MADISON HEIGHTS, Mich., Aug. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- InfuSystem Holdings, Inc. (NYSE MKT: INFU) ("InfuSystem" or the "Company"), a leading national provider of infusion pumps and related services for the healthcare industry in the United States, today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2015.

Highlights for the second quarter of 2015 included:

• Net Revenues totaled $17.2 million, an increase of 5% versus second quarter 2014 net revenues of $16.4 million.
• Net Collected Rental Revenues increased 8% over last year's comparable quarter.
• Bad debt decreased 21% for the quarter and 34% YTD compared to prior year periods, as a result of increased focus on new payor contracts and patient collections.
• Investment of approximately $1.6 million to expand our information technology capabilities, including InfuSystem EXPRESS and our Pain Management initiatives.
• The integration of Ciscura is progressing as planned, as the Company has acquired approximately 1,800 infusion pumps and opened a new Southeast service facility located near Atlanta, GA.
• Net Income of $0.8 million, or diluted EPS of $0.03, compared to second quarter 2014 net income of $0.9 million or diluted EPS of $0.04.
• The Company made an optional pre-payment of $1.0 million on its Term Loan A.
• The Company purchased $1.3 million in the second quarter and $4.1 million YTD of medical equipment in rental service expected to be deployed during the second half of the year.

Revenues in the second quarter of 2015 were $17.2 million, an increase of $0.8 million, or 5%, from $16.4 million in the second quarter of 2014. During the period, net revenues from rentals increased 6% while net revenues from product sales were unchanged from the same period in 2014.  Product sales can vary from quarter to quarter due to the nature of opportunistic product sales resulting in dramatically increased or decreased sales revenues during the operating quarter. 

The Company is focused on net rental revenues less bad debt ("Net Collected Rental Revenues") versus prior year. Net Collected Rental Revenues increased 8% to $14.5 million versus $13.4 million in the comparable quarter of 2014. This increase occurred mainly as a direct result of a focus on contractual insurance changes and the Company's increased focus on collecting patient billings.

The Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Ciscura Holding Company, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including approximately 1,800 infusion pumps embedded in approximately 100 medical facilities in the southeastern U.S. This acquisition allows the Company to offer to these newly acquired infusion clinic customers its full portfolio of infusion-related products and electronic connectivity solutions, including the InfuSystem EXPRESS paperless and work-free electronic medical record ("EMR") integration powered by the Company's patent-pending InfuBus™ connectivity engine.

Net income in the second quarter was $0.8 million, equal to $0.03 per diluted share, compared to net income of $0.9 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the same prior year period.  Adjusted net income, adding back integration costs associated with the Ciscura acquisition, interest expense and other income and expenses was $1.1 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to $0.9 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the same prior year period.

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $11.9 million, consistent with the same prior year period. It represented 69% of revenues in the second quarter compared to 73% in the prior year period. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenues for the period is mainly due to the increase in cost of revenues – product and supply costs, including $0.2 million for additional depreciation on newly purchased pumps and $0.1 million for write-offs of lost or damaged pumps.

Eric K. Steen, chief executive officer of InfuSystem, said, "This was an important quarter for InfuSystem as we made substantial progress in integrating the acquired Ciscura assets, gained traction in the expansion of our EMR initiatives, continued expanding our base of payor contracts, which had the impact of decreasing bad debt by $0.3 million, or 21%, compared to last year's second quarter, and we operated profitably for the 11^th out of the last 12 quarters. InfuSystem is well positioned to generate solid financial results for the second half of 2015 and beyond."

"We are particularly pleased with the results of the quarter as we made significant cash outlays to improve our competitive position. During the quarter, we paid $3.8 million toward the purchase of the Ciscura assets and booked non-recurring charges totaling $0.4 million associated with the integration of the assets. While we benefited from approximately one month of revenue contribution from the Ciscura assets during the second quarter, we believe that the upcoming third and fourth quarters will benefit from full, quarterly revenue contributions and be accretive to earnings. We also expect that the second half of 2015 will benefit from revenue that will be generated from the new group of infusion pumps added to the rental fleet during the first six months of the year, for which we invested approximately $4.1 million, excluding the pumps from the Ciscura asset purchase."

Mr. Steen concluded, "Our InfuSystem EXPRESS EMR platform connects seamlessly into a growing number of EMR systems and delivers significant operating efficiencies to our infusion clinic and hospital customers by eliminating duplicate data entry and errors associated with human input.  Our new customers and prospects appreciate the value that this unique patent-pending solution brings to their operations.  We plan to further invest in technology solutions that continue to strengthen our industry leadership position, and that, along with the Ciscura asset purchase, gives us confidence in closing out 2015 on a strong note."

During the three months ended June 30, 2015, general and administrative ("G&A") expenses were $6.0 million, an increase of $1.1 million, compared to $4.9 million for the same prior year period. The increase in G&A expenses versus the same prior year period was mainly attributable to increases in spending on information technology and pain management initiatives of $0.3 million; increases in compensation and employee personnel of $0.3 million; increases in stock compensation of $0.2 million and $0.3 million in expenses associated with the Ciscura acquisition and integration. 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2015, we recorded interest expense of $0.4 million, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 50%, compared to $0.8 million for the same prior year period. This is a direct result of the lower interest rates associated with the Company's new credit facility. Selling and marketing expenses remained consistent at $2.7 million when compared to the second quarter of 2014.

Adjusted EBITDA was $3.9 million for the second quarter of 2015 compared to $4.0 million for the same period in 2014. The Company utilizes Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA as a means to measure its operating performance.  A reconciliation from GAAP operating measures to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA, both non-GAAP measures, can be found in the appendix.

Financial Condition

Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $3.8 million compared to $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. This increase is due to higher amounts of non-cash expenses (such as the loss on the extinguishment of debt, stock based compensation, depreciation and amortization) in the second quarter.

Cash used in investing activities was $11.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to cash used of $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in cash used was due to the $3.8 million payment for the Ciscura acquisition, a $5.8 million increase in spending on non-pump assets, which was a direct result of a significant ongoing investment in information technology, and a $3.7 million increase in cash used to purchase medical equipment, offset by $1.9 million in cash proceeds from sale of medical equipment. The Company bought $4.1 million of infusion pumps during the year to date period ended June 30, 2015 to serve new rental business anticipated for the remainder of 2015.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2015, the Company entered into a new five-year senior secured credit agreement comprised of a $27.0 million Term Loan A, an $8.0 million Term Loan B and a $10.0 million revolving credit facility ("Revolver"). Term Loan B was unfunded at closing and as of June 30, 2015, had a balance of $3.8 million with an additional $4.2 million available to be drawn under certain conditions for acquisitions. The new credit facility strengthens the Company's balance sheet and reduces the Company's current interest rate to 3.00% from the previous interest rate of 7.75%.

As of June 30, 2015, the Company maintained cash and cash equivalents of $0.8 million and $9.9 million of availability on the $10.0 million Revolver compared to $0.5 million and $6.6 million, respectively, at December 31, 2014.

Jonathan P. Foster, chief financial officer, commented, "Interest expense for the second quarter of 2015 was reduced by 50% as a function of the refinancing of our credit facility, with JP Morgan Chase, in the previous quarter. The new credit facility enables us to run our business in a highly efficient manner while allowing us to take advantage of acquisition opportunities, such as Ciscura, as they present themselves. We are very pleased in that regard. During the quarter we made a $1.0 million pre-payment on our Term Loan A with Chase to get ahead of the curve in maintaining a prudent debt structure that will allow us to grow the Company effectively while responsibly servicing that debt and driving value for our shareholders. The first payment of Term Loan A would have been due on September 30, 2015."
