Contessa Acquisition

On August 1, 2021, we closed on our previously announced acquisition of Contessa Health (“Contessa”), a leader in hospital-at-home and skilled nursing facility (“SNF”) at-home services. With the addition of Contessa’s risk-based model and claims analytics capabilities, we will be able to bring the essential elements of inpatient hospital and SNF care to patients’ homes, allowing us to become a risk-bearing, home-based care delivery organization, expanding well beyond traditional Home Health and Hospice. Contessa will operate as a wholly owned division of Amedisys and will be reported as a separate operating segment in our future filings.

Updated 2021 Guidance

While our performance in the first half of 2021 has produced strong EBITDA and expanded margins, our Hospice segment is behind in both admission and average daily census growth. The COVID-19 pandemic has put pressure on our ability to hire and retain business development employees at a level needed to achieve our internal growth targets. Throughout 2020 and into 2021, we have been mindful of our need to deliver results, and we have a history of managing our costs. However, with our recent acquisition activity, we believe that there is a significant opportunity to grow our Hospice segment which has required us to invest in leadership and continue to hire clinical employees to support this future growth. Accordingly, and given that our Hospice growth disruption has been isolated to turnover and hiring and is not a systemic issue, we are committed to staffing our Hospice segment for this growth opportunity despite the impact to near term margins.

COVID-19 has impacted the operating metrics typically used to forecast both growth and cost assumptions for both core Amedisys and Contessa. We are basing our guidance on our current operating environment. COVID-19 continues to evolve in both the disease itself as well as disruptions to the healthcare systems and the economy. Any future regulations or government interventions, spike in clinicians and business development staff on quarantine, reduction in elective procedures, change in patient behavior and further decline in senior living occupancy could impact our ability to achieve this guidance.

Based upon the above discussion, our updated 2021 guidance for our core business (excluding any acquisitions closed subsequent to June 30, 2021) is as follows:

  • Adjusted net service revenue is anticipated to be in the range of $2.230 billion to $2.245 billion.
  • Adjusted EBITDA is anticipated to be in the range of $315 million to $320 million.
  • Adjusted diluted earnings per share is anticipated to be in the range of $6.37 to $6.49 based on an estimated 33.1 million shares outstanding.

Our updated 2021 guidance including all acquisition activity closed as of August 4, 2021 is as follows:

  • Adjusted net service revenue is anticipated to be in the range of $2.241 billion to $2.259 billion.
  • Adjusted EBITDA is anticipated to be in the range of $301 million to $308 million.
  • Adjusted diluted earnings per share is anticipated to be in the range of $6.03 to $6.18 based on an estimated 33.1 million shares outstanding.

This guidance excludes the effects of any future acquisitions, if any are made.

Expansion of Credit Facility

On July 30, 2021, we entered into the Second Amendment to our Credit Agreement (as amended by the Second Amendment, the “Second Amended Credit Agreement”). The Second Amended Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured credit facility in an initial aggregate principal amount of up to $1.0 billion, which includes a $550.0 million Revolving Credit Facility under the Second Amended Credit Agreement, and a term loan facility with a principal amount of up to $450.0 million (the “Amended Term Loan Facility” and collectively with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Amended Credit Facility”).

Proceeds from the $450.0 million Amended Term Loan Facility were used to pay off the outstanding Term Loan principal balance as of July 30, 2021, as well as to fund 100% of the Contessa acquisition.

Share Repurchase Program

We also announced today that our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program, under which we may repurchase up to $100 million of our outstanding common stock through December 31, 2022, to commence upon the completion of the Company’s existing $100 million share repurchase program, approved by our Board of Directors on December 17, 2020 (the “Existing Share Repurchase Program”). Repurchases may be made under the Existing Share Repurchase Program through December 31, 2021.

Paul B. Kusserow, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated, “The second quarter of 2021 was an eventful quarter for Amedisys. In our core business, Home Health continued its very strong performance while the lingering and prolonged effect of COVID-19 continued to impact our Hospice business’ ability to grow at previously projected rates. We have identified the issues which are two-fold, business development staff recruitment and retention, and have implemented plans to accelerate performance in the second half of the year. That said, we have revised our full year guidance to reflect these impacts.

I am also very excited about the closing of the Contessa acquisition. Contessa’s industry leading Hospital at Home and SNF at Home platform, along with their advanced Medicare Advantage claims analytics, underwriting capabilities and risk-taking experience, combined with our nationwide, highest quality, Home Health and Hospice platform creates a truly differentiated, tech-enabled, risk-taking, higher-acuity, home-based care delivery asset—one that materially differentiates Amedisys and positions us differently with Medicare Advantage plans. I’d like to welcome all of the Contessa employees to the Amedisys family.

We also have expanded our credit facility giving us access to $1 billion via a term loan and revolver. This should strongly indicate our appetite to do additional Home Health and Hospice acquisitions.

Finally, our Board of Directors has authorized an additional $100 million stock buy-back program that we will deploy opportunistically. It makes sense to have this tool available as part of our capital deployment strategy and again, does not prevent us from doing any deals we currently have in the pipeline.

I’d like to take a moment to thank all of the nearly 21,000 Amedisys employees for their continued dedication, efforts and tireless work throughout this quarter and the entirety of the pandemic. It is humbling to see the incredible care you provide to your patients wherever they call home and makes me proud to work for such a service and quality driven organization.”

We urge caution in considering the current trends and 2021 guidance disclosed in this press release. The home health, hospice and personal care industries are highly competitive and subject to intensive regulations, and trends are subject to numerous factors, risks, and uncertainties, some of which are referenced in the cautionary language below and others that are described more fully in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K which can be found on the SEC’s internet website, http://www.sec.gov, and our internet website, http://www.amedisys.com.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes reconciliations of the most comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) to non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules are as follows: (1) adjusted EBITDA, defined as net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc. before net interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization, excluding certain items; (2) adjusted net service revenue, defined as net service revenue excluding certain items; (3) adjusted other operating income, defined as other operating income excluding certain items; (4) adjusted net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc., defined as net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc. excluding certain items; and (5) adjusted net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc. per diluted share, defined as net income attributable to Amedisys, Inc. common stockholders per diluted share excluding certain items. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when reviewed in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, are useful gauges of our current performance and are also included in internal management reporting. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not more meaningful than or as an alternative to the GAAP financial measures presented in this earnings release and the company’s financial statements. Non-GAAP measures as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies since not all companies calculate these non-GAAP measures consistently.
