Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Earnings to Be
Announced Post-Market February 27, 2018
Extends Director Nomination Deadline to
March 16, 2018
Envision Healthcare Corporation (NYSE: EVHC) today provided
preliminary fourth quarter results, announced the date for the
release of its financial results for the fourth quarter and full
year 2017 and extended the director nomination deadline.
Preliminary Fourth Quarter Results
For the three months ended December 31, 2017, Envision expects
to report net revenue from continuing operations of approximately
$2.0 billion and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations that
will be at, or slightly above, the high end of its guidance range
of $182 million to $202 million. That guidance range was provided
on October 31, 2017, and most recently affirmed January 4,
2018.
“We are pleased with our team’s ability to operate and deliver
results at the high end of our expectations,” said Christopher A.
Holden, President and Chief Executive Officer of Envision. “We
remain focused on executing our strategic plan and taking actions
to drive sustained operational excellence across our organization.
We look forward to providing a more comprehensive update on our
progress and outlook for 2018 when we report complete financial
results later this month.”
Envision’s estimates for the fourth quarter of 2017 are based on
management’s unaudited preliminary financial analysis and are
subject to finalizing Envision’s year-end accounting and audit
procedures. The Company is not providing a reconciliation of its
previously issued Adjusted EBITDA guidance range to the comparable
GAAP measure for the three months ended December 31, 2017, as
the exact amount of individual adjustments for certain reconciling
items are not currently determinable, including variability and
timing associated with acquisitions, disposals, deconsolidations
and impairment charges. These amounts may be significant and may
vary significantly from period to period. See “Non-GAAP Financial
Measures” below for a definition of Adjusted EBITDA.
Earnings Release and Investor Conference Call Dates
Envision will release its financial results for the three months
and 12 months ended December 31, 2017, and expects to provide 2018
financial guidance, on Tuesday, February 27, 2018, after the
securities markets close.
The Company will also host an investor conference call on
Wednesday, February 28, 2018, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time. The live
broadcast of Envision’s quarterly conference call will be available
on-line by going to www.evhc.net and clicking on the link to
Investors. The on-line replay will follow shortly after the call
and will be available for 30 days.
Extension of Director Nomination Deadline
Envision also announced that its Board of Directors has amended
its bylaws to extend the deadline for stockholders to nominate
candidates for election to the Board at its 2018 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders to March 16, 2018. The original nomination deadline
was February 24, 2018. The date and location of the 2018 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders has yet to be announced.
On October 31, 2017, Envision announced that its Board, in
consultation with management and financial and legal advisors, had
initiated a full review of a broad range of strategic alternatives
to enhance stockholder value. The Board is fully committed to
conducting a comprehensive review, and the review is ongoing. There
can be no assurance that this review will result in a transaction
or other alternative of any kind, and the Board has not set a
timetable for completion of its review. The Company does not intend
to provide updates on its review until it deems further disclosure
is appropriate or required.
