2008-07-15 16:18:00
HOUSTON–(EMWNews)–Dynacq Healthcare, Inc. (DYII) today reported financial results for the
third fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2008. For the fiscal quarter ended
May 31, 2008, the Company had income from continuing operations of $1.2
million, or $0.07 per share, compared to $2.9 million, or $0.18 per
share, in the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2007. All per share amounts
are calculated on a fully diluted basis. The decline in income from
continuing operation of $1.7 million, or 58%, was primarily due to a
change in the Company’s revenue recognition
method to recognize the lower reimbursement amounts payable for workers’
compensation cases as a result of the Texas Workers’
Compensation (TWCC) Fee Guidelines effective March 1, 2008. The Company’s
revenue recognition method for the corresponding third fiscal quarter of
prior year ended May 31, 2007 was based on the trailing twelve months
average collection ratio.
Results of Operations
Net patient service revenues for the quarter increased by $1.6 million,
or 13%, from $12.6 million in 2007 to $14.2 million in 2008. The
increase in revenues is primarily due to an increase in inpatient cases
and additional revenues of $1.3 million recognized based on settlements
reached with insurance carriers for Medical Dispute Resolution (MDR)
accounts receivable with dates of service ranging from 2001 to 2005,
offset by the reduction in net revenue recognized on workers’
compensation cases based on the new TWCC Fee Guidelines effective March
1, 2008.
Net income for the quarter ended May 31, 2008 was $1 million, or $0.06
per share, versus $2.6 million, or $0.17 per share, in the quarter ended
May 31, 2007.
Net patient service revenues for the nine months ended May 31, 2008
increased by $17.3 million, or 54%, from $31.8 million in 2007 to $49.1
million in 2008. The increase in revenues includes additional revenues
of $5.8 million on closed MDR accounts receivable, offset by the
reduction in net revenue recognized on workers’
compensation cases based on the new TWCC Fee Guidelines effective March
1, 2008. Income from continuing operations for the nine months ended May
31, 2008 was $8.3 million, or $0.50 per share, versus $2.2 million, or
$0.14 per share, in the same period in 2007.
Net income was $10.8 million, or $0.65 per share, for the nine months
ended May 31, 2008 versus $573,000, or $0.04 per share, for the same
period in 2007.
