NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).  In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Tivity Health^®, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, “Tivity Health,” the “Company,” or such terms as “we,” “us,” or “our”) reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement.  We have reclassified certain items in prior periods to conform to current classifications.

 

Our results from continuing operations do not include the results of the total population health services (“TPHS”) business, which we sold to Sharecare, Inc. (“Sharecare”) effective July 31, 2016.  Results of operations for the TPHS business have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  See Note 4 for further information.

 

We have omitted certain financial information that is normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP but that is not required for interim reporting purposes.  You should read the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

On January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC Topic 606”) using the modified retrospective method, pursuant to which we applied ASC Topic 606 to (i) all new contracts entered into after January 1, 2018 and (ii) contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018.  In accordance with this approach, our results for periods prior to January 1, 2018 were not revised and continue to be reported in accordance with our historical accounting under ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition.”  For contracts that were modified prior to January 1, 2018, we have not retrospectively restated the contract for those modifications in accordance with the contract modification guidance in ASC 606-10-25-12 and ASC 606-10-25-13 but instead, using the practical expedient available under ASC 606-10-65-1(f)(4), have reflected the aggregate effect of all modifications when identifying the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, determining the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price.

The cumulative impact of our adoption of ASC Topic 606 was not material to record as of January 1, 2018, and there was no material impact on our consolidated income statement, balance sheet, or cash flows.  For example, we do not have any material contract assets or contract liabilities as defined under ASC Topic 606.  In addition, the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer (for example, sales commissions) that would have been recognized as an asset on January 1, 2018 were not material to record.  See Note 3 for a further discussion of revenue recognition.

On January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows” (Topic 230) (“ASU 2016-15”).  ASU 2016-15 addresses how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows and is to be applied using a retrospective approach.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and did not result in a reclassification to items in prior periods.

On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting” (“ASU 2017-09”), which clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications.  ASU 2017-09 is to be applied prospectively to awards modified on or after January 1, 2018.  The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” (“ASU 2016-02” or “ASC 842”), which requires that lessees recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms greater than twelve months in the statement of financial position, and will be effective for us on January 1, 2019. ASU 2016-02 also requires improved disclosures to help users of financial statements better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. ASC 842 originally required entities to use a modified retrospective transition method in which companies would initially apply ASC 842 and recognize an adjustment for the effects of the transition as of the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented (January 1, 2017 for the Company). In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements”, which amends ASC 842 to allow entities to change the date of initial application to the beginning of the period of adoption (January 1, 2019 for the Company), with no requirement to recast comparative periods.  We have elected to apply ASC 842 as of January 1, 2019 and to recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard as an adjustment to beginning retained earnings as of January 1, 2019.  We are currently conducting analysis to quantify the adoption impact of the provisions of the new standard and evaluating our current leases. We believe we are following an appropriate timeline to allow for proper recognition, presentation and disclosure upon adoption effective January 1, 2019.    

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other” (“ASU 2017-04”), which simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating step two from the goodwill impairment test.  ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and is required to be applied prospectively. Early adoption is allowed for annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We do not anticipate that adopting this standard will have an impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”), which changes the fair value measurement disclosure requirements of ASC 820.  ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein, and is generally required to be applied retrospectively, except for certain components that are to be applied prospectively.  Early adoption is permitted for any eliminated or modified disclosures. We do not anticipate that adopting this standard will have a material impact on our disclosures.

 

Beginning in 2018, we account for revenue from contracts with customers in accordance with ASC Topic 606.  The unit of account in ASC Topic 606 is a performance obligation, which is a promise in a contract to transfer to a customer either a distinct good or service (or bundle of goods or services) or a series of distinct goods or services provided over a period of time. ASC Topic 606 requires that a contract's transaction price, which is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, is to be allocated to each performance obligation in the contract based on relative standalone selling prices and recognized as revenue when or as the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

We earn revenue from our three programs, SilverSneakers® senior fitness, Prime® Fitness and WholeHealth Living^TM.  We provide the SilverSneakers senior fitness program to members of Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans through our contracts with such plans.  We offer Prime Fitness, a fitness facility access program, through contracts with employers, commercial health plans, and other sponsoring organizations that allow their members to individually purchase the program.  We sell our WholeHealth Living program primarily to health plans.

 

The significant majority of our customer contracts contain one performance obligation - to stand ready to provide access to our network of fitness locations and fitness programming - which is satisfied over time as services are rendered each month over the contract term.  There are generally no performance obligations that are unsatisfied at the end of a particular month.  There was no material revenue recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 from performance obligations satisfied in a prior period.

 

Our fees are variable month to month and are generally billed per member per month (“PMPM”) or billed based on a combination of PMPM and member visits to a network location.  We bill PMPM fees by multiplying the contractually negotiated PMPM rate by the number of members eligible for or receiving our services during the month.  We bill for member visits approximately one month in arrears once actual member visits are known.  Payments from customers are typically due within 30 days of invoice date.  When material, we capitalize costs to obtain contracts with customers and amortize them over the expected recovery period.

Our customer contracts include variable consideration, which is allocated to each distinct month over the contract term based on eligible members and/or member visits each month.  The allocated consideration corresponds directly with the value to our customers of our services completed for the month.  Under the majority of our contracts, we recognize revenue each month using the practical expedient available under ASC 606-10-55-18, which provides that revenue is recognized in the amount for which we have the right to invoice. 

 

Although we evaluate our financial performance and make resource allocation decisions based upon the results of our single operating and reportable segment, we believe the following information depicts how our revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, revenue from our SilverSneakers program, which is predominantly contracted with Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans, comprised approximately 81% of our consolidated revenues, while revenue from our Prime Fitness and WholeHealth Living programs comprised approximately 16% and 3%, respectively, of our consolidated revenues.

 

Sales and usage-based taxes are excluded from revenues.

 

On July 27, 2016, we entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Sharecare and Healthways SC, LLC, a newly formed Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to which Sharecare acquired the TPHS business, which closed effective July 31, 2016 (“Closing”).

At Closing, Sharecare delivered to the Company an Adjustable Convertible Equity Right (the “ACER”) with an initial face value of $30.0 million.  The ACER became convertible into shares of common stock of Sharecare on July 31, 2018 at an initial conversion price of $249.87 per share, subject to customary adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and other reorganizations of Sharecare.   

The Purchase Agreement provided for post-closing adjustments based on, among other things, any successful claims for indemnification by Sharecare (which may have resulted in a reduction in the face amount of the ACER, unless the Company elects, in its sole discretion, to satisfy any such successful claims with cash payments), none of which such claims had been made as of September 30, 2018.

---

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we recorded the $39.8 million face value of the ACER at an estimated carrying value of $10.8 million, which was classified as an equity receivable included in other long-term assets. Upon conversion of the ACER in October 2018, we obtained 159,309 shares of Sharecare common stock.  There are certain restrictions related to selling or transferring this stock. These shares may not be sold or otherwise transferred except (i) for cash subject to the right of first refusal by Sharecare and/or one or more of its shareholders (in each case, at their option), or (ii) with the consent of Sharecare’s shareholders holding at least a majority of Sharecare stock, or (iii) pursuant to certain other exemptions.  

The following table presents financial results of the TPHS business included in “income from discontinued operations” for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.

 

 

 

 

We currently have three types of share-based awards outstanding to our employees and directors: stock options, restricted stock units, and market stock units. We believe that our share-based awards align the interests of our employees and directors with those of our stockholders.

 

We recognize share-based compensation expense for the market stock units if the requisite service period is rendered, even if the market condition is never satisfied. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized share-based compensation costs of $1.7 million and $4.9 million, respectively.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized share-based compensation costs of $1.7 million and $5.0 million, respectively.  We account for forfeitures as they occur.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we had an effective income tax rate from continuing operations of 26.3% and 25.6%, respectively.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we had an effective income tax rate from continuing operations of 34.3% and 35.8%, respectively.  The lower effective income tax rate in 2018 is primarily a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”).

At September 30, 2018, we had approximately $16.9 million of federal loss carryforwards, approximately $72.2 million of state loss carryforwards, and approximately $4.7 million of foreign tax credits.

We file income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and in various state and foreign jurisdictions.  Tax years remaining subject to examination in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction include 2015 to present.

The Company's debt, net of unamortized deferred loan costs, consisted of the following at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

 

 

Credit Facility

On April 21, 2017, we entered into a new Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a group of lenders.  The Credit Agreement replaced the prior Fifth Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement (the “Prior Credit Agreement”).  The Credit Agreement provides us with (1) a $100 million revolving credit facility that includes a $25 million sublimit for swingline loans and a $75 million sublimit for letters of credit, (2) a $70 million term loan A facility, (3) a $150 million delayed draw term loan facility, and (4) an uncommitted incremental accordion facility of $100 million.

We used the proceeds of the term loan A and cash on hand to repay all of the outstanding indebtedness under the Prior Credit Agreement and to pay transaction costs and expenses.  Proceeds of revolving loans and delayed draw term loans may be used to repay outstanding indebtedness (including amounts payable upon or with respect to any conversion of the Cash Convertible Notes discussed below and the repayment of any revolving loans borrowed for such purposes), to finance working capital needs, to finance acquisitions, to finance the repurchase of our common stock, to finance capital expenditures and for other general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries.  As further detailed below under “1.50% Cash Convertible Senior Notes Due 2018”, on July 2, 2018, we borrowed $100.0 million under the delayed draw term loan, which was used to repay the principal amount of the Cash Convertible Notes.  No additional amounts may be borrowed under the delayed draw term after July 2, 2018.

13

 

---

We are required to repay any outstanding revolving loans in full on April 21, 2022.  The term loan A was repaid in full during 2017 and may not be re-borrowed.  We are required to repay the delayed draw term loan in quarterly principal installments calculated as follows: (1) for each of the first six quarters following the time of borrowing (beginning with the fourth quarter of 2018 and ending with the first quarter of 2020), 1.250% of the aggregate principal amount of the delayed draw term loan funded as of the last day of the immediately preceding quarter; and (2) for each of the remaining quarters prior to maturity on April 21, 2022, 1.875% of the aggregate principal amount of the delayed draw term loan funded as of the last day of the immediately preceding quarter.  At maturity on April 21, 2022, the entire unpaid principal balance of the delayed draw term loan is due and payable. During the third quarter of 2018, we paid down $55.0 million on the delayed draw term loan, which satisfied all of the mandatory principal payments described in items 1 and 2 above and further reduced the principal balance due at maturity.  No further principal payments are required until maturity.  As of September 30, 2018, availability under the revolving credit facility totaled $86.9 million.   

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement generally bear interest at variable rates based on a margin or spread in excess of either (1) one-month, two-month, three-month or six-month LIBOR (or with the approval of affected lenders, 12-month LIBOR), which may not be less than zero, or (2) the greatest of (a) the SunTrust Bank prime lending rate, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, and (c) one-month LIBOR plus 1.00% (the “Base Rate”), as selected by the Company.  The LIBOR margin varies between 1.50% and 2.75%, and the Base Rate margin varies between 0.50% and 1.75%, depending on our net leverage ratio.  The Credit Agreement also provides for annual commitment fees ranging between 0.20% and 0.50% of the unused commitments under the revolving credit facility and the delayed draw term loan facility and annual letter of credit fees on the daily outstanding availability under outstanding letters of credit at the applicable LIBOR margin.  Extensions of credit under the Credit Agreement are secured by guarantees from all of the Company’s active material domestic subsidiaries and by security interests in substantially all of the Company’s and such subsidiaries’ assets.

The Credit Agreement contains financial covenants that require us to maintain, as defined, (1) specified maximum ratios or levels of funded debt to EBITDA and (2) a specified minimum ratio or level of fixed charge coverage. The Credit Agreement also contains various other affirmative and negative covenants that are typical for financings of this type.  Among other things, they limit repurchases of our common stock and the amount of dividends that we can pay to holders of our common stock.

1.50% Cash Convertible Senior Notes Due 2018

On July 16, 2013, we completed the issuance of $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of cash convertible senior notes due July 2018 (the “Cash Convertible Notes”), which bore interest at a rate of 1.50% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2014. The Cash Convertible Notes matured on July 2, 2018.  All of the holders elected to convert their Cash Convertible Notes for settlement on July 2, 2018, and none of the Cash Convertible Notes were repurchased or converted into cash prior to such date.  

The cash conversion feature of the Cash Convertible Notes was a derivative liability (the “Cash Conversion Derivative”) that required bifurcation from the Cash Convertible Notes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC Topic 815”), and was carried at fair value.  The fair value of the Cash Conversion Derivative at the time of issuance of the Cash Convertible Notes was recorded as a debt discount for purposes of accounting for the debt component of the Cash Convertible Notes.

The debt discount was amortized over the term of the Cash Convertible Notes using the effective interest method.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded $0 and $4.1 million, respectively, of interest expense related to the amortization of the debt discount based upon an effective interest rate of 5.7%.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded $2.0 million and $5.9 million, respectively, of interest expense related to the amortization of the debt discount based upon an effective interest rate of 5.7%.  We also recognized interest expense of $0 and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and interest expense of $0.6 million and $1.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, related to the contractual interest rate of 1.50% per year.

14

 

---

In connection with the issuance of the Cash Convertible Notes, we entered into privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions (the “Cash Convertible Notes Hedges”), which were cash-settled and were intended to reduce our exposure to potential cash payments that we would be required to make if holders elected to convert the Cash Convertible Notes at a time when our stock price exceeded the conversion price. The Cash Convertible Notes Hedges were recorded as a derivative asset under ASC Topic 815 and were carried at fair value.  See Note 9 for additional information regarding the Cash Convertible Notes Hedges and the Cash Conversion Derivative and their fair values.

On July 2, 2018, we repaid the $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Cash Convertible Notes using a combination of available cash and proceeds from borrowings under the delayed draw term loan facility of $100.0 million.  In addition, on July 2, 2018 we settled the Cash Conversion Derivative of $141.2 million, which was fully funded by payments made by the counterparties for the settlement of the Cash Convertible Notes Hedges.

In July 2013, we also sold separate privately negotiated warrants (the “Warrants”) initially relating, in the aggregate, to approximately 7.7 million shares of our common stock underlying the Cash Convertible Notes Hedges. The Warrants have an initial strike price of approximately $25.95 per share.  Beginning on October 1, 2018, the Warrants are subject to automatic exercise on a pro rata basis each trading day continuing for a period of 160 trading days (i.e., approximately 48,000 warrants are subject to automatic exercise on each trading day).  The Warrants are net share settled by our issuing a number of shares of our common stock per Warrant with a value corresponding to the excess of the market price per share of our common stock (as measured on each warrant exercise date under the terms of the Warrants) over the applicable strike price of the Warrants. The Warrants meet the definition of derivatives under the guidance in ASC Topic 815; however, because these instruments have been determined to be indexed to our own stock and meet the criteria for equity classification under ASC Topic 815, the Warrants have been accounted for as an adjustment to our additional paid-in-capital.

When the market price per share of our common stock exceeds the strike price of the Warrants, the Warrants have a dilutive effect on net income per share, and the “treasury stock” method is used in calculating the dilutive effect on earnings per share.  See Note 11 for additional information on such dilutive effect.

 

 

On November 6, 2017, United Healthcare issued a press release announcing expansion of its fitness benefits (“United Press Release”), and the market price of the Company's shares of common stock dropped on that same day. In connection with the United Press Release, three lawsuits have been filed against the Company as described below.  We are currently not able to predict the probable outcome of these matters or to reasonably estimate a range of potential losses, if any.  We intend to vigorously defend ourselves against all three complaints.

 

Weiner, Denham, and Allen Lawsuits

 

On November 20, 2017, Eric Weiner, claiming to be a stockholder of the Company, filed a complaint on behalf of stockholders who purchased the Company's common stock between February 24, 2017 and November 3, 2017 (“Weiner Lawsuit”).  The Weiner Lawsuit was filed as a class action in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, naming as defendants the Company, the Company's chief executive officer, chief financial officer and a former executive who served as both chief accounting officer and interim chief financial officer.  The complaint alleges that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated under the Exchange Act in making false and misleading statements and omissions related to the United Press Release.  The complaint seeks monetary damages on behalf of the purported class.  On April 3, 2018, the Court entered an order appointing the Oklahoma Firefighters Pension and Retirement System as lead plaintiff, designated counsel for the lead plaintiff, and established certain deadlines for the case.  On June 4, 2018, Plaintiff filed a first amended complaint.  On August 3, 2018, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the first amended complaint and a memorandum in support of motion to dismiss seeking dismissal on grounds that the first amended complaint fails to plead any actionable statement or omission and fails to allege facts sufficient to give rise to a strong inference of scienter (the “Motion to Dismiss”).

 

On January 26, 2018, Charles Denham, claiming to be a stockholder of the Company, filed a purported shareholder derivative action, on behalf of the Company, in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, naming the Company as a nominal defendant and the Company's chief executive officer, chief financial officer, a former executive who served as both chief accounting officer and interim chief financial officer, current directors and a former director of the Company, as defendants (“Denham Lawsuit”).  The complaint asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty, waste, and unjust enrichment, largely tracking allegations in the Weiner Lawsuit.  The complaint further alleges that certain defendants engaged in insider trading.  The plaintiff seeks monetary damages on behalf of the Company, certain corporate governance and internal procedural reforms, and other equitable relief.

On August 24, 2018, Andrew H. Allen, claiming to be a stockholder of the Company, filed a purported shareholder derivative action, on behalf of the Company, in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, naming the Company as a nominal defendant and the Company’s chief executive officer, chief financial officer, a former executive who served as both chief accounting officer and interim chief financial officer, together with nine current or former directors, as defendants (the “Allen Lawsuit”).  The complaint asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty and violations of the Securities and Exchange Act against all individual defendants, largely tracking allegations in the Weiner Lawsuit and Denham Lawsuit, and breach of fiduciary duty for insider trading against a former executive who served as both chief accounting officer and interim chief financial officer and one of the directors of the Company.  The plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of the Company, certain corporate governance and internal procedural reforms, and other equitable relief, including restitution from the two defendants alleged to have engaged in insider trading from all unlawfully obtained profits.  On October 15, 2018, the Allen Lawsuit and the Denham Lawsuit were consolidated by stipulation, and the consolidated case was stayed pending entry of an order resolving the Motion to Dismiss filed in the Weiner Lawsuit.

 

Other

 

Additionally, from time to time, we are subject to contractual disputes, claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business.  While we are unable to estimate a range of potential losses, we do not believe that any of the legal proceedings pending against us as of the date of this report, some of which are expected to be covered by insurance policies, will have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.  As these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, our view of these matters may change in the future. We expense legal costs as incurred. 

We account for certain assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, assuming the transaction occurs in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The hierarchy below lists three levels of fair value based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. We categorize each of our fair value measurements in one of these three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

 

As described in Note 7, the Cash Convertible Notes Hedges and Cash Conversion Derivative were settled upon their maturity on July 2, 2018 and therefore had a value of $0 at September 30, 2018.  At December 31, 2017, the fair values of the Cash Convertible Notes Hedges and the Cash Conversion Derivative were measured using Level 3 inputs because these instruments were not actively traded. The Cash Convertible Notes Hedges and the Cash Conversion Derivative were designed such that changes in their fair values would offset one another, with minimal impact to the consolidated statements of operations.

The following table presents our financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3):

 

 

The gains and losses included in earnings noted above represent the change in the fair value of these financial instruments and were recorded each period in the consolidated statements of operations as selling, general and administrative expenses.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

The estimated fair value of each class of financial instruments at September 30, 2018 was as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents – The carrying amount of $1.6 million approximates fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments (less than three months).

Debt – The estimated fair value of outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement, which includes a revolving credit facility and a delayed draw term loan facility (see Note 7), is determined based on the fair value hierarchy as discussed above.

The revolving credit facility and the delayed draw term loan are not actively traded and therefore are classified as a Level 2 valuation based on the market for similar instruments. The estimated fair value is based on the maximum of the prices set by the issuing bank given current market conditions and is not necessarily indicative of the amount we could realize in a current market exchange. The estimated fair value and carrying amount of outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement at September 30, 2018 were $51.9 million and $52.0 million, respectively.  

 

 

We used derivative instruments to manage risks related to the Cash Convertible Notes, which matured and were repaid on July 2, 2018.  We account for derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, which establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that certain derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at fair value. Additionally, changes in the derivative's fair value will be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met.  We do not execute transactions or hold derivative financial instruments for trading or other purposes.

 

Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

 

The Cash Conversion Derivative and Cash Convertible Notes Hedges were settled on July 2, 2018 in conjunction with the maturity of the Cash Convertible Notes.  They did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under U.S. GAAP and were measured at fair value, with gains and losses recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of operations. These derivative instruments did not have a material impact on our consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.

 

The Cash Conversion Derivative was accounted for as a derivative liability and carried at fair value. In order to offset the risk associated with the Cash Conversion Derivative, we entered into Cash Convertible Notes Hedges, which were cash-settled and were intended to reduce our exposure to potential cash payments that we would be required to make if holders elected to convert the Cash Convertible Notes at a time when our stock price exceeds the conversion price. The Cash Convertible Notes Hedges were accounted for as a derivative asset and carried at fair value.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Overview

 

Tivity Health, Inc. (the “Company”) was founded and incorporated in Delaware in 1981.  Through our three programs, SilverSneakers senior fitness, Prime Fitness and WholeHealth Living, we are focused on advancing long-lasting health and vitality, especially in aging populations.  The SilverSneakers senior fitness program is offered to members of Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans.  We also offer Prime Fitness, a fitness facility access program, through commercial health plans, employers, and other sponsoring organizations.  Our national network of fitness centers delivers both SilverSneakers and Prime Fitness.  In addition, a small portion of our fitness center network is available for discounted access through our WholeHealth Living program.  Our fitness networks encompass approximately 16,000 partner locations and more than 1,000 alternative locations that provide classes outside of traditional fitness centers. Through our WholeHealth Living program, which we sell primarily to health plans, we offer a continuum of services related to complementary, alternative, and physical medicine.  Our WholeHealth Living network includes relationships with approximately 80,000 complementary, alternative, and physical medicine practitioners to serve individuals through health plans and employers who seek health services such as chiropractic care, acupuncture, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and more.

 

Effective July 31, 2016, we sold our total population health services (“TPHS”) business to Sharecare.  Results of operations for the TPHS business have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company is headquartered at 701 Cool Springs Boulevard, Franklin, Tennessee 37067.

Customer Contracts

 

Our customer contracts generally have initial terms of approximately three years.  Some of our contracts allow the customer to terminate early and/or determine on an annual basis to which of their members they will offer our programs.

 

Business Strategy

 

Our “A-B-C-D” strategy, which leverages both our traditional physical footprint and developing digital platforms, is designed to (A) add new members in our three existing networks - SilverSneakers, Prime Fitness and WholeHealth Living, (B) build engagement and participation among our current eligible members, (C) collaborate with partners to add new products and services that will leverage the value of our brand, and (D) deepen relationships with our partners and their instructors within our national network.  In addition to the A-B-C-D strategy, we are focused on supporting the ability of our health plan customers to meet the needs of their members as well as providing a valuable service to improve the health and well-being of the consumers we serve through our networks and with our programs.

 

We engage and support our members based on the needs and preferences of our customers.  Within our fitness networks, we have approximately 16,000 partner locations and more than 1,000 alternative locations that provide classes outside of traditional fitness centers.  More than 14,000 of these partner locations within the national network provide access to SilverSneakers members, and more than 10,000 of these locations offer access to Prime Fitness members. 

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.  We prepare the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

 

We believe the following accounting policies are the most critical in understanding the estimates and judgments that are involved in preparing our financial statements and the uncertainties that could impact our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Beginning in 2018, we account for revenue from contracts with customers in accordance with ASC Topic 606.  The unit of account in ASC Topic 606 is a performance obligation, which is a promise in a contract to transfer to a customer either a distinct good or service (or bundle of goods or services) or a series of distinct goods or services provided over a period of time. ASC Topic 606 requires that a contract’s transaction price, which is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, is to be allocated to each performance obligation in the contract based on relative standalone selling prices and recognized as revenue when or as the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

We earn revenue from our three programs, SilverSneakers senior fitness, Prime Fitness and WholeHealth Living.  We provide the SilverSneakers senior fitness program to members of Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans through our contracts with such plans.  We offer Prime Fitness, a fitness facility access program, through contracts with employers, commercial health plans, and other sponsoring organizations that allow their members to individually purchase the program.  We sell our WholeHealth Living program primarily to health plans.

 

The significant majority of our customer contracts contain one performance obligation - to stand ready to provide access to our network of fitness locations and fitness programming - which is satisfied over time as services are rendered each month over the contract term.  There are generally no performance obligations that are unsatisfied at the end of a particular month.  There was no material revenue recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 from performance obligations satisfied in a prior period.  

 

23

 

---

Our fees are variable month to month and are generally billed per member per month (“PMPM”) or billed based on a combination of PMPM and member visits to a network location.  We bill PMPM fees by multiplying the contractually negotiated PMPM rate by the number of members eligible for or receiving our services during the month.  We bill for member visits approximately one month in arrears once actual member visits are known.  Payments from customers are typically due within 30 days of invoice date.  When material, we capitalize costs to obtain contracts with customers and amortize them over the expected recovery period.  

 

Our customer contracts include variable consideration, which is allocated to each distinct month over the contract term based on eligible members and/or member visits each month.  The allocated consideration corresponds directly with the value to our customers of our services completed for the month.  Under the majority of our contracts, we recognize revenue each month using the practical expedient available under ASC 606-10-55-18, which provides that revenue is recognized in the amount for which we have the right to invoice.  

 

Although we evaluate our financial performance and make resource allocation decisions based upon the results of our single operating and reportable segment, we believe the following information depicts how our revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, revenue from our SilverSneakers program, which is predominantly contracted with Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans, comprised approximately 81% of our consolidated revenues, while revenue from our Prime Fitness and WholeHealth Living programs comprised approximately 16% and 3%, respectively, of our consolidated revenues.

 

Sales and usage-based taxes are excluded from revenues.

 

Impairment of Intangible Assets and Goodwill

 

We review goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis (during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year) or more frequently whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We have a single reporting unit.

 

As part of the impairment evaluation, we may elect to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If we elect not to perform a qualitative assessment or we determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we perform a quantitative review as described below.

 

During a quantitative review of goodwill, we estimate the fair value of the reporting unit based on our market capitalization and compare such fair value to the carrying value of the reporting unit.  If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, no impairment is indicated. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, impairment of goodwill is measured as the excess of the carrying amount over fair value.

 

Except for a tradename that has an indefinite life and is not subject to amortization, we amortize identifiable intangible assets over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. We assess the potential impairment of intangible assets subject to amortization whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable. If we determine that the carrying value of other identifiable intangible assets may not be recoverable, we calculate any impairment using an estimate of the asset's fair value based on the estimated price that would be received to sell the asset in an orderly transaction between market participants.  We estimated the fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible asset, a tradename, using a present value technique, which requires management's estimate of future revenues attributable to this tradename, estimation of the long-term growth rate and royalty rate for this revenue, and determination of our weighted average cost of capital.  Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the estimate of fair value for the tradename.

 

Income Taxes

 

The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entity's financial statements or tax returns.  Accounting for income taxes requires significant judgment in evaluating tax positions and in determining income tax provisions, including determination of deferred tax assets, deferred tax liabilities, and any valuation allowances that might be required against deferred tax assets.

 

24

 

---

Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts that are expected to be realized. When we determine that it is more likely than not that we will be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset is made and reflected in income. This determination will be made by considering various factors, including the reversal and timing of existing temporary differences, tax planning strategies, and estimates of future taxable income exclusive of the reversal of temporary differences.

 

We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. U.S. GAAP also provides guidance on derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and income tax disclosures. Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. Variations in the actual outcome of these future tax consequences could materially impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

 

The Tax Act was signed into law on December 22, 2017 and includes a number of changes to existing U.S. tax laws that impact us, most notably, a reduction of the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017.  The Tax Act also provided for a one-time transition tax on certain foreign earnings and the acceleration of depreciation for certain assets placed into service after September 27, 2017.  In addition, it provides for prospective changes beginning in 2018, including acceleration of tax revenue recognition and additional limitations on executive compensation and the deductibility of interest.  We are currently evaluating the Tax Act with our professional advisers; we cannot predict at this time the full impact of the Tax Act on the Company in future periods.

 

Executive Overview of Results

 

The key financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are:

Results of Operations

 

The following table sets forth the components of the consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 expressed as a percentage of revenues from continuing operations.

 

 

 

Revenues

 

Revenues from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 increased $13.8 million and $35.7 million, respectively, or 10.0% and 8.5%, respectively, over the same periods in 2017, primarily due to a combination of a net increase in the number of eligible and enrolled members in our fitness solutions.

 

Cost of Services

 

Cost of services from continuing operations (excluding depreciation and amortization) as a percentage of revenues increased from the three months ended September 30, 2017 (68.7%) to the three months ended

26

 

---

September 30, 2018 (70.7%) due to a higher number of average visits per member per month in 2018 compared to 2017, and the related costs were not fully offset by incremental revenue from such visits due to certain of these member visits relating to customer contracts in which our revenue per member is fixed, while our costs are variable.  This increase was somewhat offset by lower expenses in 2018 related to salaries and benefits, including a lower amount of short-term incentive compensation based on progress against targets.     

 

Cost of services from continuing operations (excluding depreciation and amortization) as a percentage of revenues increased from the nine months ended September 30, 2017 (70.9%) to the nine months ended September 30, 2018 (71.6%) due to a higher number of average visits per member per month in 2018 compared to 2017, and the related costs were not fully offset by incremental revenue from such visits due to certain of these member visits relating to customer contracts in which our revenue per member is fixed, while our costs are variable.  This increase was mostly offset by lower expenses in 2018 related to salaries and benefits, including a lower amount of short-term incentive compensation based on progress against targets, as well as lower business separation costs associated with the separation of the Network Solutions business from the disposed TPHS business.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses from continuing operations as a percentage of revenues did not materially change from the three months ended September 30, 2017 (5.7%) to the three months ended September 30, 2018 (5.2%) or from the nine months ended September 30, 2017 (5.8%) to the nine months ended September 30, 2018 (5.3%).    

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization expense from continuing operations increased $0.3 million and $1.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, primarily due to increased depreciation expense related to computer software and hardware.  

 

Restructuring and Related Charges

 

In the third quarter of 2016, we began implementing a reorganization of our corporate support infrastructure, which was largely completed during the first quarter of 2017 (the "2016 Restructuring Plan").  During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we incurred approximately $0.7 million in restructuring charges from continuing operations, which consisted primarily of severance and other employee-related costs, related to the 2016 Restructuring Plan. 

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense from continuing operations decreased $3.2 million and $4.2 million from the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018, primarily due to a lower average level of outstanding indebtedness during 2018 compared to 2017, including the repayment of the Cash Convertible Notes in July 2018.  

 

Income Tax Expense

 

See Note 6 of the notes to consolidated financial statements in this report for a discussion of income tax expense.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Credit Facility

 

On April 21, 2017, we entered into the Credit Agreement, which replaced the Prior Credit Agreement.  The Credit Agreement provides us with (1) a $100 million revolving credit facility that includes a $25 million sublimit for swingline loans and a $75 million sublimit for letters of credit, (2) a $70 million term loan A facility, (3) a $150 million delayed draw term loan facility, and (4) an uncommitted incremental accordion facility of $100 million.

 

27

 

---

As of September 30, 2018, our availability under the Credit Agreement included $86.9 million under the revolving credit facility.  Proceeds of revolving loans may be used to repay outstanding indebtedness, to finance working capital needs, to finance acquisitions, to finance the repurchase of our common stock, to finance capital expenditures and for other general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries. 

 

The term loan A was repaid in full in 2017.  We are required to repay any outstanding revolving loans and the unpaid balance of the delayed draw term loan in full upon their maturity date of April 21, 2022.  

 

For a detailed description of the Credit Agreement, refer to Note 7 of the notes to consolidated financial statements in this report.  The Credit Agreement contains financial covenants that require us to maintain specified ratios or levels at September 30, 2018 of (1) a maximum total funded debt to EBITDA of 3.50 and (2) a minimum total fixed charge coverage of 1.50.  We were in compliance with all of the financial covenant requirements of the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2018. 

 

Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities

 

Operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 provided cash of $74.5 million compared to $73.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The slight increase in operating cash flow is primarily due to an increase in net income, mostly offset by a decrease in cash collections on accounts receivable due to timing.  

 

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities

 

Investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 used $5.0 million in cash, compared to $4.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, which was primarily due to increased capital expenditures primarily related to digital applications and platforms, somewhat offset by proceeds received during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from a release of escrow funds related to the sale of MeYou Health, LLC in June 2016.      

 

Cash Flows Provided By/Used in Financing Activities

 

Financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 used $96.2 million in cash, compared to $68.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  This change is primarily due to higher net repayments of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

 

Cash Convertible Senior Notes

 

We repaid the Cash Convertible Notes upon their maturity on July 2, 2018 through a combination of available cash, payments made by the counterparties under the Cash Convertible Notes Hedges, and available credit under the Credit Agreement, as further described in Note 7 of the notes to consolidated financial statements in this report.  

 

For a detailed description of the related warrants, refer to Note 7 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in this report.  

 

General

 

We believe that cash flows from operating activities, our available cash, and our anticipated available credit under the Credit Agreement will continue to enable us to meet our contractual obligations and fund our current operations and debt payments for at least the next 12 months.  We cannot assure you that we will be able to secure additional financing if needed and, if such funds are available, whether the terms or conditions will be favorable to us.

 

28

 

---

If contract development accelerates or acquisition opportunities arise, we may need to issue additional debt or equity securities to provide the funding for these increased growth opportunities. We may also issue debt or equity securities in connection with future acquisitions or strategic alliances.  We cannot assure you that we would be able to issue additional debt or equity securities on terms that would be favorable to us.

 

Recent Relevant Accounting Standards

 

See Note 2 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in this report for discussion of recent relevant accounting standards.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

We are subject to market risk related to interest rate changes, primarily as a result of the Credit Agreement.  Borrowings under the Credit Agreement generally bear interest at variable rates based on a margin or spread in excess of either (1) one-month, two-month, three-month or six-month LIBOR (or with the approval of affected lenders, twelve-month LIBOR), which may not be less than zero, or (2) the greatest of (a) the SunTrust Bank prime lending rate, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, and (c) one-month LIBOR plus 1.00% (the “Base Rate”), as selected by the Company.  The LIBOR margin varies between 1.50% and 2.75%, and the Base Rate margin varies between 0.50% and 1.75%, depending on our net leverage ratio. 

 

We estimate that a one-point interest rate change in our floating rate debt would have resulted in a change in interest expense of approximately $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2018.  Based on that evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective.  They are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
