Second Quarter Results

Consolidated revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011 rose 20% to $1.3 billion. The Company reported a loss from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2011 totaling $6.1 million or $0.14 per diluted share compared to income of $16.1 million or $0.41 per diluted share in the second quarter last year.

Excluding transaction-related charges, the Company’s income from continuing operations grew 40% to $23.4 million or $0.53 per diluted share from $16.7 million or $0.42 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2010.

Management Commentary

Paul J. Diaz, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, remarked, “Our second quarter core operating results were outstanding, with our continued focus on quality, customer service and operating efficiencies leading the way to volume and earnings growth across the Company. We are pleased to report significant core earnings growth in the quarter while also completing the RehabCare acquisition and focusing on its transition.”

Commenting on the RehabCare acquisition, Mr. Diaz further noted, “Having closed the acquisition one month in advance of our expectations, our support center and operating teams successfully completed all of the initial integration activities with minimal disruption to the business units. We have now completed the financial information systems conversions and will begin the roll-out of our hospital clinical information systems in the former RehabCare hospitals. These critical infrastructure investments are the foundation for our operating synergies and the ongoing benefits of our expanded size and scale. Based upon our initial success in this area, we now believe that we will realize approximately $55 million of cost synergies in 2012 and $65 million in cost synergies in 2013, significantly ahead of our previous estimates.”

Mr. Diaz commented on the Company’s ongoing development activities, “As we recently announced, we continue to advance our cluster market strategy through the selective development of our different businesses to meet the needs of our patients, physicians, managed care plans and other healthcare partners in our key markets. The new projects in Charleston, Dayton, Indianapolis, Seattle and Dallas will provide ongoing growth in our long-term acute care hospital, sub-acute and skilled nursing and rehabilitation businesses. In addition, our two new inpatient rehabilitation hospital projects in Austin and Houston will complement our existing operations in both of these markets. These exciting new projects are expected to be accretive to earnings beginning in 2013.”

Finally, Mr. Diaz discussed the Company’s improved liquidity, “Our operating cash flows continue to be a source of financial strength for Kindred as we continue to pursue our cluster market development strategy and reduce our leverage. Excluding transaction-related payments, our operating cash flows in the first half of 2011 increased 42% to $120 million from last year’s adjusted $85 million.”

Recent Regulatory Changes

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) recently issued final rules that will impact the Company’s businesses effective October 1, 2011.

On July 29, 2011, CMS issued final rules which, among other things, will reduce Medicare payments to nursing centers by 11.1% and change the reimbursement for the provision of group rehabilitation therapy services to Medicare beneficiaries. While the Company had anticipated a negative annual impact of approximately $30 million to $40 million for the budget neutrality adjustments, management now estimates that these rules could reduce the Company’s annual revenues by approximately $85 million to $95 million in its nursing center business and approximately $10 million to $15 million in its rehabilitation therapy business. In addition, the Company believes that other technical changes required under the final rules may increase rehabilitation therapy costs by approximately $10 million to $15 million on an annual basis.

In addition, CMS also issued final rules that provided payment increases to inpatient rehabilitation facilities (“IRFs”) and long-term acute care (“LTAC”) hospitals. Among other things, CMS indicated that Medicare payment rates for IRFs are expected to increase at an annual rate of 2.2% and LTAC hospital payment rates are expected to rise 2.5%. Based upon its review of the final rules, management believes that the Medicare rate increase for the Company’s LTAC hospitals will likely approximate 0.7% in 2012.

Mr. Diaz commented, “We recognize that CMS has a responsibility to achieve budget neutrality under the new RUGs IV reimbursement system. But the same rush to implementation that led to the current overpayments will now likely lead to an overcorrection that will negatively impact the interests of patients, residents, staff and job creation. We will continue to work with policymakers to re-consider a phase-in of the parity adjustment and the impact of the rehabilitation therapy and assessment process changes to maintain the stability of skilled nursing providers, the quality of their services and the accurate achievement of budget neutrality.”

Earnings Guidance – Continuing Operations

Following the completion of the RehabCare acquisition, the Company resumed its prior practice of providing earnings guidance. The Company indicated that the earnings guidance for continuing operations reflects the anticipated impact of the previously discussed final rules recently issued by CMS related to payment rates for nursing centers, LTAC hospitals, IRFs and the Company’s rehabilitation therapy business, all of which will be effective on October 1, 2011. The earnings guidance provided by the Company excludes the effect of (i) any transaction-related charges that have been recorded in prior periods or that may be incurred in the future, (ii) any other reimbursement changes, (iii) any material acquisitions or divestitures, or (iv) any repurchases of common stock.

The Company expects consolidated revenues for 2011 to approximate $5.6 billion. Operating income, or earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent, is expected to range from $775 million to $780 million. Rent expense is expected to approximate $400 million, while depreciation and amortization should approximate $164 million. Net interest expense is expected to approximate $69 million. The Company expects to report income from continuing operations for 2011 between $89 million to $93 million or $1.80 to $1.90 per diluted share (based upon diluted shares of 47 million).

Excluding transaction-related charges, the Company has reported diluted earnings per common share of $1.17 in the first half of 2011.

The Company also provided its earnings outlook for the third quarter of 2011, estimating diluted earnings per share between $0.25 and $0.30 (based upon diluted shares of 52 million). Management’s estimated third quarter earnings range includes the expected impact of a $3 million favorable income tax adjustment ($0.05 per diluted share).

In addition, the Company provided its initial preliminary earnings guidance for fiscal 2012. The Company expects consolidated revenues for 2012 to approximate $6.4 billion. Operating income is expected to range from $911 million to $928 million. Rent expense is expected to approximate $445 million, while depreciation and amortization should approximate $200 million. Net interest expense is expected to approximate $110 million. The Company expects to report income from continuing operations for 2012 between $93 million to $104 million or $1.65 to $1.85 per diluted share (based upon diluted shares of 53 million).

Mr. Diaz noted, “When we announced the RehabCare acquisition in February, we provided to investors a pro forma 2011 earnings per diluted share range of $1.95 to $2.15 assuming that the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2011 and we realized $25 million in pretax operating synergies. While we will operate the combined company for only seven months this year, we are pleased to provide core 2011 earnings guidance at a level that is close to our assumed full-year pro forma estimate.”

Mr. Diaz continued, “Our 2012 preliminary earnings guidance reflects our significant outperformance in the first half of this year, our continuing efforts to grow the Company organically as well as our enhanced view of the operating synergies and lower than expected financing costs associated with the RehabCare acquisition. Despite the significant negative impact of the recently issued CMS rules for nursing centers and rehabilitation therapy, we will continue to find new growth opportunities that are available to us as a result of our diverse lines of business and larger size and scale as we look forward to 2012 and beyond.”

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements regarding Kindred’s expected future financial position, results of operations, cash flows, financing plans, business strategy, budgets, capital expenditures, competitive positions, growth opportunities, plans and objectives of management and statements containing the words such as “anticipate,” “approximate,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “could,” “should,” “will,” “intend,” “may” and other similar expressions, are forward-looking statements.

Such forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, and stockholders and other potential investors must recognize that actual results may differ materially from Kindred’s expectations as a result of a variety of factors, including, without limitation, those discussed below. Such forward-looking statements are based upon management’s current expectations and include known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which Kindred is unable to predict or control, that may cause Kindred’s actual results or performance to differ materially from any future results or performance expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors discussed below and detailed from time to time in Kindred’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In addition to the factors set forth above, other factors that may affect Kindred’s plans or results include, without limitation, (a) the impact of a final rule issued by CMS on July 29, 2011 providing for a 11.1% reduction in Medicare reimbursement to nursing centers as well as changes in payments for the provision of group rehabilitation therapy services, (b) other potential reimbursement changes resulting from the Budget Control Act of 2011, (c) Kindred’s ability to integrate the operations of the acquired hospitals and rehabilitation services operations and realize the anticipated revenues, economies of scale, cost synergies and productivity gains in connection with the RehabCare acquisition and any other acquisitions that may be undertaken during 2011, as and when planned, including the potential for unanticipated issues, expenses and liabilities associated with those acquisitions, (d) the potential for diversion of management time and resources in seeking to integrate RehabCare’s operations, (e) the potential failure to retain key employees of RehabCare, (f) the impact of Kindred’s significantly increased levels of indebtedness as a result of the RehabCare acquisition on Kindred’s funding costs, operating flexibility and ability to fund ongoing operations, development capital expenditures or other strategic acquisitions with additional borrowings, particularly in light of ongoing volatility in the credit and capital markets, (g) the impact of healthcare reform, which will initiate significant reforms to the United States healthcare system, including potential material changes to the delivery of healthcare services and the reimbursement paid for such services by the government or other third party payors. Healthcare reform will impact each of Kindred’s businesses in some manner. Due to the substantial regulatory changes that will need to be implemented by CMS and others, and the numerous processes required to implement these reforms, Kindred cannot predict which healthcare initiatives will be implemented at the federal or state level, the timing of any such reforms, or the effect such reforms or any other future legislation or regulation will have on Kindred’s business, financial position, results of operations and liquidity, (h) changes in the reimbursement rates or the methods or timing of payment from third party payors, including commercial payors and the Medicare and Medicaid programs, changes arising from and related to the Medicare prospective payment system for LTAC hospitals, including potential changes in the Medicare payment rules, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003, and changes in Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements for nursing centers, and the expiration of the Medicare Part B therapy cap exception process, (i) the effects of additional legislative changes and government regulations, interpretation of regulations and changes in the nature and enforcement of regulations governing the healthcare industry, (j) Kindred’s ability to successfully pursue its development activities, including through acquisitions, and successfully integrate new operations, including the realization of anticipated revenues, economies of scale, cost savings and productivity gains associated with such operations, (k) the impact of the Medicare, Medicaid and SCHIP Extension Act of 2007 (the “SCHIP Extension Act”), including the ability of Kindred’s hospitals to adjust to potential LTAC certification, medical necessity reviews and the moratorium on future hospital development, (l) the impact of the expiration of several moratoriums under the SCHIP Extension Act which could impact the short stay rules, the budget neutrality adjustment as well as implement the policy known as the “25 Percent Rule,” which would limit certain patient admissions, (m) failure of Kindred’s facilities to meet applicable licensure and certification requirements, (n) the further consolidation and cost containment efforts of managed care organizations and other third party payors, (o) Kindred’s ability to meet its rental and debt service obligations, (p) Kindred’s ability to operate pursuant to the terms of its debt obligations and its master lease agreements with Ventas, Inc. (NYSE:VTR), (q) the condition of the financial markets, including volatility and weakness in the equity, capital and credit markets, which could limit the availability and terms of debt and equity financing sources to fund the requirements of Kindred’s businesses, or which could negatively impact Kindred’s investment portfolio, (r) national and regional economic, financial, business and political conditions, including their effect on the availability and cost of labor, credit, materials and other services, (s) Kindred’s ability to control costs, particularly labor and employee benefit costs, (t) increased operating costs due to shortages in qualified nurses, therapists and other healthcare personnel, (u) Kindred’s ability to attract and retain key executives and other healthcare personnel, (v) the increase in the costs of defending and insuring against alleged professional liability and other claims and the ability to predict the estimated costs related to such claims, including the impact of differences in actuarial assumptions and estimates compared to eventual outcomes, (w) Kindred’s ability to successfully reduce (by divestiture of operations or otherwise) its exposure to professional liability and other claims, (x) Kindred’s ability to successfully dispose of unprofitable facilities, (y) events or circumstances which could result in the impairment of an asset or other charges, (z) changes in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or practices, and changes in tax accounting or tax laws (or authoritative interpretations relating to any of these matters), and (aa) Kindred’s ability to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting. Many of these factors are beyond Kindred’s control. Kindred cautions investors that any forward-looking statements made by Kindred are not guarantees of future performance. Kindred disclaims any obligation to update any such factors or to announce publicly the results of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements to reflect future events or developments.

In addition to the results provided in accordance with GAAP, the Company has provided non-GAAP measurements which present operating results and cash flows from operations for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 before certain charges or on a core basis. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measurements to the GAAP measurements is included in this press release.

As noted above, the Company’s earnings release includes a financial measure referred to as operating income, or earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent. The Company’s management uses operating income as a meaningful measure of operational performance in addition to other measures. The Company uses operating income to assess the relative performance of its operating divisions as well as the employees that operate these businesses. In addition, the Company believes this measurement is important because securities analysts and investors use this measurement to compare the Company’s performance to other companies in the healthcare industry. The Company believes that income from continuing operations is the most comparable GAAP measure. Readers of the Company’s financial information should consider income from continuing operations as an important measure of the Company’s financial performance because it provides the most complete measure of its performance. Operating income should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures based upon GAAP as an indicator of operating performance. A reconciliation of operating income to income from continuing operations provided in the Condensed Business Segment Data is included in this press release.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measurements to GAAP Results
(Unaudited)
(In thousands, except per share amounts and statistics)
 

In addition to the results provided in accordance with GAAP, the Company has provided a non-GAAP measurement which presents operating results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 before certain transaction-related charges or on a core basis. The charges that were excluded from core operating results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011 relate to transaction, financing and severance costs. The charges that were excluded from core operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010 relate to transaction costs. The charges that are excluded from core operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2010 relate to transaction, severance and retirement costs.

 

The income tax benefit associated with the excluded charges was calculated using an effective income tax rate of 36.7% for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011 and an effective income tax rate of 38.5% for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010. Certain of the excluded charges for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011 are not deductible for income tax purposes thus resulting in a lower effective income tax rate than the comparable prior year periods.

 

This non-GAAP measurement is not intended to replace the presentation of the Company's financial results in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that the presentation of core operating results provides additional information to investors to facilitate the comparison between periods by excluding certain charges for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 that the Company believes are not representative of its ongoing operations due to the materiality and nature of the charges. The Company's core operating results also represent a key performance measure for the purposes of evaluating performance internally.

In addition to the results provided in accordance with GAAP, the Company has provided a non-GAAP measurement which presents operating cash flows for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 excluding certain payments, net of income tax benefit, or on an adjusted basis. The payments that were excluded from adjusted operating cash flows for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011 relate to financing, transaction and severance costs, net of income tax benefit. The payments that were excluded from adjusted operating cash flows for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010 relate to transaction costs, net of income tax benefit. The payments that are excluded from adjusted operating cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2010 relate to transaction, severance and retirement costs, net of income tax benefit.

 

The income tax benefit associated with the excluded payments was calculated using an effective income tax rate of 36.7% for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011 and an effective income tax rate of 38.5% for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010. Certain of the excluded payments for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011 are not deductible for income tax purposes thus resulting in a lower effective income tax rate than the comparable prior year periods.
