial Position and Cash Flow – Continuing Operations

Pediatrix had cash and cash equivalents of $8.7 million at September 30, 2022, compared to $387.4 million on December 31, 2021, and net accounts receivable were $294.4 million. As previously disclosed, during the first quarter of 2022 the Company used cash on hand, together with proceeds from the new issuance of debt, to redeem its $1.0 billion in outstanding principal amount of 6.25% Senior Notes due 2027 and pay related fees and expenses.

For the third quarter of 2022, Pediatrix generated cash from continuing operations of $88.4 million, compared to $67.2 million for the third quarter of 2021. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company used $21.5 million to fund the repurchase of 1.1 million shares under the Company’s previously announced repurchase program and $6.9 million to fund capital expenditures.

At September 30, 2022, Pediatrix had total debt outstanding of $739 million, consisting of its $400 million in 5.375% Senior Notes due 2030; $244 million in borrowings under its Term A Loan; and $95 million in borrowings under its revolving line of credit.

Non-GAAP Measures

A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EPS from continuing operations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 is provided in the financial tables of this press release.

2022 Outlook

Pediatrix anticipates that its 2022 Adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, will be in a range of $240 million to $245 million. This outlook reflects Adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of 2022 of $174.5 million.
