VITAS



VITAS net revenue was $316 million in the first quarter of 2021, which is a decline of 6.5%, when compared to the prior-year period.  This revenue decline is comprised primarily of a 7.1% decline in days-of-care offset by a geographically weighted average Medicare reimbursement rate increase (including the suspension of sequestration on May 1, 2020) of approximately 2.8%.   Acuity mix shift had a net impact of reducing revenue approximately $9.1 million, or 2.7%, in the quarter when compared to the prior year revenue and level-of-care mix.  The combination of a lower Medicare Cap and other contra revenue changes offset a portion of the revenue decline by approximately 50-basis points.

 

In the first quarter of 2021, VITAS accrued $1.5 million in Medicare Cap billing limitations.  This compares to a $2.5 million Medicare Cap billing limitation in the first quarter of 2020.



Of VITAS’ 30 Medicare provider numbers, 27 provider numbers currently have a Medicare Cap cushion


 

of 10% or greater, one provider number has a cap cushion between 5% and 10%, one provider number has a cap cushion between 0% and 5% and one provider number currently has a fiscal 2021 Medicare Cap billing limitation liability.  This is based on actual Medicare revenue and admissions in the first six months of the Medicare Cap fiscal year.



Average revenue per patient per day in the first quarter of 2021 was $198.95, which, including acuity mix shift, is 2-basis points below the prior-year period. Reimbursement for routine home care and high acuity care averaged $170.14 and $991.77, respectively.  During the quarter, high acuity days-of-care were 3.5% of total days of care, 71-basis points less than the prior-year quarter.



The first quarter 2021 gross margin, excluding Medicare Cap, increased costs for personal protection equipment (PPE), disinfecting facilities and other costs related to operating during the pandemic, was 25.3%.  This is a 123-basis point margin improvement when compared to the first quarter of 2020.



Selling, general and administrative expense was $22.1 million in the first quarter of 2021 and compares favorably to the $22.3 million incurred in the prior-year quarter.  Adjusted EBITDA, excluding Medicare Cap, totaled $58.3 million in the quarter, a decrease of 3.3%.  Adjusted EBITDA margin in the quarter, excluding Medicare Cap, was 18.4%, which is a 66-basis point improvement when compared to the prior-year period.



Roto-Rooter



Roto-Rooter generated quarterly revenue of $212 million in the first quarter of 2021, an increase of $33.7 million, or 18.9%, over the prior-year quarter.



Total Roto-Rooter branch commercial revenue in the quarter totaled $46.9 million, a decrease of 8.4% over the prior year.  This aggregate commercial revenue decline consisted of drain cleaning revenue declining 5.8%, plumbing declining 5.0% and excavation declining 19.5%.  Water restoration increased 8.8%.



Total Roto-Rooter branch residential revenue in the quarter totaled $144 million, an increase of  32.0% over the prior year period.  This aggregate residential revenue growth consisted of drain cleaning increasing 29.5%, plumbing expanding 34.9%, excavation increasing 35.8%, and water restoration increasing 28.7%.



Roto-Rooter’s gross margin in the quarter was 51.9%, a 378-basis point increase when compared to the first quarter of 2020.  Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2021 totaled $56.9 million, an increase of 42.1%.  The Adjusted EBITDA margin in the quarter was 26.9% which is a 439-basis point increase when compared to the prior year.



Chemed Consolidated



As of March 31, 2021, Chemed had total cash and cash equivalents of $210 million and no long-term debt. 



In June 2018, Chemed entered into a five-year Amended and Restated Credit Agreement that consists of a $450 million revolving credit facility. The interest rate on this facility has a floating rate that is currently LIBOR plus 100-basis points.  At March 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $412 million of undrawn borrowing capacity under this credit agreement.



During the quarter, the Company repurchased 100,000 shares of Chemed stock for $44.8 million which equates to a cost per share of $447.67.  As of March 31, 2021, there was approximately $134 million of remaining share repurchase authorization under this plan.




 

Chemed restarted its share repurchase program in 2007.  Since that time, Chemed has repurchased approximately 14.6 million shares, aggregating approximately $1.4 billion at an average share cost of $98.15.  Including dividends over this period, Chemed has returned approximately $1.6 billion to shareholders.



Guidance for 2021



Management anticipates providing updated 2021 earnings guidance in July 2021 as part of the June 30, 2021, earnings press release.



Conference Call



Chemed will host a conference call and webcast at 10 a.m., ET, on Wednesday, April 28, 2021, to discuss the Company's quarterly results and to provide an update on its business.  The dial-in number for the conference call is (844) 743-2500 for U.S. and Canadian participants and +1 (661) 378-9533 for international participants.  The Conference ID is 9096486.  A live webcast of the call can be accessed on Chemed's website at www.chemed.com by clicking on Investor Relations Home.



A taped replay of the conference call will be available beginning approximately 24 hours after the call's conclusion.  It can be accessed by dialing (855) 859-2056 for U.S. and Canadian callers and +1 (404) 537-3406 for international callers and will be available for one week following the live call.  The replay Conference ID is 9096486.  An archived webcast will also be available at www.chemed.com.



Chemed Corporation operates in the healthcare field through its VITAS Healthcare Corporation subsidiary.  VITAS provides daily hospice services to approximately 18,000 patients with severe, life-limiting illnesses. This type of care is focused on making the terminally ill patient's final days as comfortable and pain-free as possible.



Chemed operates in the residential and commercial plumbing and drain cleaning industry under the brand name Roto-Rooter. Roto-Rooter provides plumbing, drain cleaning, and water cleanup services through company-owned branches, independent contractors and franchisees in the United States and Canada. Roto-Rooter also has licensed master franchisees in the republics of Indonesia and Singapore, and the Philippines.



This press release contains information about Chemed’s EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS, which are not measures derived in accordance with GAAP and which exclude components that are important to understanding Chemed’s financial performance. In reporting its operating results, Chemed provides EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS measures to help investors and others evaluate the Company’s operating results, compare its operating performance with that of similar companies that have different capital structures and evaluate its ability to meet its future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. Chemed’s management similarly uses EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS to assist it in evaluating the performance of the Company across fiscal periods and in assessing how its performance compares to its peer companies.  These measures also help Chemed’s management to estimate the resources required to meet Chemed’s future financial obligations and expenditures.  Chemed’s EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We calculated Adjusted EBITDA Margin by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by service revenue and sales.  A reconciliation of Chemed’s net income to its EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS is presented in the tables following the text of this press release.


 

Forward-Looking Statements



Certain statements contained in this press release and the accompanying tables are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words "believe," "expect," "hope," "anticipate," "plan" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement was made. Chemed does not undertake and specifically disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions and involve various risks and uncertainties, which could cause Chemed's actual results to differ from those expressed in such forward-looking statements.



These risks and uncertainties arise from, among other things, possible changes in regulations governing the hospice care or plumbing and drain cleaning industries; periodic changes in reimbursement levels and procedures under Medicare and Medicaid programs; difficulties predicting patient length of stay and estimating potential Medicare reimbursement obligations; challenges inherent in Chemed's growth strategy; the current shortage of  qualified nurses,  other healthcare professionals and  licensed plumbing and drain cleaning technicians; Chemed’s dependence on patient referral sources; and other factors detailed under the caption "Description of  Business by  Segment" or "Risk Factors" in Chemed’s  most recent  report on  form 10-Q  or 10-K and its other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements and there are no assurances that the matters contained in such statements will be achieved.
