Viemed Healthcare Announces Second Quarter 2020 Record Financial Results


LAFAYETTE, La., Aug. 04, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Viemed Healthcare, Inc. (the “Company” or “Viemed”) (TSX: VMD.TO and NASDAQ:VMD), a home medical equipment supplier that provides post-acute respiratory care services in the United States, announced today that it has reported its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

Operational highlights (all dollar amounts are USD):

  • Net revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 were $42.9 million, an increase of 111% over net revenues reported for the comparable quarter ended June 30, 2019. Current quarter revenues included approximately $19.7 million of product sales related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The Company also recognized an additional $2.5 million in sales proceeds in gain/loss on sale of equipment which represents another portion of the equipment sales related to the pandemic.
     
  • Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 totaled approximately $19.4 million, a Company record, compared to $1.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 totaled approximately $23.7 million, compared to $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. 
     
  • Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 totaled approximately $16.3 million, a Company record, and a 296% increase as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2019. Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2020 totaled approximately $24.2 million, a 181% increase as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. A reconciliation of reported non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures can be found in the tables accompanying this press release.
     
  • The Company had a current cash balance of $29.7 million at June 30, 2020  ($13.4 million at December 31, 2019) and an overall working capital balance of $17.4 million ($1.9 million at December 31, 2019). Total long-term debt as of June 30, 2020 was $8.3 million.
     
  • In addition to its core rental business, the Company is continuing to pursue additional purchase orders to provide support during the COVID-19 pandemic as well as sourcing equipment and PPE to fulfill these opportunities. The Company expects to generate net revenues of approximately $31 million to $35 million during the third quarter of 2020, including approximately $6.8 million to $9.8 million of revenue related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

“We have once again demonstrated our ability to create value while serving as a resource for those in need during the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Casey Hoyt, Viemed's CEO. “We continue to adapt to the ongoing changes in the healthcare system and are developing new ways to collaborate with referral sources to ensure that all eligible patients can obtain our quality care and service.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release refers to “Adjusted EBITDA” which is a non-GAAP financial measure that does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP. The Company's presentation of this financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, unrealized (gain) loss on warrant conversion liability and stock-based compensation. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA provides helpful information with respect to the Company’s operating performance as viewed by management, including a view of the Company’s business that is not dependent on the impact of the Company’s capitalization structure and items that are not part of the Company’s day-to-day operations. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA (i) to compare the Company’s operating performance on a consistent basis, (ii) to calculate incentive compensation for the Company’s employees, (iii) for planning purposes, including the preparation of the Company’s internal annual operating budget, and (iv) to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of the Company’s operational strategies. Accordingly, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information in understanding and evaluating the Company’s operating performance in the same manner as management. The following table is a reconciliation of net income (loss), the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, to Adjusted EBITDA, on a historical basis for the periods indicated:

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. It is not a measurement of the Company’s financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to revenue or net income, as applicable, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other businesses. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s operating results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters the Company considers not to be indicative of ongoing operations; and other companies in the Company’s industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
