Aveanna Healthcare Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: AVAH), a leading,
diversified home care platform focused on providing care to
medically complex, high-cost patient populations, today announced
financial results for the three and six-month periods June 29,
2024.
Jeff Shaner, Chief Executive Officer, commented,
“The results of our second quarter illustrate the continued success
of executing on our Strategic Transformation. Revenue and Adjusted
EBITDA growth of 7.0% and 27.3%, respectively, when compared to the
prior year period, confirm we are tracking in the right direction.
Our continued approach of transforming our business with an
emphasis on expanding our position as a leading, value-based
homecare provider is underscored by these outcomes, both
operationally and financially. Our ongoing enhanced payor
partnerships allow us to deliver more care to more patients in need
through investment in our caregivers. Additionally, our updated
outlook demonstrates the positive momentum from our ongoing
execution of our business plans. The key to our current and future
success continues to be our dedicated team of Aveanna leaders and
caregivers, who deliver on our mission of exceptional care every
day.”

below.
Liquidity, Cash Flow, and
Debt
- As of June 29, 2024, we had cash of
$47.7 million and incremental borrowing capacity of $53.0 million
under our securitization facility. Our revolver was undrawn, with
approximately $168.2 million of borrowing capacity and
approximately $31.8 million of outstanding letters of credit.
- 2024 net cash used by operating
activities was $10.2 million. Free cash flow was $(12.4) million
for 2024. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures - Free cash flow”
below.
- As of June 29, 2024 we had bank
debt of $1,480.2 million. Our interest rate exposure under our
credit facilities is currently hedged with the following
instruments:
- $520.0 million notional amount of
interest rate swaps that convert variable rate debt to a fixed
rate, and
- $880.0 million notional amount of
interest rate caps that cap our exposure to SOFR at 2.96%.
Matt Buckhalter, Chief Financial Officer,
commented “I am pleased with our Revenue growth of 7.0% and our
Adjusted EBITDA growth of 27.3% as compared to the prior year
period. We continue to leverage our growth through strategic
cost reductions and lower overhead while building on the
success of our preferred payor strategy and
Government Affairs rate improvements. Based on our positive
results through the second quarter, we are raising our guidance to
Revenue greater than $1,985 million and Adjusted EBITDA greater
than $158 million. I am thrilled with the progress we've
made on our business plans in delivering solid growth, great
clinical outcomes, and improved profitability.”
Revised Full Year 2024
Guidance
The following is our updated guidance reflecting
our current expectations for revenue and Adjusted EBITDA for the
full year 2024:
- Revenue of greater than $1,985
million, updated from prior guidance of revenue of greater than
$1,970 million
Consistent with prior practice, we are not
providing guidance on net income at this time due to the volatility
of certain required inputs that are not available without
unreasonable efforts, including future fair value adjustments
associated with our interest rate swaps and caps.
- Adjusted EBITDA of greater than
$158 million, updated from prior guidance of Adjusted EBITDA
greater than $150 million
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results of operations
prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (“GAAP”), we also evaluate our financial performance
using EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Field contribution, Field
contribution margin, Adjusted net income or loss, Adjusted net
income or loss per diluted share, and Free cash flow. Given our
determination of adjustments in arriving at our computations, these
non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and should
not be considered in isolation or as substitutes or alternatives to
net income or loss, revenue, operating income or loss, cash flows
from operating activities, total indebtedness or any other
financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The
reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most
directly comparable GAAP measures are included in the financial
tables below.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP
financial measures and are not intended to replace financial
performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP, such as
net income or loss. Rather, we present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
as supplemental measures of our performance. We define EBITDA as
net income or loss before interest expense, net; income tax benefit
(expense); and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted
EBITDA as EBITDA, adjusted for the impact of certain other items
that are either non-recurring, infrequent, non-cash, unusual, or
items deemed by management to not be indicative of the performance
of our core operations, including impairments of goodwill,
intangible assets, and other long-lived assets; non-cash,
share-based compensation; loss on extinguishment of debt; fees
related to debt modifications; the effect of interest rate
derivatives; acquisition-related and integration costs; legal costs
and settlements associated with acquisition matters; restructuring
costs; other legal matters; and other system transition costs,
professional fees and other costs. As non-GAAP financial measures,
our computations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may vary from
similarly termed non-GAAP financial measures used by other
companies, making comparisons with other companies on the basis of
this measure impracticable.
We believe our computations of EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA are helpful in highlighting trends in our core
operating performance. In determining which adjustments are made to
arrive at EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, we consider both (1) certain
non-recurring, infrequent, non-cash or unusual items, which can
vary significantly from year to year, as well as (2) certain other
items that may be recurring, frequent, or settled in cash but which
we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.
We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to assess operating performance
and make business decisions.
We have incurred substantial acquisition-related
costs and integration costs. The underlying acquisition activities
take place over a defined timeframe, have distinct project
timelines and are incremental to activities and costs that arise in
the ordinary course of our business. Therefore, we believe it is
important to exclude these costs from our Adjusted EBITDA because
it provides us a normalized view of our core, ongoing operations
after integrating our acquired companies, which we believe is an
important measure in assessing our performance.
Field contribution and Field contribution
margin
Field contribution and Field contribution margin
are non-GAAP financial measures and are not intended to replace
financial performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP,
such as gross margin and gross margin percentage. Rather, we
present Field contribution and Field contribution margin as
supplemental measures of our performance. We define Field
contribution as gross margin less branch and regional
administrative expenses. Field contribution margin is Field
contribution as a percentage of revenue. As non-GAAP financial
measures, our computations of Field contribution and Field
contribution margin may vary from similarly termed non-GAAP
financial measures used by other companies, making comparisons with
other companies on the basis of these measures impracticable.
Field contribution and Field contribution margin
have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered
in isolation or as substitutes or alternatives to gross margin,
gross margin percentage, net income or loss, revenue, operating
income or loss, cash flows from operating activities, total
indebtedness or any other financial measures calculated in
accordance with GAAP.
Management believes Field contribution and Field
contribution margin are helpful in highlighting trends in our core
operating performance and evaluating trends in our branch and
regional results, which can vary from year to year. We use Field
contribution and Field contribution margin to make business
decisions and assess the operating performance and results
delivered by our core field operations, prior to corporate and
other costs not directly related to our field operations. These
metrics are also important because they guide us in determining
whether or not our branch and regional administrative expenses are
appropriately sized to support our caregivers and direct patient
care operations. Additionally, Field contribution and Field
contribution margin determine how effective we are in managing our
field supervisory and administrative costs associated with
supporting our provision of services and sale of products.
Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted net
income (loss) per diluted share
Adjusted net income (loss) represents net income
(loss) as adjusted for the impact of GAAP income tax, goodwill,
intangible and other long-lived asset impairment charges, non-cash
share-based compensation expense, loss on extinguishment of debt,
interest rate derivatives, acquisition-related costs, integration
costs, legal costs, restructuring costs, other legal matters, other
system transition costs, professional fees and certain other
miscellaneous items on a pre-tax basis. Adjusted net income (loss)
includes a provision for income taxes derived utilizing a combined
statutory tax rate. The combined statutory tax rate is our estimate
of our long-term tax rate. The most comparable GAAP measure is net
income (loss).
Adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share
represents adjusted net income (loss) on a per diluted share basis
using the weighted-average number of diluted shares outstanding for
the period. The most comparable GAAP measure is net income (loss)
per share, diluted.
Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net
income (loss) per diluted share are important to us because they
allow us to assess financial results, exclusive of the items
mentioned above that are not operational in nature or comparable to
those of our competitors.
Free cash flow
Free cash flow is a liquidity measure that
represents operating cash flow, adjusted for the impact of
purchases of property, equipment and software, principal payments
on term loans, notes payable and financing leases, and settlements
with swap counterparties. The most comparable GAAP measure is cash
flow from operations.
We believe free cash flow is helpful in
highlighting the cash generated or used by the Company, after
taking into consideration mandatory payments on term loans, notes
payable and financing leases, as well as cash needed for
non-acquisition related capital expenditures, and cash paid to or
received from derivative counterparties.
