Team Finance LLC Announces Second Quarter 2008 Results
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – August 11, 2008 – TeamHealth Inc.’s parent company, Team Finance LLC (the “Company”) today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008.
The Company previously announced the decision to exit the anesthesia management services business line and substantially completed the disposal of this business line during the third quarter of 2007. In accordance with relevant accounting guidance, the results of the anesthesia management business are reported as discontinued operations in the statements of operations for the periods in 2007 presented in this release.
Net revenue less provision for uncollectibles (“revenue less provision”) in the second quarter of 2008 increased 10.8% to $335.5 million from $302.8 million in the corresponding period of 2007. Same contract revenue less provision for the quarter increased by 6.3% to $297.2 million from $279.6 million in the same period a year ago. During the second quarter of 2008, growth in same contract revenue less provision was positively impacted by quarter over quarter increases in contract revenue, estimated collections per visit, and billed patient volume. New sales, net of contracts that terminated in the period, and acquisitions contributed $13.6 million and $1.5 million of growth between periods, respectively. Net earnings increased 27.0% to $9.6 million in the second quarter of 2008, compared to $7.6 million in the second quarter of 2007. Second quarter 2008 results were impacted by $1.8 million of non-recurring transaction costs associated with fees incurred in connection with a terminated acquisition effort. Included in the net earnings for the second quarter of 2007 was a loss from discontinued operations (net of tax benefits) of $0.1 million.
Net revenue less provision for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased 10.2% to $665.5 million from $603.9 million in the same period of 2007. Same contract revenue less provision for
the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased 6.6% to $572.7 million from $537.3 million in the corresponding period of 2007. New sales, net of contracts that terminated in the period and acquisitions contributed $23.6 million and $2.6 million of growth between periods, respectively. Net earnings were $27.1 million, including the non-recurring transaction costs, for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $26.6 million in the corresponding period of 2007. Included in net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was a loss from discontinued operations (net of tax benefit) of $0.3 million.
Financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 reflect reductions of professional liability reserves related to prior years of $13.8 million and $19.6 million respectively. These professional liability reserve adjustments result from the Company’s receipt of revised actuarial loss estimates for these periods during the first quarter of each year.
As of June 30, 2008, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $37.1 million and revolving credit facility borrowing availability of $125.0 million (without giving effect to $7.2 million of undrawn letters of credit). During the six months ended June 2008, the Company made scheduled debt payments of $2.1 million. As a result, the Company’s total outstanding debt as of June 30, 2008 was $629.4 million and there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility. Cash flow provided by operations (after interest, taxes and changes in working capital) for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $32.2 million compared to $29.2 million in 2007.
Greg Roth, President and Chief Executive Officer of TeamHealth said, “We believe our continued growth in both revenue and earnings in the current quarter and the first six months of 2008 is due to our successful execution of the Company’s business strategy. During the second quarter, all of our significant operating areas contributed to our positive financial results. We are especially pleased with the solid performance of our core emergency staffing and management operations and the success of our ongoing new business development efforts. Operating cash flow was strong in the quarter and has increased significantly over the prior reporting periods. We continue to focus our efforts and commit resources to investments and initiatives that will allow TeamHealth to continue to support our affiliated clinicians and hospital customers in delivering outstanding clinical care.”
Lynn Massingale, M.D., Executive Chairman of TeamHealth, added, “In addition to our solid financial results, we are also pleased to report a favorable legislative resolution regarding Medicare physician funding. The recent Congressional action to reverse the potential drastic cut in Medicare
physician payments and provide a modest increase in funding for the remainder of 2008 and into 2009 is an important development. This action provides a level of near term certainty in this critical area of financial support to all physicians that has not been present in some time. In addition to the stability of the base Medicare funding over the next 18 months, this legislation outlined certain financial incentives that are aligned with and further support our existing efforts to continue to improve the efficiency and quality of care provided to patients. We appreciate the significant effort by many of our affiliated physicians and other colleagues that contributed to this positive outcome.”

Financial Highlights
Under the indenture governing the senior subordinated notes, the Company’s ability to engage in certain activities such as incurring certain additional indebtedness, making certain investments, and paying certain dividends is tied to ratios based on Adjusted EBITDA (which is defined as “EBITDA” in the indenture). Adjusted EBITDA under the indenture is defined as net earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to exclude unusual items, non-cash items and the other adjustments shown in the table below. We believe that the disclosure of the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA provides information that is useful to an investor’s understanding of the Company’s liquidity and financial flexibility. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance or liquidity under generally accepted accounting principles. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities, or any other measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Adjusted EBITDA as calculated under the indenture for the senior subordinated notes is as follows (in thousands):
