ExamWorks Reports Second Quarter 2012 Financial Results

(firmenpresse) - ATLANTA, GA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/02/12 -- ExamWorks Group, Inc. (NYSE: EXAM), a leading provider of independent medical examinations ("IMEs"), peer reviews, bill reviews and related services, today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2012.
Revenues for the second quarter of 2012 were $127.8 million, an increase of $21.1 million, or 19.8%, over the year-ago quarter revenues of $106.7 million.
Revenues for the first half of 2012 were $251.5 million, an increase of $78.2 million, or 45.1%, over the year-ago six month revenues of $173.3 million.
Actual revenues for the second quarter of 2012 were $127.8 million, an increase of $900,000, or 0.7%, over the year-ago quarter pro forma revenues of $126.9 million. Excluding the impact of currency, revenues would have grown by 1.7% over the prior year pro forma quarter. Pro forma revenues assume that acquisitions completed in 2011 were completed on January 1, 2010. We did not complete any acquisitions in the first half of 2012, thus pro forma revenues equal actual revenues.
Actual revenues for the first half of 2012 were $251.5 million, an increase of $3.4 million, or 1.4%, over the comparable period of 2011 pro forma revenues of $248.1 million. Excluding the impact of currency, revenues would have grown by 2.2% over the prior year pro forma six month period ended June 30, 2011.
Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2012 was $20.4 million (16.0% of revenues), an increase of $1.9 million, or 10.3%, over the year-ago quarter adjusted EBITDA of $18.5 million. The adjusted EBITDA margin of 16.0% compares favorably to the 15.2% adjusted EBITDA margin in the first quarter of 2012, demonstrating the leverage inherent in the business. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that is described and reconciled to net loss below and is not a substitute for the GAAP equivalent.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first half of 2012 was $39.3 million (15.6% of revenues), an increase of $9.9 million, or 33.7%, over the comparable period of 2011 adjusted EBITDA of $29.4 million.
We generated $11.4 million of cash flow from operations in the second quarter of 2012 and $16.2 million of cash flows in the first six months of 2012, net of $11.0 million of interest paid on the senior unsecured notes. We ended the quarter with available liquidity in excess of $85 million, including cash on hand and availability under the senior secured revolving credit facility.
For 2012, we continue to expect organic revenue growth between 4-6% based upon our 2011 pro forma revenue of approximately $483 million and we expect adjusted EBITDA margins between 15-16% of reported revenues.
Commenting on today's earnings announcement, Richard E. Perlman, Executive Chairman of ExamWorks, said: "Our second quarter results continue to show the success of our strategy, our model and our focus on execution. We are well positioned, back on track and looking forward to the second half of 2012, as well as 2013, as we expect our momentum to continue."
James K. Price, Chief Executive Officer of ExamWorks, said: "We continue to be pleased with how the industry has embraced our model and with the value that we are able to deliver to our clients. We continue to invest in differentiating infrastructure to service our clients and to focus proactively on our clients' present and future needs. Having focused on operational initiatives for the last several quarters, we are excited about the prospects for what we believe are some exciting acquisitions during the second half of 2012."

In connection with the ongoing operation of our business, our management regularly reviews Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, to assess our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, acquisition-related transaction costs, share-based compensation expenses, and other non-recurring costs. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of our operating performance because it allows management, lenders, investors and analysts to evaluate and assess our core operating results from period to period after removing the impact of changes to our capitalization structure, acquisition related costs, income tax status, and other items of a non-operational nature that affect comparability.
We believe that various forms of the Adjusted EBITDA metric are often used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies such as ours for the reasons discussed above. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is used to measure certain financial covenants in our credit facility. Adjusted EBITDA is also used for planning purposes and in presentations to our Board of Directors as well as in our incentive compensation programs for our employees, excluding our senior management.
Non-GAAP information should not be construed as an alternative to GAAP information, as the items excluded from the non-GAAP measures often have a material impact on our financial results. Management uses, and investors should use, non-GAAP measures in conjunction with our GAAP results.
Below is a table presenting a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most comparable GAAP measure, for each of the periods indicated.
