    BRENTWOOD, Tenn., Aug. 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Surgery Partners, Inc. (NASDAQ:SGRY) ("Surgery Partners" or the "Company"), a leading provider of surgical services, today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

    Wayne DeVeydt, Executive Chairman of the Board of Surgery Partners, noted, “During the second quarter of 2022 we performed over 149,000 surgical cases, nearly 7% more than the second quarter of 2021, demonstrating our continued operational execution and the impact of strategic physician recruitment and acquisitions. The case growth we experienced this quarter reflects growth in higher acuity procedures, bringing higher overall net revenue per case. This helped drive top-line revenue growth of over 13% and Adjusted EBITDA growth of nearly 18% excluding the impact of grants in both periods. We are very pleased with this outcome considering the macro-economic environment we are navigating.”

    Eric Evans, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our management team’s focus on core operational excellence and rapid integration of recent acquisitions is a core strength that allows us to continue to report growth in surgical case volume and revenue, yielding strong Adjusted EBITDA performance consistent with our expectations. Physician recruitment remains a critical component of our growth engine and our new 2022 physician cohort is averaging 12% higher net revenue per case than our 2021 cohort, contributing to 42% higher revenue. Adjusted EBITDA margin excluding CARES Act grants was 14.0% for the second quarter, 120 basis points higher than our first quarter of 2022. This result demonstrates the efficacy of our team's approach to labor and supply cost management, which we have implemented without sacrificing the outstanding clinical quality and exceptional service that differentiates our partnerships.”

    Dave Doherty, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “With the strong results we reported today, we remain confident in our Adjusted EBITDA and revenue guidance for 2022. Our balance sheet remains strong with ample liquidity to support our annual capital deployment goal of at least $200 million. During the quarter, we deployed approximately $90 million in six transactions at an average multiple of approximately seven times and maintained a robust pipeline of potential acquisitions. When combined with our consistent growth, these accretive acquisitions continue to give us confidence in our long-term growth opportunities and mid-teens growth expectations.”

    Second Quarter 2022 Results

    Revenue for the second quarter of 2022 increased 13.3% to $615.4 million from $543.3 million for the second quarter of 2021. Days adjusted same-facility revenues for the second quarter of 2022 increased 6.9% from the same period last year, with an increase in revenue per case of 4.9% and an increase in same-facility cases of 1.9%. For the second quarter of 2022, the Company’s net loss attributable to common stockholders and Adjusted EBITDA was $18.4 million and $86.1 million, respectively, compared to $26.9 million and $75.9 million for the same period last year. For the second quarter of 2022 and 2021, Adjusted EBITDA benefited from recognition of $0.1 million and $2.9 million of CARES Act grants, respectively. Excluding CARES Act grants in the second quarter of 2022 and 2021, Adjusted EBITDA would have been $86.0 million and $73.0 million, respectively.

    Year to Date 2022 Results

    Revenue year-to-date 2022 increased 14.8% to $1,211.6 million from $1,055.7 million for the 2021 period. Days adjusted same-facility revenues for year-to-date 2022 increased 7.3% from the same period last year, with an increase in revenue per case of 3.2% and an increase in same-facility cases of 4.0%. For year-to-date 2022, the Company’s net loss attributable to common stockholders and Adjusted EBITDA was $6.2 million and $163.2 million, respectively, compared to $58.2 million and $148.8 million for the same period last year. Year-to-date 2022 and 2021, Adjusted EBITDA benefited from recognition of $1.1 million and $13.7 million of CARES Act grants, respectively. Excluding CARES Act grants for year-to-date 2022 and 2021, Adjusted EBITDA would have been $162.1 million and $135.1 million, respectively.

    Liquidity

    Surgery Partners had cash and cash equivalents of $227.4 million, and $203.0 million of borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility, at June 30, 2022. Cash flows from operating activities was $42.1 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $2.3 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily driven by a $32.2 million payment, including interest, made in the prior year quarter in connection with a previously-disclosed settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ"). Net operating cash inflows, defined as operating cash flows less distributions to non-controlling interests, was $3.1 million for the second quarter of 2022.

    Year-to-date, operating cash flows were $121.9 million compared to $52.5 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by the receipt of stockholder litigation proceeds of $32.8 million in the 2022 period and a DOJ settlement payment of $32.2 million, including interest, made during the 2021 period.

    The Company’s ratio of total net debt to EBITDA, as calculated under the Company’s credit agreement, was approximately 6.0x at the end of the second quarter of 2022.

    2022 Outlook

    The Company continues to project 2022 Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $375 million to $385 million and 2022 revenue in the range of $2.5 billion to $2.6 billion.

    (1) This amount includes transaction and integration costs of $8.2 million and $9.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This amount further includes start-up costs related to a de novo surgical hospital of $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

    This amount includes transaction and integration costs of $15.3 million and $14.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This amount further includes start-up costs related to a de novo surgical hospital of $6.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

    (2) This amount includes other litigation costs of $1.7 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

    This amount includes other litigation costs of $3.7 million and $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This amount also includes gain on litigation settlement of $32.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

    (3) We use Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by management to assess operating performance, make business decisions and allocate resources. Non-controlling interests represent the interests of third parties, such as physicians, and in some cases, healthcare systems that own an interest in surgical facilities that we consolidate for financial reporting purposes. We believe that it is helpful to investors to present Adjusted EBITDA as defined above because it excludes the portion of net income attributable to these third-party interests and clarifies for investors our portion of Adjusted EBITDA generated by our surgical facilities and other operations. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income or any other measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. The items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and evaluating our financial performance. We believe such adjustments are appropriate, as the magnitude and frequency of such items can vary significantly and are not related to the assessment of normal operating performance. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

    (4) Represents the impact of grant funds recognized, net of amounts attributable to non-controlling interests.

    Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
    (Dollars in millions, except per share amounts, shares in thousands)

    From time to time, the Company incurs certain non-recurring gains or losses that are normally non-operational in nature and that it does not consider relevant in assessing its ongoing operating performance. When significant, Surgery Partners’ management and Board of Directors typically exclude these gains or losses when evaluating the Company’s operating performance and in certain instances when evaluating performance for incentive compensation purposes. Additionally, the Company believes that certain investors and equity analysts exclude these or similar items when evaluating the Company’s current or future operating performance and in making informed investment decisions regarding the Company. Accordingly, the Company provides adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders and adjusted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders as supplements to the comparable GAAP financial measures. Adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders and adjusted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders should not be considered measures of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded from such measures are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to the comparable GAAP financial measures as presented in the consolidated financial statements.

    The following table reconciles net income as reflected in the consolidated statements of operations to adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders used to calculate adjusted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders:
