VITAS

VITAS net revenue was $299 million in the first quarter of 2022, which is a decline of 5.3%, when compared to the prior-year period. This revenue decline is comprised primarily of a 4.1% decline in days-of-care partially offset by a geographically weighted average Medicare reimbursement rate increase of approximately 1.3%. Acuity mix shift had a net impact of reducing revenue approximately $7.1 million, or 2.2%, in the quarter when compared to the prior-year revenue and level-of-care mix. The combination of Medicare Cap and other contra revenue changes increased this revenue decline by approximately 30-basis points.

In the first quarter of 2022, VITAS accrued $2.5 million in Medicare Cap billing limitations. This compares to $1.5 million in Medicare Cap billing limitation in the first quarter of 2021.

Of VITAS’ 30 Medicare provider numbers, 28 provider numbers have a Medicare Cap cushion of 10% or greater and two provider numbers have an estimated fiscal 2022 Medicare Cap billing limitation liability.

Average revenue per patient per day in the first quarter of 2022 was $196.89, which, including acuity mix shift, is 104-basis points below the prior-year period. Reimbursement for routine home care and high acuity care averaged $172.33 and $1,010.49, respectively. During the quarter, high acuity days-of-care were 2.9% of total days of care, 58-basis points less than the prior-year quarter.

The first quarter 2022 gross margin, excluding Medicare Cap and increased costs directly related to operating during the pandemic, was 24.8%. This is a 50-basis point margin decline when compared to the first quarter of 2021.

Selling, general and administrative expense, excluding increased costs directly related to operating during the pandemic, was $22.5 million in the first quarter of 2022 and compares to $22.0 million incurred in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding Medicare Cap, totaled $52.5 million in the quarter, a decrease of 9.8%. Adjusted EBITDA margin in the quarter, excluding Medicare Cap, was 17.4%, which is 95-basis points below the prior-year period.

Roto-Rooter

Roto-Rooter generated quarterly revenue of $231 million in the first quarter of 2022, an increase of $19.8 million, or 9.4%, when compared to the prior-year quarter.

Roto-Rooter branch commercial revenue in the quarter totaled $54.4 million, an increase of $6.9 million, or 14.4%, over the prior year. This aggregate commercial revenue growth consisted of drain cleaning revenue increasing 17.0%, plumbing increasing 17.1%, water restoration increasing 8.6%, and excavation increasing 7.1%.

Roto-Rooter branch residential revenue in the quarter totaled $157 million, an increase of $10.5 million, or 7.2%, over the prior-year period. This aggregate residential revenue growth consisted of drain cleaning increasing 3.1%, plumbing expanding 14.6%, excavation increasing 5.9%, and water restoration increasing 7.7%.

Roto-Rooter’s gross margin in the quarter, excluding the impact from COVID, was 52.8%, an 87-basis point increase when compared to the first quarter of 2021. Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2022 totaled $65.9 million, an increase of 15.9%. The Adjusted EBITDA margin in the quarter was 28.5%, which is a 160-basis point improvement when compared to the prior year.

This type of care is focused on making the terminally ill patient's final days as comfortable and pain-free as possible.

Chemed operates in the residential and commercial plumbing and drain cleaning industry under the brand name Roto-Rooter.

Roto-Rooter also has licensed master franchisees in the republics of Indonesia and Singapore, and the Philippines.

This press release contains information about Chemed’s EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS, which are not measures derived in accordance with GAAP and which exclude components that are important to understanding Chemed’s financial performance. In reporting its operating results, Chemed provides EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS measures to help investors and others evaluate the Company’s operating results, compare its operating performance with that of similar companies that have different capital structures and evaluate its ability to meet its future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. Chemed’s management similarly uses EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS to assist it in evaluating the performance of the Company across fiscal periods and in assessing how its performance compares to its peer companies. These measures also help Chemed’s management to estimate the resources required to meet Chemed’s future financial obligations and expenditures. Chemed’s EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We calculated Adjusted EBITDA Margin by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by service revenue and sales. A reconciliation of Chemed’s net income to its EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS is presented in the tables following the text of this press release.
