BioScrip, Inc. (NASDAQ:BIOS) ("BioScrip" or the "Company"), the largest independent national provider of infusion and home care management solutions, today announced its third quarter 2017 financial results. For the third quarter, the Company reported revenue from continuing operations of $198.7 million, net loss from continuing operations of $12.4 million, and adjusted EBITDA of $13.0 million.   

“BioScrip delivered adjusted EBITDA of $13.0 million during the third quarter of 2017, while completing the UnitedHealthcare contract transition and enduring disruption from both Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma, which impacted 12 of our branches,” said Daniel E. Greenleaf, President and Chief Executive Officer.  “I am extremely proud of the significant progress the team has made on the turnaround plan since I joined the company just over a year ago. The turnaround plan is on schedule, driven by success in our CORE initiatives which has driven much improved and sustainable profitability and cash flow. With the UnitedHealthcare contract transition complete, we look forward to Core revenue acceleration.”

2017 Guidance

The Company has updated its revenue guidance for the full year 2017 to a range of $805.0 million to $810.0 million, reflecting the disruption from the hurricanes and the UnitedHealthcare contract transition during the third quarter, and the resulting lower patient census to begin the fourth quarter. The Company has also updated its adjusted EBITDA guidance to a range of $42.0 million to $44.0 million for full-year 2017, reflecting the third quarter results and the impact of updated revenue guidance for 2017. The Company expects to incur restructuring expenses in a range of $11.5 million to $12.0 million in 2017.

Forward-Looking Statements – Safe Harbor

This press release includes statements that may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including the statements regarding 2017 guidance, projections of certain measures of the Company's results of operations, projections of future levels of certain charges and expenses, expectations of Home Solutions cost synergies and incremental cost structure improvements and other statements regarding the Company's financial improvement plan and strategy and anticipated effects of the Cures Act and the UnitedHealthcare contract. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as "may," "should," "could," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "outlook," "aim," "intend," "plan," "believe," "predict," "potential," "continue" or comparable terms. Because such statements inherently involve risks and uncertainties, actual future results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statement include but are not limited to risks associated with: the Company’s ability to successfully integrate the Home Solutions business into its existing businesses; the Company’s ability to grow its core Infusion revenues; the Company's ability to continue to execute its financial improvement plan to reduce operating costs and focus its business on its Infusion Services segment; the Company’s ability to evaluate opportunities for improvement and implement solutions as part of its strategic review process; the Company’s ability to comply with the covenants in its debt agreements or obtain amendments to such covenants; the UnitedHealthcare contract termination, including potential accounting charges and impacts on other contract provisions and their associated revenue; the success of the Company’s initiatives to mitigate the impact of the Cures Act on its business; reductions in federal, state and commercial reimbursement for the Company's products and services; increased government regulation related to the health care and insurance industries; as well as the risks described in the Company's periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not undertake any duty to update these forward-looking statements after the date hereof, even though the Company's situation may change in the future. All of the forward-looking statements herein are qualified by these cautionary statements.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting financial information in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company is also reporting Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be used in isolation or as a substitute or alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as a substitute or alternative to cash flow from operating activities or a measure of the Company’s liquidity. In addition, the Company's definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by the Company, represents net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment of goodwill, stock-based compensation expense, and restructuring, integration and other expenses. As part of restructuring, the Company may incur significant charges such as the write down of certain long−lived assets, temporary redundant expenses, retraining expenses, potential cash bonus payments and potential accelerated payments or terminated costs for certain of its contractual obligations. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful supplemental information regarding the performance of BioScrip’s business operations and facilitates comparisons to the Company’s historical operating results. For a full reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP financial measure, please see the attachment to this earnings release.
