Nobilis Health Reports Third Quarter 2016 Financial Results
Reiterates Full Year 2016 Guidance for Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA1 

HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwired -November 7, 2016) - Nobilis Health Corp. (NYSE MKT: HLTH) (TSX: NHC) ("Nobilis" or the "Company") today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016. All financial results are expressed in U.S. dollars.
Third Quarter Highlights
Revenues Increase 34.7% to $70.7 million
Net Loss of $2.8 million, Compared to Prior Period Net Income of $10.9 million
Adjusted EBITDA1 of $4.3 million, Compared to Prior Period of $5.3 million
Cash Increases 25.2% to $19.6 million Compared to Year End 2015
$4.7 million in Additional Incremental Sales, Marketing and Ancillary Expenses
Reiterates Full Year 2016 Guidance for Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA1 
“Nobilis made significant progress in the third quarter both financially and operationally. We continued our strong revenue performance for the year, realizing organic revenue growth as well as growth at the hospitals acquired in 2015,” said Harry Fleming, Chief Executive Officer of Nobilis.
“Our new credit facility, announced in October, significantly strengthens our balance sheet and substantially increases our financial resources, giving us the flexibility we need to help us achieve our acquisition goals. We also made significant progress integrating recently acquired facilities, including the five clinics and four surgery centers acquired as part of our acquisition of ‘Arizona Vein and Vascular Clinics’ and our new Galveston-area surgery center. We remain on track to deliver the full year 2016 financial guidance we previously provided,” continued Harry Fleming, Chief Executive Officer of Nobilis.
Kenneth Efird, President, Nobilis said, “Our third quarter Adjusted EBITDA1 of $4.3 million was impacted by expenses for direct-to-consumer marketing, physician marketing, physician recruitment, and ancillary service line expansion. We deployed in the third quarter a portion of direct-to-consumer marketing expenses budgeted for the fourth quarter. This marketing expense acceleration allowed us to avoid higher fourth quarter premiums for digital online, social media and direct response television expenses, resulting from the U.S. presidential election.
We also increased our physician marketing expense with the recruitment of several new physicians. Finally, we expanded our anesthesia footprint and launched a new laboratory division. These efforts support our strategic growth initiatives and the marketing of our specialty services to hospitals acquired in 2015. These additional third quarter expenses will drive cases in the fourth quarter, our most profitable quarter,” continued Kenneth Efird, President of Nobilis.








Third Quarter 2016 Financial Results
Total revenue for the third quarter of 2016 increased to $70.7 million, a 34.7% increase over the same period the prior year. Total case volume increased by 679 cases, or 15.4%, to 5,097 cases in the third quarter of 2016, as compared to the same period the prior year. Revenue per case increased to $13,256 in the third quarter of 2016, as compared to $11,392 in the same period the prior year, reflecting the impact of a higher acuity case mix performed in hospitals. The increase in total revenue and total case volume in the third quarter compared to the same quarter the prior year was primarily organic growth.
Net loss attributable to Nobilis for the third quarter of 2016 was $2.8 million, or $0.04 per basic and fully diluted share, as compared to a prior period net income attributable to Nobilis of $10.9 million, or $0.15 and $0.14 per basic and fully share, respectively. Net income in the third quarter of 2015 included a $4.4 million bargain purchase gain and a $6.4 million change in fair value of warrants and stock options.
Adjusted EBITDA1 for the third quarter of 2016, which adds back certain non-cash and non-recurring expenses, was $4.3 million, a decrease of 18.3% over Adjusted EBITDA1 of $5.3 million for the same period the prior year.
Total cash was $19.6 million, accounts receivable was $86.2 million and total debt was $23.8 million as of September 30, 2016, compared to $15.7 million, $92.6 million and $22.7 million, respectively, at December 31, 2015.
As of September 30, 2016, the Company owned and/or managed four acute care surgical hospitals and five ambulatory surgical centers, and had affiliations with an additional 36 facilities.
Nine Months Ended 2016 Financial Results
Total revenue for the first nine months of 2016 increased to $183.8 million, a 32.1% increase over the same period the prior year. Total case volume for the first nine months of 2016 increased by 1,385 cases, or 11.0%, to 13,934 in the first nine months of 2016, compared to the same period the prior year. Revenue per case increased to $13,193 for the first nine months of 2016, as compared to $11,093 in the same period the prior year, reflecting the impact of a higher acuity case mix from the purchase of three new hospitals in 2015. The increase in total revenue and total case volume for the first nine months of 2016 compared to the same period the prior year was due primarily to the acquisitions of three hospitals in 2015.
Net loss attributable to Nobilis for the first nine months of 2016 was $2.9 million, or $0.04 per basic and fully diluted share, as compared to net income attributable to Nobilis of $6.0 million, or $0.09 per basic and fully diluted share, in the same period the prior year.
Adjusted EBITDA1 for the first nine months of 2016, which adds back certain non-cash and non-recurring expenses, was $13.2 million, a decrease of 20.5% compared to Adjusted EBITDA1 of $16.6 million for the same period the prior year.
Full Year 2016 Guidance
For full year 2016, Nobilis is reiterating the guidance previously provided on October 28, 2016 when we completed the acquisition of Arizona Vascular Clinics. Full year 2016 total revenues are expected to be $281.0 million, and Adjusted EBITDA1 is expected to be $53.0 million.

1 Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures  
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash compensation expenses, change in fair value of warrant and stock option derivative liabilities, acquisition expenses, bargain purchase gain and non-recurring expenses. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of financial performance required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is an analytical indicator used by management and the health care industry to evaluate company performance, allocate resources and measure leverage and debt service capacity. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows generated by operations, investing or financing activities, or other financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial statements as indicators of financial performance or liquidity. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The third quarter 2015 Adjusted EBITDA of $5.3 million was previously reported as $9.7 million.  Due to recent SEC guidance regarding non-GAAP disclosures, the Company elected to remove the Bargain Purchase Gain previously included in the third quarter of 2015.
