PACS Group, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2024 Results

Conference Call and Webcast scheduled for tomorrow, May 14, 2024, at 4:00 pm ET.

FARMINGTON, Utah--()--PACS Group, Inc. (NYSE: PACS) (“PACS” or the “Company”), which together with its subsidiaries is one of the largest post-acute healthcare companies in the United States, announced operating results for the first quarter of 2024, reporting net income of $49.1 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $88.5 million and Adjusted EBITDAR of $152.5 million.

Highlights:

  • GAAP earnings per share for the quarter was $0.38, an increase of 31.0% over the prior year quarter.
  • GAAP net income was $49.1 million, an increase of 30.7% over the prior year quarter.
  • Consolidated GAAP revenue for the quarter was $934.7 million, an increase of 31.9% over the prior year quarter.
  • EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $96.3 million and $88.5 million, representing increases of 47.0% and 34.0%, respectively, over the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDAR for the quarter was $152.5 million.

Select KPIs:

  • Total Facilities occupancy was 91.1% during the first quarter of 2024. Ramping and Mature Facilities occupancy increased by 1.8% and 1.4%, respectively, over the prior year quarter.
  • Average Medicare and Medicaid daily rates increased 11.0% and 5.3%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the prior year quarter.
  • In the three months ended March 31, 2024 we added 10 operating facilities, including 1,334 and 174 skilled nursing and assisted living beds, respectively.

“We’re proud of our teams across the country and their continued dedication to the clinical excellence that drives our financial results. We look forward to carrying that momentum through 2024,” said Jason Murray, PACS’s Chief Executive Officer. “We had a very strong quarter, highlighted by 158 of our facilities having a 4 or 5 star CMS Quality Measures rating. We believe this is a key driver of our revenue growth year over year of 31.9% or $226.3 million on a same quarter basis.”

“Our revenue growth was also driven in significant part by our adding 5,194 beds to the company over the last year, leading to a 35.3% increase in patient days year-over-year. Additionally, our occupancy remained strong across all facilities — 91.1% in the first quarter of 2024,” said Derick Apt, PACS’s Chief Financial Officer. “We're also proud of our teams for adding 68 facilities and 12 real estate acquisitions over the last 15 months, bringing total operated facilities to 218 and wholly owned properties to 35.”

Business Outlook

Based on information available as of May 13, 2024, PACS is providing the following guidance for full year 2024:

  • Revenue of $3.65 billion to $3.75 billion
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $351 million to $361 million

PACS's growing portfolio consists of 218 healthcare operations, 16 of which also include senior living operations, across 9 states. PACS owns 47 real estate assets with purchase options on an additional 27 real estate assets, including both wholly owned and owned in a joint venture. Apt noted that PACS’s overall strategy will continue to include both leasing and acquiring real estate and that the Company is actively considering opportunities to acquire both performing and underperforming operations in several states.

A discussion of the Company's use of non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is set forth below. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA guidance to Net Income on a forward-looking basis cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts, as the Company is unable to provide reconciling information with respect to provision for income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, acquisition related costs, gain on lease termination, and other adjustment items all of which are adjustments to Adjusted EBITDA. Further discussion about the Company's results is contained in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2024, which is expected to be filed with the SEC today and can be viewed on the Company’s website at https://IR.pacs.com.

Key Skilled Services Metrics

We monitor the below key skilled services metrics across all of our facilities and by Mature facilities, Ramping facilities, and New facilities. Mature facilities are defined as facilities purchased more than 36 months prior to a respective measurement date. Ramping facilities are defined as facilities purchased within 18 to 36 months prior to a respective measurement date. New facilities are defined as facilities purchased less than 18 months prior to a respective measurement date.

  • Skilled nursing services revenue — Skilled nursing services revenue reflects the portion of patient and resident service revenue generated from all patients in skilled nursing facilities, excluding revenue generated from our assisted and independent living services. 
  • Skilled mix  — We measure both revenue and nursing patient days by payor. Medicare and managed care patients, whom we refer to as high acuity patients, typically require a higher level of skilled nursing care. As a result, Medicare and managed care reimbursement rates are typically higher than those from other payors. In most states, Medicaid reimbursement rates are generally the lowest of all payor types. Changes in the payor mix can significantly affect our revenue and profitability. To monitor this performance, we evaluate two different measures of skilled mix: 
  • Skilled mix by revenue — Skilled mix by revenue represents the portion of routine revenue generated from treating high acuity Medicare and managed care patients. Routine revenue refers to skilled nursing services revenue generated by contracted daily rates charged for skilled nursing services. Services provided outside of routine contractual agreements are recorded separately as ancillary revenue, including Medicare Part B therapy services, and are not routine revenue. The inclusion of therapy and other ancillary treatments in the contracted daily rate varies by payor source and by contract. Revenue associated with calculating skilled mix is based on contractually agreed-upon amounts or rates, excluding the estimates of variable consideration under the revenue recognition standard, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606.
  • Skilled mix by nursing patient days — Skilled mix by nursing patient days represents the number of days our high acuity Medicare and managed care patients receive skilled nursing services at skilled nursing facilities as a percentage of the total number of days that patients from all payor sources receive skilled nursing services at skilled nursing facilities for any given period.
  • Occupancy — The total number of patients occupying a bed in a skilled nursing facility as a percentage of the beds in such facility that are available for occupancy during the period.
  • Number of facilities — The total number of skilled nursing facilities that we operate. 
  • Number of operational beds — The total number of operational beds associated with the skilled nursing facilities that we own.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results provided throughout that are determined in accordance with GAAP, we also present the following non-GAAP financial measures: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR (collectively, Non-GAAP Financial Measures). EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are performance measures. Adjusted EBITDAR is a valuation measure. These Non-GAAP Financial Measures have no standardized meaning defined by GAAP, and therefore have limitations as analytical tools, and they should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported in accordance with GAAP. You should review the reconciliation of net income to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures in the table below, together with our audited combined/consolidated financial statements and the related notes in their entirety, and should not rely on any single financial measure. Additionally, other companies may define these or similar Non-GAAP Financial Measures with the same or similar names differently, and because these Non-GAAP Financial Measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures to those of other companies.

Performance Measures

We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to facilitate internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis, as well as for business planning and forecasting purposes. In addition, we believe the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors, analysts and other interested parties in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our ongoing operating performance.

EBITDA – We calculate EBITDA as net income, adjusted for net losses attributable to noncontrolling interest, before: other expense, net; provision for income taxes; and depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA – We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA further adjusted for non-core business items, which for the reported periods includes, to the extent applicable, costs incurred to acquire operations that are not capitalizable, gains on lease termination, and certain one-time expenses that are not representative of our underlying operating performance. Costs related to acquisitions include costs related to our acquisition of SNF facilities and providers, including related costs such as legal fees, financial and tax due diligence, consulting and escrow fees.

Valuation Measure

We use Adjusted EBITDAR as a measure to determine the value of prospective acquisitions and to assess the enterprise value of our business without regard to differences in capital structures and leasing arrangements. In addition, we believe that Adjusted EBITDAR is also a commonly used measure by investors, analysts and other interested parties to compare the enterprise value of different companies in the healthcare industry without regard to differences in capital structures and leasing arrangements, particularly for companies with operating and finance leases. For example, finance lease expenditures are recorded in depreciation and interest and are therefore removed from Adjusted EBITDA, whereas operating lease expenditures are recorded in rent expense and are therefore retained in Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDAR is a financial valuation measure that is not specified in GAAP, and is not displayed as a performance measure as it excludes rent expense, which is a normal and recurring cash operating expense, and is therefore presented only for the current period. While we believe that Adjusted EBITDAR provides useful insight regarding our underlying operations, excluding the impact of our operating leases, we must still incur cash operating expenses related to our operating leases and rent and such expenses are necessary to operate our leased operations. As a result, Adjusted EBITDAR may understate the extent of our cash operating expenses for the respective period relative to our actual cash needs to operate our leased operations and business.

Adjusted EBITDAR – We calculate Adjusted EBITDAR as Adjusted EBITDA less rent-cost of services.
