Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On May 4, 2020, Hanger, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, the revolving lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as agent (the “Agent”), which amends the Credit Agreement, dated as of March 6, 2018, among the Company, the lenders from time to time party thereto and the Agent (the “Existing Credit Agreement”).

 

The Amendment revises certain provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) increase the applicable margin on LIBOR and base rate revolving loan borrowings by 0.25% per annum, (ii) establish a minimum LIBOR Rate of 1.0% per annum with respect to revolving loan borrowings, (iii) increase the maximum allowable leverage ratio for covenant purposes such that a maximum consolidated first lien net leverage ratio shall be up to 5.25 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2020, September 30, 2020, December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021; 5.00 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021; and 4.75 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2021 and the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter, (iv) liberalize the leverage ratio covenant by permitting the calculation of consolidated total debt for purposes of such covenant for the fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2020, September 30, 2020, December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021 to be computed net of all of the Company’s consolidated unrestricted cash and cash equivalents (instead of the maximum of $30.0 million of such netting that otherwise applies) and (v) permit the direct earnings contribution of certain lost revenues relating to the COVID-19 pandemic during the fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020 to be added to consolidated net income for purposes of the financial covenants subject to certain maximum Adjusted EBITDA amounts for each of these two periods.

 

In addition, during the period commencing on the effective date of the Amendment (the “First Amendment Effective Date”) and ending on the date the Company delivers a compliance certificate for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2021, the Amendment, among other things, (i) disregards, where the Company represents and warrants in connection with a borrowing of revolving loans under the Existing Credit Agreement that no material adverse effect has occurred since December 31, 2016, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the consolidated financial condition or business operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, as such impact occurred and was disclosed to the Agent prior to the First Amendment Effective Date, for purposes of determining whether a material adverse effect has occurred to the business, consolidated financial conditions, results of operations, assets or liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (ii) precludes the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to request incremental facilities and (iii) restricts the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to consummate acquisitions not financed solely with the proceeds of an offering of the Company’s equity or other capital contribution, except that certain acquisitions are permitted after September 30, 2020 so long as, on the date the definitive agreements for an acquisition are entered into, the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio does not exceed 5.00 to 1.00 and its liquidity is at least $40 million.

 

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

On May 7, 2020, the Company issued a press release announcing the Company’s financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2020. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

 

The information contained in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, is intended to be furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Hanger Reports First Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Responds to the COVID-19 Pandemic through Operational and Cost Reduction Actions

 

AUSTIN, Texas, May 7, 2020 - Hanger, Inc. (NYSE: HNGR), a leading provider of orthotic and prosthetic (O&P) patient care services and solutions, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020.

 

Financial Highlights for the First Quarter of 2020

 

Net revenue was $233.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $236.4 million for the same period in 2019, reflecting a decrease of 1.1 percent. Net same clinic revenue on a day-adjusted basis declined by 3.2 percent, due primarily to a decrease in patient volumes associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Net loss was $15.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $7.0 million for the same period in 2019. The loss from operations was $9.2 million for the quarter compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 2019.

 

Adjusted EBITDA was $5.3 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to $11.9 million for the same period in 2019, reflecting a decrease of $6.6 million. The decline in Adjusted EBITDA resulted primarily from lower revenues associated with decreases in patient volumes related to the COVID-19 pandemic which affected device deliveries in late March.

 

Income from operations and Adjusted EBITDA were also adversely affected in the quarter by an increase in bad debt expense of $1.9 million compared to the first quarter of 2019. This increase related to anticipated future write-offs of Products and Services customer accounts, driven primarily by declining credit conditions resulting from the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

GAAP loss per share was $0.42 for the first quarter of 2020, compared to a loss of $0.19 per share for the same period in 2019. Adjusted diluted loss per share was $0.28 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to a loss per share of $0.16 for the same period in 2019.

 

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company implemented operational and cost reduction measures in late March 2020, including decreases in componentry purchases, a reduction in exempt employee and officer salaries, the furloughing of employees, reductions of operating hours and days of clinics, and temporarily delaying the implementation of its supply chain and financial systems project.

 

Vinit Asar, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hanger, Inc., stated, "Our highest priorities during the COVID-19 pandemic are to protect the safety of our patients and employees, and to continue to provide our patients with uninterrupted access to care." Asar continued, "We entered the year with positive momentum and had high expectations for 2020 prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. In response, we have taken necessary, but painful actions in the near term to ensure our ability to manage through this unprecedented public health crisis."

Segment Results for Three Months Ended March 31, 2020

 

Patient Care Segment

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, Patient Care net revenue was $190.2 million, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 0.2 percent, compared to the same period in 2019. Total revenue for the segment includes $2.9 million of revenue from O&P clinics acquired in late 2018 and 2019, net of consolidations.

 

Net same clinic revenue on a day-adjusted basis declined by 3.2 percent during the quarter. This decrease was due to lower patient volumes in the last weeks of March primarily resulting from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Revenue from prosthetics declined 0.6 percent in the quarter and net revenue from orthotics declined 5.7 percent. Prosthetics comprised 52.4 percent of Patient Care segment net revenue during the first quarter of 2020 as compared to 51.1 percent during the same period in 2019.

 

Income from operations in the Patient Care segment was $11.5 million during the first quarter of 2020, a decline of $4.2 million compared to the $15.8 million reported in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA for the segment was $17.3 million, which reflected a $4.1 million or 19.0 percent decrease. Adjusted EBITDA margin in the segment totaled 9.1 percent compared to 11.2 percent during the first quarter of 2019. The decline in segment income and margin resulted primarily from lower revenue flow relating to reduced patient volumes. In addition, personnel costs increased $2.6 million compared to the prior year period and were primarily driven by the effect of acquisitions and annual merit increases.

 

Products & Services Segment

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, Products & Services net revenue totaled $43.6 million, a decline of 4.9 percent compared with the same period in 2019. Revenue from the distribution of O&P componentry declined by $1.5 million, or 4.5 percent, primarily from lower sales volumes of O&P componentry due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the final weeks of March, and to a lesser extent, the Company's decision to exit the distribution of certain low margin off-the-shelf orthotics into third-party channels. The Company anticipates the exit from these third-party distribution channels will lower distribution services revenue for the full year of 2020 by approximately $5 million, before any negative future impact from COVID-19. Therapeutic Solutions revenue declined $0.8 million, or 6.0 percent, due to client attrition.

Income from operations for the Products & Services segment decreased by $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. Adjusted EBITDA for the Products & Services segment totaled $5.0 million for the first quarter of 2020, a $1.8 million decrease compared with the same period of 2019. Products & Services segment margins and earnings were negatively impacted by an increase in other operating costs, specifically an increase in bad debt expense of $1.9 million when compared to the first quarter of 2019. This increase is attributable to higher expected write-offs of customer accounts due primarily to declining credit conditions associated with the anticipated economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Commencing on January 1, 2020, the Company adopted FASB ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments which changed the methodology used to calculate expected credit losses.

 

Corporate & Other

 

Expenses associated with corporate and other activities increased by $1.0 million to $22.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. The increase in Corporate & Other expenses primarily related to implementation costs incurred in connection with the Company's supply chain and financial systems project.

 

Excluding the effect of depreciation and amortization, excess third party professional fees, non-cash equity compensation expense and certain acquisition-related expenses, the net cost of corporate and other activities increased by $0.7 million to $17.1 million in the first quarter of 2020. The Company does not currently anticipate additional excess third party fees associated with financial remediation in future periods.

 

Net Income; Interest Expense

 

Interest expense totaled $8.3 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2020, a decline of $0.3 million from the prior year period.

 

For the three month period ended March 31, 2020, net loss was $15.7 million compared with a net loss of $7.0 million for the same period in 2019. GAAP diluted loss per share was $0.42, compared to a $0.19 loss per share in 2019. Adjusted diluted loss per share was $0.28 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to a $0.16 loss per share for the same period in 2019.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities, Liquidity and Indebtedness

 

Cash flows used in operating activities for the three months ending March 31, 2020 were $22.0 million compared to $32.8 million for the same period in 2019. The Company benefited from improved cash collections during the first quarter as its days sales outstanding decreased from 52 days as of March 31, 2019 to 50 days as of March 31, 2020. The Company normally experiences a consumption of operating cash flow during the first quarter due to the payment of annual bonuses and the seasonality of its business.

 

On March 31, 2020, the Company had liquidity of $131.8 million, comprised of $115.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, and $15.8 million in available borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility. This compares to total liquidity of $115.3 million as of March 31, 2019. As of May 6, 2020 the Company had liquidity of $142.1 million.

 

On May 4, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to its Credit Agreement with lenders under its revolving credit facility that provides for, among other things, an increase in the Company's maximum allowable Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio to 5.25 times trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA for the period beginning in the second quarter of 2020 through the first quarter of 2021, 5.0 times for the second and third quarters of 2021 and 4.75 times for all subsequent quarters through the maturity of the facility in March 2023.

 

Under the amendment to the Credit Agreement, the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA for debt compliance purposes provides for the add-back of the direct earnings contribution of lost revenue attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic during the second and third quarters of 2020 up to certain maximum amounts. The Company has provided additional information regarding the amendment in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 7, 2020.

 

Impact of COVID-19 on the Second Quarter and Remainder of 2020

 

Beginning in the last weeks of March 2020, the Company's business volumes began to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. As federal, state and local authorities implemented social distancing and suppression measures to respond to an increasing number of nationwide COVID-19 infections, the Company experienced a decrease in patient appointments at its patient care clinics and in its general business volumes in both of its segments. These adverse volume effects further expanded during April. During the month of April 2020, patient appointment volumes in our Patient Care clinics decreased by approximately 40 percent as compared with the same period in 2019. As of the end of April 2020, we had temporarily closed 27 patient care clinics and another 179 clinics were open for reduced hours or by appointment only. Billings for componentry delivered to independent providers of orthotics and prosthetics by the Company's distribution services business decreased by approximately 40 percent as well during the month of April 2020. Due to significant geographic, product mix and timing differences, there can be no assurance that these volumes or billing amounts will be reflective of the Company's results for the second quarter as a whole, and are solely provided for the purposes of giving context to the magnitude of the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business during April 2020.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, during the last week of March, the Company made certain changes to its operations, implemented a broad number of cost reduction measures, and temporarily delayed certain capital investment projects. The cost reduction and liquidity management strategies implemented by the Company have included, but not been limited to, reductions in componentry purchases, average salary reductions of 32 percent for exempt employees inclusive of officers, the voluntary and involuntary furloughing of employees, reductions in non-exempt employee hours, reductions in bonuses and commissions, the temporary reduction of operating hours and days of clinics, reductions in other operating expenses, deferral of the implementation of the supply chain and financial systems project, and the temporary delay of the Company's acquisitions of O&P providers.

 

While the Company cannot forecast with certainty the ultimate extent of the impacts from or the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, or the degree to which the cost mitigation and liquidity management strategies it has implemented will offset declines in its cash flows caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, it does currently believe that these measures, when accompanied if necessary by additional funding sources, if available, and further cost reduction actions, will enable it to maintain sufficient liquidity throughout the remainder of 2020 and subsequent periods.

Segment Information: Revenue, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

(Unaudited - in thousands)

 

EBITDA is defined as operating income before depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as operating income before certain charges, impairments of intangible assets, third-party professional fees in excess of normal amounts incurred in connection with our financial statement remediation, debt extinguishment costs, expenses associated with equity-based compensation, severance expenses, certain expenses incurred in connection with our acquisitions, and certain other charges.

 

We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as measures to assess the relative level of our indebtedness and our compliance with certain debt covenants which are based on these measures. Additionally, we utilize these measures to assess our operating and financial performance. We believe that these measures enhance a user’s understanding of normal operating income excluding certain charges, depreciation and amortization.

 

Neither EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA are measures of financial performance computed in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for operating income, net income, cash flows from operations, or other statement of operations or cash flow data prepared in conformity with GAAP, or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. In addition, the calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is susceptible to varying interpretations and calculations, and the amounts presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be indicative of historical operating results, and we do not intend these measures to be predictive of future results of operations.

Reconciliation of Net Loss and Loss Per Share to

Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Loss Per Share

(Unaudited - in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

 

Earnings Per Share (or “EPS”) is defined as net income divided by our diluted common shares during the applicable period. Adjusted EPS is defined as EPS adjusted for impairments of intangible assets, third-party professional fees in excess of normal amounts incurred in connection with our financial statement remediation, debt extinguishment costs, severance expenses, certain expenses incurred in connection with our acquisitions, and certain other charges.

 

We utilize Adjusted EPS to assess our operating and financial performance. We believe that this measure enhances a user’s understanding of normal operating results excluding certain charges.

 

Adjusted EPS is not a measure of financial performance computed in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for operating income, net income, cash flows from operations, or other statement of operations or cash flow data prepared in conformity with GAAP, or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. In addition, the calculation of Adjusted EPS is susceptible to varying interpretations and calculations, and the amounts presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EPS may not be indicative of historical operating results, and we do not intend these measures to be predictive of future results of operations.

Reconciliation of Net Loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

(Unaudited - in thousands)

 

EBITDA is defined as operating income before depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as operating income before certain charges, impairments of intangible assets, third-party professional fees in excess of normal amounts incurred in connection with our financial statement remediation, debt extinguishment costs, expenses associated with equity-based compensation, severance expenses, certain expenses incurred in connection with our acquisitions, and certain other charges.

 

We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as measures to assess the relative level of our indebtedness and our compliance with certain debt covenants which are based on these measures. Additionally, we utilize these measures to assess our operating and financial performance. We believe that these measures enhance a user’s understanding of normal operating income excluding certain charges, depreciation and amortization.

 

Neither EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA are measures of financial performance computed in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for operating income, net income, cash flows from operations, or other statement of operations or cash flow data prepared in conformity with GAAP, or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. In addition, the calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is susceptible to varying interpretations and calculations, and the amounts presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be indicative of historical operating results, and we do not intend these measures to be predictive of future results of operations.
