NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 22, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tivity Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:TVTY) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2017.

Fourth-Quarter 2017 Financial Highlights

  • Revenues increased by 11.5% to $139.4 million driven by growth in all three of the Company’s lines of business. This compares to revenues of $124.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2016.

Adjusted income from continuing operations increased 26.0% to $17.6 million compared to $14.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2016. The fourth quarter of 2017 excludes $2.6 million in pre-tax restructuring charges and $7.4 million of income tax expense related to tax reform legislation. Adjusted income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2016 excludes $5.2 million of pre-tax business separation costs and restructuring charges and a $2.2 million favorable adjustment to pre-tax depreciation expense. See pages 11-14 for a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures.
     
  • Income from continuing operations per diluted share was $0.20 compared to $0.30 for the fourth quarter of 2016, and adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share grew 17.1%, to $0.41 from $0.35 for the fourth quarter of 2016. The adjusted income per diluted share of $0.41 excludes a restructuring charge of $0.04 per diluted share and a charge of $0.17 per diluted share resulting from the 2017 tax reform legislation.

  • Weighted average diluted shares outstanding increased to 43.4 million compared with 39.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2016.

  • Adjusted EBITDA was $29.8 million, or 21.4% of revenues, which excludes $2.6 million of restructuring expenses, compared to adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2016 of $29.1 million, or 23.3% of revenues, which excluded $5.2 million of business separation costs and restructuring charges.

“The fourth quarter capped off a solid year for Tivity Health as we experienced growth in all three lines of business,” said Donato Tramuto, Tivity Health’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our growth in eligible members for SilverSneakers® outpaced the growth in the overall Medicare Advantage market as we continued to increase our market share and our strategy has begun to show early signs of success with member awareness exceeding our expectations. We are also pleased with another strong growth year in Prime® Fitness as it continues to be our fastest growing line of business.

“In addition to the strong operational and financial results throughout the year, 2017 also marked the 25th anniversary of SilverSneakers. Our longevity in the market stands as a testament to the power of our brand and the impact on the lives of our members. I’m incredibly proud of our results and of the effort of all our hardworking colleagues here at Tivity Health.”

Adam Holland, Tivity Health’s Chief Financial Officer added, “During the fourth quarter, we were able to strengthen our balance sheet by paying down debt with our free cash flow. We're well positioned to drive future growth and I believe our initial 2018 outlook demonstrates the power of our business model against the backdrop of strong market demographics.”

During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company initiated and completed a restructuring plan aimed at streamlining certain operations support functions.  The Company incurred approximately $2.6 million of pre-tax restructuring charges during the fourth quarter and does not expect additional material charges under this plan.  The Company anticipates annualized savings in 2018 of approximately $4 million from this restructuring.  

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 was signed into law during the fourth quarter, and the Company incurred a non-cash charge of $7.4 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, related to both the re-measurement of its deferred tax assets to the lower tax rate and the requirement under provisions of the new law to recalculate the impact of repatriation of its foreign earnings, which occurred earlier in the year.

2018 Financial Guidance

Tivity Health announced today its financial guidance for 2018, which includes:

  • Revenues in a range of $607 million to $625 million;
  • EBITDA in a range of $139 million to $144 million; and
  • Earnings per diluted share in a range of $2.12 to $2.20.

This guidance for 2018 also includes:

  • Depreciation expense of approximately $4 million;
  • Interest expense of approximately $8 million, of which approximately $6 million is non-cash expense;
  • An effective tax rate of approximately 27%;
  • Weighted average diluted shares outstanding in a range of 43.5 to 44.0 million;
  • Free cash flow in excess of $100 million; and
  • Capital expenditures of approximately $10 million.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is a non-GAAP financial measure.  The Company excludes business separation costs and restructuring charges from this measure because of its comparability to the Company's historical operating results.  The Company believes it is useful to investors to provide disclosures of its operating results and guidance on the same basis as that used by management.  You should not consider adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations in isolation or as a substitute for income from continuing operations determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

(2) Business separation costs consists of pre-tax charges of $1,477,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2016 related to the separation of the Network Solutions business from the disposed total population health services (“TPHS”) business. 

(3) Restructuring charges consists of pre-tax charges of $2,554,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2017 related to a restructuring to streamline our operations support and $3,763,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2016 associated with the 2016 restructuring of corporate support infrastructure.
