    来源: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 09 8月 2022 16:10:00   America/New_York

    SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Aug. 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LifeStance Health Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: LFST), one of the nation’s largest providers of outpatient mental health care, today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

    (All results compared to prior-year comparative period, unless otherwise noted)
    Q2 2022 Highlights and FY 2022 Outlook

    • Revenue of $209.5 million increased $49.0 million or 31% compared to revenue of $160.5 million
    • Total clinicians of 5,226 up 31%, a net increase of 237 in the second quarter
    • Net loss of $68.7 million compared to net loss of $70.0 million, primarily driven by stock-based compensation expense of $57.5 million
    • Adjusted EBITDA of positive $14.6 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of positive $14.5 million
    • Expecting full year 2022 revenue and Center Margin toward the bottom end of the previously guided ranges of $865 million to $885 million and $240 million to $255 million, respectively, due to refined clinician seasonality assumptions; reaffirming Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $63 million to $67 million

    "We delivered another quarter of solid results,” said Michael Lester, Chairman and CEO of LifeStance. “This quarter was highlighted by profitability performance that was consistent with our expectations. We are proud of the critical role we play in helping patients navigate their mental health journey while demonstrating the effectiveness of our unique hybrid business model, which is focused on meeting patient needs through innovations that make mental health care more affordable and accessible."

    Financial Highlights         
      Q2 2022  Q2 2021  Y/Y 
    (in millions)         
    Total revenue $209.5  $160.5   31%
    Loss from operations  (60.5)  (47.0)  29%
    Center Margin  59.8   51.2   17%
    Net loss  (68.7)  (70.0)  (2%)
    Adjusted EBITDA  14.6   14.5   1%
    As % of Total revenue:         
    Loss from operations  (28.9%)  (29.3%)   
    Center Margin  28.5%  31.9%   
    Net loss  (32.8%)  (43.6%)   
    Adjusted EBITDA  7.0%  9.1%   

    (All results compared to prior-year period, unless otherwise noted)

    • Revenue grew 31% to $209.5 million. Strong revenue growth was supported by a 31% net increase in total clinicians, driven by hiring and acquisitions. Second quarter revenue performance was impacted by approximately $4 million of incremental clinician time off in June relative to expectations.
    • Loss from operations of $60.5 million, primarily driven by stock-based compensation expense of $57.5 million. Net loss of $68.7 million.
    • Center Margin grew 17% to $59.8 million, or 28.5% of revenue. Center Margin as a percentage of revenue declined as new clinicians ramp to maturity.
    • Adjusted EBITDA remained relatively flat at $14.6 million, or 7.0% of revenue. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue declined due to the decrease in Center Margin as a percentage of revenue, partially offset by improved leverage in operating expenses.

    Strategy and Key Developments

    During the second quarter, LifeStance took several actions to support the company’s strategy to expand into new markets, build market density and offer a technology-enabled experience for patients and clinicians, including:

    • Drove 31% year-over-year growth to 5,226 clinicians with the addition of 237 net clinicians in the quarter, demonstrating that the company’s value proposition continues to resonate in the market
    • Completed four acquisitions, bringing the total since inception to 83
    • Opened 27 de novo centers to support the company's differentiated hybrid model offering both in-person and virtual care
    • Continued to deploy proprietary online booking and intake experience ("OBIE") across the country, which is now live in nine states
    • Danish Qureshi named Chief Operating Officer, effective July 1, 2022; Qureshi is a co-founder and previously served as Chief Growth Officer at LifeStance, overseeing all growth initiatives for the company including clinician recruiting, de novo center openings, payor contracting, customer care and national marketing
    • Gwen Booth named Executive Director of LifeStance Health Foundation following her retirement as Chief Operating Officer at LifeStance; Booth will lead the Foundation's work to improve mental health access for especially vulnerable patients including youth and adolescents, underrepresented minority communities and the underemployed and uninsured

    Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Capital Allocation

    For the six months ended June 30, 2022, LifeStance provided $11.1 million cash flow from operations, including $7.8 million during the second quarter of 2022. The company ended the second quarter with cash of $96.7 million and net long-term debt of $203.4 million.

    2022 Guidance1

    LifeStance now expects full year 2022 revenue and Center Margin toward the bottom end of the previously guided ranges of $865 million to $885 million and $240 million to $255 million, respectively. Based on incremental clinician time off observed in June, the company now expects approximately an $8 million impact to revenue from incremental clinician time off in July and August relative to previous expectations.

    LifeStance is reaffirming full year 2022 Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $63 million to $67 million.

    For the third quarter of 2022, the company expects revenue of $216 million to $221 million, Center Margin of $61 million to $65 million, and Adjusted EBITDA of $16 million to $19 million.

    “For the full year, we are lowering our revenue expectations slightly based on refinement of our clinician seasonality assumptions,” said Lester. “We continue to focus our planned investments to grow and optimize our clinician base while continuing to drive leverage in our operating costs.”

    (1) Guidance for the third quarter of 2022 and full year 2022 assumes no further COVID-related impacts or changes in the labor market environment.

They involve a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events and results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: we may not grow at the rates we historically have achieved or at all, even if our key metrics may imply future growth, including if we are unable to successfully execute on our growth initiatives and business strategies; if we fail to manage our growth effectively, our expenses could increase more than expected, our revenue may not increase proportionally or at all, and we may be unable to execute on our business strategy; our ability to recruit new clinicians and retain existing clinicians; if reimbursement rates paid by third-party payors are reduced or if third-party payors otherwise restrain our ability to obtain or deliver care to patients, our business could be harmed; we conduct business in a heavily regulated industry and if we fail to comply with these laws and government regulations, we could incur penalties or be required to make significant changes to our operations or experience adverse publicity, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition; we are dependent on our relationships with affiliated practices, which we do not own, to provide health care services, and our business would be harmed if those relationships were disrupted or if our arrangements with these entities became subject to legal challenges; we operate in a competitive industry, and if we are not able to compete effectively, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be harmed; the impact of health care reform legislation and other changes in the healthcare industry and in health care spending on us is currently unknown, but may harm our business; if our or our vendors’ security measures fail or are breached and unauthorized access to our employees’, patients’ or partners’ data is obtained, our systems may be perceived as insecure, we may incur significant liabilities, including through private litigation or regulatory action, our reputation may be harmed, and we could lose patients and partners; our business depends on our ability to effectively invest in, implement improvements to and properly maintain the uninterrupted operation and data integrity of our information technology and other business systems; actual or anticipated changes or fluctuations in our results of operations; our existing indebtedness could adversely affect our business and growth prospects; and other risks and uncertainties set forth under “Risk Factors” included in the reports we have filed or will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

    Non-GAAP Financial Information

    This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Center Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin. Tables showing the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measures are included at the end of this release. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the company’s operating performance, and may be helpful to securities analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties in understanding the company’s operating performance and prospects. These non-GAAP financial measures, as calculated, may not be comparable to companies in other industries or within the same industry with similarly titled measures of performance. Therefore, the company’s non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as net loss or loss from operations.

    Center Margin and Adjusted EBITDA anticipated for the third quarter of 2022 and full year 2022 are calculated in a manner consistent with the historical presentation of these measures at the end of this release. Reconciliation for the forward-looking third quarter of 2022 and full year 2022 Center Margin and Adjusted EBITDA guidance is not being provided, as LifeStance does not currently have sufficient data to accurately estimate the variables and individual adjustments for such reconciliation. As such, LifeStance management cannot estimate on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort the impact these variables and individual adjustments will have on its reported results.

    Management acknowledges that there are many items that impact a company’s reported results and the adjustments reflected in these non-GAAP measures are not intended to present all items that may have impacted these results.
