Debbie Osteen, Chief Executive Officer of Acadia Healthcare Company, remarked, “We are pleased with our financial and operating results for the fourth quarter of 2021, completing another year of strong growth for Acadia. These results reflect robust demand for our behavioral health services. While we faced challenges late in the fourth quarter of 2021 and early in the first quarter of 2022 related to the surge of the Omicron variant of COVID-19, we continued to see solid year-over-year volume growth and strong operating trends. Our facility and corporate leadership teams have continued to manage labor costs while navigating a tight labor market. We are fortunate to have an experienced and dedicated team of employees and clinicians across our operations who have continued to provide quality patient care for those seeking treatment for mental health and substance use issues. Our strong results reflect our ability to effectively manage our operations and execute our growth strategy despite a challenging environment.

Strategic Investments for Long-Term Growth

We had a very active fourth quarter with respect to key strategic growth initiatives across our service lines. We announced three new joint venture partnerships, the acquisition of real estate to open new facilities in the Chicago, Illinois, market and the acquisition of CenterPointe Behavioral Health System located in Missouri. We also added 13 beds to our existing facilities, bringing our total to 295 bed additions to existing facilities in 2021.

An important growth objective for Acadia is to identify underserved markets for behavioral health treatment and develop wholly owned de novo facilities that help fill this gap. In line with this strategy, during the fourth quarter, we completed the acquisition of the real estate for three currently non-operational facilities, including one adult hospital, one children’s hospital and an outpatient facility, all located on the north side of Chicago. Prior to reopening, Acadia will make infrastructure investments to improve the behavioral health facilities, which will operate as Montrose Behavioral Health Hospital. This is an exciting opportunity for Acadia to enter the greater Chicago area and address the significant need for behavioral health services for adults and children. The 60-bed children’s hospital and outpatient facility are expected to open in the summer of 2022 and the 101-bed adult hospital is slated to begin operations in 2023. In addition to the Chicago facilities, we also expect to open an additional de novo facility in Indio, California, in late 2022.

We also continued to expand our network of comprehensive treatment centers (CTCs), which are designed to address the growing and critical need for medication-assisted treatment for patients dealing with opioid use disorder. During the fourth quarter we opened five new CTCs, bringing the total number to ten CTCs opened in 2021. With the growing recognition and acceptance of the critical need for quality addiction treatment, we plan to open an additional six to ten CTCs in 2022 to address this demand.

As a leading provider of behavioral health services, we are especially proud to work with leading health systems and hospitals across the country who are looking for a strong partner to help expand behavioral health treatment options in their respective communities. We announced three new joint venture partnerships during the fourth quarter, expanding our market reach to 16 partnerships. Our latest partners include Fairview Health Services, one of Minnesota’s leading health systems, to build a new hospital with 144 beds in the Twin Cities area; SCL Health, a premier healthcare system in Colorado, for a new 144-bed facility in the Denver area; and Orlando Health, one of Central Florida’s premier health systems, to expand inpatient and outpatient programs and community outreach. In 2022, we expect to open new facilities with Covenant Health in Knoxville, Tennessee, and Lutheran Health Network in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. We will continue to seek partnerships with premier health systems who share our commitment to expand access to quality care and treatment.

We also have continued to expand our operations in high growth markets through select acquisitions that meet the criteria of our disciplined capital allocation framework. On December 31, 2021, we completed the acquisition of CenterPointe Behavioral Health System, the largest dedicated behavioral healthcare provider in the state of Missouri for cash consideration of $139 million. The acquired assets consist of four inpatient hospitals with 260 acute care beds and 46 specialty beds for substance use and ten outpatient locations. This transaction is commensurate with our growth strategy, and we look forward to pursuing additional acquisition opportunities for Acadia in the year ahead,” added Osteen.

Cash and Liquidity

Acadia’s balance sheet remains strong with ample liquidity and capital to support its growth strategy. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $133.8 million in cash and cash equivalents. The Company funded the CenterPointe acquisition through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings of $70 million under the Company’s revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2021, Acadia had $430 million available under its $600 million revolving credit facility, and its net leverage ratio was approximately 2.4x.

During the fourth quarter, the Company continued its repayment of amounts received pursuant to the Medicare Accelerated and Advanced Payment Program under the CARES Act. Of the $45 million of advanced payments received in 2020, the Company repaid $25 million in 2021, including payments of $8.2 million in the fourth quarter. The Company will continue to repay the remaining balance throughout 2022. The Company also repaid half of the approximately $39 million of 2020 payroll tax deferrals in September 2021 and will repay the remaining portion in the second half of 2022.

(4) For the three months and year ended December 31, 2020, Adjusted income attributable to Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. per diluted share includes Adjusted income from discontinued operations before income taxes and is not directly comparable to Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. per diluted share for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021. Interest expense, which has been significantly reduced following debt repayments in the first quarter of 2021, is recorded in income from continuing operations and not allocated to discontinued operations because such allocation would not be meaningful. Therefore, 2020 results reflect consolidated results inclusive of discontinued operations, and 2021 results reflect only continuing operations.

The non-GAAP financial measures presented herein are supplemental measures of our performance and are not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The non-GAAP financial measures presented herein are not measures of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as measures of our liquidity. Our measurements of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. We have included information concerning the non-GAAP financial measures in this press release because we believe that such information is used by certain investors as measures of a company’s historical performance. We believe these measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of issuers of equity securities, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures when reporting their results. Because the non-GAAP financial measures are not measurements determined in accordance with GAAP and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, the non-GAAP financial measures, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Our presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.
