First Quarter Results

The Company reported revenue of $616.7 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared with $551.2 million for the first quarter of 2021. Adjusted EBITDA was $135.5 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared with $119.5 million for the same period last year.

Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to Acadia stockholders was $0.67 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2022. Adjustments to income include transaction-related expenses and the income tax effect of adjustments to income. A reconciliation of all non-GAAP financial results in this press release begins on page 9.

For the first quarter of 2022, Acadia’s same facility revenue increased 8.6% compared with the first quarter of 2021, including an increase in revenue per patient day of 6.2% and an increase in patient days of 2.2%.

Chris Hunter, Chief Executive Officer of Acadia Healthcare Company, remarked, “Acadia produced solid financial and operating results for the first quarter of 2022, marking a strong start to the year. While we faced some early challenges in January related to the surge of the Omicron variant of COVID-19, our operating trends recovered with meaningful improvement in February and March. Our facilities have managed well through each stage of the pandemic, with strict protocols in place to ensure high standards of safety for our patients with minimal disruptions to our operations, all while navigating a tight labor environment. As such, we successfully delivered on our key performance metrics in the first quarter, demonstrating consistent execution of our strategy. We have seen robust demand for our behavioral healthcare services, and our dedicated team of employees and clinicians across our operations have continued to meet this growing demand with high quality patient care in a safe and effective manner.

Strategic Investments for Long-Term Growth

“In the first quarter of 2022, Acadia continued to move forward and expand our market reach through four strategic pathways to growth across our service lines. Our first pathway and best return on investment is through facility expansions, where we have an opportunity to utilize a facility’s current infrastructure and leverage the existing cost structure. During the first quarter, we added 28 beds to current facilities and expect to add approximately 300 beds in 2022.

“As the demand for behavioral healthcare services continues to grow, our second pathway focuses on identifying underserved markets to develop wholly owned de novo facilities that help address this need. At the end of 2021, we completed the acquisition of several currently non-operational facilities, including one adult hospital, one children’s hospital and an outpatient facility, all located in Chicago. We have commenced work on the improvements and expect to open the 60-bed children’s hospital in June. The 101-bed adult hospital and the outpatient facility are slated to begin operations in 2023. In addition to the new Chicago facilities, we also expect to open a de novo facility, Coachella Valley Behavioral Health, in Indio, California, later this year.

“We also continued to expand our network of comprehensive treatment centers (CTCs) to address the growing and critical need for medication-assisted treatment for patients dealing with opioid use disorder. We opened one new CTC in Virginia during the first quarter. We have identified additional opportunities to reach more markets that are underserved, and we plan to open at least six CTCs in 2022 to support the high demand for effective treatment.

“A third important pathway for Acadia’s continued growth is through joint venture partnerships with leading health systems across the country. With our expertise as the leading pure-play provider of behavioral healthcare services and our reputation for quality care, Acadia is an attractive partner for leading health systems who want to expand and improve behavioral healthcare treatment options in their respective communities. We plan to open a new facility in partnership with Covenant Health in Knoxville, Tennessee, this summer. We also expect to commence operations in a new facility in partnership with the Lutheran Health Network in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, later in 2022. Working together with these partners, we can combine our expertise and resources with a shared commitment to expand access to quality care and behavioral health treatment.

“For our fourth and final pathway we continue to look for acquisition opportunities that meet the criteria of our disciplined capital allocation framework. Acadia has a proven operating model, and our strategy is to identify facilities and programs where we can leverage our scale and expertise, make necessary investments for expansion and add service offerings to further enhance the continuum of care,” added Hunter.

Cash and Liquidity

Acadia’s balance sheet remains strong with ample liquidity and capital to pursue its growth initiatives and continue to make strategic investments in its business. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $140.4 million in cash and cash equivalents. During the first quarter, the Company repaid $10 million on its senior secured revolving credit facility, reducing the outstanding balance to $160 million as of March 31, 2022. The Company had $440 million available under its $600 million revolving credit facility and its net leverage ratio was approximately 2.3x as of March 31, 2022.

During the first quarter, the Company continued its repayment of amounts received pursuant to the Medicare Accelerated and Advanced Payment Program under the CARES Act. Of the $45 million of advanced payments received in 2020, the Company repaid a total of $25 million in 2021 and made additional payments of $8 million in the first quarter of 2022. The Company will continue to repay the remaining balance throughout the rest of 2022. The Company will also repay the remaining half of the approximately $39 million of 2020 payroll tax deferrals in the second half of 2022.

Hunter added, “I am very proud to join Acadia as the Company’s new Chief Executive Officer and am excited about the opportunities ahead. With a strong first quarter performance, we have an opportunity to build on our momentum and continue to extend our market reach to more patients and communities. Above all, we are unwavering in our commitment as a leader in addressing the critical societal need in our country for behavioral healthcare services. It is gratifying to see the growing recognition of mental health on parity with other healthcare services and a greater public acceptance for treatment. With the extraordinary economic and societal challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for behavioral healthcare services is greater than ever. Acadia is well positioned to meet the growing demand for our services with a proven operating model, an expansive network of 238 facilities and diversified service lines across the continuum of care. I look forward to working with Acadia’s strong management team, committed facility leaders, clinicians and 22,500 dedicated employees across the country as we pursue a strategic direction that delivers greater value for our patients, the communities we serve and our stockholders.”

EBITDA: net income attributable to Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. adjusted for net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes, provision for income taxes, net interest expense and depreciation and amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA: EBITDA adjusted for equity-based compensation expense, transaction-related expenses and debt extinguishment costs.
Adjusted EBITDA margin: Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.
Adjusted income from continuing operations before income taxes attributable to Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc.: net income attributable to Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. adjusted for loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes, transaction-related expenses, debt extinguishment costs and provision for income taxes.
Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc.: Adjusted income from continuing operations before income taxes attributable to Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. adjusted for the income tax effect of adjustments to income.
The non-GAAP financial measures presented herein are supplemental measures of our performance and are not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The non-GAAP financial measures presented herein are not measures of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as measures of our liquidity. Our measurements of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. We have included information concerning the non-GAAP financial measures in this press release because we believe that such information is used by certain investors as measures of a company’s historical performance.
