News Release

BANNOCKBURN, Ill., Nov. 03, 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 third quarter ended September 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.

Third Quarter 2020 Financial Highlights

• Net revenue of $781.6 million, up 27% compared to $615.9 million in the third quarter of 2019
• Gross profit of $174.2 million, or 22.3% of net revenue, up 26% compared to $137.8 million, or 22.4% of revenue, in the third quarter of 2019
• Net income of $1.7 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to net loss of $42.8 million, or $0.26 loss per share, in the third quarter of 2019
• Adjusted EBITDA of $59.2 million, up 70% compared to $34.8 million in the third quarter of 2019
• Cash flow from operations of $48.3 million compared to a cash outflow of $5.8 million in the third quarter of 2019
• Cash balances of $140.0 million at the end of the third quarter and no outstanding borrowings on the Company’s $175.0 million revolver
• Subsequent to the third quarter, the Company entered into new, multi-year national provider contracts with both Centene and Cigna

Comparable revenue growth for the quarter is approximately 13% when considering the impact and timing of the merger as well as harmonization of accounting policies, with chronic therapies growth over prior year in the mid teens and acute therapies flat to prior year. Additionally, the Company continues to make significant progress on merger-related integration efforts and expects to be complete with integration efforts, other than technology harmonization, by the end of the year.

John C. Rademacher, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The third quarter was very productive for Option Care Health as we continue to serve patients relying on us for critical infusion therapies while also laying the foundation for sustained organic growth. Despite a very challenging operating environment, the team continues to rise to the challenge and reinforce the reliability and dedication of the Option Care team.”

Update on the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a significant impact on the Company’s operations.  New patient referrals increased relative to the second quarter for both acute and chronic therapies and referral levels overall in the third quarter exceed pre-Covid levels.  Chronic patient referrals showed the largest improvement in the quarter, as patient migrations to treatment in the home or alternate site continued and referrals for newer therapies also increased.  Option Care Health continues to incur higher expenses related to both the procurement of personal protection equipment and medical supplies as well as with respect to its clinical labor.

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 which it fully returned in the third quarter.  The cash receipt was reflected in the second quarter results as a cash inflow from financing activities and subsequently as a cash outflow from financing activities in the third quarter. There was no impact on the Company’s results from operations related to the receipt and return of the funds.

Full Year 2020 Guidance

For the full year, the Company expects to generate between $216 million and $220 million in Adjusted EBITDA and at least $80 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.
