U.S. Physical Therapy Reports Record Quarterly and
Six Months Operating Results
 
Company Raises Annual Earnings Guidance and Declares Quarterly Dividend
 
 
Houston, TX, August 2, 2018  – U.S. Physical Therapy, Inc. ("USPH" or the “Company”) (NYSE: USPH), a national operator of outpatient physical therapy clinics, today reported results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018.
 
 For the quarter ended June 30, 2018, USPH’s Operating Results increased 24.4% to $9.2 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, as compared to $7.4 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2017. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, USPH’s Operating Results increased 17.3% to $16.4 million, or $1.29 per diluted share, as compared to $14.0 million, or $1.11 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2017. Operating Results, a non-generally accepted accounting principles (“non-GAAP”) measure, for the 2018 second quarter and first six months results equal net income attributable to USPH shareholders. For the 2017 second quarter and first six months, Operating Results is defined as net income attributable to USPH shareholders prior to charge for interest expense – mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests – change in redemption value and charge for cost related to restatement of financials – legal and accounting, both charges net of tax.
 
For the quarter ended June 30, 2018, USPH’s net income attributable to its shareholders, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), was $9.2 million as compared to $4.9 million for the second quarter of 2017. Earnings per diluted share of $0.48 in the second quarter of 2018 compares to $0.39 per diluted share for the 2017 second quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, USPH’s net income attributable to its shareholders, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), was $16.4 million as compared to $9.8 million for the comparable period of 2017. Earnings per diluted share of $0.74 in the 2018 first six months compares to $0.78 per diluted share for the 2017 first six months. For both periods of 2018, in accordance with current accounting guidance, the revaluation of redeemable non-controlling interest, net of tax, is not included in net income but rather charged directly to retained earnings, but is included in the earnings per basic and diluted share calculation. See the schedule on page 13 for a computation of diluted earnings per share and a reconciliation of net income attributable to USPH shareholders to Operating Results.
 
 
Second Quarter 2018 Compared to Second Quarter 2017
 
· Net revenues increased $10.8 million, or 10.4%, from $104.3 million in the 2017 second quarter to $115.1 million in the 2018 second quarter, primarily due to an increase in net patient revenues from physical therapy operations from both internal growth and acquisitions, an increase in revenue from management contracts primarily due to acquired contracts and an increase in the revenue from the industrial injury prevention business from a combination of internal growth plus a recent acquisition.

Raising 2018 Earnings Guidance

The Company is raising earnings guidance for the year 2018. Management currently expects the Company's Operating Results for the year 2018 to be in the range of $31.1 million to $32.3 million or $2.45 to $2.55 per share. Previous 2018 earning guidance had been for Operating Results of $29.5 million to $30.9 million or $2.34 to $2.44 per diluted share. Please note that the earnings guidance represents projected operating results from existing operations but excludes future acquisitions. The annual guidance figures may not be updated unless there is a material development that causes management to believe that operating results will be significantly outside the given range. 
 
Management's Comments
 
Chris Reading, Chief Executive Officer, said, "Last year we embarked on making a number of changes in order to create the kind of results we are producing in 2018.  I am proud of our partners and their staffs, our regional operations teams and our Houston-based support groups for working together to move market share, get a handle on cost, and to continue our daily focus to make a difference in the lives of our patients.  While we have more work to do and continued opportunity to improve, I am encouraged by our performance to date.  Additionally and importantly, our industrial injury prevention business has grown significantly over the past year, both organically and through the recent acquisition."
Larry McAfee, Chief Financial Officer, noted, "The gross margin for the Company's industrial injury prevention business grew from $.7 million in the second quarter of 2017 to $1.5 million in the comparable 2018 period. The gross margin percentage grew from 15.0% to 24.4%."

Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests
Effective December 31, 2017, the Company entered into amendments to its acquired limited partnership agreements replacing the mandatory redemption feature. No monetary consideration was paid to the partners to amend the agreements. The amended Partnership Agreements provide that, upon certain events, the Company has a call right (the "Call Right") and the selling entity has a put right (the "Put Right") for the purchase and sale of the limited partnership interest held by the partner.  Once the terms are triggered, the Put Right and the Call Right do not expire, even upon an individual partner's death, and contain no mandatory redemption feature.  The purchase price of the partner's limited partnership interest upon the exercise of either the Put Right or the Call Right is calculated per the original terms of the respective agreements. The Company accounted for the amendment of its Partnership Agreements as an extinguishment of the outstanding Seller Entity Interests classified as liabilities through the issuance of new Seller Entity Interests classified in temporary equity. Pursuant to ASC 470-50-40-2, the Company removed the outstanding liability-classified Seller Entity Interests at their carrying amounts and recognized the new temporary-equity-classified Seller Entity Interests at their fair value. In summary, the redemption values of the mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest (previously classified as liabilities) were reclassified as redeemable non-controlling interest (temporary equity) on the December 31, 2017 consolidated balance sheet. For 2018, in accordance with current accounting guidance, the revaluation of redeemable non-controlling interest, net of tax, will be charged directly to retained earnings and will be included in the earnings per basic and diluted share calculation.

U.S. Physical Therapy Declares Quarterly Dividend
 
The third quarterly dividend for 2018 of $0.23 per share will be paid on September 7, 2018 to shareholders of record as of August 14, 2018. U.S. Physical Therapy began paying quarterly dividends in 2011 and has increased the dividend amount every year since.

OPERATING RESULTS AND ADJUSTED EBITDA
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
(unaudited)
 
 
The following tables provide a detail of the diluted earnings per share computation and reconcile net income attributable to USPH shareholders calculated in accordance with GAAP to Operating Results and Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes providing Operating Results and Adjusted EBITDA to investors is useful information for comparing the Company's period-to-period results.   

For 2018, Operating Results equal net income attributable to USPH shareholders and, in accordance with current accounting guidance, the revaluation of redeemable non-controlling interest, net of tax, charged directly to retained earnings is included in the earnings per diluted share calculation.   For the 2017 first quarter, Operating Results, a non-generally accepted accounting principles ("non-GAAP") measure, is defined as net income attributable to common shareholders prior to interest expense – mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests – change in redemption value and charge for cost related to restatement of financials – legal and accounting, both charges net of tax.
Operating Results for the two periods are comparable, however, the calculations differ.  Management uses Operating Results, which eliminates this current non-cash item that can be subject to volatility and unusual costs, as one of the principal measures to evaluate and monitor financial performance period over period.  Management believes that Operating Results is useful information for investors to use in comparing the Company's period-to-period results as well as for comparing with other similar businesses since most do not have mandatorily redeemable instruments and therefore have different liability and equity structures.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest income, interest expense – mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests – change in redemption value, interest expense – debt and other, taxes, depreciation, amortization and equity-based awards compensation expense.   Management believes reporting Adjusted EBITDA is useful information for investors in comparing the Company's period-to-period results as well as comparing with similar businesses which report adjusted EBITDA as defined by their company.

Operating Results and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute for, net income attributable to USPH shareholders presented in the consolidated financial statements.
