ENVISION HEALTHCARE HOLDINGS, INC.

ENVISION HEALTHCARE CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.              General

 

Basis of Presentation of Financial Statements

 

Envision Healthcare Holdings, Inc. (“Holding”) indirectly owns all of the outstanding common stock of Envision Healthcare Corporation (“Corporation”). In June 2013, CDRT Holding Corporation’s name was changed to Envision Healthcare Holdings, Inc. and Emergency Medical Services Corporation’s name was changed to Envision Healthcare Corporation.

 

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements for Holding and Corporation have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim reporting, and accordingly, do not include all of the disclosures required for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements of Holding and Corporation (together the “Company” or “EVHC”) include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the periods presented. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2014. For further information on Holding’s and Corporation’s significant accounting policies and other information, see Holding’s and Corporation’s consolidated financial statements, including the accounting policies and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013, which includes all disclosures required by GAAP, included in Holding’s and Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

On July 29, 2013, Holding effected a 9.3 for 1.0 stock split of Holding’s common stock, resulting in 132,082,885 shares of common stock issued, not including 504,197 treasury shares. The accompanying consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the stock split for all periods presented.

 

On August 13, 2013, Holding’s registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) for an initial public offering of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) was declared effective.  On February 5, 2014, Holding registered the offering and sale of 31,625,000 shares of Common Stock (including shares sold pursuant to the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares) by certain stockholders of Holding at a public offering price of $30.50 per share.  See Note 2 for further information on Holding’s public offerings and its equity.

 

The Company’s business is conducted primarily through two operating subsidiaries, EmCare Holdings, Inc. (“EmCare”), its facility-based physician services segment, and American Medical Response, Inc. (“AMR”), its medical transportation services segment.

 

2.              Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements of Holding include all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Corporation and its respective subsidiaries and affiliated physician groups. The consolidated financial statements of Corporation, include all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including EmCare and AMR and their respective subsidiaries, and affiliated physician groups. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations, financial condition and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements including, but not limited to, estimates and assumptions for accounts receivable and insurance related reserves. Actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Insurance Collateral

 

Insurance collateral is comprised of investments in U.S. Treasuries and marketable equity and debt securities held by the Company’s captive insurance subsidiary that support the Company’s insurance program and reserves.  Certain of these investments, if sold or otherwise liquidated, would have to be replaced by other suitable financial assurances and are, therefore, considered restricted.  These investments are designated as available-for-sale and reported at fair value with the related temporary

Table of Contents

 

unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of deferred income tax.  Declines in the fair value of a marketable investment security which are determined to be other-than-temporary are recognized in the statements of operations, thus establishing a new cost basis for such investment.  Investment income earned on these investments is reported as interest income from restricted assets in the statements of operations.

 

Realized gains and losses are determined based on an average cost basis.

 

Additionally, insurance collateral is comprised of cash deposits with third parties.  Insurance collateral also includes a receivable from insurers of $1.8 million and $1.3 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, for liabilities in excess of the Company’s self-insured retention.

 

Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, net

 

The Company estimates its allowances based on payor reimbursement schedules, historical collections and write-off experience and other economic data. The Company’s billing systems do not provide contractual allowances or uncompensated care reserves on outstanding patient accounts. The allowance for uncompensated care is related principally to receivables recorded for self-pay patients and is not recorded on specific accounts due to the volume and variability of individual patient receivable collections. While the billing systems do not specifically record the allowance for doubtful accounts to individual accounts owed or specific payor classifications, the portion of the allowance for uncompensated care associated with fee for service charges as of December 31, 2013 was equal to approximately 87% and 89% of outstanding self-pay receivables for EmCare and AMR, respectively, consistent with the Company’s collection history. Account balances are charged off against the uncompensated care allowance when it is probable the receivable will not be recovered and to the contractual allowance when payment is received. The Company’s accounts receivable and allowances as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were as follows (in thousands):

Other receivables primarily represent EmCare hospital subsidies and fees, and AMR fees for stand-by and special events and subsidies from community organizations.

 

Accounts receivable allowances at EmCare are estimated based on cash collection and write-off experience at a facility level contract and facility specific payor mix. These allowances are reviewed and adjusted monthly through revenue provisions. In addition, a look-back analysis is done, typically after 15 months, to compare actual cash collected on a date of service basis to the revenue recorded for that period. Any adjustment necessary for an overage or deficit in these allowances based on actual collections is recorded through a revenue adjustment in the current period.

 

AMR contractual allowances are determined primarily on payor reimbursement schedules that are included and regularly updated in the billing systems, and by historical collection experience. The billing systems calculate the difference between payor specific gross billings and contractually agreed to, or governmentally driven, reimbursement rates. The allowance for uncompensated care at AMR is related principally to receivables recorded for self-pay patients. AMR’s allowances on self-pay accounts receivable are estimated on claim level, historical write-off experience.

 

Business Combinations

 

Assets and liabilities of an acquired business are recorded at their fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the acquisition consideration over the estimated fair values is recorded as goodwill. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred. While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions as a part of the acquisition consideration allocation process to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, the estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period any subsequent adjustments are recorded as expense.

Insurance Reserves

 

Insurance reserves are established for automobile, workers compensation, general liability and professional liability claims utilizing policies with both fully-insured and self-insured components. This includes the use of an off-shore captive insurance program through a wholly-owned subsidiary for certain liability programs for both EmCare and AMR.  In those instances where the Company has obtained third-party insurance coverage, the Company normally retains liability for the first $1 to $3 million of the loss. Insurance reserves cover known claims and incidents within the level of Company retention that may result in the assertion of additional claims, as well as claims from unknown incidents that may be asserted arising from activities through the balance sheet date.

 

The Company establishes reserves for claims based upon an assessment of actual claims and claims incurred but not reported. The reserves are established based on quarterly consultation with third-party independent actuaries using actuarial principles and assumptions that consider a number of factors, including historical claim payment patterns and legal costs, and changes in case reserves and the assumed rate of inflation in healthcare costs and property damage repairs. Claims, other than general liability claims, are discounted at a rate of 1.5%. General liability claims are not discounted.

 

The Company’s most recent actuarial valuation was completed in March 2014. As a result of this and previous actuarial valuations, the Company recorded increases in its provisions for insurance liabilities of $5.2 million during the three month period ended March 31, 2014 compared to decreases of $1.2 million for three month period ended March 31, 2013, related to reserves for losses in prior years.

 

The long-term portion of insurance reserves was $151.8 million and $175.4 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

 

Equity Structure and Public Offerings — Holding

 

On August 13, 2013, Holding’s Registration Statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for an initial public offering of its Common Stock. Holding registered the offering and sale of 42,000,000 shares of Common Stock and an additional 6,300,000 shares of Common Stock sold to the underwriters pursuant to their option to purchase additional shares at a price of $23 per share. On August 19, 2013, Holding completed the offering of 48,300,000 shares of Common Stock, at a price of $23 per share, for an aggregate offering price of $1,110.9 million, and the offering terminated. At the closing, Holding received net proceeds of approximately $1,025.9 million, after deducting the underwriters’ discounts and commissions paid and offering expenses of approximately $85.0 million, including a $20.0 million payment to Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC (“CD&R”) in connection with the termination of a consulting agreement with Holding and Corporation (“Consulting Agreement”) which was recorded in the third quarter of 2013 to selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations, see Note 13.

 

Net proceeds from the initial public offering were used to (i) redeem in full Holding’s Senior PIK Toggle Notes due 2017 for a total of $479.6 million, which included a call premium pursuant to the indenture governing the Senior PIK Toggle Notes due 2017 and all accrued but unpaid interest, (ii) pay CD&R the fee of $20.0 million to terminate the Consulting Agreement, (iii) pay $16.5 million to repay all outstanding revolving credit facility borrowings, and (iv) redeem $332.5 million of aggregate principal amount of Corporation’s senior unsecured notes due 2019 and all accrued but unpaid interest. The remaining proceeds were used for general corporate purposes which included, among other things, repayment of indebtedness and acquisitions.

 

On February 5, 2014, Holding registered the offering and sale of 27,500,000 shares of Common Stock by certain stockholders of Holding and an additional 4,125,000 shares of Common Stock, which were sold by investment funds sponsored by, or affiliated with, CD&R (the “CD&R Affiliates”) to the underwriters pursuant to their option to purchase additional shares at $30.50 per share less the underwriting discount.  The CD&R Affiliates, certain executive officers and directors of Holding and certain non-executives were the selling stockholders in the offering.  Holding did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares being sold by the selling stockholders, including any shares sold pursuant to any exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares.

 

Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, insurance collateral, other than current portion of self-insurance estimates, long-term debt and long-term liabilities, other than self-insurance estimates, constitute financial instruments. Based on management’s estimates, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximates fair value as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Concentration of credit risks in accounts receivable is limited, due to the large number of customers comprising the Company’s

 

12



Table of Contents

 

customer base throughout the United States. A significant component of the Company’s revenue is derived from Medicare and Medicaid. Given that these are government programs, the credit risk for these customers is considered low. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its other customers, but does not require collateral to support customer accounts receivable. The Company establishes an allowance for uncompensated care based on the credit risk applicable to particular customers, historical trends and other relevant information. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company derived approximately 27% and 28%, respectively, of its revenue from Medicare and Medicaid, 70% and 68%, respectively, from insurance providers and contracted payors, and 3% and 4%, respectively, directly from patients.

 

The Company estimates the fair value of its fixed rate senior notes based on quoted market prices (Level 1).  The estimated fair value of the senior notes as of March 31, 2014 was approximately $650.7 million with a carrying value of $607.8 million. The Company’s captive insurance subsidiary holds $9.8 million of the senior notes as of March 31, 2014 which has been excluded from the carrying value stated above.

 

Fair Value Measurement

 

The Company classifies its financial instruments that are reported at fair value based on a hierarchal framework which ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring financial instruments at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of instrument and the characteristics specific to the instrument. Instruments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

 

Financial instruments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

 

Level 1—Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. The Company does not adjust the quoted price for these assets or liabilities, which include investments held in connection with the Company’s captive insurance program.

 

Level 2—Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. Balances in this category include fixed income mortgage backed securities, corporate bonds, and derivatives.

 

Level 3—Pricing inputs are unobservable as of the reporting date and reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the fair value of the asset or liability. Balances in this category include the Company’s estimate, using a combination of internal and external fair value analyses, of contingent consideration for acquisitions described in Note 4.

 

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Company’s financial instruments by the above fair value hierarchy levels as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized at the time of service and is recorded net of provisions for contractual discounts and estimated uncompensated care. Fee-for-service revenue represents billings for services provided to patients, for which the Company receives payment from the patient or their third-party payor. Provisions for contractual discounts are related to differences between gross charges and specific payor, including governmental, reimbursement schedules. Provisions for estimated uncompensated care, or bad debt expense, are related principally to the number of self-pay patients treated in the period and are based primarily on historical collection experience to reduce revenues net of contractual discounts to the estimated amounts the Company expects to collect. Subsidy and fee revenue primarily represent hospital subsidies and fees at EmCare and fees for stand-by, special event and community subsidies at AMR.

 

The majority of the patients the Company treats are for the provision of emergency care in the pre-hospital and hospital settings. Due to federal government regulations governing the provision of such care, the Company is obligated to provide emergency care regardless of the patient’s ability to pay or whether or not the patient has insurance or other third-party coverage for the costs of the services rendered. While the Company attempts to obtain all relevant billing information at the time the patient is within our care, there are numerous patient encounters where such information is not available. In such cases, the Company’s billing operations will initially classify these patients as self-pay, with the applicable estimated allowance for uncompensated care, while they pursue collection of the account. Over the course of the first 30 to 60 days after these self-pay patients have been treated, the billing staff may identify the appropriate insurance or other third-party payor and re-assign the account from a self-pay payor classification to the appropriate payor. Depending on the final payor determination, the allowances for uncompensated care and contractual discounts will be adjusted accordingly. For accounts that remain classified as self-pay, the billing protocols and systems will generate bills and notifications generally for 90 to 120 days. If no collection or additional information is received from the patient, the account is written-off and sent to a collection agency. The Company’s revenue recognition models, which are reviewed and updated on a monthly basis, consider these events in determining the collectability of accounts receivable.

 

Net revenue for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 consisted of the following (in thousands):

Healthcare reimbursement is complex and may involve lengthy delays. Third-party payors are continuing their efforts to control expenditures for healthcare, including proposals to revise reimbursement policies. The Company has from time to time experienced delays in reimbursement from third-party payors. In addition, third-party payors may disallow, in whole or in part, claims for payment based on determinations that certain amounts are not reimbursable under plan coverage, determinations of medical necessity, or the need for additional information. Laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs are very complex and subject to interpretation. Revenue is recognized on an estimated basis in the period in which related services are rendered. As a result, there is a reasonable possibility that recorded estimates will change materially in the short-term. Such amounts, including adjustments between provisions for contractual discounts and uncompensated care, are adjusted in future periods, as adjustments become known. These adjustments in the aggregate increased the contractual discount and uncompensated care provisions (decreased net revenue) by approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and decreased the contractual discount and uncompensated provisions (increased net revenue) by approximately $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

The Company provides services to patients who have no insurance or other third-party payor coverage. In certain circumstances, federal law requires providers to render services to any patient who requires care regardless of their ability to pay. Services to these patients are not considered to be charity care and provisions for uncompensated care for these services are estimated accordingly.

 

3.              Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Holding presents both basic earnings per share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS.  Basic EPS excludes potential dilution and is computed by dividing “Net income (loss) attributable to Envision Healthcare Holdings, Inc.” by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock awards were exercised.  The potential dilution from stock awards was computed using the treasury stock method based on the average market value of Holding’s common stock.  The following table presents EPS amounts for all periods and the basic and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding used in the calculation (in thousands, except share and per share amounts).

Holding had a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2013, therefore, the effect of stock awards to purchase common stock of 3,930,872 is excluded from the computations of diluted loss per share since the effect is anti-dilutive.  As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no stock awards of common stock outstanding excluded from the weighted-average common shares outstanding above.

 

4.              Acquisitions

 

2014 Acquisitions

 

The Company completed the acquisitions of Life Line Ambulance Service, Inc., an emergency medical transportation service provider with operations in Arizona, on February 6, 2014 and MedStat EMS, Inc., an emergency and non-emergency medical ground transportation service provider with operations in Mississippi, on March 7, 2014 for total aggregate purchase consideration of approximately $36.2 million paid in cash.

Senior Unsecured Notes due 2019

 

On May 25, 2011, Corporation issued $950 million of senior unsecured notes due 2019 (“2019 Notes”). During the second quarter of 2012, Corporation’s captive insurance subsidiary purchased $15.0 million of the 2019 Notes through an open market transaction and currently holds $9.8 million of the 2019 Notes subsequent to the partial redemption of the 2019 Notes on December 30, 2013.

 

On December 30, 2013, Corporation redeemed $332.5 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Notes of which $5.2 million was held by the Company’s captive insurance subsidiary at a redemption price of 108.125%, plus accrued and unpaid interest of $2.2 million. During the fourth quarter of 2013, Corporation recorded a loss on early debt extinguishment of $38.7 million related to premiums and unamortized debt issuance costs from the redemption of the 2019 Notes.

 

The 2019 Notes have a fixed interest rate of 8.125%, payable semi-annually with the principal due at maturity in 2019. The 2019 Notes are general unsecured obligations of Corporation and are guaranteed by each of Corporation’s domestic subsidiaries,

Table of Contents

 

except for any of Corporation’s subsidiaries subject to regulation as an insurance company, including Corporation’s captive insurance subsidiary.

 

The Company may redeem the 2019 Notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to June 1, 2014, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, plus the applicable make-whole premium. The Company may redeem the 2019 Notes, in whole or in part, at any time (i) on and after June 1, 2014 and prior to June 1, 2015, at a price equal to 106.094% of the principal amount of the 2019 Notes, (ii) on or after June 1, 2015 and prior to June 1, 2016, at a price equal to 104.063% of the principal amount of the 2019 Notes, (iii) on or after June 1, 2016 and prior to June 1, 2017, at a price equal to 102.031% of the principal amount of the 2019 Notes, and (iv) on or after June 1, 2017, at a price equal to 100.000% of the principal amount of the 2019 Notes, in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. In addition, at any time prior to June 1, 2014, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Notes with the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 108.125%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, which it exercised on December 30, 2013 by redeeming $332.5 million in principal amount.

 

The indenture governing the 2019 Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit Corporation’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to: incur more indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares; pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions; make investments; create restrictions on the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends to Corporation or make other intercompany transfers; create liens; transfer or sell assets; merge or consolidate; enter into certain transactions with affiliates; and designate subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. Upon the occurrence of certain events constituting a change of control, Corporation is required to make an offer to repurchase all of the 2019 Notes (unless otherwise redeemed) at a purchase price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any to the repurchase date. If Corporation sells assets under certain circumstances, it must use the proceeds to make an offer to purchase the 2019 Notes at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.

 

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

 

On May 25, 2011, Corporation entered into $1.8 billion of senior secured credit facilities (“Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) that consisted of a $1.44 billion senior secured term loan facility due 2018 (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a $350 million asset-backed revolving credit facility due 2016 (the “ABL Facility”). The Senior Secured Credit Facilities are secured by substantially all of the assets of corporation.

 

Term Loan Facility

 

Prior to February 7, 2013, loans under the Term Loan Facility bore interest at Corporation’s election at a rate equal to (i) the highest of (x) the rate for deposits in U.S. dollars in the London interbank market (adjusted for maximum reserves) for the applicable interest period (“Term Loan LIBOR”) and (y) 1.50%, plus, in each case, 3.75%, or (ii) the base rate, which will be the highest of (w) the corporate base rate established by the administrative agent from time to time, (x) 0.50% in excess of the overnight federal funds rate, (y) the one-month Term Loan LIBOR (adjusted for maximum reserves) plus 1.00% per annum and (x) 2.50%, plus, in each case, 2.75%.

 

On February 7, 2013, Corporation, the borrower under the Term Loan Facility, entered into a First Amendment (the “Term Loan Amendment”) to the credit agreement governing the Term Loan Facility (as amended, the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”). Under the Term Loan Amendment, Corporation incurred an additional $150 million in incremental borrowings under the Term Loan Facility, the proceeds of which were used to pay down the ABL Facility. In addition, the rate at which the loans under the Term Loan Credit Agreement bear interest was amended to equal (i) the higher of (x) LIBOR and (y) 1.00%, plus, in each case, 3.00% (with a step-down to 2.75% in the event that Corporation meets a consolidated first lien net leverage ratio of 2.50:1.00), or (ii) the alternate base rate, which will be the highest of (w) the corporate base rate established by the administrative agent from time to time, (x) 0.50% in excess of the overnight federal funds rate, (y) the one-month LIBOR (adjusted for maximum reserves) plus 1.00% and (z) 2.00%, plus, in each case, 2.00% (with a step-down to 1.75% in the event that Corporation meets a consolidated first lien net leverage ratio of 2.50:1.00). Corporation recorded a loss on early debt extinguishment of $0.1 million related to unamortized debt issuance costs as a result of this modification.

 

The credit agreement governing the Term Loan Facility contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants are limited to the following: limitations on the incurrence of debt, liens, fundamental changes, restrictions on subsidiary distributions, transactions with affiliates, further negative pledge, asset sales, restricted payments, investments and acquisitions, repayment of certain junior debt (including the senior notes) or amendments of junior debt documents related thereto and line of business. The negative covenants are subject to the customary exceptions.

ABL Facility

 

Prior to February 27, 2013, loans under the ABL Facility bore interest at Corporation’s election at a rate equal to (i) the rate for deposits in U.S. dollars in the London interbank market (adjusted for maximum reserves) for the applicable interest period (“ABL LIBOR”), plus an applicable margin that ranges from 2.25% to 2.75% based on the average available loan commitments, or (ii) the base rate, which is the highest of (x) the corporate base rate established by the administrative agent from time to time, (y) the overnight federal funds rate plus 0.5% and (z) the one-month ABL LIBOR plus 1.0% per annum, plus, in each case, an applicable margin that ranges from 1.25% to 1.75% based on the average available loan commitments.

 

On February 27, 2013, Corporation entered into a First Amendment to the credit agreement governing the ABL Facility (as amended, the “ABL Credit Agreement”), under which Corporation increased its commitments under the ABL Facility to $450 million and extended the term to 2018. In addition, the rate at which the loans under the ABL Credit Agreement bear interest was amended to equal (i) LIBOR plus, (x) 2.00% in the event that average daily excess availability is less than or equal to 33% of availability, (y) 1.75% in the event that average daily excess availability is greater than 33% but less than or equal to 66% of availability and (z) 1.50% in the event that average daily excess availability is greater than 66% of availability, or (ii) the alternate base rate, which will be the highest of (x) the corporate base rate established by the administrative agent from time to time, (y) 0.50% in excess of the overnight federal funds rate and (z) the one-month LIBOR (adjusted for maximum reserves) plus 1.00% plus, in each case, (A) 1.00% in the event that average daily excess availability is less than or equal to 33% of availability, (B) 0.75% in the event that average daily excess availability is greater than 33% but less than or equal to 66% of availability and (C) 0.50% in the event that average daily excess availability is greater than 66% of availability.

 

The ABL Facility bears a commitment fee that ranges from 0.500% to 0.375%, payable quarterly in arrears, based on the utilization of the ABL Facility. The ABL Facility also bears customary letter of credit fees.

 

As of March 31, 2014, letters of credit outstanding which impact the available credit under the ABL Facility were $132.5 million and the maximum available under the ABL Facility was $317.5 million.

 

The credit agreement governing the ABL Facility contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants are limited to the following: limitations on indebtedness, dividends and distributions, investments, acquisitions, prepayments or redemptions of junior indebtedness, amendments of junior indebtedness, transactions with affiliates, asset sales, mergers, consolidations and sales of all or substantially all assets, liens, negative pledge clauses, changes in fiscal periods, changes in line of business and hedging transactions. The negative covenants are subject to the customary exceptions and also permit the payment of dividends and distributions, investments, permitted acquisitions and payments or redemptions of junior indebtedness upon satisfaction of a “payment condition.” The payment condition is deemed satisfied upon 30-day average excess availability exceeding agreed upon thresholds and, in certain cases, the absence of specified events of default and compliance with a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0.

 

In the first quarter of 2013, Corporation recorded $5.0 million of debt issuance expense related to the Term Loan Amendment and ABL Amendment.

 

Senior PIK Toggle Notes

 

On October 1, 2012, Holding issued $450 million of Senior PIK Toggle Notes due 2017 (the “PIK Notes”) and used the proceeds from the offering to pay an extraordinary dividend to its stockholders, pay debt issuance costs and make certain payments to members of management with rollover options in Holding. Cash interest accrues on these notes at a rate of 9.25% payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 commencing on April 1, 2013. PIK interest accrues on these notes at a rate of 10.0%. The Holding PIK Notes are Holding’s senior unsecured indebtedness and are not guaranteed by any of its subsidiaries.

 

On August 30, 2013, Holding redeemed all of the PIK Notes at a redemption price equal to 102.75% of the aggregate principal amount of the PIK Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest of $17.2 million. During the third quarter of 2013, Holding recorded a loss on early debt extinguishment of $29.5 million related to premiums and unamortized debt issuance costs from the redemption of the PIK Notes.

8.             Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

 

The Company manages its exposure to changes in fuel prices and interest rates and, from time to time, uses highly effective derivative instruments to manage well-defined risk exposures. The Company monitors its positions and the credit ratings of its counterparties and does not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

 

At March 31, 2014, the Company was party to a series of fuel hedge transactions with a major financial institution under one master agreement. Each of the transactions effectively fixes the cost of diesel fuel at prices ranging from $3.63 to $3.82 per gallon. The Company purchases the diesel fuel at the market rate and periodically settles with its counterparty for the difference between the national average price for the period published by the Department of Energy and the agreed upon fixed price. The transactions fix the price for a total of 1.9 million gallons, which represents approximately 25.2% of the Company’s total estimated usage during the periods hedged, through December 2014.  The Company recorded, as a component of other comprehensive income before applicable tax impacts, an asset associated with the fair value of the fuel hedge in the amount of $0.4 million and $0.7 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.  Over the next 12 months, the Company expects to reclassify $0.4 million of deferred gain from accumulated other comprehensive income as the related fuel hedge transactions mature.  Settlement of hedge agreements are included in operating expenses and resulted in net receipts from the counterparty of $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

In October 2011, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements which mature on August 31, 2015. The swap agreements are with major financial institutions and effectively convert a total of $400 million in variable rate debt to fixed rate debt with an effective rate of 4.49%. The Company will continue to make interest payments based on the variable rate associated with the debt (based on LIBOR, but not less than 1.0%) and will periodically settle with its counterparties for the difference between the rate paid and the fixed rate. The Company recorded, as a component of other comprehensive income before applicable tax impacts, a liability associated with the fair value of the interest rate swap in the amount of $2.7 million and $3.1 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Over the next 12 months, the Company expects to reclassify $2.1 million of deferred loss from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest expense as the related interest rate swap transactions mature.  Settlement of interest rate swap agreements are included in interest expense and resulted in net payments to the counterparties of $0.5 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

11.       Equity Based Compensation

 

Upon completion of Holding’s initial public offering, the previous stock compensation plan (“Stock Compensation Plan”) terminated and the Envision Healthcare Holdings, Inc. 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“Omnibus Incentive Plan”) was adopted pursuant to which options and awards with respect to a total of 16,708,289 shares of Common Stock are available for grant. As of March 31, 2014, a total of 16,607,028 shares remained available for grant under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. Awards under the Omnibus Incentive Plan include both performance and non-performance based awards. As of March 31, 2014, no grants of performance based awards under the Omnibus Incentive Plan had been made. Options are granted with exercise prices equal to the fair value of Holding’s common stock at the date of grant. No participant may be granted in any calendar year awards covering more than 2.5 million shares of Common Stock or 1.5 million performance awards up to a maximum dollar value of $5.0 million. Non-performance based awards vest ratably over five years. Performance based awards vest upon achievement of certain company-wide objectives. All options have 10 year terms.

 

Awards previously granted under the Stock Compensation Plan were unaffected by the termination of the Stock Compensation Plan; however no future grants will be made under the Stock Compensation Plan.

 

A compensation charge of $1.1 million was recorded for shares vested for each of the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

12.       Commitments and Contingencies

 

Lease Commitments

 

The Company leases various facilities and equipment under operating lease agreements.  Rental expense incurred under these leases was $11.3 million and $11.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

The Company also records certain leasehold improvements under capital leases.  Assets under capital leases are capitalized using inherent interest rates at the inception of each lease. Capital leases are collateralized by the underlying assets.

 

Services

 

The Company is subject to the Medicare and Medicaid fraud and abuse laws which prohibit, among other things, any false claims, or any bribe, kickback or rebate in return for the referral of Medicare and Medicaid patients. Violation of these prohibitions may result in civil and criminal penalties and exclusion from participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Management has implemented policies and procedures that management believes will assure that the Company is in substantial compliance with these laws and regulations but there can be no assurance the Company will not be found to have violated certain of these laws and regulations. From time to time, the Company receives requests for information from government agencies pursuant to their regulatory or investigational authority. Such requests can include subpoenas or demand letters for documents to assist the government agencies in audits or investigations. The Company is cooperating with the government agencies conducting these investigations and is providing requested information to the government agencies. Other than the proceedings described below, management believes that the outcome of any of these investigations would not have a material adverse effect on the Company.

 

Like other ambulance companies, AMR has provided discounts to its healthcare facility customers (nursing homes and hospitals) in certain circumstances. The Company has attempted to comply with applicable law where such discounts are provided. During the first quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company was advised by the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) that it was investigating certain business practices at AMR. The specific practices at issue were (i) whether ambulance transports involving Medicare eligible patients complied with the “medical necessity” requirement imposed by Medicare regulations, (ii) whether patient signatures, when required, were properly obtained from Medicare eligible patients, and (iii) whether discounts in violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute were provided by AMR in exchange for referrals involving Medicare eligible patients. In connection with the third issue, the government alleged that certain of AMR’s hospital and nursing home contracts in effect in Texas in periods prior to 2002 contained discounts in violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute. The Company negotiated a settlement with the government pursuant to which the Company paid $9 million and obtained a release of all claims related to such conduct alleged to have occurred in Texas in periods prior to 2002. In connection with the settlement, AMR entered into a Corporate Integrity Agreement (“CIA”) which was effective for a period of five years beginning September 12, 2006, and which was released in February 2012.

In December 2006, AMR received a subpoena from the DOJ. The subpoena requested copies of documents for the period from January 2000 through the present. The subpoena required AMR to produce a broad range of documents relating to the operations of certain AMR affiliates in New York. The Company produced documents responsive to the subpoena. The government identified claims for reimbursement that the government believes lack support for the level billed, and invited the Company to respond to the identified areas of concern. The Company reviewed the information provided by the government and provided its response. On May 20, 2011, AMR entered into a settlement agreement with the DOJ and a CIA with the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services (“OIG”) in connection with this matter. Under the terms of the settlement, AMR paid $2.7 million to the federal government. In connection with the settlement, the Company entered into a CIA with a five- year period beginning May 20, 2011. Pursuant to this CIA, the Company is required to maintain a compliance program, which includes, among other elements, the appointment of a compliance officer and committee, training of employees nationwide, safeguards for its billing operations as they relate to services provided in New York, including specific training for operations and billing personnel providing services in New York, review by an independent review organization and reporting of certain reportable events. The Company entered into the settlement in order to avoid the uncertainties of litigation, and has not admitted any wrongdoing. In May 2013, a subsidiary of the Company entered into an agreement to divest substantially all the assets underlying AMR’s services in New York, although the obligations of the Company’s compliance program will remain in effect following the expected divestiture. The divesture was completed on July 1, 2013.

 

In July 2011, AMR received a subpoena from the Civil Division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California (“USAO”) seeking certain documents concerning AMR’s provision of ambulance services within the City of Riverside, California. The USAO indicated that it, together with the OIG, was investigating whether AMR violated the federal False Claims Act and/or the federal Anti-Kickback Statute in connection with AMR’s provision of ambulance transport services within the City of Riverside. The California Attorney General’s Office conducted a parallel state investigation for possible violations of the California False Claims Act. In December 2012, AMR was notified that both investigations were concluded and that the agencies had closed the matter. There were no findings made against AMR, and the closure of the matter did not require any payments from AMR.

 

Letters of Credit

 

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had $132.5 million in outstanding letters of credit.

 

Other Legal Matters

 

Four different lawsuits purporting to be class actions have been filed against AMR and certain subsidiaries in California alleging violations of California wage and hour laws. On April 16, 2008, Laura Bartoni commenced a suit in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Alameda; on July 8, 2008, Vaughn Banta filed suit in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles; on January 22, 2009, Laura Karapetian filed suit in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, and on March 11, 2010, Melanie Aguilar filed suit in Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles. The Banta, Aguilar and Karapetian cases have been coordinated in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Los Angeles, and the Aguilar and Karapetian cases have subsequently been consolidated into a single action. Plaintiffs allege principally that the AMR entities failed to pay overtime wages pursuant to California law, and failed to provide required meal breaks, rest breaks or pay premium compensation for missed breaks. Plaintiffs are seeking to certify the classes and are seeking lost wages, penalties, attorneys’ fees and other sanctions permitted under California law for violations of wage hour laws. At the present time, the courts have not certified classes in any of these cases. In a hearing on February 25, 2014 in the Banta and Aguilar/Karapetian cases, the court indicated that it intends to certify classes on some issues, and deny certification on some issues, but is has not signed an order to such effect. The Company is unable at this time to estimate the amount of potential damages, if any in any of these actions.

 

Merion Capital, L.P. (“Merion”), a former stockholder of Corporation, filed an action in the Delaware Court of Chancery on June 20, 2011 seeking to exercise its right to appraisal of its holdings in Corporation prior to the merger of Corporation with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holding (the “Merger”) on May 25, 2011. During the first quarter of 2013, the Company expensed $8.4 million of legal settlement costs and $1.9 million of interest. On April 15, 2013, the Company paid $52.1 million in a settlement of Merion’s appraisal action, in which Merion agreed to release its claims against the Company.

 

On August 7, 2012, EmCare received a subpoena from the OIG requesting copies of documents for the period from January 1, 2007 through the present that appears to primarily be focused on EmCare’s contracts for services at hospitals that are affiliated with Health Management Associates, Inc. (“HMA”). The Company has been cooperating with the government during its investigation and, as such, continues to gather responsive documents. During the months of December 2013 and January 2014, several lawsuits filed by whistleblowers on behalf of the federal and certain state governments against HMA have been unsealed;

 

23



Table of Contents

 

the Company is a named defendant in two of these lawsuits. Although the federal government intervened in these lawsuits in connection with certain of the allegations against HMA, the federal government has not, at this time, disclosed whether it will intervene in these matters as they relate to the Company. The Company continues to engage in meaningful dialogue with the relevant government representatives and, at this time, the Company is unable to determine the potential impact, if any, that will result from this investigation.

 

On February 5, 2013, Air Ambulance Specialists, Inc. received a subpoena from the Federal Aviation Administration seeking certain information from the Company relating to its operations as an indirect air carrier and its relationships with Part 135 direct air carriers. The Company responded to the subpoena in February 2013. The Federal Aviation Administration has made no further inquiries of the Company and the Company believes this matter is closed.

 

On February 14, 2013, EmCare received a subpoena from the OIG requesting documents and other information relating to EmCare’s relationship with Community Health Services, Inc. (“CHS”). The Company is cooperating with the government during its investigation, has provided responsive documents, and is engaged in a meaningful dialogue with the relevant government representatives regarding additional requests. At this time, the Company is unable to determine the potential impact, if any, that will result from these investigations.

 

In November 2013, AMR received a subpoena from the New Hampshire Department of Insurance directed to American Medical Response of Massachusetts, Inc. The subpoena requested documents relating to ambulance services provided to approximately 150 patients residing in the state of New Hampshire who had been involved in motor vehicle accidents and who were ultimately transported by AMR. In addition, the subpoena requested information relating to any agreements for reimbursement between AMR and Progressive Insurance. The Company is cooperating with the Department during its investigation and, as such, is in the process of gathering responsive documents, formulating a response to the subpoena, and is seeking to engage in a meaningful dialogue with the relevant New Hampshire Department of Insurance and Attorney General’s Office representatives. At this time, the Company is unable to determine the potential impact, if any, that will result from this investigation.

 

The Company is involved in other litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes the outcome of these legal proceedings will not have a material adverse impact on its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Indemnification Agreements

 

In connection with the closing of the Merger, Holding and Corporation entered into separate indemnification agreements with CD&R and CD&R Affiliates (the “CD&R Entities”).  Under the indemnification agreement with the CD&R Entities, Holding and Corporation, subject to certain limitations, jointly and severally agreed to indemnify the CD&R Entities and certain of their affiliates against certain liabilities arising out of performance of the Consulting Agreement and certain other claims and liabilities.

 

Other

14.       Variable Interest Entities

 

GAAP requires the assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests and activities of Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) to be consolidated if an entity’s interest in the VIE has specific characteristics including: voting rights not proportional to ownership

 

25



Table of Contents

 

and the right to receive a majority of expected income or absorb a majority of expected losses. In addition, the entity exposed to the majority of the risks and rewards associated with the VIE is deemed its primary beneficiary and must consolidate the entity.

 

EmCare entered into an agreement in 2011 with an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of HCA Holdings Inc. to form an entity which would provide physician services to various healthcare facilities (“HCA-EmCare JV”). HCA-EmCare JV began providing services to healthcare facilities during the first quarter of 2012 and meets the definition of a VIE. The Company determined that, although EmCare only holds 50% voting control, EmCare is the primary beneficiary and must consolidate this VIE because:

 

·                  EmCare provides management services to HCA-EmCare JV including recruiting, credentialing, scheduling, billing, payroll, accounting and other various administrative services and therefore substantially all of HCA-EmCare JV’s activities involve EmCare; and

 

·                  as payment for management services, EmCare is entitled to receive a base management fee from HCA-EmCare JV as well as a bonus management fee.

 

The following is a summary of the HCA-EmCare JV assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, which are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements (in thousands).

15.       Segment Information

 

The Company is organized around two separately managed business units: facility- based physician services and medical transportation services, which have been identified as operating segments. The facility-based physician services reportable segment provides physician services to hospitals primarily for emergency department, anesthesiology, hospitalist/inpatient, radiology, teleradiology and surgery services. It also offers physician-led care management solutions outside the hospital. The medical transportation services reportable segment focuses on providing a full range of medical transportation services from basic patient transit to the most advanced emergency care and pre-hospital assistance. The Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) as he assesses the performance of the business units and decides how to allocate resources to the business units.

 

Net income (loss) before equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiary, income taxes, loss on early debt extinguishment, other income (expense), net, realized gains (losses) on investments, interest expense, equity-based compensation expense, related party management fees, restructuring charges, and depreciation and amortization expense (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is the measure of profit and loss that the CODM uses to assess performance, measure liquidity and make decisions. Adjusted EBITDA is not considered a measure of financial performance under GAAP and the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to such GAAP measures as net income, cash flows provided by or used in operating, investing or financing activities or other financial statement data presented in the Company’s financial statements as an indicator of financial performance or liquidity. Since Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure determined to be in accordance with GAAP and is susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Pre-tax income from continuing operations represents net revenue less direct operating expenses incurred within the operating segments. The accounting policies for reported segments are the same as for the Company as a whole (see Note 2).

16.       Guarantors of Debt

 

Corporation is the issuer of the 2019 Notes and the borrower under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The 2019 Notes and the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are guaranteed by each of Corporation’s domestic subsidiaries, except for any subsidiaries subject to regulation as an insurance company, including Corporation’s captive insurance subsidiary. All of the operating income and cash flow of Corporation is generated by EmCare, AMR and their subsidiaries. As a result, funds necessary to meet the debt service obligations under the 2019 Notes and the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are provided by the distributions or advances from the subsidiary companies, EmCare and AMR. Investments in subsidiary operating companies are accounted for on the equity method. Accordingly, entries necessary to consolidate Corporation and all of its subsidiaries are reflected in the Eliminations/Adjustments column. Separate complete financial statements of Corporation and subsidiary guarantors would not provide additional material information that would be useful in assessing the financial composition of Corporation or the subsidiary guarantors.

 

Corporation’s payment obligations under the 2019 Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the guarantors. Each of the guarantors is wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by Corporation, and all guarantees are full and unconditional. A guarantor will be released from its obligations under its guarantee under certain customary circumstances, including (i) the sale or disposition of the guarantor, (ii) the release of the guarantor from all of its obligations under all guarantees related to any indebtedness of Corporation, (iii) the merger or consolidation of the guarantor as specified in the indenture governing the 2019 Notes, (iv) the guarantor becomes an unrestricted subsidiary, (v) the defeasance of Corporation’s obligations under the indenture governing the 2019 Notes or (vi) the payment in full of the principal amount of the 2019 Notes.

 

The condensed consolidating financial statements for Corporation, the guarantors and the non-guarantors were as follows (in thousands):

Healthcare Reform

 

As currently enacted the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “PPACA”) changes how health care services are delivered and reimbursed, and increases access to health insurance benefits to the uninsured and underinsured population in the United States. On June 28, 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the individual mandate provisions of the PPACA, but struck down the provisions that would have allowed the Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) to penalize states that do not implement Medicaid expansion provisions through the loss of existing federal Medicaid funding. It is unclear how many states will decline to implement the Medicaid expansion. While the PPACA will increase the likelihood that more people in the U.S. will have access to health insurance benefits, we cannot quantify or predict with any certainty the likely impact of the PPACA on our business model, financial condition or results of operations.

Key Factors and Measures We Use to Evaluate Our Business

 

The key factors and measures we use to evaluate our business focus on the number of patients we treat and transport and the costs we incur to provide the necessary care and transportation for each of our patients.

 

We evaluate our revenue net of provisions for contractual payor discounts and provisions for uncompensated care. Medicaid, Medicare and certain other payors receive discounts from our standard charges, which we refer to as contractual discounts. In addition, individuals we treat and transport may be personally responsible for a deductible or co-pay under their third party payor coverage, and most of our contracts require us to treat and transport patients who have no insurance or other third party payor coverage. Due to the uncertainty regarding collectability of charges associated with services we provide to these patients, which we refer to as uncompensated care, our net revenue recognition is based on expected cash collections. Our net revenue represents gross billings after provisions for contractual discounts and estimated uncompensated care. Provisions for contractual discounts and uncompensated care have increased historically primarily as a result of increases in gross billing rates without corresponding increases in payor reimbursement.

 

The table below summarizes our approximate payor mix as a percentage of both net revenue and total transports and patient encounters for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. In determining the net revenue payor mix, we use cash collections in the period as an approximation of net revenue recorded. As illustrated below, commercial insurance and managed care has consistently represented our largest payor group based on net revenue, comprising 53% of cash collections in 2014. Separately, given the emergency nature of many of our services, self-pay (primarily uninsured patients) has represented approximately 17% of our total patient volume, but only 3% - 4% of our total cash collections. EmCare’s emergency department (“ED”) volume is approximately 19.3% self-pay and AMR’s ambulance volume is approximately 17.6% self-pay. The decrease in self-pay as a percentage of total revenue over the past three years has been due to additional EmCare service lines with lower self-pay, including our post-acute care services.

In addition to continually monitoring our payor mix, we also analyze certain measures in each of our business segments.

 

EmCare

 

Of EmCare’s net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014, approximately 72.0% was derived from our hospital contracts for emergency department staffing, 10% from contracts related to anesthesiology services, 9% from our hospitalist/inpatient services, 4% from our post-acute care services, 2% from our radiology/teleradiology services, 1% from our surgery services, and 2% from other hospital management services. Approximately 83% of EmCare’s net revenue was generated from billings to third party payors and patients for patient encounters and approximately 17% was generated from billings to hospitals and affiliated physician groups for professional services. EmCare’s key net revenue measures are:

 

36



Table of Contents

 

·                  Patient encounters.  We utilize patient encounters to evaluate net revenue and as the basis by which we measure certain costs of the business. We segregate patient encounters into four main categories—ED visits, hospitalist encounters, radiology reads, and anesthesiology cases—due to the differences in reimbursement rates for and associated costs of providing the various services. As a result of these differences, in certain analyses we weight our patient encounter numbers according to category in an effort to better measure net revenue and costs. In calculating “weighted patient encounters”, each radiology read and anesthesiology case is not counted as a full patient encounter as we apply a discount factor to reflect differences in reimbursement rates for and associated costs of providing such services.

 

·                  Number of contracts.  This reflects the number of contractual relationships we have for outsourced ED staffing, anesthesiology, hospitalist/inpatient, radiology, tele-radiology, surgery and other hospital management services. We analyze the change in our number of contracts from period to period based on “net new contracts,” which is the difference between total new contracts and contracts that have terminated.

 

·                  Revenue per patient encounter.  This reflects the expected net revenue for each patient encounter based on gross billings less all estimated provisions for contractual discounts and uncompensated care. Net revenue per patient encounter also includes net revenue from billings to third party payors and hospitals.

 

The change from period to period in the number of patient encounters under our “same store” contracts is influenced by general community conditions as well as hospital-specific elements, many of which are beyond our direct control. The general community conditions include: (i) the timing, location and severity of influenza, allergens and other annually recurring viruses and (ii) severe weather that affects a region’s health status and/or infrastructure. Hospital-specific elements include the timing and extent of facility renovations, hospital staffing issues and regulations that affect patient flow through the hospital.

 

The costs incurred in our EmCare business segment consist primarily of compensation and benefits for physicians and other professional providers, professional liability costs, and contract and other support costs. EmCare’s key cost measures include:

 

·                  Provider compensation per hour of coverage.  Provider compensation per hour of coverage includes all compensation and benefit costs for all professional providers, including physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners, during each patient encounter. Providers include all full- time, part-time and independently contracted providers. Analyzing provider compensation per hour of coverage enables us to monitor our most significant cost in performing services under our contracts.

 

·                  Professional liability costs.  These costs include provisions for estimated losses for actual claims, and claims likely to be incurred in the period, based on our past loss experience and actuarial analysis provided by a third party, as well as actual direct costs, including investigation and defense costs, claims payments, and other costs related to provider professional liability.

 

EmCare’s business is not as capital intensive as AMR’s and EmCare’s depreciation expense relates primarily to charges for usage of computer hardware and software, and other technologies. Amortization expense relates primarily to intangibles recorded for customer relationships.

 

AMR

 

Approximately 83% of AMR’s net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was transport revenue derived from the treatment and transportation of patients, including fixed-wing air ambulance services, based on billings to third party payors, healthcare facilities and patients. The balance of AMR’s net revenue is derived from direct billings to communities and government agencies, including FEMA, for the provision of training, dispatch center and other services. AMR’s measures for transport net revenue include:

 

·                  Transports.  We utilize transport data, including the number and types of transports, to evaluate net revenue and as the basis by which we measure certain costs of the business. We segregate transports into two main categories—ambulance transports (including emergency, as well as non- emergency, critical care and other interfacility transports) and wheelchair transports—due to the differences in reimbursement and the associated costs of providing ambulance and wheelchair transports. As a result of these differences, in certain analyses we weight our transport numbers according to category in an effort to better measure net revenue and costs. In calculating “weighted transports”, each wheelchair transport is not counted as a full transport, as we apply a discount factor to reflect differences in reimbursement rates for and associated costs of providing such services.

 

·                  Net revenue per transport.  Net revenue per transport reflects the expected net revenue for each transport based on gross billings less provisions for contractual discounts and estimated uncompensated care. In order to better understand the

 

37



Table of Contents

 

trends across service lines and in our transport rates, we analyze our net revenue per transport based on weighted transports to reflect the differences in our transportation mix.

 

The change from period to period in the number of transports and net revenue per transport is influenced by changes in transports in existing markets from both new and existing facilities we serve for non-emergency transports, and the effects of general community conditions for emergency transports. The general community conditions may include (i) the timing, location and severity of influenza, allergens and other annually recurring viruses, (ii) severe weather that affects a region’s health status and/or infrastructure and (iii) community-specific demographic changes.

 

The costs we incur in our AMR business segment consist primarily of compensation and benefits for ambulance crews and support personnel, direct and indirect operating costs to provide transportation services, and costs related to accident and insurance claims. AMR’s key cost measures include:

 

·                  Unit hours and cost per unit hour.  Our measurement of a unit hour is based on a fully staffed ambulance or wheelchair van for one operating hour. We use unit hours and cost per unit hour to measure compensation-related costs and the efficiency of our deployed resources. We monitor unit hours and cost per unit hour on a combined basis, as well as on a segregated basis between ambulance and wheelchair transports.

 

·                  Operating costs per transport.  Operating costs per transport is comprised of certain direct operating costs, including vehicle operating costs, medical supplies and other transport-related costs, but excluding compensation- related costs. Monitoring operating costs per transport allows us to better evaluate cost trends and operating practices of our regional and local management teams.

 

·                  Accident and insurance claims.  We monitor the number and magnitude of all accident and insurance claims in order to measure the effectiveness of our risk management programs. Depending on the type of claim (workers compensation, auto, general or professional liability), we monitor our performance by utilizing various bases of measurement, such as net revenue, miles driven, number of vehicles operated, compensation dollars, and number of transports.

 

We have focused our risk mitigation efforts on employee training for proper patient handling techniques, development of clinical and medical equipment protocols, driving safety, implementation of equipment to reduce lifting injuries and other risk mitigation processes.

 

AMR’s business requires various investments in long-term assets and depreciation expense relates primarily to charges for usage of these assets, including vehicles, computer hardware and software, medical equipment, and other technologies. Amortization expense relates primarily to intangibles recorded for customer relationships.

 

Factors Affecting Operating Results

 

Rate Changes by Government Sponsored Programs

 

In February 2002, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) issued the Medicare Ambulance Fee Schedule Final Rule (“Ambulance Fee Schedule”) that revised Medicare policy on the coverage of ambulance transport services, effective April 1, 2002. The Ambulance Fee Schedule was the result of a mandate under the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (“BBA”) to establish a national fee schedule for payment of ambulance transport services that would control increases in expenditures under Part B of the Medicare program, establish definitions for ambulance transport services that link payments to the type of services furnished, consider appropriate regional and operational differences and consider adjustments to account for inflation, among other provisions. The Ambulance Fee Schedule provided for a five-year phase-in of a national fee schedule, beginning April 1, 2002. While a reduced fee schedule was scheduled to go into effect in 2014, Congress extended updates preventing any reductions in payment rates for the three months ended March 31, 2014 which has been extended until April 1, 2015.

 

Although we have been able to substantially mitigate the phased-in reductions of the BBA through additional fee and subsidy increases, we may not be able to continue to do so.

 

Medicare law requires CMS to adjust the Physician Fee Schedule payment rates annually based on a formula which includes an application of the Sustainable Growth Rate (the “SGR”) that was adopted in the BBA. This formula has yielded negative updates every year beginning in 2002, although CMS was able to take administrative steps to avoid a reduction in 2003 and Congress took a series of legislative actions to prevent reductions each year from 2004 through 2013.  Legislative action by Congress in December 2013 resulted in a delay of the Physician Fee Schedule SGR cuts until April 1, 2014.  In the first quarter of 2014, Congress passed a bill to avoid reductions in Medicare payments to physicians due to the Physician Fee Schedule SGR until April 1, 2015.

 

38



Table of Contents

 

This same bill extended the ambulance fee schedule add-on payments until April 1, 2015 as well.

 

On August 2, 2011, the Budget Control Act of 2011 (Public Law 112-25) (the “Budget Control Act”) was enacted. Under the Budget Control Act, a Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction (the “Joint Committee”) was established to develop recommendations to reduce the deficit, over 10 years, by $1.2 trillion to $1.5 trillion, and was required to report its recommendations to Congress by November 23, 2011. Under the Budget Control Act, Congress was then required to consider the Joint Committee’s recommendations by December 23, 2011. If the Joint Committee failed to refer agreed upon legislation to Congress or did not meet the required savings threshold set out in the Budget Control Act, a sequestration process would be put into effect, government-wide, to reduce Federal outlays by the proposed amount. Because the Joint Committee failed to report the requisite recommendations for deficit reduction, the sequestration process was set to automatically start, impacting Medicare and certain other government programs beginning in January 2013. Congress passed the American Taxpayer Relief Act, signed into law on January 2, 2013, delaying the start of sequestration until March 1, 2013. In order to provide its contractors and providers sufficient lead time to implement the cuts in Medicare, CMS delayed implementation of Medicare cuts until April 1, 2013. As there has been no further Congressional action with respect to the sequestration, reimbursements were cut by 2% for Medicare providers, including physicians and ambulance providers, starting April 1, 2013, and cuts are scheduled annually through 2021. A subsequent round of budget sequestration cuts took effect in January 2014 further reducing Medicare provider reimbursements by another 2% for 2014. The Continuing Appropriations Resolution 2014 (Public Law 113-67), enacted December 26, 2013, extends the annual budget sequestration cuts to Medicare provider payments for an additional two years through 2023.

 

On November 1, 2012, CMS released the final regulation which implements Section 1202 of the Patient and Affordable Care Act. This section increases Medicaid payments for specified primary care services in both the fee for service and managed care settings to Medicare levels for certain primary care physicians in 2013 and 2014. This resulted in an increase to our net revenue of approximately $7.3 million and less than $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Changes in Net New Contracts

 

Our operating results are affected directly by the number of net new contracts we have in a period, reflecting the effects of both new contracts and contract expirations. We regularly bid for new contracts, frequently in a formal competitive bidding process that often requires written responses to a request for proposal (“RFP”), and, in any fiscal period, certain of our contracts will expire. We may elect not to seek extension or renewal of a contract if we determine that we cannot do so on favorable terms. With respect to expiring contracts we would like to renew, we may be required to seek renewal through an RFP, and we may not be successful in retaining any such contracts, or retaining them on terms that are as favorable as present terms.

 

Inflation and Fuel Costs

 

Certain of our expenses, such as wages and benefits, insurance, fuel and equipment repair and maintenance costs, are subject to normal inflationary pressures. Fuel expense represented 12.2% and 13.3% of AMR’s operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Although we have generally been able to offset inflationary cost increases through increased operating efficiencies and successful negotiation of fees and subsidies, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to offset any future inflationary cost increases through similar efficiencies and fee changes.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

For a discussion of accounting policies that we consider critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations that affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our unaudited consolidated financial statements, please refer to “Item 7.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies” contained in Holding’s and Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.  As of March 31, 2014, there were no significant changes in our critical accounting policies or estimation procedures.

Non-GAAP Measures

 

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiary, income taxes, loss on early debt extinguishment, other income (expense), net, realized gains (losses) on investments, interest expense, equity-based compensation expense, related party management fees, restructuring charges, and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used by management and investors as a performance measure and liquidity indicator. Adjusted EBITDA is not considered a measure of financial performance under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to such GAAP measures as net income, cash flows provided by or used in operating, investing or financing activities or other financial statement data presented in our financial statements as an indicator of financial performance or liquidity. Since Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure determined in accordance with GAAP and is susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

 

The following tables set forth a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) and cash flows provided by operating activities:

Quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2013

 

Consolidated — Holding

 

Our results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 reflect an increase in net revenue of $125.9 million and an increase in net income of $25.4 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in net income is attributable primarily to the decrease in interest expense from the redemption of the 2019 Notes in December of 2013, the redemption of the PIK Notes in August of 2013, and the re-pricing of the Term Loan Facility and ABL Facility in February of 2013 and the decrease in expenses related to the dissenting shareholder lawsuit that was settled in 2013.

 

Net revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we generated net revenue of $1,014.2 million compared to $888.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, representing an increase of 14.2%. The increase is attributable primarily to increases in rates and volumes on existing contracts combined with increased volume from net new contracts and acquisitions, partially offset by the impact of markets exited.

 

Adjusted EBITDA.  For the three months ended March 31, 2014, Adjusted EBTIDA was $110.0 million, or 10.8% of net revenue, compared to $100.9 million, or 11.4% of net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

 

Restructuring charges.  For the three months ended March 31, 2014, restructuring charges were $0.8 million, related to continuing efforts to re-align AMR and EmCare operations, compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

 

Interest expense.  For the three months ended March 31, 2014, interest expense was $30.0 million compared to $51.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013.  The decrease was due to the redemption of the 2019 Notes on December 30, 2013, the redemption of the PIK Notes on August 30, 2013, and the re-pricing of the Term Loan Facility and ABL Facility in February 2013.

 

Other expense, net.  For the three months ended March 31, 2014, other expense, net was $0.8 million of expense compared to $12.7 million of expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013.  We recorded $8.4 million of expense during the three months ended March 31, 2013 related to a settlement with a prior shareholder regarding its appraisal action over its holdings in Corporation prior to the merger of Corporation with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holding (the “Merger”) on May 25, 2011.

 

Income tax expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, income tax expense was $16.7 million compared to $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013.  Our effective tax rate was 43.7% and (189.7)% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was impacted by the settlement with a prior shareholder regarding its appraisal action over its holdings in Corporation prior to the Merger, which was not deductible for tax purposes.

Consolidated — Corporation

 

Our results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 reflect an increase in net revenue of $125.9 million and an increase in net income of $19.2 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013.  The increase in net income is attributable primarily to the decrease in interest expense from the redemption of the 2019 Notes in December of 2013 and the re-pricing of the Term Loan Facility and ABL Facility in February of 2013 and the decrease in expenses related to the dissenting shareholder lawsuit that was settled in 2013.

The increase is attributable primarily to increases in rates and volumes on existing contracts combined with increased volume from net new contracts and acquisitions, partially offset by the impact of markets exited.

 

Adjusted EBITDA.  For the three months ended March 31, 2014, Adjusted EBTIDA was $110.0 million, or 10.8% of net revenue, compared to $101.0 million, or 11.4% of net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

 

Restructuring charges.  For the three months ended March 31, 2014, restructuring charges were $0.8 million, related to continuing efforts to re-align AMR and EmCare operations, compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

 

Interest expense.  For the three months ended March 31, 2014, interest expense was $30.0 million compared to $40.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013.  The decrease was due to the redemption of the 2019 Notes on December 30, 2013 and the re-pricing of the Term Loan Facility and ABL Facility in February 2013.

 

Other income (expense), net.  For the three months ended March 31, 2014, other income (expense), net was $0.3 million of income compared to $12.7 million of expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013.  We recorded $8.4 million of expense during the three months ended March 31, 2013 related to a settlement with a prior shareholder regarding its appraisal action over its holdings in Corporation prior to the Merger.

 

Income tax expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, income tax expense was $17.1 million compared to $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013.  Our effective tax rate was 43.4% and 70.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  For the three months ended March 31, 2013, our effective tax rate was impacted by the settlement with a prior shareholder regarding its appraisal action over its holdings in Corporation prior to the Merger, which was not deductible for tax purposes.

 

EmCare

 

Net revenue.  For the three months ended March 31, 2014, EmCare generated net revenue of $644.6 million compared to $554.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, representing an increase of $89.7 million, or 16.2%.  The increase was due to an increase in patient encounters from net new hospital contracts and net revenue increases in existing contracts. Net new contracts since March 31, 2013 accounted for a net revenue increase of $73.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, of which $70.0 million came from net new contracts added in 2013, with the remaining increase in net revenue from those added in 2014.  Net revenue under our “same store” contracts (contracts in existence for the entirety of both periods) increased $14.0 million, or 2.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The change was due to a 4.6% increase in revenue per weighted patient encounter offset by a 1.7% decrease in same store weighted patient encounters. Revenue from recent acquisitions was $1.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

 

Compensation and benefits. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, compensation and benefits costs were $525.1 million, or 81.4% of net revenue, compared to $439.4 million, or 79.2% of net revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Provider compensation costs increased $70.5 million from net new contract additions and acquisitions. Same store provider compensation costs were $9.9 million higher than the prior period due primarily to a 4.7% increase in provider compensation per weighted patient encounter due to recruiting challenges at a limited number of our contracts offset by a 1.7% decrease in same store weighted patient encounters. Non-provider compensation and total benefits costs increased by $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase was due to organic growth.

 

Operating expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, operating expenses were $23.6 million, or 3.7% of net revenue, compared to $23.0 million, or 4.1% of net revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

 

Insurance expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, professional liability insurance expense was $17.0 million, or 2.6% of net revenue, compared to $16.9 million, or 3.0% of net revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2013. We recorded an

increase of prior year insurance provisions of $2.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to an increase of $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

 

Selling, general and administrative. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, selling, general, and administrative expense was $11.3 million, or 1.7% of net revenue, compared to $10.7 million, or 1.9% of net revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

 

Depreciation and amortization. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, depreciation and amortization expense was $16.3 million, or 2.5% of net revenue, compared to $16.8 million, or 3.0% of net revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

 

AMR

 

Net revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, AMR generated net revenue of $369.6 million compared to $333.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, representing an increase of $36.2 million, or 10.9%. The increase in net revenue was due primarily to an increase in net revenue per weighted transport of 4.6%, or $15.4 million, primarily from increased fixed wing air ambulance net revenue which has higher revenue per transport, increased managed transportation revenue which has no associated transport volume and increased rates in existing markets and an increase of 6.3%, or $20.8 million, in weighted transport volume.  Weighted transports increased 44,030 from the same quarter last year. The change was due to an increase of 60,040 weighted transports from our entry into new markets and recent acquisitions offset by a decrease of 13,560 weighted transports from exited markets and a decrease in weighted transport volume in existing markets of 0.4%, or 2,450 weighted transports.

 

Compensation and benefits. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, compensation and benefits costs were $218.6 million, or 59.1% of net revenue, compared to $202.4 million, or 60.7% of net revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2013.  The increase was primarily due to additional compensation and benefits costs from the expansion of our fixed wing air ambulance operations and new markets and recent acquisitions. Ambulance crew wages per ambulance unit hour increased by approximately 0.2%, or $0.3 million, and ambulance unit hours increased period over period by 7.2%, or $8.2 million. Non-crew compensation increased $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 due to increased costs associated with the net impact from markets entered and exited and increased costs from recent acquisitions. Total benefits related costs increased $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 due primarily to the impact from markets entered and recent acquisitions.

 

Operating expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, operating expenses were $91.0 million, or 24.6% of net revenue, compared to $77.4 million, or 23.2% of net revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The change was due primarily to increased costs of $2.7 million associated with the net impact from markets entered and exited and increased costs of $12.5 million primarily from recent managed transportation acquisitions offset by decreased costs associated with our managed transportation business of $1.3 million and other miscellaneous net operating costs of $0.3 million.

 

Insurance expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, insurance expense was $14.0 million, or 3.8% of net revenue, compared to $8.9 million, or 2.7% of net revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2013. We recorded an increase of prior year insurance provisions of $3.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to a decrease of $1.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

 

Selling, general and administrative. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, selling, general, and administrative expense was $8.1 million, or 2.2% of net revenue, compared to $11.3 million, or 3.4% of net revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease was due to the receipt of $1.9 million in reimbursement of costs associated with certain exit activities.

 

Depreciation and amortization. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, depreciation and amortization expense was $20.2 million, or 5.5% of net revenue, compared to $18.0 million, or 5.4% of net revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase was due primarily to technology and fleet-related additions and an increase in amortizable intangible assets from recent acquisitions.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our primary source of liquidity is cash flows provided by the operating activities of our subsidiaries. Corporation and its subsidiaries also have the ability to use the ABL Facility, described below, to supplement cash flows provided by our operating activities if we decide to do so for strategic or operating reasons. Our liquidity needs are primarily to service long-term debt and to fund working capital requirements, capital expenditures related to the acquisition of vehicles and medical equipment, technology-related assets and insurance-related deposits.

On May 25, 2011, Corporation issued $950 million of the 2019 Notes and entered into the $1.8 billion Senior Secured Credit Facilities, which are further described in Note 7 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements that consisted of a $1.44 billion Term Loan Facility and a $350 million ABL Facility.

 

2019 Notes

 

During the second quarter of 2012, Corporation’s captive insurance subsidiary purchased $15.0 million of the 2019 Notes through an open market transaction and currently holds $9.8 million of the 2019 Notes subsequent to the partial redemption of the 2019 Notes on December 30, 2013. On December 30, 2013, Corporation redeemed $332.5 million in principal amount of the 2019 Notes of which $5.2 million was held by our captive insurance subsidiary with a portion of the net proceeds of Holding’s initial public offering, at a redemption price equal to 108.125% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest of $2.2 million. During the fourth quarter of 2013, Corporation recorded a loss on early debt extinguishment of $38.7 million related to premiums and unamortized debt issuance costs from the redemption of the 2019 Notes.

 

The indenture governing the 2019 Notes and the credit agreements governing the ABL Facility and the Term Loan Facility contain significant covenants, including prohibitions on our ability to incur certain additional indebtedness and to make certain investments and to pay dividends.

 

Term Loan Facility

 

On February 7, 2013, Corporation, the borrower under the Term Loan Facility, entered into a First Amendment (the “Term Loan Amendment”) to the credit agreement governing the Term Loan Facility (as amended, the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”). Under the Term Loan Amendment, Corporation incurred an additional $150 million in incremental borrowings under the Term Loan Facility, the proceeds of which were used to pay down the ABL Facility. In addition, the rate at which the loans under the Term Loan Credit Agreement bear interest was amended to equal (i) the higher of (x) LIBOR and (y) 1.00%, plus, in each case, 3.00% (with a step-down to 2.75% in the event that we meet a consolidated first lien net leverage ratio of 2.50:1.00), or (ii) the alternate base rate, which will be the highest of (w) the corporate base rate established by the administrative agent from time to time, (x) 0.50% in excess of the overnight federal funds rate, (y) the one-month LIBOR (adjusted for maximum reserves) plus 1.00% and (z) 2.00%, plus, in each case, 2.00% (with a step-down to 1.75% in the event that Corporation meets a consolidated first lien net leverage ratio of 2.50:1.00).

 

ABL Facility

 

On February 27, 2013, Corporation entered into a First Amendment to the credit agreement governing the ABL Facility (as amended, the “ABL Credit Agreement”), under which Corporation increased its commitments under the ABL Facility to $450 million and extended the term to 2018. In addition, the rate at which the loans under the ABL Credit Agreement bear interest was amended to equal (i) LIBOR plus, (x) 2.00% in the event that average daily excess availability is less than or equal to 33% of availability, (y) 1.75% in the event that average daily excess availability is greater than 33% but less than or equal to 66% of availability and (z) 1.50% in the event that average daily excess availability is greater than 66% of availability, or (ii) the alternate base rate, which will be the highest of (x) the corporate base rate established by the administrative agent from time to time, (y) 0.50% in excess of the overnight federal funds rate and (z) the one-month LIBOR (adjusted for maximum reserves) plus 1.00% plus, in each case, (A) 1.00% in the event that average daily excess availability is less than or equal to 33% of availability, (B) 0.75% in the event that average daily excess availability is greater than 33% but less than or equal to 66% of availability and (C) 0.50% in the event that average daily excess availability is greater than 66% of availability.

 

The ABL Facility provides for up to $450 million of senior secured first priority borrowings, subject to a borrowing base of $450.0 million as of March 31, 2014. Corporation is the borrower under the ABL Facility. The ABL Facility is available to fund working capital and for general corporate purposes. As of March 31, 2014, we had available borrowing capacity of $317.5 million and $132.5 million of letters of credit issued under the ABL Facility.

 

While the ABL Facility generally does not contain financial maintenance covenants, a springing fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0 will be tested if our excess availability (as defined in the credit agreement governing the ABL Facility) falls below specified thresholds at any time. If we require additional financing to meet cyclical increases in working capital needs, to fund acquisitions or unanticipated capital expenditures, we may need to access the financial markets.

 

PIK Notes

 

On October 1, 2012, Holding issued $450 million aggregate principal amount of the PIK Notes.

Table of Contents

 

On April 1, 2013, Corporation declared and paid a dividend to Envision Healthcare Intermediate Corporation, which in turn paid a dividend to Holding in the amount of $20.8 million for Holding to pay interest due on the PIK Notes.

 

On August 30, 2013, Holding redeemed the PIK Notes in full with a portion of the net proceeds of Holding’s initial public offering, at a redemption price equal to 102.75% of the aggregate principal amount of the PIK Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest of $17.2 million. During the third quarter of 2013, Holding recorded a loss on early debt extinguishment of $29.5 million related to premiums and unamortized debt issuance costs from the redemption of the PIK Notes.

 

We may from time to time repurchase or otherwise retire or extend our debt and/or take other steps to reduce our debt or otherwise improve our financial position. These actions may include open market debt repurchases, negotiated repurchases, other retirements of outstanding debt, and/or opportunistic refinancing of debt. The amount of debt that may be repurchased or otherwise retired or refinanced, if any, will depend on market conditions, trading levels of our debt, our cash position, compliance with debt covenants and other considerations. Our affiliates may also purchase our debt from time to time, through open market purchases or other transactions. In such cases, our debt may not be retired, in which case we would continue to pay interest in accordance with the terms of the debt, and we would continue to reflect the debt as outstanding in our consolidated statements of financial position.

 

On August 13, 2013, Holding’s Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC for an initial public offering of its Common Stock. Holding registered the offering and sale of 42,000,000 shares of Common Stock and an additional 6,300,000 shares of Common Stock, to be sold to the underwriters pursuant to their option to purchase additional shares at a price of $23 per share. On August 19, 2013, Holding completed the offering of 48,300,000 shares of Common Stock, at a price of $23 for an aggregate offering price of $1,110.9 million. At the closing, we received net proceeds of approximately $1,025.9 million, after deducting the underwriters’ discounts and commissions paid and offering expenses of approximately $85.0 million, including a $20.0 million payment to CD&R in connection with the termination of the consulting agreement with CD&R which was recorded to selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations.

 

Net proceeds from the initial public offering were used to (i) redeem in full Holding’s PIK Notes for a total of $479.6 million, which included a call premium pursuant to the indenture governing the PIK Notes and all accrued but unpaid interest, (ii) pay CD&R the fee of $20.0 million to terminate the consulting agreement with CD&R, (iii) pay $16.5 million to repay all outstanding revolving credit facility borrowings, and (iv) redeem $332.5 million in principal amount of the 2019 Notes of which $5.2 million was held by our captive insurance subsidiary for a total of $356.5 million, which included a call premium pursuant to the indenture governing the 2019 Notes and all accrued but unpaid interest. The remaining proceeds were used for general corporate purposes which included, among other things, repayment of indebtedness and acquisitions.

We regularly analyze DSO which is calculated by dividing our net revenue for the quarter by the number of days in the quarter. The result is divided into net accounts receivable at the end of the period. DSO provides us with a gauge to measure receivables, revenue and collection activities.

 

The following table outlines our DSO by segment and in total excluding the impact of acquisitions completed within the specific quarter and the impact of the FEMA deployment at AMR in 2012:

which were used to pay down our ABL Facility.  Additionally, we paid approximately $5.0 million in costs incurred to refinance the Term Loan Facility and ABL Facility.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Our primary exposure to market risk consists of changes in fuel prices, changes in interest rates on certain of our borrowings, and changes in stock prices. While we have from time to time entered into transactions to mitigate our exposure to both changes in fuel prices and interest rates, we do not use these instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

 

We manage our exposure to changes in fuel prices and, as appropriate, use highly effective derivative instruments to manage well-defined risk exposures. As of March 31, 2014, we were party to a series of fuel hedge transactions with a major financial institution under one master agreement. Each of the transactions effectively fixes the cost of diesel fuel at prices ranging from $3.63 to $3.82 per gallon. We purchase the diesel fuel at the market rate and periodically settle with our counterparty for the difference between the national average price for the period published by the Department of Energy and the agreed upon fixed price. The transactions fix the price for a total of 1.9 million gallons during the periods hedged through December 2014.

 

On October 17, 2011, we entered into interest rate swap agreements which mature on August 31, 2015. The swap agreements are with major financial institutions and effectively convert a notional amount of $400 million in variable rate debt to fixed rate debt with an effective rate of 4.49%. We will continue to make interest payments based on the variable rate associated with the debt (based on LIBOR, but not less than 1.0%) and will periodically settle with our counterparties for the difference between the rate paid and the fixed rate.

 

As of March 31, 2014, we had $1,904.3 million of debt, excluding capital leases, of which $1,295.7 million was variable rate debt under our senior secured credit facility and the balance was fixed rate debt. An increase or decrease in interest rates of 1.0%, above our LIBOR floor of 1.0%, will impact our interest costs by $13 million annually.

 

We are exposed to changes in stock prices primarily as a result of our holdings in publicly traded securities.  We believe that changes in stock prices can be expected to vary as a result of general market conditions, specific industry changes, and other factors.  As of March 31, 2014, the fair value of our available-for-sale securities was $7.5 million.  Had the market price of such securities been 10% lower as of March 31, 2014, the aggregate fair value of such securities would have been $0.8 million lower.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Holding and Corporation maintain systems of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that they file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or furnishes under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, Holding’s and Corporation’s management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

Based on the evaluation of Holding’s and Corporation’s management of Holding’s and Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures conducted as of the end of the period covered by this Report on Form 10-Q, Holding’s and Corporation’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the date of their evaluation, Holding’s and Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a -15(e) and 15d -15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) were effective as of March 31, 2014.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
