CEO Remarks

Commenting on the quarter, Jay McKnight, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “I want to start our discussion of the quarter by thanking our team. Our regional and center level teams have been exemplary in their efforts to care for our patients and residents through the worst environment of any of our careers. Additionally, the corporate team supporting the centers has risen to the challenges placed upon them by the pandemic. We are so proud of our team, how they have supported one another, and how they have cared for the patients and residents entrusted to us.”

Mr. McKnight continued, "Despite the effect of the pandemic, we accomplished significant objectives as a company this year that we would like to highlight. As previously announced, we outsourced our therapy operations to Reliant Rehabilitation during the fourth quarter, which provided immediate benefit and we believe will provide additional benefit to us moving forward. Also in the fourth quarter, we exited the lone center that we operated in Florida and completed a related amendment of our master lease with Omega. Additionally, we outperformed our prior experience in the Texas Quality Incentive Payment Program. EBITDA for the quarter of $4.8 million capped off a year of financial improvement over 2019.”

COVID-19 Update

During 2020, we experienced reduced occupancy at our centers and incurred additional expenses preparing for and responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. We incurred $32.3 million of additional healthcare related expenses, inclusive of labor costs and the increased cost of personal protective equipment, testing, food and certain other supplies. We anticipate that during 2021 we will continue to incur significant expense and lost revenue arising from the pandemic.

Through December 31, 2020, we received $47.2 million of Provider Relief Funds. During 2020, we recognized $19.8 million of the Provider Relief Funds to offset the increased healthcare-related expenses that we incurred and the lost revenue that resulted from reduced occupancy. We also utilized $1.5 million to finance capital improvements to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The remaining Provider Relief Funds of $25.9 million as of December 31, 2020, were classified as deferred income on our consolidated balance sheet. Additionally, several of our states have temporarily increased Medicaid rates, resulting in $17.0 million of additional patient services revenue during 2020, and certain states provided $4.0 million of other financial assistance to aid us in managing through the pandemic.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) have continued to issue and expand guidance to long-term care facilities to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19, including restrictions on visitation, nonessential workers and communal activities, among other measures. Although social contact restrictions have eased across the U.S., some restrictions remain in place, and some states have continued to impose or re-imposed certain restrictions due to increasing rates of COVID-19 cases. CMS has also issued reporting guidelines for our centers to follow. Reporting guidance requires us to notify residents and designated representatives of the occurrence of a single confirmed COVID-19 positive case, any subsequent positive cases, any COVID-19 positive new admission, and/or three or more cases of new onset respiratory symptoms occurring within 72 hours. Our centers remain compliant with regular reporting to the CDC and CMS regarding the number of COVID-19 cases in our centers, patient deaths, and other information. This information is reported in accordance with existing privacy regulations and statues for the safety and well-being of our residents.

We have taken measures to limit the spread of the virus in our centers, including screening protocols for staff, residents and visitors, and we continue to conduct COVID-19 testing in accordance with CMS guidelines. We are committed to keeping our residents and their designated representatives informed as we continue to navigate COVID-19 in our centers. We will continue to report aggregated COVID-19 data for the company on our website at https://dvcr.com/our-response-to-covid-19/ and provide center specific information on each of our center’s websites.

Fourth Quarter 2020 Results

The following table summarizes key revenue and census statistics for continuing operations for each period:

	Three Months Ended December 31,
	2020						2019
Skilled nursing occupancy	67.6		%				77.2		%
As a percent of total census:
Medicare census	13.0		%				8.8		%
Managed Care census	5.5		%				4.4		%
As a percent of total revenues:
Medicare revenues	22.5		%				17.9		%
Medicaid revenues	44.2		%				47.8		%
Managed Care revenues	10.7		%				10.3		%
*Average rate per day:
Medicare	$	502.33					$	488.69
Medicaid	$	182.93					$	180.25
Managed Care	$	426.10					$	399.72
*Excludes COVID-19 stimulus payments

Patient revenues for the fourth quarter of 2020 were $119.5 million, representing a $1.4 million decrease from the fourth quarter of 2019. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we experienced quarter over quarter decreases in our Medicaid, Private and Hospice average daily census, which resulted in a $14.2 million decrease to patient revenues. The unfavorable impact was mitigated by an increase in our Medicare and Managed Care average daily census, which resulted in increased revenue of $7.3 million. Our Medicaid and Managed care rates increased quarter over quarter, contributing $1.5 million. During the fourth quarter of 2020, we recognized $5.4 million of Medicaid and Hospice state stimulus funds and $0.8 million of increased revenue from the suspension of sequestration under the provisions of the Cares Act.

Of the $47.2 million of Provider Relief Funds that we received under the Cares Act during 2020, we recognized $5.1 million of the funds during the fourth quarter of 2020, which combined with $4.0 million of state grant funds, were classified as other operating income in the Company's results of operations. The Provider Relief Funds and state grant funds that we recognized during the quarter were used to offset increased healthcare-related expenses and lost revenues attributable to COVID-19.

Operating expenses increased to $99.9 million, or 83.6% of revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2020 from $96.2 million, or 79.6% of revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2019. The increase in operating expenses was due to COVID-19 related expenses of $15.3 million, which included increased labor costs and increased cost for personal protective equipment, testing, food and certain other supplies. Excluding the increased healthcare-related expenses attributable to COVID-19, we benefited from our cost saving initiatives that favorably impacted our clinical labor costs and nursing and ancillary costs.

Lease expense decreased to $13.4 million in 2020 from $13.5 million in 2019, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 0.5%. On December 1, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with Omega Healthcare Investors to transfer operations of a facility located in Florida to another operator. The agreement effectively amended the Omega Master Lease to remove this center, reduce the annual rent expense, and release the Company from any further obligations arising under the Omega Master Lease with respect to the Florida facility.

Professional liability expense for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $2.1 million, representing an increase of $0.3 million over the fourth quarter of 2019. Professional liability expense fluctuates from period to period based on the results of our third-party professional liability actuarial studies, the premium costs of purchased insurance, and the costs incurred in defending and settling existing claims.

General and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2020 were $7.6 million, representing an increase of $0.8 million over the fourth quarter of 2019. The increase resulted from increased labor expense in addition to legal and consulting fees associated with the Company's debt refinance during the fourth quarter of October 2020.

Continuing operations reported income before taxes of $1.2 million in 2020, compared to a loss of $1.2 million in 2019. The benefit for income taxes was $0.8 million in 2020 compared to a provision for income taxes of $0.2 million in 2019. The basic and diluted loss per common share from continuing operations were $0.30 in 2020 compared to a basic and diluted loss per common share from continuing operations of $0.22 in 2019, respectively.

We have included certain financial performance and valuation measures in this press release, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDAR, Adjusted Net income (loss), which are “non-GAAP financial measures” using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and using adjustments to GAAP (non-GAAP). These non-GAAP measures are not measurements under GAAP. These measurements should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information contained in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. We define EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for loss from discontinued operations, interest expense, income tax and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for debt retirement costs. We define Adjusted EBITDAR as Adjusted EBITDA adjusted for rent expense. We define Adjusted Net income (loss) as Net income (loss) adjusted for debt retirement costs and loss from discontinued operations.

Our measurements of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDAR, and Adjusted Net income (loss) may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. We have included information concerning EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Net income (loss) in this press release because we believe that such information is used by certain investors as measures of a company’s historical performance. Our presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Net income (loss) should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.

We have included Adjusted EBITDAR in this press release because we believe that such information is used by certain investors as a measure of the Company’s valuation. We believe that Adjusted EBITDAR is an important financial valuation measure that is commonly used by our management, research analysts, investors, lenders and financial institutions, to compare the enterprise value of different companies in the healthcare industry, without regard to differences in capital structures and leasing arrangements. Adjusted EBITDAR is a financial valuation measure and is not displayed as a performance measure as it excludes rent expense, which is a normal and recurring operating expense. As such, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDAR, should not be construed as a financial performance measure.
