Prospect Medical zu myNews hinzufügen Was ist das?
Prospect Medical Holdings, Inc. (NYSE Alternext US: PZZ) ("Prospect”), which owns and operates four community-based hospitals and manages the medical care of approximately 190,300 HMO enrollees in southern California, today announced financial results for its fiscal 2009 first quarter ended December 31, 2008. Results for all periods exclude the Antelope Valley entities since their sale on August 1, 2008, and pre-sale results have been classified as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements.
The successful initiatives undertaken by Prospect have resulted in significant cost and operating efficiencies, as evidenced by improved gross and operating margins, and substantial growth in Adjusted EBITDA. Holding Company expenses declined by 19.8% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2008, exclusive of interest and interest rate swap items. The combined impact of interest expense associated with the Company’s long-term debt, and related non-cash charges associated with expected fluctuations in the market value of interest rate swap arrangements, produced a net loss for the period. Prospect continues to meet all of its credit obligations and reduce long-term debt, while generating positive cash flow from operations of $1.5 million during the first quarter and maintaining a strong cash and investments position of $33.7 million at quarter-end.
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OVERVIEW
Consolidated revenues for the first quarter of 2009 rose 7.2% to $83.5 million from $77.9 million last year. Contributions from Alta Hospitals System ("Alta”), which comprise the Hospital Services segment, rose 29.5% to $35.3 million from $27.3 million in the same period last year. Revenues at the IPA Management segment were $48.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2009, as compared to $50.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, with the decrease due primarily to the Company canceling certain unprofitable Medi-Cal contracts and lower HMO enrollment.
Operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 increased 119.7%, to $9.9 million, from $4.5 million in the same period last year.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, interest expense rose to $6.1 million from $4.2 million in the same period last year, and non-cash charges related to changes in the fair market value of the Company’s interest rate swap arrangements totaled $9.7 million as compared to $0.9 million in the same period one year ago. The combined impact of these expenses resulted in a net loss attributable to common stockholders for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 of $3.4 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, on approximately 20.5 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding. This compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $2.4 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, on approximately 11.7 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding. The net loss attributable to common shareholders for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 included $1.9 million of non-cash, preferred stock dividends; there were no such dividends in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.
As previously disclosed, following modifications made to the terms of the Company’s debt arrangements during the third quarter of fiscal 2008, the non-cash changes in fair market value of the Company’s interest-rate swap arrangements were required to be reflected in the income statement. These fluctuations, and their related non-cash income statement impact, are expected to continue throughout the lives of the Company’s interest rate swap arrangements (July, 2014), and will either increase or decrease net income during this period. The amount of such increase or decrease correlates to fluctuations in the LIBOR rates underlying the Company’s interest rate swap arrangements, with any large fluctuations in LIBOR translating into correspondingly large non-cash gains or losses being reflected in the Company’s income statement. The $9.7 million charge during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 reflects the change in market value of the Company’s interest rate swap arrangements between September 30, 2008, when the applicable LIBOR rate was 3.70%, and December 31, 2008, when the applicable LIBOR rate was 0.46%. On a cumulative basis, these non-cash gains or losses are expected to net to zero, provided the related interest rate swaps are held to maturity. Additionally, the quarterly amounts of such gains or losses are expected to decrease over time, as the amount of swap coverage and the remaining swap durations decrease.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 increased 42.9% to $12.0 million, from $8.4 million in the same period last year. For the trailing twelve month period ended December 31, 2008, Adjusted EBITDA was $43.7 million (see accompanying reconciliation tables in this release).

Managed care revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 decreased by approximately $2.4 million, or 4.8%, compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2008. This decrease reflects the combined impact of ProMed’s cancellation of certain unprofitable Medi-Cal contracts and lower HMO enrollment, offset by rate increases.
Managed care cost of revenues decreased to 78.1% of total managed care revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 from 81.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. This decrease resulted primarily from the cancellation of the unprofitable contracts referenced above and improved management of claims expense at Prospect’s legacy IPA operations.
General and administrative ("G&A”) expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 declined to $7.2 million from $7.5 million in the prior year quarter, due primarily to implementation of cost control initiatives at Prospect’s legacy IPA operations.
Income from unconsolidated joint ventures amounted to approximately $0.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared to approximately $0.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008.
Operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 was $2.8 million, as compared to an operating income of $1.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008.
Hospital Services
Prospect’s Hospital Services segment consists of Alta’s four community-based hospitals in southern California. Prospect acquired Alta in August 2007.

| Total operating expenses | 26,205 | 21,667 | ||||
| Operating income | $ | 9,118 | $ | 5,619 | ||
Net hospital services revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 increased by approximately $8.0 million, or 29.5%, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2008. This reflected the combined impact, across all major payer classes, of increased inpatient admissions, length of stay, patient days and occupancy rates.
Hospital operating expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 increased by approximately $4.1 million, or 23.0%, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2008. As a percentage of net hospital services revenues, hospital operating expenses declined to 62.7% from 66.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, given efficiencies attained when operating at higher levels of capacity.
General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 increased by approximately $0.5 million, or 20.7%, compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2008. As a percentage of net hospital services revenues, these expenses declined to 9.0% from 9.6% in last year’s fiscal first quarter. Again, the volume increases described above were offset by operating efficiencies.
Use of Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP”). Management believes Adjusted EBITDA, in addition to operating income, net income and other GAAP measures, is a useful indicator of Prospect’s financial and operating performance and its ability to generate cash flows from operations that are available for taxes and capital expenditures. Investors should recognize that Adjusted EBITDA might not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. This measure should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, any measure of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA amounts to the most directly comparable GAAP measures for each of the quarterly periods in fiscal 2008 and the first quarter of fiscal 2009 are included in the financial information provided as part of this release.
CONFERENCE CALL
Management will host a conference call on Wednesday, February 18th, 2009 at 2:00 pm ET / 11:00 am PT, to discuss these results. Interested parties may participate in the call by dialing (866) 267-2584 (Domestic) or (706) 634-4739 (International) approximately 10 minutes before the call is scheduled to begin and ask to be connected to the Prospect Medical Holdings conference call.
