Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 Compared to the Corresponding Periods
of the Prior Year
Accounts Payable Services
Revenues. Domestic and International Accounts Payable Services revenues for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were as follows (in
millions):
Three Months Six Months
Ended Ended
June 30, June 30,
2009 2008 2009 2008
Domestic Accounts Payable Services revenues $ 26.4 $ 28.3 $ 49.7 $ 56.5
International Accounts Payable Services revenues 19.0 21.3 35.0 41.4
Total Accounts Payable Services revenues $ 45.4 $ 49.6 $ 84.7 $ 97.9
|
Total Accounts Payable Services revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2009
decreased by $4.2 million, or 8.4%, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2008.
Total Accounts Payable Services revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2009
decreased by $13.2 million, or 13.5%, compared to the prior period.
Domestic Accounts Payable Service revenues decreased by $1.9 million, or
6.5%, in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2008. For
the six months ended June 30, 2009, revenues decreased by $6.8 million, or
12.1%, compared to the prior year period. The improved year over year revenue
performance (lesser rate of decline) in the second quarter of 2009 as compared
to the first quarter of 2009 is partially attributable to focused efforts to
reduce the backlog of claims which built up during the previous three to six
months. However, the vast majority of the Company's recovery audit clients are
in the retail industry segment. Thus, the Company's operations are subject to
the economic pressures the retail industry faces. Economic conditions which have
adversely impacted the U.S. retail industry have negatively impacted the
Company's revenues, particularly during the first quarter of 2009. Many of the
Company's clients' purchases have declined making it more difficult to offset
recovery claims. In addition, the liquidity of the Company's clients' vendor
partners can significantly impact claim production, the claim approval process
and the ability of clients to offset or otherwise make recoveries from their
vendors. Management is also aware of speculation regarding an increase in
retailer bankruptcies, which, if correct, could adversely impact future
revenues. In addition, the first six months of 2008 included a small amount of
revenue earned from auditing Medicare payments in California under the CMS
demonstration program and there were no such revenues in the first six months of
2009.
Revenues in the International Accounts Payable Services segment for the three
months ended June 30, 2009 decreased by $2.3 million, or 10.9%, compared to the
same period in 2008. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, revenues decreased
by $6.4 million, or 15.4%, compared to the prior year period. The reported
international revenues were adversely impacted by strengthening of the U.S.
dollar relative to foreign currencies throughout the world, particularly during
the latter half of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009. On a constant dollar
basis adjusted for changes in foreign exchange ("FX") rates, International
Accounts Payable Services revenues increased by 7.6% during the second quarter
of 2009 as compared to the second quarter of 2008 and increased by 5.5% during
the first six months of 2009 compared to the prior year period. These increases
are principally attributable to revenue gains in Canada and Latin America and
were derived from both incremental revenues from existing clients and, to a
lesser extent, revenues from new clients.
Management believes there is opportunity to increase revenues in its core
accounts payable services segments as a result of both market share growth and
the growth of the addressable market for such services. Management also believes
that the Company has growth opportunities related to the provision of adjacent
services in the procure-to-pay value chain and to the CFO suite of its core
client base, and from capitalizing on the Company's existing data mining and
related competencies. Management believes that the pursuit of such opportunities
will require modest investments and that without such investments, a reversal of
the Company's declining revenue trend is not likely. Management intends to
execute newly developed strategic initiatives to pursue these opportunities. No
assurances can be provided, however, as to when any revenues from these
opportunities will be recognized or the magnitude of any such revenues.
The Company also expects future revenues from its participation as a
subcontractor in three of the Medicare RAC program's four geographic regions;
however, the magnitude and timing of such revenues is not predictable.
Management currently does not expect to receive any meaningful revenues from
Medicare auditing until the second half of 2010.
Cost of Revenues ("COR"). COR consists principally of commissions and other
forms of variable compensation paid or payable to the Company's auditors based
primarily upon the level of overpayment recoveries and/or profit margins derived
therefrom, fixed auditor salaries, compensation paid to various types of hourly
support staff, and salaried operational and client service managers. Also
included in COR are other direct and indirect costs incurred by these personnel,
including office rent, travel and entertainment, telephone, utilities,
maintenance and supplies, clerical assistance, and depreciation. A significant
portion of the components comprising COR is variable and will increase or
decrease with increases and decreases in revenues.
Accounts Payable Services COR for the three and six months ended June 30,
2009 and 2008 were as follows (in millions):
Three Months Six Months
Ended Ended
June 30, June 30,
2009 2008 2009 2008
Domestic Accounts Payable Services COR $ 14.5 $ 16.8 $ 29.1 $ 32.5
International Accounts Payable Services COR 13.5 16.2 25.1 30.8
Total Accounts Payable Services COR $ 28.0 $ 33.0 $ 54.2 $ 63.3
|
COR as a percentage of revenue for Domestic Accounts Payable Services was 55.0% and 59.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. This equates to gross margin percentages of 45.0% and 40.6%, respectively, for the Domestic Accounts Payable Services segment for the quarters ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, COR as a percentage of revenue for Domestic Accounts Payable Services was 58.6% and 57.5%, respectively. This equates to gross margin percentages of 41.4% and 42.5%, respectively, for the Domestic Accounts Payable Services segment for the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.
The second quarter 2009 gross margin improvements are primarily attributable
to a reduction in healthcare audit spending, reductions in indirect costs
(principally reduced headcount), increased margins on management consulting
projects, and severance charges included in the second quarter of 2008.
COR as a percentage of revenue for International Accounts Payable Services
was 71.1% and 76.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. This equates to gross margin percentages of 28.9% and 23.9%,
respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 COR as a
percentage of revenue for International Accounts Payable Services was 71.7% and
74.4%, respectively. This equates to gross margin percentages of 28.3% and
25.6%, respectively. COR as a percentage of revenue has historically, and
continues to be, higher in the International Accounts Payable Services segment
compared to the Domestic segment because of differences in the service delivery
models which, in turn, are principally attributable to scale. The margin
increases in the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 compared
to the same periods in 2008 are largely due to a higher percentage of
International Accounts Payable Services revenues coming from geographic
territories that have historically enjoyed higher margins.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses ("SG&A"). SG&A expenses of the
Accounts Payable Services segments include the expenses of sales and marketing
activities, information technology services and allocated corporate data center
costs, human resources, legal, accounting, administration, foreign currency
transaction gains and losses, gains and losses on assets disposals, depreciation
of property and equipment and amortization of intangibles related to the
Accounts Payable Services segments.
Accounts Payable Services SG&A for the three and six months ended June 30,
2009 and 2008 were as follows (in millions):
Three Months Six Months
Ended Ended
June 30, June 30,
2009 2008 2009 2008
Domestic Accounts Payable Services SG&A $ 4.5 $ 4.0 $ 7.9 $ 8.3
International Accounts Payable Services SG&A 0.9 2.2 3.7 4.1
Total Accounts Payable Services SG&A $ 5.4 $ 6.2 $ 11.6 $ 12.4
|
Domestic Accounts Payable Services SG&A expenses for the second quarter of
2009 increased by $0.5 million, or 12.5%, and decreased for the six months ended
June 30, 2009 by $0.4 million, or 4.8%, from the same periods in 2008. The
second quarter 2009 increase is primarily attributable to costs associated with
the development and early stage execution of new strategic initiatives discussed
above.
International Accounts Payable Services SG&A includes foreign currency
transaction gains and losses, including the gains and losses related to
intercompany balances. Gains and losses result from the re-translation of the
foreign subsidiaries payable to the U.S. parent from their local currency to
their U.S. dollar equivalent and substantial changes from period to period in FX
rates can significantly impact the amount of such gains and losses. During the
three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recognized $1.7 million of FX
gains related to intercompany balances as compared to $0.1 million of FX losses
for the same period in 2008. For the first six months of 2009, the Company
recognized $1.1 million of FX gains related to intercompany balances as compared
to $0.5 million of FX gains for the same period in 2008.
International Accounts Payable Services SG&A excluding the FX gains and
losses related to intercompany balances increased by $0.4 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. Most of such
increase is attributable to professional fees and other costs associated with
the acquisition of the business and assets of First Audit Partners LLP ("FAP"),
which was completed in July 2009 (see Note J - Subsequent Events included in
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this
Form 10-Q). For the six months ended June 30, 2009, International Accounts
Payable Services SG&A excluding the FX gains and losses related to intercompany
balances increased by $0.2 million compared to the same period in 2008.
Corporate Support
Corporate Support SG&A represents the unallocated portion of SG&A expenses
which are not specifically attributable to Domestic or International Accounts
Payable Services and include the expenses of information
technology services, the corporate data center, human resources, legal,
accounting, treasury, administration, hedging activities and stock-based
compensation charges.
Corporate Support SG&A totaled the following for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 (in millions):
Three Months Six Months

Corporate Support SG&A increased by $0.8 million in the second quarter of
2009 and decreased by $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, when
compared to the same periods of 2008. The second quarter of 2009 includes
$1.0 million of stock-based compensation expense as compared to $1.6 million of
stock-based compensation expense included in the second quarter of 2008. The
first six months of 2009 includes $1.0 million of stock-based compensation
expense as compared to $4.6 million of stock-based compensation expense included
in the same period in 2008. Excluding the stock-based compensation charges for
both periods, Corporate Support SG&A increased by $1.4 million in the second
quarter of 2009 and increased by $1.6 million in the six months ended June 30,
2009 as compared to the same periods in 2008. Such increases are attributable to
a $0.7 million additional accrual for the settlement of the Fleming Post
Confirmation Trust ("PCT") litigation (see Part II, Item 1 - Legal Proceedings),
professional fees related to the litigation, severance charges, and increased
compensation associated with hiring a new chief executive officer.
Other Items
Interest Expense. Net interest expense was $0.7 million and $0.8 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Net interest
expense was $1.4 million and $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009
and 2008, respectively. The decrease in interest expense resulted from the
$26.3 million of debt repayments made during 2008. Interest expense in the six
months ended June 30, 2009 primarily related to the term loan under the
Company's senior credit facility, which had an outstanding balance of
$16.6 million as of June 30, 2009.
Income Tax Expense. The Company's effective income tax expense rates as
indicated in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited) do not reflect amounts that would normally be expected because of
the Company's valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. Reported
income tax expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and
2008 primarily results from taxes on income of foreign subsidiaries.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2009, the Company had $28.5 million in cash and cash
equivalents and no borrowings under the revolver portion of its credit facility.
The revolver had approximately $16.4 million of calculated availability for
borrowings, however, management does not currently anticipate any borrowings
under the revolver. As of June 30, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all
of its debt covenants under the credit facility.
Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was
$5.5 million and $2.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and
2008, respectively. During both six-month periods, significant decreases in
current assets, particularly receivables, and current liability balances,
particularly accounts payable, accrued payroll and other accrued expenses, were
made. Such changes are itemized in the Company's Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Investing Activities and Depreciation Expense. Depreciation and amortization
expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 amounted to $2.7 million
in each six-month period. Net cash used in investing activities was $1.4 million
and $1.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. Cash used in investing activities for both periods was solely
attributable to capital expenditures. The increase in capital
expenditure spending in the first six months of 2009 compared to the first six
months of 2008 was primarily related to investments to upgrade the Company's
information technology infrastructure.
Capital expenditures are discretionary and management currently expects
future capital expenditures to increase over the next several quarters as the
Company continues to enhance its healthcare audit systems in preparation for its
performance of the CMS RAC subcontracts and other healthcare audits and in
preparation of the Company's strategic initiatives discussed above. Changes in
operating plans and results could change these expectations.
Financing Activities and Interest Expense. Net cash used in financing
activities was $2.9 million and $23.7 million for the six months ended June 30,
2009 and 2008, respectively. During the first six months of 2009, the Company
made mandatory payments totaling $2.5 million on its term loan, reduced its
capital lease obligations by $0.2 million and repurchased 78,754 shares of its
outstanding common stock for approximately $0.2 million. During the first six
months of 2008, the Company reduced the balance of its term loan by
$23.4 million. This amount included $8.4 million of mandatory payments as well
as a voluntary prepayment of $15.0 million. The Company also reduced its capital
lease obligations by $0.2 million during the first six months of 2008.
Management believes that the Company will have sufficient borrowing capacity
and cash generated from operations to fund its capital and operational needs for
at least the next twelve months.
Secured Credit Facility
In September 2007, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit
facility with Ableco LLC ("Ableco") consisting of a $20 million revolving credit
facility and a $45 million term loan which was funded in October 2007. The
principal portion of the $45 million term loan with Ableco must be repaid in
quarterly installments of $1.25 million each commencing in April 2008. The loan
agreement also requires an annual additional payment contingently payable based
on an excess cash flow calculation as defined in the agreement. During the first
six months of 2008, the Company reduced the balance on its term loan by
$23.4 million. This reduction included $8.4 million of mandatory payments as
well as a voluntary payment of $15.0 million. During the first quarter of 2008,
the Company entered into an amendment of its credit facility, permitting the
$15.0 million pre-payment without penalty and increasing the initial borrowing
capacity under the revolver portion of its facility by $10 million.
The Company reduced the balance on its term loan by $2.5 million during the
first six months of 2009. In March 2009, the Company entered into the second
amendment of its credit facility, lowering certain of the debt covenant
thresholds through March 10, 2010 and revising the borrowing base calculation,
which had the effect of reducing the borrowing capacity under the revolver
portion of the facility by $6.5 million as of June 30, 2009. The borrowing
capacity is reduced over the term of the credit facility and availability is
based on eligible accounts receivable and other factors. Availability under the
revolver at June 30, 2009 was $16.4 million.
The remaining balance of the term loan is due on September 17, 2011. Interest
on the term loan balance is payable monthly and accrues at the Company's option
at either prime plus 2.0% or at LIBOR plus 4.75%, but under either option may
not be less than 9.75%. Interest on outstanding balances under the revolving
credit facility, if any, will accrue at the Company's option at either prime
plus 0.25% or at LIBOR plus 2.25%. The Company must also pay a commitment fee of
0.5% per annum, payable monthly, on the unused portion of the revolving credit
facility. As of June 30, 2009, there were no outstanding borrowings under the
revolving credit facility. The weighted-average interest rates on term loan
balances outstanding under the credit facility during the second quarter of 2009
and 2008, including fees, were 10.92% and 11.41%, respectively. The
weighted-average interest rates on term loan balances outstanding under the
credit facility during the first six months of 2009 and 2008, including fees,
were 10.89% and 10.73%, respectively.
Due to the $15.0 million voluntary payment made in the first quarter of 2008,
the annual additional contingent payment based on 2008 excess cash flow due in
April 2009 was not required.
The credit facility is guaranteed by each of the Company's direct and
indirect domestic wholly owned subsidiaries and certain of its foreign
subsidiaries and is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets
(including the stock of the Company's domestic subsidiaries and two-thirds of
the stock of certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries). The credit facility
will mature on September 17, 2011.
Stock Repurchase Program
In February 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a stock
repurchase program. Under the terms of the program, the Company may repurchase
up to $10 million of its common stock from time to time through March 30, 2009.
In March 2009, the Company's Board of Directors extended the stock repurchase
program through March 31, 2010. The second amendment to the Company's secured
credit facility permits the Company to repurchase up to $5.0 million of the
Company's common stock during the period from April 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010.
For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company repurchased 78,754 shares at
an average price of $3.13 for a total purchase price of approximately
$0.2 million, all of which were made in the first quarter. This equates to
approximately 0.4% of the then outstanding shares.
