The business of the Company is conducted through limited liability companies, partnerships and C-corporations. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all subsidiaries controlled by the Company through its direct or indirect ownership of majority interests and exclusive rights granted to the Company as the controlling member of an entity. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations have been included. The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31 and interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any other interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2022 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. The information contained in these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 28, 2023. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year to conform to the current year presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-10, “Government Assistance (Topic 832)” (“ASU 2021-10”). ASU 2021-10 provides guidance to increase the transparency of government assistance including the disclosure of (1) the types of assistance, (2) an entity’s accounting for the assistance, and (3) the effect of the assistance on an entity’s financial statements. ASU 2021-10 applies to all business entities except for not-for-profit entities within the scope of Topic 958, Not-for-Profit Entities, and employee benefit plans within the scope of Topic 960, Plan Accounting—Defined Benefit Pension Plans, Topic 962, Plan Accounting—Defined Contribution Pension Plans, and Topic 965, Plan Accounting—Health and Welfare Benefit Plans that account for a transaction with a government by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy to other accounting guidance (for example, a grant model within IAS 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, or Subtopic 958-605, Not-For-Profit Entities—Revenue Recognition). ASU 2021-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2021-10 for the year ended December 31, 2022. See Note 9 – The CARES Act for additional information on the Company’s accounting for government grants received.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for or recognizing the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting and applies only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024. Entities may adopt ASU 2020-04 as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020 or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. The Company adopted ASU 2020-04 for the quarter ended

March 31, 2023. See Note 11 – Long Term Debt for additional information on the Company’s accounting for the reference rate reform. There is no significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Revenue

Revenue is primarily derived from services rendered to patients for inpatient psychiatric and substance abuse care, outpatient psychiatric care and residential treatment. The services provided by the Company have no fixed duration and can be terminated by the patient or the facility at any time, and therefore, each treatment is its own stand-alone contract.

Services ordered by a healthcare provider in an episode of care are not separately identifiable and therefore have been combined into a single performance obligation for each contract. The Company recognizes revenue as its performance obligations are completed. The performance obligation is satisfied over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the healthcare services provided. For inpatient services, the Company recognizes revenue equally over the patient stay on a daily basis. For outpatient services, the Company recognizes revenue equally over the number of treatments provided in a single episode of care. Typically, patients and third-party payors are billed within several days of the service being performed or the patient being discharged, and payments are due based on contract terms.

As the Company’s performance obligations relate to contracts with a duration of one year or less, the Company elected the optional exemption in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606-10-50-14(a). Therefore, the Company is not required to disclose the transaction price for the remaining performance obligations at the end of the reporting period or when the Company expects to recognize the revenue. The Company has minimal unsatisfied performance obligations at the end of the reporting period as its patients typically are under no obligation to remain admitted in the Company’s facilities.

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by service type and by payor.

The Company’s facilities and services provided by the facilities can generally be classified into the following categories: acute inpatient psychiatric facilities; specialty treatment facilities; comprehensive treatment centers (“CTCs”); and residential treatment centers.

Acute inpatient psychiatric facilities. Acute inpatient psychiatric facilities provide a high level of care in order to stabilize patients that are either a threat to themselves or to others. The acute setting provides 24-hour observation, daily intervention and monitoring by psychiatrists.

Specialty treatment facilities. Specialty treatment facilities include residential recovery facilities and eating disorder facilities. The Company provides a comprehensive continuum of care for adults with addictive disorders and co-occurring mental disorders. Inpatient, including detoxification and rehabilitation, partial hospitalization and outpatient treatment programs give patients access to the least restrictive level of care.

Comprehensive treatment centers. CTCs specialize in providing medication-assisted treatment in an outpatient setting to
individuals addicted to opioids such as opioid analgesics (prescription pain medications).

Residential treatment centers. Residential treatment centers treat patients with behavioral disorders in a non-hospital setting, including outdoor programs. The facilities balance therapy activities with social, academic and other activities.

The table below presents total revenue attributed to each category (in thousands):

The Company receives payments from the following sources for services rendered in its facilities: (i) state governments under their respective Medicaid and other programs; (ii) commercial insurers; (iii) the federal government under the Medicare program administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”); and (iv) individual patients and clients.

The Company determines the transaction price based on established billing rates reduced by contractual adjustments provided to third-party payors, discounts provided to uninsured patients and implicit price concessions. Contractual adjustments and discounts are based on contractual agreements, discount policies and historical experience. Implicit price concessions are based on historical collection experience. Most of the Company’s facilities have contracts containing variable consideration. However, it is unlikely a significant reversal of revenue will occur when the uncertainty is resolved, and therefore, the Company has included the variable consideration in the estimated transaction price. Subsequent changes resulting from a patient’s ability to pay are recorded as bad debt expense, which is included as a component of other operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income. Bad debt expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was not significant.

The CARES Act

As part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), the U.S. government announced it would offer $100 billion of relief to eligible healthcare providers. On April 24, 2020, then President Trump signed into law the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act (the “PPP Act”). Among other things, the PPP Act allocated $75 billion to eligible healthcare providers to help offset losses and expenses related to the novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 (“COVID-19”). The $75 billion allocated under the PPP Act was in addition to the $100 billion allocated to healthcare providers for the same purposes in the CARES Act and has been disbursed to providers under terms and conditions similar to the CARES Act funds. The Company accounts for government grants by analogizing to the grant model in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, and as such, has recognized income from grants in line with the recognition of expenses or the loss of revenues for which the grants are intended to compensate. The Company recognizes grants once both of the following conditions are met: (i) the Company is able to comply with the relevant terms and conditions of the grant and (ii) the grant will be received.

During 2020, the Company participated in certain relief programs offered through the CARES Act, including receipt of approximately $34.9 million relating to the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund (the “PHSSE Fund”), also known as the Provider Relief Fund. During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company recorded approximately $32.8 million of income from provider relief fund related to PHSSE Fund amounts received in 2020.

In 2021, the Company received $24.2 million of additional funds from the PHSSE Fund. During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company recorded $17.9 million of income from provider relief fund related to the PHSSE Fund amounts received. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company received $7.7 million of additional funds from the PHSSE Fund and $14.2 million from the American Rescue Plan (“ARP”) Rural Payments for Hospitals. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded $21.5 million of income from provider relief fund related to PHSSE Fund and ARP funds received. The remaining unrecognized funds of $9.0 million are included in other accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company continues to evaluate its compliance with the terms and conditions to, and the financial impact of, the additional funds received, including potential repayment of the remaining balance.

Healthcare providers were required to sign an attestation confirming receipt of the PHSSE Fund amounts and agree to the terms and conditions of payment. Under the terms and conditions for receipt of the payment, the Company was allowed to use the funds to cover lost revenues and healthcare costs related to COVID-19, and the Company was required to properly and fully document the use of these funds to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The reporting of the funds is subject to future audit for compliance with the terms and conditions. The Company recognized PHSSE Fund amounts to the extent it had qualifying COVID-19 expenses or lost revenues as permitted under the terms and conditions.

During 2020, the Company applied for and received approximately $45.2 million of payments from the CMS Accelerated and Advance Payment Program. Of the $45.2 million of advance payments received in 2020, the Company repaid approximately $25.1 million of advance payments during 2021 and made additional repayments of approximately $20.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2022.

In addition, the Company received a 2% increase in facilities’ Medicare reimbursement rate as a result of the temporary suspension of Medicare sequestration from May 1, 2020 to March 31, 2022, which was reduced to 1% on April 1, 2022 and was eliminated effective July 1, 2022.

The CARES Act also provides for certain federal income and other tax changes. The Company received a cash benefit of approximately $39.3 million for 2020 relating to the delay of payment of the employer portion of Social Security payroll taxes. The Company repaid half of the $39.3 million of payroll tax deferrals during the third quarter of 2021 and repaid the remaining portion in the third quarter of 2022 to eliminate the liability.

These regulatory changes were temporary and expired at the end of the COVID-19 public health emergency on May 11, 2023.

The Company is continuing to evaluate the terms and conditions and financial impact of funds received under the CARES Act and other government relief programs.

Credit Facility

The Company entered into a credit agreement establishing a new senior credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) on March 17, 2021. The Credit Facility provides for a $600.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) and a $425.0 million senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility” and, together with the Revolving Facility, the “Senior Facilities”), with each maturing on March 17, 2026. The Revolving Facility further provides for (i) up to $20.0 million, which may be utilized for the issuance of letters of credit and (ii) the availability of a swingline facility under which the Company may borrow up to $20.0 million.

On March 30, 2023, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Credit Facility (the “First Amendment”). The First Amendment replaced LIBOR with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate as determined for a term of, at the Company’s option, one, three or six months, plus an adjustment of 0.10% (“Adjusted Term SOFR). Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the prime rate of Bank of America or (iii) Adjusted Term SOFR for a one month interest period or (b) Adjusted Term SOFR, in each case plus an applicable margin that varies according to the total leverage ratio of the Company from 0.375% to 1.250% in the case of base rate loans and from 1.375% to 2.250% in the case of Adjusted Term SOFR loans. In addition, an unused fee that varies according to the total leverage ratio of the Company from 0.200% to 0.350% is payable quarterly in arrears based on the average daily undrawn portion of the commitments in respect of the Revolving Facility. There is no significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as a result of the First Amendment.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company borrowed $40.0 million on the Revolving Facility and repaid $20.0 million of the balance outstanding. The Company had $501.6 million of availability under the Revolving Facility and had standby letters of credit outstanding of $3.4 million related to security for the payment of claims required by its workers’ compensation insurance program at June 30, 2023.

 

The Credit Facility requires quarterly term loan principal repayments for the Term Loan Facility of approximately $5.3 million for September 30, 2023 to March 31, 2024, approximately $8.0 million for June 30, 2024 to March 31, 2025, and approximately $10.6 million for June 30, 2025 to December 31, 2025, with the remaining principal balance of the Term Loan Facility due on the maturity date of March 17, 2026.

The Company has the ability to increase the amount of the Senior Facilities, which may take the form of increases to the Revolving Facility or the Term Loan Facility or the issuance of one or more incremental term loan facilities (collectively, the “Incremental Facilities”), upon obtaining additional commitments from new or existing lenders and the satisfaction of customary conditions precedent for such Incremental Facilities. Such Incremental Facilities may not exceed the sum of (i) the greater of $480.0 million and an amount equal to 100% of the Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Facility) of the Company and (ii) additional amounts that would not cause the Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) to exceed 3.5 to 1.0.

Subject to certain exceptions, substantially all of the Company’s existing and subsequently acquired or organized direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries are required to guarantee the repayment of the Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility. The Company and such guarantor subsidiaries have granted a security interest on substantially all personal property assets as collateral for the obligations under the Credit Facility.

The Credit Facility contains customary representations and affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional debt, grant or permit additional liens, make investments and acquisitions, merge or consolidate with others, dispose of assets, pay dividends and distributions, pay junior indebtedness and enter into affiliate transactions, in each case, subject to customary exceptions. In addition, the Credit Facility contains financial covenants requiring the Company on a consolidated basis to maintain, as of the last day of any consecutive four fiscal quarter period, a consolidated total net leverage ratio of not more than 5.0 to 1.0 and an interest coverage ratio of at least 3.0 to 1.0. The Credit Facility also includes events of default customary for facilities of this type and upon the occurrence of any such event of default, among other things, all outstanding loans under the Senior Facilities may be accelerated, the lenders’ commitments may be terminated, and/or the lenders may exercise collateral remedies. At June 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants.

Senior Notes

5.500% Senior Notes due 2028

On June 24, 2020, the Company issued $450.0 million of the 5.500% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “5.500% Senior Notes”). The 5.500% Senior Notes mature on July 1, 2028 and bear interest at a rate of 5.500% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each year, commencing on January 1, 2021.

5.000% Senior Notes due 2029

On October 14, 2020, the Company issued $475.0 million of 5.000% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “5.000% Senior Notes”). The 5.000% Senior Notes mature on April 15, 2029 and bear interest at a rate of 5.000% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on April 15, 2021.

The indentures governing the 5.500% Senior Notes and the 5.000% Senior Notes (together, the “Senior Notes”) contain covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to: (i) pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions or investments; (ii) incur additional debt or issue certain preferred stock; (iii) transfer or sell assets; (iv) engage in certain transactions with affiliates; (v) create restrictions on dividends or other payments by the restricted subsidiaries; (vi) merge, consolidate or sell substantially all of the Company's assets; and (vii) create liens on assets.

The Senior Notes issued by the Company are guaranteed by each of the Company’s subsidiaries that guarantee the Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility. The guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several.

The Company may redeem the Senior Notes at its option, in whole or part, at the dates and amounts set forth in the indentures.

12.
Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests in the consolidated financial statements represents the portion of equity held by noncontrolling partners in the Company’s non-wholly owned subsidiaries. At June 30, 2023, the Company operated eight facilities through non-wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company owns between approximately 65% and 87% of the equity interests of these entities, and noncontrolling partners own the remaining equity interests. The initial value of the noncontrolling interests is based on the fair value of contributions. The Company consolidates the operations of each facility based on its status as primary beneficiary, as further discussed in Note 13 – Variable Interest Entities. The noncontrolling interests are reflected as redeemable noncontrolling interests on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets based on put rights that could require the Company to purchase the noncontrolling interests upon the occurrence of a change in control.

The components of redeemable noncontrolling interests are as follows (in thousands):

Variable Interest Entities

For legal entities where the Company has a financial relationship, the Company evaluates whether it has a variable interest and determines if the entity is considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”). If the Company concludes an entity is a VIE and the Company is the primary beneficiary, the entity is consolidated. The primary beneficiary analysis is a qualitative analysis based on power and benefits. A reporting entity has a controlling financial interest in a VIE and must consolidate the VIE if it has both power and benefits. It must have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that potentially could be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that potentially could be significant to the VIE.

At June 30, 2023, the Company operated eight facilities through non-wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company owns between approximately 65% and 87% of the equity interests of these entities, and noncontrolling partners own the remaining equity interests. The Company manages each of these facilities, is responsible for the day-to-day operations and, therefore, has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. These activities include, but are not limited to, behavioral healthcare services, human resource and employment-related decisions, marketing and finance. The terms of the agreements governing each of the Company’s VIEs prohibit the Company from using the assets of each VIE to satisfy the obligations of other entities. Consolidated assets at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 include total assets of variable interest entities of $482.1 million and $434.2 million, respectively, which cannot be used to settle the obligations of other entities. Consolidated liabilities at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 include total liabilities of variable interest entities of $28.8 million and $24.4 million, respectively.

Equity-Based Compensation

Equity Incentive Plans

The Company issues stock-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units, to certain officers, employees and non-employee directors under the Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”). At June 30, 2023, a maximum of 12,700,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were authorized for issuance as stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units or other share-based compensation under the Equity Incentive Plan, of which 2,637,496 were available for future grant. Stock options may be granted for terms of up to ten years. The Company recognizes expense on all share-based awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the entire award. Grants to employees generally vest in annual increments of 25% each year, commencing one year after the date of grant. The exercise prices of stock options are equal to the most recent closing price of the Company’s common stock on the most recent trading date prior to the date of grant.

13


 

 

 

 

The Company recognized $7.3 million and $6.6 million in equity-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and $15.0 million and $14.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Stock compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 is impacted by forfeiture adjustments and restricted stock unit adjustments based on actual performance compared to vesting targets. At June 30, 2023, there was $92.3 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested options, restricted stock and restricted stock units, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting period of 1.5 years.

The Company recognized a deferred income tax benefit of $2.0 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to equity-based compensation expense. The Company recognized a deferred income tax benefit of $4.1 million and $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The Company’s estimate of expected volatility for stock options is based upon the volatility of its stock price over the expected life of the award. The risk-free interest rate is the approximate yield on U.S. Treasury Strips having a life equal to the expected option life on the date of grant. The expected life is an estimate of the number of years an option will be held before it is exercised.

Restricted stock awards are time-based vesting awards that vest over a period of three or four years and are subject to continuing service of the employee or non-employee director over the ratable vesting periods. The fair values of the restricted stock awards were determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the trading date immediately prior to the grant date.

Restricted stock units are granted to employees and are subject to Company performance compared to pre-established targets. In addition to Company performance, these performance-based restricted stock units are subject to the continuing service of the employee during the three-year period covered by the awards. The performance condition for the restricted stock units is based on the Company’s achievement of annually established targets for diluted earnings per share. The number of shares issuable at the end of the applicable vesting period of restricted stock units ranges from 0% to 200% of the targeted units based on the Company’s actual performance compared to the targets.

The fair values of restricted stock units were determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the trading date immediately prior to the grant date for units subject to performance conditions.

15.
Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 reflects effective tax rates of 23.7% and 25.3%, and 23.0% and 23.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

As the Company continues to monitor the implications of potential tax legislation in each of its jurisdictions, the Company may adjust estimates and record additional amounts for tax assets and liabilities. Any adjustments to the Company’s tax assets and liabilities could materially impact the provision for income taxes and its effective tax rate in the periods in which they are made.

Commitments and Contingencies

Professional and General Liability

A portion of the Company’s professional liability risks are insured through a wholly-owned insurance subsidiary providing coverage for up to $10.0 million per claim through August 31, 2022 and $5.0 million and $10.0 million for certain other claims thereafter. The Company has obtained reinsurance coverage from a third party to cover claims in excess of those retention limits. The reinsurance policy has a coverage limit of $75.0 million or $70.0 million for certain other claims in the aggregate. The Company’s reinsurance receivables are recognized consistent with the related liabilities and include known claims and any incurred but not reported claims that are covered by current insurance policies in place.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is, from time to time, subject to various claims, lawsuits, governmental investigations and regulatory actions, including claims for damages for personal injuries, medical malpractice, overpayments, breach of contract, securities law violations, tort and employment related claims. In these actions, plaintiffs request a variety of damages, including, in some instances, punitive and other types of damages that may not be covered by insurance. In addition, healthcare companies are subject to numerous investigations by various governmental agencies. Certain of the Company’s individual facilities have received, and from time to time, other facilities may receive, subpoenas, civil investigative demands, audit requests and other inquiries from, and may be subject to investigation by, federal and state agencies. These investigations can result in repayment obligations and violations of the False Claims Act can result in substantial monetary penalties and fines, the imposition of a corporate integrity agreement and exclusion from participation in governmental health programs. In addition, the federal False Claims Act permits private parties to bring qui tam, or “whistleblower,” suits against companies that submit false claims for payments to, or improperly retain overpayments from, the government. Some states have adopted similar state whistleblower and false claims provisions.

From October 2018 to August 2020, the Company, its subsidiary Youth and Family Centered Services of New Mexico (“Desert Hills”), and FamilyWorks, a not-for-profit treatment foster care program to which Desert Hills provided management services, including day-to-day administration of the program, via a management services agreement, were among a number of defendants named in five lawsuits filed in New Mexico State District Court (collectively, the “Desert Hills Litigation”). These lawsuits each related to abuse that occurred in foster homes where FamilyWorks had placed children. In 2021, the Company finalized out-of-court settlements for two of the five cases for amounts covered under the Company’s professional liability insurance.

On July 7, 2023, in connection with one of the lawsuits in the Desert Hills Litigation styled Inman v. Garcia, et al, Case No. D-117-CV-2019-00136 (the “Inman Litigation”), a jury awarded the plaintiff compensatory damages of $80 million and punitive damages of $405 million. This award far exceeds the Company’s reasonable expectation based on the previously resolved complaints and far exceeds any precedent for comparable cases. The Company is evaluating all legal options and intends to challenge this verdict. At this time, the Company is unable to quantify the ultimate liability in connection with the Inman litigation.

The two remaining lawsuits in the Desert Hills Litigation are styled Rael v. Garcia, et al, Case No. D-117-CV-2019-00135 and Endicott-Quinones v. Garcia, et al, Case No. D-117-CV-2019-00137. Both cases seek monetary damages for alleged abuse by the former treatment foster care parents and alleged negligence, professional liability, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and intentional spoliation of evidence by the corporate defendants. At this time, the Company is not able to quantify the ultimate liability in connection with the remaining lawsuits in the Desert Hills Litigation.

On April 1, 2019, a consolidated complaint was filed against the Company and certain former and current officers in the lawsuit styled St. Clair County Employees’ Retirement System v. Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc., et al., Case No. 3:19-cv-00988, which is pending in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. The complaint purports to be brought on behalf of a class consisting of all persons (other than defendants) who purchased securities of the Company between April 30, 2014 and November 15, 2018, and alleges that defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. On September 30, 2022, the court entered an order certifying a class consisting of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the common stock of the Company between April 30, 2014 and November 15, 2018. At this time, the Company is not able to quantify any potential liability in connection with this litigation because the case is in its early stages.

On February 21, 2019, a purported stockholder filed a related derivative action on behalf of the Company against certain former and current officers and directors in the lawsuit styled Davydov v. Joey A. Jacobs, et al., Case No. 3:19-cv-00167, which is pending in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. The complaint alleges claims for violations of Section 10(b) and 14(a) of the Exchange Act, breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, and unjust enrichment. On May 23, 2019, a purported stockholder filed a second related derivative action on behalf of the Company against certain former and current officers and directors in the lawsuit styled Beard v. Jacobs, et al., Case No. 3:19-cv-0441, which is pending the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. The complaint alleges claims for violations of Sections 10(b), 14(a), and 21D of the Exchange Act, breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, unjust enrichment, and insider selling. On June 11, 2019, the Davydov and Beard actions were consolidated. On February 22, 2021, the court entered an order staying the case. On October 23, 2020, a purported stockholder filed a third related derivative action on behalf of the Company against former and current officers and directors in the lawsuit styled Pfenning v. Jacobs, et al., Case No. 2020-0915-JRS, which is pending in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The complaint alleges claims for breach of fiduciary duty. On February 17, 2021, the court entered an order staying the case. On February 24, 2021, a purported stockholder filed a fourth derivative action on behalf of the Company against former and current officers and directors in the lawsuit styled Solak v. Jacobs, et al., Case No. 2021-0163, which is pending in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The complaint alleges claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, waste of corporate assets, and insider selling. At this time, the Company is not able to quantify any potential liability in connection with this litigation because the cases are in their early stages.

In the fall of 2017, the Office of Inspector General (“OIG”) issued subpoenas to three of the Company’s facilities requesting certain documents from January 2013 to the date of the subpoenas. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida issued a civil investigative demand to one of the Company’s facilities in December 2017 requesting certain documents from November 2012 to the date of the demand. In April 2019, the OIG issued subpoenas relating to six additional facilities requesting certain documents and information from January 2013 to the date of the subpoenas. The government’s investigation of each of these facilities is focused on claims not eligible for payment because of alleged violations of certain regulatory requirements relating to, among other things, medical necessity, admission eligibility, discharge decisions, length of stay and patient care issues. The Company is cooperating with the government’s investigation but is not able to quantify any potential liability in connection with these investigations.

Subsequent Events

In July 2023, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets of Turning Point Centers (“Turning Point”), a 76-bed specialty provider of substance use disorder and primary mental health treatment services that supports the Salt Lake City, Utah, metropolitan market. Turning Point provides a full continuum of treatment services, including residential, partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient services.

We do not undertake and specifically decline any obligation to update any such statements or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any such statements to reflect future events or developments.

Overview

Our business strategy is to acquire and develop behavioral healthcare facilities and improve our operating results within our facilities and our other behavioral healthcare operations. We strive to improve the operating results of our facilities by providing high-quality services, expanding referral networks and marketing initiatives while meeting the increased demand for behavioral healthcare services through expansion of our current locations as well as developing new services within existing locations. At June 30, 2023, we operated 250 behavioral healthcare facilities with approximately 11,000 beds in 39 states and Puerto Rico. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we added 204 beds to existing facilities and opened two CTCs. For the year ending December 31, 2023, we expect to add approximately 300 beds through additions to existing facilities, and we expect to open two wholly-owned facilities, two joint venture facilities and at least six CTCs.

We are the leading publicly traded pure-play provider of behavioral healthcare services in the U.S. Management believes that we are positioned as a leading platform in a highly fragmented industry under the direction of an experienced management team that has significant industry expertise. Management expects to take advantage of several strategies that are more accessible as a result of our increased size and geographic scale, including continuing a national marketing strategy to attract new patients and referral sources, increasing our volume of out-of-state referrals, providing a broader range of services to new and existing patients and clients and selectively pursuing opportunities to expand our facility and bed count in the U.S. through acquisitions, wholly-owned de novo facilities, joint ventures and bed additions in existing facilities.

COVID-19

During March 2020, the global pandemic of COVID-19 began to affect our facilities, employees, patients, communities, business operations and financial performance, as well as the broader U.S. economy and financial market. At many of our facilities, employees and/or patients have tested positive for COVID-19. We are committed to protecting the health of our communities and have been responding to the evolving COVID-19 situation while taking steps to provide quality care and protect the health and safety of our patients and employees. Over the last three years, all of our facilities have closely followed infectious disease protocols, as well as recommendations by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and local health officials.

 

CARES Act and Other Regulatory Matters

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law. The CARES Act is intended to provide over $2 trillion in stimulus benefits for the U.S. economy. Among other things, the CARES Act includes additional support for small businesses, expands unemployment benefits, makes forgivable loans available to small businesses, provides for certain federal income tax changes, and provides $500 billion for loans, loan guarantees, and other investments for or in U.S. businesses.

In addition, the CARES Act contains a number of provisions that are intended to assist healthcare providers as they combat the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Those provisions include, among others:

an appropriation to the PHSSE Fund, also known as the Provider Relief Fund, to reimburse, through grants or other mechanisms, eligible healthcare providers and other approved entities for COVID-19-related expenses or lost revenue;
the expansion of CMS’ Accelerated and Advance Payment Program;
the temporary suspension of Medicare sequestration from May 1, 2020 to March 31, 2022, which was reduced to 1% on
April 1, 2022 and was eliminated effective July 1, 2022; and
waivers or temporary suspension of certain regulatory requirements.

The U.S. government initially announced it would offer $100 billion of relief to eligible healthcare providers through the PHSSE Fund. On April 24, 2020, then President Trump signed into law the PPP Act. Among other things, the PPP Act allocated $75 billion to eligible healthcare providers to help offset COVID-19 related losses and expenses. The $75 billion allocated under the PPP Act was in addition to the $100 billion allocated to healthcare providers for the same purposes in the CARES Act and has been disbursed to providers under terms and conditions similar to the CARES Act funds. In 2020, we received approximately $34.9 million of the funds distributed from the PHSSE Fund. During the fourth quarter of 2020, we recorded approximately $32.8 million of income from provider relief fund related to PHSSE Fund amounts received in 2020.

In 2021, we received $24.2 million of additional funds from the PHSSE Fund. During the fourth quarter of 2021, we recorded $17.9 million of income from provider relief fund related to the PHSSE Fund amounts received. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we received $7.7 million of additional funds from the PHSSE Fund and $14.2 million from the ARP Rural Payments for Hospitals. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded $21.5 million of income from provider relief fund related to PHSSE Fund and ARP funds received. The remaining ARP funds of $9.0 million are included in other accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. We continue to evaluate our compliance with the terms and conditions to, and the financial impact of, these additional funds received, including potential repayment of the remaining balance.

Healthcare providers were required to sign an attestation confirming receipt of the PHSSE Fund amounts and agree to the terms and conditions of payment. Under the terms and conditions for receipt of the payment, we were allowed to use the funds to cover lost revenues and healthcare costs related to COVID-19, and we were required to properly and fully document the use of these funds to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The reporting of the funds is subject to future audit for compliance with the terms

20


 

 

 

 

and conditions. We recognized PHSSE Fund amounts to the extent we had qualifying COVID-19 expenses or lost revenues as permitted under the terms and conditions.

During 2020, we applied for and received approximately $45.2 million of payments from the CMS Accelerated and Advance Payment Program. Of the $45.2 million of advance payments received in 2020, we repaid approximately $25.1 million of advance payments during 2021 and made additional repayments of approximately $20.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2022 to eliminate the liability.

Under the CARES Act, we received a 2% increase in our facilities’ Medicare reimbursement rate as a result of the temporary suspension of Medicare sequestration from May 1, 2020 to March 31, 2022, which was reduced to 1% on April 1, 2022 and was eliminated effective July 1, 2022.

The CARES Act also provides for certain federal income and other tax changes. We received a cash benefit of approximately $39.3 million for 2020 relating to the delay of payment of the employer portion of Social Security payroll taxes. We repaid half of the $39.3 million of payroll tax deferrals during the third quarter of 2021 and repaid the remaining portion in the third quarter of 2022 to eliminate the liability.

These regulatory changes were temporary and expired at the end of the COVID-19 public health emergency on May 11, 2023.

We are continuing to evaluate the terms and conditions and financial impact of funds received under the CARES Act and other government relief programs.

We believe that we are well positioned to help meet the growing demand for behavioral health services and we recorded a revenue growth rate of more than 13% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. Similar to many other healthcare providers and other industries across the country, we continue to navigate a tight labor market. While we experienced higher wage inflation in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to long-term historical averages, we have seen stability in our labor costs and our proactive focus helps us manage through this environment. We remain focused on ensuring that we have the level of staff to meet the demand in our markets across our 39 states and Puerto Rico.

(a)
Results for the periods presented include facilities we have operated more than one year and exclude certain closed services.
(b)
Average length of stay is defined as patient days divided by admissions.
(c)
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income before provision for income taxes, equity-based compensation expense, loss on impairment, transaction-related expenses, interest expense and depreciation and amortization. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as an analytical indicator to measure performance and to develop strategic objectives and operating plans. Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used as an analytical indicator within the health care industry, and also serves as a measure of leverage capacity and debt service ability. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
(d)
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, excludes income from provider relief fund of $8.6 million.

Three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022

Revenue. Revenue increased $79.6 million, or 12.2%, to $731.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $651.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Same facility revenue increased $73.7 million, or 11.4%, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, resulting from an increase in same facility revenue per day of 6.1%, same facility growth in admissions of 4.3% and same facility growth in patient days of 4.9%. Consistent with same facility revenue growth in 2022, the growth in same facility patient days for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 resulted from the addition of beds to our existing facilities and ongoing demand for our services.

Salaries, wages and benefits. Salaries, wages and benefits (“SWB”) expense was $386.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $339.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $47.2 million. SWB expense included $7.3 million and $6.6 million of equity-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Excluding equity-based compensation expense, SWB expense was $379.3 million, or 51.9% of revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $332.8 million, or 51.1% of revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in SWB expense relates to incremental staff to support volume growth as well as wage inflation. Same facility SWB expense was $342.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, or 47.5% of revenue, compared to $308.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, or 47.6% of revenue.

Professional fees. Professional fees were $43.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, or 6.0% of revenue, compared to $40.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, or 6.2% of revenue. Same facility professional fees were $39.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, or 5.4% of revenue, compared to $37.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, or 5.8% of revenue.

Supplies. Supplies expense was $26.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, or 3.6% of revenue, compared to $25.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, or 3.8% of revenue. Same facility supplies expense was $25.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, or 3.6% of revenue, compared to $24.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, or 3.8% of revenue.

Rents and leases. Rents and leases were $11.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, or 1.6% of revenue, compared to $11.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, or 1.7% of revenue. Same facility rents and leases were $10.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, or 1.5% of revenue, compared to $10.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, or 1.6% of revenue.

Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses consisted primarily of purchased services, utilities, insurance, travel and repairs and maintenance expenses. Other operating expenses were $95.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, or 13.1% of revenue, compared to $84.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, or 13.0% of revenue. Same facility other operating expenses were $88.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, or 12.3% of revenue, compared to $80.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, or 12.5% of revenue.

Income from provider relief fund. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded $8.6 million in income from provider relief fund related to PHSSE Fund amounts received in 2021.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $32.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, or 4.4% of revenue, compared to $29.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, or 4.5% of revenue.

Interest expense. Interest expense was $20.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $16.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in interest expense was primarily a result of higher interest rates applicable to our variable rate debt.

Loss on impairment. During the second quarter of 2023, we recorded non-cash impairment charges totaling $8.7 million related to the closure of certain facilities. The non-cash impairment charges include indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment of $4.7 million, property impairment of $2.0 million and operating lease right-of-use asset impairment of $2.0 million.

Transaction-related expenses. Transaction-related expenses were $9.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Transaction-related expenses represent legal, accounting, termination, restructuring, management transition, acquisition and other similar costs incurred in the respective period, as summarized below (in thousands).

Provision for income taxes. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the provision for income taxes was $22.9 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 23.7%, compared to $27.7 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 25.3%, for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

As we continue to monitor the implications of potential tax legislation in each of our jurisdictions, we may adjust our estimates and record additional amounts for tax assets and liabilities. Any adjustments to our tax assets and liabilities could materially impact our provision for income taxes and our effective tax rate in the periods in which they are made.

Same facility revenue increased $155.3 million, or 12.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, resulting from an increase in same facility revenue per day of 6.3%, same facility growth in admissions of 6.4% and same facility growth in patient days of 5.7%. Consistent with same facility revenue growth in 2022, the growth in same facility patient days for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 resulted from the addition of beds to our existing facilities and ongoing demand for our services.

Salaries, wages and benefits. SWB expense was $777.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $675.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $102.7 million.

Revenue

Our revenue is primarily derived from services rendered to patients for inpatient psychiatric and substance abuse care, outpatient psychiatric care and adolescent residential treatment. We receive payments from the following sources for services rendered in our facilities: (i) state governments under their respective Medicaid and other programs; (ii) commercial insurers; (iii) the federal government under the Medicare program administered by CMS; and (iv) individual patients and clients. We determine the transaction price based on established billing rates reduced by contractual adjustments provided to third-party payors, discounts provided to uninsured patients and implicit price concessions. Contractual adjustments and discounts are based on contractual agreements, discount policies and historical experience. Implicit price concessions are based on historical collection experience.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $157.7 million compared to $135.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily consisted of $157.4 million of cash paid for capital expenditures and $0.9 million of other, offset by $0.6 million of proceeds from sales of property and equipment. Cash paid for capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $157.4 million, consisting of routine or maintenance capital expenditures of $39.5 million and expansion capital expenditures of $117.9 million. We define expansion capital expenditures as those that increase the capacity of our facilities or otherwise enhance revenue. Routine or maintenance capital expenditures, including information technology capital expenditures, were approximately 3% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily consisted of $132.4 million of cash paid for capital expenditures and $5.0 million of other, offset by $1.7 million of proceeds from the sale of property and equipment. Cash paid for capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2022 consisted of $32.2 million of routine capital expenditures and $100.2 million of expansion capital expenditures.

Our strategic plan does not require the repatriation of foreign cash in order to fund our operations in the U.S.

We believe existing cash on hand, cash flows from operations, the availability under our revolving line of credit and cash from additional financing will be sufficient to meet our expected liquidity needs during the next 12 months.

 

Desert Hills Litigation

As described in more detail in Note 17 – Commitments and Contingencies in the accompanying notes to our consolidated financial statements, on July 7, 2023, a jury in our pending Inman Litigation awarded the plaintiff compensatory damages of $80 million and punitive damages of $405 million. We are evaluating all legal options and intend to challenge this verdict. During the pendency of the challenge, we may be required to post a bond in an amount of up to $970 million. Neither the verdict nor the posting of the anticipated bond would result in a default under our debt instruments. At this time, we are not able to quantify the ultimate liability in connection with the Inman Litigation, or the potential liability in connection with similar unresolved lawsuits constituting the Desert Hills Litigation, however it may have a material impact on our financial condition and liquidity.

Credit Facility

We entered into a credit agreement establishing a new Credit Facility on March 17, 2021. The Credit Facility provides for a $600.0 million Revolving Facility and a $425.0 million Term Loan Facility, with each maturing on March 17, 2026. The Revolving Facility further provides for (i) up to $20.0 million which may be utilized for the issuance of letters of credit and (ii) the availability of a swingline facility under which we may borrow up to $20.0 million.

On March 30, 2023, we entered into the First Amendment. The First Amendment replaced LIBOR with Adjusted Term SOFR. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to, at our option, either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the prime rate of Bank of America or (iii) Adjusted Term SOFR for a one month interest period or (b) Adjusted Term SOFR, in each case plus an applicable margin that varies according to our total leverage ratio from 0.375% to 1.250% in the case of base rate loans and from 1.375% to 2.250% in the case of Adjusted Term SOFR loans. In addition, an unused fee that varies according to our total leverage ratio from 0.200% to 0.350% is payable quarterly in arrears based on the average daily undrawn portion of the commitments in respect of the Revolving Facility.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we borrowed $40.0 million on the Revolving Facility and repaid $20.0 million of the balance outstanding. We had $501.6 million of availability under the Revolving Facility and had standby letters of credit outstanding of $3.4 million related to security for the payment of claims required by our workers’ compensation insurance program at June 30, 2023.

The Credit Facility requires quarterly term loan principal repayments for our Term Loan Facility of $5.3 million for September 30, 2023 to March 31, 2024, $8.0 million for June 30, 2024 to March 31, 2025 and $10.6 million for June 30, 2025 to December 31, 2025, with the remaining principal balance of the Term Loan Facility due on the maturity date of March 17, 2026.

We have the ability to increase the amount of the Senior Facilities, which may take the form of increases to the Revolving Facility or the Term Loan Facility or the issuance of the Incremental Facilities, upon obtaining additional commitments from new or existing lenders and the satisfaction of customary conditions precedent for such Incremental Facilities. Such Incremental Facilities may not exceed the sum of (i) the greater of $480.0 million and an amount equal to 100% of our Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Facility), and (ii) additional amounts that would not cause the Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) to exceed 3.5 to 1.0.

Subject to certain exceptions, substantially all of our existing and subsequently acquired or organized direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries are required to guarantee the repayment of obligations under the Credit Facility. We and such guarantor subsidiaries have granted a security interest on substantially all personal property assets as
collateral for the obligations under the Credit Facility.

The interest rates and the unused line fee on unused commitments related to the Senior Facilities are based upon the following pricing tiers:

The Credit Facility contains customary representations and affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on our ability and our subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional debt, grant or permit additional liens, make investments and acquisitions, merge or consolidate with others, dispose of assets, pay dividends and distributions, pay junior indebtedness and enter into affiliate transactions, in each case, subject to customary exceptions. In addition, the Credit Facility contains financial covenants requiring us on a consolidated basis to maintain, as of the last day of any consecutive four fiscal quarter period, a consolidated total net leverage ratio of not more than 5.0 to 1.0 and an interest coverage ratio of at least 3.0 to 1.0. The Credit Facility also includes events of default customary for facilities of this type and upon the occurrence of any such event of default, among other things, all outstanding loans under the Senior Facilities may be accelerated, the lenders’ commitments may be terminated, and/or the lenders may exercise collateral remedies. At June 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all financial covenants.

(a)
Amounts include required principal and interest payments. The projected interest payments reflect the interest rates in place on our variable-rate debt at June 30, 2023.
(b)
Amounts exclude variable components of lease payments.

Critical Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies at June 30, 2023 from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Our interest expense is sensitive to changes in market interest rates. Our long-term debt outstanding at June 30, 2023 was composed of $915.1 million of fixed-rate debt and $457.3 million of variable-rate debt with interest based on Adjusted Term SOFR plus an applicable margin. Based on our borrowing level at June 30, 2023, a hypothetical 1% increase in interest rates would decrease our pretax income on an annual basis by approximately $4.6 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2023 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 5. Other Information

From time to time, certain of our executive officers and directors may enter into, amend or terminate written trading arrangements pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, none of the Company's directors or officers adopted or terminated any Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (as such terms are defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K).

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Information with respect to this item may be found in Note 17 – Commitments and Contingencies in the accompanying notes to our consolidated financial statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, an investor should carefully consider the factors discussed below and in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The risks described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to management or that management currently deems immaterial also may materially, adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results or cash flows.

 

We are and in the future may become involved in legal proceedings based on negligence or breach of a contractual or statutory duty from service users or their family members or from employees or former employees.

From time to time, we are subject to complaints and claims from service users and their family members alleging professional negligence, medical malpractice or mistreatment. We are also subject to claims for unlawful detention from time to time when patients allege they should not have been detained under applicable laws and regulations or where the appropriate procedures were not correctly followed.

Similarly, there may be substantial claims from employees in respect of personal injuries sustained in the performance of their duties. Current or former employees may also make claims against us in relation to breaches of employment laws. There may also be safeguarding incidents at our facilities which, depending on the circumstances, may result in custodial sentences or other criminal sanctions for the member of staff involved.

For example, as described in more detail in Note 17 – Commitments and Contingencies in the accompanying notes to our consolidated financial statements, on July 7, 2023, a jury in our pending Inman Litigation awarded the plaintiff compensatory damages of $80 million and punitive damages of $405 million, and could face additional damages in connection with similar unresolved lawsuits constituting the Desert Hills Litigation.

The incurrence of substantial legal fees, damage awards or other fines as well as the potential impact on our brand or reputation as a result of being involved in any legal proceedings could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We carry a large self-insured retention and may be responsible for significant amounts not covered by insurance. In addition, our insurance may be inadequate, premiums may increase and, if there is a significant deterioration in our claims experience, insurance may not be available on acceptable terms.

We are subject to medical malpractice lawsuits and other legal actions in the ordinary course of business. Some of these actions, such as the Desert Hills Litigation, may involve large claims, as well as significant defense costs. We cannot predict the outcome of these lawsuits or the effect that findings in such lawsuits may have on us. We maintain liability insurance intended to cover service user, third-party and employee personal injury claims. Due to the structure of our insurance program under which we carry a large self-insured retention, there may be substantial claims in respect of which the liability for damages and costs falls to us before being met by any insurance underwriter. There may also be claims in excess of our insurance coverage or claims which are not covered by our insurance due to other policy limitations or exclusions or where we have failed to comply with the terms of the policy. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain liability insurance coverage in the future on acceptable terms, or without substantial premium increases or at all, particularly if there is a deterioration in our claim experience history. A successful claim against us not covered by or in excess of our insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
