36% Increase in Revenues and Accelerating Enrollments

Recent Launches Lead to 400% increase in Outreach Pool of Eligible Members

Company to Host Conference Call at 4:30 PM ET on Tuesday, August 15, 2017

LOS ANGELES--()--Catasys, Inc. (NASDAQ:CATS), a provider of proprietary predictive analytics and integrated treatment solutions to health plans, today reported its financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2017. The Company provides big data based analytics and predictive modeling driven behavioral healthcare services to health plans and their members through its OnTrak™ solution.

Second Quarter 2017 and Recent Business Highlights

  • May 2017 - Began enrolling members from largest Medicaid plan in Texas.
  • July 2017 - Achieved considerable improvement in eligible members across 8 states with leading national health plan, and subsequently expanded the program to include anxiety.
  • August 2017 - Launched enrollment with the second largest Blue Cross Blue Shield health insurance plan.
  • The Company has now contracted with 5 of the top 8 major health plans in the United States and expects to sign an additional 2 in the second half of 2017.
  • Catasys’ outreach pool of eligible members has increased by approximately 4X, or 400%, from December 2016 to September 2017 to 24,000 individuals from 6,000 individuals in December 2016. This does not include the previously announced, but not as of yet launch with the USA’s largest health plan. We expect that to occur in September or early October. Catasys generally enrolls in excess of 20% of those that it outreaches to, and receives an average $8,500 per enrolled member.

Management Commentary

Mr. Rick Anderson, President and COO of Catasys, stated, “We continue to see substantial improvements in enrollment due to the recent acceleration of launches in the past two months. Higher enrollment during the second quarter of 2017 led to a 36% increase in revenue and a 25% increase in billings (our primary means of defining Catasys’ growth). During the second quarter of 2017 we had three launches. This has helped to accelerate the number of enrolled members in our program and greatly enhanced the pool of potential enrollees. It has historically taken 12 months to reach full enrollment rate of 20% upon the launching of a program, but both our enrollment and engagement capability have continued to improve. We are cautiously optimistic that we can both significantly increase this enrollment rate and shorten the time to full enrollment, which will have a significant impact on our business model.”

Mr. Christopher Shirley, Chief Financial Officer, stated, “The second quarter was a milestone period for Catasys in the capital markets, as we completed a $16.5 million capital raise in April 2017, converted $6.7 million in debt and deferred compensation into shares of common stock, and uplisted to NASDAQ. This additional capital has substantially improved our balance sheet and will help to fund our anticipated growth in the coming quarters. During the second quarter we reported net income of $13.9 million, with the gain coming from non-cash changes in fair value of derivatives. Following the capital raise, we anticipate quarter-to-quarter fluctuations from these changes being considerably less material. We are pleased to have a much cleaner capital structure going forward, which we expect will be fully recognized in the third quarter of 2017.”

Outlook for 2017

Mr. Terren Peizer, Chairman and CEO of Catasys, stated, “We are pleased with the current adoption by major health plans of Catasys’ unique ability to identify and enroll an underserved and treatment avoidant patient population, as we have successfully signed many of the major insurers across the United States. In the second half of 2017, our primary focus will be to launch and rapidly enroll patients into our program and consequently drive top-line growth for Catasys. Over the past few months, we have seen these enrollments accelerating in different states and through different insurer relationships. We have created a scalable company that can leverage these numerous avenues for potential growth and drive profitability for investors as enrollment grows. We have successfully signed 5 of the 8 largest health plans in the country, and feel confident that we will sign an additional two in the second half of 2017. We are in the strongest financial position in the Company’s history and are solely focused on generating immediate and sustainable growth.”

Second Quarter and Six Month Financial and Operating Review

Revenues

  • Revenue was $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2017, an increase of 36.1% compared to $1.2 million during the same period in 2016. This was due to an 11% net increase in the number of enrolled patients in OnTrak programs compared to the prior year period.
  • Revenue was $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of 78.7% compared to $2.0 million during the same period in 2016.

Billings

  • Catasys’ billings during the period increased 25% to $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2017 from $1.7 million in the prior year period. Catasys contracts are generally designed to provide cash fees on a monthly basis based on enrolled members. To the extent its contracts may include a minimum performance guarantee, the Company reserves a portion of the monthly fees that may be at risk until the performance measurement period is completed.
  • Billings for the six months ended June 30, 2017 increased 43% to $4.3 million, compared to $3.0 million in the prior year period.

Deferred Revenue

  • When fees are received in advance, deferred revenue is recognized over the period the member is enrolled. Any fees subject to performance guarantees are deferred until such time as those performance standards are met; generally calculated annually or semi-annually. Catasys has historically been able to record its deferred revenue as actual revenue during the course of the business cycle, except for limited cases where members terminated from the program early.
  • Deferred revenues were $2.4 million at June 30, 2017, an increase of 55.3% from $1.5 million at December 31, 2016.

Operating Expenses

  • Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2017 were $4.3 million, compared to $3.3 million in the prior year period. This increase was mainly due to higher general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the prior year period, but declined as an overall percentage to revenues.
  • Operating expenses in the first half of 2017 were $8.4 million, compared to $6.5 million in the prior year period.

Net Income (Loss)

  • For the second quarter of 2017, net income was $13.9 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $4.7 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, in the prior year period. The difference primarily relates to the increase in the change in fair value of warrant liability and derivative liability. Catasys expects changes in fair value to have a considerable lessened impact on its financial results beginning in the third quarter of 2017.
  • For the first half of 2017, net loss was $7.8 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, compared to $9.0 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, in the prior year period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company makes reference in this press release to billings and total cash receipts, non-GAAP financial measures, as supplemental measures to review and assess our operating performance. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with US GAAP. We define billings as the amount invoiced in a particular period pursuant to existing contracts based on enrolled members. We define total cash receipts as revenues plus changes in deferred revenue. We use billings and total cash receipts as measures of operating performance to assist in comparing performance from period to period on a consistent basis.

We believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors’ assessment of our operating performance from period to period and from company to company by backing out potential differences caused by variations in the applicable performance requirements contained in the relevant contracts, which may be different from other companies in our industry.

Billings and total cash receipts are not defined under GAAP and is not presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool, and when assessing our operating performance, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for revenue prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation from these non-GAAP financial measures to the GAAP financial measures is included at the end of this release.
