"We're pleased to announce strong Q3 2023 results, highlighted by adjusted EBITDA of $51 million, $54 million of cash flow from operations, and $45 million of free cash flow," said L. Heath Sampson, President and CEO. "We have addressed internal inefficiencies in our operations and are now leveraging new technologies to deliver high quality care at a lower cost. The net result can be seen in our strong profitability and cash flow this quarter, which enabled us to reduce our outstanding revolver balance by one-third and improved our leverage ratio. Since taking on the role of CEO a year ago, our transformation has been comprehensive. We've initiated foundational shifts in our operating model, transitioning to a more unified, customer-centric strategy. While making these pivotal investments, we've maintained focus on our balance sheet. By generating cash, we aim to demonstrate to the market that our platform is not only resilient in the face of short-term challenges but also well-positioned for sustainable growth and margin expansion."

Mr. Sampson continued, "In our NEMT business, we've achieved meaningful operational improvements, including a notable sequential uptick in our margins. While navigating near-term complexities like Medicaid redetermination, we've excelled in customer service level agreements, leading to significant new contract wins. Our personal care services segment has made rapid strides in 2023, setting the stage for improved growth and margins in 2024. Our remote patient monitoring segment continues to grow with high margins and acts as a digital gateway for members to access care. When integrated with our NEMT and personal care services, we can unlock unique customer value and diversify our revenue streams. In summary, our transformation is not merely aspirational; it's a tangible reality that is driving measurable outcomes and positioning us for long-term success. I want to extend my deepest gratitude to our dedicated team, many of whom are managing multiple change-oriented roles in addition to their core responsibilities."

Third Quarter 2023 Results

For the third quarter of 2023, the Company reported $686.9 million in revenue, a 6.0% increase from $647.8 million in the third quarter of 2022. The revenue growth was driven by a 9.7% increase in total paid trips in our NEMT segment coupled with a 2.3% increase in hours worked and a 3.9% increase in rate per hour in our personal care services segment, partially offset by a 3.6% decrease in revenue per paid trip in our NEMT segment.

Our operating income was $12.0 million, or 1.8% of revenue, in the third quarter of 2023, compared to operating income of $12.4 million, or 1.9% of revenue, in the third quarter of 2022. Net loss in the third quarter of 2023 was $4.3 million, or $0.30 per diluted common share, compared to net loss of $28.5 million, or $2.03 per diluted common share, in the third quarter of 2022. While our operating income remained relatively flat period over period, the net loss in 2022 is higher due to our allocated percentage of a one-time impairment taken at our Matrix investment.

Adjusted EBITDA was $51.3 million, or 7.5% of revenue, in the third quarter of 2023, compared to $51.8 million, or 8.0% of revenue, in the third quarter of 2022. Our Adjusted EBITDA was largely consistent, primarily related to a $4.1 million decrease in adjusted EBITDA at our NEMT segment, offset by a $4.1 million increase in adjusted EBITDA at our corporate segment. The NEMT segment's decrease was driven by increased payroll and other expense per trip and higher than expected trip volume. Accordingly, adjusted net income in the third quarter of 2023 was $20.5 million, or $1.44 per diluted common share, compared to $22.7 million, or $1.61 per diluted common share, in the third quarter of 2022.

Cash generated from operations during the quarter was $53.5 million as compared to $5.7 million of cash used in operations during the third quarter of 2022. The primary source of cash during the quarter was a $24.5 million build in contract payables, coupled with a $21.3 million decrease in accounts receivable. We used $43.5 million of this cash to pay down our revolving credit facility and ended the quarter with $83.0 million drawn.

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 (as applicable) EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted G&A expense for the Company and its segments, Adjusted EBITDA margin for the Company's segments (other than its Corporate segment), and Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS for the Company, all of which are performance measures that are not recognized under GAAP, and also free cash flow for the Company, which is a liquidity measure that is not recognized under GAAP. EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before: (1) interest expense, net, (2) provision (benefit) for income taxes, and (3) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA before (as applicable): (1) restructuring and related costs, (2) transaction and integration costs, (3) settlement related costs, (4) stock-based compensation, (5) impairment of goodwill, as applicable, (6) equity in net (income) loss of investee, net of tax, and (7) COVID-19 related costs, net of grant income. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA, divided by service revenue, net. Adjusted Net Income is calculated as net income (loss) before: (1) restructuring and related costs, (2) transaction and integration costs, (3) settlement related costs, (4) stock-based compensation, (5) impairment of goodwill, as applicable, (6) equity in net (income) loss of investee, net of tax (7) intangible asset amortization expense, (8) COVID-19 related costs, net of grant income, and (9) the income tax impact of such adjustments. Adjusted EPS is calculated as Adjusted Net Income divided by the diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding as calculated for Adjusted Net Income. Adjusted G&A expense is calculated as G&A expense before (as applicable): (1) restructuring and related costs, (2) transaction and integration costs, (3) settlement related costs and (4) stock-based compensation. Free cash flow is calculated as cash flow from operations less our applicable capital expenditures included in our purchase of property and equipment line in our Statements of Cash Flows. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures that are not included in the discussion above are included below. We do not provide guidance for net income (loss) in this presentation on a basis consistent with GAAP or a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because we are unable to predict items contained in the GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts. Our non-GAAP performance measures exclude 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. As a result, 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 liquidity measure is included because it reflects an additional way of viewing our liquidity that, when viewed together with our GAAP results, provides management, investors, and other users of our financial information with a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our cash flows. Our use of the term free cash flow is not intended to imply, and no inference should be made, however, that the reported amounts are free to be used without restriction for discretionary expenditures, as our use of these funds may be restricted by the terms of our outstanding indebtedness, including our credit facility, and otherwise earmarked for other non-discretionary expenditures.

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.
