Team Finance LLC Announces Second Quarter 2009 Results
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – August 10, 2009 – TeamHealth Inc.’s parent company, Team Finance LLC (the “Company”), today announced results for the second quarter of 2009.
Net revenue less provision for uncollectibles (“revenue less provision”) in the second quarter of 2009 increased 7.9% to $362.1 million from $335.5 million in the second quarter of 2008. Same contract revenue less provision for the quarter increased 5.0% to $326.5 million from $310.8 million in the same period a year ago. During the second quarter of 2009, growth in same contract revenue less provision was positively impacted by increases in billed patient volume, which contributed approximately 4.4% of growth between quarters, as well as increases in both estimated collections per visit and contract and other revenue. New sales, net of contracts that terminated in the period, and acquisitions contributed $7.5 million and $3.4 million of growth between periods, respectively. Net earnings increased 64.2% to $15.8 million in the second quarter of 2009, compared to $9.6 million in the same quarter of 2008. Improvements in gross profit percentage and a decrease in net interest expense contributed to the increase in net earnings during the second quarter of 2009. Second quarter 2008 results were also impacted by $1.8 million of transaction costs associated with fees incurred in connection with a terminated acquisition effort.
Net revenue less provision for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased 6.9% to $711.7 million from $665.5 million in the same period of 2008. Same contract revenue less provision for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased 5.0% to $636.2 million from $606.0 million in the corresponding period of 2008. Same contract revenue growth during the six month period benefited from increases in patient volume and estimated collections per visit. New sales, net of contracts that terminated in the period and acquisitions contributed $10.5 million and $5.5 million of growth between periods, respectively. Net earnings increased 53.8% to $41.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $27.1 million, including the transaction costs, in the corresponding period of 2008.
Financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 reflect reductions of professional liability reserves related to prior years of $18.8 million and $13.8 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, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $79.9 million and a revolving credit facility of $110.0 million (without giving effect to $9.0 million of undrawn letters of credit). During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company made scheduled debt payments of $2.1 million. As a result, the Company’s total outstanding debt as of June 30, 2009 was $613.2 million and there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility. Cash flow provided by operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased to $49.4 million compared to $32.2 million for the same period in 2008. Contributing to the increase in operating cash flow between years were an improvement in profitability, a lower level of accounts receivable funding, and a reduction in interest payments during the first six months of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008.
Greg Roth, President and Chief Executive Officer of TeamHealth said, “Through the combination of higher than expected patient volumes and continued diligent management of our cost structure we delivered very strong operating results in the second quarter of 2009. Net revenue less provision increased approximately 8% due to new and acquired hospital staffing contracts and the expansion of existing hospital relationships, while our favorable financial performance was further supported by improvements in our operating leverage and cost margins. In addition, our ongoing focus on working capital management and revenue cycle processes helped to positively impact our operating cash flow that improved both the Company’s liquidity and net leverage positions.
“During a very challenging environment in 2009, we appreciate and value our employees, affiliated physicians and healthcare providers who are helping patients everyday at our client hospitals and ensuring that they receive the highest quality and compassionate clinical care.”
Lynn Massingale, M.D., Executive Chairman of TeamHealth, added, “The financial results for the second quarter and first six months of 2009 demonstrate TeamHealth’s ability to provide outstanding service in a very efficient manner. As the debate over healthcare reform continues in Washington, we believe we are well positioned to serve our patients and hospital clients within a much more complex and demanding environment that mandates even higher levels of accountability and efficiency. The significant and ongoing investments we have made in the areas of risk management, patient safety, information technology, operational efficiency and provider support will help our physicians and client hospitals thrive in a post-healthcare reform era.”

Financial Highlights
Under the indenture governing the Company’s 11.25% senior subordinated notes (the “Notes”), our 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 our 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 Notes is as follows (in thousands):
