"Our strong second quarter operating results reflect the continued focus on our marketing and cost cutting initiatives, as well as diversification of our revenues," said Harry Fleming, Chief Executive Officer of Nobilis Health.  "Total revenue and adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter grew by 29% and 18%, respectively, compared to the same period last year while total operating expenses and corporate costs as a percent of revenue decreased by 5% and 4%, respectively, compared to the same period in the prior year.  Our businesses complement one another and as we enter the second half of the year we see continued revenue growth, particularly in the ancillary service lines.

"We continued to make solid progress reducing costs in the second quarter.  The cost cuts we set out earlier this year remain on track and the focus for the second half of the year continues to be on growing our portfolio of facilities with improved efficiencies."

Second Quarter 2017 Results
Total revenue for the second quarter of 2017 increased to $80.0 million, a 29.2% increase over the same period in the prior year. Total case volume decreased by 266 cases to 4,597 cases, or 5.5%, compared to 4,863 cases in the prior corresponding period.  Revenue per case increased to $17,394, or 36.7%, in the second quarter of 2017, as compared to $12,723 in the same period last year.  The revenue per case increase was due to higher acuity cases, growth in our ancillary services and the addition of the vein business.

Net income attributable to Nobilis for the second quarter of 2017 was $1.6 million or $0.02 per fully diluted share, as compared to $4.8 million, or $0.06 per fully diluted share, in the second quarter of 2016.  This was impacted by higher income tax, interest expense and increased profitability from our minority owned facilities.

Adjusted EBITDA¹ for the second quarter of 2017, which adds back certain non-cash and non-recurring expenses, was $10.1 million, an increase of 18.1% over $8.5 million in the same quarter last year.

^{1 Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures}

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash compensation expenses, change in fair value of warrant and stock option derivative liabilities, acquisition expenses, and non-recurring expenses. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of financial performance required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). Items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is an analytical indicator used by management and the health care industry to evaluate company performance, allocate resources and measure leverage and debt service capacity. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows generated by operations, investing or financing activities, or other financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial statements as indicators of financial performance or liquidity. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
