Agiliti Announces Financial Results for First Quarter 2021 and Provides Full Year 2021 Outlook

MINNEAPOLIS--()--Agiliti Inc. (NYSE: AGTI) (“Agiliti”), a nationwide provider of healthcare technology management and service solutions to the United States healthcare industry, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, and provided a preliminary outlook for the full year 2021.

Highlights

  • Revenue growth of 31 percent to $235 million
  • Net income of $9.6 million, up $22.2 million from Q1 2020, and diluted earnings per share of $0.09, up $0.22 per share from the prior year period
  • Adjusted EBITDA growth of 77 percent to $86 million, and adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.30, up $0.25 per share from the prior year period
  • Leverage ratio reduced to 3.3x following the close of its initial public offering
  • Full year 2021 guidance for revenue of $950-$975 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $275-$285 million

Our strong first quarter results reflect the continued execution of our growth strategy and the extraordinary work of our entire team at Agiliti,” said Tom Leonard, Chief Executive Officer. “The challenges of the past year helped raise awareness of the unique and essential nature of what we do, while also demonstrating the stable and predictable nature of our business model. Agiliti is a critical part of our national healthcare infrastructure, and as the events of 2020 highlight, the services we provide are always necessary and in high demand. This long term consistency gives us confidence in our 2021 outlook and beyond.”

Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021, was $235.2 million, representing a 31 percent increase from total revenue of $179.2 million for the same period of 2020.

Net income for the first quarter was $9.6 million, representing a $22.2 million increase compared to a net loss of $12.6 million for the same period of 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2021, was $86.2 million, a 77 percent increase from Adjusted EBITDA of $48.7 million for the same period of 2020.

Balance Sheet

Following the close of its initial public offering (“IPO”) on April 27, 2021, the Company used net proceeds from the offering to repay outstanding borrowings and related fees and expenses under the Company’s credit facilities. Post IPO proceeds and following its acquisition of Northfield Medical on March 19, 2021, it’s pro-forma leverage ratio approximates 3.3x.

Financial Guidance

For the full year 2021, the Company expects revenue to be in the range of $950 million to $975 million and Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $275 million to $285 million. Additionally, the Company expects capital expenditures for 2021 to be in the range of $65 million to $70 million.

With regard to the non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA guidance provided above, a reconciliation to GAAP net income has not been provided as the quantification of certain items included in the calculation of GAAP net income cannot be calculated or predicted at this time without unreasonable efforts. For example, the non-GAAP adjustment for stock-based compensation expense requires additional inputs such as number of shares granted and market price that are not currently ascertainable, and the non-GAAP adjustment for certain reserves and expenses depends on the timing and magnitude of these expenses and cannot be accurately forecasted. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on its future GAAP financial results.

_________________________
(1) Management and other expenses represent (a) the Advisory Services Fees, which were subsequently terminated in connection with the initial public offering and (b) employee related non-recurring expenses.
(2) Transaction costs represent costs associated with potential mergers and acquisitions and are primarily related to the Northfield acquisition.

EBITDA is defined as earnings attributable to Agiliti before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA excluding non-cash shared-based compensation expense, management fees and other non-recurring gains, expenses or losses, transaction costs and remeasurement of the tax receivable agreement. In addition to using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA internally as measures of operational performance, we disclose them externally to assist analysts, investors and lenders in their comparisons of operational performance, valuation and debt capacity across companies with differing capital, tax and legal structures. We believe the investment community frequently uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in the evaluation of similarly situated companies. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by the Company as a factor to determine the total amount of incentive compensation to be awarded to executive officers and other employees. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, however, are not measures of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income as measures of operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities or as measures of liquidity. Since EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures determined in accordance with GAAP and are thus susceptible to varying interpretations and calculations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent amounts of funds that are available for management’s discretionary use. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA presented may not be the same as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA calculations as defined in the First Lien Credit Facilities.
