      • Gross margin decreased 0.2% to $144.5 million, compared to Q1 2022

    ATLANTA, May 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aveanna Healthcare Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVAH), a leading, diversified home care platform focused on providing care to medically complex, high-cost patient populations, today announced financial results for the three-month period ended April 1, 2023.

    Jeff Shaner, Chief Executive Officer, commented “Our first quarter results reflect the Aveanna team’s remarkable ability to adapt and transform our businesses as we execute on our strategic initiatives. Enhanced payor partnerships allow us to further invest in our caregivers and broaden our care to more patients in need. We are delivering high-quality care to our patients at an exceptional value to our government and payor partners. The Aveanna team’s efforts produced solid results, and we are pleased with our early 2023 performance. We remain confident in our outlook for the remainder of 2023.”

    Three-Month Periods Ended April 1, 2023 and April 2, 2022

    Revenue was $466.4 million for the three-month period ended April 1, 2023, as compared to $450.5 million for the three-month period ended April 2, 2022, an increase of $15.9 million, or 3.5%. The overall increase in revenue was attributable to a $22.8 million increase in Private Duty Services (“PDS”) segment revenue and a $3.6 million increase in Medical Solutions ("MS") segment revenue, partially offset by a $10.5 million decrease in Home Health & Hospice (“HHH”) segment revenue over the comparable quarter.

    Gross margin was $144.5 million, or 31.0% of revenue, for the three months ended April 1, 2023, as compared to $144.8 million, or 32.1% of revenue, for the three months ended April 2, 2022, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 0.2%.

    Net loss was $32.0 million for the first quarter of 2023, as compared to net income of $25.3 million for the first quarter of 2022, primarily attributable to a $56.8 million decrease in non-cash valuation gains associated with interest rate derivatives driven by changes in market expectations for future interest rates. Net loss per diluted share was $0.17 for the first quarter of 2023, as compared to net income per diluted share of $0.14 for the first quarter of 2022. Adjusted net loss per diluted share was $0.05 for the first quarter of 2023, as compared to adjusted net income per diluted share of $0.04 for the first quarter of 2022.

    Adjusted EBITDA was $28.5 million, or 6.1% of revenue, for the first quarter of 2023, as compared to $38.0 million, or 8.4% of revenue, for the first quarter of 2022.

    Liquidity, Cash Flow, and Debt

    • As of April 1, 2023, we had cash of $34.4 million and incremental borrowing capacity of $20.0 million under our securitization facility. Our revolver was undrawn, with approximately $162.0 million of borrowing capacity and approximately $38.0 million of outstanding letters of credit.
    • First quarter 2023 net cash provided by operating activities was $7.5 million. Free cash flow was $2.9 million for the first quarter of 2023. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures - Free cash flow” below.
    • As of April 1, 2023 we had bank debt of $1,476.7 million. Our interest rate exposure under our credit facilities is currently hedged with the following instruments:
      • $520.0 million notional amount of interest rate swaps that convert variable rate debt to a fixed rate, and
      • $880.0 million notional amount of interest rate caps that cap our exposure to LIBOR at 3.0%.

    The leverage maintenance covenants in our revolving credit facility do not become operative unless more than 30% of the total commitment under the revolving credit facility has been utilized, subject to a $15.0 million carve-out for letters of credit. Should the leverage maintenance covenant become operative, maximum allowable first lien leverage would be 7.6x.

    David Afshar, Chief Financial Officer, commented “We are pleased with the first quarter results delivered by our dedicated Aveanna teams as we continue to focus on improving the quality of our earnings as well as cash flow growth. We believe we have the necessary liquidity to fund our operations, and our hedged positions on our credit facilities provide us with continued protection against interest rate increases. Our interest rate swaps extend through June 2026, and our interest rate caps extend through February 2027.”

    Full Year 2023 Guidance

    • Revenue of at least $1,840 million

    Consistent with prior practice, we are not providing guidance on net income at this time due to the volatility of certain required inputs that are not available without unreasonable efforts, including future fair value adjustments associated with our interest rate swaps and caps.

    • Adjusted EBITDA of at least $130 million

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    In addition to our results of operations prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we also evaluate our financial performance using EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Field contribution, Field contribution margin, Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per diluted share, and Free cash flow. Given our determination of adjustments in arriving at our computations, these non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes or alternatives to net income or loss, revenue, operating income or loss, cash flows from operating activities, total indebtedness or any other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

    EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

    EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures and are not intended to replace financial performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP, such as net (loss) income. Rather, we present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental measures of our performance. We define EBITDA as net (loss) income before interest expense, net; income tax (expense) benefit; and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, adjusted for the impact of certain other items that are either non-recurring, infrequent, non-cash, unusual, or items deemed by management to not be indicative of the performance of our core operations, including impairments of goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets; non-cash, share-based compensation; loss on extinguishment of debt; fees related to debt modifications; the effect of interest rate derivatives; acquisition-related and integration costs; legal costs and settlements associated with acquisition matters; COVID-19 related costs; restructuring costs; other legal matters; and other system transition costs, professional fees and other costs. As non-GAAP financial measures, our computations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may vary from similarly termed non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, making comparisons with other companies on the basis of this measure impracticable.

    We believe our computations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are helpful in highlighting trends in our core operating performance. In determining which adjustments are made to arrive at EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, we consider both (1) certain non-recurring, infrequent, non-cash or unusual items, which can vary significantly from year to year, as well as (2) certain other items that may be recurring, frequent, or settled in cash but which we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to assess operating performance and make business decisions.

    We have incurred substantial acquisition-related costs and integration costs. The underlying acquisition activities take place over a defined timeframe, have distinct project timelines and are incremental to activities and costs that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Therefore, we believe it is important to exclude these costs from our Adjusted EBITDA because it provides us a normalized view of our core, ongoing operations after integrating our acquired companies, which we believe is an important measure in assessing our performance.

    Field contribution and Field contribution margin

    Field contribution and Field contribution margin are non-GAAP financial measures and are not intended to replace financial performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP, such as gross margin and gross margin percentage. Rather, we present Field contribution and Field contribution margin as supplemental measures of our performance. We define Field contribution as gross margin less branch and regional administrative expenses. Field contribution margin is Field contribution as a percentage of revenue. As non-GAAP financial measures, our computations of Field contribution and Field contribution margin may vary from similarly termed non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, making comparisons with other companies on the basis of these measures impracticable.

    Field contribution and Field contribution margin have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes or alternatives to gross margin, gross margin percentage, net income or loss, revenue, operating income or loss, cash flows from operating activities, total indebtedness or any other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

    Management believes Field contribution and Field contribution margin are helpful in highlighting trends in our core operating performance and evaluating trends in our branch and regional results, which can vary from year to year. We use Field contribution and Field contribution margin to make business decisions and assess the operating performance and results delivered by our core field operations, prior to corporate and other costs not directly related to our field operations. These metrics are also important because they guide us in determining whether or not our branch and regional administrative expenses are appropriately sized to support our caregivers and direct patient care operations. Additionally, Field contribution and Field contribution margin determine how effective we are in managing our field supervisory and administrative costs associated with supporting our provision of services and sale of products.

    Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share

    Adjusted net income represents net income (loss) as adjusted for the impact of GAAP income tax, goodwill, intangible and other long-lived asset impairment charges, non-cash share-based compensation expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, interest rate derivatives, acquisition-related costs, integration costs, legal costs, COVID-related costs net of reimbursement, restructuring costs, other legal matters, other system transition costs, professional fees and certain other miscellaneous items on a pre-tax basis. Adjusted net income includes a provision for income taxes derived utilizing a combined statutory tax rate. The combined statutory tax rate is our estimate of our long-term tax rate. The most comparable GAAP measure is net income (loss).

    Adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share represents adjusted net income (loss) on a per diluted share basis using the weighted-average number of diluted shares outstanding for the period. The most comparable GAAP measure is net income (loss) per share, diluted.

    Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share are important to us because they allow us to assess financial results, exclusive of the items mentioned above that are not operational in nature or comparable to those of our competitors.

    Free cash flow

    Free cash flow is a liquidity measure that represents operating cash flow, adjusted for the impact of purchases of property, equipment and software, principal payments on term loans, notes payable and financing leases, and settlements with derivative counterparties. The most comparable GAAP measure is cash flow from operations.

    We believe free cash flow is helpful in highlighting the cash generated or used by the Company, after taking into consideration mandatory payments on term loans, notes payable and financing leases, as well cash needed for non-acquisition related capital expenditures, and cash paid to or received from derivative counterparties.
