EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

 

1.              General

 

Basis of Presentation of Financial Statements

 

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements for Emergency Medical Services Corporation (“EMSC” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim reporting, and accordingly, do not include all of the disclosures required for annual financial statements.  For further information, see the Company’s consolidated financial statements, including the accounting policies and notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

 

On May 25, 2011, EMSC was acquired through a merger transaction (“Merger”) by investment funds (the “CD&R Affiliates”) sponsored by, or affiliated with, Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC (“CD&R”).  As a result of the Merger, EMSC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of CDRT Acquisition Corporation and the Company’s stock ceased to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Details of the Merger are more fully discussed in Note 2. The accompanying consolidated statements of operations and cash flows are presented for two periods: Successor (the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and the period from May 25, 2011 through June 30, 2011) and Predecessor (the periods from April 1, 2011 through May 24, 2011 and January 1, 2011 through May 24, 2011), which relate to the period succeeding the Merger and the period preceding the Merger, respectively.  The Company applied purchase accounting to the opening balance sheet and results of operations on May 25, 2011.  The Merger resulted in a new basis of accounting beginning on May 25, 2011 and the financial reporting periods are presented as follows:

 

·                  The three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 are presented on a Successor basis, reflecting the Merger of the Company and the affiliate of CD&R.

 

·                  The three month period ended June 30, 2011 includes the Predecessor period of the Company from April 1, 2011 through May 24, 2011 and the Successor period, reflecting the Merger of the Company and the affiliate of CD&R, from May 25, 2011 through June 30, 2011.

 

·                  The six month period ended June 30, 2011 includes the Predecessor period of the Company from January 1, 2011 through May 24, 2011 and the Successor period, reflecting the Merger of the Company and the affiliate of CD&R, from May 25, 2011 through June 30, 2011.  The consolidated financial statements for all Predecessor periods have been prepared using the historical basis of accounting for the Company.  As a result of the Merger and the associated purchase accounting, the consolidated financial statements of the Successor are not comparable to periods preceding the Merger.

 

In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the periods presented.  Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2012.

 

The Company’s business is conducted primarily through two operating subsidiaries, EmCare Holdings Inc. (“EmCare”), its facility-based physician services segment, and American Medical Response, Inc. (“AMR”), its medical transportation services segment.

 

2.              Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include all wholly-owned subsidiaries of EMSC, including EmCare and AMR and their respective subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations, financial condition and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Insurance

 

Insurance collateral is comprised principally of government and investment grade securities and cash deposits with third parties and supports the Company’s insurance program and reserves. Certain of these investments, if sold or otherwise liquidated, would have to be replaced by other suitable financial assurances and are, therefore, considered restricted.  During the six month ended June 30, 2012, the Company replaced approximately $100 million of insurance collateral investments with letters of credit.  Insurance collateral also includes a receivable from insurers of $10.8 million as of December 31, 2011 for liabilities in excess of our self-insured retention. This receivable was reversed in the first quarter of 2012 upon settlement of the related liability. A similar receivable of $1.1 million is included in insurance collateral as of June 30, 2012.

 

Insurance reserves are established for automobile, workers compensation, general liability and professional liability claims utilizing policies with both fully-insured and self-insured components. This includes the use of an off-shore captive insurance program through a wholly-owned subsidiary for certain liability programs for both EmCare and AMR. In those instances where the Company has obtained third-party insurance coverage, the Company normally retains liability for the first $1 to $2 million of the loss. Insurance reserves cover known claims and incidents within the level of Company retention that may result in the assertion of additional claims, as well as claims from unknown incidents that may be asserted arising from activities through the balance sheet date.

 

The Company establishes reserves for claims based upon an assessment of actual claims and claims incurred but not reported.  The reserves are established based on quarterly consultation with third-party independent actuaries using actuarial principles and assumptions that consider a number of factors, including historical claim payment patterns (including legal costs) and changes in case reserves and the assumed rate of inflation in healthcare costs and property damage repairs.

 

The Company’s most recent actuarial valuation was completed in June 2012. As a result of this and previous actuarial valuations, the Company recorded increases in its provisions for insurance liabilities of $1.6 million and $1.2 million during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively, compared to increases of $5.7 million and $8.2 million during the periods from April 1, 2011 through May 24, 2011 and January 1, 2011 through May 24, 2011, respectively, related to reserves for losses in prior years.

 

The long-term portion of insurance reserves was $183.7 million and $186.0 million as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

 

Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, net

 

The Company estimates its allowances based on payor reimbursement schedules, historical collections and write-off experience and other economic data. The allowances for contractual discounts and uncompensated care are reviewed monthly. Account balances are charged off against the uncompensated care allowance, which relates principally to receivables recorded for self-pay patients, when it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. Write-offs to the contractual allowance occur when payment is received. The Company’s accounts receivable and allowances are as follows:

Other receivables primarily represent EmCare hospital subsidies and fees, and AMR fees for stand-by and special events and subsidies from community organizations.

 

Accounts receivable allowances at EmCare are estimated based on cash collection and write-off experience at a facility level contract and facility specific payor mix.  These allowances are reviewed and adjusted monthly through revenue provisions. In addition, a look-back analysis is done, typically after 15 months, to compare actual cash collected on a date of service basis to the revenue recorded for that period. Any adjustment necessary for an overage or deficit in these allowances based on actual collections is recorded through a revenue adjustment in the current period.

Table of Contents

 

AMR contractual allowances are determined primarily by payor reimbursement schedules that are included and regularly updated in the billing systems, and by historical collection experience. The billing systems calculate the difference between payor specific gross billings and contractually agreed to, or governmentally driven, reimbursement rates. The allowance for uncompensated care at AMR is related principally to receivables recorded for self-pay patients. AMR’s allowances on self-pay accounts receivable are estimated on claim level, historical write-off experience.

 

Business Combinations

 

Assets and liabilities of an acquired business are recorded at their fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the acquisition consideration over the estimated fair values is recorded as goodwill. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred. While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions as a part of the acquisition consideration allocation process to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, the estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period any subsequent adjustments are recorded as expense.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Fee-for-service revenue is recognized at the time of service and is recorded net of provisions for contractual discounts and estimated uncompensated care.  Fee-for-service revenue represents billings for services provided to patients, for which the Company receives payment from the patient or their third-party payor.  Provisions for contractual discounts are related to differences between gross charges and specific payor, including governmental, reimbursement schedules.  Subsidy and fee revenue primarily represent hospital subsidies and fees at EmCare and fees for stand-by, special event and community subsidies at AMR.  Provisions for estimated uncompensated care, or bad debt expense, are related principally to the number of self-pay patients treated in the period and are based primarily on historical collection experience to reduce revenues net of contractual discounts to the estimated amounts the Company expects to collect.

 

Net revenue for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 consisted of the following:

Healthcare reimbursement is complex and may involve lengthy delays. Third-party payors are continuing their efforts to control expenditures for healthcare, including proposals to revise reimbursement policies. The Company has from time to time experienced delays in reimbursement from third-party payors. In addition, third-party payors may disallow, in whole or in part, claims for payment based on determinations that certain amounts are not reimbursable under plan coverage, determinations of medical necessity, or the need for additional information. Laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs are very complex and subject to interpretation. Revenue is recognized on an estimated basis in the period in which related services are rendered. As a result, there is a reasonable possibility that recorded estimates will change materially in the short-term. Such amounts, including adjustments between provisions for contractual discounts and uncompensated care, are adjusted in future periods, as adjustments become known. These adjustments were less than 1% of net revenue for the Successor and Predecessor periods.

 

The Company provides services to patients who have no insurance or other third-party payor coverage. In certain circumstances, federal law requires providers to render services to any patient who requires care regardless of their ability to pay. Services to these patients are not considered to be charity care and provisions for uncompensated care for these services are estimated accordingly.

Merger

 

Merger and Other Related Costs

 

During the period from January 1, 2011 through May 24, 2011, the Company recorded $29.8 million of pretax Merger related costs consisting primarily of investment banking, accounting and legal fees. The Company also recognized a pretax charge of $12.4 million related to accelerated vesting of all outstanding unvested stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units including associated payroll taxes and $10.1 million related to loss on early debt extinguishment.

 

Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Consolidated Statements of Operations

 

The following Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Consolidated Statement of Operations reflects the consolidated results of operations of the Company as if the Merger had occurred on January 1, 2011. The historical financial information has been adjusted to give effect to events that are (1) directly attributed to the Merger, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. Such items include interest expense related to debt issued in conjunction with the Merger as well as additional amortization expense associated with the valuation of intangible assets. This unaudited pro forma information should not be relied upon as necessarily being indicative of the historical results that would have been obtained if the Merger had actually occurred on that date, nor of the results that may be obtained in the future.

Fair Value Measurement

 

The Company classifies its financial instruments that are reported at fair value based on a hierarchal framework which ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring financial instruments at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of instrument and the characteristics specific to the instrument. Instruments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

 

Financial instruments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

 

Level 1—Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. The Company does not adjust the quoted price for these assets or liabilities, which include investments held in connection with the Company’s captive insurance program.

 

11



Table of Contents

 

Level 2—Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. Balances in this category include fixed income mortgage backed securities, corporate bonds, and derivatives.

 

Level 3—Pricing inputs are unobservable as of the reporting date and reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the fair value of the asset or liability. Balances in this category include the Company’s estimate, using a combination of internal and external fair value analyses, of contingent consideration for acquisitions made in prior periods.

 

The following table summarizes the valuation of EMSC’s financial instruments by the above fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

The contingent consideration balance classified as a level 3 liability has decreased by $1.6 million since December 31, 2011 due to reduced probability of achieving certain contractual provisions.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In July 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No 2011-7, Presentation and Disclosure of Patient Service Revenue, Provision for Bad Debts, and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts for Certain Health Care Entities (“ASU 2011-7”) to give further transparency about a health care entity’s net patient service revenue and the related allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

ASU 2011-7 requires the following:

 

·                  presentation of bad debt expense, which the Company classifies as uncompensated care, as contra-revenue on the statement of operations;

 

·                  the Company’s policy for considering collectability in the timing of revenue and bad debt recognized;

 

·                  disclosure of the amount of revenue, net of contractual discounts by major payor source; and

 

·                  quantitative and qualitative information about changes in the bad debt allowance, including judgments and changes in estimates.

 

The Company adopted this new guidance effective January 1, 2012 by separating out its uncompensated care provision on the consolidated statement of operations and by providing additional disclosure to footnote 2 under Revenue Recognition for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

 

3.              Aquisitions

 

During the second quarter of 2012, the Company made purchase price allocation adjustments related to Medics Ambulance and Acute Management, LLC; both acquisitions which closed during the third quarter of 2011. Based on preliminary independent valuations performed, $8.6 million and $4.0 million were reclassified from goodwill to intangible assets for Medics Ambulance and Acute Management, LLC, respectively.  The Company expects to complete its valuation by the end of the third quarter 2012.

During the second quarter of 2012, EMSC’s captive insurance subsidiary purchased and currently holds $15.0 million of the senior subordinated unsecured notes through an open market transaction. The Company also made unscheduled payments totaling $150.0 million on the senior secured term loan during the second quarter of 2012 and wrote off $5.2 million of unamortized debt issuance costs.

 

6.              Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

 

The Company manages its exposure to changes in fuel prices and interest rates and, from time to time, uses highly effective derivative instruments to manage well-defined risk exposures. The Company monitors its positions and the credit ratings of its counterparties and does not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

 

At June 30, 2012, the Company was party to a series of fuel hedge transactions with a major financial institution under one master agreement. Each of the transactions effectively fixes the cost of diesel fuel at prices ranging from $3.62 to $4.06 per gallon. The Company purchases the diesel fuel at the market rate and periodically settles with its counterparty for the difference between the national average price for the period published by the Department of Energy and the agreed upon fixed price. The transactions fix the price for a total of 7.2 million gallons, which represents approximately 29% of the Company’s total estimated usage during the periods hedged, and are spread over periods from July 2012 through December 2014. As of June 30, 2012, the Company recorded, as a component of other comprehensive income before applicable tax impacts, a liability associated with the fair value of the fuel hedge in the amount of $2.2 million, compared to an asset of $0.2 million as of December 31, 2011. Settlement of hedge agreements are included in operating expenses and resulted in net receipts from the counterparty of $0.4 million and $0.8 million for each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012, $0.3 million for the period from May 25, 2011 through June 30, 2011, $0.5 million for the period from April 1, 2011 through May 24, 2011, and $1.0 million for the period from January 1, 2011 through May 24, 2011.  Over the

Table of Contents

 

next 12 months, the Company expects to reclassify $1.8 million of deferred loss from accumulated comprehensive income as the related fuel hedge transactions mature.

 

In October 2011, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements which mature on August 31, 2015.  The swap agreements are with major financial institutions and effectively convert a total of $400 million in variable rate debt to fixed rate debt with an effective rate of 5.74%.  The Company will continue to make interest payments based on the variable rate associated with the debt (based on LIBOR, but not less than 1.5%) and will periodically settle with its counterparties for the difference between the rate paid and the fixed rate. The Company recorded, as a component of other comprehensive income before applicable tax impacts, a liability associated with the fair value of the interest rate swap in the amount of $4.3 million as of June 30, 2012, compared to $2.4 million as of December 31, 2011.  As of June 30, 2012, there have not been any additional payments made or received under these hedge agreements.  Over the next 12 months, the Company expects to reclassify $1.7 million of deferred loss from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest expense as the related interest rate swap transactions mature.

 

7.              Restructuring Charges

 

The Company recorded a restructuring charge of $2.7 million and $8.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, related to continuing efforts to re-align AMR’s operations. Payments currently under this plan are expected to be complete by June 2013. The accrued restructuring liability as of June 30, 2012 of $10.0 million includes accruals on restructuring plans from prior years in addition to the 2012 plan outlined below.

8.              Commitments and Contingencies

 

Lease Commitments

 

The Company leases various facilities and equipment under operating lease agreements.

 

The Company also leases certain assets under capital leases. Assets under capital leases are capitalized using inherent interest rates at the inception of each lease. Capital leases are collateralized by the underlying assets.

 

Services

 

The Company is subject to the Medicare and Medicaid fraud and abuse laws which prohibit, among other things, any false claims, or any bribe, kickback or rebate in return for the referral of Medicare and Medicaid patients. Violation of these prohibitions may result in civil and criminal penalties and exclusion from participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Management has implemented policies and procedures that management believes will assure that the Company is in substantial compliance with these laws and regulations but there can be no assurance the Company will not be found to have violated certain of these laws and regulations. From time to time, the Company receives requests for information from government agencies pursuant to their regulatory or investigational authority. Such requests can include subpoenas or demand letters for documents to assist the government agencies in audits or investigations. The Company is cooperating with the government agencies conducting these investigations and is providing requested information to the government agencies. Other than the proceedings described below, management believes that the outcome of any of these investigations would not have a material adverse effect on the Company.

 

Like other ambulance companies, AMR has provided discounts to its healthcare facility customers (nursing homes and hospitals) in certain circumstances. The Company has attempted to comply with applicable law where such discounts are provided. During the first quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company was advised by the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) that it was investigating certain business practices at AMR. The specific practices at issue were (1) whether ambulance transports

involving Medicare eligible patients complied with the “medical necessity” requirement imposed by Medicare regulations, (2) whether patient signatures, when required, were properly obtained from Medicare eligible patients, and (3) whether discounts in violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute were provided by AMR in exchange for referrals involving Medicare eligible patients. In connection with the third issue, the government alleged that certain of AMR’s hospital and nursing home contracts in effect in Texas in periods prior to 2002 contained discounts in violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute. The Company negotiated a settlement with the government pursuant to which the Company paid $9 million and obtained a release of all claims related to such conduct alleged to have occurred in Texas in periods prior to 2002. In connection with the settlement, AMR entered into a Corporate Integrity Agreement (“CIA”) which was effective for a period of five years beginning September 12, 2006, and which was released in February 2012.

 

In December 2006, AMR received a subpoena from the DOJ.  The subpoena requested copies of documents for the period from January 2000 through the present.  The subpoena required AMR to produce a broad range of documents relating to the operations of certain AMR affiliates in New York.  The Company produced documents responsive to the subpoena. The government identified claims for reimbursement that the government believes lack support for the level billed, and invited the Company to respond to the identified areas of concern. The Company reviewed the information provided by the government and provided its response.  On May 20, 2011, AMR entered into a settlement agreement with the DOJ and a CIA with the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services (“OIG”) in connection with this matter. Under the terms of the settlement, AMR paid $2.7 million to the federal government. In connection with the settlement, the Company entered into a CIA with a five-year period beginning May 20, 2011. Pursuant to this CIA, the Company is required to maintain a compliance program, which includes, among other elements, the appointment of a compliance officer and committee, training of employees nationwide, safeguards for its billing operations as they relate to services provided in New York, including specific training for operations and billing personnel providing services in New York, review by an independent review organization and reporting of certain reportable events. The Company entered into the settlement in order to avoid the uncertainties of litigation, and has not admitted any wrongdoing.

 

In July 2011, AMR received a request from the Civil Division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California (“USAO”) asking AMR to preserve certain documents concerning AMR’s provision of ambulance services within the City of Riverside, California.  The USAO indicated that it, together with the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Inspector General, are investigating whether AMR violated the federal False Claims Act and/or the federal Anti-Kickback Statute in connection with AMR’s provision of ambulance transport services within the City of Riverside.  The California Attorney General’s Office is conducting a parallel state investigation for possible violations of the California False Claims Act.  The Company complied with the USAO’s request to preserve documents.  In October 2011, the USAO served AMR with a subpoena compelling production of certain documents, and AMR is in the process of complying with the USAO’s subpoena.

 

Other Legal Matters

 

Four different lawsuits purporting to be class actions have been filed against AMR and certain subsidiaries in California alleging violations of California wage and hour laws.  On April 16, 2008, Lori Bartoni commenced a suit in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Alameda; on July 8, 2008, Vaughn Banta filed suit in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles; on January 22, 2009, Laura Karapetian filed suit in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, and on March 11, 2010, Melanie Aguilar filed suit in Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles.  The Banta and Karapetian cases have been coordinated with the Bartoni case in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Alameda.  At the present time, courts have not certified classes in any of these cases.  Plaintiffs allege principally that the AMR entities failed to pay overtime charges pursuant to California law, and failed to provide required meal breaks or pay premium compensation for missed meal breaks.  Plaintiffs are seeking to certify the classes and are seeking lost wages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and other sanctions permitted under California law for violations of wage hour laws.  The Company is unable at this time to estimate the amount of potential damages, if any.

 

All of the eleven purported class actions relating to the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 13, 2011, among EMSC, CDRT Acquisition Corporation and CDRT Merger Sub, Inc., or the Merger Agreement, which were filed in state court in Delaware and federal and state courts in Colorado against various combinations of EMSC, the members of EMSC’s board of directors, and other parties have now been voluntarily dismissed or settled.  Seven of the eleven actions were filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery beginning on February 22, 2011, and were consolidated into one action entitled In re Emergency Medical Services Corporation Shareholder Litigation, Consolidated C.A. No. 6248-VCS.  That consolidated class action was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice by the plaintiffs on September 26, 2011.  Two actions, entitled Scott A. Halliday v. Emergency Medical Services Corporation, et al., Case No. 2011CV316 (filed on February 15, 2011), and Alma C. Howell v. William Sanger, et. al., Case No. 2011CV488 (filed on March 1, 2011), were filed in the District Court, Arapahoe County, Colorado.  Those two actions were voluntarily dismissed

without prejudice by the plaintiffs on September 16, 2011 and October 24, 2011, respectively.  Two other actions, entitled Michael Wooten v. Emergency Medical Services Corporation, et al., Case No. 11-CV-00412  (filed on February 17, 2011), and Neal Greenberg v. Emergency Medical Services Corporation, et. al., Case No. 11-CV-00496 (filed on February 28, 2011), were filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado and were also consolidated.  On March 23, 2012, the U.S. District Court issued a final order of judgment approving the impending settlement that EMSC had previously disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, and EMSC incurred no material charges in connection with the settlement.  That order approved the settlement as set forth in a Stipulation of Settlement among the parties dated as of November 28, 2011 and released all of the plaintiffs’ and the class’s claims against the defendants.

 

In addition to the foregoing shareholder class actions, Merion Capital, L.P., a former stockholder of the Company, has filed an action in the Delaware Court of Chancery seeking to exercise its right to appraisal of its holdings in the Company prior to the Merger. Merion Capital was the holder of 599,000 shares of class A common stock in the Company prior to the Merger. The Company has not paid any merger consideration for these shares and has recorded a reserve in the amount of $38.3 million for such unpaid merger consideration pending conclusion of the appraisal action.

 

The Company is involved in other litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes the outcome of these legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

 

9.              Equity Based Compensation

 

Successor Equity Plans

 

Management of EMSC was allowed to rollover stock options of the Predecessor into fully vested options of the CDRT Holding Corporation (“Holding”), the Company’s indirect parent company. In addition, EMSC established a stock compensation plan after the Merger whereby certain members of management were awarded stock options in Holding. The stock options are valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model on the date of grant. These options have a $64.00 strike price and vest ratably through December 2015. A compensation charge of $1.1 million and $2.1 million was recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.

 

In August 2011, the non-employee directors of the Company, other than the Chairman of the Board, were given the option to defer a portion of their director fees and receive it in the form of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, Holding granted 986 and 1,973 RSUs, respectively, based on a market price of $64.00 per share.

 

In June 2012, Holding granted 20,310 options to certain key management employees at an exercise price of $64.00. On the grant date 40% of the shares were vested and the remaining shares vest ratably over the next two years provided certain performance criteria are realized.

 

Predecessor Equity Plans

 

For a detailed description of the Company’s pre-merger stock compensation plans, refer to Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

 

Total equity-based compensation expense recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations resulting from stock options, non-vested restricted stock awards and non-vested restricted stock units was $13.2 million for the Predecessor period from April 1, 2011 through May 24, 2011 and $15.1 million for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2011 through May 24, 2011. Included in the Predecessor periods is $11.7 million of equity-based compensation expense and $0.7 million of payroll tax expense incurred during the period from April 1, 2011 through May 24, 2011 due to the accelerated vesting of stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units as the result of change in control provisions upon closing of the Merger.

 

10.       Related Party Transactions

 

Upon completion of the Merger, the Company and Holding entered into a consulting agreement with CD&R, dated May 25, 2011 (the “Consulting Agreement”), pursuant to which CD&R will provide Holding and its subsidiaries, including the Company, with financial, investment banking, management, advisory and other services. Holding, or one or more of its subsidiaries, will pay CD&R an annual fee of $5.0 million, plus expenses. CD&R may also charge a transaction fee for certain types of transactions completed by Holding or one or more of its subsidiaries, plus expenses. The Company expensed $1.3 million and $2.6 million during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012. During the period from May 25, 2011 through June 30, 2011, the Company expensed $0.5 million in respect of this fee.

Table of Contents

 

Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, CD&R received a transaction fee of $40.0 million and $2.6 million for out-of-pocket and consulting expenses to third-parties CD&R paid prior to the closing of the Merger.  This amount was capitalized as part of the Merger and has been allocated between deferred financing costs, which is included in other long-term assets, and equity on the accompanying balance sheet as of June 30, 2012.

 

The Company was party to a management agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Onex Corporation, the Company’s prior principal equityholder, until May 25, 2011. In exchange for an annual management fee of $1.0 million, the Onex subsidiary provided the Company with corporate finance and strategic planning consulting services. For the periods April 1, 2011 through May 24, 2011 and January 1, 2011 through May 24, 2011, the Company expensed $149 and $399, respectively, in respect of this fee.

 

11.       Variable Interest Entities

 

GAAP requires the assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests and activities of Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) to be consolidated if an entity’s interest in the VIE has specific characteristics including: voting rights not proportional to ownership and the right to receive a majority of expected income or absorb a majority of expected losses. In addition, the entity exposed to the majority of the risks and rewards associated with the VIE is deemed its primary beneficiary and must consolidate the entity.

 

EmCare entered into an agreement in 2011 with an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of HCA Holdings Inc. to form an entity which would provide physician services to various healthcare facilities (“HCA-EmCare JV”). HCA-EmCare JV began providing services to healthcare facilities during the first quarter of 2012 and meets the definition of a VIE. The Company determined that, although EmCare only holds 50% voting control, EmCare is the primary beneficiary and must consolidate this VIE because:

 

·                  EmCare provides management services to HCA-EmCare JV including recruiting, credentialing, scheduling, billing, payroll, accounting and other various administrative services and therefore substantially all of HCA-EmCare JV’s activities involve EmCare; and

 

·                  as payment for management services, EmCare is entitled to receive a base management fee from HCA-EmCare JV as well as a bonus management fee.

 

The following is a summary of the HCA-EmCare JV assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2012, which are included in the consolidated financial statements. There were no balances in the HCA-EmCare JV as of December 31, 2011.

12.       Segment Information

 

The Company is organized around two separately managed business units: outsourced facility-based physician services and medical transportation services, which have been identified as operating segments. The facility-based physician services reportable segment provides physician services to hospitals primarily for emergency departments and urgent care centers, as well as for hospitalist/inpatient, radiology, teleradiology and anesthesiology services. The medical transportation services reportable segment focuses on providing a full range of medical transportation services from basic patient transit to the most advanced emergency care and pre-hospital assistance. The Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) as he assesses the performance of the business units and decides how to allocate resources to the business units.

 

Net income (loss) attributable to EMSC before equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiary, income tax expense, interest and other income (expense), loss on early debt extinguishment, realized gain (loss) on investments, interest expense, equity-based compensation, related party management fees, restructuring charges, depreciation and amortization expense, and net income attributable to noncontrolling interest (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is the measure of profit and loss that the CODM uses to assess performance, measure liquidity and make decisions. The Company modified the definition of Adjusted EBITDA following the Merger. The accounting policies for reported segments are the same as for the Company as a whole.

13.                 Guarantors of Debt

 

EMSC is the issuer of the senior unsecured notes and the borrower under the Credit Facilities. The senior unsecured notes and the Credit Facilities are guaranteed by each of EMSC’s domestic subsidiaries, except for any subsidiaries subject to regulation as an insurance company, including EMSC’s captive insurance subsidiary. All of the operating income and cash flow of EMSC is generated by AMR, EmCare and their subsidiaries. As a result, funds necessary to meet the debt service obligations under the senior unsecured notes and the Credit Facilities are provided by the distributions or advances from the subsidiary companies, AMR and EmCare. Investments in subsidiary operating companies are accounted for on the equity method. Accordingly, entries necessary to consolidate EMSC and all of its subsidiaries are reflected in the Eliminations/Adjustments column. Separate complete financial statements of EMSC and subsidiary guarantors would not provide additional material information that would be useful in assessing the financial composition of EMSC or the subsidiary guarantors.

 

EMSC’s payment obligations under the senior unsecured notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the guarantors. Each of the guarantors is wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by EMSC, and all guarantees are full and unconditional. A guarantor will be released from its obligations under its guarantee under certain customary circumstances, including (i) the sale or disposition of the guarantor, (ii) the release of the guarantor from all of its obligations under all guarantees related to any indebtedness of EMSC, (iii) the merger or consolidation of the guarantor as specified in the indenture governing the senior unsecured notes, (iv) the guarantor becomes an unrestricted subsidiary, (v) the defeasance of EMSC’s obligations under the indenture governing the senior unsecured notes or (vi) the payment in full of the principal amount of the senior unsecured notes.

 

The condensed consolidating financial statements for EMSC, the guarantors and the non-guarantors are as follows:

14.         Subsequent Events

 

The Company’s management has evaluated events subsequent to June 30, 2012 through the issuance date of this report to identify any necessary changes to the consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.  Below is a description of events for which disclosure was deemed necessary.

 

On August 7, 2012, EmCare received a subpoena from the OIG.  The subpoena requests copies of documents for the period from January 1, 2007 through the present and appears to primarily be focused on EmCare’s contracts for services at hospitals that are affiliated with Health Management Associates, Inc. The Company intends to cooperate with the government during its investigation and, as such, is in the process of gathering responsive documents, formulating a written response to the subpoena and is seeking to engage in a meaningful dialogue with the relevant government representatives. At this time, the Company is unable to determine the potential impact, if any, that will result from this investigation.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Forward-Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Results

 

Certain statements and information herein may be deemed to be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements relating to our objectives, plans and strategies, and all statements (other than statements of historical facts) that address activities, events or developments that we intend, expect, project, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future. Any forward-looking statements herein are made as of the date this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and EMSC undertakes no duty to update or revise any such statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Important factors that could cause actual results, developments and business decisions to differ materially from forward-looking statements are described in EMSC’s filings with the SEC from time to time, including in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in EMSC’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Among the factors that could cause future results to differ materially from those provided in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are: the impact on our revenue of changes in transport volume, mix of insured and uninsured patients, and third party reimbursement rates and methods; the adequacy of our insurance coverage and insurance reserves; potential penalties or changes to our operations if we fail to comply with extensive and complex government regulation of our industry; the impact of changes in the healthcare industry; our ability to recruit and retain qualified physicians and other healthcare professionals, and enforce our non-compete agreements with our physicians; our ability to generate cash flow to service our debt obligations; the cost of capital expenditures to maintain and upgrade our vehicle fleet and medical equipment; the loss of one or more members of our senior management team; the outcome of government investigations of certain of our business practices; our ability to successfully restructure our operations to comply with future changes in government regulation; the loss of existing contracts and the accuracy of our assessment of costs under new contracts; the high level of competition in our industry; our ability to maintain or implement complex information systems; our ability to implement our business strategy; our ability to successfully integrate strategic acquisitions; our ability to comply with the terms of our settlement agreements with the government; the risk that the benefits from the Merger, and related transactions may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; and risks related to other factors discussed in the Quarterly Report.

 

Words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “continues,” “estimates,” “expects,” “goal,” “objectives,” “intends,” “may,” “opportunity,” “plans,” “potential,” “near-term,” “long-term,” “projections,” “assumptions,” “projects,” “guidance,” “forecasts,” “outlook,” “target,” “trends,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “will” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. We qualify any forward-looking statements entirely by these cautionary factors.

 

All references to “we”, “our”, “us”, or “EMSC”, refer to Emergency Medical Services Corporation and its subsidiaries. Our business is conducted primarily through two operating subsidiaries, EmCare Holdings Inc., or EmCare, and American Medical Response, Inc., or AMR.

 

This Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with EMSC’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 16, 2012.

 

Healthcare Reform

 

As currently enacted, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or PPACA, changes how health care services are delivered and reimbursed, and increases access to health insurance benefits for the uninsured and underinsured population in the United States. On June 28, 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the individual mandate provisions of the PPACA, but struck down the provisions that would have allowed the Department of Health and Human Services to penalize states that do not implement Medicaid expansion provisions through the loss of existing federal Medicaid funding.  It is unclear how many states will decline to implement the Medicaid expansion.  Modification or repeal of the PPACA has become a campaign theme for many of the Presidential and Congressional candidates seeking election in 2012.  While the current PPACA law would increase the likelihood of more people in the U.S. with access to health insurance benefits, we cannot quantify or predict with any certainty the likely impact of the PPACA on our business model, financial condition or result of operations.

 

Company Overview

 

We are a leading provider of outsourced facility-based physician services and medical transportation services in the United States. We operate our business and market our services under the EmCare and AMR brands. EmCare, over its 40 years of operating history, is a leading provider of physician services in the United States based on number of contracts with hospitals and affiliated physician groups. Through EmCare, we provide facility-based physician services for emergency departments, anesthesiology, hospitalist/inpatient, radiology, teleradiology and surgery staffing, and other management services. AMR, over its nearly 55 years of operating history, is a leading provider of ground and fixed-wing ambulance services in the United States based on net revenue and number of transports.

 

On May 25, 2011, the Company merged with affiliates of Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC, or CD&R. This transaction is referred to in this Quarterly Report as the “Merger”. See “Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for details related to the Merger.

 

EMSC applied business combination accounting to the opening balance sheet and results of operations on May 25, 2011 as the Merger occurred at the close of business on May 24, 2011. The business combination adjustments had a material impact on the Successor periods presented, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and the period from May 25, 2011 through June 30, 2011, due most significantly to the amortization of intangible assets and interest expense and will have a material

impact on future earnings. Initial adjustments to allocate the acquisition consideration to fixed assets and identifiable intangible assets were recorded in the third and fourth quarters of 2011 based on a valuation report from a third party valuation firm. The Company finalized its business combination accounting during the first quarter of 2012 with adjustments related to goodwill allocations between segments.

 

Presentation

 

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are presented for two periods for 2011: Predecessor and Successor results, which primarily relate to the periods preceding the Merger and the period succeeding the Merger, respectively. The discussion in this MD&A is presented on a combined basis of the Predecessor and Successor periods for 2011. The 2011 Predecessor and Successor results are presented but are not discussed separately. Management believes that the discussion on a combined basis is more meaningful as it allows the results of operations to be analyzed to a comparable period in 2012. Items that are not comparable between the two periods presented include depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, interest and other income (expense) and income tax expense, which had significant impacts as a result of the Merger, but are addressed separately in the discussion below.  See Note 1 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

Key Factors and Measures We Use to Evaluate Our Business

 

The key factors and measures we use to evaluate our business focus on the number of patients we treat and transport and the costs we incur to provide the necessary care and transportation for each of our patients.

 

We evaluate our revenue net of provisions for contractual payor discounts and provisions for uncompensated care. Medicaid, Medicare and certain other payors receive discounts from our standard charges, which we refer to as contractual discounts. In addition, individuals we treat and transport may be personally responsible for a deductible or co-pay under their third party payor coverage, and most of our contracts require us to treat and transport patients who have no insurance or other third party payor coverage. Due to the uncertainty regarding collectability of charges associated with services we provide to these patients, which we refer to as uncompensated care, our net revenue recognition is based on expected cash collections. Our net revenue represents gross billings after provisions for contractual discounts and estimated uncompensated care. Provisions for contractual discounts and uncompensated care have increased historically primarily as a result of increases in gross billing rates without corresponding increases in payor reimbursement.

 

The table below summarizes our approximate payor mix as a percentage of both net revenue and total patient encounters and transports for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. In determining the net revenue payor mix, we use cash collections in the period as an approximation of net revenue recorded.

In addition to continually monitoring our payor mix, we also analyze certain measures in each of our business segments.

 

EmCare

 

Of EmCare’s net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2012, approximately 78% was derived from our hospital contracts for emergency department staffing, 11% from contracts related to anesthesiology services, 4% from our hospitalist/inpatient services, 3% from our radiology/teleradiology services, 1% from our surgery services, and 3% from other hospital management services. Approximately 81% of EmCare’s net revenue was generated from billings to third party payors and patients for patient encounters and approximately 19% was generated from billings to hospitals and affiliated physician groups for professional services. EmCare’s key net revenue measures are patient encounters, segregated into emergency

Table of Contents

 

department visits, radiology reads, and anesthesiology and hospitalist encounters and that we weight in certain analyses, net revenue per patient encounter, and number of contracts.

 

The change from period to period in the number of patient encounters under our “same store” contracts is influenced by general community conditions as well as hospital-specific elements, many of which are beyond our direct control.

 

The costs incurred in our EmCare business segment consist primarily of compensation and benefits for physicians and other professional providers, professional liability costs, and contract and other support costs. EmCare’s key cost measures include provider compensation per patient encounter and professional liability costs.

 

We have developed extensive professional liability risk mitigation processes, including risk assessments on medical professionals and hospitals, extensive incident reporting and tracking processes, clinical fail-safe programs, training and education and other risk mitigation programs which we believe have resulted in a reduction in the frequency, severity and development of claims.

 

Our EmCare business segment is less capital intensive than AMR, and EmCare’s depreciation expense relates primarily to charges for usage of computer hardware and software, and other technologies. Amortization expense relates primarily to intangibles recorded for customer relationships.

 

AMR

 

Approximately 87% of AMR’s net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was transport revenue derived from the treatment and transportation of patients, including fixed wing medical transportation services, based on billings to third party payors, healthcare facilities and patients. The balance of AMR’s net revenue is derived from direct billings to communities and government agencies for the provision of training, dispatch center and other services. AMR’s measures for net revenue include transports, segregated into ambulance and wheelchair transports and that we weight in certain analyses, and net revenue per transport.

 

The change from period to period in the number of transports and net revenue per transport is influenced by the mix of emergency versus non-emergency transports, changes in transports in existing markets from both new and existing facilities we serve for non-emergency transports, the effects of general community conditions for emergency transports and the impact of newly acquired businesses and markets AMR has exited.

 

The costs we incur in our AMR business segment consist primarily of compensation and benefits for ambulance crews and support personnel, direct and indirect operating costs to provide transportation services, and costs related to accident and insurance claims. AMR’s key cost measures include unit hours and cost per unit hour (to measure compensation-related costs and the efficiency of our ambulance deployment), operating costs per transport, and accident and insurance claims.

 

We have focused our risk mitigation efforts on employee training for proper patient handling techniques, development of clinical and medical equipment protocols, driving safety, implementation of technology to reduce auto incidents and other risk mitigation processes which we believe have resulted in a reduction in the frequency, severity and development of claims.

 

Our AMR business segment requires various investments in long-term assets and depreciation expense relates primarily to charges for usage of these assets, including vehicles, computer hardware and software, equipment, and other technologies. Amortization expense relates primarily to intangibles recorded for customer relationships.

 

Factors Affecting Operating Results

 

Changes in Net New Contracts

 

Our operating results are affected directly by the number of net new contracts and related volumes we have in a period, reflecting the effects of both new contracts and contract expirations. We regularly bid for new contracts, frequently in a formal competitive bidding process that often requires written responses to a Request for Proposal, or RFP, and, in any fiscal period, certain of our contracts will expire. We may elect not to seek extension or renewal of a contract, or may reduce certain services, if we determine that we cannot continue to provide such services on favorable terms. With respect to expiring contracts we would like to renew, we may be required to seek renewal through an RFP, and we may not be successful in retaining any such contracts, or retaining them on terms that are as favorable as present terms.

Table of Contents

 

Inflation

 

Certain of our expenses, such as wages and benefits, insurance, fuel and equipment repair and maintenance costs, are subject to normal inflationary pressures. Fuel expense represented 13.2% and 11.7% of AMR’s operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and 12.2% and 11.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Although we have generally been able to offset inflationary cost increases through increased operating efficiencies and successful negotiation of fees and subsidies, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to offset any future inflationary cost increases through similar efficiencies and fee changes.

 

Medicare Fee Schedule Changes

 

Medicare law requires the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to adjust the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) payment rates annually based on a formula which includes an application of the Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) that was adopted in the Balanced Budget Act of 1997. This formula has yielded negative updates every year beginning in 2002, although CMS was able to take administrative steps to avoid a reduction in 2003 and Congress took a series of legislative actions to prevent reductions each year from 2004 through 2012. Absent further legislative action by Congress, the reduced MPFS would go into effect on January 1, 2013.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

For a discussion of accounting policies that we consider critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations that affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, please refer to Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies” contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. As of June 30, 2012, there were no significant changes in our critical accounting policies or estimation procedures.

 

Results of Operations

 

Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to the Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 2011

 

The following tables present a comparison of financial data from our unaudited consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 for EMSC and our two operating segments.

 

Non-GAAP Measures

 

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to EMSC before equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiary, income tax expense, interest and other income (expense), loss on early debt extinguishment, interest, realized gain (loss) on investments, interest expense, equity-based compensation, related party management fees, restructuring charges, depreciation and amortization expense, and net income attributable to noncontrolling interest. Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used by management and investors as a performance measure and liquidity indicator. Adjusted EBITDA is not considered a measure of financial performance under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to such GAAP measures as net income, cash flows provided by or used in operating, investing or financing activities or other financial statement data presented in our financial statements as an indicator of financial performance or liquidity. Since Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure determined in accordance with GAAP and is susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The tables set forth a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income and cash flows provided by operating activities.

Quarter ended June 30, 2012 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2011

 

Consolidated

 

Our results for the three months ended June 30, 2012 reflect an increase in net revenue of $20.6 million and an increase in net income of $17.5 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in net income is attributable primarily to an increase in operating income and a decrease in expenses associated with the Merger transaction, offset by increases in interest expense and income tax expense.

 

Net revenue. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, we generated net revenue of $801.1 million compared to net revenue of $780.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, representing an increase of 2.6%. The increase is attributable primarily to increases in rates and volumes on existing contracts combined with increased volume from net new contracts and acquisitions, partially offset by the impact of markets exited.

 

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA was $96.3 million, or 12.0% of net revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $85.6 million, or 11.0% of net revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

 

Restructuring charges. Restructuring charges of $2.7 million were recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2012, related to continuing efforts to re-align AMR’s operations.

 

Interest expense. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $41.5 million compared to $21.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The change was due to the increase in our outstanding debt and effective interest rate associated with the issuance of our new senior subordinated unsecured notes and borrowings under our new credit facilities in May 2011.

 

Income tax expense. Income tax expense increased by $5.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. Our effective tax rate was 44.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2012, 41.8% for the Successor period from May 25, 2011 through June 30, 2011 and 48.4% for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2011 through May 24, 2011. The increased effective tax rate during the 2011 Predecessor period was a result of certain Merger related costs that are not deductible for tax purposes. The increase in our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the 2011 Successor period was primarily a result of certain state taxes which have tax rates not based on pre-tax book income.

 

EmCare

 

Net revenue. Net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $468.9 million, an increase of $51.7 million, or 12.4%, from $417.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase was due to an increase in patient encounters from net new hospital contracts and net revenue increases in existing contracts. Net new contracts since March 31, 2011 accounted for a net revenue increase of $30.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, of which $9.3 million came from net new contracts added in 2011, with the remaining increase in net revenue from those added in 2012. Net revenue under our “same store” contracts (contracts in existence for the entirety of both periods) increased $21.7 million, or 6.2%, for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The change was due to a 3.6% increase in same store weighted patient encounters and a 2.6% increase in revenue per weighted patient encounter.

 

Compensation and benefits. Compensation and benefits costs for the three months ended June 30, 2012 were $363.0 million, or 77.4% of net revenue, compared to $331.8 million, or 79.5% of net revenue, for the same period in 2011. The decrease in compensation and benefits as a percentage of net revenue is driven primarily by increases in patient volumes and lower start-up costs on new contracts.  Provider compensation costs increased $22.1 million from net new contract additions. Same store provider compensation costs were $9.1 million higher than the prior period due to a 3.6% increase in same store weighted patient encounters and a 0.3% increase in provider compensation per weighted patient encounter.

 

Operating expenses. Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2012 were $18.5 million, or 3.9% of net revenue, compared to $14.4 million, or 3.5% of net revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Operating expenses increased $4.1 million due primarily to increased billing and collection fees from our recent acquisitions and organic growth.

 

Insurance expense. Professional liability insurance expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $15.1 million, or 3.2% of net revenue, compared to $15.3 million, or 3.7% of net revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2011. We recorded a decrease of prior year insurance provisions of $0.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to an increase of $1.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $9.7 million, or 2.1% of net revenue, compared to $8.6 million, or 2.1% of net revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

 

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $14.2 million, or 3.0% of net revenue, compared to $8.1 million, or 2.0% of net revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The $6.0 million increase is due primarily to additional amortization expense associated with intangible assets recorded as a result of the Merger.

 

AMR

 

Net revenue. Net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $332.2 million, a decrease of $31.1 million, or 8.6%, from $363.4 million for the same period in 2011. The decrease in net revenue was due primarily to a decrease of 4.6%, or $16.8 million, in weighted transport volume and a decrease in net revenue per weighted transport of 4.0%, or $14.3 million. The decrease in net revenue per weighted transport of 4.0% was due to a 1.2% decrease in our managed transportation business from the exit of certain contracts and a 2.8% decrease in rates due primarily to the net impact of markets entered and exited combined with acquisitions. Weighted transports decreased 34,300 from the same quarter last year. The change was due to an increase of 19,600 weighted transports from acquisitions and an increase of 8,300 weighted transports from our entry into new markets, offset by a decrease in weighted transport volume in existing markets of 3.0%, or 20,600 weighted transports, and a decrease of 41,600 weighted transports from exited markets.

 

Compensation and benefits. Compensation and benefit costs for the three months ended June 30, 2012 were $199.8 million, or 60.1% of net revenue, compared to $227.6 million, or 62.6% of net revenue, for the same period last year. Ambulance crew wages per ambulance unit hour decreased by approximately 2.9%, or $3.5 million, and ambulance unit hours decreased period over period by 5.2%, or $6.5 million, attributable primarily to markets exited combined with the reduction in volume in existing markets. Non-crew compensation decreased period over period by $12.4 million due to net reductions in costs supporting AMR operating markets. Total benefits related costs decreased $5.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 due primarily to the impact from markets exited combined with decreased costs associated with our health insurance plans.

 

Operating expenses. Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2012 were $78.3 million, or 23.6% of net revenue, compared to $87.2 million, or 24.0% of net revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The change is due primarily to decreased costs of $4.4 million associated with the net impact from markets entered and exited combined with recent acquisitions, and a decrease of $5.3 million in operating costs associated with certain contract exits in our managed transportation business.

 

Insurance expense. Insurance expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $12.5 million, or 3.8% of net revenue, compared to $15.4 million, or 4.3% of net revenue, for the same period in 2011. We recorded an increase of prior year insurance provisions of $1.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to an increase of $4.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2011.

 

Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $10.5 million, or 3.2% of net revenue, compared to $9.7 million, or 2.7% of net revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

 

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $16.6 million, or 5.0% of net revenue, compared to $13.9 million, or 3.8% of net revenue, for the same period in 2011. The increase was due primarily to additional depreciation expense associated with adjustments to tangible and intangible assets recorded as a result of the Merger.

 

Six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011

 

Consolidated

 

Our results for the six months ended June 30, 2012 reflect an increase in net revenue of $66.1 million and a decrease in net income of $12.9 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in net income is attributable primarily to increases in interest expense and depreciation and amortization expense, partially offset by a decrease in income tax expense associated with the Merger transaction.

Net revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, we generated net revenue of $1,607.4 million compared to net revenue of $1,541.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, representing an increase of 4.3%. The increase is attributable primarily to increases in rates and volumes on existing contracts combined with increased volume from net new contracts and acquisitions, partially offset by the impact of markets exited.

 

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA was $187.9 million, or 11.7% of net revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $170.6 million, or 11.1% of net revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Interest expense. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $85.0 million compared to $25.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The change was due to the increase in our outstanding debt and effective interest rate associated with the issuance of our new senior subordinated unsecured notes and borrowings under our new credit facilities in May 2011.

 

Income tax expense. Income tax expense decreased by $12.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. Our effective tax rate was 43.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2012, 41.8% for the Successor period from May 25, 2011 through June 30, 2011 and 48.4% for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2011 through May 24, 2011. The increased effective tax rate during the 2011 Predecessor period was a result of certain Merger related costs that are not deductible for tax purposes. The increase in our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the 2011 Successor period was primarily a result of certain state taxes which have tax rates not based on pre-tax book income.

Net revenue. Net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $917.9 million, an increase of $104.1 million, or 12.8%, from $813.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase was due to an increase in patient encounters from net new hospital contracts and net revenue increases in existing contracts. Net new contracts since December 31, 2010 accounted for a net revenue increase of $56.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, of which $28.7 million came from net new contracts added in 2011, with the remaining increase in net revenue from those added in 2012. Net revenue under our “same store” contracts (contracts in existence for the entirety of both periods) increased $47.9 million, or 7.1%, for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The change was due to a 3.4% increase in same store weighted patient encounters and a 3.7% increase in revenue per weighted patient encounter.

 

Compensation and benefits. Compensation and benefits costs for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were $716.9 million, or 78.1% of net revenue, compared to $646.8 million, or 79.5% of net revenue, for the same period in 2011. The decrease in compensation and benefits as a percentage of net revenue is driven primarily by increases in patient volumes and lower start-up costs on new contracts.  Provider compensation costs increased $39.3 million from net new contract additions. Same store provider compensation costs were $23.8 million higher than the prior period due to a 3.4% increase in same store weighted patient encounters and a 1.9% increase in provider compensation per weighted patient encounter. Non-provider compensation and total benefits costs increased by $7.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. The increase is due primarily to our recent acquisitions and organic growth.

Net revenue. Net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $689.5 million, a decrease of $38.0 million, or 5.2%, from $727.6 million for the same period in 2011. The decrease in net revenue was due primarily to a decrease of 3.3%, or $23.8 million, in weighted transport volume and a decrease in net revenue per weighted transport of 1.9%, or $14.2 million. The decrease in net revenue per weighted transport of 1.9% was due primarily to the impact of markets entered and exited combined with acquisitions. Weighted transports decreased 48,700 from the same period last year. The change was due to an increase of 44,700 weighted transports from acquisitions and an increase of 16,100 weighted transports from our entry into new markets, offset by a decrease in weighted transport volume in existing markets of 1.9%, or 26,200 weighted transports, and a decrease of 83,300 weighted transports from exited markets.

 

Compensation and benefits. Compensation and benefit costs for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were $411.8 million, or 59.7% of net revenue, compared to $449.6 million, or 61.8% of net revenue, for the same period last year. Ambulance crew wages per ambulance unit hour decreased by approximately 3.0%, or $7.2 million, and ambulance unit hours decreased period over period by 3.6%, or $9.0 million, attributable primarily to markets exited combined with the reduction in volume in existing markets. Non-crew compensation decreased period over period by $14.0 million due to net reductions in costs supporting AMR operating markets. Total benefits related costs decreased $6.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 due primarily to the impact from markets exited combined with decreased costs associated with our health insurance plans.

 

Operating expenses. Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were $168.6 million, or 24.4% of net revenue, compared to $171.5 million, or 23.6% of net revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The change is due primarily to decreased costs of $2.4 million associated with the net impact from markets entered and exited combined with recent acquisitions, a decrease of $6.1 million in operating costs associated with certain contract exits in our managed transportation business, offset by increased fuel costs of $1.6 million, increased legal fees and settlements of $1.9 million, and an increase in other operating expenses of $1.8 million.

 

Insurance expense. Insurance expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $23.8 million, or 3.5% of net revenue, compared to $27.3 million, or 3.8% of net revenue, for the same period in 2011.

The increase was due primarily to additional depreciation expense associated with adjustments to tangible and intangible assets recorded as a result of the Merger.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our primary source of liquidity is cash flows provided by our operating activities. We can also use our asset-based revolving credit facility, to supplement cash flows provided by our operating activities if we decide to do so for strategic or operating reasons. Our liquidity needs are primarily to service long-term debt and to fund working capital requirements, capital expenditures related to the acquisition of vehicles and medical equipment, technology-related assets and insurance-related deposits.

 

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, cash provided by our operating activities and amounts available under our credit facility will be adequate to meet the liquidity requirements of our business through at least the next 12 months. Our asset-based revolving credit facility, or the ABL Facility, provides for up to $350 million of senior secured first priority borrowings, subject to a borrowing base of $388.8 million as of June 30, 2012. The ABL Facility is available to fund working capital and for general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2012, we had available borrowing capacity of $220.8 million and $129.2 million of letters of credit issued under the ABL Facility.

 

We may from time to time repurchase or otherwise retire or extend our debt and/or take other steps to reduce our debt or otherwise improve our financial position.  These actions may include open market debt repurchases, negotiated repurchases,

 

39



Table of Contents

 

other retirements of outstanding debt and/or opportunistic refinancing of debt.  The amount of debt that may be repurchased or otherwise retired or refinanced, if any, will depend on market conditions, trading levels of our debt, our cash position, compliance with debt covenants and other considerations.  Our affiliates may also purchase our debt from time to time, through open market purchases or other transactions.  In such cases, our debt may not be retired, in which case we would continue to pay interest in accordance with the terms of the debt.

 

During the second quarter of 2012, EMSC’s captive insurance subsidiary purchased and currently holds $15.0 million of the senior subordinated unsecured notes through an open market transaction.

Operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $63.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $105.7 million for the same period in 2011. The decrease in operating cash flows was affected primarily by an increase in trade and other accounts receivable. Accounts receivable increased $42.8 million and $3.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Days sales outstanding, or DSO, increased 3 days during the six months ended June 30, 2012. EmCare’s DSO increased 4 days primarily as a result of new contract starts.

 

We regularly analyze DSO which is calculated by dividing our net revenue for the quarter by the number of days in the quarter. The result is divided into net accounts receivable at the end of the period. DSO provides us with a gauge to measure receivables, revenue and collection activities. The following table outlines our DSO by segment and in total excluding the impact of acquisitions completed within the specific quarter:

Investing activities. Net cash provided by investing activities was $81.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $2,936.9 million for the same period in 2011. The change is due primarily to the purchase of EMSC by CD&R for $2.8 billion in May 2011. Also contributing to the change is reduced acquisition activity during the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 as well as a return of insurance collateral. Acquisitions of businesses totaled $1.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012, which primarily related to a prior year acquisition, compared to $99.5 million during the same period in 2011.

 

Financing activities. Net cash used in financing activities was $154.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to cash provided by financing activities of $2,730.7 million for the same period in 2011. We entered into new credit facilities in connection with CD&R’s acquisition of EMSC which resulted in new borrowings of $2,390.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we also received $887.1 million in proceeds from the Merger. These sources of cash from financing activities were partially offset by $114.0 million in debt issuance costs, $26.2 million in equity issuance costs, and repayment of the Predecessor term loan of $415.0 million related to the Merger. The cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2012 is due primarily to $172.5 million in debt repayments, of which $150.0 million relate to voluntary prepayment of debt in the quarter. At June 30, 2012, there were no amounts outstanding under the ABL facility, however we have issued $129.2 million of letters of credit under the ABL facility.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Our primary exposure to market risk consists of changes in interest rates on certain of our borrowings and changes in fuel prices. While we have from time to time entered into transactions to mitigate our exposure to both changes in interest rates and fuel prices, we do not use these instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

 

We manage our exposure to changes in fuel prices and, as appropriate, use highly effective derivative instruments to manage well-defined risk exposures. As of June 30, 2012, we were party to a series of fuel hedge transactions with a major financial institution under one master agreement. Each of the transactions effectively fixes the cost of diesel fuel at prices ranging from $3.62 to $4.06 per gallon. We purchase the diesel fuel at the market rate and periodically settle with our counterparty for the difference between the national average price for the period published by the Department of Energy and the agreed upon fixed price. The transactions fix the price for a total of 7.2 million gallons and are spread over periods from July 2012 through December 2014.

 

On October 17, 2011, we entered into interest rate swap agreements which mature on August 31, 2015. The swap agreements are with major financial institutions and effectively convert a notional amount of $400 million in variable rate debt to fixed rate debt with an effective rate of 5.74%. We will continue to make interest payments based on the variable rate associated with the debt (based on LIBOR, but not less than 1.5%) and will periodically settle with our counterparties for the difference between the rate paid and the fixed rate.

 

As of June 30, 2012, we had $2,201.7 million of debt, excluding capital leases, of which $1,265.6 million was variable rate debt under our senior secured credit facility and the balance was fixed rate debt. An increase or decrease in interest rates of 0.5%, above our LIBOR floor of 1.5%, will impact our interest costs by $6.3 million annually.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or furnishes under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

Based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures conducted as of the end of the period covered by this Report on Form 10-Q, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the date of their evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a -15(e) and 15d -15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) were effective as of June 30, 2012.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

For additional information regarding legal proceedings, please refer to Note 8, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements included herein, and Note 14 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 16, 2012.

 

On August 7, 2012, EmCare received a subpoena from the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services. The subpoena requests copies of documents for the period from January 1, 2007 through the present and appears to primarily be focused on EmCare’s contracts for services at hospitals that are affiliated with Health Management Associates, Inc. We intend to cooperate with the government during its investigation and, as such, are in the process of gathering responsive documents, formulating a written response to the subpoena and are seeking to engage in a meaningful dialogue with the relevant government representatives. At this time, we are unable to determine the potential impact, if any, that will result from this investigation.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

Other than with respect to the risk factor  below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the “Risk Factors” sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

 

The recent healthcare reform legislation and other changes in the healthcare industry and in healthcare spending may adversely affect our revenue.

 

Almost all of our revenue is either from the healthcare industry or could be affected by changes in healthcare spending and policy. The healthcare industry is subject to changing political, regulatory and other influences. In March 2010, the President signed into law the PPACA, commonly referred to as “the healthcare reform legislation,” which made major changes in how health care is delivered and reimbursed, and increases access to health insurance benefits for the uninsured and underinsured population in the United States. The PPACA, among other things, increases the number of individuals with Medicaid coverage, implements reimbursement policies that tie payment to quality, facilitates the creation of “accountable care organizations” that may use capitation and other alternative payment methodologies, increases enforcement of fraud and abuse laws, and encourages the use of information technology. Many of these changes will not go into effect until 2014 and many require implementing regulations which have not yet been drafted or have been released only as proposed rules.

 

Following challenges to the constitutionality of certain provisions of PPACA by a number of states, on June 28, 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the individual mandate provisions of the PPACA, but struck down the provisions that would have allowed the Department of Health and Human Services to penalize states that do not implement Medicaid expansion provisions through the loss of existing federal Medicaid funding.  It is unclear how many states will decline to implement the Medicaid expansion.  Modification or repeal of the PPACA has become a campaign theme for many of the Presidential and Congressional candidates seeking election in 2012.  While the current PPACA law would increase the likelihood of more people in the U.S. with access to health insurance benefits, we cannot quantify or predict with any certainty the likely impact of the PPACA on our business model, financial condition or result of operations.
