Overview
We're excited to host a live Q&A with the leadership at ATI Physical Therapy's (Fortress Value Acquisition Corp II; $FAII), including Labeed Diab, CEO, and Joseph Jordan, CFO. FAII remains a Best Idea on the long side of our Position Monitor heading into the June 15th special meeting/business combination vote. Hedgeye Health Care Sector Head Tom Tobin will lead this interview, which we expect to focus on the drivers of our positive outlook for the company and revenue growth over the remainder of 2021 and into 2022. We're in the COVID-comp now and new cases have been crashing lately. The return to in-person care is picking up steam, life is returning to a more normal state (travel, sports, etc.), pent-up demand appears to be melting (i.e., surgeons are working through backlogs), and we believe that physical therapy is a primary, underappreciated beneficiary of the #reopening.
Discussion topics:
- ATI's business foundation - one brand with solid infrastructure and great talent, combination with FVAC II/Fortress
- 1Q21+April recap/highlights - visit volume trend and drivers
- Differences between ATI, USPH, and others - PT is a highly fragmented market
- De Novo and M&A opportunities - a multi-pronged strategy w/ "Acqui-Novos" and the potential for middle-market PE-backed and/or local/regional deals (update on valuations, what's baked into guidance)
- ATI's site selection process and white space
- eVisits - virtual PT
- Direct-to-employer deals - ATI First - and how to think about that opportunity as the US Medical Economy moves toward value-based, at-risk arrangements
We look forward to hearing Labeed's and Joseph's views on the above, as well as fielding any questions you may have.
