ENVISION HEALTHCARE HOLDINGS, INC.

ENVISION HEALTHCARE CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.              General

 

Basis of Presentation of Financial Statements

 

Envision Healthcare Holdings, Inc. (“Holding”) indirectly owns all of the outstanding common stock of Envision Healthcare Corporation (“Corporation”). In June 2013, CDRT Holding Corporation’s name was changed to Envision Healthcare Holdings, Inc. and Emergency Medical Services Corporation’s name was changed to Envision Healthcare Corporation.

 

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements for Holding and Corporation have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim reporting, and accordingly, do not include all of the disclosures required for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements of Holding and Corporation (together the “Company” or “EVHC”) include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the periods presented. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2014. For further information on Holding’s and Corporation’s significant accounting policies and other information, see Holding’s and Corporation’s consolidated financial statements, including the accounting policies and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013, which includes all disclosures required by GAAP, included in Holding’s and Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

On July 29, 2013, Holding effected a 9.3 for 1.0 stock split of Holding’s common stock, resulting in 132,082,885 shares of common stock issued, not including 504,197 treasury shares. The accompanying consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the stock split for all periods presented.

 

On August 13, 2013, Holding’s registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) for an initial public offering of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) was declared effective.  On February 5, 2014, Holding registered the offering and sale of 31,625,000 shares of Common Stock (including shares sold pursuant to the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares) by certain stockholders of Holding at a public offering price of $30.50 per share.  See Note 2 for further information on Holding’s public offerings and its equity.

 

The Company’s business is conducted primarily through two operating subsidiaries, EmCare Holdings, Inc. (“EmCare”), its facility-based physician services segment, and American Medical Response, Inc. (“AMR”), its medical transportation services segment.

 

2.              Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements of Holding include all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Corporation and its respective subsidiaries and affiliated physician groups. The consolidated financial statements of Corporation, include all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including EmCare and AMR and their respective subsidiaries, and affiliated physician groups. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations, financial condition and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements including, but not limited to, estimates and assumptions for accounts receivable and insurance related reserves. Actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Insurance Collateral

 

Insurance collateral is comprised of investments in U.S. Treasuries and marketable equity and debt securities held by the Company’s captive insurance subsidiary that support the Company’s insurance program and reserves.  Certain of these investments, if sold or otherwise liquidated, would have to be replaced by other suitable financial assurances and are, therefore, considered restricted.  These investments are designated as available-for-sale and reported at fair value with the related temporary

Table of Contents

 

unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of deferred income tax.  Declines in the fair value of a marketable investment security which are determined to be other-than-temporary are recognized in the statements of operations, thus establishing a new cost basis for such investment.  Investment income earned on these investments is reported as interest income from restricted assets in the statements of operations.

 

Realized gains and losses are determined based on an average cost basis.

 

Additionally, insurance collateral is comprised of cash deposits with third parties.  Insurance collateral also includes a receivable from insurers of $1.8 million and $1.3 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, for liabilities in excess of the Company’s self-insured retention.

 

Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, net

 

The Company estimates its allowances based on payor reimbursement schedules, historical collections and write-off experience and other economic data. The Company’s billing systems do not provide contractual allowances or uncompensated care reserves on outstanding patient accounts. The allowance for uncompensated care is related principally to receivables recorded for self-pay patients and is not recorded on specific accounts due to the volume and variability of individual patient receivable collections. While the billing systems do not specifically record the allowance for doubtful accounts to individual accounts owed or specific payor classifications, the portion of the allowance for uncompensated care associated with fee for service charges as of December 31, 2013 was equal to approximately 87% and 89% of outstanding self-pay receivables for EmCare and AMR, respectively, consistent with the Company’s collection history. Account balances are charged off against the uncompensated care allowance when it is probable the receivable will not be recovered and to the contractual allowance when payment is received. The Company’s accounts receivable and allowances as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were as follows (in thousands):

Other receivables primarily represent EmCare hospital subsidies and fees, and AMR fees for stand-by and special events and subsidies from community organizations.

 

Accounts receivable allowances at EmCare are estimated based on cash collection and write-off experience at a facility level contract and facility specific payor mix. These allowances are reviewed and adjusted monthly through revenue provisions. In addition, a look-back analysis is done, typically after 15 months, to compare actual cash collected on a date of service basis to the revenue recorded for that period. Any adjustment necessary for an overage or deficit in these allowances based on actual collections is recorded through a revenue adjustment in the current period.

 

AMR contractual allowances are determined primarily on payor reimbursement schedules that are included and regularly updated in the billing systems, and by historical collection experience. The billing systems calculate the difference between payor specific gross billings and contractually agreed to, or governmentally driven, reimbursement rates. The allowance for uncompensated care at AMR is related principally to receivables recorded for self-pay patients. AMR’s allowances on self-pay accounts receivable are estimated on claim level, historical write-off experience.

 

Business Combinations

 

Assets and liabilities of an acquired business are recorded at their fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the acquisition consideration over the estimated fair values is recorded as goodwill. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred. While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions as a part of the acquisition consideration allocation process to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, the estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period any subsequent adjustments are recorded as expense.

Insurance Reserves

 

Insurance reserves are established for automobile, workers compensation, general liability and professional liability claims utilizing policies with both fully-insured and self-insured components. This includes the use of an off-shore captive insurance program through a wholly-owned subsidiary for certain liability programs for both EmCare and AMR.  In those instances where the Company has obtained third-party insurance coverage, the Company normally retains liability for the first $1 to $3 million of the loss. Insurance reserves cover known claims and incidents within the level of Company retention that may result in the assertion of additional claims, as well as claims from unknown incidents that may be asserted arising from activities through the balance sheet date.

 

The Company establishes reserves for claims based upon an assessment of actual claims and claims incurred but not reported. The reserves are established based on quarterly consultation with third-party independent actuaries using actuarial principles and assumptions that consider a number of factors, including historical claim payment patterns and legal costs, and changes in case reserves and the assumed rate of inflation in healthcare costs and property damage repairs. Claims, other than general liability claims, are discounted at a rate of 1.5%. General liability claims are not discounted.

 

The Company’s most recent actuarial valuation was completed in March 2014. As a result of this and previous actuarial valuations, the Company recorded increases in its provisions for insurance liabilities of $5.2 million during the three month period ended March 31, 2014 compared to decreases of $1.2 million for three month period ended March 31, 2013, related to reserves for losses in prior years.

 

The long-term portion of insurance reserves was $151.8 million and $175.4 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

 

Equity Structure and Public Offerings — Holding

 

On August 13, 2013, Holding’s Registration Statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for an initial public offering of its Common Stock. Holding registered the offering and sale of 42,000,000 shares of Common Stock and an additional 6,300,000 shares of Common Stock sold to the underwriters pursuant to their option to purchase additional shares at a price of $23 per share. On August 19, 2013, Holding completed the offering of 48,300,000 shares of Common Stock, at a price of $23 per share, for an aggregate offering price of $1,110.9 million, and the offering terminated. At the closing, Holding received net proceeds of approximately $1,025.9 million, after deducting the underwriters’ discounts and commissions paid and offering expenses of approximately $85.0 million, including a $20.0 million payment to Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC (“CD&R”) in connection with the termination of a consulting agreement with Holding and Corporation (“Consulting Agreement”) which was recorded in the third quarter of 2013 to selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations, see Note 13.

 

Net proceeds from the initial public offering were used to (i) redeem in full Holding’s Senior PIK Toggle Notes due 2017 for a total of $479.6 million, which included a call premium pursuant to the indenture governing the Senior PIK Toggle Notes due 2017 and all accrued but unpaid interest, (ii) pay CD&R the fee of $20.0 million to terminate the Consulting Agreement, (iii) pay $16.5 million to repay all outstanding revolving credit facility borrowings, and (iv) redeem $332.5 million of aggregate principal amount of Corporation’s senior unsecured notes due 2019 and all accrued but unpaid interest. The remaining proceeds were used for general corporate purposes which included, among other things, repayment of indebtedness and acquisitions.

 

On February 5, 2014, Holding registered the offering and sale of 27,500,000 shares of Common Stock by certain stockholders of Holding and an additional 4,125,000 shares of Common Stock, which were sold by investment funds sponsored by, or affiliated with, CD&R (the “CD&R Affiliates”) to the underwriters pursuant to their option to purchase additional shares at $30.50 per share less the underwriting discount.  The CD&R Affiliates, certain executive officers and directors of Holding and certain non-executives were the selling stockholders in the offering.  Holding did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares being sold by the selling stockholders, including any shares sold pursuant to any exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares.

 

Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, insurance collateral, other than current portion of self-insurance estimates, long-term debt and long-term liabilities, other than self-insurance estimates, constitute financial instruments. Based on management’s estimates, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximates fair value as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Concentration of credit risks in accounts receivable is limited, due to the large number of customers comprising the Company’s

 

12



Table of Contents

 

customer base throughout the United States. A significant component of the Company’s revenue is derived from Medicare and Medicaid. Given that these are government programs, the credit risk for these customers is considered low. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its other customers, but does not require collateral to support customer accounts receivable. The Company establishes an allowance for uncompensated care based on the credit risk applicable to particular customers, historical trends and other relevant information. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company derived approximately 27% and 28%, respectively, of its revenue from Medicare and Medicaid, 70% and 68%, respectively, from insurance providers and contracted payors, and 3% and 4%, respectively, directly from patients.

 

The Company estimates the fair value of its fixed rate senior notes based on quoted market prices (Level 1).  The estimated fair value of the senior notes as of March 31, 2014 was approximately $650.7 million with a carrying value of $607.8 million. The Company’s captive insurance subsidiary holds $9.8 million of the senior notes as of March 31, 2014 which has been excluded from the carrying value stated above.

 

Fair Value Measurement

 

The Company classifies its financial instruments that are reported at fair value based on a hierarchal framework which ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring financial instruments at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of instrument and the characteristics specific to the instrument. Instruments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

 

Financial instruments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

 

Level 1—Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. The Company does not adjust the quoted price for these assets or liabilities, which include investments held in connection with the Company’s captive insurance program.

 

Level 2—Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. Balances in this category include fixed income mortgage backed securities, corporate bonds, and derivatives.

 

Level 3—Pricing inputs are unobservable as of the reporting date and reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the fair value of the asset or liability. Balances in this category include the Company’s estimate, using a combination of internal and external fair value analyses, of contingent consideration for acquisitions described in Note 4.

 

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Company’s financial instruments by the above fair value hierarchy levels as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized at the time of service and is recorded net of provisions for contractual discounts and estimated uncompensated care. Fee-for-service revenue represents billings for services provided to patients, for which the Company receives payment from the patient or their third-party payor. Provisions for contractual discounts are related to differences between gross charges and specific payor, including governmental, reimbursement schedules. Provisions for estimated uncompensated care, or bad debt expense, are related principally to the number of self-pay patients treated in the period and are based primarily on historical collection experience to reduce revenues net of contractual discounts to the estimated amounts the Company expects to collect. Subsidy and fee revenue primarily represent hospital subsidies and fees at EmCare and fees for stand-by, special event and community subsidies at AMR.

 

The majority of the patients the Company treats are for the provision of emergency care in the pre-hospital and hospital settings. Due to federal government regulations governing the provision of such care, the Company is obligated to provide emergency care regardless of the patient’s ability to pay or whether or not the patient has insurance or other third-party coverage for the costs of the services rendered. While the Company attempts to obtain all relevant billing information at the time the patient is within our care, there are numerous patient encounters where such information is not available. In such cases, the Company’s billing operations will initially classify these patients as self-pay, with the applicable estimated allowance for uncompensated care, while they pursue collection of the account. Over the course of the first 30 to 60 days after these self-pay patients have been treated, the billing staff may identify the appropriate insurance or other third-party payor and re-assign the account from a self-pay payor classification to the appropriate payor. Depending on the final payor determination, the allowances for uncompensated care and contractual discounts will be adjusted accordingly. For accounts that remain classified as self-pay, the billing protocols and systems will generate bills and notifications generally for 90 to 120 days. If no collection or additional information is received from the patient, the account is written-off and sent to a collection agency. The Company’s revenue recognition models, which are reviewed and updated on a monthly basis, consider these events in determining the collectability of accounts receivable.

 

Net revenue for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 consisted of the following (in thousands):

Healthcare reimbursement is complex and may involve lengthy delays. Third-party payors are continuing their efforts to control expenditures for healthcare, including proposals to revise reimbursement policies. The Company has from time to time experienced delays in reimbursement from third-party payors. In addition, third-party payors may disallow, in whole or in part, claims for payment based on determinations that certain amounts are not reimbursable under plan coverage, determinations of medical necessity, or the need for additional information. Laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs are very complex and subject to interpretation. Revenue is recognized on an estimated basis in the period in which related services are rendered. As a result, there is a reasonable possibility that recorded estimates will change materially in the short-term. Such amounts, including adjustments between provisions for contractual discounts and uncompensated care, are adjusted in future periods, as adjustments become known. These adjustments in the aggregate increased the contractual discount and uncompensated care provisions (decreased net revenue) by approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and decreased the contractual discount and uncompensated provisions (increased net revenue) by approximately $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

The Company provides services to patients who have no insurance or other third-party payor coverage. In certain circumstances, federal law requires providers to render services to any patient who requires care regardless of their ability to pay. Services to these patients are not considered to be charity care and provisions for uncompensated care for these services are estimated accordingly.

 

3.              Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Holding presents both basic earnings per share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS.  Basic EPS excludes potential dilution and is computed by dividing “Net income (loss) attributable to Envision Healthcare Holdings, Inc.” by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock awards were exercised.  The potential dilution from stock awards was computed using the treasury stock method based on the average market value of Holding’s common stock.  The following table presents EPS amounts for all periods and the basic and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding used in the calculation (in thousands, except share and per share amounts).

Holding had a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2013, therefore, the effect of stock awards to purchase common stock of 3,930,872 is excluded from the computations of diluted loss per share since the effect is anti-dilutive.  As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no stock awards of common stock outstanding excluded from the weighted-average common shares outstanding above.

 

4.              Acquisitions

 

2014 Acquisitions

 

The Company completed the acquisitions of Life Line Ambulance Service, Inc., an emergency medical transportation service provider with operations in Arizona, on February 6, 2014 and MedStat EMS, Inc., an emergency and non-emergency medical ground transportation service provider with operations in Mississippi, on March 7, 2014 for total aggregate purchase consideration of approximately $36.2 million paid in cash.

Senior Unsecured Notes due 2019

 

On May 25, 2011, Corporation issued $950 million of senior unsecured notes due 2019 (“2019 Notes”). During the second quarter of 2012, Corporation’s captive insurance subsidiary purchased $15.0 million of the 2019 Notes through an open market transaction and currently holds $9.8 million of the 2019 Notes subsequent to the partial redemption of the 2019 Notes on December 30, 2013.

 

On December 30, 2013, Corporation redeemed $332.5 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Notes of which $5.2 million was held by the Company’s captive insurance subsidiary at a redemption price of 108.125%, plus accrued and unpaid interest of $2.2 million. During the fourth quarter of 2013, Corporation recorded a loss on early debt extinguishment of $38.7 million related to premiums and unamortized debt issuance costs from the redemption of the 2019 Notes.

 

The 2019 Notes have a fixed interest rate of 8.125%, payable semi-annually with the principal due at maturity in 2019. The 2019 Notes are general unsecured obligations of Corporation and are guaranteed by each of Corporation’s domestic subsidiaries,

Table of Contents

 

except for any of Corporation’s subsidiaries subject to regulation as an insurance company, including Corporation’s captive insurance subsidiary.

 

The Company may redeem the 2019 Notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to June 1, 2014, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, plus the applicable make-whole premium. The Company may redeem the 2019 Notes, in whole or in part, at any time (i) on and after June 1, 2014 and prior to June 1, 2015, at a price equal to 106.094% of the principal amount of the 2019 Notes, (ii) on or after June 1, 2015 and prior to June 1, 2016, at a price equal to 104.063% of the principal amount of the 2019 Notes, (iii) on or after June 1, 2016 and prior to June 1, 2017, at a price equal to 102.031% of the principal amount of the 2019 Notes, and (iv) on or after June 1, 2017, at a price equal to 100.000% of the principal amount of the 2019 Notes, in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. In addition, at any time prior to June 1, 2014, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Notes with the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 108.125%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, which it exercised on December 30, 2013 by redeeming $332.5 million in principal amount.

 

The indenture governing the 2019 Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit Corporation’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to: incur more indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares; pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions; make investments; create restrictions on the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends to Corporation or make other intercompany transfers; create liens; transfer or sell assets; merge or consolidate; enter into certain transactions with affiliates; and designate subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. Upon the occurrence of certain events constituting a change of control, Corporation is required to make an offer to repurchase all of the 2019 Notes (unless otherwise redeemed) at a purchase price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any to the repurchase date. If Corporation sells assets under certain circumstances, it must use the proceeds to make an offer to purchase the 2019 Notes at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.

 

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

 

On May 25, 2011, Corporation entered into $1.8 billion of senior secured credit facilities (“Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) that consisted of a $1.44 billion senior secured term loan facility due 2018 (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a $350 million asset-backed revolving credit facility due 2016 (the “ABL Facility”). The Senior Secured Credit Facilities are secured by substantially all of the assets of corporation.

 

Term Loan Facility

 

Prior to February 7, 2013, loans under the Term Loan Facility bore interest at Corporation’s election at a rate equal to (i) the highest of (x) the rate for deposits in U.S. dollars in the London interbank market (adjusted for maximum reserves) for the applicable interest period (“Term Loan LIBOR”) and (y) 1.50%, plus, in each case, 3.75%, or (ii) the base rate, which will be the highest of (w) the corporate base rate established by the administrative agent from time to time, (x) 0.50% in excess of the overnight federal funds rate, (y) the one-month Term Loan LIBOR (adjusted for maximum reserves) plus 1.00% per annum and (x) 2.50%, plus, in each case, 2.75%.

 

On February 7, 2013, Corporation, the borrower under the Term Loan Facility, entered into a First Amendment (the “Term Loan Amendment”) to the credit agreement governing the Term Loan Facility (as amended, the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”). Under the Term Loan Amendment, Corporation incurred an additional $150 million in incremental borrowings under the Term Loan Facility, the proceeds of which were used to pay down the ABL Facility. In addition, the rate at which the loans under the Term Loan Credit Agreement bear interest was amended to equal (i) the higher of (x) LIBOR and (y) 1.00%, plus, in each case, 3.00% (with a step-down to 2.75% in the event that Corporation meets a consolidated first lien net leverage ratio of 2.50:1.00), or (ii) the alternate base rate, which will be the highest of (w) the corporate base rate established by the administrative agent from time to time, (x) 0.50% in excess of the overnight federal funds rate, (y) the one-month LIBOR (adjusted for maximum reserves) plus 1.00% and (z) 2.00%, plus, in each case, 2.00% (with a step-down to 1.75% in the event that Corporation meets a consolidated first lien net leverage ratio of 2.50:1.00). Corporation recorded a loss on early debt extinguishment of $0.1 million related to unamortized debt issuance costs as a result of this modification.

 

The credit agreement governing the Term Loan Facility contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants are limited to the following: limitations on the incurrence of debt, liens, fundamental changes, restrictions on subsidiary distributions, transactions with affiliates, further negative pledge, asset sales, restricted payments, investments and acquisitions, repayment of certain junior debt (including the senior notes) or amendments of junior debt documents related thereto and line of business. The negative covenants are subject to the customary exceptions.

ABL Facility

 

Prior to February 27, 2013, loans under the ABL Facility bore interest at Corporation’s election at a rate equal to (i) the rate for deposits in U.S. dollars in the London interbank market (adjusted for maximum reserves) for the applicable interest period (“ABL LIBOR”), plus an applicable margin that ranges from 2.25% to 2.75% based on the average available loan commitments, or (ii) the base rate, which is the highest of (x) the corporate base rate established by the administrative agent from time to time, (y) the overnight federal funds rate plus 0.5% and (z) the one-month ABL LIBOR plus 1.0% per annum, plus, in each case, an applicable margin that ranges from 1.25% to 1.75% based on the average available loan commitments.

 

On February 27, 2013, Corporation entered into a First Amendment to the credit agreement governing the ABL Facility (as amended, the “ABL Credit Agreement”), under which Corporation increased its commitments under the ABL Facility to $450 million and extended the term to 2018. In addition, the rate at which the loans under the ABL Credit Agreement bear interest was amended to equal (i) LIBOR plus, (x) 2.00% in the event that average daily excess availability is less than or equal to 33% of availability, (y) 1.75% in the event that average daily excess availability is greater than 33% but less than or equal to 66% of availability and (z) 1.50% in the event that average daily excess availability is greater than 66% of availability, or (ii) the alternate base rate, which will be the highest of (x) the corporate base rate established by the administrative agent from time to time, (y) 0.50% in excess of the overnight federal funds rate and (z) the one-month LIBOR (adjusted for maximum reserves) plus 1.00% plus, in each case, (A) 1.00% in the event that average daily excess availability is less than or equal to 33% of availability, (B) 0.75% in the event that average daily excess availability is greater than 33% but less than or equal to 66% of availability and (C) 0.50% in the event that average daily excess availability is greater than 66% of availability.

 

The ABL Facility bears a commitment fee that ranges from 0.500% to 0.375%, payable quarterly in arrears, based on the utilization of the ABL Facility. The ABL Facility also bears customary letter of credit fees.

 

As of March 31, 2014, letters of credit outstanding which impact the available credit under the ABL Facility were $132.5 million and the maximum available under the ABL Facility was $317.5 million.

 

The credit agreement governing the ABL Facility contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants are limited to the following: limitations on indebtedness, dividends and distributions, investments, acquisitions, prepayments or redemptions of junior indebtedness, amendments of junior indebtedness, transactions with affiliates, asset sales, mergers, consolidations and sales of all or substantially all assets, liens, negative pledge clauses, changes in fiscal periods, changes in line of business and hedging transactions. The negative covenants are subject to the customary exceptions and also permit the payment of dividends and distributions, investments, permitted acquisitions and payments or redemptions of junior indebtedness upon satisfaction of a “payment condition.” The payment condition is deemed satisfied upon 30-day average excess availability exceeding agreed upon thresholds and, in certain cases, the absence of specified events of default and compliance with a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0.

 

In the first quarter of 2013, Corporation recorded $5.0 million of debt issuance expense related to the Term Loan Amendment and ABL Amendment.

 

Senior PIK Toggle Notes

 

On October 1, 2012, Holding issued $450 million of Senior PIK Toggle Notes due 2017 (the “PIK Notes”) and used the proceeds from the offering to pay an extraordinary dividend to its stockholders, pay debt issuance costs and make certain payments to members of management with rollover options in Holding. Cash interest accrues on these notes at a rate of 9.25% payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 commencing on April 1, 2013. PIK interest accrues on these notes at a rate of 10.0%. The Holding PIK Notes are Holding’s senior unsecured indebtedness and are not guaranteed by any of its subsidiaries.

 

On August 30, 2013, Holding redeemed all of the PIK Notes at a redemption price equal to 102.75% of the aggregate principal amount of the PIK Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest of $17.2 million. During the third quarter of 2013, Holding recorded a loss on early debt extinguishment of $29.5 million related to premiums and unamortized debt issuance costs from the redemption of the PIK Notes.

8.             Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

 

The Company manages its exposure to changes in fuel prices and interest rates and, from time to time, uses highly effective derivative instruments to manage well-defined risk exposures. The Company monitors its positions and the credit ratings of its counterparties and does not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

 

At March 31, 2014, the Company was party to a series of fuel hedge transactions with a major financial institution under one master agreement. Each of the transactions effectively fixes the cost of diesel fuel at prices ranging from $3.63 to $3.82 per gallon. The Company purchases the diesel fuel at the market rate and periodically settles with its counterparty for the difference between the national average price for the period published by the Department of Energy and the agreed upon fixed price. The transactions fix the price for a total of 1.9 million gallons, which represents approximately 25.2% of the Company’s total estimated usage during the periods hedged, through December 2014.  The Company recorded, as a component of other comprehensive income before applicable tax impacts, an asset associated with the fair value of the fuel hedge in the amount of $0.4 million and $0.7 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.  Over the next 12 months, the Company expects to reclassify $0.4 million of deferred gain from accumulated other comprehensive income as the related fuel hedge transactions mature.  Settlement of hedge agreements are included in operating expenses and resulted in net receipts from the counterparty of $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

In October 2011, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements which mature on August 31, 2015. The swap agreements are with major financial institutions and effectively convert a total of $400 million in variable rate debt to fixed rate debt with an effective rate of 4.49%. The Company will continue to make interest payments based on the variable rate associated with the debt (based on LIBOR, but not less than 1.0%) and will periodically settle with its counterparties for the difference between the rate paid and the fixed rate. The Company recorded, as a component of other comprehensive income before applicable tax impacts, a liability associated with the fair value of the interest rate swap in the amount of $2.7 million and $3.1 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Over the next 12 months, the Company expects to reclassify $2.1 million of deferred loss from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest expense as the related interest rate swap transactions mature.  Settlement of interest rate swap agreements are included in interest expense and resulted in net payments to the counterparties of $0.5 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

11.       Equity Based Compensation

 

Upon completion of Holding’s initial public offering, the previous stock compensation plan (“Stock Compensation Plan”) terminated and the Envision Healthcare Holdings, Inc. 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“Omnibus Incentive Plan”) was adopted pursuant to which options and awards with respect to a total of 16,708,289 shares of Common Stock are available for grant. As of March 31, 2014, a total of 16,607,028 shares remained available for grant under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. Awards under the Omnibus Incentive Plan include both performance and non-performance based awards. As of March 31, 2014, no grants of performance based awards under the Omnibus Incentive Plan had been made. Options are granted with exercise prices equal to the fair value of Holding’s common stock at the date of grant. No participant may be granted in any calendar year awards covering more than 2.5 million shares of Common Stock or 1.5 million performance awards up to a maximum dollar value of $5.0 million. Non-performance based awards vest ratably over five years. Performance based awards vest upon achievement of certain company-wide objectives. All options have 10 year terms.

 

Awards previously granted under the Stock Compensation Plan were unaffected by the termination of the Stock Compensation Plan; however no future grants will be made under the Stock Compensation Plan.

 

A compensation charge of $1.1 million was recorded for shares vested for each of the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

12.       Commitments and Contingencies

 

Lease Commitments

 

The Company leases various facilities and equipment under operating lease agreements.  Rental expense incurred under these leases was $11.3 million and $11.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

The Company also records certain leasehold improvements under capital leases.  Assets under capital leases are capitalized using inherent interest rates at the inception of each lease. Capital leases are collateralized by the underlying assets.

 

Services

 

The Company is subject to the Medicare and Medicaid fraud and abuse laws which prohibit, among other things, any false claims, or any bribe, kickback or rebate in return for the referral of Medicare and Medicaid patients. Violation of these prohibitions may result in civil and criminal penalties and exclusion from participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Management has implemented policies and procedures that management believes will assure that the Company is in substantial compliance with these laws and regulations but there can be no assurance the Company will not be found to have violated certain of these laws and regulations. From time to time, the Company receives requests for information from government agencies pursuant to their regulatory or investigational authority. Such requests can include subpoenas or demand letters for documents to assist the government agencies in audits or investigations. The Company is cooperating with the government agencies conducting these investigations and is providing requested information to the government agencies. Other than the proceedings described below, management believes that the outcome of any of these investigations would not have a material adverse effect on the Company.

 

Like other ambulance companies, AMR has provided discounts to its healthcare facility customers (nursing homes and hospitals) in certain circumstances. The Company has attempted to comply with applicable law where such discounts are provided. During the first quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company was advised by the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) that it was investigating certain business practices at AMR. The specific practices at issue were (i) whether ambulance transports involving Medicare eligible patients complied with the “medical necessity” requirement imposed by Medicare regulations, (ii) whether patient signatures, when required, were properly obtained from Medicare eligible patients, and (iii) whether discounts in violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute were provided by AMR in exchange for referrals involving Medicare eligible patients. In connection with the third issue, the government alleged that certain of AMR’s hospital and nursing home contracts in effect in Texas in periods prior to 2002 contained discounts in violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute. The Company negotiated a settlement with the government pursuant to which the Company paid $9 million and obtained a release of all claims related to such conduct alleged to have occurred in Texas in periods prior to 2002. In connection with the settlement, AMR entered into a Corporate Integrity Agreement (“CIA”) which was effective for a period of five years beginning September 12, 2006, and which was released in February 2012.

In December 2006, AMR received a subpoena from the DOJ. The subpoena requested copies of documents for the period from January 2000 through the present. The subpoena required AMR to produce a broad range of documents relating to the operations of certain AMR affiliates in New York. The Company produced documents responsive to the subpoena. The government identified claims for reimbursement that the government believes lack support for the level billed, and invited the Company to respond to the identified areas of concern. The Company reviewed the information provided by the government and provided its response. On May 20, 2011, AMR entered into a settlement agreement with the DOJ and a CIA with the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services (“OIG”) in connection with this matter. Under the terms of the settlement, AMR paid $2.7 million to the federal government. In connection with the settlement, the Company entered into a CIA with a five- year period beginning May 20, 2011. Pursuant to this CIA, the Company is required to maintain a compliance program, which includes, among other elements, the appointment of a compliance officer and committee, training of employees nationwide, safeguards for its billing operations as they relate to services provided in New York, including specific training for operations and billing personnel providing services in New York, review by an independent review organization and reporting of certain reportable events. The Company entered into the settlement in order to avoid the uncertainties of litigation, and has not admitted any wrongdoing. In May 2013, a subsidiary of the Company entered into an agreement to divest substantially all the assets underlying AMR’s services in New York, although the obligations of the Company’s compliance program will remain in effect following the expected divestiture. The divesture was completed on July 1, 2013.

 

In July 2011, AMR received a subpoena from the Civil Division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California (“USAO”) seeking certain documents concerning AMR’s provision of ambulance services within the City of Riverside, California. The USAO indicated that it, together with the OIG, was investigating whether AMR violated the federal False Claims Act and/or the federal Anti-Kickback Statute in connection with AMR’s provision of ambulance transport services within the City of Riverside. The California Attorney General’s Office conducted a parallel state investigation for possible violations of the California False Claims Act. In December 2012, AMR was notified that both investigations were concluded and that the agencies had closed the matter. There were no findings made against AMR, and the closure of the matter did not require any payments from AMR.

 

Letters of Credit

 

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had $132.5 million in outstanding letters of credit.

 

Other Legal Matters

 

Four different lawsuits purporting to be class actions have been filed against AMR and certain subsidiaries in California alleging violations of California wage and hour laws. On April 16, 2008, Laura Bartoni commenced a suit in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Alameda; on July 8, 2008, Vaughn Banta filed suit in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles; on January 22, 2009, Laura Karapetian filed suit in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, and on March 11, 2010, Melanie Aguilar filed suit in Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles. The Banta, Aguilar and Karapetian cases have been coordinated in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Los Angeles, and the Aguilar and Karapetian cases have subsequently been consolidated into a single action. Plaintiffs allege principally that the AMR entities failed to pay overtime wages pursuant to California law, and failed to provide required meal breaks, rest breaks or pay premium compensation for missed breaks. Plaintiffs are seeking to certify the classes and are seeking lost wages, penalties, attorneys’ fees and other sanctions permitted under California law for violations of wage hour laws. At the present time, the courts have not certified classes in any of these cases. In a hearing on February 25, 2014 in the Banta and Aguilar/Karapetian cases, the court indicated that it intends to certify classes on some issues, and deny certification on some issues, but is has not signed an order to such effect. The Company is unable at this time to estimate the amount of potential damages, if any in any of these actions.

 

Merion Capital, L.P. (“Merion”), a former stockholder of Corporation, filed an action in the Delaware Court of Chancery on June 20, 2011 seeking to exercise its right to appraisal of its holdings in Corporation prior to the merger of Corporation with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holding (the “Merger”) on May 25, 2011. During the first quarter of 2013, the Company expensed $8.4 million of legal settlement costs and $1.9 million of interest. On April 15, 2013, the Company paid $52.1 million in a settlement of Merion’s appraisal action, in which Merion agreed to release its claims against the Company.

 

On August 7, 2012, EmCare received a subpoena from the OIG requesting copies of documents for the period from January 1, 2007 through the present that appears to primarily be focused on EmCare’s contracts for services at hospitals that are affiliated with Health Management Associates, Inc. (“HMA”). The Company has been cooperating with the government during its investigation and, as such, continues to gather responsive documents. During the months of December 2013 and January 2014, several lawsuits filed by whistleblowers on behalf of the federal and certain state governments against HMA have been unsealed;

 

23



Table of Contents

 

the Company is a named defendant in two of these lawsuits. Although the federal government intervened in these lawsuits in connection with certain of the allegations against HMA, the federal government has not, at this time, disclosed whether it will intervene in these matters as they relate to the Company. The Company continues to engage in meaningful dialogue with the relevant government representatives and, at this time, the Company is unable to determine the potential impact, if any, that will result from this investigation.

 

On February 5, 2013, Air Ambulance Specialists, Inc. received a subpoena from the Federal Aviation Administration seeking certain information from the Company relating to its operations as an indirect air carrier and its relationships with Part 135 direct air carriers. The Company responded to the subpoena in February 2013. The Federal Aviation Administration has made no further inquiries of the Company and the Company believes this matter is closed.

 

On February 14, 2013, EmCare received a subpoena from the OIG requesting documents and other information relating to EmCare’s relationship with Community Health Services, Inc. (“CHS”). The Company is cooperating with the government during its investigation, has provided responsive documents, and is engaged in a meaningful dialogue with the relevant government representatives regarding additional requests. At this time, the Company is unable to determine the potential impact, if any, that will result from these investigations.

 

In November 2013, AMR received a subpoena from the New Hampshire Department of Insurance directed to American Medical Response of Massachusetts, Inc. The subpoena requested documents relating to ambulance services provided to approximately 150 patients residing in the state of New Hampshire who had been involved in motor vehicle accidents and who were ultimately transported by AMR. In addition, the subpoena requested information relating to any agreements for reimbursement between AMR and Progressive Insurance. The Company is cooperating with the Department during its investigation and, as such, is in the process of gathering responsive documents, formulating a response to the subpoena, and is seeking to engage in a meaningful dialogue with the relevant New Hampshire Department of Insurance and Attorney General’s Office representatives. At this time, the Company is unable to determine the potential impact, if any, that will result from this investigation.

 

The Company is involved in other litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes the outcome of these legal proceedings will not have a material adverse impact on its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Indemnification Agreements

 

In connection with the closing of the Merger, Holding and Corporation entered into separate indemnification agreements with CD&R and CD&R Affiliates (the “CD&R Entities”).  Under the indemnification agreement with the CD&R Entities, Holding and Corporation, subject to certain limitations, jointly and severally agreed to indemnify the CD&R Entities and certain of their affiliates against certain liabilities arising out of performance of the Consulting Agreement and certain other claims and liabilities.

 

Other

14.       Variable Interest Entities

 

GAAP requires the assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests and activities of Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) to be consolidated if an entity’s interest in the VIE has specific characteristics including: voting rights not proportional to ownership

 

25



Table of Contents

 

and the right to receive a majority of expected income or absorb a majority of expected losses. In addition, the entity exposed to the majority of the risks and rewards associated with the VIE is deemed its primary beneficiary and must consolidate the entity.

 

EmCare entered into an agreement in 2011 with an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of HCA Holdings Inc. to form an entity which would provide physician services to various healthcare facilities (“HCA-EmCare JV”). HCA-EmCare JV began providing services to healthcare facilities during the first quarter of 2012 and meets the definition of a VIE. The Company determined that, although EmCare only holds 50% voting control, EmCare is the primary beneficiary and must consolidate this VIE because:

 

·                  EmCare provides management services to HCA-EmCare JV including recruiting, credentialing, scheduling, billing, payroll, accounting and other various administrative services and therefore substantially all of HCA-EmCare JV’s activities involve EmCare; and

 

·                  as payment for management services, EmCare is entitled to receive a base management fee from HCA-EmCare JV as well as a bonus management fee.

 

The following is a summary of the HCA-EmCare JV assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, which are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements (in thousands).

15.       Segment Information

 

The Company is organized around two separately managed business units: facility- based physician services and medical transportation services, which have been identified as operating segments. The facility-based physician services reportable segment provides physician services to hospitals primarily for emergency department, anesthesiology, hospitalist/inpatient, radiology, teleradiology and surgery services. It also offers physician-led care management solutions outside the hospital. The medical transportation services reportable segment focuses on providing a full range of medical transportation services from basic patient transit to the most advanced emergency care and pre-hospital assistance. The Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) as he assesses the performance of the business units and decides how to allocate resources to the business units.

 

Net income (loss) before equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiary, income taxes, loss on early debt extinguishment, other income (expense), net, realized gains (losses) on investments, interest expense, equity-based compensation expense, related party management fees, restructuring charges, and depreciation and amortization expense (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is the measure of profit and loss that the CODM uses to assess performance, measure liquidity and make decisions. Adjusted EBITDA is not considered a measure of financial performance under GAAP and the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to such GAAP measures as net income, cash flows provided by or used in operating, investing or financing activities or other financial statement data presented in the Company’s financial statements as an indicator of financial performance or liquidity. Since Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure determined to be in accordance with GAAP and is susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Pre-tax income from continuing operations represents net revenue less direct operating expenses incurred within the operating segments. The accounting policies for reported segments are the same as for the Company as a whole (see Note 2).

16.       Guarantors of Debt

 

Corporation is the issuer of the 2019 Notes and the borrower under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The 2019 Notes and the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are guaranteed by each of Corporation’s domestic subsidiaries, except for any subsidiaries subject to regulation as an insurance company, including Corporation’s captive insurance subsidiary. All of the operating income and cash flow of Corporation is generated by EmCare, AMR and their subsidiaries. As a result, funds necessary to meet the debt service obligations under the 2019 Notes and the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are provided by the distributions or advances from the subsidiary companies, EmCare and AMR. Investments in subsidiary operating companies are accounted for on the equity method. Accordingly, entries necessary to consolidate Corporation and all of its subsidiaries are reflected in the Eliminations/Adjustments column. Separate complete financial statements of Corporation and subsidiary guarantors would not provide additional material information that would be useful in assessing the financial composition of Corporation or the subsidiary guarantors.

 

Corporation’s payment obligations under the 2019 Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the guarantors. Each of the guarantors is wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by Corporation, and all guarantees are full and unconditional. A guarantor will be released from its obligations under its guarantee under certain customary circumstances, including (i) the sale or disposition of the guarantor, (ii) the release of the guarantor from all of its obligations under all guarantees related to any indebtedness of Corporation, (iii) the merger or consolidation of the guarantor as specified in the indenture governing the 2019 Notes, (iv) the guarantor becomes an unrestricted subsidiary, (v) the defeasance of Corporation’s obligations under the indenture governing the 2019 Notes or (vi) the payment in full of the principal amount of the 2019 Notes.

 

The condensed consolidating financial statements for Corporation, the guarantors and the non-guarantors were as follows (in thousands):
