Third Quarter 2021 Results

For the third quarter of 2021, the Company reported revenue of $493.1 million, an increase of 53.8% from $320.6 million in the third quarter of 2020.

Operating income was $13.1 million, or 2.7% of revenue, in the third quarter of 2021, compared to operating income of $43.3 million, or 13.5% of revenue, in the third quarter of 2020. Loss from continuing operations, net of tax, in the third quarter of 2021 was $7.5 million, or a loss of $0.53 per diluted common share, compared to income from continuing operations, net of tax, of $38.9 million, or $2.51 per diluted common share, in the third quarter of 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA was $44.3 million, or 9.0% of revenue, in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $59.3 million, or 18.5% of revenue, in the third quarter of 2020.

Adjusted Net Income in the third quarter of 2021 was $23.0 million, or $1.63 per diluted common share, compared to $42.0 million, or $2.97 per diluted common share, in the third quarter of 2020.

Comparable Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income for Q3 2020 were recast to show the impact of stock-based compensation and cash settled equity, which the Company is now including for the purpose of these calculations.

The quarter-over-quarter increase in revenue was primarily due to incremental revenue of $109.6 million associated with the acquisition of Simplura. Revenue further increased as a result of higher trip volume in our NEMT business, as the third quarter of the prior year was more heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased in the third quarter of 2021 as compared to the third quarter of 2020 due to higher service expense costs associated with higher utilization and contact center activity. Adjusted EBITDA also decreased as a result of higher corporate general and administrative cost as the Company continued to make investments in its employees and technology.

Matrix Medical Network

For the third quarter of 2021, Matrix’s revenue was $78.5 million, a decrease of 44.2% from $140.7 million in the third quarter of 2020. Matrix had an operating loss of $16.8 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to an operating income of $35.5 million for the third quarter of 2020.

ModivCare recorded a loss of $6.7 million related to its Matrix equity investment compared to an income of $10.3 million for the third quarter of 2020.

For the third quarter of 2021, Matrix recorded Adjusted EBITDA of $2.6 million or 3.3% of revenue, compared to $54.3 million, or 38.6% of revenue, for the third quarter of 2020.

Matrix’s Clinical Solutions business line primarily contributed to the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA. The decrease was due to a significant reduction in COVID-related vaccination and testing revenue. Additionally, Clinical Solutions made significant investments in staffing in anticipation of new business wins within the decentralized clinical trials market. The Clinical Care business line was relatively flat to prior year Adjusted EBITDA, as higher operating costs offset continued double-digit growth in health assessment volumes.

As of September 30, 2021, Matrix had $244.3 million in net debt and ModivCare's ownership interest was 43.6%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Adjustments

In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), this press release includes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the Company and its segments, as well as Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS for the Company, which are performance measures that are not recognized under GAAP. EBITDA is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations, net of taxes, before: (1) interest expense, net, (2) provision (benefit) for income taxes and (3) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA before certain items, including (as applicable): (1) restructuring and related charges, including severance and office closure and professional services costs, (2) certain transaction and related costs, (3) cash settled equity, (4) stock-based compensation, (5) COVID-19 related costs, net of grant income, and (6) equity in net (income) loss of investee. Adjusted Net Income is defined as income from continuing operations, net of taxes, before certain items, including (1) restructuring and related charges including severance and office closure and professional services costs, (2) certain transaction and related costs, (3) cash settled equity, (4) stock-based compensation, (5) equity in net (income) loss of investee, (6) intangible amortization expense, (7) COVID-19 related costs, net of grant income, (8) tax impacts from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"), and (9) the income tax impact of such adjustments. Adjusted EPS is calculated as Adjusted Net Income less (as applicable): (1) dividends on convertible preferred stock and (2) income allocated to participating securities, divided by the diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding as calculated for Adjusted Net Income. Our non-GAAP performance measures exclude certain expenses and amounts that are not driven by our core operating results and may be one time in nature. Excluding these expenses makes comparisons with prior periods as well as to other companies in our industry more meaningful. We believe such measures allow investors to gain a better understanding of the factors and trends affecting the ongoing operations of our business. We consider our core operations to be the ongoing activities to provide services from which we earn revenue, including direct operating costs and indirect costs to support these activities. In addition, our net income or loss in equity investee is excluded from these measures, as we do not have the ability to manage the venture, allocate resources within the venture, or directly control its operations or performance.

Our non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in our industry, as other companies in our industry may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently. In addition, there are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, and exclude expenses that may have a material impact on our reported financial results. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. We urge you to review the reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures included below, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
