News Release

BANNOCKBURN, Ill., Aug. 04, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Option Care Health, Inc. (the “Company” or “Option Care Health”) (Nasdaq: OPCH), the nation’s largest independent provider of home and alternate site infusion services, announced today financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Given the merger between HC Group Holdings II, Inc. (“Option Care”) and BioScrip, Inc. (“BioScrip”) to form Option Care Health on August 6, 2019, comparisons to historical periods are relative to legacy Option Care only and incorporate BioScrip results from August 6, 2019 prospectively. Further, as reported on February 3, 2020, the Company completed a reverse 1-for-4 stock split in the first quarter and, as a result, all per share data below is reported incorporating the effect of the reverse stock split as if it was effective for all periods reported.

Second Quarter 2020 Financial Highlights

• Net revenue of $740.8 million, up 49% compared to $497.3 million in the second quarter of 2019
• Gross profit of $166.3 million, or 22.4% of net revenue, up 64% compared to $101.4 million, or 20.4% of revenue, in the second quarter of 2019
• Net loss of $7.7 million, or $0.04 per share, compared to net loss of $13.6 million, or $0.10 per share, in the second quarter of 2019
• Run rate merger-related synergies at the end of the second quarter of more than $60 million
• Adjusted EBITDA of $54.6 million, up 131% compared to $23.7 million in the second quarter of 2019
• Cash flow from operations of $35.0 million, up 163% compared to $13.3 million in the second quarter of 2019
• Cash balances of $118.1 million at the end of the second quarter and no outstanding borrowings on the Company’s $150.0 million revolver

Additionally, subsequent to the second quarter, the Company completed a sale of 18 million shares of common stock.  Eight million shares were sold by HC Group Holdings, I, the primary shareholder of the Company. The Company also sold 10 million shares and received net proceeds of approximately $118 million, which will be used to retire a portion of its senior secured second lien PIK toggle floating rate notes due 2027. The impact of the sale of common stock will be reflected in the Company’s third quarter results.

John C. Rademacher, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “I am very pleased with the second quarter financial results given the COVID-19 pandemic situation and the dynamic environment in which we are operating.  Most importantly, I am proud of the dedication of the Option Care Health team who safely and effectively deliver on their promises every day ensuring patients receive the critical care they need.”

Update on the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

As anticipated, the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the Company’s second quarter results.  New patient referrals were negatively impacted across the portfolio of both acute and chronic therapies, with the largest impact on acute referrals that typically originate from hospital discharge events.  Option Care Health incurred higher expenses related to both the procurement of personal protection equipment and medical supplies as well as with respect to its clinical labor.

Offsetting the impact of the negative factors, the Company benefitted from the transfer of existing patients receiving infusion therapy in a hospital or other setting to receive therapy in the home or one of the Company’s infusion suites. Comparable revenue growth for the quarter is estimated at approximately 7% when considering the impact of the merger and harmonization of accounting policies, with acute therapies declining in low single digits and chronic therapies growing in the low double digits.

As previously disclosed, as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economics Security Act (the “Cares Act”), the Company received approximately $11.7 million from the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund in the second quarter.  The cash receipt was reflected in the second quarter results as a cash inflow from financing activities. Having considered the terms of the Cares Act and the second quarter results, the Company has decided to return the funds in their entirety in the third quarter.  The outflow will be reflected as a cash outflow due to financing activities and there will be no impact on the Company’s results from operations.

Full Year 2020 Guidance

For the full year, the Company expects to generate between $200 million and $210 million in Adjusted EBITDA and at least $50 million in free cash flow, defined by the Company as net change in ending cash balance compared to the cash balance at December 31, 2019.

Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: (i) changes in laws and regulations applicable to our business model; (ii) changes in market conditions and receptivity to our services and offerings; (iii) results of litigation; (iv) the loss of one or more key payers; and (v) the spread and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting financial information in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company is also reporting Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be used in isolation or as a substitute or alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as a substitute or alternative to cash flow from operating activities or a measure of the Company’s liquidity. In addition, the Company's definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by the Company, represents net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, and restructuring, integration and other expenses. As part of restructuring, integration and other expenses, the Company may incur significant charges such as the write down of certain long−lived assets, temporary redundant expenses, professional fees, potential retention and severance costs and potential accelerated payments or termination costs for certain of its contractual obligations. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful supplemental information regarding the performance of Option Care Health’s business operations and facilitates comparisons to the Company’s historical operating results. For a full reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP financial measure, please see the attachment to this earnings release.
