IRVINE, CA--(Marketwire - October 27, 2009) - Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: [ SUNH ]) today announced its operating results for the third quarter ended Sept. 30, 2009.

Third-quarter Results:

On a normalized basis, comparing the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2009, to the same period in 2008 (unless otherwise stated):

 -- consolidated revenues rose 3.3 percent to $470.9 million; -- rates continued to drive revenue growth; -- acuity strategy contributed to rate growth; -- consolidated EBITDAR increased 5.3 percent to $60.4 million; -- EBITDAR margin improved 20 basis points to 12.8 percent; -- consolidated EBITDA increased 8.3 percent to $42.2 million; -- EBITDA margin improved 50 basis points to 9.0 percent; -- diluted earnings per share from continuing operations reported at $0.25, up 19 percent; -- operating cash flows up 36 percent to $39.8 million; -- the sole normalizing item in the third quarter was a non-recurring pretax expense of $0.9 million for restructuring costs, which consisted principally of employee severance costs; -- infrastructure restructuring should reduce overhead by approximately $10.0 million on an annualized basis; and -- results included $1.0 million of non-recurring project costs associated with the implementation of the new clinical/billing platform and labor management system. 

Commenting on the Company's third-quarter results, Richard K. Matros, Sun's chairman and chief executive officer, remarked, "It appears that we have weathered the worst of the economic downturn relative to overall occupancy and mix. On a sequential basis, our occupancy improved 20 basis points. Although occupancy was down 80 basis points compared to third quarter of 2008, it is an improvement over the decrease of 130 basis points that we experienced in the second quarter. Our skilled mix was down 20 basis points compared to third quarter of 2008, as compared to the second quarter's year-over-year decline of 100 basis points. As a percent of revenue, skilled mix increased 90 basis points over the third quarter of 2008. September's occupancy edged up to 88.2 percent and has held in October. The Company's operating cash flows for the quarter were strong and our cost controls continue to be solid."

Segment Updates

The year-over-year revenue growth in Sun's inpatient services business (SunBridge) for the quarter of $16.9 million or 4.2 percent was principally driven by skilled rate growth and census expansion in the hospice business (SolAmor). SunBridge's nursing center Medicare rate continued to demonstrate strong acuity growth, as evidenced by the Rehab RUG utilization of 88.9 percent and REX utilization of 42 percent, resulting in an 8.1 percent increase in rates. In addition, SunBridge experienced a 5.4 percent increase in managed care rates. SolAmor's revenues grew 75 percent from $4.1 million to $7.2 million, principally due to growth in census (driven in part by a September 2008 acquisition). SolAmor had its best ever quarter, contributing $1.6 million in EBITDA and a 22.2 percent EBITDA margin. The Oct. 1, 2009 acquisition of Allegiance Hospice will increase the potential of the hospice business line. Overall, inpatient services EBITDA grew $4.5 million year over year along with a 60 basis point improvement in margin, which increased to 12.6 percent for the quarter.

SunDance, Sun's rehabilitation therapy services business, experienced revenue growth of $6.7 million or 17.4 percent in the quarter and EBITDA margin expansion of 110 basis points, which produced a 6.1 percent margin for the quarter. The revenue growth and margin expansion were favorably impacted by 15 percent growth in revenue per contract.

The slow economy continues to impact the demand for temporary medical staffing across the industry. Accordingly, revenues from CareerStaff, Sun's medical staffing services business, were down compared to revenues in the third quarter of 2008. Despite the decline in revenues, CareerStaff experienced EBITDA margin growth of 40 basis points to 9.3 percent for the quarter.

Mr. Matros further stated, "Acuity in our inpatient services business continued to be strong, particularly in our Rehab Recovery Suites ® (RRS) centers, where skilled mix increased 40 basis points to 21.5 percent over the third quarter of 2008. Quality results as measured by both internal and external metrics continued to reflect our commitment to quality of care, and we expect that 2009 will be our best year in terms of these metrics. SolAmor continued its strong performance and will benefit from the recent acquisition of Allegiance Hospice. Through nine months on $19.2 million in revenue, it contributed $3.5 million in EBITDA. CareerStaff, as previously noted, is our hardest-hit business segment and, while revenues have decreased, our management team once again increased margins. SunDance recorded another good quarter and continues to show growth in key metrics."
