Accelerated Execution of Clinic Operations and Geographic Footprint Strategies, Drove Sequential Improvement every Quarter in Revenue per Clinic and Visits per Day per Clinic

Beat 2023 Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA1 Guidance

BOLINGBROOK, Ill., Feb. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — ATI Physical Therapy, Inc. (NYSE: ATIP) (“ATI” or the “Company”), a nationally recognized outpatient physical therapy provider in the United States, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.

“We started 2023 with an enhanced corporate leadership team, laid out our plans, and finished the year exceeding what we set out to accomplish,” said Sharon Vitti, Chief Executive Officer of ATI. “Our providers expanded patient access and created increasingly busy clinic environments every single quarter. This past year’s successes are a direct result of the resilience and dedication of our entire team to our purpose.”

Ms. Vitti continued, “ATI has an outstanding physical therapy platform, as evidenced by the strong demand for our quality care, the favorable payor rates we garnered in 2023, and the ‘exceptional’ rating and bonus payments we again received from CMS for quality patient care. We are confident in our future and look forward to continuing to execute on our strategic plans while delivering value to our patients, team members, shareholders, and stakeholders.”

Joe Jordan, Chief Financial Officer of ATI, said, “We are excited to have beat our 2023 revenue and adjusted EBITDA1 guidance. Our initiatives to advance operational efficiency and profitability generated solid progression in financial results in 2023, and that momentum is carrying into 2024.”

Fourth Quarter 2023 Results

Supplemental tables of key performance metrics for the first quarter of 2021 through the fourth quarter of 2023 are presented after the financial statements at the end of this press release. Commentary on performance results in the fourth quarter of 2023 is as follows:

Net revenue was $182.3 million compared to $177.5 million in the third quarter of 2023 and $161.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, an increase of 2.7% quarter-over-quarter and 12.7% year-over-year. The increases were primarily driven by adept execution by the Company’s clinicians to ensure access for patients and strong demand for ATI’s physical therapy (“PT”) and adjacent services. The year-over-year increase was also due to a higher rate per visit.
Net patient revenue was $166.1 million compared to $162.3 million in the third quarter of 2023 and $146.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, an increase of 2.4% quarter-over-quarter and 13.6% year-over-year. See below for discussion of drivers to net patient revenue (i.e., patient visits and Rate per Visit).
Other revenue was $16.1 million compared to $15.2 million in the third quarter of 2023 and $15.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, an increase of 6.3% quarter-over-quarter and 3.7% year-over-year. The quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily due to higher Sports Medicine revenue, and the year-over-year increase was mostly due to higher MSA revenue.

Visits per Day (“VPD”) were 24,238 compared to 23,435 in the third quarter of 2023 and 22,316 in the fourth quarter of 2022, an increase of 3.4% quarter-over-quarter and 8.6% year-over-year. The increases were driven by the Company’s increased capacity to see patients through a higher number of clinical FTE and higher productivity per clinical FTE.
VPD per Clinic was 27.0 compared to 25.9 in the third quarter of 2023 and 24.1 in the fourth quarter of 2022, an increase of 1.1 visits quarter-over-quarter and 2.9 visits year-over-year. These increases were primarily driven by the Company’s continued focus on operational excellence within its clinics and ongoing footprint optimization efforts.

Rate per Visit (“RPV”) was $108.81 compared to $109.90 in the third quarter of 2023 and $103.99 in the fourth quarter of 2022, a decrease of 1.0% quarter-over-quarter and an increase of 4.6% year-over-year. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily driven by the absence of certain one-time favorable adjustments present in the third quarter of 2023. The year-over-year increase was mostly driven by operational improvements around front-end and claims submission processes and favorable contracting in certain key markets.
Salaries and related costs were $99.3 million compared to $97.1 million in the third quarter of 2023 and $90.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, an increase of 2.2% quarter-over-quarter and 9.5% year-over-year. The quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily due to more clinical and support staff FTE. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to more clinical and support staff FTE in addition to compensation inflation.
PT salaries and related costs per visit were $56.56 compared to $57.47 in the third quarter of 2023 and $54.92 in the fourth quarter of 2022, a decrease of 1.6% quarter-over-quarter and an increase of 3.0% year-over-year. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily driven by a higher labor productivity of 9.4 VPD per clinical FTE compared to 9.3 in the third quarter of 2023. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to higher compensation per FTE, partially offset by a higher labor productivity of 9.4 VPD per clinical FTE compared to 9.0 in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Rent, clinic supplies, contract labor and other was $52.6 million compared to $52.7 million in the third quarter of 2023 and $49.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, essentially flat quarter-over-quarter and an increase of 7.0% year-over-year. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by higher spending on contract labor and outside services, partially offset by less clinics.
PT rent and other per clinic was $57,109 compared to $57,012 in the third quarter of 2023 and $51,252 in the fourth quarter of 2022, essentially flat quarter-over-quarter and an increase of 11.4% year-over-year. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by higher spend on contract labor and outside services.

Provision for doubtful accounts was $1.4 million compared to $3.3 million in the third quarter of 2023 and $2.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. PT provision as a percentage of net patient revenue was 0.9% compared to 1.7% in the fourth quarter of 2022, reflecting strong collection experience.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $26.5 million compared to $25.1 million in the third quarter of 2023 and $27.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, an increase of 5.5% quarter-over-quarter and a decrease of 4.2% year-over-year. The quarter-over-quarter increase was driven primarily by lower legal cost insurance reimbursements and higher costs from added people and purchased services. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by lower severance costs and lower net non-ordinary legal and regulatory spend, partially offset by higher costs from purchased services.
Non-cash goodwill, intangible and other asset impairment charges totaled $5.6 million due to long-lived asset impairments related to subleasing a portion of the corporate office space, current real estate market conditions, and underperforming clinics.
Fair value remeasurement gains related to our 2L notes, warrant liability, and contingent common shares liability totaled $16.4 million primarily driven by decreases in the Company’s share price during the period.
Interest expense during the quarter was $14.9 million compared to $15.5 million in the third quarter of 2023 and $13.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, a decrease of 3.5% quarter-over-quarter and an increase of 11.0% year-over-year. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily due to cessation of the incremental 1.0% interest rate on the senior secured term and revolving loans in October 2023 due to achievement of certain required financial metrics under the terms of the credit agreement. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to a lower interest rate hedge benefit.
Income tax expense (benefit) was $2.3 million, compared to $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2023 and $(5.0) million in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Net loss was $4.5 million compared to $14.6 million in the third quarter of 2023 and $102.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The fourth quarter of 2022 net loss included $96.0 million in goodwill, intangible and other asset impairment charges.
Net loss available to common stockholders was $8.9 million compared to $18.3 million in the third quarter of 2023 and $108.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Fully diluted Class A common stock loss per share was $2.15 compared to $4.42 in the third quarter of 2023 and $26.50 in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA2 was $12.7 million compared to $9.4 million in the third quarter of 2023 and $6.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, an increase of 34.4% quarter-over-quarter and 99.2% year-over-year. The quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily due to higher revenue and lower provision for doubtful accounts, partially offset by higher clinic and corporate operating costs in support of business growth. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to higher revenue, lower provision for doubtful accounts, and lower corporate operating costs, partially offset by higher clinic operating costs in support of business growth.

Adjusted EBITDA3 margin was 7.0% compared to 5.3% in the third quarter of 2023 and 3.9% in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Net cash (use) generation was $(46.3) million in 2023 compared to $34.5 million in 2022.

Operating cash use was $12.4 million year-to-date compared to $65.5 million in 2022, reflecting higher earnings in addition to the conclusion of the CARES Act repayments and deferred payments in 2022 and other timing differences between accrual and cash basis.

Investing cash use was $17.4 million year-to-date compared to $28.0 million in 2022, with the decrease primarily due to fewer new clinic openings. Thirteen clinics were opened year-to-date compared to 36 clinics in the prior comparative period.

Financing cash (use) generation was $(16.6) million year-to-date compared to $128.1 million in 2022. Excluding revolver activity and the February 2022 refinancing, financing cash use was $6.9 million year-to-date compared to $2.2 million in 2022.

As of December 31, 2023, total liquidity was $41.8 million comprised of cash and cash equivalents of $36.8 million and available revolving credit facility of $5.0 million. As of 2023 year-end, the Company also had access to a $25.0 million delayed draw term loan, which was subsequently fully drawn in January 2024.

Additionally, ATI closed four clinics during the quarter in connection with the Company’s ongoing footprint optimization initiative, resulting in 896 clinics at the end of the year.

Full Year 2023 Results

Commentary on performance results for full year 2023 is as follows:

Additionally, ATI opened 13 clinics and closed and/or divested 40 clinics during 2023 in connection with the Company’s ongoing footprint optimization initiative. The Company had 896 clinics at the end of the year.

Investors should also review those factors discussed in the Company’ Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, under the heading “Risk Factors,” and other documents filed, or to be filed, by ATI with the SEC. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible to predict all such risk factors, nor can the Company assess the impact of all such risk factors on the business of the Company or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligations to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

In addition, statements of belief and similar statements reflect the beliefs and opinions of the Company on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to the Company, as applicable, as of the date of this communication, and while the Company believes such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and statements should not be read to indicate that the Company has conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and you are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company’s financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and aid understanding of the Company’s business performance, the Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, namely “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Adjusted EBITDA margin.” ATI believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin (i.e., Adjusted EBITDA divided by Net Revenue) assist investors and analysts in comparing the Company’s operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that it does not believe are indicative of ATI’s core operating performance.

Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in highlighting trends in our operating performance, while other measures can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which ATI operates and capital investments. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to supplement GAAP measures of performance in the evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, to establish discretionary annual incentive compensation and to compare ATI’s performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures. Management supplements GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or the ratio of net income (loss) to net revenue as a measure of financial performance, cash flows provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, these measures are not intended to be a measure of cash available for management’s discretionary use as they do not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. The presentations of these measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentations of these measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and can differ significantly from company to company.

Please see “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures used in this release to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
