"Modivcare continues to transform into a more efficient tech-enabled platform with a differentiated offering in the health care services market. Revenue growth of 11% during the second quarter of 2023 was driven by strong growth across our Home and Mobility businesses,” stated L. Heath Sampson, President, and CEO. “Our Home division is benefiting from our centralization and standardization initiatives, which helped drive double-digit revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth. We made significant progress on our move towards One Modivcare during the second quarter by accelerating the creation of a longitudinal member profile that will allow us to improve member experience, lower costs, and generate proactive outcome-based insights. Membership in our Mobility division increased 2% sequentially driven by expansions of existing contracts, with 5% Medicare Advantage growth and 1% Medicaid member growth, despite the initial impact of Medicaid redeterminations. However, in the near-term, increased utilization and related higher call volumes in NEMT, along with new contract win implementation delays, and contract attrition from prior years, prompted us to revise our 2023 full-year Adjusted EBITDA guidance to an updated range of $200 million to $210 million. Our cash flow was also negatively impacted during the second quarter of 2023 due to a $96 million decline in our contract payables, net of receivables. We expect positive cash flow in the second half of the year, as collections on our contract receivables align with or exceed declines on our contract payables. Despite the near-term challenges, we believe our business is well positioned to generate strong long-term performance as we continue to drive us towards our unique One Modivcare vision."

Second Quarter 2023 Results

For the second quarter of 2023, the Company reported revenue of $699.1 million, an increase of 11.3% from $628.2 million in the second quarter of 2022. The increase in revenue is primarily attributable to a 1.5% increase in membership and an 9.0% increase in revenue per member per month in our NEMT segment coupled with a 3.4% increase in hours worked and a 7.2% increase in rate per hour in our Personal Care segment.

Our operating loss was $175.8 million, or 25.1% of revenue, in the second quarter of 2023, compared to operating income of $23.1 million, or 3.7% of revenue, in the second quarter of 2022. Net loss in the second quarter of 2023 was $190.9 million, or $13.47 per diluted common share, compared to net income of $3.3 million, or $0.24 per diluted common share, in the second quarter of 2022. Both the operating loss and the net loss for the second quarter of 2023 are primarily attributable to the non-cash goodwill impairment of $183.1 million.

Adjusted EBITDA was $52.4 million, or 7.5% of revenue, in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $60.2 million, or 9.6% of revenue, in the second quarter of 2022. Our Adjusted EBITDA decreased primarily as a result of a $17.5 million decrease in the NEMT segment. This decrease was driven by increased service expense per trip and higher than expected trip volume, as well as contract losses that impacted NEMT's operating margin. Accordingly, adjusted net income in the second quarter of 2023 was $20.8 million, or $1.47 per diluted common share, compared to $28.1 million, or $1.99 per diluted common share, in the second quarter of 2022.

Cash used in operations during the quarter was $108.2 million as compared to $17.9 million during the second quarter of 2022. The primary use of cash during the quarter was a net $78.5 million reduction in contract payables, coupled with a $17.4 million increase in contract receivables, for a total use of cash of $95.9 million. As of the quarter end, we are in a net contract receivables position of $10.7 million.

During the second quarter, a goodwill impairment of $183.1 million was recognized, as the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment assessment and determined that based on its qualitative assessment for each reporting unit, factors existed which required the Company to perform a quantitative assessment to test its goodwill for impairment. These factors included a decline in the market price of the Company's common stock and general economic and market volatility.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Adjustments

In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), this press release includes (as applicable) EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted G&A expense for the Company and its segments, Adjusted EBITDA margin for the Company's segments (other than its Corporate segment), and Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS for the Company, all of which are performance measures that are not recognized under GAAP. EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before: (1) interest expense, net, (2) provision (benefit) for income taxes, and (3) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA before (as applicable): (1) restructuring and related costs, (2) transaction and integration costs, (3) settlement related costs, (4) cash settled equity, (5) stock-based compensation, (6) impairment of goodwill, (7) COVID-19 related costs, net of grant income, and (8) equity in net (income) loss of investee, net of tax. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA, divided by service revenue, net. Adjusted Net Income is calculated as net income (loss) before: (1) restructuring and related costs, (2) transaction and integration costs, (3) settlement related costs, (4) cash settled equity, (5) stock-based compensation, (6) impairment of goodwill, (7) equity in net (income) loss of investee, net of tax (8) intangible asset amortization expense, (9) COVID-19 related costs, net of grant income, and (10) the income tax impact of such adjustments. Adjusted EPS is calculated as Adjusted Net Income divided by the diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding as calculated for Adjusted Net Income. Adjusted G&A expense is calculated as G&A expense before (as applicable): (1) restructuring and related costs, (2) transaction and integration costs, (3) settlement related costs, (4) cash settled equity, and (5) stock-based compensation. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included below. We do not provide guidance for net income (loss) in this presentation on a basis consistent with GAAP or a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because we are unable to predict items contained in the GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts. Our non-GAAP performance measures exclude expenses and amounts that are not driven by our core operating results and may be one time in nature. Excluding these expenses makes comparisons with prior periods as well as to other companies in our industry more meaningful. We believe such measures allow investors to gain a better understanding of the factors and trends affecting the ongoing operations of our business. We consider our core operations to be the ongoing activities to provide services from which we earn revenue, including direct operating costs and indirect costs to support these activities. As a result, our net income or loss in equity investee is excluded from these measures, as we do not have the ability to manage the venture, allocate resources within the venture, or directly control its operations or performance.

Our non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in our industry, as other companies in our industry may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently. In addition, there are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, and exclude expenses that may have a material impact on our reported financial results. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. We urge you to review the reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures included below, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
