Results of Operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 compared to the
quarter ended June 30, 2008.
Revenue. Revenue decreased $34,000 or 0.2%, to $18,781,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2009, from $18,815,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008.
Fitness Management
Our Fitness Management segment declined 5.1%, or $542,000, which included a
decline in staffing services of $565,000 or 5.7%, and a slight increase in
program services of $23,000, or 3.5%. This overall revenue decline is primarily
due to contract terminations we experienced in 2008 and 2009 related to customer
reaction to the
recessionary business climate. The increase in program services, as compared to
last year, was primarily due to increased participation in walking programs and
eHealth platform participation.
Health Management
Our Health Management segment contributed total revenue growth of 6.1%, or
$507,000, which included overall growth from staffing services of $81,000, or
1.8%, and growth from program services of $426,000, or 11.3%. Overall, the
growth in staffing revenue is attributable to new customers and the expansion of
sales to existing customers. The increase in program services, compared to last
year, was primarily driven by an increase in health coaching and advising
services.
2009 Customer Commitments and Cancellations
For the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company received a total of three
health management commitments, three expansions of health management services to
existing clients, and four fitness management commitments. This commitment
activity for 2009 may realize annualized revenue of $4.4 million, to be
partially offset by a potential annualized revenue loss of $1.3 million from
fitness and health management contract cancellations. These cancellations
reflect the continuing weakness in the economy and the challenges companies
expect to face during 2009.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $76,000 or 1.4%, to $5,612,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2009, from $5,536,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2008. Total gross margin increased to 29.9%, from 29.4% for the same
period last year, which is primarily due to Health Management revenue
representing a larger percentage of our total revenue and improved margins for
Health Management program services.
Fitness Management
Fitness Management gross profit decreased $183,000, which includes a decrease of
$235,000 from staffing services, partially offset by an increase of $52,000 from
program services. Gross margin for our Fitness Management segment decreased in
the three months ended June 30, 2009 to 24.2%, from 24.7% for the same period of
2008. This result is primarily due to a gross margin decrease in staffing
services, which decreased from 23.9% for the same period last year, to 22.8%,
partially offset by a gross margin increase in program services, which increased
from 36.3% for the same period last year, to 42.8%. The margin decrease for
staffing services is primarily due to higher costs for employee medical benefits
and workers compensation costs. The margin increase for program services is
primarily due to the mix of programs delivered during the quarter as compared to
the same period last year and labor efficiencies for personal training and
massage services.
Health Management
Health Management gross profit increased $259,000, which includes an increase of
$474,000 from program services, reduced by a decrease of $215,000 from staffing
services. Gross margin for our Health Management segment increased in the three
months ended June 30, 2009 to 36.3%, from 35.4% for the same period of 2008.
This result is primarily due to a gross margin increase in program services,
which increased from 45.6% for the same period last year, to 52.2%, reduced by a
gross margin decrease in staffing services, which decreased from 27.1% for the
same period last year, to 22.0%. The margin decrease for staffing services is
primarily due to higher costs for employee paid time off, medical benefits,
workers compensation costs and increased wage costs. The margin increase in
program services is primarily due to increased margins on health coaching and
advising services and biometric screening services.
Operating Expenses and Operating Income. Operating expenses increased $78,000,
or 1.6%, to $4,979,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, from $4,901,000
for the three months ended June 30, 2008.
The increase is primarily due to higher costs for management incentive programs
and employee benefits, reduced by operating cost savings. For the three months
ended June 30, 2009, operating expenses, as a percent of revenue, were 26.5%,
compared to 26.0% for the same period last year.
Operating margin remained flat to last year for the second quarter 2009, at
3.4%. This result reflects the sales growth in our Health Management segment and
cost efficiencies related to Health Management segment program services, offset
by the decrease in Fitness Management segment sales, higher staffing costs, and
a higher ratio of operating expenses to revenue as discussed above
Other Income and Expense. Interest expense was inconsequential during the
quarters ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.
Income Taxes. Income tax expense increased $10,000 to $278,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2009, from $268,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2008. The increase is primarily due to a true-up adjustment for the quarter
ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period of 2008.
Our effective tax rate was 43.8% of earnings before income taxes for the second
quarter of 2009, compared to 42.5% for the same period last year. Compared to
our normal effective tax rate of 38.5%, our current effective tax rate is higher
due primarily to the non-deductibility of compensation expense for incentive
stock options.
Net Earnings. Net earnings decreased $6,000 to $357,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2009, from $363,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008.
This decrease is primarily due to the decrease in Fitness Management segment
sales, higher staffing costs, and a higher ratio of operating expenses to
revenue as discussed above, mostly offset by sales growth in our Health
Management segment and cost efficiencies related to Health Management segment
program services.
Results of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the six
months ended June 30, 2008.
Revenue. Revenue increased $470,000, or 1.3%, to $37,988,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2009, from $37,518,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
Fitness Management
Our Fitness Management segment declined $1,102,000, which included a decline in
staffing services of $1,069,000 and a decline in program services of $33,000.
This revenue decline is primarily due to the termination of large automotive
contracts in 2008 and 2009.
If the economic recession continues for the remainder of 2009, it is possible we
could continue to experience a higher level of staffing services revenue loss in
our Fitness Management segment. Our most at risk contracts include those in the
automotive industry, although we believe the current recession may have an
adverse impact on many industries, which could affect our other customers and
lead to further revenue loss from contract termination or service reduction.
With respect to the automotive industry, we have lost approximately $1.7 million
in revenue over the past twelve to eighteen months. During 2009, we expect to
realize approximately $2.5 million in revenue from our "at risk" automotive
contracts, and if their financial difficulties continue, we may see similar
revenue losses during 2009.
It is also possible we could experience further declines in Fitness Management
program service revenue during 2009. Program service revenue is derived from
fees we charge to members of our managed fitness centers for services such as
personal training, massage therapy, weight loss programs and special fitness
classes. The revenue decline we experienced in the first half of 2009 is
attributed to the effects of the recessionary economy, employment reductions and
our members decreasing their spending on discretionary services. We believe this
trend will continue during 2009.
Because we are the largest provider of fitness management services in the United
States, we believe the number of opportunities to bid on new business during
2009 should be consistent with past years. In order to increase our chances of
winning new business in 2009 and reverse the historical decline of our fitness
management revenue, we also believe that we will need to lower our pricing to be
competitive in this market, which may result in lower profitability.
Health Management
Our Health Management segment contributed total growth of $1,572,000, which
includes growth of $327,000 from staffing services and growth of $1,245,000 from
program services. Overall, the growth in staffing revenue is attributable to new
customers and the expansion of sales to existing customers. The increase in
program services revenue is primarily due to an increase in our core health
programs, including biometric screening services, health coaching and advising
services and eHealth platform revenue.
For 2009, we anticipate that the economic recession may have a negative impact
on revenue from existing customers. It is possible that many of our health
management customers may reduce the scope of their programs during 2009 as a
measure to conserve cash and improve profitability. Our health management
revenue may also be negatively affected by lower participation rates at some
customers due to employee layoffs. At the same time, the recessionary economy
has also lengthened the sales cycle for new opportunities. The combination of
these events, if they materialize, may challenge our ability to increase 2009
revenue on a basis consistent with past growth.
2009 Customer Commitments and Cancellations
For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company received a total of seven
health management commitments, three expansions of health management services to
existing clients, and five fitness management commitments. This commitment
activity for 2009 may realize annualized revenue of $6.0 million, to be
partially offset by a potential annualized revenue loss of $1.8 million from
fitness and health management contract cancellations. These cancellations
reflect the continuing weakness in the economy and the challenges companies
expect to face during 2009.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $1,025,000, or 9.4%, to $11,904,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 2009, from $10,879,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2008. Total gross margin in the six months ended June 30, 2009
increased to 31.3% from 29.0% for the same period last year, which is primarily
due to Health Management revenue representing a larger percentage of our total
revenue and improved margins for Health Management program services.
Fitness Management
Fitness Management gross profit decreased $173,000, which includes a decrease of
$211,000 from staffing services, partially offset by an increase of $38,000 from
program services. Gross margin for our Fitness Management segment increased in
the six months ended June 30, 2009 to 24.2%, from 23.7% for the same period of
2008. This result is primarily due to a gross margin increase in program
services, which increased from 37.2% for the same period last year, to 41.3%,
and a slight gross margin increase in staffing services, which increased from
22.9% for the same period last year, to 23.0%. The margin increase for program
services is primarily due to the mix of programs delivered during the quarter as
compared to the same period last year and labor efficiencies for personal
training and massage services.
Health Management
Our Health Management segment contributed gross profit growth of $1,197,000,
which includes growth of $1,211,000 from program services and a decline of
$14,000 from staffing services. Gross margin for our Health Management segment
increased in the six months ended June 30, 2009 to 39.1%, from 35.6% for the
same period of 2008. This result is primarily due to a gross margin increase in
program services, which increased from 48.0% for the same period last year, to
54.7%, reduced by a gross margin decrease in staffing services, which decreased
from 24.6% for the same period last year, to 23.5%. The margin decrease for
staffing services is primarily due to higher costs for employee paid time off,
medical benefits and workers compensation costs. The gross increase in program
services is primarily due to increased margins on health coaching and advising
services and biometric screening services.
The anticipated negative impact of the economic recession discussed above may
challenge our ability to improve gross profit and margins in 2009 on a basis
consistent with past growth.
Operating Expenses and Operating Income. Operating expenses decreased $109,000,
or 1.1%, to $9,571,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, from $9,680,000
for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
The decrease is primarily due to general operating cost savings. For the three
months ended June 30, 2009, operating expenses, as a percent of revenue, were
25.2%, compared to 25.8% for the same period last year.
Operating margin increased to 3.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, from
1.8% for the same period 2008. This result reflects the sales growth in our
Health Management segment, cost efficiencies related to Health Management
segment program services and operating expense savings, reduced by the decrease
in Fitness Management segment sales. Since 2009 revenue growth may be challenged
by recessionary pressures, our strategies to maximize our operating
profitability will focus on closely managing operating expenses and improving
business processes.
Other Income and Expense. Interest expense was inconsequential for the six
months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.
Income Taxes. Income tax expense increased $467,000 to $975,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2009, from $508,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2008. The increase is due to a higher operating income for the first six months
of 2009 as compared to the same period last year.
Our effective tax rate was 41.8% of earnings before income taxes for the second
quarter of 2009, compared to 42.5% for the same period last year. Compared to
our normal effective tax rate of 38.5%, our current effective tax rate is higher
due primarily to the non-deductibility of compensation expense for incentive
stock options.
Net Earnings. Net earnings applicable to common shareholders increased $673,000
to $1,360,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, from $687,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2008. This increase is primarily due to sales growth in
our Health Management segment, cost efficiencies related to Health Management
segment program services and operating expense savings, reduced by the decrease
in Fitness Management segment sales.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our working capital increased $1,800,000 to $12,500,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2009, from $10,700,000 at December 31, 2008. This increase is largely
attributable to our improved operating results and cash accumulation strategy
given current economic conditions.
In addition to cash flows generated from operating activities, our other primary
source of liquidity and working capital is provided by a $3,500,000 Credit
Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the "Wells Loan"). Effective
with the renewal of the Wells Loan on March 24, 2009, interest will be computed
using the daily three month LIBOR rate plus a markup of 2.75% (effective rate of
3.345% and 5.0% at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively). The Wells Loan matures
on June 30, 2011, as amended. Working capital advances from the Wells Loan are
based upon a percentage of our eligible accounts receivable, less any amounts
drawn and outstanding. The facility provided maximum borrowing capacity of
$3,250,000 at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively and no debt was
outstanding on those dates. There were no borrowings under the line of credit
during the six months ended June 30, 2009. Although we do not anticipate
borrowing from the Wells Loan in 2009, we have extended the agreement, as
previously discussed, to provide an additional source of funding. All borrowings
are collateralized by substantially all of our assets. At June 30, 2009, we were
in compliance with all of our financial covenants and expect to remain in
compliance with the covenants over the life of the credit agreement.
We believe our short and long-term capital needs will be met with cash flows
generated by operations. We anticipate investment activities in 2009 will be
near 2008 levels and will be funded through operating cash flows. Capitalized
software development costs, as previously discussed, are primarily related to
enhancements to our eHealth platform. These enhancements are made to improve
efficiencies and/or generate additional revenues and are, thus, discretionary in
nature.
We did not see a material change in the payment activities of our customers in
2008 and do not anticipate a material change in 2009. We do, however, expect to
realize approximately $2.5 million in revenue from our existing automotive
contracts in 2009 and will continue to monitor their financial health as it
relates to outstanding accounts receivable. On April 30, 2009, an automotive
customer in our fitness management segment filed for bankruptcy protection under
Chapter 11. Our outstanding receivable from this customer was approximately
$34,000. The customer has paid the outstanding balance and continues to make
timely payments on the continued monthly service billings. In addition, we
collected receivable payments of approximately $137,000 from the customer during
the 90 days before the bankruptcy filing. Such payments may constitute
preferential payments recoverable under the Bankruptcy Code. We believe we have
valid defenses to any potential claim for these payments and will not be
required to repay the full amount. This customer has assumed our contract as of
May 22, 2009. On June 1, 2009, another automotive customer in our fitness
management segment filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11. Our
outstanding receivable from this customer was approximately $283,000. The
customer has paid the outstanding balance and continues to make timely payments
on the continued monthly service billings. In addition, we collected receivable
payments of approximately $110,000 from the customer during the 90 days before
bankruptcy. Such payments may constitute preferential payments recoverable under
the Bankruptcy Code. We believe we also have valid defenses to any potential
claim for these payments. This customer has assumed our contracts as of July 10,
2009. Our revenue from these customers was approximately $2,909,000 and $746,000
for the year ended December 31, 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2009,
respectively.
INFLATION
We do not believe that inflation has significantly impacted our results of
operations in any of the last three completed fiscal years.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As of June 30, 2009, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements or
transactions with unconsolidated, limited purpose entities.
PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor"
for forward-looking statements. Such "forward-looking" information is included
in this Form 10-K, including this Item 7, as well as in other materials filed or
to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (as well
as information included in oral statements or other written statements made or
to be made by the Company).
Forward-looking statements include all statements based on future expectations
and specifically include, among other things, statements relating to revenue
loss in our Fitness Management segment; our belief the current recession may
have an adverse impact on many industries, which could affect our customers and
lead to further revenue loss from contract termination or service reduction; our
belief that revenue decline will continue during 2009 due to the effects of the
recessionary economy, employment reductions and our members decreasing their
spending on discretionary services; our belief that the number of opportunities
to bid on new fitness management business during 2009 should be consistent with
past years; our belief that we will need to lower our pricing to be competitive
in the fitness management market, which may result lower profitability; our
ability to increase 2009 revenue on a basis consistent with past growth; our
ability to improve gross profit and margins in 2009 on a basis consistent with
past growth; our expectation that we will not borrow from the Wells Loan in 2009
and that we will remain in compliance with all of our financial covenants over
the life of the credit agreement; our belief that our short and long-term
capital needs will be met with cash flows generated by operations; our
anticipation that investment activities in 2009 will be at or below 2008 levels
and will be funded through operating cash flows; our anticipation that we will
not see a material change in the payment activities of our customers in 2009;
statements regarding the potential effects of automotive company bankruptcies on
our accounts receivable, contract continuation and prior payments and related
claims and defenses regarding repayment of preferential payments, and our belief
that inflation has not significantly impacted our results of operations in any
of the last three completed fiscal years, as well as statements regarding
projections and outlook relating to the industries in which we compete and the
economy in general, increasing revenue, improving margins, marketing efforts,
competitive conditions, the effect of price competition and changes to the
economy, and the sufficiency of our liquidity and capital resources. In
addition, the estimated annualized revenue value of our new, lost and existing
contracts is a forward looking statement, which is based upon an estimate of the
anticipated annualized revenue to be realized or lost. Such information should
be used only as an indication of the activity we have recently experienced in
our two business segments. These estimates, when considered together, should not
be considered an indication of the total net, incremental revenue growth we
expect to generate in any year, as actual net growth may differ from these
estimates due to actual staffing levels, participation rates and contract
duration, in addition to other revenue we may lose in the future due to contract
termination. Any statements that are not based upon historical facts, including
the outcome of events that have not yet occurred and our expectations for future
performance, are forward-looking statements. The words "potential," "believe,"
"estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "could," "will," "plan," "anticipate,"
and similar words and expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. Such statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations
of our management. Such forward-looking information involves important risks and
