Operating Results
Ensign’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Christopher Christensen, congratulated the organization’s leaders and their teams for outstanding clinical and financial performance during the quarter. “In the midst of unprecedented growth, our team of expert operators and clinicians across the organization have been relentless at driving record improvements in our same-store operations while successfully transitioning dozens of new operations,” he said. “It’s important to emphasize that while our newly acquired facilities almost always create a short-term drag on earnings, we were able to offset that impact by achieving solid results in our same store and transitioning operations,” he added.
“As our balance sheet and income statement demonstrate, we remain as disciplined as ever in our approach to growth, even as our ability to transition more and more operations grows with our organization,” Mr. Christensen highlighted. He also pointed out that the quarter’s results, “demonstrated again that our ability to transition new operations and to drive organic growth within our existing portfolio, even in the midst of significant growth, remains as strong as ever.”
He also reiterated that as of November 1, 2015, the company had 64 operations in the recently acquired bucket, which is the highest number of operations in that category in the organization’s history. “Our recent growth puts us in a very strong position for continued organic improvement in 2016 and beyond as these recently acquired and transitioning operations continue to mature for years to come,” Christensen said.
Chief Financial Officer Suzanne Snapper reported that Ensign’s balance sheet remains strong in spite of our record acquisition activity, with its conservative adjusted net-debt-to-EBITDAR ratio of 3.27x at quarter end. “It’s remarkable that we transitioned so many acquisitions, protected our balance sheet and simultaneously achieved record-setting same store growth,” she said. She also added “as a result of our ever improving discipline, we continue to have flexibility under our revolving line of credit, with approximately $93.0 million of availability and a built-in expansion option that adds liquidity.” She further noted that the company continues to generate strong cash flow, with cash on hand of $40.1 million on September 30, 2015.
Ms. Snapper also reported that consolidated revenues in the quarter were up 34.6% over the prior year quarter to a record $351.1 million and consolidated adjusted EBITDAR for the quarter grew by 46.9% to $57.0 million, with adjusted EBITDAR margins for the quarter of 16.5%. Fully diluted adjusted earnings per share were $0.60 for the quarter and adjusted net income was $15.9 million.
A discussion of the company’s use of non-GAAP financial measures is set forth below. A reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDAR and adjusted EBITDA, as well as a reconciliation of GAAP earnings per share and net income to adjusted net earnings per share and adjusted net income, appear in the financial data portion of this release.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA consists of net income before (a) interest expense, net, (b) provisions for income taxes and (c) depreciation and amortization. EBITDAR consists of net income before (a) interest expense, net, (b) provisions for income taxes, (c) depreciation and amortization and (d) rent-cost of services. Adjusted EBITDA consists of net income before (a) interest expense, net, (b) provisions for income taxes, (c) depreciation and amortization, (d) costs incurred for operations currently being constructed and other start-up operations, (e) expenses incurred in connection with the Spin-Off, (f) stock-based compensation expense, (g) costs incurred related to new systems implementation, (h) breakup fee, net of costs, received in connection with a public auction in which we were the priority bidder, (i) costs incurred to recognize income tax credits which contributed to a decrease in effective tax rate, (j) costs incurred to acquire operations which are not capitalized, (k) operating results at urgent care centers, excluding depreciation, interest and income taxes and (l) results at three independent living operations which were transferred to Care Trust REIT as part of the Spin-Off transaction, excluding rent, depreciation, interest and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDAR consists of net income before (a) interest expense, net, (b)provisions for income taxes, (c) depreciation and amortization, (d) rent-cost of services, (e) costs incurred for facilities currently being constructed and other start-up operations, (f) expenses incurred in connection with the Spin-Off, (g) stock-based compensation expense, (h) costs incurred related to new systems implementation, (i) breakup fee, net of costs, received in connection with a public auction in which we were the priority bidder , (j) costs incurred to recognize income tax credits which contributed to a decrease in effective tax rate, (k) costs incurred to acquire operations which are not capitalized, (l) operating results at urgent care centers, excluding rent, depreciation, interest and income taxes and (m) results at three independent living operations which were transferred to Care Trust REIT as part of the Spin-Off transaction, excluding rent, depreciation, interest and income taxes. The company believes that the presentation of EBITDA, EBITDAR, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDAR, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share provides important supplemental information to management and investors to evaluate the company’s operating performance. The company believes disclosure of adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, EBITDAR, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDAR has economic substance because the excluded revenues and expenses are infrequent in nature and are variable in nature, or do not represent current revenues or cash expenditures. A material limitation associated with the use of these measures as compared to the GAAP measures of net income and diluted earnings per share is that they may not be comparable with the calculation of net income and diluted earnings per share for other companies in the company’s industry. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. For further information regarding why the company believes that this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors, the specific manner in which management uses this measure, and some of the limitations associated with the use of this measure, please refer to the company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The company’s periodic filings are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or under the “Financial Information” link of the Investor Relations section on Ensign’s website at http://www.ensigngroup.net.
