FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MEDNAX Reports Third Quarter Results

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., November 6, 2020—MEDNAX, Inc. (NYSE: MD), the national health solutions partner specializing in prenatal, neonatal, and pediatric services, today reported a net loss of $41.0 million, or $0.49 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2020, primarily reflecting a non-cash loss on the classification of the MEDNAX Radiology Solutions medical group to assets held for sale. On a non-GAAP basis, MEDNAX reported Adjusted EPS from continuing operations of $0.37.

On September 9, MEDNAX entered into a definitive agreement to sell MEDNAX Radiology Solutions. The results for MEDNAX Radiology Solutions have been classified as discontinued operations beginning with the third quarter of 2020, and prior period results have been conformed to the current period presentation for comparison purposes. For the third quarter of 2020, MEDNAX Radiology Solutions generated net revenue and Adjusted EBITDA of $125.8 million and $21.1 million, respectively.

For the 2020 third quarter, MEDNAX reported the following results from continuing operations:

 

   

Net revenue of $461 million;

 

   

Loss of $3 million; and

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA of $73 million.

“We believe the meaningful recovery in patient volumes experienced during the third quarter demonstrates the critical nature of services our affiliated physicians and clinicians provide to their patients across the spectrum of women’s and children’s care,” said Mark S. Ordan, Chief Executive Officer of MEDNAX. “In addition, we achieved several important milestones, in particular our announced definitive agreement to sell MEDNAX Radiology Solutions. This transaction will enable us to focus fully on our core services within our Pediatrix and Obstetrix Medical Groups, which we believe will enable us to support our practices, grow efficiently and effectively, and drive strong bottom line results.”


Operating Results from Continuing Operations – Three Months Ended September 30, 2020

In addition to the announced agreement to sell MEDNAX Radiology Solutions, as previously disclosed, on May 6, 2020, MEDNAX completed the sale of its anesthesiology medical group, American Anesthesiology. The Company’s discussion of its results from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the prior-year periods excludes the operating results from these businesses. Additionally, quarterly results from continuing operations, including non-GAAP metrics and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, for 2019 and 2020 are available on the Company’s website.

During the 2020 third quarter, MEDNAX’s operations continued to be impacted by reductions in patient volumes and revenue as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, although this impact was less significant than that experienced during the first half of 2020. The impact to net revenue was relatively consistent throughout the quarter.

MEDNAX’s net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $460.6 million, compared to $454.9 million for the prior-year period. MEDNAX’s overall same-unit revenue declined by 0.4 percent, offset by growth attributable to recent acquisitions. During the 2020 third quarter, the Company received $14.2 million from the provider relief fund established by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, which was recorded as miscellaneous revenue and increased the Company’s same-unit revenue from net reimbursement-related factors by 3.1 percent.

Same-unit revenue attributable to patient volume decreased by 4.3 percent for the 2020 third quarter as compared to the prior-year period, and as compared to a decrease of approximately 9.0 percent for the 2020 second quarter. In each case this decline was primarily attributable to the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic.

For the quarter, same-unit patient volumes within the Company’s hospital-based Pediatrix and Obstetrix services lines, which include neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and other NICU related services, declined by approximately five percent.

Within hospital-based services, NICU patient days decreased by 3.9 percent for the third quarter compared to the prior-year period, which reflects lower births at the hospitals where MEDNAX-affiliated practices provide neonatology services and a lower rate of admission into the NICU, partially offset by a modest increase in average length of stay. For the 2020 third quarter, total births at the hospitals where MEDNAX-affiliated practices provide neonatology services declined year-over-year by 3.2 percent, as compared to an increase of 1.7 percent year-over-year for the 2019 third quarter.

For the quarter, same-unit patient volumes within the Company’s office-based service lines, which include maternal-fetal medicine, pediatric cardiology and other pediatric subspecialty services, declined by approximately five percent. This decline was driven by declines in pediatric cardiology and other patient volumes and only a slight decline in maternal-fetal medicine patient volumes.


Same-unit revenue from net reimbursement-related factors increased by 3.9 percent for the 2020 third quarter as compared to the prior-year period. The net increase in revenue from net reimbursement-related factors reflects funds received under the CARES Act and modest improvements in managed care contracting, partially offset by a reduction in revenue from a decrease in the percentage of services reimbursed by commercial and other non-government payors. The percentage of patients reimbursed under commercial and other non-government programs decreased by approximately 85 basis points compared with the prior-year period.

For the 2020 third quarter, practice salaries and benefits expense was $309.9 million, compared to $301.3 million for the prior-year period, an increase of $8.6 million. This increase primarily reflects approximately $6 million related to the incentive compensation impact from provider relief funds received under the CARES Act during the third quarter of 2020.

For the 2020 third quarter, general and administrative expenses were $66.3 million, as compared to $63.3 million for the prior-year period. General and administrative expenses for the 2020 third quarter include approximately $10 million in expenses incurred as part of the Company’s transitional services being provided to the buyer of American Anesthesiology, partially offset by salary and net staffing reductions. MEDNAX was reimbursed for these transition services expenses and recorded such reimbursement as a component of investment and other income within non-operating income.

As previously disclosed, MEDNAX has incurred certain expenses related to transformational and restructuring activities. For the third quarter of 2020, these expenses totaled $34.3 million, compared to $12.8 million for the third quarter of 2019. Of the expense recorded during the third quarter of 2020, $26.7 million related to executive management and board of directors restructuring, while the remainder related to third-party consulting fees, contract termination fees, and position eliminations.

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, which is defined as earnings from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and transformational and restructuring related expenses, was $72.7 million for the 2020 third quarter, compared to $69.3 million for the prior-year period. Funds received from the provider relief fund established by the CARES Act impacted Adjusted EBITDA positively by approximately $8 million for the 2020 third quarter.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $7.2 million for the third quarter of 2020 compared to $6.4 million for the third quarter of 2019.

Investment and other income was $10.5 million for the third quarter of 2020 compared to $0.8 million for the third quarter of 2019. This increase primarily represents the reimbursement related to the transition services being provided to American Anesthesiology.

Interest expense was $27.3 million for the third quarter of 2020 compared to $29.9 million for the third quarter of 2019. This decline primarily reflects lower average borrowings compared to the prior-year period.


MEDNAX generated a loss from continuing operations of $2.7 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the 2020 third quarter, based on a weighted average 83.9 million shares outstanding. This compares with income from continuing operations of $12.9 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the 2019 third quarter, based on a weighted average 82.9 million shares outstanding.

For the third quarter of 2020, MEDNAX reported Adjusted EPS from continuing operations of $0.37, compared to $0.38 for the third quarter of 2019. For these periods, Adjusted EPS from continuing operations is defined as diluted (loss) income from continuing operations per common and common equivalent share excluding non-cash amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, transformational and restructuring related expenses and discrete tax items.

Operating Results from Continuing Operations – Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, MEDNAX generated revenue from continuing operations of $1.32 billion, effectively unchanged from the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $161.6 million, compared to $187.0 million for the prior year. MEDNAX reported a loss from continuing operations of $14.1 million, or $0.17 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, based on a weighted average 83.3 million shares outstanding, which compares to income from continuing operations of $32.3 million, or $0.38 per share, based on a weighted average 84.3 million shares outstanding for the first nine months of 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, MEDNAX reported Adjusted EPS from continuing operations of $0.70, compared to $0.96 for the same period of 2019.

Financial Position and Cash Flow – Continuing Operations

MEDNAX had cash and cash equivalents of $294.5 million at September 30, 2020, compared to $132.2 million on June 30, 2020, and net accounts receivable were $267.1 million.

During the third quarter of 2020, MEDNAX generated cash from continuing operations of $127.1 million, compared to $56.7 million during the third quarter of 2019, primarily reflecting lower income tax payments in 2020.

At September 30, 2020, MEDNAX had no outstanding borrowings under its $1.2 billion revolving credit facility and had total debt outstanding of $1.75 billion, consisting solely of its senior notes, and net debt of $1.46 billion.

“Our cash inflows and reduced net debt demonstrate MEDNAX’s strong financial profile, especially given the challenges presented to the Company and all healthcare providers thus far in 2020,” said Marc Richards, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “Including the anticipated proceeds from the sale of MEDNAX Radiology Solutions, we expect to be well positioned to reduce our total borrowings, support our practices internally, and fund our strategic growth in the future.”

Discontinued Operations


The results for MEDNAX Radiology Solutions, American Anesthesiology and MedData, the Company’s former management services organization, are presented as discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and all prior periods as relevant.

During the third quarter of 2020, the Company reported a loss from discontinued operations of $38.4 million, which predominantly reflects a loss on the classification of MEDNAX Radiology Solutions as assets held for sale as of September 30, 2020.

Non-GAAP Measures

A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EPS from continuing operations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 and Adjusted EBITDA for MEDNAX Radiology Solutions to the most directly comparable GAAP measure for the three months ended September 30, 2020 is provided in the financial tables of this press release.
