Provides 2017 Earnings Guidance
U.S. Physical Therapy, Inc. ("USPH" or the “Company”) (NYSE: USPH), a national operator of outpatient physical therapy clinics, today reported results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2016.
For the year 2016, USPH’s net income attributable to common shareholders prior to interest expense – mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests – change in redemption value, net of tax (“operating results”) was $24.3 million as compared to $22.2 million in 2015. Diluted earnings per share from operating results, a non-GAAP measure, was $1.94 in 2016 as compared to $1.79 in 2015. Operating results was at the upper end of management’s earnings guidance range of $23.7 million to $24.5 million and $1.90 to $1.96 per share.
In the fourth quarter of 2016, USPH’s operating results was $6.1 million as compared to $6.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Diluted earnings per share from operating results, was $0.49 in the fourth quarter of 2016 as compared to $0.48 in the comparable period of 2015. The fourth quarter of 2016, with 63 business days, had one fewer business day than the fourth quarter of 2015.
For the year 2016, USPH’s net income attributable to its shareholders, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), was $20.6 million, or $1.64 per diluted share, as compared to $20.6 million, or $1.66 per diluted share, for the year 2015. For the fourth quarter 2016, net income attributable to shareholders in accordance with GAAP, was $6.0 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, as compared to $4.8 million, or $0.38 per diluted share for the 2015 period. See schedule on page 11 for a reconciliation of net income attributable to USPH shareholders to operating results.
The FASB issued guidance during 2016 relevant to stock compensation accounting provisions. This amends how excess tax benefits should be classified. Under the guidance excess tax benefits, which have previously been accounted for in additional paid-in capital, will be a component of the income tax provision/benefit in the period in which they occur. This revised accounting became effective for all entities in 2017 but early adoption was permitted. As previously disclosed in the Form 10Q for the third quarter of 2016, the Company adopted this accounting treatment in the fourth quarter of 2016. The adoption resulted in an effective tax rate of 28.0% for the fourth quarter of 2016 and 36.6% for the year.

Other Financial Measures
For the year 2016 the Company's Adjusted EBITDA grew by 6.3% to $53.5 million from $50.3 million in 2015. In the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company's Adjusted EBITDA was $12.6 million as compared to $13.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. See schedule on page 11.
Correction of Accounting for Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests
Shortly before the planned issuance of the Company’s 2016 annual financial statements, it was determined that previous accounting for redeemable non-controlling interests was incorrect. This error resulted in the reporting of a material weakness in financial controls as relates to this issue and required the restatement of prior period financials.
Non-controlling interests which have a redemption feature are now classified as mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests. The mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests in the consolidated financial statements consist of those owners who have certain redemption rights, whether currently exercisable or not, and which currently, or in the future, require that the Company purchase the non-controlling interest of those owners at a predetermined formula based on a multiple of trailing twelve months earnings performance as defined in the respective limited partnership agreements. The redemption rights are triggered at such time as both of the following events have occurred: 1) termination of the owner’s employment, regardless of the reason for such termination, and 2) the passage of specified number of years after the closing of the transaction, typically three to five years, as defined in the limited partnership agreement.
On the date the Company acquires a controlling interest in a partnership and the limited partnership agreement contains mandatory redemption rights, the fair value of the non-controlling interest is recorded in the long-term liabilities section of the consolidated balance sheet under the caption – Mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests. Then, in each reporting period thereafter until purchased by the Company, the redeemable non-controlling interest is adjusted to its then current redemption value, based on the predetermined formula defined in the respective partnership agreement. The Company reflects any adjustment in the redemption value and any earnings attributable to the mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest in its consolidated statements of net income by recording the adjustments and earnings to other income and expense in the captions - Interest expense – mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests – change in redemption value and Interest expense – mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests – earnings allocable.
Accordingly, the Company, in its Annual Report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, corrected its consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015. In addition, any prior year information, within footnotes, including quarterly data, affected by this correction was updated within the annual report.
Management’s Comments
Chris Reading, Chief Executive Officer, said, “The year 2016 ended with another solid quarter for same store visit growth and with excellent development activity. For the year we opened, primarily within our top 20 partnerships, the largest number of new de novo locations in the past 10 years, plus added a number of additional facilities through acquisition. Our strong development progress has continued thus far in 2017. We are pleased to be able to get back out to meet with our shareholders and to provide an updated, and current, outlook for our Company.”
Management 2017 Earnings Guidance
Management currently expects the Company’s operating results for the year 2017 to be in the range of $26.0 million to $27.3 million and $2.07 to $2.16 in diluted earnings per share as compared to $24.3 million and $1.94, respectively, for the year 2016. This earnings range is based on an assumed annual corporate tax rate of approximately 37%. Please note that management’s guidance range represents projected earnings from existing operations excluding potential future acquisitions. The annual guidance figures will not be updated unless there is a material development that causes management to believe that earnings will be significantly outside the given range.

OPERATING RESULTS AND ADJUSTED EBITDA (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
The following tables reconcile net income attributable to USPH shareholders calculated in accordance with GAAP to operating results and Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes providing operating results and Adjusted EBITDA to investors is useful information for comparing the Company's period-to-period results. Operating results is defined as USPH’s net income attributable to common shareholders prior to interest expense – mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests – change in redemption value, net of tax. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and equity compensation expense. Operating results and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute for, net income attributable to USPH shareholders presented in the consolidated financial statements.
