Management Commentary:
“These second quarter fiscal 2020 results showcase the resiliency of our business model, and I could not be prouder of our whole team,” said CEO and Chairman Greg Crawford. “In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the emphasis on the need for in-home healthcare has been magnified, and robust industry tailwinds have developed as a result. We believe this pandemic has underscored the importance of Protech’s mission going into the future, and as a dynamic home healthcare provider, we are ready to seize on these industry forces. These financial results are affirmation of the strength and resilience of our operations during this crisis, as we continue to serve the escalating needs of our patients and of our referring physicians while ensuring the protection of our frontline employees.
As these results illustrate, we have continued to demonstrate exceptional revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth, and I am particularly pleased with the organic growth we are seeing. With an extremely healthy balance sheet, continued margin expansion and improving cash flows, our focus for 2020 is to build on organic growth initiatives and be ready to pull the trigger in the event the right acquisition at the right consideration presents itself. As always, we will remain patient as it relates to our acquisition approach. I’d like to thank the entire Protech team for their tireless efforts and stakeholders for all of their continued support.”
Chief Financial Officer, Hardik Mehta added, “We are extremely pleased that our Adjusted EBITDA margin has breached the 20% level and are confident in this favorable trend. We continue to significantly outpace industry growth rates from a top-line perspective and continue to focus our attention on growing scale through both organic and inorganic opportunities. Additionally, we remain laser focused on improving profitability across the business through our stated three-pronged growth strategy. The removal of non-invasive ventilators from the 2021 Competitive Bidding Program provides us with an additional level of comfort as it relates to the margin outlook for that respective piece of equipment. Lastly, we anticipate more favorable deal terms on the acquisition front to become available as a result of COVID-19, and as Greg mentioned, we will not hesitate to pull the trigger when appropriate.”
