Positive

• 29% year-over-year revenue growth in Q2 2024, reaching $981.8 million
• 31% year-over-year revenue growth for H1 2024, totaling $1.9 billion
• Strong occupancy rate of 91.0% across all facilities in Q2 2024
• Addition of 3,947 operational beds over 12 months, leading to a 24.8% increase in patient days
• Increased full-year 2024 guidance for both Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA
• Expansion of portfolio to 248 healthcare operations across 13 states

Negative

• GAAP net loss of $10.9 million in Q2 2024
• Increase in stock-based compensation expense of $90.9 million associated with IPO-related restricted stock units

Financial Analyst

PACS Group's Q2 2024 results show strong growth, but with some nuances. Revenue increased 29% year-over-year to $981.8 million, driven by facility expansion and higher reimbursement rates. However, GAAP net income for Q2 was -$10.9 million, impacted by a $90.9 million stock-based compensation expense related to their April IPO.

Key positives include increased occupancy rates and higher Medicare and Medicaid daily rates. The company's guidance raise for FY2024 suggests confidence in continued growth. However, investors should note the discrepancy between GAAP losses and adjusted EBITDA of $99.7 million for Q2, highlighting the importance of understanding non-GAAP metrics in this sector.

The aggressive expansion strategy (32 new facilities in 12 months) could drive future growth but may also increase integration risks and capital requirements. Overall, while growth metrics are impressive, profitability and cash flow management will be important to watch in coming quarters.

Healthcare Industry Analyst

PACS Group's performance reflects broader trends in the post-acute care sector. The 91% occupancy rate and improving CMS Quality Measures ratings (165 facilities at 4 or 5 stars) indicate strong operational execution and potential for premium reimbursements.

The 9.5% increase in Medicare daily rates is particularly noteworthy, potentially reflecting a favorable reimbursement environment or a shift towards higher-acuity patients. The expansion into four new states suggests a strategic push for geographic diversification, which could help mitigate regional regulatory risks.

However, the post-acute care sector faces ongoing challenges, including labor shortages and potential reimbursement pressures. PACS's ability to maintain quality metrics while rapidly expanding will be crucial. The focus on real estate ownership (87 assets owned) aligns with industry trends towards vertical integration but also exposes the company to real estate market fluctuations.

Conference Call and Webcast scheduled for today, August 12, 2024, at 5:00 pm ET.

FARMINGTON, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- PACS Group, Inc. (NYSE: PACS) (“PACS” or the “Company”), which together with its subsidiaries is one of the largest post-acute healthcare companies in the United States, announced operating results for the second quarter of 2024.

Highlights:

• GAAP net income (loss) was $38.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and $(10.9) million for the second quarter of 2024, which was driven down by an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $90.9 million associated with restricted stock units, granted at the time of the Company’s April 2024 initial public offering.
• Consolidated GAAP revenue for the first six months of 2024 was $1.9 billion, an increase of 31% over the first six months of the prior year, driven largely by increased facility count and reimbursement rates, and for the second quarter of 2024 was $981.8 million, an increase of 29% over the second quarter of 2023 and an increase of 5% over the first quarter of 2024.
• Adjusted EBITDA was $188.2 million and $99.7 million for the first six months of 2024 and the second quarter of 2024, respectively. Adjusted EBITDAR was $318.0 million and $165.6 million over the same periods, respectively.
• Increase in guidance for full year 2024 Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA
  • Revenue expected to be in the range of $3.85 billion to $3.95 billion
  • Adjusted EBITDA expected to be in the range of $370 million to $380 million

Select KPIs:

• Total Facilities occupancy was 91.0% during the second quarter of 2024. Ramping and Mature Facilities occupancy increased by 1.4% and 1.0%, respectively, over the same quarter of the prior year.
• Average Medicare and Medicaid daily rates increased 9.5% and 3.5%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2024, as compared to the same quarter of the prior year.
• In the second quarter of 2024 the Company added 2 operating facilities, including 167 skilled nursing beds, respectively.

“Our facilities across the nation continue to focus on clinical excellence, and we couldn’t be more pleased about the outcomes they are achieving,” said Jason Murray, PACS’s Chief Executive Officer. “Their dedication to their patients and to serving their communities leads to their individual success, and to our collective success as a company. We’re looking forward to keeping that positive momentum through the end of the year and beyond.”

Murray continued, “We had another strong quarter, again highlighted by 165 of our facilities having a 4 or 5 star CMS Quality Measures rating. We believe this is a key driver of our revenue growth in the second quarter of 2024 of 29.1% or $221.2 million as compared to the second quarter of 2023.”

“Our revenue growth was also driven in significant part by our adding 3,947 operational beds to the company over the twelve months ending June 30, 2024, leading to a 24.8% increase in patient days for the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same quarter of the prior year. Additionally, our occupancy remained strong across all facilities — 91.0% in the second quarter of 2024,” said Derick Apt, PACS’s Chief Financial Officer. “We're also proud of our teams for adding 32 facilities and 12 real estate acquisitions during the 12 months ending June 30, 2024. We have added another 28 facilities since the end of the second quarter across four new states, bringing our total operated facilities today to 248 and our properties wholly owned or owned through JV partnerships to 87.”

Business Outlook

Based on information available as of today, PACS is providing the following guidance for full year 2024:

• Revenue expected to be in the range of $3.85 billion to $3.95 billion
• Adjusted EBITDA expected to be in the range of $370 million to $380 million

As of today, PACS's growing portfolio consists of 248 healthcare operations, 30 of which also include senior living operations, across 13 states.

The Company's overall strategy continues to include both leasing and acquiring real estate and the Company continues to actively consider opportunities to acquire both performing and underperforming operations in several states.

A discussion of the Company's use of non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is set forth below. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA guidance to Net Income on a forward-looking basis cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts, as the Company is unable to provide reconciling information with respect to provision for income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, acquisition related costs, losses incurred from debt restructuring, gains on lease termination, stock-based compensation expenses, losses from equity method investment in joint ventures, and other adjustment items all of which are adjustments to Adjusted EBITDA. Further discussion about the Company's results is contained in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2024, which is expected to be filed with the SEC today and can be viewed on the Company’s website at https://IR.pacs.com.

Key Skilled Services Metrics

We monitor the below key skilled services metrics across all of our facilities and by Mature facilities, Ramping facilities, and New facilities. Mature facilities are defined as facilities purchased more than 36 months prior to a respective measurement date. Ramping facilities are defined as facilities purchased within 18 to 36 months prior to a respective measurement date. New facilities are defined as facilities purchased less than 18 months prior to a respective measurement date.

• Skilled nursing services revenue — Skilled nursing services revenue reflects the portion of patient and resident service revenue generated from all patients in skilled nursing facilities, excluding revenue generated from our assisted and independent living services.
• Skilled mix — We measure both revenue and nursing patient days by payor. Medicare and managed care patients, whom we refer to as high acuity patients, typically require a higher level of skilled nursing care. As a result, Medicare and managed care reimbursement rates are typically higher than those from other payors. In most states, Medicaid reimbursement rates are generally the lowest of all payor types. Changes in the payor mix can significantly affect our revenue and profitability. To monitor this performance, we evaluate two different measures of skilled mix:
  • Skilled mix by revenue — Skilled mix by revenue represents the portion of routine revenue generated from treating high acuity Medicare and managed care patients. Routine revenue refers to skilled nursing services revenue generated by contracted daily rates charged for skilled nursing services. Services provided outside of routine contractual agreements are recorded separately as ancillary revenue, including Medicare Part B therapy services, and are not routine revenue. The inclusion of therapy and other ancillary treatments in the contracted daily rate varies by payor source and by contract. Revenue associated with calculating skilled mix is based on contractually agreed-upon amounts or rates, excluding the estimates of variable consideration under the revenue recognition standard, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606.
  • Skilled mix by nursing patient days — Skilled mix by nursing patient days represents the number of days our high acuity Medicare and managed care patients receive skilled nursing services at skilled nursing facilities as a percentage of the total number of days that patients from all payor sources receive skilled nursing services at skilled nursing facilities for any given period.
• Occupancy — The total number of patients occupying a bed in a skilled nursing facility as a percentage of the beds in such facility that are available for occupancy during the period.
• Number of facilities — The total number of skilled nursing facilities that we operate.
• Number of operational beds — The total number of operational beds associated with the skilled nursing facilities that we own.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results provided throughout that are determined in accordance with GAAP, we also present the following non-GAAP financial measures: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR (collectively, Non-GAAP Financial Measures). EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are performance measures. Adjusted EBITDAR is a valuation measure. These Non-GAAP Financial Measures have no standardized meaning defined by GAAP, and therefore have limitations as analytical tools, and they should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported in accordance with GAAP. You should review the reconciliation of net income to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures in the table above, together with our audited combined/consolidated financial statements and the related notes in their entirety, and should not rely on any single financial measure. Additionally, other companies may define these or similar Non-GAAP Financial Measures with the same or similar names differently, and because these Non-GAAP Financial Measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures to those of other companies.

Performance Measures

We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to facilitate internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis, as well as for business planning and forecasting purposes. In addition, we believe the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors, analysts and other interested parties in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our ongoing operating performance.

EBITDA – We calculate EBITDA as net income, adjusted for net losses attributable to noncontrolling interest, before: other expense, net; provision for income taxes; and depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA – We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA further adjusted for non-core business items, which for the reported periods includes, to the extent applicable, costs incurred to acquire operations that are not capitalizable, losses incurred from debt restructuring, gains on lease termination, stock-based compensation expense, loss from equity method investment in joint venture and certain one-time expenses that are not representative of our underlying operating performance. Costs related to acquisitions include costs related to our acquisition of SNF facilities and providers, including related costs such as legal fees, financial and tax due diligence, consulting and escrow fees. The loss related to our equity method investment in joint venture is a loss allocated to us from a discrete disposal recognized by one of our joint ventures.

Valuation Measure

We use Adjusted EBITDAR as a measure to determine the value of prospective acquisitions and to assess the enterprise value of our business without regard to differences in capital structures and leasing arrangements. In addition, we believe that Adjusted EBITDAR is also a commonly used measure by investors, analysts and other interested parties to compare the enterprise value of different companies in the healthcare industry without regard to differences in capital structures and leasing arrangements, particularly for companies with operating and finance leases. For example, finance lease expenditures are recorded in depreciation and interest and are therefore removed from Adjusted EBITDA, whereas operating lease expenditures are recorded in rent expense and are therefore retained in Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDAR is a financial valuation measure that is not specified in GAAP, and is not displayed as a performance measure as it excludes rent expense, which is a normal and recurring cash operating expense, and is therefore presented only for the current period. While we believe that Adjusted EBITDAR provides useful insight regarding our underlying operations, excluding the impact of our operating leases, we must still incur cash operating expenses related to our operating leases and rent and such expenses are necessary to operate our leased operations. As a result, Adjusted EBITDAR may understate the extent of our cash operating expenses for the respective period relative to our actual cash needs to operate our leased operations and business.

Adjusted EBITDAR – We calculate Adjusted EBITDAR as Adjusted EBITDA less rent-cost of services.
