FORT MYERS, Fla., March 13, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Radiation Therapy Services Holdings, Inc ("Radiation Therapy" or "the Company"), a leading operator of radiation therapy centers, announced today its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2012.

Dr. Daniel Dosoretz, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "The fourth quarter of 2012 was challenging, with greater than expected declines in the treatment of prostate cancer. While we expect these declines to persist through the first half of 2013, we believe the worst is behind us, as we have seen the declines in treatment volumes decelerating in the first two months of 2013. Importantly, we implemented a number of initiatives in 2012 that will strengthen our leadership position in 2013 and enable the Company to meaningfully offset the expected headwinds of prostate treatment declines and reimbursement rate reductions under the 2013 Physician Fee schedule." 

He continued, "To summarize, our mitigation efforts are well under way, with our projected cost savings largely locked in for 2013. With regards to managed care pricing initiatives, we continue to have success renegotiating more favorable rates and deal terms, as well as continued decoupling with prevailing Medicare methodology in our key markets. We continue to drive incremental patient volumes through investments in our integrated cancer care ("ICC") strategy, physician liaison programs and Value Added Services agreements. The increase in non-prostate volumes for both the full year and the fourth quarter of 2012 reflect the success of these initiatives. In November, we closed a Value Added Services agreement with Park Ridge Health in North Carolina and have similar opportunities in the pipeline." 

"Medical Developers remains another key driver of growth and has continued to perform well.  Our investment pipeline is robust in the rapidly growing Latin American market, which will also help to further diversify our revenue stream and offset rate reductions in the U.S.  Lastly, we continue to see increasing physician interest in aligning with our organization as the pressures of the healthcare delivery system persist in the physician community. Our efforts to attract key talent and align ourselves with hospitals that need our expertise and sophisticated know-how, including through our Value Added Services offerings, will continue to bode well for our growth and expansion plans," he concluded.

Fourth Quarter 2012 Results

Total pro forma revenues for the fourth quarter of 2012 were $168.8 million, compared to $171.2 million in revenues in the same quarter of 2011. The decrease in revenue was principally due to the volume declines in the treatment of prostate cancer and lower reimbursement rates partly offset by the benefit of previously acquired or newly established integrated cancer care practices, the impact of strategic tuck-in acquisitions made in California, North Carolina, Florida and Argentina, the Value Added Services agreement with the North Broward Hospital District and organic growth from Medical Developers.

Domestic same practice treatments per day decreased 1.9% in the fourth quarter of 2012, reflecting volume declines in the treatment of prostate cancer, partly offset by increased referrals from the Company's physician liaison program and integrated cancer care model and the impact of the North Broward Value Added Services agreement, compared to the fourth quarter of 2011. Domestic same practice therapy revenue per treatment decreased 6.4% from the fourth quarter of 2011, due to reductions in the reimbursement rate announced in the CMS 2012 Physician Fee Schedule, partially offset by continued improvements in managed care pricing. 

Total RVUs per day at same practice domestic freestanding centers, decreased 10.1% in the fourth quarter versus the same period of the prior year due to reductions in the reimbursement rate included in the CMS 2012 Physician Fee Schedule, as well as volume declines in the treatment of prostate cancer.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and other non-cash and pro forma items ("Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA") in the fourth quarter of 2012 was $24.2 million, or 14.3% of total pro forma revenues, compared to $28.8 million, or 16.8% of total pro forma revenues, in the fourth quarter of 2011. Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA margins declined in the current quarter versus the prior year period primarily due to volume declines in the treatment of prostate cancer, reductions in the Medicare reimbursement rate, the growth and expanded development activity in establishing integrated cancer care practices, and investments made in key personnel, offset by improvements in managed care pricing and a reduction in bad debt. A reconciliation of net loss attributable to Radiation Therapy Services Holdings, Inc., determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles to Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA and total revenues, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, to total pro forma revenues for the quarters ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 is included in the attached supplemental financial information.

Income tax expense in the fourth quarter of 2012 was $1.3 million, compared to an income tax benefit of $20.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. The net loss for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $33.2 million, compared to a net loss of $111.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. The net loss in the fourth quarters of 2012 and 2011included impairment charges of $11.1 million and $123.1 million, respectively, attributable to revisions of the Company's financial forecasts largely as a result of reductions in reimbursement that resulted in a write down of goodwill, trade name and an investment in a joint venture to their implied fair values, as well as continued lagging economic conditions in the U.S.

Full Year 2012 Results

Total pro forma revenues for the full year ended December 31, 2012 were $700.4 million, an increase of 5.1% compared to $666.5 million in revenues for the full year 2011. The increase in revenue was principally due to the benefit of previously acquired or newly established integrated cancer care practices, the impact of strategic tuck-in acquisitions made in California, North Carolina, Florida and Argentina, the Value Added Services agreement with the North Broward Hospital District and organic growth from Medical Developers, partly offset by volume declines in the treatment of prostate cancer and reductions in reimbursement rates.

Domestic same practice treatments per day increased 2.0% for the full year 2012, due to increased referrals from the Company's physician liaison program and integrated cancer care model and the impact of the North Broward Value Added Services agreement, offset by volume declines in the treatment of prostate cancer care, compared to the full year 2011. Domestic same practice therapy revenue per treatment decreased 3.9% compared to 2011, due to reductions in the reimbursement rate announced in the CMS 2012 Physician Fee Schedule which were partially offset by improved managed care pricing. 

Total RVUs per day at same practice domestic freestanding centers, excluding the impact of the terminated Las Vegas capitated contracts, decreased 6.3% for the full year 2012 due to reductions in the reimbursement rate included in the CMS 2012 Physician Fee Schedule, as well as volume declines in the treatment of prostate cancer.

Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2012 was $104.7 million, or 14.9% of total pro forma revenues, compared to $122.8 million, or 18.4% of total pro forma revenues for the full year 2011. Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA margins declined in 2012 versus 2011 primarily due to volume declines in the treatment of prostate cancer, reductions in the Medicare reimbursement rate, the impact of the termination of capitated contracts in Las Vegas, NV, the growth and expanded development in integrated care practices, and investments made in key personnel. In addition, certain cost reduction activities were deferred in order to incorporate the impact of the 2013 Physician Fee Schedule. A reconciliation of net loss attributable to Radiation Therapy Services Holdings, Inc., determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles to Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA and total revenues, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, to total pro forma revenues for the full years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 is included in the attached supplemental financial information.

Income tax expense for the full year 2012 was $4.5 million, compared to an income tax benefit of $25.4 million in 2011. The net loss for the full year 2012 was $151.1 million, compared to a net loss of $349.9 million for the full year 2011. The net loss for the full years 2012 and 2011 included impairment charges of $81.0 million and $360.6 million, respectively, attributable to revisions of the Company's financial forecasts largely as a result of reductions in reimbursement that resulted in a write down of goodwill, trade name and an investment in a joint venture to their implied fair values, as well as continued depressed economic conditions in the U.S.

Recent Developments

On November 1, 2012, CMS published its Final Rule for the 2013 Physician Fee Schedule (PFS), which calls for an overall rate reduction of 7% for radiation oncology, including a 15% reduction in the reimbursement for IMRT treatments and a 20% reduction in the reimbursement for stereotactic radiosurgery treatments. The rate reductions in the Final Rule were significantly lower than the proposed reductions published in the Preliminary Rule on July 6, 2012. Radiation Therapy expects these reductions in reimbursement to impact RVUs for Medicare and Medicare-linked revenues by approximately 9.1%, which is expected to impact revenue by approximately $20 million and EBITDA by approximately $16 million for the full year 2013. The Company expects to largely mitigate the impact of the reduction in reimbursement through cost reductions and improved managed care pricing, as well as growth through expansion and accretive acquisitions.

We believe the Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information about our financial performance to investors, lenders, financial analysts and rating agencies since these groups have historically used EBITDA-related measures in the healthcare industry, along with other measures, to estimate the value of a company, to make informed investment decisions, to evaluate a company's leverage capacity and its ability to meet its debt service requirements.  Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the uneven effect of non-cash depreciation of tangibles assets and amortization of intangible assets, much of which results from acquisitions accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.  Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA is also used by us to measure individual performance for incentive compensation purposes and as an analytical indicator for purposes of allocating resources to our operating business and assessing their performance, both internally and relative to our peers, as well as to evaluate the performance of our operating management teams,  and for purposes in the calculation of debt covenants and related disclosures.
 
Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA is not intended as a substitute for net income (loss) attributable to Radiation Therapy Services Holdings, Inc. shareholder, operating cash flows or other cash flow data determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Due to varying methods of calculation, Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
