Management Discussion

Richard DiIorio, chief executive officer of InfuSystem, said, “I am extremely pleased with how the team continues to execute as we build momentum, including achieving very solid third quarter financial results with strong double-digit year-over-year growth at both the top- and bottom-lines. For the second consecutive quarter, we delivered better than expected revenue and net income, highlighted by net revenue growth of 17%, net income growth of 159% and Adjusted EBITDA growth of 46%.”

“We have successfully transformed InfuSystem into a growth company by focusing on high touch service opportunities that leverage our best-in-class medical device fleet and our unique and highly-leverageable platform, which allows us to address high-growth opportunities by adding new devices and expanding into new therapies with minimal additional expense. Our core Integrated Therapy Service (“ITS”) segment provides services allowing patients to leave the hospital and continue their medical treatment at home in a safe manner. Oncology has been the backbone of the ITS platform, but we believe pain management and negative pressure will be the next growth drivers of the business. Our goal for pain management is to double revenues in each of the next two years and our goal in negative pressure is to capture 5% to 10% of the estimated $600 million home health market opportunity over the next 3 to 5 years.”

Mr. DiIorio, continued, “On the strength of the third quarter and our continuing momentum, we are raising our full year 2020 guidance with net revenues to be within the range of $96 million to $97 million; Adjusted EBITDA¹ to be within the range of $26 million to $27 million; and operating cash flow between the range of $18 million to $19 million. Our guidance reflects our best estimates given the current market conditions.”

“Our success is due to the commitment and dedication of our employees and I want to thank them for all their efforts during these unprecedented times. We look forward to continuing to meet the rising demand for in-home health care services by providing our patients and customers with industry-leading service and improving patient outcomes,” concluded Mr. DiIorio.

¹ Future period non-GAAP guidance includes adjustments for items not indicative of our core operations, which may include, without limitation, items included in the accompanying schedule, titled "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation." Such adjustments may be affected by changes in ongoing assumptions and judgments, as well as nonrecurring, unusual or unanticipated charges, expenses or gains or other items that may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations. The exact amounts of these adjustments are not currently determinable but may be significant. It is therefore not practicable to provide the comparable GAAP measures or reconcile this non-GAAP guidance to the most comparable GAAP measures.

2020 Third Quarter Financial Review

Results of operations

Net revenues for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020 were $25.1 million, an increase of $3.6 million, or 17%, compared to $21.5 million for the prior year third quarter.  The increase was due to continued market penetration in Oncology and a strong market demand for infusion pumps in the DME Services segment. 

ITS net revenue of $15.6 million during the 2020 third quarter increased $2.2 million, or 16%, primarily due to favorable changes in the competitive environment for oncology services, improved third party payor billing throughput and other market-related organic growth. 

DME Services net revenue during the third quarter of 2020 of $9.5 million increased $1.5 million, or 18%, as compared to the prior year period.  This performance was driven by strong market demand for infusion pumps attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic, expansion of our market share with national home infusion service providers and the addition of new devices to our product offerings stemming from new partnerships with certain device manufacturers.  During the third quarter these activities mainly benefited rental revenues, which increased by $1.1 million.  Sales of new and pre-owned medical equipment returned to normal levels during the 2020 third quarter, down from the peak amounts shipped during the 2020 second quarter.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2020 of $15.1 million increased $2.9 million, or 24%, from $12.2 million for the third quarter of 2019. Gross margin increased to 60.2%, during this period as compared to 57.0% during the prior year third quarter, an increase of 3.2%. These improvements were driven by the increase in net revenues, improved operating leverage and favorable revenue mix. Both operating segments contributed to these improvements.

ITS gross profit was $10.1 million during the third quarter of 2020, an increase of $1.5 million, or 17%, compared to the prior year. ITS gross margin increased to 64.6%, an increase of 0.4% from the prior year, mainly due to improved leverage of fixed costs.

DME Services gross profit during the third quarter of 2020 was $5.0 million, an increase of $1.4 million, or 40%, over the prior year. The DME gross margin increased to 53.0%, compared to 44.7%, an increase of 8.3%, from the prior year. The improvement was primarily due to the increase in proportionally higher net revenues from equipment rentals, which typically have higher margins than other types of DME revenue such as sales of new medical equipment.

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses for the third quarter of 2020 were $8.6 million, an increase of 24% from $6.9 million for the third quarter of 2019. The increase of $1.7 million was largely due to an increase in employee compensation reflecting higher staff levels supporting the growth in revenue volumes over the past 12 months, increases in short and long-term incentive compensation and annual inflation.

Net income for the third quarter of 2020 was $2.9 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, an improvement of $1.8 million, or 159%, as compared to the prior year net income of $1.1 million, or $0.05 per diluted share.  

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was $7.5 million, or 30.0% of net revenue, and increased by $2.4 million or 46% over Adjusted EBITDA for the prior year quarter of $5.2 million, or 24.0% of prior year net revenue.  This improvement in the Adjusted EBITDA margin is indicative of our ability to deliver sustainable strong revenue growth while leveraging our existing cost structure.

Balance sheet, cash flows and liquidity

During the third quarter of 2020, operating cash flow increased to $8.4 million, a 61% increase over the prior year third quarter.  The increase was primarily a result of a significant increase in net income, as adjusted for noncash items, and a reduction in working capital during the 2020 third quarter as compared to increases during the prior year period.  Working capital decreases during the 2020 third quarter were due in part to the return of working capital elements including inventory and accounts receivable to normal operating levels which were down from the elevated amounts at the end of the 2020 second quarter related to our COVID-19 preparedness initiatives.  Our cash used in investing activities, which mainly includes purchases of medical devices, totaled $0.5 million during the 2020 third quarter representing a $7.2 million reduction as compared to the prior year and a $4.0 million decrease from the 2020 second quarter.  This reduction was the result of an acceleration in the timing of planned purchases of medical devices favoring the 2020 first half allocated with our COVID-19 response activities.

The favorable operating cash flow was partially used to pay down our revolving line of credit which increased available liquidity and reduced our outstanding debt.  Our net debt, a non-GAAP measure (calculated as total debt of $34.8 million less cash and cash equivalents of $1.9 million) as of September 30, 2020 was $32.9 million representing a reduction of $7.5 million during the 2020 third quarter.  As of September 30, 2020, we had $17.5 million in available liquidity, including cash and undrawn amounts under our revolving credit line and our capital equipment bank facility, as compared to $11.7 million at the beginning of the quarter, an increase of $5.8 million.  The increase was primarily due to our favorable operating cash flow and reduced capital expenditures, partially offset by amortization of our term debt.  We estimate that our available liquidity will continue to increase during the 2020 fourth quarter as operating cash flows are expected to continue to exceed cash outlays for capital expenditures during the balance of the year.

Full Year 2020 Guidance

InfuSystem is raising its annual guidance for the full year 2020 with net revenues estimated to be within the range of $96.0 million to $97.0 million; Adjusted EBITDA estimated to be within the range of $26.0 million to $27.0 million; and operating cash flow projected to be within the range of $18.0 million to $19.0 million.  The higher 2020 guidance is a result of the continued execution of our growth strategy, and includes estimated net favorable impacts related to COVID-19 of $2.0 million to $3.0 million in Adjusted EBITDA which may not recur in future periods once the pandemic ceases to play an important role in the market.  Previously, the Company issued estimated full year 2020 guidance of net revenues to be within the range of $94.0 million to $97.0 million; Adjusted EBITDA estimated to be within the range of $23.0 million to $26.0 million; and operating cash flow to be within the range of $16.0 million to $18.0 million.

The full year 2020 guidance reflects management’s current expectation for operational performance, given the current market conditions, as well as various COVID-19 related uncertainties. The Company cannot predict the degree to which COVID-19 will ultimately, negatively or positively, impact future business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.  It may also heighten other risks to which the Company is subject, including risks discussed in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K. The financial guidance is subject to risks and uncertainties applicable to all forward-looking statements as described elsewhere in this press release.

Effect of Coronavirus (COVID-19)

The COVID-19 global pandemic has caused significant disruption to the United States and global economies and has severely impacted the overall health care industry and the related supply chain.  The focus on preparing and treating large numbers of COVID-19 patients has resulted in significant shifts in market demand and related shortages in certain types of medical equipment, including infusion pumps, while simultaneously reducing capacity for non-COVID-19 services such as elective surgeries.  These market dynamics resulted in a significant net favorable impact to InfuSystem during the second and third quarters.  This impact included increased net revenues and margins in certain service lines that were partially offset by reductions in others.  For example, the elevated levels of sales of new and pre-owed medical equipment sales in the second quarter will likely not recur in future quarters while a portion of the increased volume of DME rental revenues seen in the second and third quarters will likely continue in the near term but may slowly diminish over time.  Pain management revenues decreased significantly in the second quarter as a result of the reduced capacity for elective surgeries yet recovered during the third quarter and is growing again.  It is uncertain what additional impact the current second wave of COVID-19 will have on the demand for our products and services.  However, we continue to prepare for future disruptions like the ones experienced during the second and third quarters which, if they occur, will likely include both positive and negative effects in varying amounts.

Non-GAAP Measures

This press release contains information prepared in conformity with GAAP as well as non-GAAP financial information. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release provide useful information to the Company's management, investors, and other interested parties about the Company's operating performance because they allow them to understand and compare the Company's operating results during the current periods to the prior year periods in a more consistent manner. This non-GAAP information should be considered by the reader in addition to, but not instead of, the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, and similarly titled non-GAAP measures may be calculated differently by other companies. The Company calculates those non-GAAP measures by adjusting for non-recurring items that are not part of the normal course of business and that the Company’s management does not believe will have similar comparable year-over-year items or for non-operating items. A reconciliation of those measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is provided below.
