Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. (the “Company”) develops and operates inpatient psychiatric facilities, residential treatment centers, group homes, substance abuse facilities and facilities providing outpatient behavioral healthcare services to serve the behavioral health and recovery needs of communities throughout the United States (“U.S.”), the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) and Puerto Rico. At June 30, 2020, the Company operated 589 behavioral healthcare facilities with approximately 18,200 beds in 40 states, the U.K. and Puerto Rico.
During 2019, the Company commenced a review of strategic alternatives including those related to its U.K. operations and a potential sale of such operations. In January 2020, the Company launched a formal process regarding the sale of its U.K. business. Consistent with market practice for U.K. transactions of this nature, and in conjunction with its advisors, the Company solicited and received initial, non-binding offers to acquire its U.K. business from multiple bidders. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company began the second phase of the sale process, during which interested bidders would receive proposed transaction documents and complete their confirmatory due diligence. However, given evolving market dynamics related to the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, the Company suspended the sale process in mid-March 2020. While the interest from potential buyers has been strong, the sale process remains temporarily suspended.
Basis of Presentation
The business of the Company is conducted through limited liability companies, partnerships and C-corporations. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all subsidiaries controlled by the Company through its direct or indirect ownership of majority interests and exclusive rights granted to the Company as the controlling member of an entity. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations have been included. The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31 and interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any other interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2019 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. The information contained in these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 28, 2020. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
During March 2020, the global pandemic of COVID-19 began to affect the Company’s facilities, employees, patients, communities, business operations and financial performance, as well as the broader U.S. and U.K. economies and financial markets. At a limited number of facilities, employees and/or patients have tested positive for COVID-19. The Company is committed to protecting the health of our communities and has been responding to the evolving COVID-19 situation while taking steps to provide quality care and protect the health and safety of patients and employees. All of the Company’s facilities are closely following infectious disease protocols, as well as recommendations by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”), the National Health Service (“NHS”) and local health officials. The Company has established an internal COVID-19 taskforce, taken steps to secure its supply chain, expanded telehealth capabilities and implemented emergency planning in directly impacted markets. Nevertheless, COVID-19 is adversely impacting the Company’s business and will likely have an impact on its financial results that the Company is not currently able to quantify. Continuing disruptions to the Company’s business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and ability to service its indebtedness and may affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements including those related to collectability of accounts receivable as well as professional and general liability reserves, tax assets and liabilities and may result in a potential impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years to conform to the current year presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2020, the SEC adopted final rules that amend Rule 3-10 and Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X to reduce and simplify the financial disclosure requirements applicable to guarantors and issuers of guaranteed securities, as well as for affiliates whose securities collateralize a registrant’s securities. The new rules are effective January 4, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted the new rules during the three months ended June 30, 2020.
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for or recognizing the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting and applies only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Entities may adopt ASU 2020-04 as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020 or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Management is evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-04 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract” (“ASU 2018-15”). ASU 2018-15 requires a customer in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract to follow the internal-use software guidance in ASC 350-402 to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as assets. ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2018-15 on January 1, 2020. There is no significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a new methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020. There is no significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
3.
The CARES Act
As part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), the U.S. government announced it would offer $100 billion of relief to eligible healthcare providers. On April 24, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act (the “New PPP Act”). Among other things, the New PPP Act allocates $75 billion to eligible healthcare providers to help offset COVID-19 related losses and expenses. The $75 billion allocated under the New PPP Act is in addition to the $100 billion allocated to healthcare providers for the same purposes in the CARES Act and has been disbursed to providers under terms and conditions similar to the CARES Act funds. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company participated in certain relief programs offered through the CARES Act, including receipt of approximately $20 million relating to the initial portions of the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund (“PHSSE Fund”) and approximately $45 million of payments from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (“CMS”) Accelerated and Advance Payment Program. In addition, the Company received a 2% increase in facilities’ Medicare reimbursement rate as a result of the temporary suspension of Medicare sequestration from May 1, 2020, to December 31, 2020.
The CARES Act also provides for certain federal income and other tax changes, including an increase in the interest expense tax deduction limitation, the deferral of the employer portion of Social Security payroll taxes, refundable payroll tax credits, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds and bonus depreciation of qualified improvement property. The federal income tax changes brought about by the CARES Act are complex and further guidance is expected. The Company continues to review and determine the extent to which the tax provisions of the CARES Act will affect the Company.
During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded $18.1 million of income related to funds received under the CARES Act within other income in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The Company continues to evaluate its compliance with the terms and conditions to, and the financial impact of, funds received under the CARES Act and other government relief programs.

Revenue is primarily derived from services rendered to patients for inpatient psychiatric and substance abuse care, outpatient psychiatric care and residential treatment. The services provided by the Company have no fixed duration and can be terminated by the patient or the facility at any time, and therefore, each treatment is its own stand-alone contract.
As our performance obligations relate to contracts with a duration of one year or less, the Company elected the optional exemption in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 606-10-50-14(a). Therefore, the Company is not required to disclose the transaction price for the remaining performance obligations at the end of the reporting period or when the Company expects to recognize the revenue. The Company has minimal unsatisfied performance obligations at the end of the reporting period as our patients typically are under no obligation to remain admitted in our facilities.
The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by service type and by payor within each of the Company’s segments.
U.S. Facilities
The Company’s facilities in the United States (the “U.S. Facilities”) and services provided by the U.S. Facilities can generally be classified into the following categories: acute inpatient psychiatric facilities; specialty treatment facilities; residential treatment centers; and outpatient community-based facilities.
Acute inpatient psychiatric facilities. Acute inpatient psychiatric facilities provide a high level of care in order to stabilize patients that are either a threat to themselves or to others. The acute setting provides 24-hour observation, daily intervention and monitoring by psychiatrists.
Specialty treatment facilities. Specialty treatment facilities include residential recovery facilities, eating disorder facilities and comprehensive treatment centers. The Company provides a comprehensive continuum of care for adults with addictive disorders and co-occurring mental disorders. Inpatient, including detoxification and rehabilitation, partial hospitalization and outpatient treatment programs give patients access to the least restrictive level of care.
Residential treatment centers. Residential treatment centers treat patients with behavioral disorders in a non-hospital setting, including outdoor programs. The facilities balance therapy activities with social, academic and other activities.
Outpatient community-based facilities. Outpatient community-based programs are designed to provide therapeutic treatment to children and adolescents who have a clinically-defined emotional, psychiatric or chemical dependency disorder while enabling the youth to remain at home and within their community.
The table below presents total U.S. revenue attributed to each category (in thousands):

The Company receives payments from the following sources for services rendered in our U.S. Facilities: (i) state governments under their respective Medicaid and other programs; (ii) commercial insurers; (iii) the federal government under the Medicare program administered by CMS; and (iv) individual patients and clients.

The Company determines the transaction price based on established billing rates reduced by contractual adjustments provided to third-party payors, discounts provided to uninsured patients and implicit price concessions. Contractual adjustments and discounts are based on contractual agreements, discount policies and historical experience. Implicit price concessions are based on historical collection experience. Most of our U.S. Facilities have contracts containing variable consideration. However, it is unlikely a significant reversal of revenue will occur when the uncertainty is resolved, and therefore, the Company has included the variable consideration in the estimated transaction price. Subsequent changes resulting from a patient’s ability to pay are recorded as bad debt expense, which is included as a component of other operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income. Bad debt expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was not significant.

Contract liabilities in the U.S. Facilities primarily consisted of unearned revenues from CMS’ Accelerated and Advance Payment Program. Contract liabilities are included in other accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In April 2020, the Company received approximately $45 million from CMS’ Accelerated and Advance Payment Program for Medicare providers. The repayment of these accelerated/advance payments does not begin until 120 days after the date of issuance of payment. Once repayment is required, the amount will be recouped from the provider’s or supplier’s new Medicare claims. The facilities will generally have 210 days from the date of payment to repay the amounts that they owe. The Company expects the approximately $45 million received to be repaid over a three-month period from August to November 2020.

U.K. Facilities
The Company’s facilities located in the United Kingdom (the “U.K. Facilities”) and services provided by the U.K. Facilities can generally be classified into the following categories: healthcare facilities; education and children’s services; and adult care facilities.
Healthcare facilities. Healthcare facilities provide psychiatric treatment and nursing for sufferers of mental disorders, including for patients whose risk of harm to others and risk of escape from hospitals cannot be managed safely within other mental health settings. In order to manage the risks involved with treating patients, the facility is managed through the application of a range of security measures depending on the level of dependency and risk exhibited by the patient.
Education and children’s services. Education and children’s services provide specialist education for children and young people with special educational needs, including autism, Asperger’s Syndrome, social, emotional and mental health, and specific learning difficulties, such as dyslexia. The division also offers standalone children’s homes for children that require 52-week residential care to support complex and challenging behavior and fostering services.
Adult care facilities. Adult care focuses on care of individuals with a variety of learning difficulties, mental health illnesses and adult autism spectrum disorders. It also includes long-term, short-term and respite nursing care to high-dependency elderly individuals who are physically frail or suffering from dementia. Care is provided in a number of settings, including in residential care homes and through supported living.

9.
Leases
The Company’s lease portfolio primarily consists of finance and operating real estate leases integral for facility operations. The original terms of the leases typically range from five to 30 years with optional renewal periods. A minimal portion of the Company’s lease portfolio consists of non-real estate leases, including copiers and equipment, which generally have lease terms of one to three years and have insignificant lease obligations.
The Company has elected the accounting policy practical expedients by class of underlying asset in ASC 842 “Leases” to: (i) combine associated lease and non-lease components into a single lease component; and (ii) exclude recording short-term leases as right-of-use assets and liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Non-lease components, which are not significant overall, are combined with lease components.
Operating lease liabilities are recorded at the present value of remaining lease payments not yet paid for the lease term discounted using the incremental borrowing rate associated with each lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets represent operating lease liabilities adjusted for prepayments, accrued lease payments, lease incentives and initial direct costs. Certain of the Company’s leases include renewal or termination options. Calculation of operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities include the initial lease term unless it is reasonably certain a renewal or termination option will be exercised. Variable components of lease payments fluctuating with a future index or rate, as well as those related to common area maintenance costs, are not included in determining lease payments and are expensed as incurred. Most of the Company’s leases do not contain implicit borrowing rates, and therefore,
12
incremental borrowing rates are calculated based on information available at the lease commencement date. Incremental borrowing rates reflect the Company’s estimated interest rates for collateralized borrowings over similar lease terms. Additionally, the Company reviews service agreements for embedded lease and right-of-use assets and liabilities as necessary.

Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility
The Company entered into a senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”) on April 1, 2011. On December 31, 2012, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) which amended and restated the Senior Secured Credit Facility (the “Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility”). The Company has amended the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement from time to time as described in the Company’s prior filings with the SEC.
On February 6, 2019, the Company entered into the Eleventh Amendment (the “Eleventh Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Eleventh Amendment, among other things, amended the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” to remove the cap on non-cash charges, losses and expenses related to the impairment of goodwill, which in turn provided increased flexibility to the Company in terms of the Company’s financial covenants.
On February 27, 2019, the Company entered into the Twelfth Amendment (the “Twelfth Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Twelfth Amendment, among other things, modified certain definitions, including “Consolidated EBITDA”, and increased our permitted Maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio, thereby providing increased flexibility to the Company in terms of the Company’s financial covenants.
On April 21, 2020, the Company entered into the Thirteenth Amendment (the “Thirteenth Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Thirteenth Amendment amended the Consolidated Leverage Ratio in the existing covenant to increase the leverage ratio for the rest of 2020.
The Company had $485.6 million of availability under the revolving line of credit and had standby letters of credit outstanding of $14.4 million related to security for the payment of claims required by its workers’ compensation insurance program at June 30, 2020. In early April 2020, the Company borrowed $100.0 million on the revolving line of credit to enhance its cash position in response to the potential impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s future liquidity and subsequently repaid this amount in late May 2020. Borrowings under the revolving line of credit are subject to customary conditions precedent to borrowing.
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement requires quarterly term loan principal repayments of our Term Loan A facility (“TLA Facility”) of $7.1 million for September 30, 2020 to December 31, 2020, and $9.5 million for March 31, 2021 to September 30, 2021, with the remaining principal balance of the TLA Facility due on the maturity date of November 30, 2021. The Company is required to repay the Term Loan B facility Tranche B-3 (the “Tranche B-3 Facility”) in equal quarterly installments of $1.2 million on the last business day of each March, June, September and December, with the outstanding principal balance of the Tranche B-3 Facility of $447.3 million due on February 11, 2022. The Company is required to repay the Term Loan B facility Tranche B-4 (the “Tranche B-4 Facility”) in equal quarterly installments of approximately $2.3 million on the last business day of each March, June, September and December, with the outstanding principal balance of the Tranche B-4 Facility of $854.4 million due on February 16, 2023.
Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility are guaranteed by each of the Company’s wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (other than certain excluded subsidiaries) and are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and such subsidiaries. Borrowings with respect to the TLA Facility and the Company’s revolving credit facility (collectively, “Pro Rata Facilities”) under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate tied to the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio (defined as consolidated funded debt net of up to $50.0 million of unrestricted and unencumbered cash to consolidated EBITDA). The Applicable Rate for the Pro Rata Facilities was 2.50% for Eurodollar Rate Loans and 1.50% for Base Rate Loans at June 30, 2020. Eurodollar Rate Loans with respect to the Pro Rata Facilities bear interest at the Applicable Rate plus the Eurodollar Rate (based upon the LIBOR Rate prior to commencement of the interest rate period). Base Rate Loans with respect to the Pro Rata Facilities bear interest at the Applicable Rate plus the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the prime rate and (iii) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.00%. At June 30, 2020, the Pro Rata Facilities bore interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.50%. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee on undrawn amounts under the revolving line of credit.
Borrowings with respect to the Tranche B-3 Facility bear interest as follows: Eurodollar Rate loans bear interest at the Tranche B-3 Facility Applicable Rate (as defined below) plus the Eurodollar Rate (based upon the LIBOR Rate prior to commencement of the interest rate period). Base Rate Loans bear interest at the Tranche B-3 Facility Applicable Rate plus the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the prime rate and (iii) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0%. As used herein, the term “Tranche B-3 Facility Applicable Rate” means, with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, 2.50%, and with respect to Base Rate Loans, 1.50%. The Tranche B-4 Facility bears interest as follows: Eurodollar Rate Loans bear interest at the Tranche B-4 Facility Applicable Rate (as defined below) plus the Eurodollar Rate (based upon the LIBOR Rate prior to commencement of the interest rate period) and Base Rate Loans bear interest at the Tranche B-4 Facility Applicable Rate plus the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the prime rate and (iii) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0%. As used herein, the term “Tranche B-4 Facility Applicable Rate” means, with respect to Eurodollar Rate
15
Loans, 2.50%, and with respect to Base Rate Loans, 1.50%. At June 30, 2020, the Tranche B-3 Facility and the Tranche B-4 Facility bore interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.50%.
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement requires the Company and its subsidiaries to comply with customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including a fixed charge coverage ratio, consolidated leverage ratio and senior secured leverage ratio. The Company may be required to pay all of its indebtedness immediately if it defaults on any of the numerous financial or other restrictive covenants contained in any of its material debt agreements. At June 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with such covenants.

Equity-Based Compensation
Equity Incentive Plans
The Company issues stock-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units, to certain officers, employees and non-employee directors under the Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”). At June 30, 2020, a maximum of 8,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were authorized for issuance as stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units or other share-based compensation under the Equity Incentive Plan, of which 1,064,029 were available for future grant. Stock options may be granted for terms of up to ten years. The Company recognizes expense on all share-based awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the entire award. Grants to employees generally vest in annual increments of 25% each year, commencing one year after the date of grant. The exercise prices of stock options are equal to the most recent closing price of the Company’s common stock on the most recent trading date prior to the date of grant.

Expected life (in years)
The Company’s estimate of expected volatility for stock options is based upon the volatility of our stock price over the expected life of the award. The risk-free interest rate is the approximate yield on U.S. Treasury Strips having a life equal to the expected option life on the date of grant. The expected life is an estimate of the number of years an option will be held before it is exercised.

Restricted stock awards are time-based vesting awards that vest over a period of three or four years and are subject to continuing service of the employee or non-employee director over the ratable vesting periods. The fair values of the restricted stock awards were determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the trading date immediately prior to the grant date.
Restricted stock units are granted to employees and are subject to Company performance compared to pre-established targets and Company performance compared to peers. In addition to Company performance, these performance-based restricted stock units are subject to the continuing service of the employee during the two- or three-year period covered by the awards. The performance condition for the restricted stock units is based on the Company’s achievement of annually established targets for diluted earnings per share. Additionally, the number of shares issuable pursuant to restricted stock units granted during 2020 and 2019 are subject to adjustment based on the Company’s three-year annualized total stockholder return relative to a peer group consisting of S&P 1500
18
companies within the Healthcare Providers & Services 6 digit GICS industry group and selected other companies deemed to be peers. The number of shares issuable at the end of the applicable vesting period of restricted stock units ranges from 0% to 200% of the targeted units based on the Company’s actual performance compared to the targets and, for 2020 and 2019 awards, performance compared to peers.
The fair values of restricted stock units were determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the trading date immediately prior to the grant date for units subject to performance conditions, or at its Monte-Carlo simulation value for units subject to market conditions.

Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 reflects effective tax rates of 16.5% and 19.4%, respectively, while the provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 reflects effective tax rates of 15.6% and 19.6%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rates for the current year is primarily attributable to changes in the Company’s valuation allowance related to a decrease in the deferred tax asset on carried forward interest that is deductible as a result of the CARES Act interest deductibility changes.
As we continue to monitor tax implications of the CARES Act and other state, federal and foreign stimulus and tax legislation, we may make adjustments to our estimates and record additional amounts for tax assets and liabilities. Additionally, market disruption due to COVID-19 may affect the Company’s ability to realize our deferred tax assets. Any adjustments to our tax assets and liabilities could materially impact our provision for income taxes and our effective tax rate in the periods in which they are made.
13.
Derivatives
The Company periodically enters into foreign currency forward contracts in connection with certain transfers of cash between the U.S. and U.K. under the Company’s cash management and foreign currency risk management programs. Foreign currency forward contracts limit the economic risk of changes in the exchange rate between U.S. Dollars (“USD”) and British Pounds (“GBP”) associated with cash transfers.
In May 2016, the Company entered into multiple cross currency swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $650.0 million to manage foreign currency risk by effectively converting a portion of its fixed-rate USD-denominated senior notes, including the semi-annual interest payments thereafter, to fixed-rate GBP-denominated debt of £449.3 million. In August 2019, the Company terminated its existing net investment cross currency swap derivatives of $105.0 million. Cash received from the termination of the cross currency swap derivatives was included in investing activities in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. The related gain from this termination was included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in accordance with ASC 815-30-40-1.
In August 2019, the Company also entered into multiple cross currency swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $650.0 million to manage foreign currency risk by effectively converting a portion of its fixed-rate USD-denominated senior notes, including the semi-annual interest payments thereunder, to fixed-rate GBP-denominated debt of £538.1 million. During the term of the swap agreements, the Company will receive semi-annual interest payments in USD from the counterparties at fixed interest rates, and the Company will make semi-annual interest payments in GBP to the counterparties at fixed interest rates. The interest payments under the cross-currency swap agreements result in £25.4 million of annual cash flows from the Company’s U.K. business being converted to $35.8 million.
The Company has designated the cross currency swap agreements and forward contracts entered into during 2019 and the six months ended June 30, 2020 as qualifying hedging instruments and is accounting for these derivatives as net investment hedges. The fair values of these derivatives at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 of $(8.7) million and $(68.9) million, respectively, are recorded as derivative instrument liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During 2019, the Company elected the spot method for recording its net investment hedges. Gains and losses resulting from the settlement of the excluded components are recorded in interest expense on the condensed consolidated statements of income. Gains and losses resulting from fair value adjustments to the cross currency swap agreements are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss as the swaps are effective in hedging the designated risk. Cash flows related to the cross currency swap derivatives are included in operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Commitments and Contingencies
Professional and General Liability
A portion of the Company’s professional liability risks are insured through a wholly-owned insurance subsidiary. The Company is self-insured for professional liability claims up to $3.0 million per claim and has obtained reinsurance coverage from a third party to cover claims in excess of the retention limit. The reinsurance policy has a coverage limit of $75.0 million in the aggregate. The Company’s reinsurance receivables are recognized consistent with the related liabilities and include known claims and any incurred but not reported claims that are covered by current insurance policies in place.
The Company is, from time to time, subject to various claims, lawsuits, governmental investigations and regulatory actions, including claims for damages for personal injuries, medical malpractice, overpayments, breach of contract, securities law violations, tort and employment related claims. In these actions, plaintiffs request a variety of damages, including, in some instances, punitive and other types of damages that may not be covered by insurance. In addition, healthcare companies are subject to numerous investigations by various governmental agencies. Certain of the Company’s individual facilities have received, and from time to time, other facilities may receive, subpoenas, civil investigative demands, audit requests and other inquiries from, and may be subject to investigation by, federal and state agencies. These investigations can result in repayment obligations, and violations of the False Claims Act can result in substantial monetary penalties and fines, the imposition of a corporate integrity agreement and exclusion from participation in governmental health programs. In addition, the federal False Claims Act permits private parties to bring qui tam, or “whistleblower,” suits against companies that submit false claims for payments to, or improperly retain overpayments from, the government. Some states have adopted similar state whistleblower and false claims provisions.
On April 1, 2019, a consolidated complaint was filed against the Company and certain former and current officers in the lawsuit styled St. Clair County Employees’ Retirement System v. Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc., et al., Case No. 3:19-cv-00988, which is pending in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. The complaint purports to be brought on behalf of a class consisting of all persons (other than defendants) who purchased securities of the Company between April 30, 2014 and November 15, 2018, and alleges that defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)
20
and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. At this time, we are not able to quantify any potential liability in connection with this litigation because the case is in its early stages.
On February 21, 2019, a purported stockholder filed a related derivative action on behalf of the Company against certain former and current officers and directors in the lawsuit styled Davydov v. Joey A. Jacobs, et al., Case No. 3:19-cv-00167, which is pending in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. The complaint alleges claims for violations of Section 10(b) and 14(a) of the Exchange Act, breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, and unjust enrichment. On May 23, 2019, a purported stockholder filed a second related derivative action on behalf of the Company against certain former and current officers and directors in the lawsuit styled Beard v. Jacobs, et al., Case No. 3:19-cv-0441, which is pending the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. The complaint alleges claims for violations of Sections 10(b), 14(a), and 21D of the Exchange Act, breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, unjust enrichment, and insider selling. On June 11, 2019, the Davydov and Beard actions were consolidated and ordered stayed pending a ruling on the motion to dismiss that was filed in the St. Clair County v. Acadia Healthcare case described above. At this time, we are not able to quantify any potential liability in connection with this litigation because the cases are in their early stages.
On April 25, 2018, plaintiff filed Pence v. Sober Living By the Sea, Inc. - 30-2018-00988742-CU-OE-CXC, Orange County Superior Court (Pence I). On July 13, 2018, plaintiff next filed Pence v. Sober Living by the Sea, Inc.; Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. - 30-2018-01005317-CU-OE-CJC, Orange County Superior Court (Pence II). These cases have now been consolidated before the same judge in the Complex Litigation Department of the Orange County Superior Court. The complaints allege various wage and hour violations under California law on behalf of a putative class of all non-exempt California employees of Acadia and various subsidiaries, going back to April 25, 2014, and on behalf of purportedly aggrieved non-exempt employees under California’s Private Attorney General Act (“PAGA”). The claims include (1) failure to provide overtime wages; (2); failure to provide minimum wages; (3) failure to provide meal periods; (4) failure to provide rest periods; (5); failure to pay wages due at termination; (6) failure to provide accurate wage statements; (7) violations of California Business and Professions Code section 17200; and (8) civil penalties under California Labor Code section 2699 (PAGA). During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded approximately $4.0 million to transaction-related expenses in the consolidated statements of income based on the Company’s expected settlement and legal fees.
In the fall of 2017, the Office of Inspector General issued subpoenas to three of the Company’s facilities requesting certain documents from January 2013 to the date of the subpoenas. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida issued a civil investigative demand to one of the Company’s facilities in December 2017 requesting certain documents from November 2012 to the date of the demand. In April 2019, the Office of Inspector General issued subpoenas relating to six additional facilities requesting certain documents and information from January 2013 to the date of the subpoenas. The government’s investigation of each of these facilities is focused on claims not eligible for payment because of alleged violations of certain regulatory requirements relating to, among other things, medical necessity, admission eligibility, discharge decisions, length of stay and patient care issues. The Company is cooperating with the government’s investigation but is not able to quantify any potential liability in connection with these investigations.

Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests in the consolidated financial statements represents the portion of equity held by noncontrolling partners in the Company’s non-wholly owned subsidiaries. At June 30, 2020, the Company operated five facilities through non-wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company owns between 60% and 86% of the equity interests of these entities and noncontrolling partners own the remaining equity interests. The initial value of the noncontrolling interests is based on the fair value of contributions, and the Company consolidates the operations of each facility based on its equity ownership and its control of the entity. The noncontrolling interests are reflected as redeemable noncontrolling interests on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets based on put rights that could require the Company to purchase the noncontrolling interests upon the occurrence of a change in control.

Segment EBITDA is defined as income before provision for income taxes, equity-based compensation expense, debt extinguishment costs, transaction-related expenses, interest expense and depreciation and amortization. The Company uses Segment EBITDA as an analytical indicator to measure the performance of the Company’s segments and to develop strategic objectives and operating plans for those segments. Segment EBITDA is commonly used as an analytical indicator within the health care industry, and also serves as a measure of leverage capacity and debt service ability. Segment EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded from Segment EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Because Segment EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, Segment EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include any statements that address future results or occurrences. In some cases you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “could” or the negative thereof. Generally, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “plan” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. In particular, statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are forward-looking statements.
We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections. While we believe these expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of our control, which could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to:
•
the impact of the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic on our inpatient and outpatient volumes, or disruptions caused by other pandemics, epidemics and highly contagious infectious diseases;
increases in the amount and risk of collectability of patient accounts receivable, particularly as the unemployment rate and number of underinsured and uninsured patients have increased as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic;
costs of providing care to our patients, including increased staffing, equipment and supply expenses resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic;
our significant indebtedness, our ability to meet our debt obligations, and our ability to incur substantially more debt;
our ability to implement our business strategies, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and our decision to temporarily suspend our pursuit of a strategic transaction for our U.K. business;
potential difficulties operating our business in light of political and economic instability in the U.K. and globally relating to the U.K.’s departure from the European Union;
the impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, including the devaluations of the GBP relative to the USD;
our ability to restart our pursuit of, and to enter into and successfully complete a strategic transaction related to our U.K. operations;
the impact of payments received from the government and third-party payors on our revenue and results of operations including the significant dependence of our U.K. Facilities on payments received from the NHS;
difficulties in successfully integrating the operations of acquired facilities or realizing the potential benefits and synergies of our acquisitions and joint ventures;
our ability to recruit and retain quality psychiatrists and other physicians, nurses, counselors and other medical support personnel;
the impact of competition for staffing on our labor costs and profitability;
the impact of increases to our labor costs;
the occurrence of patient incidents, which could result in negative media coverage, adversely affect the price of our securities and result in incremental regulatory burdens and governmental investigations;
our future cash flow and earnings;
our restrictive covenants, which may restrict our business and financing activities;
our ability to make payments on our financing arrangements;
the impact of the economic and employment conditions on our business and future results of operations;
the impact of adverse weather conditions, including the effects of hurricanes;
compliance with laws and government regulations;
the impact of claims brought against us or our facilities including claims for damages for personal injuries, medical malpractice, overpayments, breach of contract, securities law violations, tort and employee related claims;
the impact of governmental investigations, regulatory actions and whistleblower lawsuits;
any failure to comply with the terms of our corporate integrity agreement;
the impact of healthcare reform in the U.S. and abroad, including the potential repeal, replacement or modification of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act;
the impact of our highly competitive industry on patient volumes;
our dependence on key management personnel, key executives and local facility management personnel;
our acquisition, joint venture and de novo strategies, which expose us to a variety of operational and financial risks, as well as legal and regulatory risks;
the impact of state efforts to regulate the construction or expansion of healthcare facilities on our ability to operate and expand our operations;
our potential inability to extend leases at expiration;
the impact of controls designed to reduce inpatient services on our revenue;
the impact of different interpretations of accounting principles on our results of operations or financial condition;
the impact of environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, especially in locations where we have concentrated operations;
the risk of a cyber-security incident and any resulting violation of laws and regulations regarding information privacy or other negative impact;
the impact of laws and regulations relating to privacy and security of patient health information and standards for electronic transactions;
our ability to cultivate and maintain relationships with referral sources;
the impact of a change in the mix of our U.S. and U.K. earnings, adverse changes in our effective tax rate and adverse developments in tax laws generally;
changes in interpretations, assumptions and expectations regarding recent tax legislation, including provisions of the CARES Act, and additional guidance that may be issued by federal and state taxing authorities;
failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting;
the impact of fluctuations in our operating results, quarter to quarter earnings and other factors on the price of our securities;
the impact of the trend for insurance companies and managed care organizations to enter into sole source contracts on our ability to obtain patients;
the impact of value-based purchasing programs on our revenue; and
those risks and uncertainties described from time to time in our filings with the SEC.
Given these risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties may cause our actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We do not undertake and specifically decline any obligation to update any such statements or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any such statements to reflect future events or developments.
Overview
Our business strategy is to acquire and develop behavioral healthcare facilities and improve our operating results within our facilities and our other behavioral healthcare operations. We strive to improve the operating results of our facilities by providing high-quality services, expanding referral networks and marketing initiatives while meeting the increased demand for behavioral healthcare services through expansion of our current locations as well as developing new services within existing locations. At June 30, 2020, we operated 589 behavioral healthcare facilities with approximately 18,200 beds in 40 states, the U.K. and Puerto Rico. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we added 108 beds to existing facilities. For the year ending December 31, 2020, we expect to add more than 500 total beds exclusive of acquisitions.
27
We are the leading publicly traded pure-play provider of behavioral healthcare services, with operations in the U.S. and the U.K. Management believes that we are positioned as a leading platform in a highly fragmented industry under the direction of an experienced management team that has significant industry expertise. Management expects to take advantage of several strategies that are more accessible as a result of our increased size and geographic scale, including continuing a national marketing strategy to attract new patients and referral sources, increasing our volume of out-of-state referrals, providing a broader range of services to new and existing patients and clients and selectively pursuing opportunities to expand our facility and bed count in the U.S. through acquisitions, de novo facilities, joint ventures and bed additions in existing facilities.
During 2019, we commenced a review of strategic alternatives including those related to our U.K. operations and a potential sale of such operations. In January 2020, we launched a formal process regarding the sale of our U.K. business. Consistent with market practice for U.K. transactions of this nature, and in conjunction with our advisors, we solicited and received initial, non-binding offers to acquire our U.K. business from multiple bidders. During the first quarter of 2020, we began the second phase of the sale process, during which interested bidders would receive proposed transaction documents and complete their confirmatory due diligence. However, given evolving market dynamics related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we suspended the sale process in mid-March 2020. While the interest from potential buyers has been strong, the sale process remains temporarily suspended.
COVID-19
During March 2020, the global pandemic of COVID-19 began to affect our facilities, employees, patients, communities, business operations and financial performance, as well as the broader U.S. and U.K. economies and financial markets. At a limited number of our facilities, employees and/or patients have tested positive for COVID-19. We are committed to protecting the health of our communities and have been responding to the evolving COVID-19 situation while taking steps to provide quality care and protect the health and safety of patients and employees. All of our facilities are closely following infectious disease protocols, as well as recommendations by the CDC, NHS and local health officials. We have established an internal COVID-19 taskforce, developed additional supply chain management processes, expanded telehealth capabilities and implemented emergency planning in directly impacted markets.
We have taken steps to help minimize the impact of the virus. For example, we:
have instituted social distancing practices and protective measures throughout our facilities, which includes restricting or suspending visitor access, limiting group therapy, and screening patients and staff who enter our facilities based on criteria established by the CDC, NHS and local health officials;
have limited all non-essential business travel; and
have implemented work-from-home policies for certain employees, to the extent practicable, and suspended in-person trainings and conferences.
COVID-19 is adversely impacting our business and likely will have an impact on our financial results that we are not currently able to quantify. For example, due in part to local, state and federal guidelines as well as recommendations from medical officials regarding stay-at-home orders, social distancing practices and self-quarantine in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen a decline in referrals, particularly from emergency rooms and medical professionals. In addition, restrictive measures adopted or encouraged by federal, state and local governments, such as travel bans and stay-at-home orders, have reduced patient volume at our facilities more generally. As a result, many of our facilities experienced significantly lower patient days primarily during late March and April 2020. The impact on our facilities varies based on the market in which the facility operates and the type of facility. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, U.S. same facility patient days improved from a decline of 6.7% in April to an increase of 0.1% in May and an increase of 4.7% in June, compared to the same period in the prior year. The improved volume trends were driven by a shift in marketing strategy and efforts and the easing of stay-at-home orders and other restrictions. For the month of July 2020, U.S. same facility patient days were up 5.4% compared to the same period in the prior year, and demand remains strong across the U.S. operations. In the U.K., as the country started to reopen and lift restrictions in June 2020, certain services with a shorter length of stay have shown recent improvement with same facility patient days declining 3.4% in June and 2.1% in July. It is difficult to predict the impact of COVID-19 on our patient volume, and, as restrictions are eased, we cannot predict the timing of returning to pre-COVID volumes, if at all.
We have developed additional supply chain management processes, which includes extensive tracking and delivery of key personal protective equipment (“PPE”) and supplies and sharing resources across all facilities. However, we are also experiencing supply chain disruptions and could experience significant price increases in equipment, pharmaceuticals and medical supplies, particularly PPE. Pandemic-related staffing difficulties and equipment, pharmaceutical and medical supplies shortages may impact our
28
ability to treat patients at our facilities. Such shortages could lead to us paying higher prices for supplies, equipment and labor and an increase in overtime hours paid to our employees.
At June 30, 2020, we had approximately $211.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and $485.6 million of available borrowing capacity under our revolving line of credit. In response to the estimated financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are pursuing various actions intended to enhance our financial flexibility including, among other things, the benefits described in the “CARES Act and other Regulatory Developments” herein. In addition, we are evaluating and undertaking certain additional steps to mitigate the financial impact, including:
reducing maintenance and expansion capital expenditures;
managing corporate and facility-level staffing costs by aligning staffing to patient volumes and implementing a hiring freeze for non-clinical staff;
limiting all non-essential business travel;
reducing discretionary expenditures and temporarily reducing marketing spending;
negotiating with our vendors and lessors for discounts and/or revised payment terms; and
closely managing our working capital as our facilities continue to bill and collect for services rendered and extend payments on traditional accounts payables.
Although we are reviewing potential liquidity and intend to seek any available benefits under the CARES Act, including those described herein, we cannot predict the manner in which such benefits will be allocated or administered and we cannot assure you we will be able to access such benefits in a timely manner or at all. In addition, procuring these benefits and otherwise responding to the global pandemic is likely to require us to dedicate additional management resources.
For additional information, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations— Liquidity and Capital Resources”.
CARES Act and Other Regulatory Developments
On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law. The CARES Act is intended to provide over $2 trillion in stimulus benefits for the U.S. economy. Among other things, the CARES Act includes additional support for small businesses, expands unemployment benefits, makes forgivable loans available to small businesses, provides for certain federal income tax changes, and provides $500 billion for loans, loan guarantees, and other investments for or in U.S. businesses.
In addition, the CARES Act contains a number of provisions that are intended to assist healthcare providers as they combat the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Those provisions include, among others:
an appropriation of $100 billion to the PHSSE Fund for a new program to reimburse, through grants or other mechanisms, eligible healthcare providers and other approved entities for COVID-19-related expenses or lost revenues;
the expansion of CMS’ Accelerated and Advance Payment Program;
the temporary suspension of Medicare sequestration from May 1, 2020, to December 31, 2020; and
waivers or temporary suspension of certain regulatory requirements.
As noted above, the U.S. government initially announced it would offer $100 billion of relief to eligible healthcare providers through the PHSSE Fund. On April 24, 2020, President Trump signed into law the New PPP Act. Among other things, the New PPP Act allocates $75 billion to eligible healthcare providers to help offset COVID-19 related losses and expenses. The $75 billion allocated under the New PPP Act is in addition to the $100 billion allocated to healthcare providers for the same purposes in the CARES Act and has been disbursed to providers under terms and conditions similar to the CARES Act funds. We have received approximately $20 million of the initial PHSSE funds distributed in April 2020.
Using existing authority and certain expanded authority under the CARES Act, the United States Department of Health and Human Services has expanded CMS’ Accelerated and Advance Payment Program to a broader group of Medicare Part A and Part B providers for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. Under the program, our facilities may request up to 100% of their Medicare payment amount for a three-month period. The repayment of these accelerated/advanced payments does not begin until 120 days after the date of the issuance of the payment. Once repayment is required, the amounts previously advanced to the provider or supplier will
29
be recouped from the provider’s or supplier’s new Medicare claims. Our facilities will generally have 210 days from the date the accelerated or advance payment was made to repay the amounts that they owe. We applied for and received approximately $45 million in April 2020 from this program, which we expect to repay over a three-month period from August to November 2020.
Also under the CARES Act, we received a 2% increase in our facilities’ Medicare reimbursement rate as a result of the temporary suspension of Medicare sequestration from May 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020.
The CARES Act also provides for certain federal income and other tax changes, including an increase in the interest expense tax deduction limitation, the deferral of the employer portion of Social Security payroll taxes, refundable payroll tax credits, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds and bonus depreciation of qualified improvement property. The federal income tax changes brought about by the CARES Act are complex and further guidance is expected. We are still reviewing and determining the extent to which the tax provisions of the CARES Act will affect the Company. We expect a cash benefit of approximately $39 million for 2020 relating to the delay of payment of the employer portion of Social Security payroll taxes. Within the CARES Act, the interest expense deduction threshold was increased to 50% of Adjusted Taxable Income for 2019 and 2020 tax years, making our interest expense fully deductible. As a result, we expect a cash benefit in the form of refunds and/or lower tax payments of approximately $16 million related to our 2019 interest expense and between $15 million and $20 million related to our 2020 interest expense.
In addition to the financial and other relief that has been provided by the federal government through the CARES Act and other legislation passed by Congress, CMS and many state governments have also issued waivers and temporary suspensions of healthcare facility licensure, certification, and reimbursement requirements in order to provide hospitals, physicians, and other healthcare providers with increased flexibility to meet the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, CMS and many state governments have temporarily eased regulatory requirements and burdens for delivering and being reimbursed for healthcare services provided remotely through telemedicine. CMS has also temporarily waived many provisions of the Stark law, including many of the provisions affecting our relationships with physicians. Many states have also suspended the enforcement of certain regulatory requirements to ensure that healthcare providers have sufficient capacity to treat COVID-19 patients. These regulatory changes are temporary, with most slated to expire at the end of the declared COVID-19 public health emergency.
We are continuing to evaluate the terms and conditions and financial impact of funds received under the CARES Act and other government relief programs.
On April 1, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of Bradford, a specialty treatment facility with 46 beds located in Millerton, Pennsylvania, for cash consideration of approximately $4.5 million.
On February 15, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of Whittier, an inpatient psychiatric facility with 71 beds located in Haverhill, Massachusetts, for cash consideration of approximately $17.9 million. Also on February 15, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of Mission Treatment for cash consideration of approximately $22.5 million. Mission Treatment operates nine comprehensive treatment centers in California, Nevada, Arizona and Oklahoma.

Average length of stay is defined as patient days divided by admissions.
(c) Segment EBITDA is defined as income before provision for income taxes, equity-based compensation expense, debt extinguishment costs, transaction-related expenses, interest expense and depreciation and amortization. Management uses Segment EBITDA as an analytical indicator to measure the performance of our segments and to develop strategic objectives and operating plans for those segments. Segment EBITDA is commonly used as an analytical indicator within the health care industry, and also serves as a measure of leverage capacity and debt service ability. Segment EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded from Segment EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Because Segment EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP
31
and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, Segment EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
Results in our U.S. Facilities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, were affected by COVID-19. Volumes declined in late March 2020 as a result of the impact of the pandemic on traditional referral sources, such as emergency rooms and medical professionals; the stay-at-home orders implemented by many states; and the effects of the travel restrictions on certain facilities with national referral networks. The COVID-19 pandemic affected our business starting in late March 2020 with signs of improvement in May and June 2020.

Results in our U.K. Facilities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were affected by COVID-19. Beginning in late March 2020, our U.K. operations faced temporary disruptions from the stay-at-home orders implemented in the U.K. on the referral and commissioning process. As the country has started to reopen and lift restrictions in June 2020, certain services with a shorter length of stay have shown recent improvement.
Three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019
Revenue. Revenue decreased $39.1 million, or 4.9%, to $750.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $789.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 resulting from same facility revenue decline of 3.5% and a $9.7 million decrease in the exchange rate between USD and GBP. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we generated $491.5 million of revenue, or 65.5% of our total revenue, from our U.S. Facilities and $258.8 million of revenue, or 34.5% of our total revenue, from our U.K. Facilities. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we generated $509.8 million of revenue, or 64.6% of our total revenue, from our U.S. Facilities and $279.5 million of revenue, or 35.4% of our total revenue, from our U.K. Facilities.
U.S. same facility revenue decreased by $17.2 million, or 3.4%, for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, resulting from same facility decline in patient days of 0.7% and a decrease in same facility revenue per day of 2.7%. The decrease in same facility revenue per day is primarily attributable to a decline in outpatient volumes and reimbursement in certain markets for comprehensive treatment center in-person services that was temporarily affected by stay-at-home orders. U.K. same facility revenue decreased by $9.3 million, or 3.8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, resulting from a decline in same facility patient days of 4.5% offset by an increase in same facility revenue per day of 0.7%.
Salaries, wages and benefits. Salaries, wages and benefits (“SWB”) expense was $427.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $430.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $2.6 million. SWB expense included $5.8 million and $4.2 million of equity-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Excluding equity-based compensation expense, SWB expense was $421.8 million, or 56.2% of revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $426.0 million, or 54.0% of revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in SWB as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to reduced occupancy resulting from COVID-19. Same facility SWB expense was $387.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, or 53.4% of revenue, compared to $386.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, or 51.3% of revenue.
32

The slight increase in professional fees was primarily the result of higher cost agency labor required in certain markets. Same facility professional fees were $52.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, or 7.2% of revenue, compared to $51.4 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2019, or 6.8% of revenue.
Supplies. Supplies expense was $30.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, or 4.0% of revenue, compared to $30.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, or 3.9% of revenue. Same facility supplies expense was $28.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, or 3.9% of revenue, compared to $29.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, or 3.9% of revenue.

Rents and leases were $20.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, or 2.8% of revenue compared to $20.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, or 2.6% of revenue. Same facility rents and leases were $17.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, or 2.3% of revenue, compared to $16.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, or 2.2% of revenue.
Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses consisted primarily of purchased services, utilities, insurance, travel and repairs and maintenance expenses. Other operating expenses were $92.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, or 12.3% of revenue, compared to $94.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, or 12.0% of revenue. Same facility other operating expenses were $89.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, or 12.4% of revenue, compared to $89.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, or 11.9% of revenue.
Other income. Other income was $18.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and relates to income from funds received under the CARES Act.

Interest expense. Interest expense was $38.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $48.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in interest expense was primarily a result of lower interest rates applicable to our variable rate debt.
Debt extinguishment costs. Debt extinguishment costs were $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and represented $1.0 million of cash charges and $2.3 million of non-cash charges recorded in connection with the redemption of the 6.125% Senior Notes and the 5.125% Senior Notes.
Transaction-related expenses. Transaction-related expenses were $5.2 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. Transaction-related expenses primarily relate to termination, restructuring, U.K. sale, strategic review, management transition and other similar costs incurred in the respective periods, as summarized below (in thousands):
Provision for income taxes. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the provision for income taxes was $8.2 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 16.5%, compared to $11.6 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 19.4%, for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily attributable to changes in our valuation allowance on deferred tax assets impacted by the CARES Act.
33
Six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019
Revenue. Revenue was $1.5 billion for both the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. The slight decrease of $16.9 million, or 1.1%, resulted from a same facility revenue decline of 0.1% and a $14.3 million decrease in the exchange rate between USD and GBP. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we generated $1.0 billion of revenue, or 65.3% of our total revenue, from our U.S. Facilities and $532.4 million of revenue, or 34.7% of our total revenue, from our U.K. Facilities. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we generated $997.8 million of revenue, or 64.4% of our total revenue, from our U.S. Facilities and $552.2 million of revenue, or 35.6% of our total revenue, from our U.K. Facilities.
U.S. same facility revenue increased by $2.5 million, or 0.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, resulting from same facility growth in patient days of 1.1% offset by a decrease in same facility revenue per day of 0.8%. U.K. same facility revenue decreased by $4.6 million, or 0.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, resulting from a decrease in same facility patient days of 2.7% offset by an increase in same facility revenue per day of 1.9%.
Salaries, wages and benefits. SWB expense was $867.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $859.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $8.1 million. SWB expense included $10.8 million and $10.3 million of equity-based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Excluding equity-based compensation expense, SWB expense was $857.1 million, or 55.9% of revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $ 849.5 million, or 54.8% of revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in SWB as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to reduced occupancy resulting from COVID-19. Same facility SWB expense was $784.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, or 53.1% of revenue, compared to $770.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, or 52.0% of revenue.
Professional fees. Professional fees were $121.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, or 8.0% of revenue, compared to $115.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, or 7.4% of revenue. The increase in professional fees was primarily the result of higher cost agency labor required in certain markets, which was partially attributable to COVID-19. Same facility professional fees were $108.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, or 7.3% of revenue, compared to $101.2 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2019, or 6.8% of revenue.
Supplies. Supplies expense was $62.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, or 4.1% of revenue, compared to $60.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, or 3.9% of revenue. The increase in supplies was primarily the result of COVID-19 related supply purchases, particularly PPE. Same facility supplies expense was $58.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, or 4.0% of revenue, compared to $57.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, or 3.9% of revenue.

Same facility other operating expenses were $182.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, or 12.4% of revenue, compared to $177.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, or 12.0% of revenue.
Other income. Other income was $18.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and relates to income from funds received under the CARES Act.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $83.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, or 5.4% of revenue, compared to $81.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, or 5.3% of revenue.
Interest expense. Interest expense was $81.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $96.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in interest expense was primarily a result of lower interest rates applicable to our variable rate debt.
Debt extinguishment costs. Debt extinguishment costs were $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and represented $1.0 million of cash charges and $2.3 million of non-cash charges recorded in connection with the redemption of the 6.125% Senior Notes and the 5.125% Senior Notes.
34
Transaction-related expenses. Transaction-related expenses were $8.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $9.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Transaction-related expenses primarily relate to termination, restructuring, U.K. sale, strategic review, management transition and other similar costs incurred in the respective periods, as summarized below (in thousands):
Provision for income taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the provision for income taxes was $14.0 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 15.6%, compared to $19.0 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 19.6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily attributable to changes in our valuation allowance related to a decrease in the deferred tax asset on carried forward interest that is deductible as a result of the CARES Act interest deductibility changes.
Our revenue is primarily derived from services rendered to patients for inpatient psychiatric and substance abuse care, outpatient psychiatric care and adolescent residential treatment. We receive payments from the following sources for services rendered in our facilities: (i) state governments under their respective Medicaid and other programs; (ii) commercial insurers; (iii) the federal government under the Medicare program administered by CMS; (iv) publicly funded sources in the U.K. (including the NHS, CCGs and local authorities in England, Scotland and Wales) and (v) individual patients and clients. We determine the transaction price based on established billing rates reduced by contractual adjustments provided to third-party payors, discounts provided to uninsured patients and implicit price concessions. Contractual adjustments and discounts are based on contractual agreements, discount policies and historical experience. Implicit price concessions are based on historical collection experience.
The following table presents revenue by payor type and as a percentage of revenue in our U.S. Facilities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 (dollars in thousands):

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $264.9 million compared to $128.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in operating cash flows primarily relates to funds received from and payroll deferrals related to the CARES Act. Days sales outstanding were 39 days for June 30, 2020 compared to 40 days at December 31, 2019.
Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $139.9 million compared to $178.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily consisted of $132.1 million of cash paid for capital expenditures, $4.4 million of cash paid for real estate and other of $4.8 million, offset by proceeds from sale of property and equipment of $1.4 million. Cash paid for capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2020 consisted of $40.5 million of routine capital expenditures and $91.6 million of expansion capital expenditures. We define expansion capital expenditures as those that increase the capacity of our facilities or otherwise enhance revenue. Routine or maintenance capital expenditures were 2.6% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily consisted of cash paid for acquisitions of $44.9 million, $139.1 million of cash paid for capital expenditures and $4.4 million of cash paid for real estate and other of $1.2 million offset by proceeds from sale of property and equipment of $11.6 million. Cash paid for capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2019 consisted of $40.1 million of cash paid for routine capital expenditures and $99.0 million of expansion capital expenditures.
Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $36.0 million compared to cash provided by financing activities of $42.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended
36
June 30, 2020 consisted of repayment of long-term debt of $450.0 million, principal payments of long-term debt of $21.2 million, principal payments on revolving credit facility of $100.0 million, payment of debt issuance costs of $10.6 million, common stock withheld for minimum statutory taxes of $1.4 million, distributions to noncontrolling interests of $0.5 million and other of $2.3 million offset by borrowings of long-term debt of $450.0 million and borrowings on revolving credit facility of $100.0 million. Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily consisted of borrowings on revolving credit facility of $76.6 million offset by principal payments of long-term debt of $16.5 million, principal payments on revolving credit facility of $11.6 million, common stock withheld for minimum statutory taxes of $1.6 million and other of $4.3 million.
We had total available cash and cash equivalents of $211.9 million and $124.2 million at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, of which approximately $44.3 million and $23.2 million was held by our foreign subsidiaries, respectively. Our strategic plan does not require the repatriation of foreign cash in order to fund our operations in the U.S., and it is our current intention to permanently reinvest our foreign cash and cash equivalents outside of the U.S.
During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we participated in certain relief programs offered through the CARES Act, including receipt of approximately $20 million relating to the initial portions of the PHSSE funds and approximately $45 million of payments from the CMS’ Accelerated and Advance Payment Program. In addition, we received a 2% increase in our facilities’ Medicare reimbursement rate as a result of the temporary suspension of Medicare sequestration provided for in the CARES Act.
We believe existing cash on hand, cash flows from operations, the availability under our revolving line of credit and cash from additional financing will be sufficient to meet our expected liquidity needs during the next 12 months.
We entered into the Senior Secured Credit Facility on April 1, 2011. On December 31, 2012, we entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement which amended and restated the Senior Secured Credit Facility. We have amended the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement from time to time as described in our prior filings with the SEC.
On February 6, 2019, we entered into the Eleventh Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Eleventh Amendment, among other things, amended the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” to remove the cap on non-cash charges, losses and expenses related to the impairment of goodwill, which in turn provided increased flexibility to us in terms of our financial covenants.
On February 27, 2019, we entered into the Twelfth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Twelfth Amendment, among other things, modified certain definitions, including “Consolidated EBITDA”, and increased our permitted Maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio, thereby providing increased flexibility to us in terms of our financial covenants.
On April 21, 2020, we entered into the Thirteenth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Thirteenth Amendment amended the Consolidated Leverage Ratio in the existing covenant to increase the leverage ratio for the rest of 2020.
We had $485.6 million of availability under the revolving line of credit and had standby letters of credit outstanding of $14.4 million related to security for the payment of claims required by our workers’ compensation insurance program at June 30, 2020. In early April 2020, we borrowed $100.0 million on the revolving line of credit to enhance our cash position in response to the potential impact of COVID-19 on our future liquidity and subsequently repaid this amount in late May 2020. Borrowings under the revolving line of credit are subject to customary conditions precedent to borrowing.
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement requires quarterly term loan principal repayments of our TLA Facility of $7.1 million for September 30, 2020 to December 31, 2020, and $9.5 million for March 31, 2021 to September 30, 2021, with the remaining principal balance of the TLA Facility due on the maturity date of November 30, 2021. We are required to repay the Tranche B-3 Facility in equal quarterly installments of $1.2 million on the last business day of each March, June, September and December, with the outstanding principal balance of the Tranche B-3 Facility of $447.3 million due on February 11, 2022. We are required to repay the Tranche B-4 Facility in equal quarterly installments of approximately $2.3 million on the last business day of each March, June, September and December, with the outstanding principal balance of the Tranche B-4 Facility of $854.4 million due on February 16, 2023.
Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by each of our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (other than certain excluded subsidiaries) and are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and such subsidiaries. Borrowings with respect to the TLA Facility and our revolving credit facility (collectively, “Pro Rata Facilities”) under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate tied to our Consolidated Leverage Ratio (defined as
37
consolidated funded debt net of up to $50.0 million of unrestricted and unencumbered cash to consolidated EBITDA). The Applicable Rate for the Pro Rata Facilities was 2.50% for Eurodollar Rate Loans and 1.50% for Base Rate Loans at June 30, 2020. Eurodollar Rate Loans with respect to the Pro Rata Facilities bear interest at the Applicable Rate plus the Eurodollar Rate (based upon the LIBOR Rate prior to commencement of the interest rate period). Base Rate Loans with respect to the Pro Rata Facilities bear interest at the Applicable Rate plus the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the prime rate and (iii) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0%. At June 30, 2020, the Pro Rata Facilities bore interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.50%. In addition, we are required to pay a commitment fee on undrawn amounts under our revolving credit facility.
The interest rates and the unused line fee on unused commitments related to the Pro Rata Facilities are based upon the following pricing tiers:
Pricing Tier
Consolidated Leverage Ratio
Eurodollar Rate
Loans

Borrowings with respect to the Tranche B-3 Facility bear interest as follows: Eurodollar Rate loans bear interest at the Tranche B-3 Facility Applicable Rate (as defined below) plus the Eurodollar Rate (based upon the LIBOR Rate prior to commencement of the interest rate period). Base Rate Loans bear interest at the Tranche B-3 Facility Applicable Rate plus the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the prime rate and (iii) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0%. As used herein, the term “Tranche B-3 Facility Applicable Rate” means, with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, 2.50%, and with respect to Base Rate Loans, 1.50%. The Tranche B-4 Facility bears interest as follows: Eurodollar Rate Loans bear interest at the Tranche B-4 Facility Applicable Rate (as defined below) plus the Eurodollar Rate (based upon the LIBOR Rate prior to commencement of the interest rate period) and Base Rate Loans bear interest at the Tranche B-4 Facility Applicable Rate plus the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the prime rate and (iii) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0%. As used herein, the term “Tranche B-4 Facility Applicable Rate” means, with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, 2.50%, and with respect to Base Rate Loans, 1.50%. At June 30, 2020, the Tranche B-3 Facility and the Tranche B-4 Facility bore interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.50%.
The lenders who provided the Tranche B-3 Facility and Tranche B-4 Facility are not entitled to benefit from our maintenance of the financial covenants under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Accordingly, if we fail to maintain the financial covenants, such failure shall not constitute an event of default under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with respect to the Tranche B-3 Facility or Tranche B-4 Facility until and unless the Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility is accelerated or the commitment of the lenders to make further loans is terminated.
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement requires us and our subsidiaries to comply with customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including a fixed charge coverage ratio, consolidated leverage ratio and consolidated senior secured leverage ratio. We may be required to pay all of our indebtedness immediately if we default on any of the numerous financial or other restrictive covenants contained in any of our material debt agreements. Set forth below is a brief description of such covenants, all of which are subject to customary exceptions, materiality thresholds and qualifications:
a)
the affirmative covenants include the following: (i) delivery of financial statements and other customary financial information; (ii) notices of events of default and other material events; (iii) maintenance of existence, ability to conduct business, properties, insurance and books and records; (iv) payment of taxes; (v) lender inspection rights; (vi) compliance with laws; (vii) use of proceeds; (viii) further assurances; and (ix) additional collateral and guarantor requirements.
b)
the negative covenants include limitations on the following: (i) liens; (ii) debt (including guaranties); (iii) investments; (iv) fundamental changes (including mergers, consolidations and liquidations); (v) dispositions; (vi) sale leasebacks; (vii) affiliate transactions; (viii) burdensome agreements; (ix) restricted payments; (x) use of proceeds; (xi) ownership of subsidiaries; (xii) changes to line of business; (xiii) changes to organizational documents, legal name, state of formation, form of entity and fiscal year; (xiv) prepayment or redemption of certain senior unsecured debt; and (xv) amendments to certain material agreements. We are generally not permitted to issue dividends or distributions other than with respect to the following: (w) certain tax distributions; (x) the repurchase of equity held by employees, officers or directors upon the occurrence of death, disability or termination subject to cap of $500,000 in any fiscal year and compliance with certain other conditions; (y) in the form of capital stock; and (z) scheduled payments of deferred purchase price, working capital adjustments and similar payments pursuant to the merger agreement or any permitted acquisition.

the consolidated senior secured leverage ratio may not be greater than 3.50x as of the end of each fiscal quarter.
At June 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all of the above covenants.
6.125% Senior Notes Due 2021
On March 12, 2013, we issued $150.0 million of 6.125% Senior Notes due 2021. The 6.125% Senior Notes mature on March 15, 2021 and bear interest at a rate of 6.125% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year.
On July 1, 2014, we issued $300.0 million of 5.125% Senior Notes due 2022. The 5.125% Senior Notes mature on July 1, 2022 and bear interest at a rate of 5.125% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each year.
On June 10, 2020, we issued conditional notices of full redemption providing for the redemption in full of the 6.125% Senior Notes and 5.125% Senior Notes on Redemption Date, in each case at the Redemption Price. On June 24, 2020, we satisfied and discharged the indentures governing the 6.125% Senior Notes and the 5.125% Senior Notes by irrevocably depositing with a trustee sufficient funds equal to the Redemption Price for the 6.125% Senior Notes and the 5.125% Senior Notes and otherwise complying with the terms in the indentures relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the 6.125% Senior Notes and the 5.125% Senior Notes. In connection with the redemption of the 6.125% Senior Notes and the 5.125% Senior Notes, we recorded a debt extinguishment charge of $3.3 million, including the write-off of the deferred financing and other costs in the condensed consolidated statements of income.
On February 11, 2015, we issued $375.0 million of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2023. On September 21, 2015, we issued $275.0 million of additional 5.625% Senior Notes. The additional notes formed a single class of debt securities with the 5.625% Senior Notes issued in February 2015. Giving effect to this issuance, we have outstanding an aggregate of $650.0 million of 5.625% Senior Notes. The 5.625% Senior Notes mature on February 15, 2023 and bear interest at a rate of 5.625% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year.
On February 16, 2016, we issued $390.0 million of 6.500% Senior Notes due 2024. The 6.500% Senior Notes mature on March 1, 2024 and bear interest at a rate of 6.500% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on September 1, 2016.
On June 24, 2020, we issued $450.0 million of 5.500% Senior Notes due 2028. The 5.500% Senior Notes mature on July 1, 2028 and bear interest at a rate of 5.500% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each year, commencing on January 1, 2021.
The indentures governing the Senior Notes contain covenants that, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to: (i) pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions or investments; (ii) incur additional debt or issue certain preferred stock; (iii) transfer or sell assets; (iv) engage in certain transactions with affiliates; (v) create restrictions on dividends
or other payments by the restricted subsidiaries; (vi) merge, consolidate or sell substantially all of our assets; and (vii) create liens on assets.
The Senior Notes issued by us are guaranteed by each of our subsidiaries that guarantee our obligations under the Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility. The guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several.
We may redeem the Senior Notes at our option, in whole or part, at the dates and amounts set forth in the indentures.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At June 30, 2020, we had standby letters of credit outstanding of $14.4 million related to security for the payment of claims as required by our workers’ compensation insurance program.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, which consist of licenses and accreditations, trade names and certificates of need intangible assets that are not amortized, are evaluated for impairment annually during the fourth quarter or more frequently if events indicate the carrying value of a reporting unit may not be recoverable. We have two operating segments for segment reporting purposes, U.S. Facilities and U.K. Facilities, each of which represents a reporting unit for purposes of the Company’s goodwill impairment test. Our annual goodwill impairment and other indefinite-lived intangible assets test performed as of October 1, 2019 resulted in no impairment charges.
During late March 2020, results in our U.S. Facilities and U.K. Facilities were affected by COVID-19. Based on recent financial performance and current forecasts, we believe it is more likely than not that the fair values of each of our reporting units exceeds the carrying values of each reporting unit. At June 30, 2020, no impairment indicators were present. Therefore, a quantitative impairment test was not required. We will continue to monitor our business, financial performance and forecasts for indicators of impairment prior to our annual impairment test on October 1, 2020. Continued disruptions to our business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and ability to service our indebtedness and may affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements including those related to the potential impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets.
There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies at June 30, 2020 from those described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Interest Rate Risk
Our interest expense is sensitive to changes in market interest rates. Our long-term debt outstanding at June 30, 2020 was composed of $1.5 billion of fixed-rate debt and $1.6 billion of variable-rate debt with interest based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin. A hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates (which would equate to a 0.27% higher rate on our variable rate debt) would decrease our net income and cash flows by $3.7 million on an annual basis based upon our borrowing level at June 30, 2020.
LIBOR and certain other interest “benchmarks” may be subject to regulatory guidance and/or reform that could cause interest rates under our current or future debt agreements to perform differently than in the past or cause other unanticipated consequences. The U.K.’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, has announced that it intends to stop encouraging or requiring banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR rates after 2021, and it is unclear if LIBOR will cease to exist or if new methods of calculating LIBOR will evolve. If LIBOR ceases to exist or if the methods of calculating LIBOR change from their current form, interest rates on our current or future debt obligations may be adversely affected. Management continues to evaluate new and existing contracts for the potential impact of the discontinuation of LIBOR.
Foreign Currency Risk
The functional currency for our U.K. facilities is the British pound or GBP. Our revenue and earnings are sensitive to changes in the GBP to USD exchange rate from the translation of our earnings into USD at exchange rates that may fluctuate. Based upon the level of our U.K. operations relative to the Company as a whole, a hypothetical 10% change in the exchange rate (which would equate to an increase or decrease in the exchange rate of 0.13) would cause a change in our net income of $6.0 million on an annual basis.
In May 2016, we entered into multiple cross currency swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $650.0 million to manage foreign currency exchange risk by effectively converting a portion of our fixed-rate USD denominated senior notes, including the semi-annual interest payments thereunder, to fixed-rate, GBP-denominated debt of £449.3 million. In August 2019, we terminated our existing net investment cross currency swap derivatives of $105.0 million. Cash received from the termination of the cross currency swap derivatives is included in investing activities in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. The related gain from this termination is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in accordance with ASC 815-30-40-1.
In August 2019, we also entered into multiple cross currency swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $650.0 million to manage foreign currency risk by effectively converting a portion of our fixed-rate USD-denominated senior notes, including the semi-annual interest payments thereunder, to fixed-rate GBP-denominated debt of £538.1 million. During the term of the swap agreements, we will receive semi-annual interest payments in USD from the counterparties at fixed interest rates, and we will make semi-annual interest payments in GBP to the counterparties at fixed interest rates. The interest payments under the cross-currency swap agreements result in £25.4 million of annual cash flows from our U.K. business being converted to $35.8 million. The cross currency swap agreements limit the impact of changes in the exchange rate on our cash flows and leverage.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2020 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
We are, from time to time, subject to various claims, lawsuits, governmental investigations and regulatory actions, including claims for damages for personal injuries, medical malpractice, overpayments, breach of contract, securities law violations, tort and employment related claims. In these actions, plaintiffs request a variety of damages, including, in some instances, punitive and other types of damages that may not be covered by insurance. In addition, healthcare companies are subject to numerous investigations by various governmental agencies. Certain of our individual facilities have received, and from time to time, other facilities may receive, subpoenas, civil investigative demands, audit requests and other inquiries from, and may be subject to investigation by, federal and state agencies. These investigations can result in repayment obligations, and violations of the False Claims Act can result in substantial monetary penalties and fines, the imposition of a corporate integrity agreement and exclusion from participation in governmental health programs. In addition, the federal False Claims Act permits private parties to bring qui tam, or “whistleblower,” suits against companies that submit false claims for payments to, or improperly retain overpayments from, the government. Some states have adopted similar state whistleblower and false claims provisions.
On April 1, 2019, a consolidated complaint was filed against the Company and certain former and current officers in the lawsuit styled St. Clair County Employees’ Retirement System v. Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc., et al., Case No. 3:19-cv-00988, which is pending in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. The complaint purports to be brought on behalf of a class consisting of all persons (other than defendants) who purchased securities of the Company between April 30, 2014 and November 15, 2018, and alleges that defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. At this time, we are not able to quantify any potential liability in connection with this litigation because the case is in its early stages.
On April 25, 2018, plaintiff filed Pence v. Sober Living By the Sea, Inc. - 30-2018-00988742-CU-OE-CXC, Orange County Superior Court (Pence I). On July 13, 2018, plaintiff next filed Pence v. Sober Living by the Sea, Inc.; Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. - 30-2018-01005317-CU-OE-CJC, Orange County Superior Court (Pence II). These cases have now been consolidated before the same judge in the Complex Litigation Department of the Orange County Superior Court. The complaints allege various wage and hour violations under California law on behalf of a putative class of all non-exempt California employees of Acadia and various subsidiaries, going back to April 25, 2014, and on behalf of purportedly aggrieved non-exempt employees under California’s Private Attorney General Act (“PAGA”). The claims include (1) failure to provide overtime wages; (2); failure to provide minimum wages; (3) failure to provide meal periods; (4) failure to provide rest periods; (5); failure to pay wages due at termination; (6) failure to provide accurate wage statements; (7) violations of California Business and Professions Code section 17200; and (8) civil penalties under California Labor Code section 2699 (PAGA). During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded approximately $4.0 million to transaction-related expenses in the consolidated statements of income based on our expected settlement and legal fees.
In the fall of 2017, Office of Inspector General issued subpoenas to three of our facilities requesting certain documents from January 2013 to the date of the subpoenas. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida issued a civil investigative demand to one of our facilities in December 2017 requesting certain documents from November 2012 to the date of the demand. In April 2019, the Office of Inspector General issued subpoenas relating to six additional facilities requesting certain documents and information from January 2013 to the date of the subpoenas. The government’s investigation of each of these facilities is focused on claims not eligible for payment because of alleged violations of certain regulatory requirements relating to, among other things, medical necessity, admission eligibility, discharge decisions, length of stay and patient care issues. We are cooperating with the government’s investigation but are not able to quantify any potential liability in connection with these investigations.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, an investor should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company has updated and supplemented certain risk factors previously disclosed in its periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as set forth below. The risks described herein and those in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to management or that management currently deems immaterial also may materially, adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results or cash flows.
The COVID-19 global pandemic is affecting our operations, business and financial condition, and our liquidity could be negatively impacted, particularly if the U.S. and U.K. economies remain unstable for a significant amount of time or if patient volumes decline at our facilities.
The global pandemic of COVID-19 is affecting our facilities, employees, patients, communities, business operations and financial performance, as well as the broader U.S. and U.K. economies and financial markets. COVID-19 is still rapidly evolving and its full impact remains unknown and difficult to predict; however, it adversely affected our business operations in the second quarter, is expected to impact our financial performance for the third quarter of 2020, and potentially could negatively impact our financial performance for the remainder of 2020 or longer.
COVID-19 has resulted in fewer referrals to our facilities and lower voluntary admissions as individuals are less inclined to leave their homes and seek treatment, all of which results in reduced admissions and patient volumes. If employees and/or patients at a facility are infected with COVID-19, there is a risk that the virus could spread to others at the facility and impact the operations of such facility. It is difficult to predict the duration of lower patient volume, and, as COVID-19 cases surged in the U.S. in late June and July, we cannot predict the timing of returning to pre-COVID volumes, if at all.
We are also experiencing supply chain disruptions and could experience significant price increases, in equipment, pharmaceuticals and medical supplies, particularly PPE. Pandemic-related staffing difficulties and equipment, pharmaceutical and medical supplies shortages may impact our ability to treat patients at our facilities. Such shortages could lead to us paying higher prices for supplies, equipment and labor and an increase in overtime hours paid to our employees. In recent periods, we have experienced higher staffing costs particularly in our U.K. Facilities. Our higher staffing costs have been amplified as a result of COVID-19 and increased competition and cost for nurses and other healthcare personnel needed for our business.
We may need to take additional steps to mitigate the financial impact of COVID-19, which actions could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations, including:
postponing or eliminating maintenance capital expenditures and growth capital expenditures, including acquisitions, de novo and joint venture development and facility expansions;
managing corporate and facility-level staffing costs by aligning staffing to patient volumes and implementing a hiring freeze for non-clinical staff; and
reducing marketing expenditures and other corporate expenses.
Even after taking into account the actions described above intended to strengthen our financial condition and increase our financial flexibility, we could experience material decreases in Adjusted EBITDA during the third quarter of 2020 and potentially for subsequent quarters.
Broad economic factors resulting from COVID-19, including high unemployment rates and reduced consumer spending, could also negatively affect our payor mix, increase the relative proportion of lower margin services we provide and reduce patient volumes, as well as diminish our ability to collect outstanding receivables. Business closings and layoffs in the areas in which we operate may lead to increases in the uninsured and underinsured populations and adversely affect demand for our services, as well as the ability of patients and other payors to pay for services as rendered. Any increase in the amount or deterioration in the collectability of patient accounts receivable will adversely affect our cash flows and results of operations, requiring an increased level of working capital. If general economic conditions continue to deteriorate or remain uncertain for an extended period of time, our liquidity and ability to repay our outstanding debt may be adversely affected.
In addition, our results and financial condition may be further adversely affected by future federal or state laws, regulations, orders, or other governmental or regulatory actions addressing the current COVID-19 pandemic or the U.S. or U.K. healthcare systems, which, if adopted, could result in direct or indirect restrictions to our business. We may also be subject to negative press and/or lawsuits from patients, employees and others exposed to COVID-19 at our facilities. Such actions may involve large demands, as well as substantial costs to resolve. Our professional and general liability insurance may not cover all claims against us.
Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused disruption in the financial markets and the businesses of financial institutions. These factors have caused a slowdown in the decision-making of these institutions, which may affect the timing on which we may obtain any additional funding. As a result, there can be no assurance that we will be able to access additional funds on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
As previously disclosed, we have suspended our pursuit of a strategic transaction for our U.K. business because of the negative impact COVID-19 is having on the capital markets and there is no assurance as to the timing, terms or viability of a restart of such a process. In addition, we may not be able to pursue organic growth initiatives and/or acquisition and joint venture opportunities previously planned or expected for our business.
The foregoing and other continued disruptions to our business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic have had and are likely to continue to have a material adverse effect on our business and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and our ability to service our indebtedness. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic (including governmental responses, broad economic impacts and market disruptions) has heightened the materiality of certain other risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Finally, although we intend to seek any available benefits under the CARES Act and other legislation, we cannot predict the manner in which such benefits will be allocated or administered and we cannot assure you that we will be able to access or retain such benefits. Certain of the programs under the CARES Act have not previously been administered on the present scale or at all. Government or third party program administrators may be unable to cope with the volume of applications in the near term and any benefits we receive may not be as extensive as we currently estimate, may impose additional conditions and restrictions on our operations or may otherwise provide less relief than we contemplate.
