HNGR Release
Austin, Texas, June 14, 2018 - Hanger, Inc. (OTC PINK: HNGR), a leading provider
of orthotic and prosthetic patient care services and solutions, today announced the
filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31,
2018 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company is now current
with its periodic filings.
Vinit Asar, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hanger, Inc., stated, “Our first
quarter results were in-line with the preliminary expectations that we provided in
May. Adjusted EBITDA growth outpaced revenue increases, as we benefited from
lower operating expenses compared to the year-ago period.”
Mr. Asar continued, “We are pleased to report a continuation of the Patient Care
growth trends we re-established during 2017. We’ve achieved a good start to 2018
and anticipate a solid performance for the year.”
• Net revenue of $234.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018,
compared to $233.7 million for the same period in 2017.
• GAAP net loss of $22.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018,
compared to $17.7 million for the same period in 2017. Adjusted EBITDA was
$16.2 million in the first quarter of 2018 compared to $14.3 million in the first
quarter of 2017, an increase of $1.9 million.
• GAAP net loss includes $17.0 million in costs for the extinguishment of debt
associated with the Company’s first quarter re-financing.
• GAAP diluted loss per share was $0.62 for the first quarter of 2018, compared to
a loss of $0.49 per share in the first quarter of 2017. Adjusted diluted loss per
share was $0.13 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to a
loss of $0.17 per share in the same period in 2017.
• The Company’s first quarter results are affected by seasonality. The first quarter
is normally the lowest net revenue quarter of the year and the fourth quarter is
ordinarily the highest.
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company’s Patient Care net
revenue totaled $188.5 million, an increase of $0.9 million compared to the same
period of 2017. The net revenue growth was primarily the result of higher same
clinic revenue growth in the first quarter of 2018.
• Same clinic revenue per day grew 1.1 percent for the three months ended March
31, 2018. The Company reported year-over-year growth in prosthetics revenue
of 6.0 percent, which caused prosthetic revenue as a percentage of total
revenue to increase to 51 percent as compared with 49 percent in the first
quarter of 2017. Growth in prosthetics was partially offset by a decline in
orthotics, specifically lower-margin off-the-shelf devices and corrective footwear,
which the Company has deemphasized within its Patient Care clinics.
• The percentage of Patient Care’s disallowed gross revenue was 4.2 percent and
3.7 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
The first quarter of 2018 disallowance rate was consistent with Patient Care
disallowed revenue of 4.2 percent for the full year of 2017. While the Company
is pursuing continued improvements in disallowed revenue, it does not currently
anticipate a downward trend during 2018 similar to those seen over the past
three years.
Income from operations in the Patient Care segment was $17.1 million during the
first quarter of 2018, which reflected an increase of $2.6 million, or 17.5 percent,
over the $14.5 million reported in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA for the segment
was $23.0 million, which reflected a $2.2 million, or 10.5 percent increase over the
prior year period.

• In addition to the favorable effect of earnings from the growth in same clinic
sales during the first quarter of 2018, the Patient Care segment also benefited
from a decline of approximately $2.6 million in personnel and other operating
expense reductions, primarily lower benefit and bad debt expense. These
declines were partially offset by higher cost of materials, salary and travel
expenses in the Patient Care segment.
For the first three months of 2018, the Company’s Products & Services net revenue
totaled $45.5 million, a $0.6 million decrease compared to the same period of
2017, which was a decline of 1.2 percent. The revenue decline was due to a $1.3
million decrease in revenue for therapeutic solutions, which are services primarily
provided to the post-acute market within skilled nursing facilities.
Income from operations for the Products & Services segment declined by $0.2
million to $5.9 million in the first three months of 2018. Adjusted EBITDA for the
Products & Services segment was $8.7 million during the first quarter of 2018,
which reflected a $0.3 million decline as compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $9.0
million in the same period of 2017.
For the first three months of 2018, net loss was $22.6 million compared with a net
loss of $17.7 million in the same period of 2017.
• The higher net loss was due to the $17.0 million charge for extinguishment of
debt discussed above, recognized in the first quarter of 2018.
3
• Professional accounting and legal fees of $4.8 million reflected a decrease of
$7.8 million as compared to the first quarter of 2017. This decrease was the
result of a reduction in activities associated with the Company’s ongoing
financial remediation efforts.
Interest expense for the first quarter of 2018 declined to $12.3 million from $14.0
million in the same period of 2017. This $1.7 million decrease resulted from a
partial quarter of lower interest expense associated with the Company’s debt
refinancing in March 2018.
Liquidity
On March 31, 2018, the Company had liquidity of $127.0 million, comprised of
$32.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, and $94.1 million in available borrowing
capacity under its revolving credit facility, compared to liquidity of $87.9 million on
December 31, 2017, comprised of $1.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, and
$86.4 million in available borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility. The
increase in liquidity from year-end 2017 resulted from the refinancing of the
Company’s outstanding debt with a new, $605 million Senior Credit Facility,
completed on March 6, 2018.
2018 Outlook
As previously disclosed on May 14th, for the full year 2018, the Company anticipates
net revenue and Adjusted EBITDA to be generally consistent with actual 2017
results. Although the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA for the period ended March 31,
2018 reflected an increase over the comparable period in 2017, the Company
believes this to be primarily related to the favorable timing of its expenses in that
period. All amounts relating to the full year 2018 are subject to material change as
the Company continues to evaluate its expectations for annual results.

Segment Information: Revenue, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
(dollars in thousands)
EBITDA is defined as operating income before depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as
operating income before certain charges, impairments of intangible assets, third-party professional fees in
excess of normal amounts incurred in connection with our financial statement remediation, debt
extinguishment costs, expenses associated with equity-based compensation, severance expenses associated
with significant reductions in force and expenses incurred in connection with our acquisitions.
We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as measures to assess the relative level of our indebtedness and our
compliance with certain debt covenants which are based on these measures. Additionally, we utilize these
measures to assess our operating and financial performance. We believe that these measures enhance a
user’s understanding of normal operating income excluding certain charges, depreciation and amortization.
Neither EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA are measures of financial performance computed in accordance with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") and should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute
for operating income, net income, cash flows from operations, or other statement of operations or cash flow
data prepared in conformity with GAAP, or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. In addition, the calculation
of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is susceptible to varying interpretations and calculations, and the amounts
presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA may not be indicative of historical operating results, and we do not intend these measures to be

Reconciliation of net loss and loss per share to
adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share
(dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Earnings Per Share (or “EPS”) is defined as net income divided by our diluted common shares during the
applicable period. Adjusted EPS is defined as EPS adjusted for impairments of intangible assets, third-party
professional fees in excess of normal amounts incurred in connection with our financial statement remediation,
debt extinguishment costs, severance expenses associated with significant reductions in force and expenses
incurred in connection with our acquisitions and certain other charges.
We utilize Adjusted EPS to assess our operating and financial performance. We believe that this measure
enhances a user’s understanding of normal operating results excluding certain charges.
Adjusted EPS is not a measure of financial performance computed in accordance with GAAP and should not be
considered in isolation nor as a substitute for operating income, net income, cash flows from operations, or
other statement of operations or cash flow data prepared in conformity with GAAP, or as a measure of
profitability or liquidity. In addition, the calculation of Adjusted EPS is susceptible to varying interpretations and
calculations, and the amounts presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other
companies. Adjusted EPS may not be indicative of historical operating results, and we do not intend these
measures to be predictive of future results of operations.
