VITAS

VITAS net revenue was $321 million in the second quarter of 2023, which is an increase of 7.8% when compared to the prior year period. This revenue increase is comprised primarily of a 6.2% increase in days-of-care and a geographically weighted average Medicare reimbursement rate increase of approximately 2.7%, partially offset by 100-basis points as a result of CMS reimplementing sequestration that was suspended at the start of the pandemic. Acuity mix shift had minimal impact in the quarter when compared to the prior-year revenue and level-of-care mix. The combination of Medicare Cap and other contra revenue changes negatively impacted revenue growth by 10-basis points.

In the second quarter of 2023, VITAS accrued $2.75 million in Medicare Cap billing limitations. This compares to a $2.0 million Medicare Cap billing limitation in the second quarter of 2022.

Of VITAS’ 30 Medicare provider numbers, 24 provider numbers have a trailing nine-month Medicare Cap cushion of 10% or greater, three provider numbers have a cushion between 5% and 10%, and three provider numbers have a trailing nine-month billing limitation liability.

Average revenue per patient per day in the second quarter of 2023 was $197.02 which is 178-basis points above the prior-year period. Reimbursement for routine home care and high acuity care averaged $172.91 and $1,031.58, respectively. During the quarter, high acuity days-of-care were 2.8% of total days of care, essentially equal to the prior-year quarter.

The second quarter 2023 gross margin, excluding Medicare Cap and the hiring and retention bonus program, was 22.7%. This is a 143-basis point increase when compared to the second quarter of 2022. The margin increase is net of sequestration which reduced reimbursement 100-basis points when compared to the prior year. During the quarter, VITAS increased the licensed healthcare staff by 309 professionals. This results in total licensed staff increasing by 784 professionals since the inception of the retention program on July 1, 2022. The increase of 309 net professionals hired during the second quarter of 2023, basically underutilized capacity, is estimated to have negatively impacted margins in the quarter by approximately 80-basis points.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $22.7 million in the second quarter of 2023 and compares to $23.1 million incurred in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding Medicare Cap, totaled $50.7 million in the quarter, an increase of 1.4%. Adjusted EBITDA margin in the quarter, excluding Medicare Cap, was 15.7%, which is 101-basis points below the prior-year period. This Adjusted EBITDA margin was negatively impacted by 100-basis points for the reimplementation of sequestration and approximately 80-basis points due to the addition of 309 licensed professionals during the second quarter of 2023.

Roto-Rooter

Roto-Rooter generated quarterly revenue of $233 million in the second quarter of 2023, a decline of 0.2%, when compared to the prior-year quarter.

Roto-Rooter branch commercial revenue in the quarter totaled $55.5 million, an increase of 1.3%, over the prior year. This aggregate commercial revenue growth consisted of drain cleaning revenue declining 3.0%, plumbing increasing 5.4%, excavation increasing 2.9%, and water restoration increasing 9.7%.

Roto-Rooter branch residential revenue in the quarter totaled $158 million, a decline of 1.1%, over the prior-year period. This aggregate residential revenue growth consisted of drain cleaning decreasing 8.6%, plumbing declining 2.8%, excavation expanding 3.8%, and water restoration increasing 2.5%.

Roto-Rooter’s gross margin in the quarter was 52.3%, an 89-basis point decline when compared to the second quarter of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2023 totaled $65.9 million, a decrease of 4.5%. The Adjusted EBITDA margin in the quarter was 28.3%, which is 128-basis points below the prior year period.

Chemed Consolidated

As of June 30, 2023, Chemed had total cash and cash equivalents of $160 million and no current or long-term debt.

In June 2022, Chemed entered into a five-year $550 million Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (Credit Agreement). This Credit Agreement consisted of a $100 million amortizable term loan and a $450 million revolving credit facility. The interest rate on this Credit Agreement has a floating rate that is currently SOFR plus 100-basis points. During the quarter, the Company paid off the remaining portion of the term loan. The Company has approximately $405 million of undrawn borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement.

During the quarter, the Company repurchased 25,000 shares of Chemed stock for $13.4 million which equates to a cost per share of $536.98. As of June 30, 2023, there was approximately $74 million of remaining share repurchase authorization under its plan.

Guidance for 2023

VITAS 2023 revenue, prior to Medicare Cap, is estimated to increase 8.5% to 9.5% when compared to 2022. Forecasted revenue growth is negatively impacted by 75-basis points as a result of the sequestration relief in the first half of 2022 compared to a full year of sequestration in 2023. ADC is estimated to increase 6.5% to 7.5%. Full year adjusted EBITDA margin, prior to Medicare Cap and accrued retention bonuses related to the hiring initiatives, is estimated to be 16.5% to 17.0%. We are currently estimating $11 million for Medicare Cap billing limitations in calendar year 2023.

Roto-Rooter is forecasted to achieve full-year 2023 revenue growth of 1.0% to 2.0%. Roto-Rooter’s adjusted EBITDA margin for 2023 is expected to be 28.0% to 28.5%.

Based upon the above, full-year 2023 earnings per diluted share, excluding: non-cash expense for stock options, tax benefits from stock option exercises, costs related to litigation, retention program for licensed healthcare employees, and other discrete items, is estimated to be in the range of $19.90 to $20.10. Current 2023 guidance assumes an effective corporate tax rate on adjusted earnings of 24.7% and a diluted share count of 15.2 million shares. Chemed’s 2022 reported adjusted earnings per diluted share was $19.75.

Chemed Corporation operates in the healthcare field through its VITAS Healthcare Corporation subsidiary. VITAS provides daily hospice services to approximately 18,400 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.
