American CareSource Holdings, Inc. Reports 2015 Full Year Financial Results
ATLANTA, March 28, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American CareSource Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:GNOW) (the "Company"), an urgent and primary care company operating under the name GoNow Doctors ("GoNow"), announced today financial results for the year ended December 31, 2015.
The Company’s total net revenues increased from $3.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2014 to $10.0 million, or 157%, for the year ended December 31, 2015. The 2015 results included an entire year of operations for the five urgent and primary care businesses acquired by the Company in 2014, and only 15 days of results from the Company’s December 15, 2015 acquisition of Medac Health Services, P.A. ("Medac"). The Company’s urgent and primary care net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $9.9 million. On a pro forma basis, including the full-year results of Medac, the Company’s urgent and primary care net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $19.2 million. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company and Medac's urgent and primary care net revenue were $9.9 million and $9.3 million, respectively, which comprise all of the pro forma revenue stated above.
Company operating loss from continuing operations increased from $7.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2014 to $12.5 million, or 73%, during the year ended December 31, 2015. Among other things, the increase in operating losses resulted from a variety of events and circumstances the Company views as non-recurring in nature. Such non-recurring expenses include the following: severance charges incurred in the reduction of corporate and clinic-level staff, transaction costs related to the Medac acquisition, cash and non-cash expenses incurred in connection with the unexpected death of the Company’s former CEO, impairment charges incurred to write-down certain underperforming assets, professional services fees paid to (among other things) facilitate the Company’s transition into the urgent and primary care business, costs incurred to relocate the Company’s headquarters from Dallas, Texas to Atlanta, Georgia, recruitment and other professional fees paid in the reconstruction of the Company’s accounting and finance team, costs to integrate the Company’s urgent and primary care centers, and a variety of other non-recurring costs and expenses. In the aggregate, the Company estimates that non-recurring events and circumstances amount to approximately $4. 0 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.
On November 2, 2015, the Company commenced efforts to sell its ancillary network business. As a result, the results for this line of business are presented as a discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and the related asset and liability accounts are presented as held for sale in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015.
Total Company net loss, including the results of the discontinued operations, amounted to $6.8 million, or $(1.06) per diluted share during the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $13.3 million, or $(2.15) per diluted share, during the year ended December 31, 2015.
Management Changes
After the close of the Company’s fiscal year, GoNow’s Board of Directors made several changes in its executive management:
In discussing the Company’s prospects, Adam S. Winger, President and Chief Executive Officer shared the following:
“While we are disappointed with our 2015 results, we are optimistic about the future of our urgent and primary care business. Our new management team is implementing a focused strategic plan that we believe will stabilize the ongoing operations and continue our pathway toward growth in our target geographies. From a growth perspective, we intend to build on the strong momentum we carry forward from 2015.
Growth Prospects
In December 2015, we raised $7.5 million in gross proceeds from an underwritten public offering. We used the majority of those funds to close our asset acquisition with Medac, the 30-year leader in urgent care in Wilmington, North Carolina. We are extremely pleased with Medac’s performance since the closing, and we look forward to expanding the Medac brand in the near future.
While we remain opportunistic with respect to acquisitions, we intend to focus the majority of our expansion efforts and capital on developing new centers in our existing geographies. To facilitate this growth, in March 2016, we announced our entry into a strategic development arrangement with Birmingham-based commercial real estate firm, Harbert Realty Services (“Harbert”). Under the arrangement, we expect Harbert will build and develop up to 10 new GoNow Doctors facilities throughout Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and Florida over the next 12 months. Harbert will pay all costs to acquire the land and construct the facilities according to our plans and specifications in exchange for GoNow’s entry into a long-term lease. We will be Harbert’s preferred urgent care and family medicine tenant, which will confer preferential rights in Harbert’s retail developments.
By avoiding nearly all the front-end capital expenditures, we believe we can open approximately four or five new centers for the same cost it would take to acquire one center. For this reason, we view our arrangement with Harbert as a critical catalyst for our Company’s growth and success, and we look forward to a long-term, mutually-beneficial relationship.
Operating Improvements
In addition to growing our clinic portfolio, we also expect to see significant improvements in the operating results of our existing urgent care centers as we continue to implement several key efficiency measures. Among the actions taken over the past three months to right-size the business are the following:
“We are excited about our future, and we believe the pathway is now clear for significant year-over-year growth in our urgent and primary care business.”
