BRENTWOOD, Tenn., Aug. 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Surgery Partners, Inc. (NASDAQ:SGRY) ("Surgery Partners" or the "Company"), a leading provider of surgical services, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.
- Revenues were $667.6 million representing 8.5% growth and are inclusive of an $8 million cyber event headwind
- Same-facility revenues increased 8.3% on an unadjusted basis and approximately 10% adjusting for the cyber event
- Non-consolidated minority interest revenue increased by over 30%
- Net income attributable to Surgery Partners was $18.9 million
- Adjusted EBITDA was $100.2 million, representing 16.4% growth
- Adjusted EBITDA margin improved by over 100 basis points year-over-year to 15.0%
- Combined, consolidated and unconsolidated surgical case volume grew 5%
- Full year Adjusted EBITDA guidance raised to greater than $435 million, revenue reaffirmed at greater than $2.75 billion, inclusive of the cyber event, and free cash flow reaffirmed at greater than $140 million.
Wayne DeVeydt, Executive Chairman of the Board of Surgery Partners, noted, “Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA both exceeded our expectations for the quarter, inclusive of the cyber event headwind we experienced. We are extremely pleased with the momentum we continue to see in all pillars of our growth algorithm with same facility revenue, margin expansion and capital deployment all performing at levels that support raising our full year adjusted EBITDA outlook to greater than $435 million.”
Eric Evans, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “The company continued its consistent growth and expense management execution in Q2. We are also pleased to report significant progress in our de novo investments with over 15 facilities expected to open in the next 18 months. These investments, coupled with our robust growth in high acuity procedures and the addition of three unconsolidated minority interest partnerships acquired in connection with our new health system partnership with Methodist Health System in Dallas, Texas, give us further confidence in our long-term mid-teen growth targets.”
Dave Doherty, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “We deployed approximately $60 million in capital in the quarter with the majority used to purchase minority interest in high growth markets. Our non-consolidated investments have driven over 30% revenue growth on a year-over-year basis in unconsolidated revenue, and we expect these to continue to ramp up over the next 18 months.”

| (4) We use Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by management to assess operating performance, make business decisions and allocate resources. Non-controlling interests represent the interests of third parties, such as physicians, and in some cases, healthcare systems that own an interest in surgical facilities that we consolidate for financial reporting purposes. We believe that it is helpful to investors to present Adjusted EBITDA as defined above because it excludes the portion of net income attributable to these third-party interests and clarifies for investors our portion of Adjusted EBITDA generated by our surgical facilities and other operations. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income or any other measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. The items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and evaluating our financial performance. We believe such adjustments are appropriate, as the magnitude and frequency of such items can vary significantly and are not related to the assessment of normal operating performance. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. | |||||||||||||||
| (5) Represents the impact of grant funds recognized, net of amounts attributable to non-controlling interests. | |||||||||||||||
The following table reconciles Free Cash Flow to net cash provided by operating activities in the reported condensed consolidated financial information, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure:
| Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, | ||||||
| 2023 | 2023 | ||||||
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 52.1 | $ | 126.6 | |||
| Less: Maintenance capital expenditures | (9.4 | ) | (21.5 | ) | |||
| Less: Distributions to non-controlling interest holders | (35.0 | ) | (76.9 | ) | |||
| Free Cash Flow (1) | $ | 7.7 | $ | 28.2 | |||
| Growth capital expenditures | (16.4 | ) | (28.6 | ) | |||
| Maintenance capital expenditures | (9.4 | ) | (21.5 | ) | |||
| Purchases of property and equipment | $ | (25.8 | ) | $ | (50.1 | ) | |
| (1) Free Cash Flow is defined as cash flow provided by operating activities, less distributions to non-controlling interest holders and less maintenance capital expenditures, which are capital expenditures primarily to maintain our existing facilities. We use the non-GAAP measure of Free Cash Flow as a measure of liquidity to determine amounts we can reinvest in our core businesses, such as amounts available to make acquisitions and invest in growth projects. In order to provide a meaningful basis for comparison, we are providing information with respect to our Free Cash Flow for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, reconciled to net cash provided by operating activities, which we believe to be the most directly comparable measure under GAAP. We are not presenting the comparative prior year period since we did not track capital expenditures in this manner prior to the current fiscal year. Our calculation of Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. | |||||||
From time to time, the Company incurs certain non-recurring gains or losses that are normally non-operational in nature and that it does not consider relevant in assessing its ongoing operating performance. When significant, Surgery Partners’ management and Board of Directors typically exclude these gains or losses when evaluating the Company’s operating performance and in certain instances when evaluating performance for incentive compensation purposes. Additionally, the Company believes that certain investors and equity analysts exclude these or similar items when evaluating the Company’s current or future operating performance and in making informed investment decisions regarding the Company. Accordingly, the Company provides adjusted net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders and adjusted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders as supplements to the comparable GAAP financial measures. Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders and adjusted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders should not be considered measures of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded from such measures are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to the comparable GAAP financial measures as presented in the consolidated financial statements.
The following table reconciles net income as reflected in the consolidated statements of operations to adjusted net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders used to calculate adjusted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders:
