Insights

ATI Physical Therapy's Q1 2024 report demonstrates a notable 8.7% increase in net revenue and a 34.9% surge in Adjusted EBITDA, indicating effective operational management and an ability to drive growth despite a competitive labor market. The commitment to clinic operational excellence and the strategic closure and divestiture of underperforming clinics show a focused approach to footprint optimization. Nevertheless, the significant 9.5% increase in salaries and related costs and a 7.0% increase in PT salaries per visit due to wage inflation could pressure margins if not balanced by similar growth in revenue. Looking ahead, the guidance for Q2 suggests sustained growth, but the forecasted Adjusted EBITDA margins remain narrow, reflecting the challenging balance between revenue growth and cost management.

The incremental 5.0% increase in Visits per Day (VPD), coupled with a 4.5% increase in Rate per Visit (RPV), is indicative of ATI's strategic growth in the healthcare services sector. The ability to effectively manage revenue cycle operations and improve terms with key payors are essential for revenue optimization in this industry. The reported decrease in clinician turnover to 16% is commendable, especially given the current labor market challenges within healthcare. This may contribute to better patient outcomes and continuity of care, which can be a competitive advantage. However, the increase in provision for doubtful accounts warrants monitoring as it could signal issues in billing or collections processes that may impact future financials.

Disciplined Execution of Clinic Operations Drove Continued Growth

People Strategies and Culture Refresh Efforts Result in Exceptional Therapist Retention

BOLINGBROOK, Ill., May 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ATI Physical Therapy, Inc. (NYSE: ATIP) ("ATI" or the "Company"), a nationally recognized outpatient physical therapy provider in the United States, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

"We grew again in the first quarter, seeing approximately 1,100 more patient visits each day compared to this time last year.  I am proud of our purpose-driven and dedicated teams who continued to find ways to expand patient access and are making every life an active life," said Sharon Vitti, Chief Executive Officer of ATI.  "Our performance continues to affirm that we have the right people and strategies in place."

Ms. Vitti continued, "Our people are what set us apart from the competition. We prioritize our ATI culture and elevating talent, and despite the still tight labor market, our people initiatives drove the ATI clinician turnover rate down to an exceptional 16% in the quarter."

Joe Jordan, Chief Financial Officer of ATI, said, "We continued to deliver progress in financial results through our people and operations strategies. We are pleased with the progress made and are expecting continued year-over-year growth as we progress through 2024.  We are guiding Q2 revenue to be between $185 million and $195 million and Adjusted EBITDA1 to be between $15 million and $20 million."

First Quarter 2024 Results

Supplemental tables of key performance metrics for the first quarter of 2022 through the first quarter of 2024 are presented after the financial statements at the end of this press release. Commentary on performance results in the first quarter of 2024 is as follows:

  • Net revenue was $181.5 million compared to $166.9 million in the first quarter of 2023, an increase of 8.7%.
     
    • Net patient revenue was $165.4 million compared to $150.8 million in the first quarter of 2023, an increase of 9.7%. See below for discussion of drivers to net patient revenue (i.e., patient visits and Rate per Visit).
       
    • Other revenue was $16.1 million compared to $16.2 million in the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of 0.7%.
       
  • Visits per Day ("VPD") were 23,837 compared to 22,701 in the first quarter of 2023, an increase of 5.0%, primarily driven by the Company's greater capacity to meet demand with more clinical FTE.
     
    • VPD per Clinic was 26.9 compared to 25.0 in the first quarter of 2023, an increase of 1.9 visits, primarily driven by the Company's continued focus on clinic operational excellence and footprint optimization.
       
  • Rate per Visit ("RPV") was $108.42 compared to $103.76 in the first quarter of 2023, an increase of 4.5%. In addition to routine mix changes, the increase was also notably driven by operational improvements in revenue cycle management and improved rates with certain key payors.
     
  • Salaries and related costs were $99.3 million compared to $90.7 million in the first quarter of 2023, an increase of 9.5%, primarily due to wage inflation, added clinicians and support staff, and bonuses for our care providers.
     
    • PT salaries and related costs per visit were $56.68 compared to $52.98 in the first quarter of 2023, an increase of 7.0%, mainly due to higher compensation per FTE and a lower labor productivity of 9.3 VPD per clinical FTE compared to 9.4 in the first quarter of 2023.
       
  • Rent, clinic supplies, contract labor and other was $55.3 million compared to $52.9 million in the first quarter of 2023, an increase of 4.5%, primarily driven by higher spending on contract labor.
     
    • PT rent and other per clinic was $60,800 compared to $56,338 in the first quarter of 2023, an increase of 7.9%, primarily due to higher contract labor usage.
       
  • Provision for doubtful accounts was $5.0 million compared to $4.1 million in the first quarter of 2023, and PT provision as a percentage of net patient revenue was 3.0% compared to 2.7%.
     
  • Selling, general and administrative expenses were $26.2 million compared to $30.6 million in the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of 14.4%, primarily driven by lower non-capitalizable debt and capital transaction costs, partially offset by higher costs from wage inflation and added people.
     
  • Non-cash goodwill, intangible and other asset impairment charges totaled $0.5 million related to the impairment of long-lived assets.
     
  • Fair value remeasurement gains related to the 2L notes, warrant liability, and contingent common shares liability totaled $5.5 million primarily driven by decreases in the Company's share price during the period.
     
  • Interest expense during the quarter was $14.5 million compared to $13.9 million in the first quarter of 2023, an increase of 3.9%, primarily due to a lower interest rate hedge benefit and higher interest rates, partially offset by lower outstanding principal balances on the Company's senior secured term loan and revolving loans.

  • Income tax (benefit) expense was $(0.1) million, compared to $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2023.

  • Net loss was $13.5 million compared to $25.2 million in the first quarter of 2023.
     
  • Net loss available to common stockholders was $19.3 million compared to $31.6 million in the first quarter of 2023.
     
    • Fully diluted Class A common stock loss per share was $4.61 compared to $7.70 in the first quarter of 2023.
       
  • Adjusted EBITDA2 was $6.5 million compared to $4.8 million in the first quarter of 2023, an increase of 34.9%, primarily due to higher revenue and associated gross profit.

    Adjusted EBITDA3 margin was 3.6% compared to 2.9% in the first quarter of 2023.
     
  • Net cash use was $13.1 million compared to $20.1 million in the first quarter of 2023.

    Operating cash use was $39.1 million compared to $14.2 million in the first quarter of 2023, reflecting certain timing differences between accrual and cash basis partially offset by lower net loss.

    Investing cash use was $2.5 million compared to $5.1 million in the first quarter of 2023, with the decrease primarily due to fewer new clinic openings. No clinics were opened compared to 4 clinics in the first quarter of 2023.

    Financing cash generation (use) was $28.5 million year-to-date compared to $(0.8) million in the first three months of 2023. Excluding revolver activity and a 2L note draw, financing cash use was $1.5 million compared to $0.8 million in the first quarter of 2023.
     
  • As of March 31, 2024, total liquidity was $23.7 million comprised of cash and cash equivalents.

Additionally, ATI closed 11 clinics and divested 1 clinic during the quarter in connection with the Company's ongoing footprint optimization initiative, resulting in 884 clinics at the end of the quarter.

Q2-2024 Guidance

For the second quarter of 2024, ATI expects net revenue to be in the range of $185 million to $195 million, which represents approximately 7% to 13% year-over-year growth.  The Company anticipates it will continue growing patient visits through 2024 as it executes on its commercial, people, and operations strategies.  ATI expects Adjusted EBITDA4 in the second quarter of 2024 to be in the range of $15 million to $20 million.

  • maintaining clients for which we perform management and other services, as a breach or termination of those contractual arrangements by such clients could cause operating results to be less than expected;

  • general economic conditions, including but not limited to inflationary and recessionary periods;
  • our facilities face competition for experienced physical therapists and other clinical providers that may increase labor costs, result in elevated levels of contract labor and reduce profitability;
  • risks associated with our ability to attract and retain talented executives and employees amidst the impact of unfavorable labor market dynamics, wage inflation and recent reduction in value of our share-based compensation incentives, including potential failure of steps being taken to reduce attrition of physical therapists and increase hiring of physical therapists;
  • risks resulting from the 2L Notes, IPO Warrants, Earnout Shares and Vesting Shares being accounted for as liabilities at fair value and the changes in fair value affecting our financial results;
  • further impairments of goodwill and other intangible assets, which represent a significant portion of our total assets, especially in view of the Company's recent market valuation;

If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements.

Investors should also review those factors discussed in the Company' Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, under the heading "Risk Factors," and other documents filed, or to be filed, by ATI with the SEC. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible to predict all such risk factors, nor can the Company assess the impact of all such risk factors on the business of the Company or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligations to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

In addition, statements of belief and similar statements reflect the beliefs and opinions of the Company on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to the Company, as applicable, as of the date of this communication, and while the Company believes such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and statements should not be read to indicate that the Company has conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and you are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company's financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and aid understanding of the Company's business performance, the Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, namely "Adjusted EBITDA" and "Adjusted EBITDA margin." ATI believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin (i.e., Adjusted EBITDA divided by Net Revenue) assist investors and analysts in comparing the Company's operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that it does not believe are indicative of ATI's core operating performance.

Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in highlighting trends in our operating performance, while other measures can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which ATI operates and capital investments. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to supplement GAAP measures of performance in the evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, to establish discretionary annual incentive compensation and to compare ATI's performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures. Management supplements GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or the ratio of net income (loss) to net revenue as a measure of financial performance, cash flows provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, these measures are not intended to be a measure of cash available for management's discretionary use as they do not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. The presentations of these measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentations of these measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and can differ significantly from company to company.

Please see "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures used in this release to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. We are unable to provide a reconciliation between forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to its comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable effort, due to the high difficulty and impracticability of predicting certain amounts required by GAAP with a reasonable degree of accuracy by the date of this release.
