ModivCare Inc., (the “Company” or “ModivCare”) (Nasdaq: MODV), a technology-enabled healthcare services company that provides a suite of integrated supportive care solutions focused on improving patient outcomes, today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

First Quarter 2021 Highlights:

• Revenue of $453.6 million, a 23.5% increase as compared to $367.3 million in Q1 2020
• Income from continuing operations, net of tax, of $18.9 million or $1.31 per diluted common share

• Matrix, on a standalone basis, achieved net income of $8.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $32.2 million

Daniel E. Greenleaf, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “ModivCare’s first quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $48.0 million exceeded the prior year comparable figure, reflecting higher Adjusted EBITDA in both our NEMT and Personal Care segments. In NEMT, we benefited from lower operating costs under our six-pillar strategy, expanded membership, a full quarter contribution from National MedTrans, and lower utilization under capitated contracts. Our Personal Care segment benefited from a full quarter contribution from Simplura Health Group, which we acquired in November 2020.”

Mr. Greenleaf continued, “Looking ahead, we will continue to deploy technological and operational initiatives designed to elevate the patient experience and further our market leading position in the non-emergency medical transportation industry. Yesterday we announced the acquisition of WellRyde, a leading technology provider of Advanced Transportation Management Systems (ATMS) software enabling optimized routing, automated trip assignments and billing, and real-time network monitoring. WellRyde’s technology will seamlessly integrate into our Circulation and LCAD platforms, fast-tracking our “Go Digital” initiative and accelerating our efforts to build the largest digital non-emergency medical transportation network in the nation. We will also continue to evaluate external growth opportunities in the highly fragmented $55 billion personal care sector. Simplura’s distinguished service model and stellar technology platform provide us an excellent foundation to build upon. By addressing the social determinants of health through a suite of supportive care solutions, we aim to deepen customer relationships, dismantle barriers to care, and build substantial value for shareholders.”

Mr. Greenleaf concluded, “Finally, Matrix commenced 2021 on a very positive note, with first quarter revenue more than doubling to $124 million and adjusted EBITDA more than tripling to $32.2 million compared to the respective figures for the prior year period, reflecting continued expansion of its clinical solutions business and a rebound in on-site visits in its risk assessment business.”

First Quarter 2021 Results

For the first quarter of 2021, the Company reported revenue of $453.6 million, an increase of 23.5% from $367.3 million in the first quarter of 2020.

Operating income was $28.8 million, or 6.4% of revenue, in the first quarter of 2021, compared to operating income of $10.0 million, or 2.7% of revenue, in the first quarter of 2020. Income from continuing operations, net of tax, in the first quarter of 2021 was $18.9 million, or $1.31 per diluted common share, compared to income from continuing operations, net of tax, of $16.3 million, or $1.02 per diluted common share, in the first quarter of 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA was $48.0 million, or 10.6% of revenue, in the first quarter of 2021, compared to $17.0 million, or 4.6% of revenue, in the first quarter of 2020.

Adjusted Net Income in the first quarter of 2021 was $27.5 million, or $1.92 per diluted common share, compared to $8.6 million, or $0.66 per diluted common share, in the first quarter of 2020.

Comparable adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income for Q1 2020 was recast to show the impact of stock-based compensation, which the Company is now excluding for purposes of these calculations.

The quarter-over-quarter increase in revenue was primarily due to incremental revenue of $110.2 million and $43.8 million associated with the acquisitions of Simplura and National MedTrans, respectively. This was partially offset by lower trip volume in our NEMT business caused by the continued impact of COVID-19. This lower volume resulted in a reduction of revenue in the current quarter in line with margin limitations that govern some of our profit corridor and reconciliation payor contracts.

Adjusted EBITDA increased in the first quarter of 2021 due to cost savings and productivity initiatives associated with the Company's six-pillar growth strategy in addition to incremental margin from Simplura and National MedTrans and lower utilization and contact center activity due to COVID-19. This was partially offset by higher corporate general and administrative cost as the Company continued to make investments in its employees and technology.

Matrix - Balance Sheet and Cash Flows

For the first quarter of 2021, Matrix’s revenue was $124.0 million, an increase of 102% from $61.3 million in the first quarter of 2020. Matrix had operating income of $16.1 million for the first quarter of 2021, compared to an operating loss of $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2020.

ModivCare recorded income of $4.5 million related to its Matrix equity investment compared to a loss of $2.6 million for the first quarter of 2020. For the first quarter of 2021, Matrix recorded Adjusted EBITDA of $32.2 million, or 26% of revenue, compared to $9.9 million, or 16% of revenue, for the first quarter of 2020.

Matrix’s Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was positively impacted by its continued success with its Clinical Solutions business, which they created in the second quarter of 2020 as a response to employers’ needs for mobile health assessment resources during the pandemic. This business has continued to thrive as employers begin to transition more of their workforce back onsite. They are also beginning to experience an increase in on-site visits in their risk adjustment business to pre-pandemic levels.

As of March 31, 2021, Matrix had $262.3 million in net debt and ModivCare's ownership interest was 43.6%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Adjustments

In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), this press release includes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the Company and its segments, as well as Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS for the Company, which are performance measures that are not recognized under GAAP. EBITDA is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations, net of taxes, before: (1) interest expense, net, (2) provision (benefit) for income taxes and (3) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA before certain items, including (as applicable): (1) restructuring and related charges, including severance and office closure and professional services costs related to our corporate reorganization, (2) equity in net (gain) loss of investee, (3) stock based compensation, (4) certain transaction and related costs, and (5) COVID-19 related costs, net of grant income. Adjusted Net Income is defined as income from continuing operations, net of taxes, before certain items, including (1) restructuring and related charges, (2) equity in net (gain) loss of investee, (3) stock based compensation, (4) intangible asset amortization, (5) certain transaction and related costs, (6) COVID-19 related costs, net of grant income, (7) tax impacts from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"), and (8) the income tax impact of such adjustments. Adjusted EPS is calculated as Adjusted Net Income less (as applicable): (1) dividends on convertible preferred stock and (2) income allocated to participating securities, divided by the diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding as calculated for Adjusted Net Income. Our non-GAAP performance measures exclude certain expenses and amounts that are not driven by our core operating results and may be one time in nature. Excluding these expenses makes comparisons with prior periods as well as to other companies in our industry more meaningful. We believe such measures allow investors to gain a better understanding of the factors and trends affecting the ongoing operations of our business. We consider our core operations to be the ongoing activities to provide services from which we earn revenue, including direct operating costs and indirect costs to support these activities. In addition, our net gain or loss in equity investee is excluded from these measures, as we do not have the ability to manage the venture, allocate resources within the venture, or directly control its operations or performance.

Our non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in our industry, as other companies in our industry may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently. In addition, there are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, and exclude expenses that may have a material impact on our reported financial results. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. We urge you to review the reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures included below, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
