2015 Outlook:

Team Health Holdings, Inc. ("TeamHealth" or the "Company") (NYSE: TMH), a leading provider of outsourced physician staffing solutions for hospitals in the United States, today announced results for its first quarter of 2015.

"We are extremely pleased with our financial results as we generated another quarter of double digit revenue, earnings and Adjusted EBITDA growth. These results reflect a record top line performance for the Company, with strong momentum and performance delivered across all of our growth drivers," said TeamHealth President and Chief Executive Officer, Mike Snow.

"First quarter consolidated revenue growth was driven by positive contributions from acquisitions, same contract results, and net new contract sales.  The company benefited from the significant number of transactions closed in 2014, as the financial performance of our recent acquisitions contributed the largest element of our revenue increase in the quarter.  In addition, we experienced robust patient volume growth and continued to see a reduction in the percentage of uninsured patients that helped contribute to strong same contract performance. Net new contracts were the third largest contributor to our revenue growth, as hospitals and physician groups are increasingly turning to TeamHealth for our best in class healthcare solutions.  These results reflect our integrated and complementary approach to achieving our financial targets.

"As a result of our financial performance in the first quarter, and our current expectations about operating trends and growth opportunities for the remainder of the year, we have increased our estimates for net revenue growth for fiscal year 2015 to range between $3.36 billion and $3.41 billion, reflecting an annual growth rate of 19.0% to 21.0%. We continue to target an Adjusted EBITDA margin of between 10.5% and 11.0%.  We remain confident in our ability to execute in the current environment and provide support to our affiliated clinicians and hospital partners while achieving our operational and financial goals for 2015," concluded Mr. Snow.

2015 First Quarter Results

Net revenue increased 31.0% to $840.5 million from $641.7 million in the first quarter of 2014. Acquisitions contributed 20.0%, same contract revenue contributed 7.0%, and net sales growth contributed 3.9% of the increase in quarter-over-quarter growth in net revenue.  Within the acquisitions category, new hospital contracting opportunities that were initially developed by our sales and marketing process contributed 5.3% of overall net revenue growth between quarters.      

Same contract revenue increased $44.9 million, or 7.5%, to $645.3 million from $600.4 million in the first quarter of 2014.  A 9.1% increase in same contract volumes, supported by increased flu activity in the quarter, contributed 6.6% to same contract growth while an increase of 1.0% in estimated collections on fee for service visits provided a 1.0% increase in same contract revenue growth between quarters.  The increase in estimated collections per visit was constrained by a reduction in Medicaid parity revenue and lower patient acuity in the current quarter.  Contract and other revenue reduced same contract revenue growth between quarters by 0.1%. Acquisitions contributed $128.6 million of revenue growth and net new contract revenue increased by $25.3 million between quarters.  The benefit from Medicaid parity revenue recognized in the first quarter of 2015 was $1.5 million, of which $1.0 million is same contract revenue.  The first quarter of 2014 Medicaid parity revenue was $8.8 million, of which $8.5 million is same contract.  The decline in parity revenue between periods constrained consolidated revenue growth by 1.1% and same contract revenue growth by 1.2% between quarters.

The components of net revenue include revenue from contracts that have been in effect for prior periods (same contracts) and from net, new and acquired contracts during the periods, as set forth in the table below:

Net earnings attributable to Team Health Holdings, Inc. ("Net earnings") for the quarter were $28.1 million, or $0.38 diluted net earnings per share, compared to net earnings of $23.8 million, or $0.33 diluted net earnings per share, in the first quarter of 2014.  The financial results for the first quarter of 2015 included $7.9 million of contingent purchase and other acquisition compensation expense ($6.8 million after-tax), and non-cash amortization expense of $20.3 million ($14.5 million after-tax).  Excluding these items, net earnings for the first quarter of 2015 would have been $49.4 million and Adjusted EPS would have been $0.68 per share.  Financial results for the first quarter of 2014 included $10.1 million of contingent purchase and other acquisition compensation expense ($7.0 million after-tax), and non-cash amortization expense of $11.1 million ($7.5 million after-tax).  Excluding these items, net earnings for the first quarter of 2014 would have been $38.3 million and Adjusted EPS would have been $0.54 per share.

See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliations" and "Adjusted Earnings Per Share" below for the definition of Adjusted EPS and its reconciliation to net earnings and diluted earnings per share attributable to Team Health Holdings, Inc.

The following table set forth a reconciliation of diluted earnings per share to Adjusted EPS (note that some totals may not add due to rounding).

Cash flow provided by operations for the quarter was $2.5 million compared to $34.2 million in the first quarter of 2014.  There were $3.9 million of contingent purchase payments made in the first quarter of 2015 and $0.1 million contingent purchase payments in 2014.  Excluding the impact of the contingent purchase payments in 2015 and 2014, operating cash flows were $6.4 million in 2015 compared to $34.2 million in 2014.  The reduction in operating cash flow in the first quarter of 2015 reflects an increased level of accounts receivable funding associated with growth in the number of new and acquired contracts as well as an increase in the funding of benefit and incentive plans when compared to the prior year. As of March 31, 2015, net accounts receivable were $549.6 million compared to $500.6 million as of December 31, 2014. Net days in accounts receivable were 60.0 days compared to 59.0 days at December 31, 2014.

Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter increased 24.4% to $89.3 million from $71.8 million in the first quarter of 2014, and Adjusted EBITDA margin was 10.6% in 2015 compared to 11.2% in 2014.  Excluding the impact of Medicaid parity in both periods (assuming an Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 70% on parity revenue), Adjusted EBITDA margin would have been 10.5% in the first quarter of 2015 and 10.4% in 2014.  See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliations" and "Adjusted EBITDA" below for the definitions of Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA and its reconciliation to net earnings attributable to Team Health Holdings, Inc.

Forward Looking Statements

Statements and information contained herein that are not historical facts and that reflect the current view of the Company about future events and financial performance are hereby identified as "forward looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Some of these statements can be identified by terms and phrases such as "anticipate," "believe," "intend," "estimate," "expect," "continue," "could," "should," "may," "plan," "project," "predict" and similar expressions.  The Company cautions  that such "forward looking statements," including without limitation, those relating to the Company's future business prospects, revenue, working capital, professional liability expense, liquidity, capital needs, interest costs and income, wherever they occur in this or in other statements attributable to the Company, are necessarily estimates reflecting the judgment of the Company's senior management and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the "forward looking statements."  Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements include but are not limited to current or future government regulation of the healthcare industry, exposure to professional liability lawsuits and governmental agency investigations, the adequacy of insurance coverage and insurance reserves, as well as those factors detailed under the caption "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the Company's most recent annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Company's "forward looking statements" speak only as of the date hereof and the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update "forward looking statements" herein to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events, or changes to future operating results over time.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliations

In this release we refer to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted Earnings per Share ("Adjusted EPS") which are financial measures that are calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP").   Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net earnings attributable to Team Health Holdings, Inc. before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to exclude the non-cash items and the other adjustments shown in the table under "Adjusted EBITDA" in the release.  Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue.  Adjusted EPS is defined as diluted earnings per share attributable to Team Health Holdings, Inc. excluding non-cash and other adjustments, including the impact of contingent purchase and other acquisition compensation expense and amortization expense relating to purchase accounting for historical acquisitions and the other adjustments shown in the table under "Adjusted Earnings Per Share" in the release.  For a reconciliation of each of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, we refer you to the tables under "Adjusted EBITDA" and "Adjusted Earnings Per Share," respectively, contained in the release.

Adjusted EBITDA

We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance.  We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it assists investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance or liquidity under generally accepted accounting principles.  In evaluating our performance as measured by Adjusted EBITDA, management recognizes and considers the limitations of this measure.  Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect certain cash expenses that we are obligated to make, and although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.  In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do or may not calculate it at all, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.  Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings, operating income, cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities, or any other measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Adjusted Earnings Per Share

We present Adjusted earnings per share attributable to Team Health Holdings, Inc. ("Adjusted EPS") as a supplemental measure of our performance.  We present Adjusted EPS because we believe that it assists investors in understanding the impact of acquisition-related costs on our earnings per share and comparing our performance across operating periods on a consistent basis and provides additional insight into our core earnings performance.  Adjusted EPS is not a measurement of financial performance or liquidity under generally accepted accounting principles.  In evaluating our performance as measured by Adjusted EPS, management recognizes and considers the limitations of this measure.  Adjusted EPS does not reflect certain cash expenses that we are obligated to make, and although contingent purchase and other acquisition compensation expense and amortization expense are non-cash charges in the period reported, such charges reflect historical or future cash payments in conjunction with our acquisition transactions.  In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EPS differently than we do or may not calculate it at all, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.  Because of these limitations, Adjusted EPS should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings, operating income, basic and diluted earnings per share, cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities, or any other measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
