De Novo Activity and Pipeline

Renovations at Laguna Treatment Hospital, the Company’s 93-bed Chemical Dependency Rehabilitation Hospital near Laguna Beach, California, are nearing completion. The hospital is currently expected to open in the second quarter of 2016.

In October, the Company began treating clients at River Oaks, the 162-bed, $18.8 million residential facility near Tampa, Florida with current census at 100, or 91% of the 110 staffed beds.

The Company has initiated the development of 22 additional detoxification beds at its Recovery First facility in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, that are currently expected to come online in the fourth quarter of 2016, and has initiated the development of 44 additional residential beds and 48 sober living beds at The Oxford Centre in Mississippi that are currently expected to come online in the first half of 2017.

Acquisition Activity

In October, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets of Sunrise House Foundation, Inc., the operator of a 110-bed substance abuse treatment center, 30 halfway house beds and two outpatient programs all in Western New Jersey, for a purchase price of $6.6 million in cash.

In December, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire Townsend, a substance abuse treatment provider in Louisiana that operates six in-network outpatient centers that deliver intensive outpatient treatment, a 32-bed in-network facility that offers detoxification and inpatient treatment and an in-network lab that services its facilities for a purchase price of $12.75 million in cash and $8.5 million in restricted shares of the Company’s common stock. This transaction is currently anticipated to close in the first half of 2016.

In December, the Company also signed a definitive agreement to acquire Las Vegas-based Solutions Recovery, its affiliates and real estate assets for $6.75 million cash and $6.25 million of restricted shares of the Company’s common stock. The acquisition, which is expected to close in the first half of 2016, subject to customary closing conditions, will provide 124 sober living beds, 70 licensed in-network detoxification, residential and halfway house beds, and three in-network outpatient centers.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flows from Operations

As of December 31, 2015, AAC Holdings’ balance sheet reflected cash and cash equivalents of $18.8 million and total debt of $145.1 million. Capital expenditures in the fourth quarter of 2015 totaled $8.7 million. Cash flows provided by operations totaled $0.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2015 compared with cash flows provided by operations of $2.2 million in the prior-year period and cash flows used by operations of $0.8 million in the third quarter of 2015. Days sales outstanding (DSO) was 96 for the fourth quarter of 2015 compared with 71 for the prior-year period and 93 for the third quarter of 2015. For the months of December 2015 and January 2016, however, DSO declined to 89 and 85, respectively.

Deerfield Management Capital Commitment

As of December 31, 2015, the Company had drawn down $25.0 million of convertible subordinated debt from affiliates of Deerfield Management Company, L.P. that bears interest at an annual rate of 2.5%, matures on September 30, 2021 and is convertible to common stock at $30.00 per share. AAC has undrawn capacity of up to an additional $25.0 million of subordinated debt and up to $50.0 million of subordinated convertible debt (subject to certain conditions).

2016 Outlook

For the full year 2016, revenues are expected to be in the range of $265 million to $275 million. This estimate is based on average daily residential census for the year of 800, inclusive of access to Laguna Treatment Hospital and additional beds at Recovery First; average daily residential revenue of approximately $800 to $825; and approximately $32 million to $34 million of revenue from standalone outpatient centers and related lab services from those visits, as well as from the Recovery Brands, Townsend and Solutions Recovery acquisitions.

Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $52 million to $55 million and adjusted earnings per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $0.95 to $1.03. Assumptions also include an annual effective tax rate of 37% to 39% and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding of approximately 23 million for the year.

This outlook does not include the impact of any future acquisitions, transaction-related costs, litigation settlement, expenses related to legal defenses and de novo start-up expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income available to AAC Holdings, Inc. common stockholders, and adjusted diluted earnings per share (herein collectively referred to as "Non-GAAP Disclosures") are “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined under the rules and regulations promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Management defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted for interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, income tax expense, stock-based compensation and related tax reimbursements, litigation settlement and California matter related expense, reorganization expense (which includes certain reorganization transactions completed in April 2014 (the "Reorganization Transactions") and expenses associated with the amendment and restatement of our prior credit facility in April 2014), acquisition-related expense (which includes professional services for accounting, legal, valuation services and licensing expenses), de novo start-up expenses, facility closure operating losses and expense associated with The Academy and FitRx, and bargain purchase gain associated with our acquisition of Sunrise House in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Supplemental Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Disclosures (continued)
Unaudited
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

On December 31, 2015, we ceased operations at The Academy and FitRx due to their continued unprofitability and our realignment to focus solely on adult addition treatment. As noted above, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income available to AAC Holdings, Inc. common stockholders for 2015 includes the operating loses incurred during 2015 for these two facilities plus costs incurred with closing the facilities (including severance costs). Adjusted EBITDA for the first, second and third quarters of 2015 have been recast to reflect the facility operating losses for The Academy and FitRx in the quarter in which they were incurred as non-GAAP adjustments.

The following table presents Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income Available to AAC Holdings, Inc. common stockholders, and Adjusted diluted earning per share as previously stated and as recast.

The Non-GAAP Disclosures are considered supplemental measures of the Company’s performance and are not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. The Non-GAAP Disclosures are not measures of the Company’s financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Management has included information concerning Non-GAAP Disclosures because they believe that such information is used by certain investors as a measure of a company’s historical performance. Management believes these measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of issuers of equity securities, many of which present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA when reporting their results. Because Non-GAAP Disclosures are not determined in accordance with GAAP, they are subject to varying calculations and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Management’s presentation of Non-GAAP Disclosures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.
