FORT MYERS, Fla., May 14, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Radiation Therapy Services Holdings, Inc ("Radiation Therapy" or "the Company"), a leading operator of radiation therapy centers, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.
Dr. Daniel Dosoretz, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We accomplished a great deal in the first several months of 2012, including the refinancing of our existing senior credit facilities with new senior notes and a new revolving credit facility to support our growth strategy, an acquisition in Florida that serves to strengthen our integrated cancer care model and the agreement to manage radiation therapy operations for the Northern District of Broward Health, the 10th largest hospital system in the U.S. This is a testament to our technical and medical expertise and further validates the potential of our value added services offering."
"Over the past several years, we have made ongoing strategic investments in our infrastructure, building a strong platform from which to expand our leadership position and integrated cancer care model. With the access to capital provided by the refinancing, we are very strongly positioned to execute growth strategies, both domestically and internationally. Our acquisition pipeline remains strong with both small and mid-sized opportunities."
"Looking at our first quarter, we are very pleased with the results announced today. Domestic same practice treatments per day increased 2.1%. This growth reflects the continued return to utilization in markets that had been impacted by the economic downturn as more patients again have access to medical care, as well as the continued development of our integrated care model and increased referrals from our physician liaison program. Our Latin American operations continue to be a driver of robust growth, with centers in the region increasing treatments by 17.3%, including the two month period prior to the acquisition on March 1, 2011. We are extremely pleased with the growth that Medical Developers has provided and we continue to explore opportunities to build on our significant presence in the region. As we move into 2012, we will continue to focus on growing our presence and market leadership as a provider of integrated cancer care," concluded Dr. Dosoretz.
Recent Developments
On May 10, 2012, Radiation Therapy issued $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its new 8.875% senior secured second lien notes due 2017 (the "Notes"). Net proceeds from the sale of the Notes were used to repay Radiation Therapy's existing senior secured revolving credit facility and the Term Loan B portion of its senior secured credit facilities, to pay fees and expenses related to the notes offering and for general corporate purposes. In connection with the Notes offering, Radiation Therapy also entered into a new 4.5 year $140 million revolving credit facility. As of May 14, 2012, there are no borrowings under the new revolving credit facility.
In March 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with the North Broward Hospital District to license the space and equipment and assume responsibility for the operation of the radiation therapy departments at Broward General Medical Center and North Broward Medical Center. The North Broward Hospital District is the 10th largest hospital system in the United States. The Company will be operating the radiation therapy centers as part of its value added services offering.
On March 30, 2012, Radiation Therapy expanded its presence in Sarasota and Manatee Counties with the the acquisition of Lakewood Ranch Oncology Center ("LROC"), a radiation therapy facility located in Lakewood Ranch, Florida for approximately $26.0 million. LROC was previously owned by two groups of urology specialists whom Radiation Therapy hired as part of this transaction, thereby building on the Company's integrated cancer care model.
First Quarter 2012 Results
Total revenues for the first quarter of 2012 were $177.4 million, an increase of 13.4% compared to $156.5 million in revenues in the same quarter of 2011. The increase in revenue was principally due to the benefit of acquired integrated cancer care practices, the impact of strategic tuck-in acquisitions made in California, North Carolina, and Argentina, along with organic growth from Medical Developers.
Domestic same practice treatments per day increased 2.1% in the first quarter of 2012, reflecting stabilizing volumes and increased referrals from the Company's physician liaison program and integrated cancer care model, compared to the first quarter of 2011. However, domestic same practice therapy revenue per treatment decreased 2.8% from the first quarter of 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 Las Vegas capitated contract, decreased 5.4% in the first quarter versus the same period of the prior year principally due to reductions in the reimbursement rate included in the CMS 2012 Physician Fee Schedule.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and other non-cash and pro forma items ("Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA") in the first quarter of 2012 was $29.2 million, or 15.8% of total pro forma revenues, compared to $31.2 million, or 18.9% of total pro forma revenues, in the first quarter of 2011. Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA margins declined in the quarter versus the prior year period primarily due to reductions in the Medicare reimbursement rate, along with growth in integrated care practices in which professional service revenues are largely paid out as physician compensation and investments made in key personnel. 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 March 31, 2012 and 2011 is included in the attached supplemental information.
Income tax expense in the first quarter of 2012 was $0.1 million, compared to income tax expense of $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2011. The net loss for the first quarter of 2012 was $8.4 million, compared to a net loss of $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2011.

Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total pro-forma revenues | 15.8% | 18.9% |
(1) Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) before interest expense (net of interest income), income taxes, | ||
depreciation and amortization, foreign currency derivative contract loss, gain on fair value adjustment of previously held equity investment, | ||
management fees from our sponsor, non-cash expenses including costs relating to stock compensation, amortization of straight-- | ||
line rent and amortization of capital expenditures relating to repairs and maintenance, sale-lease back adjustments, acquisition-related | ||
costs, other expenses including loss on sale of assets, severance payments related to termination of employee staff reductions and tail | ||
premiums on termed physicians, litigation settlements with physicians and pro-forma full period effect of acquisition EBITDA. | ||
(a) Pro-forma amounts related to adjustments to total revenues and Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA to reflect the full period effect of | ||
our acquisitions completed during 2011 and 2012. The adjustments reflect the impact to our total revenues and Pro-forma | ||
Adjusted EBITDA as if the acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of the year. | ||
(b) Management fees are fees paid to our sponsor, Vestar Capital Partners. | ||
(c) Non-cash expenses including costs relating to stock compensation, amortization of straight-line rent and amortization of capital | ||
expenditures relating to warranty arrangements amortized to repairs and maintenance. | ||
(d) Sale-lease back adjustments relates to the adjustment of benefit derived from the classification of operating leases as finance | ||
obligations reflecting a reclassification of interest expense and depreciation and amortization expense as rent expense. | ||
(e) Acquisition related costs associated with the adoption of ASC 805, Business Combinations, requiring prior capitalized costs be | ||
expensed, including professional fees and due diligence costs relating to the acquisition of physician practices. | ||
(f) Other expenses include loss on sale of assets, severance payments related to termination of employee staff reductions and tail | ||
premiums paid on terminated physicians. | ||
(g) Litigation settlement relates to costs associated with the termination of physicians during 2011 and 2012. | ||
(h) Expenses associated with idle / closed radiation therapy treatment facilities. | ||
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. |
