Viemed Healthcare Announces First Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Viemed Healthcare, Inc. (the "Company" or "Viemed") (TSX: VMD.TO and NASDAQ:VMD), a home medical equipment supplier that provides post-acute respiratory care services in the United States, announced today that it has reported its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Operational highlights (all dollar amounts are USD):

  • Net revenues attributable to the Company's core business for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 were $25.5 million, an increase of $2.7 million or 12% over net core revenues reported for the comparable quarter ended March 31, 2020. Total net revenues for the current quarter were $28.4 million which included approximately $2.9 million for contact tracing services and product sales related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 totaled approximately $1.7 million, compared to $4.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The 2020 quarter included $1.0 million of revenue and $2.5 million of proceeds on used equipment sales related to COVID-19 response sales and services.

  • Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 totaled approximately $5.5 million, a 31% decrease as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2020. A reconciliation of reported non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures can be found in the tables accompanying this press release.

  • The Company had a cash balance of $31.1 million at March 31, 2021 ($31.0 million at December 31, 2020) and an overall working capital balance of $26.4 million ($24.2 million at December 31, 2020). Total long-term debt as of March 31, 2021 was $6.1 million ($6.6 million at December 31, 2020).

  • The Company expects to generate net revenues attributable to its core business of approximately $26.2 million to $27.2 million during the second quarter of 2021. While the Company's COVID-19 response related business has slowed during the current year, the Company is continuing to pursue additional sales and support revenues and estimates second quarter 2021 revenues of approximately $0.5 million to $1.0 million related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Total revenues for the second quarter of 2021 are estimated to be approximately $26.7 million to $28.2 million.

"The first quarter will very likely be the quarter where things began to reopen from the COVID-19 pandemic and I am once again proud of our ability to keep servicing high need patients," said Casey Hoyt, Viemed's CEO. "Our new patient uploads during March were the highest single month since the pandemic began and gave us the ability to grow our core business even with the challenges faced during January and February. We are excited to continue utilizing our new programs along with our traditional sales methods as more healthcare systems open around the country."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release refers to "Adjusted EBITDA" which is a non-GAAP financial measure that does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP. The Company's presentation of this financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, unrealized (gain) loss on warrant conversion liability and stock-based compensation. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA provides helpful information with respect to the Company's operating performance as viewed by management, including a view of the Company's business that is not dependent on the impact of the Company's capitalization structure and items that are not part of the Company's day-to-day operations. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA (i) to compare the Company's operating performance on a consistent basis, (ii) to calculate incentive compensation for the Company's employees, (iii) for planning purposes, including the preparation of the Company's internal annual operating budget, and (iv) to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of the Company's operational strategies. Accordingly, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information in understanding and evaluating the Company's operating performance in the same manner as management. The following table is a reconciliation of net income (loss), the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, to Adjusted EBITDA, on a historical basis for the periods indicated:

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. It is not a measurement of the Company's financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to revenue or net income, as applicable, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other businesses. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's operating results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters the Company considers not to be indicative of ongoing operations; and other companies in the Company's industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
