First-Quarter 2017 Financial Highlights
- Revenues increased by 11.9% to $141.0 million compared with $126.0 million for the first quarter of 2016, driven by growth in all three of the Company’s product lines.
- Net income from continuing operations was $15.5 million compared with $19.2 million for the first quarter of 2016. Results for the first quarter of 2017 include an effective income tax rate of 37.7% and the impact of pre-tax business separation and restructuring charges totaling $2.4 million. Results for the first quarter of 2016 include an effective income tax rate of 0%, due to tax benefits derived from utilizing net operating loss carryforwards from 2015 that were previously subject to a valuation allowance, as well as pre-tax restructuring charges of $39 thousand.
- Adjusted net income from continuing operations, excluding business separation and restructuring charges, was $16.9 million for the first quarter of 2017 and $19.2 million for the first quarter of 2016. For illustration, had net income from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2016 been subject to a normalized tax rate of 40.0%, it would have been $11.5 million. See pages 10-12 for a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures.
- Net income from continuing operations per diluted share was $0.38 compared with $0.52 for the first quarter of 2016, and adjusted net income from continuing operations per diluted share was $0.42 compared with $0.52 for the first quarter of 2016. For illustration, had net income from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2016 been subject to a normalized tax rate of 40.0%, net income from continuing operations per diluted share would have been $0.31. Weighted average diluted shares outstanding increased 10.0% for the first quarter of 2017 from the first quarter of 2016.
- Adjusted EBITDA, which excluded business separation and restructuring expenses, increased 26.3% to $31.8 million compared with $25.2 million for the first quarter of 2016.

“We are pleased with our first-quarter financial results,” said Donato Tramuto, Tivity Health’s Chief Executive Officer. “Due to the strength of this performance and the visibility it gives us for the rest of 2017, we have increased our financial guidance for the full year.
“We are also pleased to announce a three-year renewal of our SilverSneakers® contract with UnitedHealth Group, continuing a 20-year relationship with a partner who shares our commitment to active lifestyles. This renewal and many other renewals we have achieved to date are a clear indication of the value of both our brand and the services provided to our customers and their members through the SilverSneakers program.”
Glenn Hargreaves, Tivity Health’s Interim Chief Financial Officer, added, “During the first quarter, we essentially completed our restructuring and business separation initiatives and realized cost savings that annualize to approximately $15 million from the restructuring, which contributed to expanding our adjusted EBITDA margin.
“Tivity Health’s cash flow from operations for the first quarter of 2017 totaled $3.0 million. First-quarter cash flow reflects our expected seasonality due to the payment of the 2016 colleague bonus and the full-year 2016 401(k) Plan matching contributions. Cash flow for the first quarter was also reduced due to the timing of payments from two long-term customers, which have since been paid. Our guidance for free cash flow for the full year remains unchanged.”
Completes Refinancing of Credit Facilities
On April 21, 2017, Tivity Health completed the refinancing of its senior credit facilities. The new facilities include a $100 million revolving credit facility, a $70 million term loan A facility, a $150 million delayed draw term loan facility and an uncommitted incremental accordion facility of $100 million. Proceeds of the revolving loans and delayed draw term loans may be used to repay outstanding indebtedness, including amounts payable upon any conversion of the Company’s $150 million cash convertible senior notes due 2018. As previously disclosed, the stock trading price threshold requirement for convertibility of the senior notes was met in the first quarter of 2017. Consequently, the senior notes are convertible into cash at the option of the holder during the period of April 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017. As a result, and even if holders do not elect to convert, applicable accounting rules require Tivity Health to reclassify the senior notes as a current rather than long-term liability at March 31, 2017.
Increases 2017 Financial Guidance
Tivity Health announced today that, based on first-quarter results and the Company’s outlook for the remainder of 2017, financial guidance for 2017 has been modified as follows:
- revenues in a range of $550 million to $558 million, compared with the previous range of $540 million to $550 million;
- adjusted EBITDA in a range of $119 million to $123 million, compared with the previous range of $116 million to $120 million; and
- adjusted earnings per diluted share in a range of $1.50 to $1.58, compared with the previous range of $1.44 to $1.52.
The guidance for adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per diluted share reflects the exclusion of pre-tax restructuring and business separation expenses totaling $2.4 million that were incurred in the first quarter of 2017. See page 12 for a reconciliation of adjusted earnings per diluted share guidance to earnings per diluted share guidance. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA guidance because certain information required for such reconciliation is not determinable with reasonable certainty.
This guidance for 2017 includes:
- depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $3 million;
- a federal income tax rate for the remainder of the year of approximately 39%;
- weighted average diluted shares outstanding of approximately 41 million for the full year;
- free cash flow of $90 million to $95 million; and
- capital expenditures of $8 million to $10 million.
Summary
Tramuto concluded, “Our first-quarter performance provides further evidence of our ability to fiercely execute on our plan, to produce profitable growth serving markets that have compelling long-term growth dynamics, and to deliver value to our customers and shareholders. Through our A-B-C-D strategy, the goals of which are to (A) add new members in our three existing networks - SilverSneakers®, Prime® Fitness and WholeHealth LivingTM; (B) build engagement and participation among our current eligible members; (C) collaborate with partners to add new products and services that will leverage the value of our brand; and (D) deepen relationships with our partners and their instructors within our national network, we believe we are well positioned to strengthen our market leadership position in serving the age 50-plus market. We are actively developing and testing a variety of innovative initiatives designed to increase the number of active members and the frequency of their participation. With SilverSneakers as the leading, trusted brand in the market, Tivity Health intends to help our eligible members live their best lives with vitality, dignity, and purpose.”
