Chindex International, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2011 Financial Results

2011-05-10 05:39 1326

BETHESDA, Md., May 10, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Chindex International, Inc. (NASDAQ: CHDX), an American health care company providing health care services in China through the operations of United Family Healthcare, a network of private primary care hospitals and affiliated ambulatory clinics, today announced financial results for the three month period ended March 31, 2011.  

First Quarter 2011 Financial Highlights

  • Revenue from healthcare services increased 14% to $24.2 million from $21.2 million in the prior year period.
  • Loss from operations was $293,000.
  • Net loss was $1.2 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to net income of $0.52 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the prior year period.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $2.4 million. (See reconciliation table below.)
  • Development, pre-opening and start-up expense was $798,000 compared to $413,000 in the prior year period.

The Company is presenting Adjusted EBITDA beginning in the first quarter of 2011 to better illustrate ongoing operations. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and also excludes development, pre-opening and start-up expenses related to new and pending hospitals and clinics, equity in loss of unconsolidated affiliate, non-recurring charges for Chindex Medical Limited (CML) joint venture formation and effect of change in corporate cost allocations. The Company anticipates recurring development, pre-opening and start-up expense and notes that such expense is a basic element of the long term growth plan. Management believes that providing an Adjusted EBIDTA analysis to investors is a helpful metric to better illustrate the Company's operations, including development plans, and changes in presentation from historical periods. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA for business planning and other purposes. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, and therefore Chindex's Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income (loss), cash flows from operating activities and other measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant and necessary components to the operations of the Company's business, and, therefore, Adjusted EBITDA should only be used as a supplemental measure of operating performance.

Roberta Lipson, President and CEO of Chindex, commented, "First quarter financial performance reflects revenue growth tempered by the holiday season and the timing of our BJU expansion, as well as non-recurring expense items and increases in corporate expenses related to the joint venture formation. While the Beijing expansion is progressing slower than anticipated due to construction and regulatory timing, we are optimistic that we'll meet our phased opening plans through this year. We also anticipate steady inpatient and outpatient demand across our network."

First Quarter 2011 Financial Results

First quarter 2011 revenue from healthcare services increased 14% to $24.2 million from $21.2 million in the prior year period, reflecting growing inpatient and outpatient volume across the United Family Healthcare network. Outpatient services contributed 62% of revenue and inpatient services contributed 38% of revenue in the first quarter of 2011. This compares to 60% and 40%, respectively, in the year ago period. By service line, surgical services contributed 17.8%, OB/GYN contributed 17.8%, pediatrics contributed 7.6%, ancillary services contributed 33.4% and other services contributed 23.4% of revenue. This additional revenue data is provided in the tables below.

Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased to $24.5 million from $20.0 million in the prior year period. This reflects a higher than normal level of operating expense of approximately $400,000 due to certain non-recurring legal and professional expenses related primarily to the formation and start up operations of the CML joint venture.  In addition, development, pre-opening and start up expenses rose to $798,000 compared to $413,000 in the prior year period primarily as a result of expenses related to the Company's Beijing and Tianjin projects.

Operating expenses also included certain non-cash expenses including $1.2 million of non-cash stock compensation expense compared to $854,000 in the prior year and increased corporate cost allocations of approximately $325,000 due to the change in business organization when compared to the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2011 was approximately $2.4 million compared to $2.5 million in the prior year period.

Loss from operations was $293,000 compared to income from operations of $1.1 million in the prior year period.

The Company recorded a $787,000 provision for taxes in the quarter ended March 31, 2011 as compared to a provision for taxes of $791,000 in the prior year period. The provision for taxes this period reflects losses in entities for which the Company could not recognize a tax benefit.

Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was $1.2 million, or $0.08 per diluted share. This compares to net income of $515,000 or $0.04 per diluted share, in the prior year period. For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, weighted average diluted shares outstanding were 16.1 million.

As of March 31, 2011, the Company had $81.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and investments.

Chindex Medical Limited

The Chindex Medical Limited joint venture (CML) between FosunPharma and Chindex International began operations on January 1, 2011. The strategic venture merged the former Medical Products division of Chindex International and select medical device companies of FosunPharma. FosunPharma owns 51% and Chindex owns 49% of the CML joint venture. Beginning this quarter, Chindex has deconsolidated CML's operating results and recognizes its 49% interest in CML's net income using the equity method of accounting.

Accordingly, in the first quarter of 2011, other expenses include a $147,000 loss for Chindex's 49% share of the net loss of CML for the quarter.  On a stand-alone basis, the CML joint venture had a net loss of $37,000 for the quarter, which included a stock-based compensation expense charge of $279,000. In recognizing its 49% interest in the net income of CML for the quarter, Chindex also included additional expenses for amortization of certain fair value adjustments made in connection with the formation of the joint venture. CML results in the first quarter of 2011 reflected the weakest budgeted quarter for the joint venture. The Company expects improved results in future quarters which are anticipated to offset the stock-based compensation expense and recurring amortization charges.

The deconsolidation of CML's financial results include the following impacts on the Company's presentation of results:

  • Cost of goods sold, which previously reflected the Medical Products division costs, are no longer broken out on the income statement;
  • Depreciation and amortization expenses, previously consolidated within healthcare services costs, will now be presented as a separate operating expense item to provide greater clarity into the Company's hospital and clinic assets; and
  • General and administrative expenses, which previously included corporate expense and was allocated between both Healthcare Services and Medical Products divisions, is now included in other operating expenses and allocated to the Company's one division, Healthcare Services.

Conference Call

Management will host a conference call at 8:00 am ET on May 10, 2011, to discuss financial results. To participate in the conference call, U.S. domestic callers may dial 1-877-303-9231 and international callers may dial 1-760-666-3567 approximately 10 minutes before the conference call is scheduled to begin.
