Nobilis Health Corp.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 – COMPANY DESCRIPTION

Nobilis Health Corp. (“Nobilis” or the “Company”) was incorporated on March 16, 2007 under the name "Northstar Healthcare Inc." pursuant to the provisions of the British Columbia Business Corporations Act . On December 5, 2014, Northstar Healthcare Inc. changed its name to Nobilis Health Corp. The Company owns and manages health care facilities in the States of Texas and Arizona, consisting primarily of specialty surgical hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers and multi-specialty clinics. The Company's service offerings within the health care industry include providing contracted marketing services and accounts receivable factoring.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The Company consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. The Company consolidates subsidiaries in which it holds, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting rights and, in the case of variable interest entities, with respect to which the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary.

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have not been audited by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, except that the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2016 , is derived from previously audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair presentation have been included. These interim consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to current period financial statement classifications. The reclassifications included in these comparative interim consolidated financial statements represent a change in presentation of cash flows related to capital leases. The reclassifications were deemed to be immaterial to the consolidated financial statements both individually and in the aggregate.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. Therefore, these interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (“2016 Annual Report”) filed with the SEC on March 14, 2017. The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. There have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies or estimates from those disclosed in the 2016 Annual Report.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Account Standard Update (ASU) No. 2017-01, Business Combinations – Clarifying the Definition of a Business . This standard clarifies the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions, disposals of assets or businesses. The standard introduces a test to determine when assets acquired are not a business and clarifies that a business must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that contributes to an output to be considered a business. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-10, Service Concession Arrangements: Determining the Customer of the Operation Services. This standard clarifies the accounting and definition of the grantor in a service concession arrangement. Per ASU 2017-10, the grantor is the customer of the operation services in all cases for those arrangements. This new ASU is effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the method of adoption that it will use and the impact it will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2016-09"). ASU 2016-09 impacts several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including classification of certain items on the consolidated statement of cash flows and accounting for income taxes. Specifically, the ASU requires that excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies (the difference between the deduction for tax purposes and the compensation cost recognized for financial reporting purposes) be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the consolidated statement of operations, introducing a new element of volatility to the provision for income taxes. ASU

Table of Contents

2016-09 is effective on January 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2017. This adoption did not have an impact on the Company's financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This standard simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by eliminating step two from the goodwill impairment test. Instead of a two-step impairment model, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value as determined in step one of the impairment test, an impairment loss is measured at the amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This ASU is effective for any interim or annual impairment tests for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU in the second quarter of 2017. This adoption did not have an impact on the Company's financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. This standard clarifies the accounting and application of modifications to terms and conditions of share-based payment awards. This new ASU, based on meeting certain fair market value, classification and vesting conditions, includes guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting under Topic 718. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The Company adopted this ASU in the second quarter of 2017. This adoption did not have an impact on the Company's financial statements.

Revenue Recognition Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 , Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) , which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that “an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.” The standard provides enhancements to the quality and consistency of how revenue is reported by companies, while also improving comparability in the financial statements of companies reporting using International Financial Reporting Standards or U.S. GAAP. The new standard also will require enhanced revenue disclosures, provide guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively and improved guidance for multiple-element arrangements. This accounting standard becomes effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim reporting periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2016. This new standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contract s with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations . The purpose of this standard is to clarify the implementation of guidance on principal versus agent considerations related to ASU 2014-09. The standard has the same effective date as ASU 2014-09 described above.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customer (Topic 606) Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing , which provides clarity related to ASU 2014-09 regarding identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation. The standard has the same effective date as ASU 2014-09 described above.

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients , which provides narrow scope improvements and practical expedients related to ASU 2014-09. The purpose of this standard is to clarify certain narrow aspects of ASU 2014-09, such as assessing the collectability criterion, presentation of sales taxes, and other similar taxes collected from customers, non-cash consideration, contract modifications at transition, completed contracts at transition, and technical correction. The standard has the same effective date as ASU 2014-09 described above.

In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20: Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . The amendments in this standard affect narrow aspects of guidance issued in ASU 2014-09. The standard has the same effective date as ASU 2014-09 described above.

The Company plans to adopt these new revenue standard updates in the first quarter of 2018 and does not anticipate the adoption of these pronouncements to have a material impact with regard to its current contracts on its consolidated financial statements. The Company is still evaluating the possible effects of the new standard and has selected the modified retrospective transition method. The revenue recognition steering committee is currently evaluating the appropriate level of revenue disaggregation, as well as possible changes of internal control as it relates to the overall implementation. Moreover, industry guidance is continuing to develop around this issue, and any conclusions in the final industry guidance that is inconsistent with the Company’s application could result in changes to the Company’s expectations regarding the impact that this new accounting standard could have on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS

The Company accounts for all transactions that represent business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, where the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity are recognized and measured at their fair values on the date the Company obtains control in the acquiree. Such fair values that are not finalized for reporting periods following the acquisition date are estimated and recorded as provisional amounts. Adjustments to these provisional amounts during the measurement period (defined as the date through which all information required to identify and measure the consideration transferred, the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interests has been obtained, limited to one year from the acquisition date) are recorded as of the date of acquisition. Any material impact to comparative information for periods after acquisition, but before the period in which adjustments are identified, is recognized during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined.

2017 Transactions:

DeRosa Medical, P.C. ("DeRosa")

On September 13, 2017, the Company purchased DeRosa in exchange for $0.9 million in cash. As a result of the acquisition, the Company has recognized $0.7 million of goodwill within our Medical Segment. The Company believes that the goodwill is primarily comprised of the business opportunities to be gained through the expanded geographical coverage as well as the access to a new physician group.

Hamilton Vein Center (HVC)

The Company completed the acquisition of the operating assets of HVC, Hamilton Physician Services, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“HPS”), Carlos R. Hamilton, III, M.D., P.A. a Texas Professional Association (“PA”) (HPS and PA are each a “Seller” and collectively “Sellers”), and Carlos R. Hamilton III, M.D, a resident of the State of Texas (“Owner”). The Company, Northstar Healthcare Acquisitions, L.L.C. ("Buyer"), Sellers and Owner entered into an amended and restated purchase agreement (the “Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement”) dated as of March 8, 2017.

Buyer received substantially all of the operating assets of Sellers in exchange for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $13.3 million , comprised of $8.3 million in cash, $5.0 million in the form of a convertible note and an additional $0.3 million purchase price increase related to a working capital adjustment. The note is convertible to cash or stock at the Company's election, and is payable in two equal installments over a two -year period.

As part of the Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement, $0.5 million of the cash purchase price was held back and is subject to certain indemnification provisions. On the twelve-month anniversary of closing, 50% of the amount held back, less any amounts paid as, or claimed as, indemnification, will be paid to the Owner. The remaining amounts held back, less any amounts paid as, or claimed as, indemnification, will be paid to the Owner on the twenty-four-month anniversary of closing.

As a result of the acquisition, the Company has recognized $8.3 million of goodwill within our Medical Segment. The Company believes that the goodwill is primarily comprised of the business opportunities to be gained through the expanded geographical coverage as well as the access to a new physician group.

Revenues and net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2017, are $3.0 million and $0.8 million , respectively. Revenues and net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, are $7.8 million and $1.1 million , respectively.

The costs related to the transaction were nominal and were expensed during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. These costs are included in the corporate general and administrative expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

We finalized our purchase price allocation during the third quarter of 2017. The final fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition is summarized in the following table ( in thousands ):

2016 Transactions:

On October 28, 2016, the Company acquired Arizona Vein and Vascular Center, LLC (AVVC) and its four affiliated surgery centers operating as Arizona Center for Minimally Invasive Surgery, LLC (ACMIS), (collectively, “AZ Vein”) from Dr. L. Philipp Wall, M.D., for a total purchase price of $22.3 million comprised of $17.5 million in cash, $2.25 million in Nobilis common shares, $2.25 million in the form of a convertible note, $0.1 million earn-out arrangement to be paid in cash based on a trailing 12 month earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of AZ Vein and the purchased assets and an additional $0.2 million purchase price increase related to a working capital adjustment.

In addition, $1.1 million of the cash purchase price was held back and is subject to certain indemnification provisions. On the twelve-month anniversary of closing, 50% of the amount held back, less any amounts paid as, or claimed as, indemnification, will be paid to Dr. Wall. The remaining amount held back, less any amounts paid as, or claimed as, indemnification, will be paid to Dr. Wall on the twenty-four-month anniversary of closing.

Dr. Wall was the sole equity holder for both AVVC and ACMIS and started the companies in 2007 and 2012, respectively. AVVC and ACMIS are leading clinical and surgical providers for vascular, radiology, podiatry, and general surgery, with five locations in the Phoenix and Tucson metropolitan areas. The acquisition expands Nobilis' presence in two high-growth geographic markets, Phoenix and Tucson, and increases its multi-specialty offering with new vascular surgical specialties within a group of established physician partners.

As a result of the acquisition, the Company has recognized $16.1 million of goodwill within our Medical Segment. The Company believes that the goodwill is primarily comprised of the business opportunities to be gained through the expanded geographical coverage as well as the access to a new physician group.

Unaudited Supplemental Pro Forma Information

The following table presents the unaudited pro forma results of the Company as if all of the business combinations previously discussed had been made on January 1, 2016. The pro forma information is based on the Company’s consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information has been provided for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of the actual results that would have been achieved by combining the companies for the periods presented, or of the results that may be achieved by the combined companies in the future. Further, results may vary significantly from the results reflected in the following unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information because of future events and transactions, as well as other factors.

Table of Contents

The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information presented below has been prepared by adjusting the historical results of the Company to include historical results of the acquired businesses described above and was then adjusted: (i) to increase amortization expense resulting from intangible assets acquired; (ii) to reduce interest expense from debt which was retained by the seller upon acquisition of the respective businesses and concurrently increase the Company's interest expense based upon the purchase price; and (iii) to increase depreciation expense for the incremental increase in the value of property and equipment acquired; (iv) to decrease expenses for management services which were provided by the preceding parent entity and to concurrently increase expenses for management services which are now provided by the Company; (v) to adjust earnings per share to reflect the common shares issued as part of the purchase consideration. The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information does not include adjustments to reflect the impact of other cost savings or synergies that may result from these acquisition.

The following table shows our pro forma results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 ( in thousands, except per share amounts ):

NOTE 4 – INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATES

In March 2016, the Company acquired a 58% interest in Athelite Holdings LLC ("Athelite"), a holding company with a 70% interest in Dallas Metro Surgery Center LLC ("Dallas Metro"), a company formed to provide management services to a Hospital Outpatient Department (HOPD). In April 2016, Athelite interest in Dallas Metro was reduced to 62% . The Athelite investment is accounted for as an equity method investment as the Company did not obtain the necessary level of control for the investment to be accounted for as a business combination. This is due to the fact that the Company does not have the ability to directly appoint a majority of the board members of Dallas Metro or independently make strategic operational decisions. The carrying value as of September 30, 2017 was $0.4 million . The investment is classified as other long-term assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTE 5 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CONCENTRATION

The Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect to these risks is presented throughout these consolidated financial statements.

Principal financial instruments

The principal financial instruments used by the Company, from which financial instrument risk arises, are as follows:

• Accounts receivable and other receivables

• Investments in associates

• Accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other current liabilities

• Other liabilities and notes payable

• Capital leases

• Lines of credit

• Debt

• Warrants

• Non-employee stock options

The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash, accounts receivable and other receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, other current liabilities and other liabilities as reflected in the consolidated financial statements approximate fair value due to their short term maturity. The estimated fair value of the Company's other long-term debt instruments approximate their carrying amounts as the interest rates approximate the Company's current borrowing rate for similar debt instruments of comparable maturity, or have variable interest rates.

Table of Contents

Financial instruments - risk management

The Company’s financial instrument risks include, but are not limited to the following:

• Credit risk

• Fair value risk

• Foreign exchange risk

• Other market price risk

• Liquidity risk

• Interest rate risk

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a patient, non-partner surgeon or insurance company fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company, in the normal course of business, is exposed mainly to credit risk on its accounts receivable from insurance companies, other third-party payors, and physicians. Accounts receivables are net of applicable bad debt reserves, which are established based on specific credit risk associated with insurance companies, payors and other relevant information.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due and arises from the Company’s management of working capital. The Company’s objective to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient cash to allow it to meet its liabilities when they become due. To achieve this objective, it seeks to maintain cash balances (or agreed credit facilities) to meet expected requirements. The liquidity risk of the Company and its subsidiaries is managed centrally by the Company’s finance function. The Company believes that there are currently no concerns of its ability to meet its liabilities as they become due for the foreseeable future.

The following tables set forth certain information with respect to the Company’s payor concentration. Patient and net professional fee revenues by payor are summarized below for the applicable periods:

NOTE 9 – DEBT

BBVA Credit Agreement

On October 28, 2016 the Company entered into a BBVA Credit Agreement by and among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company parties thereto, the lenders from time to time parties thereto (the “Lenders”) with BBVA Compass Bank as Administrative Agent for the lending group.

Table of Contents

The revolving credit facility is $30.0 million (the “Revolver”), which bears interest at the then applicable Interest Rate. The effective rate for the Revolver as of September 30, 2017 was 5.33% . The maturity date of the Revolver is October 28, 2021. Additionally, Borrower may request additional commitments from the Lenders in the maximum amount of $50 million , either by increasing the Revolver or creating new term loans. As of September 30, 2017 , the outstanding balances on the Term Loan and Revolver were $50.5 million and $18.0 million , respectively.

The BBVA Compass Credit Agreement contains two financial covenants that are tested beginning on December 31, 2016. The consolidated leverage ratio may not exceed (i) 2.75 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter from December 31, 2016 through and including September 30, 2018 (ii) 2.50 to 1.00 from December 31, 2018 through and including September 30, 2019 (iii) 2.25 to 1.00 from December 31, 2019 through and including September 30, 2020 and (iv) 2.00 to 1.00 from December 31, 2020 and thereafter, subject to covenant holidays upon the occurrence of certain conditions. The second financial covenant requires the loan parties to maintain a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 2.00 to 1.00.

The Loan Agreement also contains customary events of default, including, among others, the failure by the Borrower to make a payment of principal or interest due under the BBVA Credit Agreement, the making of a materially false or misleading representation or warranty by any loan party, the failure by the Borrower to perform or observe certain covenants in the BBVA Credit Agreement, a change of control, and the occurrence of certain cross-defaults, subject to customary notice and cure provisions. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, and so long as such event of default is continuing, the Administrative Agent could declare the amounts outstanding under the BBVA Credit Agreement due and payable.

The Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to BBVA Credit Agreement and Waiver, dated as of March 3, 2017, by and among NHA, certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto, Compass Bank, and other financial institutions (the "Amendment"). The purpose of the Amendment was to (i) modify the definition of “Permitted Acquisition” to require Lender approval and consent for any acquisition which is closing during the 2017 fiscal year; (ii) modify certain financial definitions and covenants, including, but not limited to, an increase to the maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio to 3.75 to 1.00 for the period beginning September 30, 2016 and ending September 30, 2017, and an increase to the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio to 1.15 to 1.00 for the period beginning September 30, 2016 and ending June 30, 2017; (iii) waive the Pro Forma Leverage Requirement in connection with the previously reported HVC; and (iv) provide each Lender’s consent to the HHVC acquisition.

Loan origination fees are deferred and the net amount is amortized over the contractual life of the related loans.

Convertible Promissory Note - AZ Vein

In conjunction with our purchase of AZ Vein, we entered into a $2.25 million convertible promissory note. The convertible promissory note bears interest at 5% per annum and matures on the date that is 36 months from closing. The convertible promissory note (outstanding principal but excluding accrued and unpaid interest) can be converted into common shares of NHC (the "Conversion Shares"), at the sole discretion of NHC and NHA, on the maturity date. The number of Conversion Shares will be based on a price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the conversion amount by the volume weighted average price of the common shares on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in the trailing ten trading days prior to the maturity date. There are no pre-payment penalties.

Convertible Promissory Note - HVC

In conjunction with our purchase of HVC, we entered into a $5.0 million convertible promissory note. The convertible promissory matures on March 8, 2019, bears interest at 5% per annum and is payable in two equal installments over a two -year period. The convertible promissory note (outstanding principal but excluding accrued and unpaid interest) can be converted into common shares of NHC (the "Conversion Shares"), at the sole discretion of NHC and NHA, on the maturity date. The number of Conversion Shares will be based on a price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the conversion amount by the volume weighted average price of the common shares on the NYSE in the trailing ten trading days prior to the maturity date. There are no pre-payment penalties.

NOTE 10 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis, including warrant and stock option derivative liabilities. There have been no transfers between fair value measurement levels during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 .

The following table summarizes our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2017 and the Company's fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 , aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall ( in thousands ):



	Fair Value Measurements Using
	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets and Liabilities (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total
December 31, 2016:
Warrant and stock option derivative liabilities	$	—	$	—	$	902	$	902

September 30, 2017:
Warrant and stock option derivative liabilities	$	—	$	—	$	458	$	458
Total	$	—	$	—	$	458	$	458

In certain cases, where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to valuation, securities are classified as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy. Level 3 liabilities that were measured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis consist of warrant and stock option derivative liabilities.

Table of Contents

The estimated fair values of the warrant and stock option derivative liabilities were measured using the Black-Scholes valuation model (refer to Note 12 - Warrants and options liabilities ). Due to the nature of valuation inputs, the valuation of the warrants is considered a Level 3 measurement.

The remaining outstanding warrants and stock options expired in May of 2017. The balance of the Company's warrant and stock option derivative liabilities is zero as of September 30, 2017.

NOTE 11 – SHARE BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Options

The Company granted a total of 280,000 and 895,000 stock options during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , respectively. Of the options granted during the three months ended September 30, 2017 , 175,000 of those vested immediately and 105,000 vest ratably over two and three -year periods. Of the options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , 425,000 of those vest immediately and 470,000 vest ratably over a three -year period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , 1,045,000 options were forfeited, with various vesting periods.

The following table summarizes stock option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 :

Refer to Note 12 - Warrants and options liabilities for discussion regarding the classification of these options within the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was nil and $1.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. There were no options exercised during 2017. Assuming all stock options outstanding at September 30, 2017 were vested, the total intrinsic value of in-the-money outstanding stock options would have been $0.1 million at September 30, 2017.

The Company recorded total stock compensation expense relative to employee stock options of $1.2 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, and $2.8 million and $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The fair values of the employee stock options used in recording compensation expense are computed using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The table below shows the assumptions used in the model for options awarded during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 .

Table of Contents



	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2017	2016

Expected price volatility	87% - 91%	114% - 117%
Risk free interest rate	1.78% - 2.14%	1.03% - 1.53%
Expected annual dividend yield	0%	0%

Hence, these warrants and options are classified as liabilities under the caption “Warrants and Options Derivative Liability” and recorded at estimated fair value at each reporting date, computed using the Black-Scholes valuation method. Changes in the liability from period to period are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations under the caption “Change in fair value of warrant and stock option derivative liabilities”.

The estimated fair values of warrants and options accounted for as liabilities were determined on the date of the private placements and at each balance sheet date following using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following inputs:



	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2017		2016

Risk free interest rate	0.62%		0.26% - 0.59%
Expected life in years	0.15		0.25 - 1.15
Expected volatility	63	%	76% - 112%
Expected dividend yield	0	%	0	%

The changes in fair value of the warrants and options (excluding non-employees) liability during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were as follows ( in thousands ):

Options Issued to Non-Employees

As discussed in Note 11 - Share based compensation , in 2014 the Company issued 650,000 options to professionals providing services to the organization. These professionals do not meet the definition of an employee under U.S. GAAP. At September 30, 2017 , there were 500,000 options outstanding all of which are exercisable to the remaining non-employee professional. During the third quarter, one of the two non-employee professionals became an employee of the Company. At this time, the Company revalued the associated 150,000 shares and reclassified $0.1 million out of the liability and into equity.

Under U.S. GAAP, the value of these option awards is determined at the performance completion date. The Company recognizes expense for the estimated total value of the awards during the period from their issuance until performance completion since the professional services are being rendered during this time. The total expense recognized is adjusted to the final value of the award as determined on the performance completion date.

The estimated values of the option awards are determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following inputs:



	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2017	2016

Risk free interest rate	1.55%	1.01% - 1.14%
Expected life in years	3	4 - 5
Expected volatility	84%	103% - 114%
Expected dividend yield	0%	0	%

For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded a recovery for non-employee stock options of a nominal amount and a nominal expense for non-employee stock options, respectively. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded a recovery for non-employee stock options of a nominal amount and an expense for non-employee stock options of $0.2 million , respectively. The changes in fair value of the liability related to vested yet un-exercised options issued to non-employees during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were as follows (in thousands) :



	Nine Months Ended September 30,

Change in fair value recorded in earnings	(332		)	163
Balance as of September 30, 2017 and 2016	$	458		$	1,537

Options issued to non-employees are reclassified from equity to liabilities on the performance completion date. Under U.S. GAAP, such options may not be considered indexed to our stock because they have exercise prices denominated in Canadian dollars. Hence, these will be classified as liabilities under the caption “Warrant and stock option liabilities” and recorded at estimated fair value at each reporting date, computed using the Black-Scholes valuation method. Changes in the liability from period to period will be recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations under the caption “Change in fair value of warrant and stock option liabilities”. At September 30, 2017 , there were 500,000 unexercised non-employee options requiring liability classification.

Certain of our consolidated subsidiaries that are less than wholly owned meet the definition of a Variable Interest Entity (VIE), and we hold voting interests in all such entities. We consolidate the activities of VIE’s for which we are the primary beneficiary. In order to determine whether we own a variable interest in a VIE, we perform qualitative analysis of the entity’s design, organizational structure, primary decision makers and relevant agreements. Such variable interests include our voting interests, and may also include other interests and rights, including those gained through management contracts.

Since our core business is the management and operation of health care facilities, our subsidiaries that are determined to be VIE’s represent entities that own, manage and operate such facilities. Voting interests in such entities are typically owned by us, by physicians practicing at these facilities (or entities controlled by them) and other parties associated with the operation of the facilities. In forming such entities, we typically seek to retain operational control and, as a result, in some cases, voting rights we hold are not proportionate to the economic share of our ownership in these entities, which causes them to meet the VIE definition. We consolidate such VIE’s if we determine that we are the primary beneficiary because (i) we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE via our rights and obligations associated with the management and operation of the VIE’s health care facilities, and (ii) as a result of our obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive residual returns that could potentially be significant to the VIE, which we have through our equity interests.

The following table summarizes the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities of our material VIE’s included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets (after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances) ( in thousands ):

NOTE 15 – INCOME TAXES

The Company is a corporation subject to federal income tax at a statutory rate of 35% of pretax earnings. The Company estimates an annual effective income tax rate of 39.6% for U.S. and none for Canada based on the projected results for the year and applies this rate to income before taxes to calculate income tax expense.

Table of Contents

The net tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $0.6 million , resulting in an effective tax rate of approximately 37.5% , compared to an income tax benefit of $1.8 million with an effective tax rate of approximately 21.1% for the prior corresponding period. The net tax expense amount includes $0.8 million and $0.9 million tax expense for states in which the Company operates for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company did not recognize any foreign tax expense or benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, as the Company had a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.

The following items caused the third quarter effective income tax rate to be different from the statutory rate:


•	Canada is excluded from the worldwide annual effective tax rate calculation because Canada has historical ordinary losses but does not expect to recognize them and has recorded a full valuation allowance, which decreases the third quarter effective tax rate by approximately 2.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.


•	All of the Partnership’s earnings are included in the Company’s net income; however, the Company is not required to record income tax expense or benefit with respect to the portion of the Partnership’s earnings allocated to its noncontrolling public limited partners, which increases the first quarter effective tax rate by approximately 1.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

The Company received notification from the Internal Revenue Service to examine the 2014 federal income tax return for First Nobilis, LLC that the Company owns 51% .

Based on management’s analysis, the Company did not have any uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2017.

Litigation

In the normal course of our business, we are subject to legal proceedings brought by or against us and our subsidiaries, including claims for damages for personal injuries, medical malpractice, breach of contracts, and employment related claims. In certain of these actions, plaintiffs request payment for damages, including punitive damages that may not be covered by insurance. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to these actions will not materially impact the financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.

A statement of claim (complaint), Vince Capelli v. Nobilis Health Corp. et. al, was filed on January 8, 2016 in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice under court file number CV-16-544173 naming Nobilis Health Corp., certain current and former officers and the Company’s former auditors as defendants. The statement of claim seeks to advance claims on behalf of the plaintiff and on behalf of a class comprised of certain of our shareholders related to, among other things, alleged certain violations of the Ontario Securities Act and seeks damages in the amount of $100 million plus interest. The defendants intend to vigorously defend against these claims. At this time, the Company believes it is too early to provide a realistic estimate of the Company’s exposure.

Table of Contents

Executive Overview

Our operations consist of two reportable business segments, the Medical Segment and the Marketing Segment, each of which is described in more detail in the following paragraphs. Our Medical Segment owns and manages specialty surgical hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) and multi-specialty clinics. It focuses on improving patient outcomes by providing minimally invasive procedures that can be performed in low-cost, outpatient settings. To promote further improvements in patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes, Nobilis has spent the last two years developing a full suite of ancillary services that we offer patients treated in our facilities. To date, Nobilis is able to provide a variety of in-house ancillary services, such as Anesthesia, Surgical Assist, Intraoperative Neuromonitoring ("IOM"), and clinical lab testing (collectively, "Nobilis Ancillary Service Lines").

Our business also utilizes innovative direct-to-consumer marketing and proprietary technologies to drive patient engagement and education. Our Marketing Segment provides these services to the facilities that comprise our Medical Segment; we also provide these services to third parties as a stand-alone service.

Our portfolio of specialty surgical hospitals, ASCs and multi-specialty clinics is complemented by our Marketing Segment, which allows us to operate those facilities in many instances with few, if any, physician partners. Our differentiated business strategy provides value to patients, physicians and payors, and enables us to capitalize on recent trends in the healthcare industry, particularly with regard to increased consumerism in the healthcare space. As a result, we believe we are positioned for continued growth.

In 2017 we will continue to expand the continuum of care that we offer our patients by vertically integrating primary care physician practices into our business model. Through the alignment of primary care physicians, which includes an array of options from clinical integration to employment, this initiative will allow us to grow our referral based business, while providing direct exposure to the initial level of patient care and diversifying the services provided throughout our healthcare system. It also affords us the opportunity to broaden marketing services throughout the continuum of care and match the healthcare needs of patients, all while maintaining a focus on patient outcomes and satisfaction. Our engagement of primary care physicians at the clinical level will drive contracted revenues and create an entirely new stream of business and revenue, and more importantly, will continue Management’s ongoing efforts to strengthen our revenue platform.

Our pipeline of acquisition targets is robust and varies by geography. We will be opportunistic in choosing the order of these acquisitions and will make our decisions based on geographic location, existing and potential physician relationship and marketing opportunities within the targeted market.

On October 28, 2016 and March 8, 2017, we purchased Arizona Vein and Vascular Center, LLC and its four affiliated surgery centers operating as Arizona Center for Minimally Invasive Surgery, LLC, (collectively, "AZ Vein") and Hamilton Vein Center (HVC) brand and associated assets, respectively. The acquisitions expanded our specialty mix to include the treatment of venous diseases with little modification to our existing infrastructure of specialty surgical hospitals and ASCs. Our facilities will be able to offer a range of treatments, both surgical and non-surgical, for those patients suffering from venous diseases, which today affect more than 30 million Americans.

In addition to our vein and vascular business acquisitions, on September 13, 2017, we purchased DeRosa Medical, P.C. ("DeRosa") for $0.9 million in cash. DeRosa is a primary care practice that specializes in health and wellness, medically supervised weight loss, and chronic health condition management. The practice has three locations in the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area: Scottsdale, Chandler, and Glendale. The acquisition of DeRosa allows the Company to enhance our ability to serve patients across the continuum of care, from primary care needs to surgical procedures, utilizing its concierge care delivery model and DeRosa also complements the existing facilities located in Arizona.

Our growth strategy focuses on:

• Driving organic growth in facilities that we own and operate; and

• Executing a disciplined acquisition strategy that results in accretive acquisitions.

Medical Segment

Our Medical Segment broadly includes our ownership or operation of healthcare facilities (the “Nobilis Facilities”) (which include specialty surgical hospitals, ASCs and multi-specialty clinics) and Nobilis Ancillary Service Lines.

As of September 30, 2017 , there are 27 Nobilis Facilities, consisting of 4 specialty surgical hospitals (3 in Texas and 1 in Arizona) (the "Nobilis Hospitals"), 10 ASCs (5 in Texas and 5 in Arizona) and 13 multi-specialty clinics (6 in Texas and 7 in Arizona), partnered with 35 facilities across the country and 9 marketed brands. We earn revenue in our Medical Segment from the “facility fees” or “technical fees” from third party payors or patients for the services rendered at the Nobilis Facilities. The Nobilis Facilities are each licensed in the state where they are located and provide surgical procedures in a limited number of clinical specialties, which enables them to develop routines, procedures and protocols to maximize operating efficiency and productivity while offering an enhanced healthcare experience for both physicians and patients.

Table of Contents

These clinical specialties include musculoskeletal surgery, orthopedic surgery, podiatric surgery, vein and vascular, ear nose and throat (ENT) surgery, pain management, gastro-intestinal surgery, gynecology and general surgery. The Nobilis ASCs do not offer the full range of services typically found in traditional hospitals.

Marketing Segment

Our Marketing Segment provides marketing services, patient education services and patient care coordination management services to the Nobilis Facilities, to third party facilities in states where we currently do not operate, and to physicians. We market several minimally-invasive medical procedures and brands, which include the following:


•	North American Spine: promotion of minimally invasive spine procedures (pain management, musculoskeletal and spine);


•	Migraine Treatment Centers of America: promotion of procedures related to chronic migraine pain (interventional headache procedure);


•	NueStep: promotion of surgical procedures designed to treat pain in the foot, ankle and leg (podiatry);


•	Evolve: The Experts in Weight Loss Surgery: promotion of surgical weight loss procedures (bariatrics);


•	Minimally Invasive Reproductive Surgery Institute (“MIRI”): promotion of women’s health related procedures;


•	Onward Orthopedics: promotion of general orthopedics, sports medicine related to orthopedics (orthopedics and pain management interventions);


•	Clarity Vein and Vascular: promotion of cosmetic and medical vein and vascular treatments; and


•	Arizona Vein and Vascular Center: promotion of cosmetic and medical vein and vascular treatments.


•	Hamilton Vein Center: promotion of cosmetic and medical vein and vascular treatments.

Our Marketing Segment does not directly provide medical services to patients; rather, we identify candidates for our branded procedures, educate these potential patients about the relevant procedure and direct those patients to affiliated physicians who diagnose and treat those patients at affiliated facilities. Through our Marketing Segment, we have contractual relationships with facilities and physicians in several states.

We earn service fees from our partner facilities that, depending on the laws of the state in which a partner facility is located, are either charged as a flat monthly fee or are calculated based on a portion of the “facility fee” revenue generated by the partner facility for a given procedure.

Our revenues from physician-related services are, depending on the laws of the state in which a partner-physician practices, either earned directly from professional fees or through the purchase of accounts receivable. In Texas, we engage physicians through entities exempt from Texas corporate practice of medicine laws that directly earn professional fees for partner-physician services and, in turn, pay partner-physicians a reasonable fee for rendering those professional services. In other states, we manage our partner-physicians’ practices and purchase the accounts receivable at a discount of those practices through accounts receivable purchase agreements, consistent with the laws in those states. The revenues generated from certain accounts receivables purchased from third parties in the ordinary course of business represents our factoring revenues.

Seasonality of the Business

The surgical segment of the healthcare industry tends to be impacted by seasonality because most benefit plans reset on a calendar year basis. As patients utilize and reduce their remaining deductible, Nobilis Facilities typically experience an increase in volume throughout the year, with the biggest impact coming in the fourth quarter. Historically, approximately 35% - 40% of our annual revenues have been recognized in the fourth quarter.

Operating Environment

The Medical Segment depends primarily upon third-party reimbursement from private insurers to pay for substantially all of the services rendered to our patients. The majority of the revenues attributable to the Medical Segment are from reimbursement to the Nobilis Hospitals and Nobilis ASCs as “out-of-network” providers. This means the Nobilis Facilities are not contracted with a major medical insurer as an “in-network” participant. Participation in such networks offer the benefit of larger patient populations and defined, predictable payment rates. The reimbursement to in-network providers, however, is typically far less than that paid to out of network providers. To a far lesser degree, the Nobilis Facilities earn fees from governmental payor programs such as Medicare. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we derived approximately 2.1% and 0.2% for the respective periods of our Medical Segment’s net revenues from governmental healthcare programs, primarily Medicare and managed Medicare programs, and the remainder from a wide mix of commercial payers and patient co-pays, coinsurance, and deductibles.

We receive a relatively small amount of revenue from Medicare. We also receive a relatively small portion of revenue directly from uninsured patients, who pay out of pocket for the services they receive.

Table of Contents

Insured patients are responsible for services not covered by their health insurance plans, deductibles, co-payments and co-insurance obligations under their plans. The amount of these deductibles, co-payments and co-insurance obligations has increased in recent years but does not represent a material component of the revenue generated by the Nobilis Facilities. The surgical center fees of the Nobilis Facilities are generated by the physician limited partners and the other physicians who utilize the Nobilis Facilities to provide services.

Revenue Model and Case Mix

Revenues earned by the Nobilis Facilities vary depending on the procedures performed. For every medical procedure performed there are usually three separately invoiced patient billings:


•	the surgical center fee for the use of infrastructure, surgical equipment, nursing staff, non-surgical professional services, supplies and other support services, which is earned by the Nobilis Facilities;


•	the professional fee, which is separately earned, billed and collected by the physician performing the procedure, separate and apart from the fees charged by the Nobilis Facilities; and


•	the anesthesiology fee, which is separately earned, billed and collected by the anesthesia provider, separate and apart from the fees charged by the Nobilis Facilities and the physicians.

Overall facility revenue depends on procedure volume, case mix and payment rates of the respective payors.

Revenues

Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2017 , totaled $64.7 million , a decrease of $6.0 million or 8.5% , compared to $70.7 million in the prior corresponding period. Total cases decreased by 1,214 to 3,883 cases, or 23.8% , compared to 5,097 cases in the prior corresponding period. Medical Segment revenues decreased by $6.1 million to $59.3 million or 9.4% , compared to $65.4 million in the prior corresponding period, while the Marketing Segment partially offset this decrease by $0.1 million.

Salaries and Benefits

Operating salaries and benefits for the three months ended September 30, 2017 , totaled $15.7 million , an increase of $2.5 million or 19.1% , compared to $13.2 million in the prior corresponding period. The Medical Segment increased by $2.9 million or 27.3% , while the Marketing Segment decreased $0.4 million or 13.7% , from the prior corresponding period.

Drugs and Supplies

Drugs and supplies expense in our Medical Segment for the three months ended September 30, 2017 , totaled $10.4 million , a decrease of $5.1 million or 32.9% , compared to $15.5 million in the prior corresponding period.

General and Administrative

Operating general and administrative expense for three months ended September 30, 2017 , totaled $27.6 million , a decrease of $5.6 million or 16.9% , compared to $33.2 million in the prior corresponding period. The Medical Segment accounted for $7.8 million or 22.7% of the decrease , offset by an increase of $2.2 million in the Marketing Segment.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation for the three months ended September 30, 2017 , totaled $2.7 million , an increase of $0.7 million or 38.4% , compared to $2.0 million in the prior corresponding period. This increase is primarily due to the additional depreciation expense incurred related to acquired equipment and intangible assets through acquisitions of AZ Vein, HVC and DeRosa within our Medical Segment, as well as accelerated leasehold improvement depreciation related to our Marketing Segment, as a result of moving office locations.

Total Corporate Costs

To illustrate our operational efficiency, corporate costs are presented separate of operating expenses of the revenue generating facilities. Corporate costs totaled $7.0 million , a decrease of $1.0 million or 12.5% , compared to $8.0 million in the prior corresponding period.

Salaries and benefits for the three months ended September 30, 2017 , totaled 3.0 million , an increase of $1.2 million or 67.5% , compared to $1.8 million in the prior corresponding period. The $1.2 million increase is primarily due to the hiring of additional corporate staff in 2017 and later half of 2016 related to accounting, finance, information technology and new corporate employees acquired through our acquisitions of AZ Vein, HVC and DeRosa. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 , totaled $3.3 million , a decrease of $1.3 million or 28.9% , compared to $4.6 million in the prior corresponding period. The decrease in general and administrative expense was primarily attributable to a decline in share based compensation expenses related to forfeitures of previously issued options and a reduction in insurance costs. Legal expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 , totaled $0.7 million , a decrease of $0.9 million or 56.5% , compared to $1.5 million from the prior corresponding period. The decrease in legal expenses was attributable to reduced litigation.

Other Expense (Income)

For the three months ended September 30, 2017 , the Company recognized $1.4 million of other expense compared to $0.7 million in the prior corresponding period. Interest expense increased $0.6 million in the current period as a result of an increase in borrowings and amortization of debt issuance costs. In addition to interest, there was an increase of $0.4 million in various other expenses, offset by a change in warrant and stock option derivative liability of $0.3 million .

The warrants and options have exercise prices denominated in Canadian dollars and as such may not be considered indexed to our stock which is valued in U.S. dollars and therefore recorded as derivative liabilities. Change in fair value of warrant and stock option derivative liabilities are a result of adjusting the estimated fair value at the end of the period, using the Black-Scholes Model. All of the warrants previously issued expired in first half of 2017.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit), Net

The net tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $0.1 million, compared to an income tax expense of $0.5 million in the prior corresponding period. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 , the effective tax rate differs from the annual tax rate primarily due to Canada's pre-tax book income (PTBI) which increases the rate by approximately 60.4%. The Company’s state tax expense was $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 . Our effective tax rate during the three months ended September 30, 2017 was approximately 99.9%. The Company estimates an annual effective income tax rate of 39.6% for U.S., and none for Canada, based on projected results for the year.

Notes

(1) This table refers to all cases performed, regardless of their contribution to revenue.

(2) Calculated by dividing revenues by the number of cases.

Revenues

Revenues for the Medical Segment decreased by $6.1 million to $59.3 million or 9.4% , compared to $65.4 million in the prior corresponding period. Revenues decreased due to a reduction in case count of 1,281 cases, primarily due to Hurricane Harvey and the Company's need to suspend operations at ten Nobilis Facilities in Southeast Texas for up to three weeks. In addition, our Dallas Market case count decreased due to a discontinued marketing relationship.

Salaries and Benefits

Salaries and benefits for the Medical Segment increased by $2.9 million to $13.4 million or 27.3% , compared to $10.5 million in the prior corresponding period. Operating salaries and benefits increased primarily due to additional headcount related to new employees acquired during the AZ Vein, HVC and DeRosa acquisitions.

Drugs and Supplies

Drugs and supplies expense for the Medical Segment decreased by $5.1 million to $9.8 million or 34.1% , compared to $14.9 million in the prior corresponding period. Drugs and supplies decreased compared to the prior corresponding period primarily due to lower case counts, a majority of which was caused by Hurricane Harvey, and additional decreases from management's across the board focus on cost reduction.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expense for the Medical Segment decreased by $7.8 million to $26.5 million or 22.7% , compared to $34.3 million in the prior corresponding period. The decrease is primarily due to lower case counts and the related general and administrative cost associated with the reduction in cases. This decrease is also consistent with revenue decreases discussed above.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017 , marketing expenses allocated to the Medical Segment decreased by $4.4 million to $9.1 million , compared to $13.5 million in the prior corresponding period. These marketing cost are allocated from our Marketing Segment for cases performed at Nobilis Facilities. Our number of cases in the third quarter decreased, resulting in smaller allocations of marketing expense from our Marketing Segment to our Medical Segment. As a result, there was a decrease in general and administrative costs within our Marketing Segment, discussed later herein. Our Medical Segment experienced a decrease in case due to Hurricane Harvey, therefore, these marketing costs were not allocated.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , totaled $7.8 million , an increase of $1.3 million or 20.9% , compared to $6.5 million in the prior corresponding period. This increase is primarily due to the additional depreciation expense incurred related to acquired equipment and intangible assets through acquisitions of AZ Vein, HVC and DeRosa within our Medical Segment, as well as accelerated leasehold improvement depreciation related to our Marketing Segment, as a result of moving office locations.

Total Corporate Costs

To illustrate our operational efficiency, corporate costs are presented separate of operating expenses of the revenue generating facilities. Corporate costs totaled $21.0 million , a decrease of $3.4 million or 13.7% , compared to $24.4 million in the prior corresponding period.

Salaries and benefits for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , totaled $9.0 million , an increase of $3.9 million or 77.5% , compared to $5.1 million in the prior corresponding period. The $3.9 million increase is primarily due to the hiring of additional corporate staff in 2017 and later half of 2016 related to accounting, finance, information technology and new corporate employees through our acquisitions of AZ Vein, HVC and DeRosa.

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , totaled $10.1 million , a decrease of $4.9 million or 32.6% , compared to $15.0 million in the prior corresponding period.

Legal expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , totaled $1.6 million , a decrease of $2.5 million or 60.0% , compared to $4.1 million in the prior corresponding period. The decrease in legal expenses was attributable to reduced litigation. Overall, corporate general and administrative expense reductions are primarily the result of the Company's continuous efforts to cut costs.

Other Expense (Income)

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , the Company recognized $3.9 million of other expense compared to $2.5 million of other income in the prior corresponding period. Interest expense increased $1.9 million to $4.0 million as a result of an average increase in borrowings and amortization of debt issuance costs. The increase in interest expense is offset by a change in warrant and stock option derivative liability of $1.2 million .

Lastly, in the prior year we provided Dallas Metro with cases that were derived from our Marketing Segment. After the closure, we began scheduling "would be" Dallas Metro cases to our Nobilis Facilities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the decrease in case count resulted in a $3.2 million decrease in other income in the current period. This is further discussed below in our segment analysis. Dallas Metro is an equity method investment to the company.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit), Net

The net tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $0.6 million, compared to an income tax benefit of $1.7 million in the prior corresponding period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , the effective tax rate differs from the annual tax rate primarily due to state income taxes, Canada's PTBI and noncontrolling interests. The Company’s state tax expense was $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 . Our effective tax rate during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was approximately 37.5%. The Company estimates an annual effective income tax rate of 39.6% for U.S., and none for Canada, based on projected results for the year.

Noncontrolling Interests

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests are based on ownership percentages in the Nobilis Facilities that are owned by third parties.

Notes

(1) This table refers to all cases performed, regardless of their contribution to revenue.

(2) Calculated by dividing revenues by the number of cases.

Revenues

Revenues for the Medical Segment increased by $34.3 million to $201.2 million or 20.5% , compared to $166.9 million in the prior corresponding period. Revenues increased primarily due to the acquisition of AZ Vein, HVC, DeRosa and also Scottsdale Liberty hospital obtained a surgical license and performed higher acuity cases receiving larger reimbursements in the current period and a $19.7 million increase in ancillary services. Furthermore, the Company shifts higher acuity cases from the Marketing Segment to the Medical Segment, by way of scheduling cases at Nobilis Facilities, further explained below in the Marketing Segment analysis. The increase in Medical Segment revenues was partially offset by Hurricane Harvey and the Company's need to suspend operations at ten Nobilis Facilities in Southeast Texas for up to three weeks.

Salaries and Benefits

Salaries and benefits for the Medical Segment increased by $8.3 million to $39.4 million or 26.7% , compared to $31.1 million in the prior corresponding period. Operating salaries and benefits increased primarily due to additional headcount related to organic growth of our ancillary services and new employees acquired during the AZ Vein, HVC and DeRosa acquisitions.

Drugs and Supplies

Drugs and supplies expense for the Medical Segment decreased by $4.3 million to $33.7 million or 11.4% , compared to $38.0 million in the prior corresponding period. Drugs and supplies decreased compared to the prior corresponding period primarily due to lower case count in the current period, a majority of which was caused by Hurricane Harvey.

General and administrative expense for the Medical Segment increased by $10.7 million to $94.8 million or 12.7% , compared to $84.1 million in the prior corresponding period. The increase in the Medical Segment general and administrative expense is primarily due to the acquisition of AZ Vein, HVC and DeRosa, three additional labs and related management expenses, marketing expenses and operations associated with Nobilis Facilities and its mission to continue our strategic growth initiatives and the marketing of our specialty services to hospitals.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , marketing expenses allocated to the Medical Segment decreased by $0.8 million to $28.3 million , compared to $29.1 million in the prior corresponding period. These marketing costs are allocated from our Marketing Segment for cases performed at Nobilis Facilities. As a result, there was a decrease in general and administrative costs within our Marketing Segment, discussed later herein. Our number of cases decreased year over year, resulting in smaller allocations of marketing expense from our Marketing Segment to our Medical Segment. In addition, the Marketing Segment’s external market performance has improved and now provides additional opportunities to maximize reimbursement on surgical cases. This has resulted in a decrease in the amount of marketing cases allocated to the Medical Segment, which contributes to the decrease in expenses allocated to the Medical Segment.

Notes

(1) This table refers to all cases performed, regardless of their contribution to revenue.

(2) Calculated by dividing revenues by the number of cases.

Revenues

Revenues for the Marketing Segment decreased by $5.2 million to $11.7 million or 30.7% , compared to $16.9 million in the prior corresponding period. This decrease in the revenues within the Marketing Segment is primarily related to lower case count with outside facilities.

Salaries and Benefits

Salaries and benefits for the Marketing Segment decreased by $0.2 million to $7.1 million or 2.5%, compared to $7.3 million in the prior corresponding period. The decrease is primarily related to a reduction in headcount during the second quarter of 2017.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expense for the Marketing Segment was $2.0 million and is consistent with the prior corresponding period. Marketing costs are allocated to our Medical Segment for cases performed at Nobilis Facilities.

Balance Sheet

The Company experienced material variances in certain balance sheet accounts as discussed herein.

Trade Accounts Receivable, Net

Trade accounts receivable, net, as of September 30, 2017 , totaled $112.4 million , a decrease of $12.6 million or 10.1% , compared to $125.0 million for the year-ended December 31, 2016. The decrease is consistent with the seasonality of the healthcare industry. As previously mentioned herein, 35-40% of our revenues are earned in the fourth quarter, resulting in higher balances in accounts receivable at year end.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We are dependent upon cash generated from our operations, which is the major source of financing for our operations and for meeting our contractual obligations. We currently believe we have adequate liquidity to fund operations during the near term through the generation of operating cash flows, cash on hand and access to our senior secured revolving credit facility provided under the loan agreement. Our ability to borrow funds under this loan agreement is subject to, among other things, the financial viability of the participating financial institutions. While we do not anticipate any of our current lenders defaulting on their obligations, we are unable to provide assurance that any particular lender will not default at a future date.

Cash at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $34.1 million and $24.6 million , respectively.

As of September 30, 2017 , net cash provided by operating activities increased by $19.6 million from the prior year attributable to an increase in collections and net income performance in the current period. Net cash used for investing activities decreased $9.9 million from the prior year attributable to the closing of the HVC transaction on March 8, 2017 and the DeRosa transaction on September 13, 2017. Net cash used for financing activities decreased by $4.1 million from the prior year primarily due to a decrease in distributions to noncontrolling interest.

As of September 30, 2017 , the Company had consolidated net working capital of $89.9 million compared to $98.0 million as of December 31, 2016. The decrease is primarily due to an increase in accrued lab expenses while current assets remained unchanged.

The principal amount of the term loan (the “Term Loan”) pursuant to the BBVA Credit Agreement is $52.5 million, which bears interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate of the then applicable LIBOR, plus an applicable margin ranging from 3.0% to 3.75% (depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio), with an option for the interest rate to be set at the then applicable Base Rate (the “Interest Rate”).

The Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to BBVA Credit Agreement and Waiver, dated as of March 3, 2017, by and among NHA, certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto, Compass Bank, and other financial institutions (the "Amendment"). The purpose of the Amendment was to, among other things, (i) modify the definition of “Permitted Acquisition” to require Lender approval and consent for any acquisition which is closing during the 2017 fiscal year; (ii) modify certain financial definitions and covenants, including, but not limited to, an increase to the maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio to 3.75 to 1.00 for the period beginning September 30, 2016 and ending September 30, 2017, and an increase to the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio to 1.15 to 1.00 for the period beginning September 30, 2016 and ending June 30, 2017; (iii) waive the Pro Forma Leverage Requirement in connection with the previously reported HVC acquisition; and (iv) provide each Lender’s consent to the HVC. The Amendment also contained a limited waiver of a specified event of default. As of September 30, 2017 the Company was in compliance with its covenants.

Loan origination fees are deferred and the net amount is amortized over the contractual life of the related loans.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our critical accounting policies are further described 2016 Annual Report. There have been no changes in the nature of our critical accounting policies or the application of those policies since December 31, 2016.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources other than operating leases disclosed in Note 13 included in Part II, Item 8 —"Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in our 2016 Annual Report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are subject to market risk primarily from exposure to changes in interest rates based on our financing activities. Our term loans and revolving credit lines carry terms with both fixed rate and variable rate debt to manage our exposures to changes in interest rates. Our variable debt instruments are primarily indexed to the prime rate or LIBOR. Interest rate changes would result in gains or losses in the market value of our fixed rate debt portfolio due to differences in market interest rates and the rates at the inception of the debt agreements. Based upon our indebtedness at September 30, 2017 , a 100 basis point interest rate change would impact our net earnings and cash flow by approximately $0.8 million annually. Although there can be no assurances that interest rates will not change significantly, we do not expect changes in interest rates to have a material effect on our net earnings or cash flows in 2017.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), the principal executive officer, and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), the principal financial officer, the Company's management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective during the nine-months ended September 30, 2017 .

Management's assessment of the Company's internal control over financial reporting excluded the internal control over financial reporting of AZ Vein, HVC and DeRosa which closed on October 28, 2016, March 8, 2017 and September 14, 2017, respectively.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s third quarter of 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
