NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Basis of Presentation - ------------------------- The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1999 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in Health Management Associates, Inc's (the Company's) 1999 Annual Report. The interim consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2000 and for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 are unaudited; however, such interim statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of a normal recurring nature) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in its 1999 Annual Report. 2. Use of Estimates - ---------------------- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from the estimates. 3. Earnings Per Share - ------------------------ The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share data): Three months ended Nine months ended June 30, June 30, ------------------ ------------------ 2000 1999 2000 1999 -------- -------- -------- -------- Numerator: Net income $ 43,823 $ 38,757 $128,602 $117,419 Denominator: Denominator for basic earnings per share- weighted average shares 242,078 251,972 241,720 251,843 Effect of dilutive securities- employee stock options 3,839 4,541 3,154 5,391 -------- -------- -------- -------- Denominator for diluted earnings per share 245,917 256,513 244,874 257,234 ======== ======== ======== ======== Basic earnings per share $ .18 $ .15 $ .53 $ .47 ======== ======== ======== ======== Diluted earnings per share $ .18 $ .15 $ .53 $ .46 ======== ======== ======== ======== 7 HEALTH MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATES, INC. NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 3. Earnings Per Share (continued) - --------------------------------- In September 1999 the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program of up to 25 million shares of common stock. On October 14, 1999 the Company executed a share repurchase agreement with an independent third party, whereby the third party agreed to "sell short" 5 million shares of the Company's common stock to the Company. As of October 19, 1999 the 5 million shares were delivered to the Company and became treasury stock. From October 15, 1999 to December 15, 1999, a period of 60 days, the third party covered the "short sale" by buying shares on the open market. On December 15, 1999 the Company reimbursed the third party the cost of the common stock purchased plus a commission plus interest (at LIBOR) on the outstanding balance of funds used to purchase the common stock. The total cost for the purchase of the 5 million shares of treasury stock was approximately $42 million. 4. Acquisition - -------------- Effective July 1, 2000 the Company acquired a 268-bed acute care hospital located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania pursuant to an asset purchase agreement. The consideration totaled approximately $61.5 million, which included $55.3 in cash paid at closing. The cash paid included the purchase of land, buildings and equipment and certain working capital, as well as $1 million to a foundation to fund local charitable activities. The remaining $6.2 million in consideration represents the net present value of a continuing obligation to contribute $1 million annually to the foundation for the next nine years beginning July 1, 2001. The transaction closed on June 30, 2000. The cash used to finance the acquisition was drawn from the Company's unsecured line of credit, and, accordingly, is included in the Company's financial statements at June 30, 2000. 8 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations --------------------- Three months ended June 30, 2000 compared ----------------------------------------- to three months ended June 30, 1999 ----------------------------------- Net patient service revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2000 ("2000 Period") was $391.1 million, as compared to $352.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 ("1999 Period"). This represented an increase in net patient service revenue of $38.6 million, or 11.0%. Hospitals in operation for the entire 2000 Period and 1999 Period ("same hospitals") provided $24.7 million of the increase in net patient service revenue, which resulted primarily from inpatient and outpatient volume increases. The remaining increase of $13.9 million included $15.0 million of net patient service revenue from the May 1999 acquisition of a 167-bed acute care hospital and the July 1999 acquisition of a 204-bed acute care hospital, offset by a decrease of $1.1 million in Corporate and other revenue. During the 2000 Period the Company's hospitals generated total patient days of service and an occupancy rate of 187,273 and 45.3%, respectively, versus 181,338 and 45.1%, respectively, for the 1999 Period. Same hospital patient days and occupancy for the 2000 Period were 163,221 and 44.8%, respectively, versus 159,801 and 43.7%, respectively, for the 1999 Period. Same hospital admissions for the Company during the 2000 Period were 36,406, up 6.4% from the 34,219 admissions during the 1999 Period. The Company's operating expenses (salaries and benefits, supplies and other expenses, provision for doubtful accounts and rent expense) for the 2000 Period were $293.1 million or 74.9% of net patient service revenue as compared to $270.3 million or 76.7% of net patient service revenue for the 1999 Period. Of the total $22.8 million increase, approximately $10.2 million related to same hospitals, which was largely attributable to the increased patient volumes. Another $11.2 million of increased operating expense related to the acquisitions mentioned previously. The remaining increase of $1.5 million represented an increase in Corporate and miscellaneous other operating expenses. The Company's depreciation and amortization costs increased by $3.1 million and interest expense increased by $4.4 million. The increase in depreciation and amortization resulted primarily from the acquisitions mentioned previously. The increase in interest expense was due largely from acquisition related debt. The Company's income before income taxes was $72.1 million for the 2000 Period as compared to $63.8 million for the 1999 Period, an increase of $8.3 million or 13.0%. The increase resulted primarily from same hospital volume increases and the acquisitions mentioned previously. The Company's provision for income taxes was $28.3 million for the 2000 Period as compared to $25.0 million for the 1999 Period. These provisions reflect effective income tax rates of 39.3% for both periods. As a result of the foregoing, the Company's net income was $43.8 million for the 2000 Period as compared to $38.8 million for the 1999 Period. 9 Item 2. Management's discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued) Results of Operations --------------------- Nine months ended June 30, 2000 compared ---------------------------------------- to nine months ended June 30, 1999 ---------------------------------- Net patient service revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2000 ("2000 Nine Month Period") was $1,169.8 million, as compared to $997.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1999 ("1999 Nine Month Period"). This represented an increase in net patient service revenue of $172.1 million, or 17.3%. Same hospitals provided $47.4 million, of the increase in net patient service revenue, which resulted primarily from inpatient and outpatient volume increases. The remaining increase of $124.7 million included $127.2 million of net patient service revenue from the April 1999 acquisition of a 473-bed acute care hospital system, the May 1999 acquisition of a 167-bed acute care hospital and the July 1999 acquisition of a 204-bed acute care hospital, offset by a decrease of $2.5 million in Corporate and miscellaneous revenue. During the 2000 Nine Month Period the Company's hospitals generated 595,296 total patient days of service and an occupancy rate of 47.0%, versus 531,993 and 48.5%, respectively, for the 1999 Nine Month Period. Same hospital patient days and occupancy for the 2000 Nine Month Period were 477,404 and 49.3%, respectively, versus 462,023 and 47.9%, respectively, for the 1999 Nine Month Period. Same hospital admissions for the Company during the 2000 Nine Month Period were 106,282 up 4.5% from the 101,681 admissions during the 1999 Nine Month Period. The Company's operating expenses for the 2000 Nine Month Period were $883.4 million or 75.5% of net patient service revenue as compared to $755.1 million or 75.7% of net patient service revenue for the 1999 Nine Month Period. Of the total $128.3 million increase, approximately $33.1 million related to same hospitals, which was largely attributable to increased patient volumes. Another $92.1 million of increased operating expense related to the hospital acquisitions mentioned previously. The remaining increase of $3.1 million represented an increase in Corporate and miscellaneous other operating expenses. The Company's depreciation and amortization costs increased by $11.0 million and interest expense increased by $14.5 million. The increase in depreciation and amortization resulted primarily from the acquisitions previously mentioned. The increase in interest expense was due largely from acquisition related debt. The Company's income before income taxes was $211.7 million for the 2000 Nine Month Period as compared to $193.3 million for the 1999 Nine Month Period, an increase of $18.4 million, or 9.5%. The increase resulted primarily from same hospital volume increases and the acquisitions mentioned previously. The Company's provision for income taxes was $83.1 million for the 2000 Nine Month Period as compared to $75.9 million for the 1999 Nine Month Period. These provisions reflect effective income tax rates of 39.3% for both periods. As a result of the foregoing, the Company's net income was $128.6 million for the 2000 10 Item 2. Management's discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued) Nine Month Period as compared to $117.4 million for the 1999 Nine Month Period. Liquidity and Capital Resources ------------------------------- 2000 Nine Month Period Cash Flows compared to 1999 Nine Month Period Cash Flows The Company's operating cash flows totaled $132.4 million for the 2000 Nine Month Period as compared to $139.9 million for the 1999 Nine Month Period. The continued positive cash flows from operating activities results from the Company's profitability and management of its working capital. The Company's investing activities used $142.7 million and $277.0 million for the 2000 Nine Month Period and 1999 Nine Month Period, respectively. Hospital acquisitions accounted for the majority of the expenditures in the 1999 Nine Month Period and a large part of the net cash used in the 2000 Nine Month Period. Financing activities provided net cash of $20.7 million for the 2000 Nine Month Period and $136.2 million for the 1999 Nine Month Period. Borrowings under the Company's Credit Agreement for acquisitions and purchases of the Company's treasury stock (principally in the 2000 Nine Month period) accounted for the majority of the change from the 1999 Nine Month Period to the 2000 Nine Month Period. See the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 at page 6 of this Report. Capital Resources During November 1999 the Company closed on a $600 million Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), thereby refinancing and replacing its existing $300 million Credit Agreement (the "Agreement") which expired on November 30, 1999. The Credit Agreement is an unsecured revolving credit loan, comprised of a $150 million 364-day credit loan and a $450 million 5-year credit loan. Similar to the Agreement, the new Credit Agreement permits the Company to borrow under either loan at any time through the respective loan's termination date, at which time all outstanding revolving credit loans become due and payable. Under either loan, the Company may choose a Base Rate Loan (prime interest rate) or a Eurodollar Rate Loan (LIBOR interest rate). The interest rate for a Eurodollar Rate Loan is set at LIBOR plus 1.00 percent, and will increase or decrease in relation to a change in the Company's credit rating. As of June 30, 2000 the outstanding balance was $370 million. The Company also has an annual revolving credit facility with a bank which provides a $15 million unsecured line of credit commitment through December 31, 2000 (increased from $10 million as of March 23, 2000). Interest on the outstanding loans is payable at the bank's Index Rate (prime) less 1/4%. As of June 30, 2000 there were no amounts outstanding under this line. 11 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) The Company is obligated to pay certain commitment fees based upon amounts borrowed and available for borrowing during the terms of both such credit facilities ("Credit Facilities"). The Company's Credit Facilities contain certain covenants which, without prior consent of the banks, limit certain activities of the Company and its subsidiaries, including those relating to merger, consolidation and the Company's ability to secure indebtedness, make guarantees, and grant security interests. The Company must also maintain minimum levels of consolidated tangible net worth, debt service coverage, debt to cash flow and net worth. Effective July 1, 2000 the Company acquired a 268-bed acute care hospital in Lancaster, Pennsylvania pursuant to an asset purchase agreement. The Company borrowed $55 million of cash under its Credit Agreement to close the transaction on June 30, 2000. See also footnote #4 of the Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements at page 8 of this Report. In June 2000 the Company announced the execution of definitive agreements to acquire Pasco Community Hospital, a 120-bed acute care hospital located in Dade City, Florida, and Davis Medical Center, a 149-bed acute care hospital located in Statesville, North Carolina. The Company expects to close on these transactions on or about August 1, 2000 and October 1, 2000, respectively. The total cash required for these transactions is estimated to be approximately $70 million. The Company anticipates using funds available under its Credit Agreement to finance the transactions. At the present time, the Company anticipates that cash on hand, internally generated funds, and funds available under its Credit Facilities will be sufficient to satisfy the Company's requirements for capital expenditures, future acquisitions and working capital. Year 2000 Computer Update ------------------------- As described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1999, the Company had implemented its plan to address possible exposures related to the impact of Year 2000 computer issues on its computer systems, its equipment and third parties with which the Company's systems interface. Since entering the year 2000, the Company has not experienced any disruptions to its business nor is it aware of any significant year 2000-related disruptions impacting its third party payors or vendors. The Company will continue to monitor its critical systems but does not anticipate any significant impacts due to Year 2000 exposures from its internal systems as well as from third parties. Costs incurred to achieve Year 2000 readiness included the use of both internal and external resources. Such costs have been expensed as incurred, and have not had a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. 12 Item 2.
