Insights

Financial Analyst

ATI Physical Therapy's Q3 results reveal concerning financial health despite operational improvements. While revenue grew 7.1% to $190.0 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased to $12.1 million, the company faces serious liquidity challenges. The $32.9 million net loss and warning about needing additional capital by early 2025 are major red flags.

Key metrics show mixed performance: visits per day increased 6.1%, but rate per visit remained flat at $109.83. The 28.8% improvement in Adjusted EBITDA is overshadowed by $31.4 million in operating cash used year-to-date and mounting debt concerns. With only $23.5 million in total liquidity, the urgent need for additional financing poses significant risks to shareholders.

BOLINGBROOK, Ill., Nov. 4, 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 third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

"Our consistent efforts to provide access to quality treatment for our patients underscores our strong operational performance in the third quarter," said Sharon Vitti, Chief Executive Officer of ATI. "We continue to see year-over-year growth in several key areas."

Ms. Vitti continued, "A key enabler to our operational success in the quarter was our continued focus on retaining and attracting top-tier talent. Our clinician retention rate remains steady at pre-pandemic levels and is validated by the results of our recent engagement survey, which showed that our clinicians feel valued and supported. We are committed to investing in our team, knowing that an engaged workforce is critical to maintaining excellence in patient care and operational growth. In addition, we grew our clinician headcount, adding 3% to our base year-over-year. This helps us meet rising patient demand and supports our ongoing efforts to improve access to care in the communities we serve."

Joe Jordan, Chief Financial Officer of ATI, stated, "Our operational advancements stem from our deliberate focus on both our people and operational excellence. We were pleased to report improved revenue and Adjusted EBITDA¹ compared to Q3 of last year and results that were near the top end of our guidance. For the fourth quarter, we are projecting revenue to be in the range of $182 million and $192 million, with Adjusted EBITDA² expected to land between $9 million and $14 million. Notwithstanding our operational performance, our liquidity position requires us to pursue additional capital or financing in order to fund our operations and meet our liquidity needs in the near term."

Third Quarter 2024 Results

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

• Net revenue was $190.0 million compared to $177.5 million in the third quarter of 2023, an increase of 7.1%.
  
  
  • Net patient revenue was $174.7 million compared to $162.3 million in the third quarter of 2023, an increase of 7.7%, due in part to one more business day in the current period. See below for discussion of drivers to net patient revenue (i.e., patient visits and Rate per Visit).
    
    
  • Other revenue was $15.3 million compared to $15.2 million in the third quarter of 2023, an increase of 0.4%
    
    
• Visits per Day ("VPD") were 24,860 compared to 23,435 in the third quarter of 2023, an increase of 6.1%, driven by the Company's increased capacity to see patients through a higher number of clinical FTE and higher productivity per clinical FTE.
  
  
  • VPD per Clinic was 28.3 compared to 25.9 in the third quarter of 2023, an increase of 2.4 visits, primarily driven by the Company's continued focus on clinic operational excellence and footprint optimization.
    
    
• Rate per Visit ("RPV") was $109.83 compared to $109.90 in the third quarter of 2023, essentially flat year-over-year.
  
  
• Salaries and related costs were $105.6 million compared to $97.1 million in the third quarter of 2023, an increase of 8.7%, primarily due to added clinicians and support staff, wage inflation, and one more paid day in the current period.
  
  
  • PT salaries and related costs per visit were $58.29 compared to $57.47 in the third quarter of 2023, an increase of 1.4%, mainly due to higher compensation per FTE, partially offset by a higher labor productivity of 9.4 VPD per clinical FTE compared to 9.3 in the third quarter of 2023.
    
    
• Rent, clinic supplies, contract labor and other was $54.5 million compared to $52.7 million in the third quarter of 2023, an increase of 3.4%, primarily driven by higher spending on contract labor and third-party services, partially offset by a lower number of clinics.
  
  
  • PT rent and other per clinic was $60,818 compared to $57,012 in the third quarter of 2023, an increase of 6.7%, primarily due to higher contract labor usage and higher spend on third-party services.
    
    
• Provision for doubtful accounts was $4.9 million compared to $3.3 million in the third quarter of 2023. PT provision as a percentage of net patient revenue was 2.8% in the third quarter of 2024 compared to 2.1% in the third quarter of 2023.
  
  
• Selling, general and administrative expenses were $23.8 million compared to $25.1 million in the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of 5.2%, primarily driven by lower corporate insurance and other third-party services costs.
  
  
• Non-cash long-lived asset impairment charges totaled $0.1 million compared to no impairment charges in the third quarter of 2023.
  
  
• Fair value remeasurement losses related to the 2L notes, warrant liability, and contingent common shares liability totaled $19.0 million compared to a gain of $1.9 million in the third quarter of 2023. The fair value remeasurement losses in the third quarter of 2024 were primarily driven by increases in the Company's share price and decreases in interest rates during the period.
  
  
• Interest expense during the quarter was $14.7 million compared to $15.5 million in the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of 4.7%, primarily due to lower interest rates partially offset by higher principal balances outstanding.
  
  
• Income tax (benefit) expense was $(0.1) million, compared to $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2023.
  
  
• Net loss was $32.9 million compared to $14.6 million in the third quarter of 2023.
  
  
• Net loss available to common stockholders was $40.8 million compared to $18.3 million in the third quarter of 2023 primarily due to higher net loss and a higher increase in Series A Senior Preferred Stock redemption value.
  
  
  • Fully diluted Class A common stock loss per share was $9.38 compared to $4.42 in the third quarter of 2023.
    
    
• Adjusted EBITDA³ was $12.1 million compared to $9.4 million in the third quarter of 2023, an increase of 28.8%, primarily due to higher revenue net cost of services.
  
  Adjusted EBITDA⁴ margin was 6.4% compared to 5.3% in the third quarter of 2023.

Financial Position and Liquidity

• Net cash used was $13.3 million year-to-date compared to $63.4 million in the first nine months of 2023.
  
  Operating cash used was $31.4 million year-to-date compared to $17.8 million in the first nine months of 2023, with the increase driven primarily by changes in current assets and current liabilities related to timing of collections and payments, as well as by higher incentive compensation paid to employees, partially offset by lower net loss.
  
  Investing cash used was $8.7 million year-to-date compared to $14.6 million in the first nine months of 2023, with the decrease primarily due to fewer new clinic openings. Five clinics were opened year-to-date compared to thirteen clinics in the first nine months of 2023.
  
  Financing cash generated was $26.8 million year-to-date, which included a $25.0 million 2L note draw and revolver net proceeds of $5.8 million. Financing cash used was $31.0 million in the first nine months of 2023, which included revolver net repayments of $24.8 million and financing transaction costs of $6.3 million.
  
  
• As of September 30, 2024, total liquidity was $23.5 million comprised of cash and cash equivalents. The Company has continued to fund cash used in operations primarily from financing activities and will need additional liquidity by early 2025 to continue funding working capital requirements, necessary capital expenditures as well as to be available for general corporate purposes, including interest repayments.

Additionally, ATI opened 5 clinics, closed 8 clinics, and divested 1 clinic during the quarter in connection with the Company's ongoing footprint optimization initiative, resulting in 874 clinics at the end of the quarter.

Q4-2024 Guidance

For the fourth quarter of 2024, ATI expects net revenue to be in the range of $182 million to $192 million. The Company anticipates it will continue growing patient visits through 2024 as it executes on its commercial, people, and operations strategies. ATI expects Adjusted EBITDA⁵ in the fourth quarter of 2024 to be in the range of $9 million to $14 million.

• our ability to meet financial covenants as required by our 2022 Credit Agreement, as amended;
• risks related to outstanding indebtedness and preferred stock, rising interest rates and potential increases in borrowing costs, compliance with associated covenants and provisions and the potential need to seek additional or alternative debt or capital financing in the future;
• risks related to the Company's ability to access additional financing or alternative options when needed;
• our dependence upon governmental and third-party private payors for reimbursement and that decreases in reimbursement rates, renegotiation or termination of payor contracts, billing disputes with third-party payors or unfavorable changes in payor, state and service mix may adversely affect our financial results;
• federal and state governments' continued efforts to contain growth in Medicaid expenditures, which could adversely affect the Company's revenue and profitability;

• compliance with federal and state laws and regulations relating to the privacy of individually identifiable patient information, and associated fines and penalties for failure to comply;

• our inability to maintain high levels of service and patient satisfaction;
• risks associated with the locations of our clinics, including the economies in which we operate and the potential need to close clinics and incur closure costs;
• our dependence upon the cultivation and maintenance of relationships with customers, suppliers, physicians and other referral sources;
• the severity of climate change or the weather and natural disasters that can occur in the regions of the U.S. in which we operate, which could cause disruption to our business;

• risks associated with our ability to secure renewals of current suppliers and other material agreements that the Company currently depends upon for business operations;
• failure of third-party vendors, including customer service, technical and information technology ("IT") support providers and other outsourced professional service providers to adequately address customers' requests and meet Company requirements;
• risks associated with our reliance on IT infrastructure in critical areas of our operations including, but not limited to, cyber and other security threats;
• a security breach of our IT systems or our third-party vendors' IT systems may subject us to potential legal action and reputational harm and may result in a violation of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 or the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act;
• 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;

• our operations are subject to extensive regulation and macroeconomic uncertainty;

• our ability to maintain necessary insurance coverage at competitive rates;
• the outcome of any legal and regulatory matters, proceedings or investigations instituted against us or any of our directors or officers, and whether insurance coverage will be available and/or adequate to cover such matters or proceedings;
• 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;
• our inability to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting;
• risks related to dilution of Common Stock ownership interests and voting interests as a result of the issuance of 2L Notes and Series B Preferred Stock;

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 and Form 10-Q for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, and quarter ended September 30, 2024, respectively, 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.
