BOLINGBROOK, Ill., Nov. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- ATI Physical Therapy – ("ATI" or the "Company") (NYSE: ATIP), the largest single-branded outpatient physical therapy provider in the United States, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.

"In October, we previewed select third quarter results and revised 2021 guidance," said Jack Larsen, Executive Chairman of ATI Physical Therapy. "During the quarter, we implemented targeted measures to re-engage our clinical team and saw improved existing therapist retention and acceleration of new hire adds with clinical FTE increasing from 2,321 in July 2021 to 2,412 in September 2021. Through it all, our nationwide team remained focused on our mission to deliver high quality care and service to our customers as reflected in our Net Promotor Score of 73 and Google Star Rating of 4.9 for the quarter."

Mr. Larsen continued, "As previously reported, volume demand was essentially flat in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter when considering normal seasonality. Our commercial team is focused on driving visits growth through strengthening relationships with our partner providers and other referral sources in each local market across our geographic footprint. I am excited about the progress made with our clinical staff and the platform that ATI has built, and we believe we are well positioned to capitalize on favorable industry tailwinds and long-term growth opportunities. While we work to restore volume, we are committed to disclosing expanded performance metrics to enable our stakeholders to better understand our value proposition and clearly track our progression."

Joe Jordan, Chief Financial Officer of ATI Physical Therapy, added, "We remain well capitalized with $135 million of available liquidity as of September 30, 2021 comprised of $66 million in cash on hand and $69 million of availability on our revolver, and we believe this positions us to weather the near-term challenges. The leverage ratio under our credit agreement for the third quarter of 2021 was approximately 4.1x."

Third Quarter 2021 Results

Supplemental tables of key performance metrics for the first quarter of 2019 through the third quarter of 2021 are presented after the financial statements at the end of this press release.  Commentary on performance results in the third quarter of 2021 is as follows:

• Net operating revenue was $159.0 million compared to $164.0 million in the second quarter of 2021 and $148.7 million in the third quarter of 2020, a decrease of 3.1% quarter over quarter and an increase of 7.0% year over year
     
  
• Net patient revenue was $141.9 million compared to $146.7 million in the second quarter of 2021 and $132.8 million in the third quarter of 2020, a decrease of 3.3% quarter over quarter and an increase of 6.8% year over year. See below for discussion of drivers to net patient revenue, i.e. patient visits and Rate per Visit.
     
• Other revenue was $17.2 million compared to $17.4 million in the second quarter of 2021 and $15.9 million in the third quarter of 2020, a decrease of 1.1% quarter over quarter and an increase of 8.2% year over year. Other revenue was essentially flat quarter over quarter.
       
• Visits per Day ("VPD") were 20,674 compared to 21,569 in the second quarter of 2021 and 18,159 in the third quarter of 2020, a decrease of 4.1% quarter over quarter and an increase of 13.8% year over year.
     
  VPD per Clinic was 23.1 compared to 24.3 in the second quarter of 2021 and 20.8 in the third quarter of 2020.  In a normal year, VPD per Clinic in the third quarter is generally seasonally lower than the second quarter by ~1. While visits performance varied by region, across the platform VPD per Clinic in the third quarter of 2021 decreased 1.2 quarter over quarter and increased 2.3 year over year.
     
• Rate per Visit was $105.56 compared to $106.26 in the second quarter of 2021 and $112.51 in the third quarter of 2020, a decrease of 0.7% quarter over quarter and 6.2% year over year. There was no notable change in payor mix in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter, and the marginal quarter over quarter variation was within historical normal bounds. The decrease year over year was primarily due to unfavorable mix shifts related to payor classes, states and services.
    
• Salaries and related costs were $86.8 million compared to $80.9 million in the second quarter of 2021 and $78.0 million in the third quarter of 2020, an increase of 7.3% quarter over quarter and 11.3% year over year.
    
  Salaries and related costs per Visit were $64.62 compared to $58.62 in the second quarter of 2021 and $66.12 in the third quarter of 2020, an increase of 10.2% quarter over quarter and a decrease of 2.3% year over year. The sequential quarter increase was primarily driven by adding staff to reestablish the full clinic support structure across all our clinics in addition to wage inflation in certain pockets of the country as we implemented changes to compensation and benefits.
     
• Rent, clinic supplies, contract labor and other was $45.8 million compared to $44.1 million in the second quarter of 2021 and $39.2 million in the third quarter of 2020, an increase of 3.8% quarter over quarter and 16.8% year over year.
    
  Rent, clinic supplies, contract labor and other per Clinic was $51,074 compared to $49,657 in the second quarter of 2021 and $44,986 in the third quarter of 2020, an increase of 2.9% quarter over quarter and 13.5% year over year. The sequential quarter increase was primarily driven by increased use of contract labor while we worked to fill open positions.
     
• Provision for doubtful accounts was $3.5 million compared to $3.6 million in the second quarter of 2021 and $2.9 million in the third quarter of 2020. Provision as a percent of revenue was 2.2% compared to 2.2% in the second quarter of 2021 and 2.0% in the third quarter of 2020, reflecting consistent collections experience.
     
• Selling, general and administrative expenses were $30.8 million compared to $26.4 million in the second quarter of 2021 and $26.0 million in the third quarter of 2020, an increase of 16.7% quarter over quarter and 18.3% year over year. The sequential quarter increase was primarily driven by one-time reorganization and severance costs of $3.6 million due to executive leadership changes previously reported in July and August in addition to higher D&O insurance costs as a public company.
    
• Non-cash goodwill impairment charge was $299.8 million and trade name indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charge was $200.6 million. As a result of further revisions to our forecasts reported in October 2021, including the factors related to our revisions of the forecasts that were present as of September 30, 2021, it was determined that the fair value amounts of goodwill and trade name were below their respective carrying amounts.
    
• Income tax benefit (expense) was $28.8 million compared to $20.2 million in the second quarter of 2021 and ($2.3) million in the third quarter of 2020. The income tax benefit of $28.8 million in the third quarter of 2021 was primarily driven by the income tax impacts of the non-cash goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, partially offset by an increase in valuation allowances.
    
• Net (loss) income was $(325.7) million compared to $(452.5) million in the second quarter of 2021 and $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2020.
    
• Adjusted EBITDA was $8.5 million compared to $24.0 million in the second quarter of 2021 and $17.3 million in the third quarter of 2020 (excluding CARES Act Provider Relief Funds of $23.1 million), a decrease of 64.4% quarter over quarter and 50.7% year over year. The sequential quarter decrease was primarily  driven by lower revenue and higher salaries and related costs and higher selling, general and administrative expenses.
    
  Adjusted EBITDA margin was 5.4% compared to 14.6% in the second quarter of 2021 and 11.7% (excluding CARES Act Provider Relief Funds) in the third quarter of 2020.
    
• Net (decrease) increase in cash was $(24.5) million compared to $(7.1) million in the second quarter of 2021 and $12.0 million in the third quarter of 2020. Cash use in the third quarter of 2021 included $4.7 million repayment in connection with the Medicare Accelerated and Advance Payment Program.

Summary of key balance sheet items as of September 30, 2021 is as follows:

• Cash and cash equivalents totaled $66.1 million, and the revolving credit facility was undrawn with available capacity of $68.8 million, net of usage by letters of credit, equaling $134.9 million in available liquidity.
    
  The revolving credit facility has a springing financial covenant. When the facility is greater than 30% drawn at quarter-end, the credit agreement leverage ratio may not exceed 6.25x. With cash and cash equivalents of $66.1 million and considering revolver capacity before springing the financial covenant, this equals $87.1 million in minimum liquidity.
    
• The credit agreement leverage ratio for the third quarter of 2021 was approximately 4.1x.

Other notable achievements and/or news in the third quarter of 2021 were as follows:

• Opened 18 new clinics in existing states, including Arizona, Georgia, Texas and Oregon; and closed 7 clinics primarily in Illinois. This brings the total number of new clinics for the year to 38. The company continues to capitalize on growth opportunities in individual markets, while optimizing its footprint and financial return in other local markets.
    
• Net Promotor Score ("NPS") of 73 and Google Star Rating of 4.9, reflecting continuing high customer satisfaction and brand loyalty.
    
• Providers in every ATI clinic across our geographic footprint reported data under the Medicare Merit-Based Incentive Payment System ("MIPS") for performance year 2020. In the third quarter of 2021, CMS advised that ATI received a score in the 100^th percentile across the board and will be receiving the highest possible bonus adjustment to the 2022 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule for 2022 Medicare reimbursed services. CMS is currently completing its calculations and is expected to report final MIPS 2022 adjustments for each applicable provider later this year.

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." We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin (i.e. Adjusted EBITDA divided by Net Operating Revenue) assist investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our 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 we operate and capital investments. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to supplement GAAP measures of performance in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, to establish discretionary annual incentive compensation and to compare our 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 our 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.
