BRENTWOOD, Tenn., Feb. 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Surgery Partners, Inc. (NASDAQ:SGRY) ("Surgery Partners" or the "Company"), a leading provider of surgical services, today announced results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2021.

Wayne DeVeydt, Executive Chairman of the Board of Surgery Partners, noted, “Our financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2021 continue to reflect the strength and resiliency of our business model. As the migration of high acuity surgical cases continues to our lower cost, high quality setting, we are poised to continue to capitalize on these broad industry trends and remain optimistic about achieving sustainable double-digit Adjusted EBITDA growth.”

Eric Evans, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “With revenue growth of 11% in the fourth quarter and nearly 20% for the year, we are reporting growth consistent with our expectations and returning to pre-pandemic levels. Our teams remain focused on providing a superior product to our patients and physicians as we continue to make investment in our core capabilities including physician recruitment, building new, high-acuity service lines, and effectively managing our supply chain which have collectively helped us navigate through this pandemic. On a same-facility basis, net revenue grew nearly 10% in the quarter and 18% for the year, giving us significant momentum as we enter 2022. When coupled with our consistent and accretive deployment of capital, which totaled $325 million in 2021, of which $185 million was deployed in late December, our growth trajectory is strong and gives us high confidence in in our 2022 guidance.”

Dave Doherty, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “As we entered 2021, we expected Surgery Partners to maintain its long-term growth outlook and we are pleased to report results that confirmed that expectation. It is off these strong results and the underlying business performance that we are raising our Adjusted EBITDA guidance to a range of $370 million to $380 million. Our meaningful cash on the balance sheet and overall strong liquidity position allows us to remain committed to our annual capital deployment goals of at least $200 million. We have a robust pipeline of potential targets that will be additive to our strong organic growth.”

Fourth Quarter 2021 Results

Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2021 increased 11.3% to $610.2 million from $548.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. Days adjusted same-facility revenues for the fourth quarter of 2021 increased 9.6% from the same period last year, with a 5.2% increase in revenue per case and a 4.2% increase in same-facility cases. For the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company’s net loss attributable to common stockholders and Adjusted EBITDA were $0.1 million and $114.4 million, respectively, compared to $4.8 million and $90.8 million for the same period last year. For the fourth quarter of 2021 and 2020, Adjusted EBITDA benefited from recognition of $11.6 million and $9.2 million of CARES Act grants, respectively. Excluding CARES Act grants in the fourth quarter 2021 and 2020, Adjusted EBITDA would have been $102.8 million and $81.6 million, respectively.

Full Year 2021 Results

Revenues for 2021 increased 19.6% to $2,225.1 million from $1,860.1 million in 2020. Days adjusted same-facility revenues for the year ended 2021 increased 18.1% from the prior year, with a 0.5% increase in revenue per case and a 17.6% increase in same-facility cases.

Liquidity

Surgery Partners had cash and cash equivalents of $389.9 million and $203.0 million of borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility at December 31, 2021. Cash flows from operating activities was $19.7 million for the fourth quarter 2021, compared to $8.9 million for the same period in 2020. Net operating cash outflows, defined as operating cash flows less distributions to non-controlling interests, was $13.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2021.

Operating cash flows were $87.1 million for 2021, compared to $246.9 million for 2020. Net operating cash outflows, defined as operating cash flows less distributions to non-controlling interests, was $43.9 million for the full year 2021. The decrease in operating cash flows was driven primarily by cash inflows of government grants and Medicare advance payments provided through the CARES Act as well as actions taken to significantly reduce cash operating expenses and defer non-essential expenditures during the prior year. The Company additionally began repayments of Medicare advanced payments during the second quarter of 2021 and has repaid approximately $60 million as of December 31, 2021. Further, on April 1, 2021, the Company made the final $30.7 million payment plus interest to the United States Department of Justice in relation to the April 2020 settlement involving a toxicology lab and pain management medical practice based in Tampa, Florida. The Company ceased operations at its toxicology lab in the third quarter of 2020.

The Company’s ratio of total net debt to EBITDA, as calculated under the Company’s credit agreement, was 5.58x at the end of 2021. Excluding approximately $60 million of remaining cash advanced under the Medicare advance payments program, the Company's ratio of total net debt to EBITDA, as calculated under the Company's credit agreement, would have increased by 0.1x at the end of 2021.

2022 Outlook

The Company projects that it will be able to grow 2022 revenues to at least $2.5 billion, representing at least 12% growth over 2021 results and projects 2022 Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $370 million to $380 million.

(1)	For the three months ended December 31, 2021, this amount reflects transaction and integration costs of $15.1 million. For the three months ended December 31, 2020, this amount includes transaction and integration costs of $7.4 million and start-up costs related to a de novo surgical hospital of $0.6 million.
	For the year ended December 31, 2021, this amount includes transaction and integration costs of $39.8 million and start-up costs related to a de novo surgical hospital of $6.3 million. For the year ended December 31, 2020, this amount includes transaction and integration costs of $23.2 million and start-up costs related to a de novo surgical hospital of $15.0 million.
(2)	This amount reflects other litigation costs of $1.3 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
	This amount includes litigation settlement costs of $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 with no comparable costs in 2021. This amount also includes other litigation costs of $5.6 million and $5.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively
(3)	Included in other income in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020, with no comparable gain in the other periods.
(4)	Reflects the impact of insurance proceeds received net of operating losses incurred in the six months ended December 31, 2021, at a surgical facility that was closed following Hurricane Ida.
(5)	We use Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by management to assess operating performance, make business decisions and allocate resources. Non-controlling interests represent the interests of third parties, such as physicians, and in some cases, healthcare systems that own an interest in surgical facilities that we consolidate for financial reporting purposes. We believe that it is helpful to investors to present Adjusted EBITDA as defined above because it excludes the portion of net income attributable to these third-party interests and clarifies for investors our portion of Adjusted EBITDA generated by our surgical facilities and other operations. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income or any other measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. The items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and evaluating our financial performance. We believe such adjustments are appropriate, as the magnitude and frequency of such items can vary significantly and are not related to the assessment of normal operating performance. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
(6)	Represents the impact of grant funds recognized, net of amounts attributable to non-controlling interests.

From time to time, the Company incurs certain non-recurring gains or losses that are normally non-operational in nature and that it does not consider relevant in assessing its ongoing operating performance. When significant, Surgery Partners’ management and its Board of Directors typically exclude these gains or losses when evaluating the Company’s operating performance and in certain instances when evaluating performance for incentive compensation purposes. Additionally, management believes that certain investors and equity analysts exclude these or similar items when evaluating the Company’s current or future operating performance and in making informed investment decisions regarding the Company. Accordingly, the Company provides adjusted net gain (loss) attributable to common stockholders and adjusted net gain (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders as supplements to the comparable GAAP financial measures. Adjusted net gain (loss) attributable to common stockholders and adjusted net gain (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders should not be considered measures of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded from such measures are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance.
