Mednax Reports Second Quarter Results

Mednax, Inc. (NYSE: MD), the national medical group specializing in prenatal, neonatal, and pediatric services, today reported earnings from continuing operations of $0.36 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2021. On a non-GAAP basis, Mednax reported Adjusted EPS from continuing operations of $0.41.

For the 2021 second quarter, Mednax reported the following results from continuing operations:

  • Net revenue of $473 million;
  • Income from continuing operations of $31 million; and
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $66 million.

“Strong patient volume trends across the spectrum of our service lines provided the foundation for strong second quarter results,” said Mark S. Ordan, Chief Executive Officer of Mednax. “We believe these trends, combined with our focus on women’s and children’s care, operating efficiency and growth in many areas of pediatric subspecialty services, together put us on a very positive forward path.”

Operating Results from Continuing Operations – Three Months Ended June 30, 2021

Mednax’s net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $473.0 million, compared to $415.4 million for the prior-year period. Mednax’s overall same-unit revenue increased by 13.4 percent, slightly complemented by net acquisition activity.

Same-unit revenue attributable to patient volume increased by 9.5 percent for the 2021 second quarter as compared to the prior-year period. Shown below are year-over-year percentage changes in certain same-unit volume statistics for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

Same-unit revenue from net reimbursement-related factors increased by 3.9 percent for the 2021 second quarter as compared to the prior-year period. The net increase primarily reflects increases in contract administrative fees; modest improvements in managed care contracting; and an approximately 35 basis point increase in the percentage of services reimbursed by commercial and other non-government payors. Partially offsetting these increases, during the 2021 second quarter, the Company did not record any funds under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, as compared to $5.8 million recorded during the 2020 second quarter. This decreased the Company’s same-unit revenue from net reimbursement-related factors by 1.4 percent.

For the 2021 second quarter, practice salaries and benefits expense was $317.0 million, compared to $283.0 million for the prior-year period. This increase reflects comparisons with the temporary reductions in salary expense related to COVID-19 cost mitigation initiatives during the 2020 second quarter, as well as current year increases in variable incentive compensation, based on practice-level revenue and other financial results during the quarter.

For the 2021 second quarter, general and administrative expenses were $71.0 million, as compared to $60.5 million for the prior-year period. This increase primarily reflects higher expenditures related to information-technology initiatives, as well as comparisons with the temporary reductions in salary expense related to COVID-19 mitigation initiatives during the 2020 second quarter. During the second quarters of both 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred approximately $3 million in expenses as part of the Company’s transitional services being provided primarily to the buyer of the Company’s former anesthesiology medical group. Mednax was reimbursed for these transition services expenses and recorded such reimbursement within investment and other income, a component of net non-operating expenses.

During the second quarter of 2021, Mednax completed the sale of a secondary corporate office building, resulting in a gain on sale of $7.3 million. This gain is being excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS.

For the second quarter of 2021, transformational and restructuring related expenses totaled $9.9 million, compared to $10.5 million for the second quarter of 2020. Of the expense recorded during the second quarter of 2021, $6.2 million related to contract termination fees as part of the Company’s transition to a third-party revenue cycle management provider, while the remainder related primarily to third-party consulting fees.

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, which is defined as earnings from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, transformational and restructuring related expenses, and gain on sale of building was $65.5 million for the 2021 second quarter, compared to $55.7 million for the prior-year period. Funds received from the provider relief fund established by the CARES Act impacted Adjusted EBITDA positively by approximately $3 million for the prior-year second quarter.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $8.1 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $6.8 million for the second quarter of 2020.

Investment and other income was $4.2 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $3.6 million for the second quarter of 2020.

Interest expense was $16.9 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $28.3 million for the second quarter of 2020. This decrease primarily reflects the Company’s January 2021 redemption of its $750 million in outstanding principle amount of 5.25% senior notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”).

Mednax generated income from continuing operations of $30.5 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the 2021 second quarter, based on a weighted average 85.9 million shares outstanding. This compares with income from continuing operations of $7.1 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the 2020 second quarter, based on a weighted average 83.7 million shares outstanding.

For the second quarter of 2021, Mednax reported Adjusted EPS from continuing operations of $0.41, compared to $0.26 for the second quarter of 2020. 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, gain on sale of building and discrete tax items as relevant to each period. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 Adjusted EPS also excludes the loss on early extinghuisment of debt.

Operating Results from Continuing Operations – Six Months Ended June 30, 2021

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, Mednax generated revenue from continuing operations of $919.7 million, compared to $856.7 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $111.0 million, compared to $88.8 million for the prior year. Mednax generated income from continuing operations of $35.9 million, or $0.42 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, based on a weighted average 85.7 million shares outstanding, which compares to a loss from continuing operations of $11.4 million, or $0.14 per share, based on a weighted average 83.1 million shares outstanding for the first six months of 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, Mednax reported Adjusted EPS from continuing operations of $0.65, compared to $0.32 in the same period of 2020.

Financial Position and Cash Flow – Continuing Operations

Mednax had cash and cash equivalents of $338.2 million at June 30, 2021, compared to $1.12 billion on December 31, 2020, and net accounts receivable were $248.1 million. As previously disclosed, Mednax used $764 million in cash in January 2021 to redeem its $750 million 2023 Notes, including cash premiums and accrued interest.

During the second quarter of 2021, Mednax generated cash from continuing operations of $70.4 million, compared to $97.5 million during the second quarter of 2020. During the second quarter of 2021, the Company used $9.5 million to fund capital expenditures and $1.2 million to fund one practice acquisition.

At June 30, 2021, Mednax had no outstanding borrowings under its $1.2 billion revolving credit facility and had total debt outstanding of $1.0 billion, consisting solely of its senior notes due 2027, and net debt of $662 million.

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 includes the operating results of the Company’s former anesthesiology and radiology medical groups for relevant periods.
