Operating Results
“We are pleased to report solid results for the first quarter, which are headlined by record performance in our home health and hospice segment," commented Daniel Walker, Pennant's Chief Executive Officer. "The peak of the second wave of COVID-19 and the severe winter storm in Texas made a noticeable impact on our first quarter results in our senior living segment. As we relentlessly execute on our ongoing effort to attract and retain high-caliber leaders, we are confident we can continue to achieve excellent results in our home health and hospice segment and strong improvement in our senior living business. We are deeply grateful for the herculean efforts of individuals across our local operations to provide excellent care to our patients, residents and fellow employees during such a challenging period.”
Commenting on the operating results, Mr. Walker reported, “Our home health and hospice segment continues to grow rapidly, posting record results in a quarter that historically has experienced seasonal weakness. Segment revenue and adjusted EBITDA increased 31.4% and 43.7%, respectively, in the first quarter over the prior year quarter on the back of extraordinary growth in admissions, average daily census and Medicare revenue per episode. The majority of this earnings growth occurred in same-store agencies acquired more than 15 months ago, evidencing significant inherent upside in our existing portfolio even as we continue to acquire operations with high growth potential. Simultaneously, we are pleased to see our clinical measures and quality scores continue to improve over already high marks. While the pandemic has delayed CMS quality reporting updates, our real time data analytics show 43% of our home health agencies had a star rating of five stars during the quarter and our hospice composite quality trend continued to climb well above the national average. These financial and clinical results, all while continuing to add nine new operations to the Pennant family since the beginning of the year, is a remarkable achievement. Overall, we believe the strong momentum we have in our home health and hospice operations and our ability to grow acquisitively position us to drive significant value this year and beyond.”
“As expected, our senior living segment experienced a very challenging operating environment in the first quarter, as COVID-19 cases escalated in the early weeks of the first quarter in many of our key markets, resulting in the sharpest decline in occupancy we have experienced in our history," commented Mr. Walker. "The challenging operating environment was exacerbated by the severe winter storm in Texas that significantly impacted our 12 communities in the state, three of which temporarily evacuated due to a loss of power and resulting damage. While still managing the full brunt of COVID-19, our local leaders and resources went to extraordinary efforts to ensure resident and employee safety, not without incurring lost revenue and increased emergency response, building repair and wage and hourly expenses. The confluence of these two events created a uniquely challenging operating environment that has caused short-term, downward pressure on our segment operating results. Although the peak effect of this was temporary and we saw some immediate recovery in the weeks following, these challenges presented a distinctive opportunity for us to accelerate improvement in our leadership, cost management and ability to attract new residents in order to drive sustained, long-term success. During the quarter, we responded rapidly to these opportunities by making significant leadership adjustments and adding support from key leaders across Pennant. We are beginning to see the fruits of these efforts, the positive effect of more vaccinations and declining COVID-19 cases and a rollback of some of the pandemic-related restrictions on in-person visitation and touring. Our leadership changes and development will be an ongoing effort that will position our senior living business for sustained, long-term strength. As a result of these efforts, combined with our low real estate fixed costs and an improving operating environment, we are getting stronger in the second quarter, and anticipate better performance in the second half of the year.”
During the first quarter and since, the Company announced that it grew its operations through the acquisition or start-up of five home health agencies, two hospice agencies and two home care agencies across key markets in Arizona, Colorado and Texas. "We are pleased with the quality, pace and diversity of the transactions we have closed since the beginning of 2021. Our pipeline of potential home health and hospice acquisitions remains as healthy as ever. We continue to see opportunities to invest in many existing and new markets and to expand our services across the care continuum to meet the complex needs of a growing number of patients. Armed with significant dry powder, a strong balance sheet and a deep bench of entrepreneurs anxious to drive success at local operations, we are excited to continue to execute on our disciplined growth strategy,” said Derek Bunker, Pennant’s Chief Investment Officer.
Jennifer Freeman, Pennant's Chief Financial Officer, reported that the Company ended the first quarter with strong liquidity, noting $5.6 million of cash on hand and $119.2 million of availability on its revolving line of credit. Highlighting the strength of the Company’s balance sheet, Ms. Freeman reported the Company had a net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio of 0.56x and a lease-adjusted net debt-to-adjusted EBITDAR ratio of 4.59 as of March 31, 2021. “Our low leverage, strong balance sheet and access to capital allow us to opportunistically acquire operations in many market conditions and provide our talented local leaders additional flexibility to make investments to meet the dynamic needs of their communities. By supplementing our unique, locally-driven operating model with a robust balance sheet and healthy cash position, we have the ingredients to produce strong results in 2021 and beyond,” said Ms. Freeman.
A discussion of the company's use of non-GAAP financial measures is set forth below. A reconciliation of net income to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDAR and adjusted EBITDA, as well as a reconciliation of GAAP earnings per share, net income to adjusted net earnings per share and adjusted net income, appear in the financial data portion of this release. More complete information is contained in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2021, which has been filed with the SEC today and can be viewed on the company’s website at www.pennantgroup.com.

Note: Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, we updated our definition of Segment Adjusted EBITDAR to no longer include an adjustment for COVID-19 expenses offset by the amount of sequestration relief. COVID-19 expenses continue to be part of daily operations for which less specific identification is visible. Furthermore, the sequestration relief has been extended through December 31, 2021. Sequestration relief was $948 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. There was no adjustment for COVID-19 expenses offset by the amount of sequestration relief for the three months ended March 31, 2020. | ||
(a) | Segment Adjusted EBITDAR from Operations is net income/ (loss) attributable to the Company's reportable segments excluding interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, rent, and, in order to view the operations performance on a comparable basis from period to period, certain adjustments including: (1) costs at start-up operations, (2) share-based compensation, (3) acquisition related costs, (4) redundant and nonrecurring costs associated with the transition services agreement, and (5) net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest. General and administrative expenses are not allocated to the reportable segments, and are included as “All Other”, accordingly the segment earnings measure reported is before allocation of corporate general and administrative expenses. The Company's segment measures may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited. | |
(b) | Represents results related to start-up operations. This amount excludes rent and depreciation and amortization expense related to such operations. | |
(c) | Share-based compensation expense incurred which is included in cost of services and general and administrative expense. | |
(d) | Acquisition related costs that are not capitalizable. | |
(e) | A portion of the costs incurred under the Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”) identified as redundant or nonrecurring that are included in general and administrative expense. Fees incurred under the TSA, net of the Company’s payroll reimbursement, were $988 and $1,336 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, we updated our transition service costs adjustment to include duplicate software costs. The prior year transition service costs adjustment has been recast to reflect the change. The adjustment to the prior year transition service costs was $107 for the duplicative software costs for the three months ended March 31, 2020 that were included in the 2020 full year amount in the Company’s as filed Form 10-K. |

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA consists of net income before (a) interest expense, net, (b) provisions for income taxes, and (c) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA consists of net income attributable to the Company before (a) provisions for income taxes, (b) depreciation and amortization, (c) costs incurred for start-up operations, including rent and excluding depreciation, interest and income taxes, (d) share-based compensation expense, (e) non-capitalizable acquisition related costs, and (f) redundant or non-recurring transition services costs. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAR is a valuation measure applicable to current periods only and consists of net income attributable to the Company before (a) interest expense, net, (b) provisions for income taxes, (c) depreciation and amortization, (d) rent-cost of services, (e) costs incurred for start-up operations, excluding rent, depreciation, interest and income taxes, (f) share-based compensation expense, (g) acquisition related costs, (h) redundant or non-recurring transition services costs, and (i) net income attributable to noncontrolling interest. The company believes that the presentation of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, consolidated adjusted EBITDAR, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share provides important supplemental information to management and investors to evaluate the company’s operating performance. The company believes disclosure of adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and consolidated adjusted EBITDAR has economic substance because the excluded revenues and expenses are infrequent in nature and are variable in nature, or do not represent current revenues or cash expenditures. A material limitation associated with the use of these measures as compared to the GAAP measures of net income and diluted earnings per share is that they may not be comparable with the calculation of net income and diluted earnings per share for other companies in the company's industry. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. For further information regarding why the company believes that this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors, the specific manner in which management uses this measure, and some of the limitations associated with the use of this measure, please refer to the company's periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The company’s periodic filings are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov or under the "Financial Information" link of the Investor Relations section on Pennant’s website at http://www.pennantgroup.com.
