The Company has outstanding agreements to establish 38 new centers, as of March 31, 2012.

 

   

The numbers of treatment and diagnostic patient cases were 7,860 and 44,527 in the first quarter of 2012, respectively, representing a 0.9% and 43.0% increase from the first quarter of 2011.

“In the first quarter of 2012, we delivered healthy growth and increased net revenues by more than 22% compared with the first quarter of 2011,” said Dr. Jianyu Yang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Concord Medical, “We are confident in our expansion strategy and growth prospects. We are pushing forward on all fronts to establish standalone hospitals, open new centers with hospital partners, pursue acquisition targets, and increase our utilization and efficiency at our existing facilities.”

First Quarter 2012 Results

Total net revenues were RMB106.7 million ($16.9 million) for the first quarter of 2012, up 22.1% from the first quarter of 2011, primarily due to the rise in patient cases from existing centers and the increase in number of centers in operation compared with first quarter of 2011.

Cost of revenues in the first quarter of 2012 was RMB44.4 million ($7.1 million), a 35.8% increase from the first quarter of 2011, primarily due to an increase in depreciation costs related to new equipment as well as rising consumable and other center-related expenses.

Gross profit margin in the first quarter of 2012 was 58.4% as compared to 62.6% in the first quarter of 2011. The lower gross profit margin was primarily due to an increase in depreciation cost as a result of business expansion, and opening of new centers.


Operating expenses, consisting of selling expenses and general and administrative expenses, were RMB24.9 million ($4.0 million) in the first quarter of 2012 as compared to RMB19.9 million in the first quarter of 2011. The operating expenses are composed of RMB8.0 million ($1.3 million) in selling expenses and RMB16.9 million ($2.7 million) in G&A expenses, accounting for 7.5% and 15.9% of net revenues respectively. The increase was primarily due to rising promotional and marketing expenses relating to new centers established in the past 12 months. The company also spent RMB2.5 million ($0.4 million) in web-based marketing expenses in this quarter.

Operating income was RMB37.3 million ($5.9 million) in the first quarter of 2012, a 7.5% increase from the first quarter of 2011. Operating income excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP) was RMB39.6 million ($6.3 million), a 6.7% increase from the first quarter of 2011.

Income tax expense in the first quarter of 2012 was RMB8.8 million ($1.4 million), compared to an income tax expense of RMB8.9 million in the first quarter of 2011. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2012 was 26.0% as compared to 27.9% in the first quarter of 2011.

Net income in the first quarter of 2012 was RMB25.0 million ($4.0 million), a 9.2% increase from the first quarter of 2011. Both basic and diluted earnings per ADS for the first quarter of 2012 were RMB0.52 ($0.08).

Non-GAAP net income in the first quarter of 2012 was RMB27.3 million ($4.3 million), a 7.9% increase from the first quarter of 2011. Both non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per ADS in the first quarter of 2012 were RMB0.57 ($0.09).

Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was RMB73.6 million ($11.7 million) for the first quarter of 2012, representing a 12.1% increase from the first quarter of 2011, primarily due to increase in operating income and depreciation expenses during the period.

Capital expenditure for the first quarter of 2012 was RMB36.0 million ($5.7 million), primarily on purchasing new equipment for new centers.

As of March 31, 2012, the Company had total fixed assets of RMB1,051.1 million ($166.9 million), cash of RMB281.7 million ($44.7 million), and restricted cash of RMB11.8 million ($1.9 million).

As of March 31, 2012, the Company had bank credit lines of RMB565.0 million ($89.7 million), of which RMB250.3 million ($39.7 million) were drawn down.

Accounts receivable was RMB233.3 million ($37.1 million) as of March 31, 2012, compared to RMB244.2 million as of December 31, 2011.

Days sales outstanding was approximately 201 days in the first quarter of 2012, as compared to 192 days in the fourth quarter of 2011, the increase was primarily due to seasonality impact arising from the Spring Festival in the first quarter of 2012.

Recent Developments

Update on Chang’an Hospital Acquisition — The Company is on schedule for all of the government approval processes. The Company plans to close the transaction by June 30, 2012, after which Chang’an will be consolidated into the Company. Revenue generated by Chang’an Hospital in the first quarter of 2012 increased significantly, as compared to the first quarter of 2011. The Company will provide more updates as the transaction moves forward.


In May 2012, Chang’an Hospital becomes the first Chinese hospital accredited with Stage 6 of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) capabilities by the U.S. Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS). Chang’an Hospital has been ranked the highest among Chinese hospitals in terms of EMR capabilities by China’s Ministry of Health.

Tele-radiotherapy Initiatives — The Company has established a Tele-radiotherapy Business Department, in collaboration with Jinwei Medical Services, Inc., a development-stage company that specializes in the tele-radiotherapy in China. Concord Medical plans to invest up to RMB 10 million ($1.6 million) in 2012 to expand its tele-radiotherapy service. The goal is to establish a tele-radiotherapy network that covers all of our centers in China and expand to new hospital partners, to alleviate the long-standing issue of shortages of radiotherapy expertise, especially in tier-II hospitals in China.

Share repurchase program — During the first quarter of 2012, the Company repurchased 573,033 ADSs, representing 1,719,099 ordinary shares, for an aggregate consideration of $2.2 million (including commissions), under the share repurchase program approved by the Board on September 30, 2011. Since the inception of the program, Concord Medical has repurchased 889,678 ADSs, representing 2,669,034 ordinary shares, for an aggregate consideration of $3.3 million (including commissions).

2012 Outlook

The Company expects to consolidate financial results of Chang’an Hospital beginning at the third quarter of 2012. Based on current market and operating conditions, planned business expansion and forecasted Chang’an Hospital financial results, the Company is maintaining its 2012 fiscal year business guidance, first announced in the Q4 2011 earnings release, as following:

 

   

Total net revenues of RMB590 million to RMB630 million, or 30%-40% growth from 2011 fiscal year;

 

   

Growth in total net revenues from lease and management services of 15% to 18%;

 

   

Revenue from Chang’an Hospital of RMB190 million to RMB210 million, reflecting consolidation of 6-months financial results; and

 

   

Network capital expenditures of RMB250 million to RMB275 million

The company is targeting to obtain the license for at least one specialty oncology hospital in 2012.

The foregoing reflects Concord Medical’s current and preliminary views, which are subject to change.

These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “project,” “predict,” “should” and “will” and similar expressions.

Such factors include: the number of new radiotherapy and diagnostic imaging centers opened; the increase in the number of patients in existing centers; the establishment of specialty cancer hospitals; changes in the healthcare industry in China, including changes in the healthcare policies and regulations of the PRC government; and technological or therapeutic changes affecting the field of cancer treatment and diagnostic imaging. Further information regarding these and other risks is included in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), Concord Medical uses certain non-GAAP measures. The Company presents certain of its financial information that is adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude the impact of share-based compensation expense. The Company believes excluding share-based compensation expense from its non-GAAP financial measures is useful for its management and investors to assess and analyze the Company’s core operating results as such expense is not directly attributable to the underlying performance of the Company’s business operations and do not impact its cash earnings. Concord Medical also believes these non-GAAP measures excluding share-based compensation expense are important in helping investors to understand the Company’s current financial performance and future prospects and to compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis. In addition, Concord Medical also presents the non-GAAP measure of Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined in this announcement as net income plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expenses and other adjustments. Other adjustments include foreign exchange losses and other income, and loss from disposal of property, plant and equipment. Furthermore, Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the impact of items that the Company does not consider indicative of the performance of its network of centers. The Company believes investors will similarly use Adjusted EBITDA as one of the key metrics to evaluate its financial performance and to compare its current operating results with corresponding historical periods and with other companies in the healthcare services industry. The presentation of these additional measures should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results or as being comparable to results reported or forecasted by other companies. The non-GAAP measures have been reconciled to GAAP measures in the attached financial statements.
