The Providence Service Corporation
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2019
(in thousands except years, share and per share data)
 
1.    Organization and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

The Providence Service Corporation (“we”, the “Company” or “Providence”) is the largest manager of non-emergency medical transportation (“NET”) programs for state governments and managed care organizations (“MCOs”) in the United States (“U.S.”). The Company’s NET Services segment operates under the brands LogistiCare and Circulation. Additionally, the Company owns a minority investment in CCHN Group Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Matrix”). Matrix is a nationwide provider of home and mobile-based healthcare services for health plans in the U.S., including comprehensive health assessments (“CHAs”), quality gap closure visits, “level of service” needs assessments, and post-acute and chronic care management, providing such services through a network of community-based clinicians and a fleet of mobile health clinics with advanced diagnostics capabilities.

During 2018, the Company announced an organizational consolidation plan ("Organizational Consolidation") to integrate substantially all activities and functions performed at the corporate holding company level into its NET Services segment. As the Organizational Consolidation was substantially complete beginning January 1, 2019, our former Corporate and Other segment was combined with the NET Services segment. See Note 8, Restructuring and Related Reorganization Costs, and Note 16, Segments, for further information.

Basis of Presentation

The Company follows accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The FASB establishes accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), which serves as the single source of authoritative non-SEC accounting and applicable reporting standards to be applied for non-governmental entities. All amounts are presented in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted.

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information, and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods have been included.

The Company has made estimates relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and certain disclosures in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019. Management has evaluated events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date and through the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were filed with the SEC and considered the effect of such events in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018 has been derived from audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

The Company accounts for its investment in Matrix using the equity method, as the Company does not control the decision-making process or business management practices of Matrix. While the Company has access to certain information and performs certain procedures to review the reasonableness of information, the Company relies on the management of Matrix to provide accurate financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company receives audit reports relating to such financial information from Matrix’s independent auditors on an annual basis. The Company is not aware of any errors in or possible misstatements of the financial information provided by Matrix that would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. See Note 5, Equity Investments, for further information.

2.    Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company adopted the following accounting pronouncements during the six months ended June 30, 2019:

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 introduced FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842 (“ASC 842”), which replaced ASC 840, Leases. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842 (Leases) (“ASU 2018-10”), which provides narrow amendments to clarify how to apply certain aspects of the new lease standard. Additionally, in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements (“ASU 2018-11”). ASU 2018-11 provides a new transition method and a practical expedient for separating components of a leasing contract.

The Company has not entered into significant lease agreements in which it is the lessor; however, the Company does have lease agreements in which it is the lessee. Under ASC 842, lessees are required to recognize a lease liability and right-of-use (ROU) asset for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the lease commencement date. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted this guidance, applied the modified retrospective transition method and elected the transition option to use the effective date as the date of initial application. The Company recognized the cumulative effect of the transition adjustment on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of the effective date and did not provide any new lease disclosures for periods before the effective date. With respect to the practical expedients, the Company elected the package of transitional-related practical expedients and the practical expedient not to separate lease and non-lease components. At January 1, 2019, the Company recorded $23,165 and $24,491 of additional ROU leased assets and liabilities, respectively, on its condensed consolidated balance sheet. The adoption did not have a material impact on the statement of operations. See Note 9, Leases, for further information.

In August 2018, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, amending certain disclosure requirements that were redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded. In addition, the amendments expanded the disclosure requirements on the analysis of stockholders’ equity for interim financial statements. Under the amendments, an analysis of changes in each caption of stockholders’ equity presented in the balance sheet must be provided in a note or separate statement. The analysis should present a reconciliation of the beginning balance to the ending balance of each period for which a statement of comprehensive income is required to be filed. The Company adopted this new rule in the quarter ended March 31, 2019 by including the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.

Recent accounting pronouncements that the Company has yet to adopt are as follows:

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”). The amendments in ASU 2016-13 will supersede or clarify much of the existing guidance for reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. ASU 2016-13 is effective for financial statements

12



issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 removes certain disclosures, modifies certain disclosures and added additional disclosures. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2018-13 requires certain disclosures to be applied on a retrospective basis and others on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2018-13 on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software: Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018-15”). ASU 2018-15 will align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2018-15 on its consolidated financial statements.

Current assets of discontinued operations principally reflect the cash position of WD Services operations in Saudi Arabia, which was not sold as part of the WD Services sale. Such cash will be used to fund the shut-down costs of this operation as needed. See Note 15, Discontinued Operations, for further information on the WD Services sale.

5.    Equity Investment

As of both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company owned a 43.6% non-controlling interest in Matrix. Pursuant to a shareholder’s agreement, affiliates of Frazier Healthcare Partners hold rights necessary to control the fundamental operations of Matrix. The Company accounts for this investment in Matrix under the equity method of accounting with the Company’s share of Matrix’s income or losses recorded as “Equity in net loss of investee” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The carrying amount of the assets included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and the maximum loss exposure related to the Company’s interest in Matrix as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 totaled $157,948 and $161,503, respectively.

8.    Restructuring and Related Reorganization Costs

On April 11, 2018, the Company announced the Organizational Consolidation to transfer all job responsibilities previously performed by employees of the holding company to LogistiCare and to close the corporate offices in Stamford, Connecticut and Tucson, Arizona. The Company adopted an employee retention plan designed to retain the holding company level employees during the transition. The employee retention plan became effective on April 9, 2018 and provided for certain payments and benefits to these employees if they remain employed with the Company through a retention date established for each individual, subject to a fully executed retention letter. The Organizational Consolidation was completed during the second quarter of 2019.

A total of $1,344 and $3,355 in restructuring and related costs was incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, related to the Organizational Consolidation. These costs include, respectively, $823 and $2,217 of retention and personnel costs, $89 and $279 of stock-based compensation expense, $93 and $236 of depreciation and $339 and $623 of other costs, primarily related to recruiting and legal costs. These costs are recorded as “General and administrative expense” and “Depreciation and amortization” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

A total of $12,152 in restructuring and related costs was incurred on a cumulative basis through June 30, 2019 related to the Organizational Consolidation. These costs include $7,314 of retention and personnel costs, $2,011 of stock-based compensation expense, $673 of depreciation and $2,154 of other costs, primarily related to recruiting and legal costs. These costs are recorded as “General and administrative expense” and “Depreciation and amortization” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

9.    Leases

Effective January 1, 2019, as described more fully in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements, the Company adopted ASC 842 and recognized lease obligations and associated ROU assets for its existing non-cancelable operating leases. The Company has non-cancelable operating leases primarily associated with office space, related office equipment and other facilities.

The leases expire in various years and generally provide for renewal options. In the normal course of business, management expects that these leases will be renewed or replaced by leases on other properties.
 
Certain operating leases provide for increases in future minimum annual rental payments based on defined increases in the Consumer Price Index, subject to certain minimum increases. Several of these lease agreements contain provisions for periods in which rent payments are reduced. The total amount of rental payments due over the lease term is recorded as rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

At June 30, 2019, the Company had 615,301 stock options outstanding with a weighted-average exercise price of $62.69. The Company also had 51,799 shares of unvested RSAs outstanding at June 30, 2019 with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $61.29.

Awards Granted to the Interim Chief Executive Officer

On February 1, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement for a base salary and the eligibility of a cash bonus with R. Carter Pate for his continued employment as the Company’s Interim CEO through December 31, 2019. In addition, the agreement granted Mr. Pate an award of 23,317 shares of restricted stock (the “Restricted Shares”), representing a value of $1,500 based on the closing price per share of the Company’s stock on the grant date. The Restricted Shares will vest if Mr. Pate remains employed with the Company through December 31, 2019. If the Company terminates Mr. Pate’s employment during 2019 because his services are no longer required, the Restricted Shares will vest and Mr. Pate will be entitled to the remaining unpaid portion of his 2019 base salary and payment of the 2019 bonus in an amount based on actual achievement of the performance measures. If a change in control of the Company occurs during 2019, the Restricted Shares will vest and Mr. Pate will be entitled to the remaining unpaid portion of his 2019 base salary and payment of the 2019 bonus at the target level.

Cash-Settled Awards

The Company also grants stock equivalent unit awards (“SEUs”) and stock option equivalent units that are cash-settled awards and are not included as part of the 2006 Plan. During the three months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, the Company recorded $1,762 of stock-based compensation income and $1,795 of stock-based compensation expense for cash-settled awards, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, the Company recorded $573 of stock-based compensation income and $3,626 of stock-based compensation expense for cash-settled awards, respectively. The expense for cash-settled awards is included as “General and administrative expense” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As the instruments are accounted for as liability awards, the income or expense recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 is almost entirely attributable to the Company’s change in stock price from the previous reporting period. The liability for unexercised cash-settled share-based payment awards of $2,954 and $3,719 at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, is reflected in “Accrued expenses” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. At June 30, 2019, the Company had 4,234 SEUs and 200,000 stock option equivalent units outstanding.

Long-Term Incentive Plans

In connection with the acquisition of Circulation during 2018, the Company established a management incentive plan (“MIP”) that is intended to motivate key employees of Circulation. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the MIP was amended to remove the previously included performance requirements and to provide for a total fixed payment of $12,000 to the group of MIP participants. The payout date is within 30 days following the finalization of the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021 and the payout is subject to the participant remaining employed by the Company through December 31, 2021, except for certain termination scenarios. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company has accrued $2,808 and $1,441, respectively, related to the MIP and reflected in “Other long-term liabilities” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

12.    Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was 29.0% and 35.6%, respectively. The effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was 35.1% and 24.7%, respectively.These effective tax rates from continuing operations were higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes and certain non-deductible expenses offset, in part, by the favorable impact of stock option deductions.

As discussed in Note 15, Discontinued Operations, the Company transferred its operations in Saudi Arabia to its contractual counterparties on January 1, 2019.  In connection with the dissolution of its Saudi Arabia legal entity, the Company is protesting withholding tax and income tax assessments for the years 2012 through 2017.  The Company does not believe this will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of discontinued operations.

13.    Commitments and Contingencies

Debt

Subsequent to June 30, 2019, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Sixth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Amendment”), amending the Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement dated as of August 2, 2013 (as amended to date, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, the guarantors from time to time party thereto, the lenders from time to time party thereto and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent. The Amendment extends the maturity date of the Credit Agreement to August 2, 2020. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had no amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

Legal proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is a party to various lawsuits. Management does not expect these lawsuits to have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company.

On January 21, 2019, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio unsealed a qui tam complaint, filed in December 2015, against Mobile Care Group, Inc., Mobile Care Group of Ohio, LLC, Mobile Care EMS & Transport, Inc. and LogistiCare Solutions, LLC (“LogistiCare”) by Brandee White, Laura Cunningham, and Jeffery Wisier (the “Relators”) alleging violations of the federal False Claims Act by presenting claims for payment to government healthcare programs knowing that the prerequisites for such claims to be paid had not been met. The Relators seek to recover damages, fees and costs under the federal False Claims Act including treble damages, civil penalties and attorneys’ fees. In addition, the Relators seek reinstatement to their jobs with the Mobile Care entities. None of the Relators was employed by LogistiCare. Prior to January 21, 2019, LogistiCare had no knowledge of the complaint. The federal government has declined to intervene against LogistiCare. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the Complaint on April 22, 2019, and believes that the case will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.


21



On March 1, 2019, Meher Patel filed suit against the Company in the Superior Court of the State of California, Tuolumne County, on behalf of herself and as a class action on behalf of others similarly situated, asserting violations under the California Labor Code relating to the alleged failure by LogistiCare to comply with certain applicable state wage and related employment requirements, as well as claims of breach of contract and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.  The plaintiff seeks to recover an unspecified amount of damages and penalties, as well as certification as a class action.  No amounts have been accrued for any potential losses under this matter, as management cannot reasonably predict the outcome of the litigation or any potential losses.  The Company intends to defend the litigation vigorously and believes that the case will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations. 

Indemnifications

The Company provided certain standard indemnifications in connection with the sale of the Human Services segment to Molina Healthcare Inc. (“Molina”) effective November 1, 2015. Certain representations made by the Company in the related Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) including tax representations, survive until the expiration of applicable statutes of limitation. Molina and the Company entered into a settlement agreement regarding indemnification claims by Molina with respect to Rodriguez v. Providence Community Corrections (the “Rodriguez Litigation”), a complaint filed in the District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, Nashville Division, against Providence Community Corrections, Inc. (“PCC”), an entity sold under the Purchase Agreement. The Company expects to recover a portion of the settlement through insurance coverage, although this cannot be assured.

The Company has provided certain standard indemnifications in connection with its Matrix stock subscription transaction whereby Mercury Fortuna Buyer, LLC (“Subscriber”), Providence and Matrix entered into a stock subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”), dated August 28, 2016.  The representations and warranties made by the Company in the Subscription Agreement ended January 19, 2018; however, certain fundamental representations survive through the 36th month following the closing date.  The covenants and agreements of the parties to be performed prior to the closing ended January 19, 2018, and all other covenants and agreements survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations in the event of a breach, or for such lesser periods specified therein. The Company is not aware of any indemnification liabilities with respect to Matrix that require accrual at June 30, 2019.

The Company has provided certain standard indemnifications in connection with the sale of substantially all of its WD Services segment to Advanced Personnel Management Global Pty Ltd of Australia (“APM”), which closed on December 21, 2018.  The non-title warranties made by the Company in the related Share Purchase Agreement survive for 18 months following the closing date, and the title-related warranties and tax warranties survive five years from the closing date. The Company is not aware of any indemnification liabilities with respect to the former WD Services segment that require accrual at June 30, 2019.

On May 9, 2018, the Company entered into a registration indemnification agreement with Coliseum Capital Partners, L.P., Coliseum Capital Partners II, L.P., Blackwell Partners, LLC - Series A and Coliseum Capital Co-Invest, L.P. (collectively, the “Coliseum Stockholders”), who as of June 30, 2019 collectively held approximately 9.4% of the Company’s outstanding common stock and approximately 95.7% of the Company’s outstanding Preferred Stock, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to indemnify the Coliseum Stockholders, and the Coliseum Stockholders have agreed to indemnify the Company, against certain matters relating to the registration of the selling stockholders’ securities for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

14.    Transactions with Related Parties

Convertible preferred stock dividends earned by the Coliseum Stockholders during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 totaled $1,050 in both periods. Convertible preferred stock dividends earned by the Coliseum Stockholders during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 totaled $2,089 in both periods.

15.  Discontinued Operations

On December 21, 2018, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the operating subsidiaries of its WD Services segment to APM and APM UK Holdings Limited, an affiliate of APM, except for the segment’s employment services operations in Saudi Arabia. The Company’s contractual counterparties in Saudi Arabia, including an entity owned by the Saudi Arabian government, assumed these operations beginning January 1, 2019.

On June 11, 2018, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement to sell the shares of Ingeus France, its WD Services operation in France, for a de minimis amount. The sale was effective on July 17, 2018.


22



On November 1, 2015, the Company completed the sale of its Human Services segment. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded additional expenses related to the Human Services segment, principally related to previously disclosed legal proceedings.

16.    Segments

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company substantially completed its Organizational Consolidation changing from a holding company that previously owned a portfolio of companies to an operating company structure that provides NET services and has an investment in Matrix. As a result, beginning January 1, 2019, the Company’s chief operating decision maker reviews financial performance and allocates resources based on two segments as follows:

NET Services - which operates primarily under the brands LogistiCare and Circulation, is the largest manager of NET programs for state governments and MCOs in the U.S and includes the Company’s activities for executive, accounting, finance, internal audit, tax, legal, certain strategic and development functions and the Company’s captive insurance company.


25



Matrix Investment - which consists of a minority investment in Matrix, a nationwide provider of home and mobile-based healthcare services for health plans in the U.S., including CHAs, quality gap closure visits, “level of service” needs assessments, and post-acute and chronic care management, providing such services through a network of community-based clinicians, and a fleet of mobile health clinics with advanced diagnostics capabilities.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, as well as our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. For purposes of “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” references to Q2 2019 and Q2 2018 mean the three months ended June 30, 2019 and the three months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, and references to YTD 2019 and YTD 2018 mean the six months ended June 30, 2019 and the six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.

Overview of Our Business

We own a subsidiary and an investment primarily engaged in the provision of healthcare services in the United States. The Company’s NET Services segment, which primarily operates under the brands LogistiCare and Circulation, is the largest manager of non-emergency medical transportation (“NET”) programs for state governments and managed care organizations (“MCOs”) in the United States (“U.S.”). In addition, the NET Services segment now includes the Company’s activities related to executive, accounting, finance, internal audit, tax, legal, certain strategic and corporate development functions and the results of the Company’s captive insurance company. During 2018, the Company announced an Organizational Consolidation plan (Organizational Consolidation) to integrate substantially all activities and functions performed at the corporate holding company level into its wholly-owned subsidiary, LogistiCare Solutions LLC ("LogistiCare"). Effective January 1, 2019, the consolidation was substantially complete. LogistiCare will retain its name and continue to be headquartered in Atlanta, GA, and the Company will continue to be named The Providence Service Corporation and be listed on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol “PRSC”. See Note 8, Restructuring and Related Reorganization Costs, and Note 16, Segments, in our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on the Organizational Consolidation.

Our Matrix Investment segment consists of a minority investment in CCHN Group Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Matrix”), a nationwide provider of home and mobile-based healthcare services for health plans in the United States, including comprehensive health assessments, quality gap closure visits, “level of service” needs assessments, and post-acute and chronic care management. Matrix provides these services through a network of community-based clinicians and a fleet of mobile health clinics with advanced diagnostics capabilities.

Business Outlook and Trends
 
Our performance is affected by a number of trends that drive the demand for our services. In particular, the markets in which we operate are exposed to various trends such as healthcare industry and demographic dynamics. Over the long term, we believe there are numerous factors that could affect growth within the industries in which we operate, including:
an aging population, which will increase demand for healthcare services and transportation;
a movement towards value-based versus fee for service care and budget pressure on governments, both of which may increase the use of private corporations to provide necessary and innovative services;
increasing demand for in-home care provision, driven by cost pressures on traditional reimbursement models and technological advances enabling remote engagement;
technological advancements, which may be utilized by us to improve service and lower costs, but also by others which may increase industry competitiveness;
MCOs that provide Medicare advantage are increasingly providing non-emergency medical transportation services as a benefit in accordance with current social trends; and
proposals by the President of the United States and Congress to change the Medicaid program, including considering converting the Medicaid program to a block grant format or capping the federal contribution to state Medicaid programs to a fixed amount per beneficiary, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ grant of waivers to states relative to the parameters of their Medicaid programs. Enactment of adverse legislation, regulation or agency guidance, or litigation challenges to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, state Medicaid programs, or other governmental programs may reduce the eligibility or demand for our services, our ability to conduct some or all of our business and/or reimbursement rates for services performed within our segments.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies


28



As discussed in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements, and Note 9, Leases, in our condensed consolidated financial statements, as of January 1, 2019, the Company adopted a new standard on leases. Other than this standard, there have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies to our condensed consolidated financial statements. For further discussion of our critical accounting policies, see management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Results of Operations

Segment reporting. Our segments reflect the manner in which our operations are organized and reviewed by management.
We operate in one principal business segment, NET Services. Our investment in Matrix is also a reportable segment referred to as the “Matrix Investment”. Segment results are based on how our chief operating decision maker manages our business, makes operating decisions and evaluates operating performance. The operating results of our principal business segment include revenue and expenses incurred by the segment, as well as, effective January 1, 2019, the Company’s activities that include executive, accounting, finance, internal audit, tax, legal, certain strategic and corporate development functions and the results of the Company’s captive insurance company. See Note 16, Segments, in our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on our change in segments during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Discontinued operations. During prior years, the Company completed the following transactions, which resulted in the presentation of the related operations as Discontinued Operations.

On December 21, 2018, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the operating subsidiaries of its WD Services segment to Advanced Personnel Management Global Pty Ltd of Australia (“APM”) and APM UK Holdings Limited, an affiliate of APM, except for the segment’s employment services operations in Saudi Arabia. The Company’s contractual counterparties in Saudi Arabia, including an entity owned by the Saudi Arabian government, assumed these operations beginning January 1, 2019. Additionally, on June 11, 2018, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement to sell Ingeus France for a de minimis amount. The sale was effective on July 17, 2018.

On November 1, 2015, the Company completed the sale of its Human Services segment. In addition to the results through the sale date, the Company has recorded additional expenses related to legal proceedings associated with an indemnified legal matter.

Service revenue, net. Service revenue, net for NET Services for Q2 2019 increased $20.2 million, or 5.9%, compared to Q2 2018.  The increase in Q2 2019 was primarily related to a new state contract in West Virginia and new MCO contracts in Minnesota and Louisiana, higher utilization across multiple not at-risk and reconciliation contracts and the addition of Circulation, which contributed $11.3 million of revenue. These increases were partially offset by the impact of contracts we no longer serve, including a state contract in Rhode Island and an MCO contract in California.

Service expense, net. Service expense for our NET Services segment included the following for Q2 2019 and Q2 2018 (in thousands):

Service expense for Q2 2019 increased $28.2 million, or 8.9%, compared to Q2 2018 due primarily to higher purchased transportation costs. Transportation costs increased as a result of higher utilization across multiple contracts and higher per unit cost.

General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense for Q2 2019 decreased $1.3 million, or 7.1%, compared to Q2 2018. The decrease was due primarily to cost savings generated as part of the Organizational Consolidation,
partially offset by additional costs associated with Circulation during Q2 2019.

Asset impairment charge. Asset impairment charge of $0.7 million was incurred in Q2 2018 in relation to the decision to abandon specific development work intended to synchronize data across applications of the proprietary LCAD Nextgen system, based on the determination of an alternative method to accomplish this task.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization for Q2 2019 increased $0.6 million compared to Q2 2018 primarily due to the addition of long-lived assets relating to information technology projects.

Interest expense, net. Consolidated interest expense for Q2 2019 was $0.3 million, as a result of borrowing and credit facility administration costs, and $0.2 million for Q2 2018, as a result of credit facility administration costs.

Equity in net loss of investee. Our equity in net loss of investee for Q2 2019 of $1.3 million was a result of our equity in net loss for Matrix. Included in Matrix’s Q2 2019 standalone results are depreciation and amortization of $11.3 million, interest expense of $6.4 million, equity compensation of $0.3 million, management fees paid to certain of Matrix’s shareholders of $0.6 million, transactions costs of $0.3 million, and an income tax benefit of $1.2 million.

For Q2 2018, our equity in net loss of investee of $0.2 million was a result of our equity in net loss for Matrix. Included in Matrix’s standalone Q2 2018 results were equity compensation of $0.9 million, management fees paid to certain of Matrix’s shareholders of $0.7 million, depreciation and amortization of $9.4 million, interest expense of $5.9 million, integration costs of $1.6 million and an income tax benefit of $0.4 million.

Provision for income taxes. The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations for Q2 2019 and Q2 2018 was 29.0% and 35.1%, respectively. These effective tax rates from continuing operations were higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes and certain non-deductible expenses offset, in part, by the favorable impact of stock option deductions.

Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax. Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, includes the activity related to our former WD Services and Human Services segments. See Note 15, Discontinued Operations, to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

For Q2 2019, the income from discontinued operations, net of tax, for our former WD Services segment was $1.8 million. The income includes administrative costs related to the wind-down of the WD Services entity in Saudi Arabia. The operations in Saudi Arabia, including personnel, leased facilities and certain assets necessary to provide the employment services, were transferred to a third party as of January 1, 2019, and thus the Company is no longer providing services in Saudi Arabia. For Q2 2019, the loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, for our former Human Services segment was less than $0.1 million.

For Q2 2018, the loss on discontinued operations, net of tax, primarily for our former WD Services segment was $13.4 million. Included in this loss was an operating loss of $12.8 million and a provision for income taxes of $0.6 million.

Net income from discontinued operations attributable to non-controlling interests. For Q2 2018, net income from discontinued operations attributable to non-controlling interests primarily related to a minority interest held by a third-party operating partner in our company servicing the offender rehabilitation contract within our historical WD Services segment.

Service expense for YTD 2019 increased $65.6 million, or 10.6%, compared to YTD 2018 due primarily to higher purchased transportation costs and operational payroll and related costs. Transportation costs increased as a result of higher utilization across multiple contracts and higher per unit cost.

General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense for YTD 2019 increased $0.2 million or 0.6%, compared to YTD 2018. The increase was due primarily to the additional costs associated with Circulation during YTD 2019, partially offset by the net cost savings generated as part of the Organizational Consolidation.

Asset impairment charge. Asset impairment charge of $0.7 million was incurred in YTD 2018 in relation to the decision to abandon specific development work intended to synchronize data across applications of the proprietary LCAD Nextgen system, based on the determination of an alternative method to accomplish this task.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization for YTD 2019 increased $1.5 million compared to YTD 2018 primarily due to the addition of long-lived assets relating to information technology projects.

Interest expense, net. Consolidated interest expense, net was $0.6 million for both YTD 2019 and YTD 2018, as a result of borrowing and credit facility administration costs.

Equity in net loss of investee. Our equity in net loss of investees for YTD 2019 of $3.0 million includes the equity in net loss of Matrix. Included in Matrix’s standalone YTD 2019 results are depreciation and amortization of $22.5 million, interest expense of $12.8 million, equity compensation of $0.9 million, management fees paid to Matrix’s shareholders of $1.3 million, integration costs of $1.5 million, transactions costs of $0.3 million and income tax benefit of $2.5 million.

Our equity in net loss of investee for YTD 2018 of $2.5 million includes the equity in net loss of Matrix. Included in Matrix’s standalone YTD 2018 results are depreciation and amortization of $18.4 million, interest expense of $16.3 million, equity compensation of $1.6 million, management fees paid to Matrix’s shareholders of $3.8 million, merger and acquisition diligence related costs of $2.2 million, integration costs of $2.4 million and an income tax benefit of $3.1 million.

Provision for income taxes. Our effective tax rates from continuing operations for YTD 2019 and YTD 2018 were 35.6% and 24.7%, respectively. These effective tax rates from continuing operations were higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes and certain non-deductible expenses offset, in part, by the favorable impact of stock option deductions.

Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax. Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, includes the activity related to our former WD Services and Human Services segments. See Note 15, Discontinued Operations, to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

For YTD 2019, the income from discontinued operations, net of tax, for our former WD Services segment was $1.1 million. The income includes administrative costs related to the wind-down of the WD Services entity in Saudi Arabia. The operations in Saudi Arabia, including personnel, leased facilities and certain assets necessary to provide the employment services, were transferred to a third party as of January 1, 2019, and thus the Company is no longer providing services in Saudi Arabia. For Q2 2019, the loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, for our former Human Services segment was $0.2 million.

For Q2 2018, the loss on discontinued operations, net of tax, primarily for our former WD Services segment was $15.1 million. Included in this loss was an operating loss of $15.3 million and a provision for income taxes of $0.4 million, offset by a gain on foreign currency transactions of $0.6 million.

Net income from discontinued operations attributable to non-controlling interests. For YTD 2018, net income from discontinued operations attributable to non-controlling interests primarily related to a minority interest held by a third-party operating partner in our company servicing the offender rehabilitation contract within our historical WD Services segment.

Seasonality

While revenue is generally fixed, primarily as a result of the capitated nature of the majority of our contracts, service expense varies based on the utilization of our services. The quarterly operating income and cash flows of NET Services normally fluctuate as a result of seasonal variations in the business, principally due to lower transportation demand during the winter season and higher demand during the summer season.

Liquidity and capital resources

33




Short-term capital requirements consist primarily of recurring operating expenses, new contract start-up costs and costs associated with our Organizational Consolidation and other strategic initiatives. We expect to meet our cash requirements through available cash on hand, cash generated from NET Services, and borrowing capacity under our Credit Facility (as defined below).

Our balance of cash and cash equivalents was $29.8 million and $5.7 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. We had restricted cash of $3.7 million and $4.4 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, primarily related to contractual obligations and activities of our captive insurance subsidiary. Given expiring policies under our captive insurance subsidiary were not renewed upon expiration in May 2017, we expect our restricted cash balances to decline over time. These restricted cash amounts are not included in our balance of cash and cash equivalents in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, although they are included in the cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balance on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. At both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had no amounts outstanding under our Credit Facility.

We may, from time to time, access capital markets to raise equity or debt financing for various business reasons, including acquisitions. We may also raise debt financing to fund future repurchases of our common stock. The timing, term, size, and pricing of any such financing will depend on investor interest and market conditions, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain any such financing.

The cash flow statements for all periods presented include both continuing and discontinued operations. Discontinued operations include the activity of our historical WD Services and Human Services segments. The income from discontinued operations was $1.0 million for YTD 2019 and the loss from discontinued operations was $15.1 million for YTD 2018.

YTD 2019 cash flows compared to YTD 2018

Operating activities. Cash provided by operating activities was $23.1 million for YTD 2019, an increase of $31.0 million as compared with YTD 2018. YTD 2019 and YTD 2018 cash flow from operations were driven by net loss of $1.1 million and $5.7 million, respectively, non-cash adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities of $14.3 million and $27.5 million, respectively, and changes in working capital of positive $9.9 million and negative $29.8 million, respectively. The change in working capital was primarily driven by the following:
Accounts receivable generated a cash outflow for YTD 2019 of $7.4 million as compared to an outflow of $34.0 million for YTD 2018. The decrease in cash outflow of $26.6 million was primarily attributable to the timing of collections from a limited number of payers, as well as higher receivables at June 30, 2018 by our discontinued WD Services segment in certain foreign jurisdictions, including Saudi Arabia, which had experienced significant delays in payment.
Prepaid expense and other generated a cash outflow for YTD 2019 of $4.5 million as compared to an outflow of $11.0 million for YTD 2018. The decrease in cash outflow of $6.5 million is due primarily to our discontinued WD Services segment whereby our YTD 2019 cash flows do not include cash outflows for WD Services' contract assets and costs to fulfill contracts.
Income tax receivable on sale of business generated a cash inflow of $8.2 million related to U.S. tax payments made previously in 2018 which were refunded in YTD 2019 as a result of the loss from sale of our WD Services segment.
Accounts payable and accrued expenses generated a cash inflow for YTD 2019 of $9.8 million as compared to an outflow of $4.9 million for YTD 2018. The increase in cash inflow of $14.6 million is due primarily to the timing of vendor payments.
Accrued transportation costs of NET Services generated a cash inflow of $2.9 million in YTD 2019, as compared to a cash inflow of $10.5 million in YTD 2018. The decrease in cash inflow of $7.6 million is due primarily to higher purchased service expense and timing of payments.
Deferred revenue generated a cash outflow of $0.4 million in YTD 2019, as compared to a cash inflow of $10.8 million in YTD 2018. The increase in cash outflow of $11.2 million is due primarily to our discontinued WD Services segment whereby our YTD 2019 cash flows do not include cash inflows for WD Services' cash payments received on contracts in advance of services being performed.

Investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities of $4.3 million in YTD 2019 decreased by $1.4 million as compared to YTD 2018. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the purchase of property and equipment, as YTD 2018 included purchases of property and equipment of $3.2 million by our discontinued operations. Also, YTD 2018 included proceeds received on a note receivable related to the sale of a building in 2016.


34



Financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities of $3.3 million in YTD 2019 increased $51.3 million as compared to YTD 2018. During YTD 2018, we repurchased $56.4 million of our common stock compared to $0.4 million in YTD 2019. Additionally, as a partial offset, in YTD 2018, proceeds from common stock issued pursuant to stock option exercises was $6.0 million more than in YTD 2019.

Obligations and commitments

Credit Facility. We are party to the amended and restated credit and guaranty agreement, dated as of August 2, 2013 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and letter of credit issuer, and the other lenders party thereto. The Credit Agreement provides us with a $200.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), including a sub-facility of $25.0 million for letters of credit. As of June 30, 2019, we had no borrowings and ten letters of credit in the amount of $12.4 million outstanding. As of June 30, 2019, our available credit under the Credit Facility was $187.6 million.

Subsequent to June 30, 2019, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered an amendment, whereby amending the Credit Agreement, by and among the Company, the guarantors from time to time party thereto, the lenders from time to time party thereto and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent. The Amendment extends the maturity date of the Credit Agreement to August 2, 2020.

Under the Credit Agreement, the Company has an option to request an increase in the amount of the revolving credit facility or in a term loan facility from time to time (on substantially the same terms as apply to the existing facility) in an aggregate amount of up to $75.0 million with either additional commitments from lenders under the Credit Agreement at such time or new commitments from financial institutions acceptable to the administrative agent in its reasonable discretion, so long as no default or event of default exists at the time of any such increase. The Company may not be able to access additional funds under this increase option as no lender is obligated to participate in any such increase under the Credit Facility. We  may from time to time incur additional indebtedness, obtain additional financing or refinance existing indebtedness subject to market conditions and our financial condition. 

We may prepay any outstanding principal under the Credit Facility in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty, subject to reimbursement of the lenders’ breakage and redeployment costs in connection with prepayments of London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, loans. The unutilized portion of the commitments under the Credit Facility may be irrevocably reduced or terminated by us at any time without penalty.
 
Interest on the outstanding principal amount of any loans accrues, at our election, at a per annum rate equal to LIBOR, plus an applicable margin or the base rate plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 2.25% to 3.25% in the case of LIBOR loans and 1.25% to 2.25% in the case of the base rate loans, in each case, based on our consolidated leverage ratio as defined in the Credit Agreement. Interest on any loans is payable quarterly in arrears. In addition, we are obligated to pay a quarterly commitment fee based on a percentage of the unused portion of each lender’s commitment under the Credit Facility and quarterly letter of credit fees based on a percentage of the maximum amount available to be drawn under each outstanding letter of credit. The commitment fee and letter of credit fee range from 0.25% to 0.50% and 2.25% to 3.25%, respectively, in each case, based on our consolidated leverage ratio.
 
The Credit Facility also requires us (subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) to prepay the outstanding loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the net cash proceeds received from certain asset dispositions, debt issuances, insurance and casualty awards and other extraordinary receipts.

Our obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by all of our present and future domestic subsidiaries, excluding certain domestic subsidiaries, such as, our insurance captive. Our obligations under, and each guarantor’s obligations under its guaranty of, the Credit Facility are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our respective assets, other than our equity investment in Matrix, including a pledge of 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of our domestic subsidiaries, excluding our insurance captive.
 
The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The negative covenants include restrictions on our ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make investments, give guarantees, pay dividends, repurchase shares, sell assets, and merge and consolidate. We are subject to financial covenants, including consolidated net leverage and consolidated interest coverage covenants. The Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio may not be greater than 3.00:1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter and the Company’s consolidated interest coverage ratio may not be less than 3.00:1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter. We were in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2019.

Preferred Stock. Following (i) the completion of a rights offering in February 2015, under which certain holders of our Common Stock exercised subscription rights to purchase Preferred Stock, and (ii) the purchase of Preferred Stock by Coliseum Capital Partners, L.P., Coliseum Capital Partners II, L.P., Blackwell Partners, LLC - Series A and Coliseum Capital Co-Invest, L.P. (collectively, the “Coliseum Stockholders”), pursuant to the Standby Purchase Agreement between the Coliseum Stockholders and the Company, the Company issued 805,000 shares of Preferred Stock, of which 799,969 shares are outstanding as of June 30, 2019. For further information regarding these transactions, see Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and capital resources – Obligations and commitments – Rights Offering” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. We may pay a noncumulative cash dividend on each share of Preferred Stock, when, as and if declared by a committee of our Board of Directors (“Board”), at the rate of 5.5% per annum on the liquidation preference then in effect. On or before the third business day immediately preceding each fiscal quarter, we determine our intention whether or not to pay a cash dividend with respect to that ensuing quarter and give notice of our intention to each holder of Preferred Stock as soon as practicable thereafter.

In the event we do not declare and pay a cash dividend, the liquidation preference will be increased to an amount equal to the liquidation preference in effect at the start of the applicable dividend period, plus an amount equal to such then applicable liquidation preference multiplied by 8.5% per annum, computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed from the start of the applicable dividend period to the applicable date of determination.

Cash dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year, and, if declared, will begin to accrue on the first day of the applicable dividend period. Paid-in-kind (“PIK”) dividends, if applicable, will accrue and be cumulative on the same schedule as set forth above for cash dividends and will also be compounded at the applicable annual rate on each applicable subsequent dividend date. PIK dividends are paid upon the occurrence of a liquidation event, conversion or redemption in accordance with the terms of the Preferred Stock. Cash dividends were declared for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 totaled $2.2 million in each period.

Reinsurance and Self-Funded Insurance Programs

Reinsurance

We historically reinsured a substantial portion of our automobile, general and professional liability and workers’ compensation costs under reinsurance programs through our wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary, Social Services Providers Captive Insurance Company, or SPCIC. As of May 16, 2017, SPCIC did not renew the expiring reinsurance policies. SPCIC will continue to resolve claims under the historical policy years.

At June 30, 2019, the cumulative reserve for expected losses since inception of these historical automobile, general and professional liability and workers’ compensation reinsurance programs was $0.2 million, $0.4 million and $1.8 million, respectively. Based on an independent actuarial report, our expected losses related to workers’ compensation, automobile and general and professional liability in excess of our liability under our associated historical reinsurance programs at June 30, 2019 was $3.0 million. We recorded a corresponding receivable from third-party insurers and liability at June 30, 2019 for these expected losses, which would be paid by third-party insurers to the extent losses are incurred.

Further, we had restricted cash of $3.7 million and $4.4 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, which was restricted to secure the reinsured claims losses under the historical automobile, general and professional liability and workers’ compensation reinsurance programs.

Health Insurance

We offer our employees an option to participate in a self-funded health insurance program. The liability for the self-funded health plan of $1.9 million and $2.2 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, was recorded in “Reinsurance and related liability reserves” in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There have been no material changes to the Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements discussion previously disclosed in our audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 other than the adoption of ASC 842, effective January 1, 2019, whereby the Company recorded $23,165 and$24,491 of additional leased assets and liabilities, respectively, on its condensed consolidated balance sheet. The adoption did not have a material impact on the statement of operations. See Note 9, Leases, for further information.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain statements that may be deemed “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including statements related to the Company’s strategies or expectations about revenues, liabilities, results of operations, cash flows, ability to fund operations, profitability, ability to meet financial covenants, contracts or market opportunities. The Company may also make forward-looking statements in other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), in materials delivered to stockholders and in press releases. In addition, the Company’s representatives may from time to time make oral forward-looking statements. In certain cases, you may identify forward looking-statements by words such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “could”, “expect”, “plan”, “project”, “intend”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “seek”, “estimate”, “predict”, “potential”, “target”, “forecast”, “likely”, the negative of such terms or comparable terminology. In addition, statements that are not historical statements of fact should also be considered forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about its business and industry, and involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual events to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risks disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and our other filings with the SEC.
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement was made. The Company is under no obligation to (and expressly disclaims any such obligation to) update any of the information in any forward-looking statement if such forward-looking statement later turns out to be inaccurate, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We have exposure to interest rate risk mainly related to our Credit Facility, which has variable interest rates that may increase. We did not have any amounts outstanding on our Credit Facility at June 30, 2019.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management (including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer), evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act as of June 30, 2019. Based upon this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive and financial officers have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that (i) information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting
The principal executive and financial officers also conducted an evaluation of whether any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 that have materially affected or which are reasonably likely to materially affect such control. Except as set forth below, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financing reporting.
During the first quarter of 2019, the Company implemented new internal controls and processes related to its adoption of ASC 842.

(c) Limitations on the effectiveness of controls

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in

37



conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. The Company conducts periodic evaluations of its internal controls to enhance, where necessary, its procedures and controls.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.    Legal Proceedings.

From time-to-time, we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We cannot predict with certainty the potential for or outcome of any future litigation. Regardless of the outcome of any particular litigation and the merits of any particular claim, litigation can have a material adverse impact on our company due to, among other reasons, any injunctive relief granted which could inhibit our ability to operate our business, amounts paid as damages or in settlement of any such matter, diversion of management resources and defense costs.  

On January 21, 2019, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio unsealed a qui tam complaint, filed in December 2015, against Mobile Care Group, Inc., Mobile Care Group of Ohio, LLC, Mobile Care EMS & Transport, Inc. and LogistiCare Solutions, LLC (“LogistiCare”) by Brandee White, Laura Cunningham, and Jeffery Wisier (the “Relators”) alleging violations of the federal False Claims Act by presenting claims for payment to government healthcare programs knowing that the prerequisites for such claims to be paid had not been met. The Relators seek to recover damages, fees and costs under the federal False Claims Act including treble damages, civil penalties and attorneys’ fees. In addition, the Relators seek reinstatement to their jobs with the Mobile Care entities. None of the Relators was employed by LogistiCare. Prior to January 21, 2019, LogistiCare had no knowledge of the complaint. The federal government has declined to intervene against LogistiCare. The Company intends to defend the litigation vigorously and believes that the case will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

On March 1, 2019, Meher Patel filed suit against the Company in the Superior Court of the State of California, Tuolumne County, on behalf of herself and as a class action on behalf of others similarly situated, asserting violations under the California Labor Code relating to the alleged failure by LogistiCare to comply with certain applicable state wage and related employment requirements, as well as claims of breach of contract and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.  The plaintiff seeks to recover an unspecified amount of damages and penalties, as well as certification as a class action.  No amounts have been accrued for any potential losses under this matter, as management cannot reasonably predict the outcome of the litigation or any potential losses.  The Company intends to defend the litigation vigorously and believes that the case will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations. 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

______________
(1)
Includes shares repurchased from employees in connection with the settlement of income tax and related benefit withholding obligations arising from vesting of restricted stock grants.
(2)
On October 26, 2016, our Board authorized a repurchase program, under which the Company may repurchase up to $100.0 million in aggregate value of the Company’s Common Stock during the twelve-month period following October 26, 2016. On November 2, 2017, our Board approved the extension of the Company’s prior stock repurchase program, authorizing the Company to engage in a repurchase program to repurchase up to $69.6 million (the amount remaining from the $100.0 million repurchase amount authorized in 2016) in aggregate value of our Common Stock through December 31, 2018. Subsequently, on March 29, 2018, our Board authorized an increase in the amount available for stock repurchases under the Company’s existing stock repurchase program by $77.8 million, and extended the existing stock repurchase program through June 30, 2019.
A total of 1.8 million shares have been repurchased since the Board originally approved the repurchase program on October 26, 2016. The share repurchases were made through a combination of open market repurchases (including Rule 10b5-1 plans), privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase transactions and other derivative transactions. As of June 30, 2019, thisrepurchase program expired.
Subsequent to June 30, 2019, the Board authorized a new stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $100.0 million in aggregate value of the Company’s Common Stock, subject to the consent of the holders of a majority of the Company’s Series A convertible preferred stock, through December 31, 2019, unless terminated earlier.
